ratbagradio Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have reviewed the excellent discussion on Using minidisc for video productionhttp://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showt...=11869&st=0I intend to use a rig with a monopod: digital camera on top (trekking pole with camera attached with a Ultrapod)and a minidisc microphone strapped further down the pole.This setup seems very mobile to me and it main failing is that i won't have a pan left and right lever to spin the pole on its axis.But I have a couple of questions -- musings really:Would that be a reasonable location for mic pickup? At least I wont get camera hand noise. So long as I supported the monopod I can get both voideo and audio with the one tool.When I want to mark my shot for later syncing is it reasonable to replace the clapper board (or a simple hand clap) with a finger snap made with one hand placed in front of the lens ? Thats' all I'd have you see: one hand. Are there other options I don't know about -- tricks I can use to mark the video with sound cues and the audio with video ones?In post production editing-- I use Audacity -- are there any syncing tricks worth knowing? I video edit with Movie Maker and indulge in the free software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 well your digicam will also have sound as well so the finger snap , placed equidistant from either will give a good reference for locking the tracks ( if your in Windows , Whatever Video prog your using should allow you to move a track ) If your in Mac , then iMovie of iLife 07 will let you do that , I think iMovie 08 got dumbed down I havent tried it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) Won't there be issues with 48HHz vs 44.1KHz? Or am I mistaken...? Edited August 17, 2008 by raintheory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Won't there be issues with 48HHz vs 44.1KHz? Or am I mistaken...?That is why he mentioned the finger snaps , using them to time stretch or move one track to match the other , then keep the one that sounds best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
