Synching recorded audio and video

Post by Faceless »

Forum,


I've been searching for this topic, haven't found it any where.

When you guys record your live mixes how are you synching it to the audio?

I've started using this program for music videos and need to synch the audio I dragged into the composition with the video that is playing.

Thank you

Just activate "record audio" in the preferences.
Be careful: Resolume only records audio that is processed by the software itself.

Right.

I understand that but it records it as a movie file and then as a sound file, when I throw them into an editing system they unsynch and my beats don't match.


Are you using Final Cut Pro or Premiere or anything to match the audio the sound in order to upload to youtube or something

I have the same issue when recording clips, the video file timeline is always shorter than the audio file timeline. When this happens, I have to timestretch the video to the length of the audio in Sony Vegas to fix it but I would rather not have to do this and have the bug fixed :)

same thing here, it's not syncronized (using premiere)...

May be it is related in a specific format we have to change when we integrated the video & sound in the premiere project (or any video soft editing) ?

Hey guys

In regards to recording framerate, Bart mentioned this earlier:
Resolume will try to make the recording at 25fps but when it can't keep up, frames will be dropped and the resulting video will indeed come out shorter. Quicktime actually allows for variable framerates and this is what we're using to try and compensate this but the effect of dropped frames will always be noticable.

For a better recording you should try to record to a different (preferably fast 10.000 rpm or SSD) drive than the drive you are reading the video files from. Or lower the resolution of the composition.
