Using LP8 to compose for film - Sync'ing video & audio

GB allows you to have a "video track" for doing music for video, does LP8 allow this??
Im doing a score for a short film (about 6mins) & i would like to sync up audio with video. Currently i have imported the film into iMovie HD & have broken it up into sections for the scenes. Can i import these scenes into LP8 to sync it with the music?
I do have soundtrack but im needing to use logic to compose the music.
cheers

Sure in the global tracks you can configure a video track displaying the single frames of your movie if the zoom in is big enough. Just import your movie (the default key command for this is apple+M) - right click on the global track to configure it - tick the box "video" and voila. If you click the little downwards arrow in the video track the pictures get bigger.

In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

Best use of RAID 0, for O/S or Video Editing data disk ?

I now have a RAID 0 setup of two 120GB discs (1 x P-ATA & 1 x S-ATA) as well as a S-ATA 160GB and a P-ATA 60GB.
Now what should I use the RAID disc for ?
My choices are:
P-ATA 60GB for operating system (current)
RAID 0 (220GB) for Video Editing Data
S-ATA 160GB for other data, swap file, My Documents and System Images.
Or
RAID 0 (220GB) for operating system (current) and swap file
S-ATA 160GB for Video Editing Data
P-ATA 60GB for other data, My Documents and System Images.
Or
S-ATA 160GB for operating system (current) and swap file
RAID 0 (220GB) for Video Editing Data
P-ATA 60GB for other data, My Documents and System Images.
Which will give me the best performance/balance for Games and Video Editing
Am I likely to hit any problems with using the SATA drive as the operating system drive, I thought I heard somewhere that XP wouldn't allow Drive C to be allocated to a SATA drive ?

If you do video editing, where speed pays, think that you should use Raid for this kind of work.

HT201317 Sync'ing videos

So then can anyone tell me how to get videos from my iPhone to iPhoto? They aren't sync'ing at all.
Thanks

sorry, how do you import the movies?
when i connect the phone to the computer via USB, iPhoto comes up and sometimes starts sync'ing photos, but the videos aren't sync'd.

Can the new keyboard USB be used for iPod connection for charge & sync'ing?

I have never had an iMac..yet.
Goon buy the new one soon, I was going to get the wireless keyboard but it doesnt include any USB ports like the wired version so because the iMacs USB are put on the back (shouldnt they put on in easy reach on the front?)
Can the iPod be plugged into the keyboards and charged and synced?

Get yourself a [Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port for Macintosh|http://www.provantage.com/belkin-f5u233-apl~7BELU032.htm] to prevent having to reach around to plug/unplug your devices.
I have my keyboard connected in one USB port.
Then I have my printer connected into the second port.
Then a 7 Port Belkin Hub connected in the thrid port.
Then all my cords for iPod, camera's and other devices are connected to the Hub.
Then there's no need to plug/unplug anything but, the device to it's cord and flash drives into that top port.

Sync'ing iPod Audio to Digital Video

I recorded a speech recently with two HD digital cameras, recording at 29.97. The video tracks sync'd easily. The speaker wore an iPod Nano with a microphone. The iPod output an m4a file, which sounds great, but is out of sync with the video. It starts out fine, but after about 3 minutes, the difference is noticeable. At 20 minutes, the audio is over 1 second behind the video. I have tried re-sampling the video in Soundtrack Pro, Soundbooth, and Audition. Nothing is working. What can I do to correct this?

It's a common problem when trying to combine non-timecode and non-trimeframe based media to precisely timed video formats.
Select the video track and examine its length. Write it down, accurate to the frame.
Select the audio track and select speed adjust. Enter the length of the video track. Render.
The small variation in pitch should not be noticeable. If it is, do the adjustment the other way by changing the length of the video track to match the audio. Thsi will impose a clearly visible hiccup in the frames on a regular interval but people tend to gloss over weird video these days; they've been numbed to bad video over the Net.

