daryl1968 Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Hi nice people of the forum Yesterday I finished this video. It is my wife's choir here in Wales, UK singing We'll Meet Again - a tribute on VE day's 75th Anniversary (WW2 Victory in Europe). I had to fix the audio from 23 videos taken on mobile phones (UK is under strict lockdown), then manually align them to the backing track they were singing to, then create a video from all of it. It was posted last night and has 9,000 views on Facebook so far. I hope you enjoy. https://vimeo.com/415956582 Edited May 8, 2020 by daryl1968 3
daryl1968 Posted May 8, 2020 Author Posted May 8, 2020 I meant to say, all audio was mixed in CbB and this is the first time I have used Cakewalk for extracting audio from video - it works very well 1

The worst part was that I didn't get the videos from the singers until Tuesday, so spent 2 full days on it. Mind you, bugger all else to do 1

Nigel Thanks Nigel - that's a lovely tribute. All the photos in our video are family of the choir members. I had 2 days to do the whole thing - lots of midnight oil burned.

bjornpdx Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Daryl Wow, just wow. I'm sure that three minute video took hours and hours to put together but well worth the time and effort. Something to be proud of for sure. 1
PhonoBrainer Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Loved it, I saw all the edits and comping, wow great project! I liked the spirit of costuming as well, big fun. See you on Reddit! -Tom 1

I had 2 days to get it done as it had to be posted the evening before VE day. There were overwhelming moments

Guest Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Great work Daryl - so difficult to synchronise this stuff and get anywhere even close - but with this you can't even see or hear the joins - brilliant stuff. Congrats to all involved. Andy

David Sprouse Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Who did the solos during the instrumental? Loved the raw performance and goofy audio, made authentic. All the smiles seemed so sincere! 1

All the smiles seemed so sincere! Hi David. I used a (very good) karaoke backing on this. Would have loved to do the music myself but didn't have enough time.
Lynn Wilson Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Fabulous, Daryl! Now it's time for you to do a video of one of your songs. 1
