Using Slip Edit tool on video and linked audio

Am not able to do a slip edit on a video clip that has a linked audio track w/o the two falling out of sync. After doing a slip edit on the video I have to go back and do a slip edit on the audio track separately, even though it is marked as linked, in order to re-align it w/ the video. Shouldn't I be able to do one slip edit on both the video and audio tracks at the same time and keep them in sync?

I understand that they're linked. If they're underlined they're linked. Linked selection is different. It's the behavior that controls what happens when you select a clip in the timeline. Check the linked selection button in the upper right of the timeline or check the Edit menu or use Shift-L.

An Idea of What Techniques Were Used in Editing This Music Video?

hi forum,
im a music producer from japan, who has recently gotten into video editing/production.
i just wanted to ask if anyone could shed some light on the techniques that were used in editing the following video:
i know the song is horrible, but i love the animation, which i assume is a combination of photoshop and after effects?
does anyone have a basic idea of what is being done? im not looking for specific tutorials, just some insight on what direction i should head in if i want to create something similiar.
anyway, thanks for reading, looking forward to any replies!

Lots of vector art and lots of 3D tracking to get things to line up and look like they are part of the scene. You can do the same thing with Mocha and corner pin tracking but it's much easier with a real 3d tracker like Camera Tracker or SynthEyes

Re post: Editing-- Insert video and move audio, preserving sync

Forgive me, a newbie, for posting this twice, but I think the iM6 group folks, not the iM8 folks, may have the a clue about this issue.
I really love iM6. I do have FCExp, but I've gotten so comfortable with iM6 that I hate to change. But I am frustrated by one thing.
I may be trying to do something too advanced for iMovie (6HD) but almost everything else with this product is so amazing, I can't imagine that they didn't build this in. I must be overlooking something.
I am making dvds from a VHS conversion of some 60-70s 8mm home movies. A labor of love for an aging parent. The amateur filmmaker used to project them with records playing, and at some point he collected all his chosen LP music onto a cassette (not on the video cassette, a music only cassette). So, I play the VHS and the music at the same time and use an analog to Firewire converter and load all into iM6. So far so good. Then, because I need to seriously mess with the music to put it more or less in sync with the video segments, I extract the audio so it now shows up as a second track. Still no problem. Now in editing I clip or split the audio into separate pieces and checkerboard them, alternating between the two audio tracks in the timeline so I can adjust volumes, cross fade, etc.
The first volume I did took a lot of twiddling and tweaking to keep all the clips in their proper places. I'd work at the end of the piece, then at the beginning then back to the end with the result that the audio clips were always sliding out of position. I can't quite figure out how to keep two audio tracks in sync with the video. BUT I did finally finish and when I started the next one, I swore that I'd always finish a segment and then move on to the next, always left to right, never tweaking the finished stuff to the left (earlier on the time line). This has made the job much easier but I have one big problem now. I did not think to put some black at the head of the project to put the titles on!
You'd think I could just put the cursor at 0:00 and insert a 6 second title over black and it would move all the video and audio to the right by six seconds. But what happens is only the video slides over. The two audio tracks don't move and are now six seconds early. Sure, I could go ahead and re-adjust all the 30 or 40 audio clips, but I can't help thinking that "Apple wouldn't make me do this..."
Has anyone any idea how to lock all the edited material together so I could insert some space to the left without losing sync?
PS does anyone share my frustration on THIS: when I copy a little piece of sound from one of those tracks and then paste the copy, there's no telling where it will land... It never goes to the cursor position. If I'm lucky it lands somewhere on the timeline after the project end and I can drag it back to where I want it. But on an hour project this is annoying.

I think I solved my own problem, and Klaus, you were correct, Lock to Play head is the key.
In order to select ALL the clips on both tracks you click and drag a box across all the clips you want to lock and then select Advanced/Lock Audio Clip at Playhead and all the clips will be locked to their video positions, though in my case only a few of them sprouted little yellow pushpins. I was then able to slug 6 seconds of Black in ahead of my video, and voila!, both video and attached audio moved over staying in sync. I knew Apple wouldn't let me down, though the answer was not explicit in any Apple documentation. I guess I'd better buy the book now.

Slip Editing Tool!

A few days ago there was a thread about a missing "Slip Editing Tool" in Logic.
You can actually use a slip editing tool in Logic, here's how it works:
Lock your Audio Region to SMPTE position (use the key command). Then with your mouse, act just like if you were adjusting the lower left corner.
That will slip the Audio inside the Region.
Cheers.

The same thing can be achieved by using Shuffle L mode. The disadvantage to either of these methods is that the region becomes shorter.

How come I cannot use the Editing tools when i am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC It wants me to Buy Now. But when I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC i have no problem using the Editing tool yet I had Adoboe Acrobat XI Pro then it was upgraded to this DC stuff

Question mark on quicktime videos and links

Question mark on quicktime videos and links. Anyone have a clue about this one

That video presentation is great for Mac OS, but not
XP. Doesn`t happen on all sites, so is the problem my
end or the other?
What is exactly your problem?
If you see a question when you visit a site where a QuickTime movie is embedded, there are possibilities. One is that there is a link made to the QuickTime, and QuickTime cannot access it. The second possibility which most people have is that you don't have an appropriate decoder for the QuickTime video. I only responded to the first case. And the second case is discussed several times a day.

Pick only video and not audio to edit in timeline

How can I only move the video and not audio to the timeline when I pick a clip I want?
Everytime I drag it to the timeline it brings the audio and video and I have to unlink it and then delete the audio.

Disconnect the audio in the patch panel at the left end of the Timeline window. Click the a1 and a2 source tabs to disconnect them from their destination tracks (A1 and A2 by default).

