Very nice man. I have no clue on where to start making a video...as far as syncing up the video and audio? Any resource you could point us to?
@mixmkr, no problem. I do understand where you're coming from.
@Guitarhacker, thanks for watching and for your comments.
Thanks for the comments, Doncolga.
I use Sony Vegas for the editing and various 3D programmes for the titling etc.
Your onboard camera sound would be your guide to "synch" with the original soundtrack that you recorded in SONAR.
What you will find when trying to synch your shots to the original soundtrack is that the video footage will probably be a few frames "behind" the original audio. That's because the onboard camera mic is a bit further from the instrument that you're filming. It's really easy to line things up though once you get the hang of it.
The biggest pain is trying to film and record takes at the same time. Having someone to help is a massive bonus. You could also try "miming" the parts once you've recorded them but obviously you need to be spot on with everything. Nothing worse than watching a video that is badly mimed. Normally the most difficult instrument to film mimed parts are the drums. To try and expect a drummer to remember every fill is virtually impossible.
I've also installed some LED coloured lighting in the studio to help enhance the overall mood.
Making videos of your tracks can be tremendous fun and opens up a whole new world of creativity.
Cheers.
