splitting and aligning audio-video

CTJ wrote on 8/2/2005, 12:02 PM
What is the best...most efficient way to do this sequence:

I import my large avi file into v5 timeline...i open another instance of v5 to import my splived video clip from the first instance.

Now, after I make my splice on the original avi...which it plits at the video level (track 1) and at the audio level (track 2).

When I go to copy and paste the spliced video-audio into my new instance of v5, I am able to only pull video and only one at a time thus presenting me with the challenge of lining the video and audio back up or in sync in the new instance which has posed a challenge. Is there an easier way to keep or line audio-video up in the new timeline?

Thanks,

Why use 2 instances? Just delete the pieces you don't wish to keep off the timeline and you'll have all the pieces you DO want to keep left on the timeline and the A/V will be in sync.

...sorry I failed to mention the video is from a two camera shoot, e.g. wedding....shooting going down the aisle on one camera then shoot another camera facing the entrants...thus merging, i.e. splicing. Please advise.

...the video is from a two camera shoot...

In that case, grab jetdv's newsletter, specifically Vol. 1 Issue # 9 for the article "Editing Multi-Cam Events". Grab the rest of them while you're there as they're a valuable resource.

Thanks Mike for the reference, it's exactly what I needed; I wasn't aware of compositing envelopes, or even Ctrl-A for that matter for all track select..

superb article by Ed Troxel ... thanks much ... In fact Ed's articles are so good I just downloaded all the pdfs... excellent tutorial resources, thanks very much.

...how can/do you download all the pds at one time?

There's currently 25 of them. As mentioned, the standard method would be to simply download them one at a time.

Out of curiosity, I just zipped them. The zip file is over 19 Meg (unzipped is almost 29 Meg).

I'll temporarily post the zip file but I'll need to watch my bandwidth so it may disappear after a while.
