Then I move the video and audio to the desired tracks and slide them over the video1 and audo1 tracks.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/split-screen-effect-ok-but-audio-track-problem#post-54566 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 10:34:34 +0000 olivaresi 54566@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks a lot. </p> <p>I'll try that and tell you if I can make it work. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/split-screen-effect-ok-but-audio-track-problem#post-54564 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 10:29:30 +0000 SargeHero 54564@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Did the audio of the videos you imported are in mono? You superimposed both picture, one in video 1 and the other on video 2, so the audio should be in Audio 1 and 2 respectively. If the audio from the videos you imported are in mono Premiere will automatically create a new audio track (Audio 4) to put the mono audio. The Audio tracks 1 to 3 are in stereo so you will need to make a new mono audio track and then you will be able to make both audio work simultaneously.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/split-screen-effect-ok-but-audio-track-problem#post-54559 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 07:19:44 +0000 olivaresi 54559@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I had a couple of .mov clips that I made with a Sony Digital Camera (extremely lo-fi). </p> <p>When I edited both videos to simulate a telephone conversation with a split screen effect I had no problem with the video track: I superimposed both images, used the crop effect and it was ok. </p> <p>But I couldn't make the same with the audio tracks. As soon as I imported both .mov clips and dragged them in the timeline, the audios went to the same track (audio 4 in this case). </p> <p>I even unliked one of the clips, but the audio stayed in the same track.  I imported again the clips but automatically the audios were assigned to the same track (again audio 4).  </p> <p>How can I solve that? </p> <p>Or is it that the split screen, or picture in picture, doesn't allow both audio tracks to work simultaneosly?</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/final-cut-advace-editing-techniques-038-plug-ins#post-46313 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:33:16 +0000 mellangestudio 46313@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Free2Film - hello there! Mellange Studio here.  We're new members to this videomaker forum. Member Robgrauert is correct.  We didn't use any plug ins of any sort.  We made several lines with transparent BG in Photoshop, saved as a png, and imported it into FCP.  Then used the motion property tools (cropping and positioning) to fine tune it.  In regards to the enhanced 3d slideshow - we used photoshop, illustrator, and after effects to create that piece.  It took some time for us to make it but the client was really happy with the final piece.  We showed it at the reception along with a same day edit and the audience really enjoyed it.  Let us know if there's any other questions.  Btw - checked out your site.  Nice layout and cool videos!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/final-cut-advace-editing-techniques-038-plug-ins#post-46165 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 23:55:48 +0000 EarlC 46165@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I appreciate your candid response.

Let me preface this by saying that I am using Corel VideoStudio Pro2 as my editor.</p> <p>First pass</p> <p>Using layers, I set up a white (or whatever color of choice, other than green, for the frame) as my primary set to full screen. Then layering green fields within the color field cropping them to give me my borders. I set them up on a time line for position and location change by changing box size, duration and such. Once I get the "frames" how I like it I then render this out. This becomes a template for the next pass.</p> <p>Second Pass</p> <p>I then pull in the rendered template as my primary and using simple chroma key, layer in my video clips. By changing my layer positions (this selects which is in front or behind the others) and clip durations (as those in front end their timeline, those behind fill in that now open space), and adjusting their sizes I end up with something that looks pretty much like the format of those you were pointing out.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/final-cut-advace-editing-techniques-038-plug-ins#post-46161 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 19:17:05 +0000 CraftersOfLight 46161@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Intersting point EarlC. </p> <p>Judging by their phone number locations I noticed Free2FilmProductions and the Mellange Studios are practically neighbors.</p> <p>F2F</p> <p>Take some time to look at the this website.

It doesn't seem to me they are using a plug-in. Looks like the editor is just layering video (often 2 or three layers of the same clip) over a white slug. It's not hard to pull off. Just use the Crop parameters in the Motion tab in FCP. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/final-cut-advace-editing-techniques-038-plug-ins#post-46137 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 11:35:13 +0000 Free2Film 46137@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&lt;p style="padding: 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;<br /> Can someone please take a quick look at this link <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mellange.com/">http://www.mellange.com</a><br /> and look at the demo weddings of Rhonda &amp; Marco Wedding,Eunice and<br /> Charles enhanced slide show and if you have a little more time,<br /> Alejandra &amp; Danny's wedding.

I was recently hired on staff at a resort hotel to be a technical assistant. This establishment hosts several different presentations each year, and wants to purchase some video equipment. The need would be for our conference room, where there are already two projectors in place. What they are looking for is the ability to run 4 fixed cameras into some sort of switcher/mixer and be able to send it to the two projectors. I am absolutley new to the world of live video, so can someone guide me as to what equipment I will need?</p> <p>Requirements:</p> <p>- We handle a four camera system.<br /> - The display on the projectors has the ability to be a split screen showing of 2 of our cameras.</p> <p>I don't have any idea what kind of gear I would need for this... I assume a video switcher/mixer. Do I need seperate gear for the split screen ability? What switcher do you recommend? Are there other components I'm not thinking of (don't worry about offending me-- again, I know NOTHING.)</p> <p>� Thanks in advance!</p> <p> EDIT: Oh, and the ability to record, while nice, isn't a priority. Audio is also not an issue. This is all for the live viewing audience, in house.</p>
