I would assume you are using more than one camera if you are taking shots of different instruments all in one take. Unless they are all the same make and model of camera, the sync from audio to video may be different from camera to camera. A visual cue such as a strobe may be a better tool for syncing. Also pay attention to frame rate, though I would guess that if you are happy with things once they are synced this is ok. Different frame rates would of course make sync wander from one end of a video to the other. I expect that on a very long video you would loose sync towards the end anyway as your cameras are not running from a master clock. In TV broadcast situations all video sources get their sync from one master clock through the same length of cable round trip to the switcher, this includes cameras, VCRs, telecine, and titling/animation. Off site video is framestored so it can be synced to station... kind of like resampling. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
