rokq22: Great original post.

I am wondering the SAME thing: How to publish a video of my making featuring a song of my making and sychronizing the video appropriately.

Synch is the big issue with me...I don't have the foggiest idea how to do it, or what tools to utilize.

I'm hoping someone will enlighten us!

Personally, I have played with Windows Movie Maker, but only with "slides" and or course video that has a song playing over it (no synch required in that case...you know like kids running in the yard etc).

But...again to synch a song to any event (be it vocals, playing an instrument...whatever)---I'm clueless.

I'm hoping to get a handle on that...it sure would be fun!

Please...

We shall wait (and I'll be checking this thread often)...and see.


Please, start a topic about SYNCING AS I would be interested in reading the responses on that!!
I did a Google and came up with this which should be of help:

https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp...=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=4592eda312cd495&biw=1440&bih=758&bs=1

I probably would have asked the question myself when the time came but I'm not there yet but I know that videos that aren't synched don't look too good. Especially when playing live.

P.S. Oh, as per my original post, have to ask you. How are YOU going to do the performance? I think the best way (I JUST decided!!) is to to simply record the guitar (as an additional track) and also the vocals while filming. It's either that or I'd have to FAKE the playing while singing./ OR just play the backing tracks OR play the backing tracks through the computer speakers and play/sing live while filming (which is how I've been doing it all this time before deciding to record via the computer).

Folks, if this seems confusing it's because I'm having a hard to putting it into words. Or just making a mountain out of a molehill. But it's basically just a head-trip. FLAN, we know, of course, that there is no synch issue if one was to film them self playing/singing to the backing tracks they've previously recorded as the sound would be captured as they were performing. Frankly, I might be leaning that way again. My ZOOM Q3 has a couple very good built-in mics (the reason I bought it to begin with!). I could get the songs 95% done on the computer then play them back and add the guitar and vocals while filming. The issue, of course, is if the audio is uploaded separately from the VIDEO. I just don't know what to do. And the SYNCH issue is yet another problem I'd probably have to contend with.
