When you import audio into a video project, what format(s) do you prefer?</p> <p>Typical project: eg. wedding video, corporate presentation, etc.<br />Audio content: eg. music, voice, sound FX, etc.<br />File type: eg. WAV / AIF / MP3, etc.<br />Sample rate: eg. 44.1khz, 48khz, etc.<br />Channels: eg. Mono / Stereo / Surround, etc.<br />Resolution: eg. 8-bit, 16-bit, etc.</p> <p>Obviously, this varies hugely from project to project. So, consider the question for the most regular type of video work you do - a 'typical' project.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hassle-free-royalty-free-music-licensing#post-61287 Wed, 04 Aug 2010 18:58:24 +0000 worldstagemusic 61287@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> </p> <p>Today is August 4/10, and I just wanted to let you know that I've completely changed my website.</p> <p>I am now selling my royalty-free music as one 21-track collection (.zip file) priced at only...wait for it...$19.95 USD!</p> <p>The songs are now in WAV file format, which I am told is much easier to work with</p> <p>in video editing programs.</p> <p>Full demos on the site ( <a href="http://www.worldstagemusic.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldstagemusic.net</a> ).</p> <p> </p> <p>I can't say for how much longer I will be able to offer anything, as Internet hosting fees are starting to get me, and I may have to take my site down altogether soon enough.</p> <p>So come take advantage of my situation, while my site still exists. </p> <p>Even though it's hard to tell honesty from a slick ploy on the Internet, I assure you it's the truth. I can't make you believe me. </p> <p>In any case, 21 tracks of music that you can use forever, for $19.95, is far from being a rip-off. If my site keeps going past October, it will be due to your kind purchases and your help in spreading the word. Or some other miracle!</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Sean C.</p> <p><a href="http://www.worldstagemusic.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldstagemusic.net</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hassle-free-royalty-free-music-licensing#post-59968 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 14:29:31 +0000 worldstagemusic 59968@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Oh heck! I forgot to answer pseudosafari's other question:</p> <p>The piano on those tracks is from a Jv-80 synth.

I just have to learn some more about html programming to fix that, I suppose. Now I'll paraphrase Dr. McCoy from Star Trek: "I'm a composer, Jim, not a programmer!"</p> <p> </p> <p>@EarlC - I sincerely appreciate your encouragement. I've added a few more tunes/categories, though of course the song selection is small:</p> <p>I've added a "Folk Latin" category, but I'd like to mention my "Belly Dancing" category, only because it has a song I'm proud of, because it's a mix of Urban Pop with spice exotic elements. Hope you'll check it out! The song is called "Secrets of the Far East".</p> <p>Oh, and I can't leave without mentioning another song called "Cabin Party" in the Pop section, which is like a Motown/B52s inspired thing.</p> <p>I'm starting to think that perhaps I should ask people to join a mailing list so I can tell them about new songs/categories as I add them...what do you think?</p> <p> </p> <p>All the best,</p> <p>Sean C.</p> <p><a href="http://www.worldstagemusic.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldstagemusic.net</a></p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hassle-free-royalty-free-music-licensing#post-58806 Thu, 20 May 2010 15:32:30 +0000 EarlC 58806@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Interesting initial offerings.

I've seen plenty of topics on the web about issues with mpeg files or ac3 audio, but none about this problem:</p> <p> If the video I import is .wmv (i.e. wma audio), I have no problems. However, I want to use some .avi files I have. The avi files use xvid/mp3 for the video and audio. When I import them into premier, they import as 'video' (video stream only) instead of 'movie' (video AND audio stream). Like I said, wmv files have no problem (import as 'movie'). When I check the properties for the avi files inside premier, it shows that they have a video track and an audio track, but premier seems to ignore it. Importing an mp3 file works fine, too, so it's not the codec or anything (I have <a title="CCCP" href="http://www.cccp-project.net/">CCCP</a> installed). Now obviously I could convert the files to wmv and I'd have no problems, but I don't see a reason to do so since I personally prefer xvid-avi and I don't really want to have two copies of the same file (I have the avi files archived for my use).</p> <p>Does premier 2 not support mp3 audio streams in video clips, or is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong or...?</p> <p>System: Windows 7 64-bit beta1, 2GB RAM, core2 duo E4500 (2.2GHz), geforce 8800GTS 320MB, ONLY Premier Pro 2.0 and After Effects were installed from CS2.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mp3-file-converter#post-40874 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 10:54:06 +0000 brandon0409 40874@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <blockquote><p><strong>Thank you Brandon!! On my other post with your answer I thanked you all over the place!!

Barbara</strong></p></blockquote> <p>Before I answer, let me make sure of a couple things:</p> <p>1. Are you exporting a video in MPEG4 then putting that into the conversion software?<br /> 2. Or are you exporting just the audio line of the video as some random audio format like PCM,WAV,etc?</p> <p>In answer to your question regarding all of your MP3 icons changing to Windows Media...</p> <p>Just follow these instructions to change it back to what ever it was before.</p> <p>Open a folder<br /> -&gt; Click "TOOLS"<br /> -&gt; Click "FOLDER OPTIONS"<br /> -&gt; Click "FILE TYPE" tab<br /> -&gt; Scroll down the list till you see MP3.<br /> -&gt; Hightlight it and click change (to change the program associated with that file type).<br /> -&gt; Then click okay and that's pretty much it.</p> <p>Regarding the 30 day trial...</p> <p>The audio file conversion still works after the 30 day as do most of the basic normal functions.  Since I think you are converting a video file to extract the audio, I'm not sure about that functionality.  I've never tried that before.</p> <p>THe advanced features cease to workafter the 30 days.  But I'm not sure if that is considered an advanced feature.</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mp3-file-converter#post-40867 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 03:54:19 +0000 barbaralaketahoe 40867@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><strong>Thank you Brandon!!
