Open XeditingTV to edit video files non-destructively.
Right click on the song and choose XeditingTV.
XeditingTV shows the waveform of the audio from the video file (in orange), and the waveform of the audio file (in green).
The display shows the total duration of the video, the duration of the video after editing, the duration of the intro and any differences in duration between the video and the audio.
|
Edit the video so that its duration is equal to that of the audio. |
If the video is shorter, the display shows the difference in duration in red. The excess audio is highlighted in red on the video waveform.
If the video is longer, the display shows the difference in duration in green. In this case the video is cut when the song played by Xautomation ends.
Use the Play 
and Stop 
buttons to start or stop the playback of the song. Click on the waveforms to listen to the song from the click point.
Click on the Frame button to save a frame of the video to disk when the playback is started.
The frame is used as a preview in the XautoTV playlist.
Click Markers and disable the Lock markers button to edit the markers.
This way you can drag the editing markers directly onto the video waveform.
The IN marker indicates the starting position of the video. Move the IN marker on the video to move the beginning of the audio.
The INTRO marker indicates the position where the title graphics are shown. Move the video INTRO marker to the desired position.
The MIX marker indicates the beginning of the fade with the next video. The OUT marker indicates the end of the video. Move the video MIX and OUT markers to the audio MIX and OUT markers.
|
To position the markers more precisely, you can zoom in on the waveforms by resizing the scrollbar or using the mouse wheel. |
The volume fader 
allows you to pre-listen to only the video part, only the audio part or both.
|
Position the fader in the center to check the sync between the video audio and the audio played on Xautomation. |