Hi all ,anyone knows some usefual Codecs for H.264 live video/audio

I'm headache about the JMF codecs ,they are too few ,and seems inefficiency, anyone knows pure java codecs for H.264 or MPEG4 ?And I think it's better a open source one ,do my thanks , guys!

Here are some basics....
FMLE creates RTMP protocol streams that PCs and Macs watch with Flash players. iOS devices don't understand RTMP (Flash), only HLS delivery of 10 second chuncks of downloaded video playback. Both systems understand H.264 video, but iOS wants to see AAC audio not MP3.
You didn't state how you are live streaming, meaning what bandwidth delivery service you are using. Live streaming only via RTMP won't get you to successful iPad and iPhone HTTP Live Stream. On-demand delivery to iOS devices normally requires .mp4 video files to be hosted, which Macs and PCs also understand via RTMP delivery. But unless your delivery service can convert .f4v or .flv files to .mp4 on the fly there is no easy way to to get to iOS via the direct file output of FMLE as of today. Sometimes we upload live encoded project files to our www.Wistia.com account for PC, Mac and iOS delivery. This is a YouTube / Vimeo paid type hosting service for on-demand only.
Some commercial CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) today allow an inbound live RTMP into their system using FMLE. Then they re-mux that RTMP stream into HLS delivery for iOS. Some work well using the native MP3 audio codec (Internap), but most require FMLE to have the AAC audio codec installed from Main Concept for $200. Or people use Wirecast from Telestream which is $500 per license to be able to run two instances on that one license.
In my 15 years of being a big commercial webcaster here in Silcion Valley, I have yet to find the perfect simple and easy and affordable RTMP to HLS live and on-demand delivery system. We currently do it different ways with multiple providers depending on the job. More offerings are coming out now and we try them all as they come down the pike.

Sync Multiple Video & Audio Clips

I have a lot of camera clips and multiple audio recordings. None are named to be together but I wanted to sync them all. Tried Plural eyes and it just doesn't get it. Any advice on this? Thanks

Do it manually. Works every time.

Newbie Mac user needs help for mac to tv video/audio connection.

Alright so I scrolled through the forum posts of lots of people with specific problems on connecting to their tvs, but I have a far more general problem.
I really have no idea what cable(s) I need to in order to watch items playing on my laptop on my tv. It is an older tv, so I don't have HDMI connectivity, so right now my choices are basic 3 component or the 5 input color stream component.
So what cable(s) do I need to do this? A link to the item(s) in question in the apple store would be very helpful.
Thanks so much!

Are u using Web Page Composer? Would like to get ur feedback.

Dear Fellows,
Is anyone using Web Page Composer for prodution purpose yet? The point is I upgraded to NW04S SP 13 (specifically to install WPC) however its still buggy and not that user friendly.
I was hoping that most of the issues will be knocked out in NW04S SP14 and I applied SP14 on my sandbox environment but those issue still exist.
I intend to use it in my production server soon. May be I am missing something from my side; So is any of you using WPC successfully? If so, what release are you in?
Thanks a lot,
Deepak

Hi Deepak
I am involved in a project where we are using the WPC for content management on an external facing portal (soon to go-live), and I can share a bit of our experiences with the product.
In my opinion the product still has quite a few places for improvement:
- The procedure for creating new page layouts is (too) complicated and time-consuming.
- We have encountered a problem with the wpc connector when using the light framework page (seems to work fine with standard framework page as I recall from our tests).
- Errors from time to time when you edit a web page like others mention.
- Navigation does not work for anonymous users after restart of portal until an administrator has navigated through the content.
- You cannot set properties on the web page when editing the page, you only set properties for the content snippets (web forms), not the entire page. And because you search for the page, the attributes defines in the xml-file cannot be used in the search or elsewhere in the Flex UI. Actually you cannot use the properties you set on content snippet level to anything - else than giving some meta-information when editing the page.
- Plus more, but I have not been involved in it all.
We have had to make a lot of custom development because of lacking functionality, but some of that development is for sure because we use the External Facing Portal in our scenario.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Martin Søgaard

Using SAP Solution Composer

Hello,
I am using the Solution Composer for creating interactive pages which would eventually be part of our ESR on the lines of SAP's own ESR. However I've not been able to create pages the way I want them to look.
Can anybody help me accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Kumod.

