algmusic Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hey, Basically, a friend recorded a gig on his video camera for us at the ole bull and gate, kentish town. I've been given a DVD of it and I need to edit it so I can upload it to our myspace/you tube. The next thing I'd like to do, but this is just bonus, if I can take the audio from the from camera and eq it through logic, then bounce it back into a video. I hear I-Movie is good. I have no idea where to start Cheers Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do this with Windows Movie Maker. if you also have a PC Load up the video into it and save the audio as a wave file onto a memeory stick. Whack this in your mac and pull it into Logic. Once you have eq'ed and mastered to your satisfaction, 'bounce' the master into another wave file and transfer back to PC and into the movie. Just make sure you 'sync' it properly.

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEiy5X3Wf3g) is a clip from one of our gigs there. Not bad quality for something edited on the fly - but it costs you £40-£50 depending on how hard you haggle.

Golchen Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 iMovie is very easy to use. Throw the video in, turn off the sound track. Crop to the bit you want. Throw in sound file, line up with video, crop to right length. put a fade in from black (if you want) add a fade out to black (if you want) put title info at the start export to movie file I do it all the time. My iMovie isn't the latest though, it's version 6, I think that the later ones are a bit less obvious and a bit more complicated (I could be wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a play[/quote] Hi Adrian While you can try and use iMovie if you are acually happy with the footage you can just extract it from the DVD using this piece of software: [url="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14414/mactheripper"]http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14414/mactheripper[/url] It's quite straightforward but you'll need to look at the instructions, obviously , basically this will create a VOB vile, which you can then open and encode with this piece of software: [url="http://www.squared5.com/"]http://www.squared5.com/[/url] You'll need to have the Quicktime MPEG 2 component installed on your Mac, it costs about £15 but will enable you to encode your video to the right spec required by Youtube. [url="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/"]http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/[/url] Alternatively once you've created a .mov file via the MPEG Streamclip software you can import the clip into iMovie 8 and if you look on the 'Share' menu in iMovie there should be an option to upload it to Youtube. The good thing with this is it will ensure the quality doesn't dip and you can choose what qualoty you want, you can even go High Definition if you want, just follow the instructions, and make sure you uncheck the 'Set to private' box so the video will be public..... I hope all that sounds OK, it's a bit complicaed at first but essentially once you have ripped the footage from the DVD and created a .mov or mpeg file via the MPEG Streamclip software you can just upload a file to Youtube, iMovie is just the icing on the cake Hope that helps, any questions just ask Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slighty distorted, but hey.. it's camcorder mic, but I'm sure some a little tweeking will help Here is my very first youtube upload [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNjyGCfG1Nk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNjyGCfG1Nk[/url] as usual, hardly any bass, hence the need for eq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No amount of tweeking will rescue it. Bass sounds fine to me.... are you listening on a set of pc speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
