Video recording

Sign in to disble this ad
I recorded a video of me playing bass to a song earlier. I used Windows Movie Maker, which allowed me to capture the video from my webcam and the audio from my Toneport, meaning that I had the video of my playing, with the bass part as audio. I then imported the original track that I played along to, and balanced the sound levels to how I wanted them. However, for some reason, the video ended up slightly shorter than the song, meaning that I could place the song so that everything was in time at one place, but then as the song went on, it got more and more out of time, until by the end everything was a beat out.

The program also seemed to record the video in lots of little parts which I then had to put together in the time bar. I think that this might be the source of the problem, as I think that time is lost in between the parts - so that every time it moves onto a new part, the bass part gets slightly ahead because the section of video is a fraction of a second too short.

Does anyone know why it records the video like this, and is there anything that I can do to stop it doing it? Alternatively, is there another free program that will allow me to do the same thing without being rubbish?

Problem solved - I converted the mp3 file to wma, and it now seems to fit perfectly.

Mods can delete or close this or whatever if you want to.
