Software to combine audio and pictures to make movie

Hi. I have some pictures and wished to combine them with audio to make a movie. Some of the audio files are over 60 minutes long (can't use iMovie) and are in apple lossless format. It would be good to keep the audio in apple lossless so as not to reduce the audio quality (it's already bad enough). Keeping it in apple lossless may create issues with the size of the file though.
Because of the length of the audio files I can't do this in iMovie. I know I can do this in Final Cut Express but it is a little expensive. Any suggestions on what I can use?
All help would be appreciated.

Because of the length of the audio files I can't do this in iMovie.
Really? Do you mean iMovie is limited to some specific audio lenght? I don't think so.
Hope that helps !

Looking for a way to combine audio and images together into movie file

I am using JMF to make a tiny movie.
The thing is that I've done making sequential images (.jpeg) into a .mov(quicktime) video file, but I am not sure how to add audio (in this case in a .wav file) into this .mov . Does anybody has any idea?
Thanks.
P.S. this is the file that I am using to generate .mov, which is an example from SUN.

Forwarding audio and pictures

I can receive audio and pictures together but when I try to forward them the forwarding option is disabled. Why?

Hi
Don't know Why but it occures to often and
My way around this is that in iMovie HD 6 before applying any transition or effect.
Extract audio from Advance menu. (in iMovie'08 - I've got NO solution!)
When my movie is done I export as QT/Expert mode/audio as .aiff
Then I collect all audio on one of the audio tracks in iMovie and import
this new audio.aiff to the other.
Muting the "collection track" and "video audio" track.
Now it will play smooth - and this movie project icon will work
so much better with iDVD and Your DVD disc.
Burn at an as slow speed as possibly eg x1

Convert to MPEG2 Combined Audio and Video

I am editing a commercial that needs to end up in MPEG2 with combined audio and video. What is the process by which I do this. Obviously compressor splits the audio and video, but I need it combined.

Been there, done that.
I know the layout of Compressor 2 was different - can't remember if these presets were added for 3. Have you looked for Program Stream presets under Compressor 2?
Here's a thread I found on the Cow - says that after you use Compressor 2.3 to create your MPEG and AUDIO files, use MPEG Streamclip to mux them.

Combined Audio and Video bitrate question

When combining audio and video, how does the bitrate of the audio affect the calculation of the total bitrate? If I set my video compression bitrate at 5.5/7.5, how should those numbers be altered if I have, say, two Dolby Digital 2.0 streams at 192kbs each and a 5.1 surround stream at 448kbs?

From the DVD Studio Pro User Manual (p. 43):
Beware of Setting Your Bit Rate Too High
You will find that with some DVD projects, the content easily fits on the disc, and you may be tempted to use the highest video bit rate available. While higher bit rates produce better quality, you must take into account other factors before deciding to use the maximum allowable value.
The maximum video bit rate allowed on SD-based DVDs is 9.8 Mbps, but rarely is that practical to use since DVD players support combined video, audio, and subtitle bit rates of up to 10.08 Mbps. For HD-based DVDs, the maximum video bit rate is 29.4 Mbps for HD assets and 15.0 Mbps for any SD assets used in an HD project, with an overall maximum bit rate of 30.24 Mbps.
In practice, you should be conservative when determining how high of a bit rate to allow for. Trying to squeeze out the highest possible bit rate for your project can lead to player compatibility and disc space issues. A general recommendation is to not exceed 9.2 Mbps for the combined video and audio bit rates when authoring SD projects, or 29 Mbps when authoring HD projects.
Important: If you are building your project and DVD Studio Pro detects that the bit rate of the multiplexed stream is too high, the build stops and an error message appears.
Using PCM or AC-3 Audio
A single PCM audio stream using typical settings (as produced with the embedded AIFF encoder) requires 1.536 Mbps, which leaves an absolute maximum bit rate for the video in an SD project of around 8.54 Mbps. If there are two PCM audio streams, 3.07 Mbps must be allowed for the audio, leaving just 7.01 Mbps for the video.
Note: Even though you can only play one audio stream at a time, the bit rates of all audio streams must be added together when determining the overall bit rate for a track. Similarly, all subtitle streams must be added together and added to the overall bit rate.
Using AC-3 audio in place of the PCM audio leaves far more room for the video bit rate. Stereo AC-3 audio using typical settings requires only about 224 kbps—using two stereo AC-3 streams in place of the PCM audio leaves about 9.6 Mbps for the video.
See “Calculate the audio allowances” on page 636 for more information about allowances for other audio formats.
Hope this helps
Good luck!

How to make a movie of a presentation keeping audio and pictures in sync

How can I synch slides and audio (the audios are different lengths) in a presentation and turn it into a video.
Each slide should stay in place until the audio has finished (the audio's are slightly different lengths).
I've tried using a free trial of "Adobe Presenter" but I couldn't seem to make a movie of my presentation.
I will consider purchasing the software that will do this for me as I have a few presentations I want to make and convert to movie format for my colleagues to watch (this is to help in a teaching environment).
Is there a program that will let me match up my audios and slides in the correct order and synch them so the audios do not move beyond the slide for which they are intended? Any help much appreciated with this problem.