How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.
thanks, ralph

Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!

Hi Ralph:
You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
and split it after you split the video and be sure to
keep the playhead in the same position.

Scrambled Video and Static Audio

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with a project I'm working on. I was doing a final run-through check of the video..so far so good. When I exported the project though and scrubbed through the final .mov, a lot of the video was scrambled and the audio has static at what appear to be random intervals in the video. I checked the project back in Final Cut Pro (version 6 by the way) and noticed that the video had indeed become scrambled and full of static. I can say for certain that the video was not like this when I edited it. So, I decided to look back at the source video in the capture scratch folder, and sure enough, for some odd reason, I had the same result. At random intervals of multiple soruces, there was scrambled video and the audio became full of static.
I thought maybe there was a problem with the external hard drive I had stored the media on. So I used Techtool Pro and performed every test I could throw at it, and the drive passed.
I can't figure out what caused this problem or how to fix it. Anyone have a clue?

I've had this problem myself, and unfortunately never found a solution except for recapturing the footage and reconnecting media. But perhaps someone else will chime in.

New Media Encoder Error: video and/or audio filters are missing...

My colleague reported this error popup window while using Adobe Media Encoder CC (up-to-date):
"video and/or audio filters are missing and the rendered output may not match the original"
I've been seeing similar errors the past few days. I can't remember if the wording was the same in the errors I saw, but the circumstances were the same.
I've never seen this popup error before the most recent CC update.
Some background info:
I queued up multiple Premiere Pro pproj files as usual from within Premiere
without rebooting or deleting any cache or temp files or anything, I start the queue
I have no special plugins installed in Premiere. Vanilla CC install.
Windows 7, 64-bit
This error doesn't tell me what audio/video filter(s) are missing. The output files, once I dismiss this warning, are perfect.
The major problem: It stops the queue dead in it's tracks. Sure, it might seem handy to stop and give you a warning, but when it's a false report and there's nothing wrong, it's killing us, because we queue up multiple files for encoding overnight, and we're not here to get the popups.
What is likely causing this? Is it a bug that this is appearing so frequently? Has anyone else experienced this besides my colleague and I?
Thanks!

Update for anyone experiencing this issue:
We are still investigating the cause of the issue and would really like your help tracking it down. If you run in to it I would be happy to jump on the phone with you and preferably do a screenshare as well. If you want to run some tests for me, this is what may help us track it down:
0. Please make sure you are updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro and AME, which at this time are Premiere Pro 7.2.1 and AME 7.2.
1. Simplify the project. Create a copy of the project and eliminate anything in the project that isn't related to the sequence(s) you are exporting. Then run the encode again. If it still occurs, move to the next step. If it doesn't occur any more, repeat step one and only remove half of the unused items (sorry, this is giong to be a manual process). Rinse, repeat.
2. Open your sequence in Premiere and press Cmd/Ctrl + A to select all clips in your sequence. Right click and select Remove All Effects. Export again. No repro? Go to step 4. If it still repros, go to step 4.
3. Make all the media offline. Export again. No repro? Go to step 4. Repro? Go to step 5.
4. Send me a message with as much detail as possible. Even better would be if you could provide me a copy of your project file.
Your help in tracking this issue down is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

WMV3Server plays avi files containing WMV3/9 video and MP3 audio

WMV3Server
To play avi files with WMV3/9 video and MP3 audio encoding on Mac OS X as of 2005-01-24 you will need:
Mac OS X 10.2 or later
WMV3Server
Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X
An .avi file containing WMV3 video and MP3 audio.
Instructions:
Launch the WMV3Server java application and click the "Open" button.
A standard open-dialog window appears. Either navigate to the avi video file or drag the file into the open window to have the window switch to the folder that contains the avi video file. Select the file and click the "Open" button or press return on the keyboard. The open-dialog window should close.
Next, click the "Start" button. The movie will be cached and WMV3Server will display "Server Started"
Open Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X. Pull down the "File" menu on the menu bar at the top of the screen and select "Open URL..." Enter the following address:
mmst://localhost:1755/
Windows Media Player should connect, buffer and play.

http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bay/8128/
The download link is:
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bay/8128/WMV3Server-0.4.zip

Update: By playing around with the settings in the Default Applications preference pane (a free download) I somehow got the files to open automatically in QuickTime Player (with Flip4Mac WMV 2.0.1 installed) and they now play (instead of showing white video as they had previously. Unfortunately, I don't recall what I changed.
Here's a sample file (apparently a beer commercial.):

Saved project only produces video and no audio

I created a simple project with ony one AVI file. I applied a single effect -- rotating the video from the portrait mode in which it was shot to landscape mode. When I play the project in Premiere Elements v. 9 there is audio as well as video. But when I export the project to an MPG or AVI file there is only video and no audio. What could be the problem?

>should not require its users to dig into the esoterica of codecs
Just as soon as you convince every camera vendor in the world to create video that uses only one codec, at only one set of parameters, you will be able to use software that works exactly the same for all files
Until then... you really do need to know what you have so you may tell the software what to do with what you have
You can't shove a slice of bread into a DVD player, and you can't put a DVD in a toaster (unless you want a mess in either case)
>Multiplexing was already set for DVD
In that case, you are getting exactly what you requested... a video file with no audio, and a separate audio file

I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.

I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.
I upgraded to iMovie 11 because the previous version wouldn't read the type of video I was importing (VOB). The video imports but not the audio, what do I do?

What are you capturing from? You may not hear the auido as it's captured but it will be there. After it's captured can you see the audio waveforms? Do the audio meters move when you play the clip? If so then go to "View" then "Audio Playback" and set it to 'Built-in Output" if you're monitoring audio through the computer.
