Time-Lapse Video Help?




Paisley


My professor video taped a presentation I did on her video camera but she recorded it as a time-lapse video. Is there any way this could be fixed? I was hoping to keep this video since it was part of my year long project. Thanks for the help!


Answer
Unless the time lapse was actually fast forward, no. If it was a time lapse mode she recorded in, then her camera took one frame every x number of seconds and it plays back at the normal speed of say 30 frames per second. Any information that took place between each frame is lost for good.

It's like taking a before and after shot with nothing documenting the in- bweeen steps.

how do you record good quality sound from hd video camera?

it is a live event and I have full access to video rights ,the sound and the p.a system.


Answer
In this case, get a Digital Audio Recorder and the cable needed to hook this to the PA system. Record the audio separately, this venue probably has better audio capture hardware, make use of it. Then mix audio in post on your NLE timeline. Then be a roving camera operator, does not matter what sounds you capture, if you have a good enough NLE, lock down this audio from camcorder as a separate file and use it as room noise. Be better and beg, borrow some body to help you, use two or three camcorders and make a good presentation in the end, no ne needs to worry what sound they are capturing, only the video image.

When using a device to capture audio that is not your camcorder, use this tip to be able to SYNC your audio and video together once both are put on a timeline for video editing purposes. Standing close to Microphone, in front of your camcorder, with both recording devices recording the video and audio, CLAP, LOUDLY. Now so long as the recorders stay recording, you have a sync point so when you get back to the computer, it is much easier to sync the audio and video together.

Most of all, have fun.
