syncing audio to video
Dec 15th, 2009, 03:57
Hi all - I've just found macprovideo and am really enjoying all the tutorials - thought I'd give the forum a go with a problem that I'm having... here goes...
I'm writing music for picture in Logic 9.0.2.
I import the movie and in settings set the movie start to 00:01:28:00 which is the first frame. I then choose the correct frame rate (25fps) and sample rate (48.000) and set the position of the first bar (which is 00:01:30:00 - there's a two second gap between the first frame and when the show starts). I then import audio from movie. All good so far. The first picture syncs with the audio and I'm ready to roll. At this point I've made sure the audio track is locked to smpte.
The thing is that I want to write my second cue for the show, which starts at 00:04:53:00. So I go ahead and under synchronization set the bar position (1 1 1 1) to play at smpte 00:04:53:00.
When I then play from bar 1, the picture starts at the right point (00:04:53:00) but the audio is all out of whack - its playing audio from earlier on in the show...
Any help would be much appreciated - after two hours trying to get it right I've run out of ideas.
Thanks - Brett