Alright, let me give you some more specifics about what I am trying to do.
Using Solution composer I am trying to create HTML pages just like SAP's ESR pages. That is, the main business areas on the first page. Then on clicking on a business process, you are taken to another page listing the enterprise services available for that business process and then finally you are taken to the web service description page. This is the kind of functionality I am trying to achieve using Solution Composer. This can be easily achieved using Microsoft Frontpage, however I want to use Solution Composer for doing it.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks!
Kumod.

Use of NAS disk for project material

I intend to buy a new computer. I have used and vill continue use a 2 TB NAS disk in the system to store photos, documents and videolips. It is a Synology DS111 with Gigabit Ethernet connection.
I will use this computer for videoediting. I have used Premiere Pro 1.5 before and DV material and even if the system was not very fast it worked until now. I will purchase Adobe Premiere CS6
I intend to include a 256GB SSD as system disk(Samsung 840 or similar) and a 128 GB SSD as scratch disk.
The rest of the computer will probably be
Intel Core i7 3770K 3,5Ghz (Ivy Bridge)
2x Corsair 8GB (1x8192MB) CL10 1600MHz VENGEANCE
Asus P8Z77-V
KFA2 GeForce GTX 660Ti 2048MB OC
I do not know how Premiere Pro CS6 handles files in runtime so my question is how much the NAS disk will be involved in video editing if I have Premiere Pro installed on the system disk (SSD) and use the second SSD for scratch disk. Video clips will be on the NAS.
Can the videoediting still be fast when rendering and exporting contents except that final storage to NAS will not be lightspeed fast. Any comments on this usage are highly appreciated.
/Stefan

Stefan,
I'm not sure from your post whether your plans are to continue working solely with DV video or whether you have some plans in the future for HD formats.
In any case, I think that you would be much better served by making changes to both your hardware plans and workflow more along the lines of the following:
Single 128GB Samsung 840 Pro (don't get the std. 840, its writes are much slower) - OS/Programs; if you turn off the hibernate feature 128GB should provide plenty of space
Two 1TB 7200 rpm drives and either spread the load (projects and media on one and scratch / cache / outputs on the other) or RAID 0 them and put all files on the RAID array
Do nightly backups of media and project files to your DS111 (orgainze your directory structure so scratch, cache, and output files can be easily ignored from the backup)
This plan with give you way more speed and improved redundancy as well (as the DS111 is only a single drive unit).
With your new faster system you would probably enjoy using the local drives for photo editing work as well, especially if you go with the 2x RAID 0 array option.
Finally, you should probably increase the RAM of your new build to 32GB; what Windows 7/8 does not use for programs is does use for disk caching and that tends to speed things up for photo and video editing workflows.
Regards,
Jim

Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?

Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?
I understand they are royalty free, I am just confused about using the actual loops for films, videos, etc - if there is a special license you must purchase or what?
Yes sure, it's a library and may be used a lot - but is it legal or against agreement?
And to clarify - what about music I create on the program , that is ok right?

If you purchased the software you have the right to use the loops that came with the software in the software to make whatever you want.

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.
~reicko

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.

Flash plugin for Firefox: 2, 3 speed audio?

Hi all,
I am having problem with audio using the flash plugin for Firefox. The video
is OK but the audio seems to be played at double or triple speed, which sounds
funy.
Here is the address:
http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6052333.ht … &subj=news
Anybody else had this problem before?

its playing in the background right now and sounds fine. Motion is a little jerky but acceptable.
using the 2.6.16 kernel from testing firefox from current over a DSL line.
Is the rtc module loaded? Otherwise at a loss (as usual)
BTW, that VW system is the last thing I need in my truck. Would rather have a cup holder that works and a first gear that does not lose sync.
