When making music videos...

[Guest HeyMcFly]

Hey all. I tried to set up my VCR's and CD player in order to try to make a music video (video dubbed with a song playing over the footage), and it worked perfectly fine. My question though, for those of you who have done it before, is: how do you stop the music and leave the original audio in at different points throughout the video? I've seen it done before, but just have no clue how to do it, besides to add the footage with the original audio in after recording the rest of the video. Thanks to all who can help. I appreciate it very much!

There really is no way to do it using what you're using...other than to yank the audio cable from the CD player and replace it with the one carrying the audio you want really quickly.

 

There may be some kind of toggle switch you can buy, but because editing is now done on computers, it may be hard.

 

I've tried this tons of times, and nothing seemed to work. Hope that helped. -Jim
