Recording into Cubase WITH video?
How do I do? Is there a way?
I’m wanting to record some simple singer-songwriter bits and want to have video of my playing these.
Do I just need to record the video on a separate device than my computer and then sync the video to the recorded audio later?
That is what I do normally. You can add a video track to cubase and sync.i start with some percussive clicks or a count so I can line them up good. This works great for most things . A song or short clip.
If you really want to make it professional to record video and multi-track audio with Cubase or any DAW, you need a clock sync between the video and audio sources. You can use a BNC clock connection, SPIDF or ADAT; one is master and the other the slave. All Pro video cameras have this capability and pro video mixing decks have this as well. Your Cubase interface should have this.
Sounds like I have a lot to learn - but I think I’ve got what I need to start here.
I have cubase elements 10, and an interface.
I just googled “BNC Clock Connection” and seems like I need to read up on Digital Clocking.
Best camera I have is my pixel 7 phone, but maybe that will be enough? If I’m understanding you right, sounds like the software the those other tools use is included in Cubase already so I should just be able to connect everything there once I know my way around better?
Oh, and thank you for the response. I appreciate it!