Hi,
The slide duration in presenter is automatically adjusted according to the time of the audio inserted on that slide.
How are you inserting audio on slide ? Recording or inserting using presenter option ?
You cannot create a movie format like avi, mp4 etc
But you may publish the presenttaion in the swf format which will play in a browser or a swf player. To play in the broswer you just need to have Adobe Flash Player installed on your system. It will play like a movie in the broswer.
Let me know if you need some more help
Thanks,

Exporting Audio and Picture to PROTOOLS

I'm doing all of my audio editing and mixing on ProTools. What is the best way to export my edited work from FCP on one computer to ProTools on another? Is there a way I can do it to have high-quality audio and low-quality video to save space? Is there a certain format or codec I need to render in?

Export an OMF file of the audio only for your high quality audio. The use of Automatic Duck allows you to keep all your audio level changes and rubberbanding. Without it, everything will come it at their original volume.
Then you will have to export video separately as Sorenson 3 or MPEG-4.

IWeb Podcast - Drag and Drop Audio and Picture Files

I have been using iWeb the last few days to create a web site that includes some podcasts. I currently have three podcasts as a part of the site. I have been able to get two of the podcasts to work correctly but the third one, no matter how many times I recreate it seems to be where the difficulty lies.
The podcast page gives me the opportunity to drag and drop an audio file and a picture file onto the page. As best I can tell, when I drop the audio file onto the page, things seem to be fine. When I drop the picture file onto the object, the audio clip seems to disappear. I have tried dropping the picture file first with basically the same results.
A couple of more things. I created the original podcast file in GB3. I have found I can't import the podcasting file directly form GB because I end up with a very large file (>60GB) for the audio portion. So, I share the audio file to disk as an M4a file. When I add the audio to the podcast page in iWeb, I drag the audio file from Finder onto the object. The picture I have dropped onto the podcast page both from the Media Browser and from Finder. The results are the same.
Any help is appreciated.
Dave

I think you're asking the question in the wrong forum. From what you posted, there's nothing wrong with GB, you should post in the iWeb forum where you're more likely to get useful and accurate answers about, well, iWeb.

How do you combine audio and video files?

I've brought in a video file and an audio file, but can find no way to specify that they are a single source that should be compressed together. The documentation was of no use. How do you identify video and audio files as being one source?
Thanks!

Semantics, I suppose. In any case, you do need to go through Premiere Pro if you want AME to do the job. There are likely other encoders out there which can perform the muxing, though, if you'd rather not go through PP.

My HD is full, but my I'm showing 30 GB of audio and 70 GB of movies that I cannot find.

I'm still on 10.7.4 and under 'About this Mac' 'storage' shows the above amount of files, and more, that i cannot find via any searches of typical extensions. I deleted, and emptied trash, months ago, of all of these file types, and I never had so much in the first place. Strangely, when I talley the space of my files and applications, I total 70 GB, which is also what disk inventory x (suggested in some discussions) finds. The problem is that my disk capacity is 250 GB, but I cannot update my OSX because I only have 1 GB left of storage. What can I possibly do to clear this and create more room? I have searched repeatedly in the discussions and have not been successful in finding a solution.

You're absolutely right. Your drive isn't full...however it's being used by Time Machine to make Local Snapshots.
You should use Time Machine to backup to an external drive.

Audio and video tracks in movies and tv shows purchased at the itunes store do not play in sync on my desktop PC - can anybody help?

Any thoughts?

Purchased movies from iTunes are automatically available on Apple's cloud, but not as part of your purchased storage; purchased movies are stored free, since you can redownload them any time (unless the movies are no longer available).
From Apple:
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization

Video and Pictures in one movie

I have movies from my digital camera that look best smaller than full screen to keep the pixilation to a minimum. When I string these movies together in iMovie they look great because the video is a small square in the centre of the screen - as soon as I add a photo(s) in between the video clips the entire project changes to full screen and the video looks not as good. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. if it's the titles in movies (that were created by iPhoto) then create a standard slideshow in iDVD and add the movie file(s) to it. That will scale the movie to the TV safe area like iDVD does with still slideshows.

SWF audio and video out of sync

I'm trying to output a swf video (talking head). Originally I
tried importing a wmv file but when I created the swf the audio and
picture were out of sync which is no good for a talking head!
I've tried to encode a flv version of the wmv using flash
video encoder but then the swf has a blank screen. Has anyone got
any ideas of how I can sync these too?
Thanks!

Hello again
Yeah, full motion capture is a bit of an equine of a
different hue. It's literally like turning on a camcorder and
recording what you see. And as you have seen, you can't really edit
things after the fact. Well, to a certain extent you can, but it's
more like using a cheese slicer to trim off bits of the beginning
and end or maybe the middle. And you can splice things together.
But it's nothing like the screen capture mode and editing you can
do that way.
So I suppose we need more information on exactly how things
are working on your vmware setup. You say that Print Screen doesn't
work there? I'm guessing there is maybe a conflict with the key.
Have you tried assigning a different key? Or possibly just try
clicking the mouse when you see the splash screen. Usually a mouse
click will trigger a screen capture.
Or are you maybe running Captivate on the remote machine and
attempting to capture while driving things remotely? If so, I'm
unsure if that would even work. But thought I'd ask.
Cheers... Rick
