Syncing/Merging Video and Audio, Getting rid of production audio

I'm driving myself crazy over here thinking there must be a simple solution I am overlooking. I have clips with production audio that came from the camera. I also have separate audio wav files that came from the dat tape. I want to sync the video with the wav sound, lose the bad camera audio and create a new clip that references back to the original material. Is this possible? So far, all I have been able to do is create a merged clip with all of the audio files (from camera and dat). Thanks for any help.

I think I finally figured it out. (Yes, I am very determined) A few steps, but worth it if everything
links back to original material and makes editing easier...
So, what I figured out is:
1. Put take with video in the viewer and select an in mark. (I used sticks) Cut video only into the timeline.
2. Put audio wav file in viewer, select the in and cut audio into timeline.
3. Check sync.
4. Select both the audio and video in the timeline.
5. Command L to link the audio and video together (important step I
missed earlier in my travails)
6. Now select and drag the audio and video from the timeline directly into a bin.
This creates the clip I have been tearing my hair out about....with only the audio that I want, no extra tracks.
Thanks to Jerry for his help and suggestions.

Time code finder to auto sync separate video and audio

Hi All,
Trying to see if FCP has a tool that would allow me to type in the time code from my digital slate to instantly sync separate video & audio. Shot a low budget feature on a RED and digitally recorded audio. We did setup the RED to get reference audio but now I need to sync each scene and take up to the primo audio.
As far as I know, FCP doesn't have any such option but I hope someone proves me wrong.

This is kind of off the top of my head, since I usually sync using the "dumb" part of the slate, but here's a workflow I'd try. I'm assuming here that the timecode from your digital slate matches the audio timecode.
1. Select an audio clip in the bin. Choose from the menu Modify/Timecode...
2. Copy the Source TC value into the Aux TC 1 row. You might have to turn on some checkboxes on the left side. Make sure the format and the rate are the same for both.
3. Open the video clip in the viewer and find a frame where you can see the smart slate clearly.
4. Select Modify/Timecode... and enter the timecode value you see in that frame in the Aux TC 1 row. Again, be sure you're using the right format and rate.
5. Select the two audio and video clips that you want to sync. Choose Modify/Merge Clips... and synchronize using Aux Timecode 1.
You should then have a new merged clip with the audio and video in sync. The scratch audio that came with the video file will be there too, so pay attention to your audio patching and be careful about which tracks you actually cut into the timeline.
I can't say for sure if this is faster than just marking inpoints at the clap on each clip. Typing in all that timecode could be hazardous to one's health.

Syncing separate video and audio

My audio was recored separately from my video. (We used a clapper on set similar to a film shoot) After I have synced the video and audio on the timeline, is there a way I can marry both so whenever I open my video clip from the browser, the audio stays constantly sunk.

Merge Clips works most of the time but I have found the only dependable way to make sure audio and video stay together forever and ever is export it self-contained. For me, using DV, that's not a big deal.
Also to consider, your audio file may drift over time which may require breaking things up into 30-90 second clips.

Here is a Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips

Check out my Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips http://vimeo.com/28972315

Very true ! My main point was to show how easy it was to sync. I still think apple has a way to go to make this a great tool. It was fast to edit but when I want to send somthing to AE 5.5 it was a nightmare. I do I love how it organizes keywords and the color correction tools are good if you want to do it your self (check out this site http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/final-cut-pro-x-color-grading-table-of-conten ts ) it will be a great program if apple listens to all the comments but does not make it too complicated the you cant create quickly.

Sync of Video and Audio streams

I got a main project to make a video conferance system. And i'm not sure how to sync the video and Audio streams. (Audio need to have higher priority than video)
Video is all moust real-time but audio is around 0.5 sec delay at the fastest.
I realy need to find out how to sync them since its one of my main subjects in the project.
So if anyone know how to, plz let me know.

Hello,
I try to implement a videoconference in Java with JMF. At the reception, audio and vid�o aren't synchronizing. I'm looking for a solution to resolve this problem because i think in this kind of application, audio and video tracks must be synchronized. I'd like to know when and how can i do the synchronization : at the capture, before transmission, or at the reception ?

Recorded videos and I can't hear any audio. Is the audio there and I cant hear it, or didn't get picked up at all?

The other night I went to a concert and tried to record some videos on my iPhone 4. When I came home and watched them, there was no sound! So I tried everything from making sure it wasn't on silent, bluetooth was off, restarted it, tried opening it in a media player, and nothing. I even uploaded them to a computer and no sound. Then I tried to record a test video and when I did that, my audio was fine. Did I do something wrong when recording at the concert? And was the audio not picked up and I have nothing or is it there and I just can't hear it? Theres no buzzing noise or slight nosie, just completely silent.

You should have gotten a user manual. If the manual is of no help, contact the manufacturer.

Can't get rid of original Audio

I'm overwriting a clip on the timeline with a clip from the events, but I can't get rid of the audio from the timeline clip. What's up? Even when I cut the clip I want to replace, its audio remains.

I did not separate it.
What do you mean by "edit style"? Can't seem to find a way to adjust that.
It seems that whatever I do, the original audio stays. I tried to overwrite, and I tried to completely cut out the original audio... I'm trying to cut in a close-up over a medium shot and want to use the dialogue from the close-up.
Thanks.

HT1711 there is a youtube video, and i wish to locate the audio and place it on my ipod,can this be done?

Syncing between iPhoto on your iPhone and iPhoto on your Mac is one-way. You can sync selected albums, events, faces, places albums from your Mac to iPhoto on your iPhone using iTunes. This will not delete any albums you created on your iPhone, just add new albums. But albums you create on your iPhone cannot be synced to your Mac.
See this page on how to transfer photos from iPhoto on your iPhone to your Mac:

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

This is the website.

IF you know the exact file name of the download, you can search for it in the spotlight.
(This icon) in the upper right corner.
If you don't know the exact file name, you may have to redownload it so you can see it.
I would also try doing a reboot after you change your desktop background to what you want.

I can't sync the Not Afraid music video that I purchased this morning to my iPod Classic. It's frustrating because I have no issues syncing other videos and the rest of the album that this video came with synced just fine. Please help!

You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you sync with another one the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with what is in the library of the second computer.
However, you can manage music among multiple computers. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum

You can use an external drive with LR but I recommend only using it for
image file storage while keeping your catalog on your internal HD for
performance. If you moved files outside of LR (Finder or Explorer) you will
have to clue LR in on where they are now. Use the left-hand folder panel in
Library mode to navigate to the location on your external drive and use the
find photo option get LR to reconnect them. If you moved the catalog and
now LR can't find it you should get a window allowing you to select a new
one where you can navigate to the new location and select it. You can also
just start LR by clicking on the Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat file to open it
and start LR.
