Guide To Making Good Videos?, I'm not getting the results I need.... Options

[jer]

Is there one posted here somewhere?

I have the Logitech Pro9000. I'm just not getting a high enough frame rate to stay sync'd with music. If its not at 30fps it starts jumping ahead of the music after a few seconds....

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I found the shutter speed and aperature settings. I have adjusted them. I'm going to add more light to the room now. So if you see me playing with shades on thats why....

Seems I'm stuck at 320x240 to get anything close to sync'd up right....

Like this.

At least the video and audio are staying together..... But now I want to be able to up the quality....

Maybe I should use my miniDV cam as a webcam... Its got Firewire.

I got the Logitech quickcam 9000 and i dont have any problems with this except on my latest video but that was because i had a lot of programs running and my computer was slow....

Some more light could do the trick but i cant be sure

Record audio in your DAW while you film.
Then you use some video editing software to align audio and video.
Of course you'll get better video quality with a "real" camera, you can film and then export to pc so you dont need to connect camera to pc when recording.

This is actually a problem a few of us here are having with the pro9000..audio and video runs out of sync even when recorded seperately and aligned at the beginning..i have no solution to this yet- i'd go with the miniDV mate.

Yeah you should definitely , miniDV cam will give you great results..Connect it through Firewire , fire up the video recording software and go to capture mode , fire up the audio recording software..Hit 2 record buttons and shot the video..
Next you should take the audio from the audio software and align it to the video in the video editing software..
Also some (rare) miniDV cams have Mic input, so you can make a good audio mix and connect it to the cam so you don't need to do syncing afterward and have everything on tape..
MiniDV cam should give you much better results, just makes sure you have enough lighting in the room.

Cheers

Sounds really good to me jer. You definately could use some light tho.

I definitely recommend that you use your miniDV cam as your camera for PC. Wetter you need it for webcam apps, or guitar recordings, it's the way to go. Try it - the results are much much better than with any webcam.

DV cam it is then.

I tried this once but I couldnt get it to work. I was using skype. I couldnt get the image I was seeing to be the one from the dv cam.


Hmm....

I'll keep at it.

Thanks for the tips!!!!
