Soundtrack ideas for a manufacturing video?

Hey all.
I'm editing a video for a firm that manufacture machined metal parts.
It's getting late and i'm 'stuck' - anyone got any great soundtrack ideas?
The complete process is about 2 mins 45 secs.
thanks in advance
Mike

As a part-time composer, I think this would be a great gig (I've done music for handtools before).
But as to music that already exists, I was thinking of Robert Hohner percussion ensemble - like "Far More Drums" but maybe its too over the top for what you've got?

  • Ideas for syncing 2 videos for use in multiclip

    So, I shot a live concert with 2 cameras and am now attempting to use multiclip for the first time. There was some kind of hicup on one camera and when I capture the video from tape it comes in as 3 clips. The second camera I made a stupid mistake and hit standby once. So now I've got several clips and they are not synchronized. I want to use all the audio from the one camera and then multiclip some angles from the second camera.
    In the beginning of the show there were several people taking pictures and they used a flash and I was able to use the flash to sync up the 2 video cameras exactly. Then I used multiclip successfully to edit. Now about 20 minutes into the show I've got pieces of video that are not in sync and no flashes to use to help me. Any ideas or tips on how I might be able to synch things up again?

    That's the idea. The other thing you can do if you had a common timecode is set the AUX timecodes for the pieces and sync on AUX timecode when you build the multiclip.

  • When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

    I too have the same problem.  The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video.  Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   its a joke,  my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well.  at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues.  Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!,  there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem. 

  • Ideas for Title, Credit on Video Project

    Hi all:
    Just looking for ideas for a video project for children that I've about completed. The elements left are the titles and credits.
    So, I thought about making backgrounds/text with Elements. Drawing type? Crayon? Colorful? Pastel? Floating? Ragged Edge Background?
    Besides ideas that are youthful...."kid like graphics", I'm not sure how to keep the text aligned so that it doesn't jump when I dissolve or transistion between video text events.
    Hope this makes sense. Ask away if it doesn't.
    All ideas appreciated.
    Mike

    Thanks Ward and Grant.....good suggestions to get my mind working. Sometimes you get in a rut with ideas.
    Grant, as to your question/comment on text alignment.
    Most video editors accept just about any image that a person can create using a program like PS or PSE. You just have to import the images in as bitmaps or PSD...etc. My idea was to create my text elements, in this case, credit and titles, using PSE because it's so much more powerful than a basic CG or credit generator.
    So, I'd have multiple pages with lines of text on each page. Creating those isn't unique.
    But, the one thing that I can't seem to make the work flow easy with is this: If you create an image with PSE that has one line of text on it, then how can you easily repeat that placement of text in another image? Horizontal and vertical? I thought about using the grid, but that seems sort of----well---sloppy. Isn't there another "sure fire" method. For instance, in most video editing software packages you can place the text based on X and Y coordinates. That makes it easy to do over and over again. Oh, hey maybe the key in doing this would be to simply copy and then re-edit the text.....but I'm not sure about that yet. Maybe I'm just dreaming or complaining too much.
    Hey thanks again for the ideas.

         The disk space is running VERY low and I would love an idea. I make videos and upload them to youtube and I need space to do that. Thanks for your time!                              
                                       If you have an idea please respond!

    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
    This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • Using iMovie 09, when downloading video fromm Samsung HMX- H106SN, The video image is stretched. Anyone have an idea for a fix?

    Using iMovie 09, when downloading video from Samsung HMX- H106SN, the video image in iMovie is stretched. I see no obvious way to adjust this in iMovie.  When played on HDTV directly from camera using HDMI, the video image is fine.  Is this a compatibility issue? Anyone have an idea for a fix?
    Thnx, olive.c

    Thanks guys! Appreciate the help. Unfortunately I'm just not getting the same quality/file size/performance that I'm getting from the traditional Apple TV export option.
    I did however find what I think might even be a better solution for anyone using a mono wireless mic system like myself... use what's called a 3.5mm stereo jack to 3.5mm mono plug adapter. They're only like $5 and not only convert the audio so it comes out of both speakers, but this is probably a better option cause now in post production (iMovie) the other tracks like music etc... are still in stereo.
    Here's a link to the adapter on Tiger Direct... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=93027 7&sku=C184-03174&srkey=3.5mm%20mono%20plug%20to%203.5mm%20stereo%20socket
    Hope this helps!

  • Any ideas for a Birthday wishes video????

    Howdy folks,
    Thanks for taking a peak at this post. No technical problems--as of yet, but just wanted to hear from the crowd on some creativity with the apps.
    Any ideas for a background/slate to place behind people giving their best wishes to the birthday-boy?
    Editing on FCP, access to all of the CS applications--any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
    Thanks again for your time and have a great day,
    Liza

    Wow Bob,
    I can see that cowboy lasso/rope spinning on the top your head, but... watch out, I think you arm just hit your hat off your head... friendly.

  • A different concept for producing music video's..is it possible?

