Unfortunately VP wont expand multiple tracks much. I don't think you are doing anything particularly wrong.
Thanks i will have to study this as i have only a little knowledge, latency will this be a problem ,i do have a focusrite scarlett audio interface, and an 5 channel behringer mixer
This way you will not be distracted by a second Video track. With your main film on the sequence line this audio file can then be loaded like any other clip and dropped direct to Audio track 2 beneath Audio track 1. Load the clip you get to VP and then unlink the audio. You should now have a film of you singing and playing the melody with the chords and you can add other soundtracks in a similar way.Īn alternative (possibly a bit easier) is to film the chords playing with the camera whilst listening to the timelime on VP via earphones to keep it at the correct speed. This might mean cutting the Video track 2 clip to get the required movement. Line up the sound with Audio Track1 by sliding Audio Track 2 so the peaks match with the melody. Place the new video on the overlay track.(Video Track 2) Audio track 2 will be your chord recording.Ĭlick the "eye" icon at the left end of Video Track 2 to prevent the track outputting. (You could make an mp3 using NCH recordpad or similar) It doesn't matter what the film is like as you will only need to use the audio. Now film yourself playing the chords but listening through earphones to your first recording on VP to keep in time. For your project the most intuative way is as follows but other ways are also possible.įilm yourself singing and playing the melody notes This ought to be a new thread but as mentioned above All versions of VP are multi track. If you select a clip in the bin and then click the right hand minus you will open up a choice of positions for the clip placement and you can then move the cursor down and select one.Īs before the subsequent tracks, Video Track2 Video Track 3 etc.(the overlay tracks) are not visible or labelled until a clip has been placed into the area above the main timeline track labelled " Drag and drop your video, text and image clips here to overlay" If you select the clip in the bin and then click the left hand minusthe clip is added to the end of the timeline on Video Track 1. (And.Yes they are a bit small) You will notice top right of the screen that 5.20 is a Beta version and presumably there may be some alteration with this.) NOTE however that the Place button (next to the dustbin icon) now looks like two - signs one black and one green.
However, in this version of VP if the opening placement choices on adding a clip to the bin are not made then clips can be added later as before using the Place button. As before any clip can be selected in the bin and added to any part of the timeline by drag and drop just as before. If this is ignored the clip will simply remain in the bin as before. In version 5.20, on adding a new clip to the bin you will be presented with a choice of positions for clip placement.
Placing clips on the extra tracks is now however a little different. The latest version of VP (5.20) is no different in this respect to previous versions in that it will handle multiple video and audio tracks.
