Re: [CinCV] Help syncing sound to video
Hello, A simple and dirty trick: Edit the sound track, and put claps in the instances where you want a switch. Or clap hands in the beginning of each bar (if it's a rhytmic song, the drums do that job for you). It takes a little work to prepare this, but after this is completed, your work is easier and more accurate than any other solution. Hand claps and drums are easy to spot visually in the track's graphical display, and allow perfect timing matches with picture. Note that you can safely replace the source sound file ("asset") with the edited one (on the hard disk) for this purpose, and return the original back for final rendering (but make sure they are identical in length and format). Good luck, Eli Dan Hibiki wrote: Hi, I've just started recently getting into editing using Cinelerra over the past couple of weeks. I've read most of the simple tutorials and I've searched around the mailing list archives so sorry if this has an obvious answer. I'm trying to edit together a music video and the problem I'm having is I can't figure out a reliable way to accurately sync clips up with the sound. For example a certain instrument plays I might want a clip to start playing at that exact frame. Last time I did any video editing was in an old version of Adobe Premiere where I was able to accomplish this mainly by dragging the timeline cursor around, as sound would play as you did this even if you only moved forward a single frame. Doing that, I could pinpoint the exact moment I was looking for in the audio and drop the clip in or just watch the video playback and see if everything was happening in sync. In Cinelerra however if I press the button that moves the playback one frame forward no sound is played. As for using the waveform graphic, it's not very useful for what I need. So does anyone have any suggestions? For example, is there a way to control playback speed and just have the preview run in slow motion? I could export pieces and preview them in mplayer since that has slow motion playback but that would be tedious. -- Web: http://www.billauer.co.il
[CinCV] sound/ video synchronisation
Hi, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to video editing, but like to learn it. I have a problem. A friend of mine has made a dvd which contains a talk/ presentation. But the sound and video are not equal in that part. The sound comes later... This are the files on the dvd: /media/cdrom0/ULEADDMF/ULEAD_ARCHIVE /media/cdrom0/ULEADDMF/06_OneS11_W.ufo /media/cdrom0/ULEADDMF/AU_00_00.mp3 /media/cdrom0/ULEADDMF/DMF_ON_DISC.dwz /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.BUP /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.IFO /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.VOB /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_3.VOB /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_4.VOB /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_5.VOB This ones should be edited: /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.VOB Is the problem clear?

The problem turned out to be the ALSA playback audio driver. When I switched back to OSS (I think) the problem vanished altogether. Try changing your playback audio driver and see if that helps.

Re: [CinCV] Help syncing sound to video
Yes I remember I missed that feature too sometimes, in FinalCut one can actually hear those 40 milliseconds of sound when just one frame is played. It makes a lot of sense. In cinelerra, I have learned to help myself by an iterative procedure: place a label close to the sound where you want to start the clip, and then play back from the label to hear how close it is. it is not always easy to hit exactly the right point, but by correcting the label position several times, one can get fairly accurate. Hope this helps... Cheers, Georg On Monday 01 December 2008 08:17:35 Dan Hibiki wrote: > Hi, I've just started recently getting into editing using Cinelerra over > the past couple of weeks.

Are you able to download the source from the git repository and compile cinelerra by yourself?
