Hi! I am new to this forum, so thank you in advance to people who take the time to read my post or respond with advice. = )
<meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"><title></title><meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"><title></title>Allow me to try and explain what I intend to do. I will own a Sony camcorder soon, (30 gig Hard drive type). I am a musician. I intend to play and sing over stuff I have already multitracked and mixed in Logic Pro 7.
My live performance, over the top of that, I intend to capture with the Sony camcorder.
Then, of course, I will (or attempt to anyway) use iMovie to capture that video from the Sony camera.
Now, I will have an audio version from the Sony's microphone of all parts: the pre recorded stuff coming from my speakers, and the stuff I perform live.
But, as I will be recording as I do this to Logic, I am sure the audio from Logic will be much better. I would either mix the two, or mute the Sony's audio completely and just use the Logic 7 audio. This would be a stereo file, mixed down from Logic, in standard audio format. Something iMovie would certainly understand.
I know that the audio i record to Logic and the Sony won't be synced (one doesn't know the other exists), but using my ears and eye, it is possible to line them up, right? I don't need down to the sample accuracy as one would when film scoring, just the ability to line up: nudge the audio in iMovie back and forth until I am satisfied with the sync.
I look forward to your response. Thank you!
P.S. I have not purchased the camcorder just yet, and a JVC or Panasonic camcorder is also an option, if Sony is incompatible with Mac. All I need though, is for iMovie to recognize and capture it. Of course Sony's software that comes with the camera won't worn on Mac. (I'm used to being a Mac person in a PCcentric world) If iMovie can capture the video, then I think that will be enough
I am a Mac user, OS 10.4.7. My version of iMovie is iLife 04, but iLife '06 is on its way.
