GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Video's
Posted by: lcsdds Nov 15 2008, 04:57 PM
I was wondering and instructor's could shed some light on something for me. When you make your video's for your lessons do you go back and "fix" the audio if you mess up or are you guys just that good that you never make mistakes. Also, do you ever just record the audio first and then "lip sync" with your guitar after the audio is done? I have been trying to record some videos lately and can't get a clean take to save my life 
Something about that Damn red light that goes on when I hit the record button turns my fingers to mush 
Thanks for any insight!!

Well no , I record takes directly while having video and audio recorded simultaneously...If I mess up (and that of course happens from time to time) ,I just record it again once its perfect 
I feel that recording audio in advance can be a little "cheating"

I record audio directly too.
What you don't see are the many wrong takes that I delete at editing. :-)

Yes sometimes I can't get recording first time without mistakes.
So I would go for another recording.

Haha, I have an extreme case of "Red Light Syndrome" as well, as Smells calls it

You should always record audio and video in realtime,together.
Simply because you're hands will not do the same thing twice
100% the same and it'll be visible more or less.

When i record video i either use the mice on my webcam and record both audio and video at the same time. Or i record the sound in reaper and the i as you call it lip sync when recording the video and the i try to sync video and audio in windovs movie maker......
If i want good audio quality i use the second option and the first one i use for educationall prouse to look at what i am playing
Thats how i do it.....

To be honnest, I'm just an actor.
I pretend to play on the video, then send it to real musicaisn who take care of the audio...

I make some mistakes, depending if I just improvise or prepare the lesson. When I prepare the lesson main sequence in advance I rarely make big mistakes. So the answer might be preparing what you are going to play in advance, or if you just can't play it, than just play slower but with more precision.

That's true
I record together (both video and audio) to one video file, then export the audio, add the backing and re-attach it back to video.

Sometimes i play live and sometimes i'm not too pleased with the results after filming so i end up using the original audiotrack instead.
I did this with the full Canon Rock lesson mainly because i didnt want to end up doing an error or two error after filming for 4 minutes

Understandable

I can say what would definitely make them better, if I could watch them (the new video format).
They won't run on my 5 year old lap top. No matter what I do, even from a clean boot. These are the only videos I have ever NOT been able to run on my lap top. That tells me that I am not unreasonable, in feeling this should not happen. I really don't want to buy a new laptop for this reason, as I have no other reason to want a new one until this one breaks. I think Kris is going to be surprised how many older computers people are still using. The problem may be the high resolution of the video, which is nice, but that may be the issue.
As a programmer, I would have given people an option of the old format, or the new format, a very easy thing to do in a programing sense, and one that would be transparent to you as you install lessons, and would not have caused any significant expense to Kris (if any at all).

What do you mean you can't run them ? They don't display at all or what ? Try installing newest adobe flash player : http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
Also try clicking down on to the new players interface (where controls are) with your right mouse click and choosing : quality > low .That should really improve the performance (and it won't affect the videos quality just the players look).