    Hi,
    In preparing for a music video shoot this week I wondered if a feature in Soundtrack Pro 2 could be put into FCP 7???
    I am recording the music (10 min) of piano and cello for a tango. After editing I will play it back for dancers. It would be incredible if I could play it back in Soundtrack Pro which would sync to FCP capture window, and use the multiple take feature to keep recording over the same timeline space with different video takes. They would line up on different video tracks in FCP and the audio would stay the same. That way you could immediately see if all of your music was covered with footage that you like. It would save a lot of post production time.
    Could this be possible in the future?
    On another note, I am recording with the Letus 35 depth of field adapter for a film look. Is there any advantage of recording in Prores 422 HQ over DVCPro HD? I'm shooting on a HVX-200 with P2 or I could go into an AJA IOHD. I plan to bring it into Color after the shoot. Any advice would be appreciated

  • Best setting for encoding flv video?

    What is the best, most universally accepted setting for encoding flv videos to be viewed over cable modem access?

    I completely understand.
    For print work, I did a lot of that with either Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy in Photoshop. Then, they added Layer Comps, and that cut down on the work, but allowed me to have several "treatments."
    Have not used that in PrPro though. I see the usefulness of the feature though.
    Yeah, clients are fond of saying, "really appreciate you following all of my ideas, but I think I like what you had last week better... Can we go with it, but with these few extra changes?" Happens all too frequently. Lot easier now, than back in the old days, when one painted the cyc, set up the shot, and lit it, only to have the AD change the color of the cyc. When done, they'd often say, "liked that original color better. Let's tear it all down and re-paint to that." Now, I just change the color of the background digitally - a lot less painting!!!"
    Thanks for that tip,

  • Brainstorming ideas for new infrastructure

    Good afternoon,Wasn't quite sure where to put this so I put it under Best Practices. Feel free to move it if there's a better spot. It sort of covers all topics and is more of a high level conversation.I'm toying with a few different options so I want to lay it out on "paper" and see what others might think. A few weeks ago I started as the IT Manager for a manufacturing company with 2 companies under it's umbrella located at 2 sites.

  • Ideas for incormprating youtube clips

    I am not realys realy sure if any one has any ideas but it would be greatly appreciated if any has some ideas for me.  Let me start by saysing that i am just a beginer with Dreamweaver but i can normaly figure things out.
    Here is my delima.   I currently have a website and has a page for each sale that i want to post some video clips on. after you click on the lot # it taked you to that lots numbers page and then after you are at the lot number page you click start and it starts the embeded clip off of you tube.
    ie.
    Home Page
         Sale Page
              Lot1
              Lot2
              Lot 3
    The issure i have it is takes me a very long time to update and creat each page for the lot numbers as they all embreded from youtube. and i currently have it so i have a back and forward button for each lot.
    This is my idea but i am just not sure how or even if its possible
    On my sale page I would have a list of the lot numbers that could scroll on the left side of the screen and then after you click on the lot number from the scroll list it would start playing to the right of the list still having it posted on you tube.
    If any one has any ideas for me, or a template that a person can look at or purchase please let me know.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the info.. I will do a little more reading but i guess i idea is more so if i have a list of links posted on my site, how do i get those links to open embeded in the page?
    so my idea is more so have  a list like this
    lot1
    lot2
    lot3
    lot4
    lot5
    and then if you click on the lot1 it would open the youtube video clip to the right of the list of lot#.   what i can figure out is how to make it easy so i only have to make one page for each sale and not one page for each lot.
    any further ideas
    Thanks

  • Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Streaming Flash Video

    Hello,

  • How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video?

    If I'm using FCE:
    1) How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video:
    if I downloaded 150mins of HD video? and
    do editing with it which will have an output of 120mins.
    Now PC, going to a MAC user soon   Windows XP  

    Hi(bonjour)!
    As a rule of thumb for HDV editing, use those numbers:
    12 to 15 meg/second for capturing ( your project is 150 minutes long, so 780 meg/minute, or 117 to 125 Gig).
    If you do any editing, add transition, video effect, add 12 to 15 meg /second to the total.
    As your project will have to be rendered for the print to tape operation, calculate 12 to 15 meg/second for all the length of your final movie. Add this amount to the total. (example: a 60 minutes movie : 49 Gig).
    If you want to burn a DVD on your Mac, calculate 3 to 4 meg/second for downconversion to DV material if you check "self-contained" in quicktime export dialog. (example: your finished project is 60 minutes long : 10.8 Gig)
    iDVD itself needs 3 to 4 times this amount if you want flawless operation.
    Finally, if you use your internal hard disk for all this storage (it's not a good idea to capture on the same drive where Mac OS X belongs), your Mac OS needs some spare room to breath (doing caching, etc), and your hard drive must have a least 25% of free space to avoid file's fragmentation.
    As hard drive's price drop, get the maximum size you can afford. 250 Gig is a good choice if you want to do just one project of 90 to 150 minutes at the time.

  • Some ideas for Apple

    Here's some ideas for a future version of iTunes:
    Why not have multiple genre listing available? For instance a track can be both 'Soundtrack' and 'Rock', or for crossover genres, both 'soul' and 'funk'.
    Also, how about a customisable type of playlist creator that works like this:
    You take tracks and join them together in 'trees', by linking them using a kind of rubber band device. The playlist then follows a random path through the music collection, but only following the branches of the tree - so you could get a smooth musical journey from one genre to another: Reggae --> dancehall --> drum n bass --> hardcore --> techno --> house. Or Rock --> Psychedelic rock --> Funk ---> Soul.
    I've got a million more ideas like that if you guys at Apple want to offer me a job...

    Reflect, since this is a user to user forum only, no one from Apple will see your ideas. This link will tell you how to submit feedback to the iTunes team.
