I need to do some voiceover work, and I was wondering
if there was an
application or a set of apps to do this with Linux. The video I was
given is an MPEG file, and I need to redo the voiceovers of the
presentation. The only voiceover work I have done was in Windoze with
Sonar 3, which I don't have access to anymore. I can think of a few
ways of doing this (coming up with an EDL, recording the voice, and
editing with Audacity or something). What I really want is an
application that will let me easily replace the audio track of a video
with another (preferably with a GUI). I know that I can use tools
like mplayer to dump out just the video and mencoder to re-encode, but
if there is an easier tool (more automated), I'd like to check it out.
Thanks.
Cinelerra is probably the closest thing to a GUI you can use for this
kind of thing on Linux. It will let you edit and synchronize separate
audio and video streams (and supports LADSPA plugins). You will need to
convert the video into Quicktime first, however (using something like
Quicktime Pro or quicktime4linux), and then import into Cinelerra. I
just had a small project where I needed to merge a preexisting audio
file with a short 10 second animation, and the animation had to loop
repeatedly for the duration of the audio. Cinelerra worked very well
for this.
