Effects Pack 7 and 8 Members Webinar In the Archives

... finally!  Whew, tried and tried to get the recording of the recent (February 2013) Member Webinar to cooperate but finally decided it was corrupt and not going to 'play nicely' (long story short - my webinar service allows me to record the sessions onto my local drive. Something happened this time at the end of the recording process that rendered the file unstable. It was there - but not able to convert to a play-able video file).

So... I have re-recorded the whole program. I took the visuals and the scenes & effects along with the ideas developed with the group who attended live with me and produced a 2.0 webinar.

The 58-minute video is now available to Website Members here: Casablanca Expert Members Webinar: Effects Pack 7 & 8

Today's Ask The Casablanca Expert: How To Import Music from iTunes to my Casablanca



QUESTION: I have a customer that wants music on her DVD, but she gave the music on USB drive. I have inserted the USB Stick but the files don't seem to show up in the Record Menu under the USB Icon?


ANSWER:
With Bogart V5 (on a Casablanca Next Gen editor) we can now import MP3 audio from a USB source, this is done in the Audio Record, Edit menu and not the regular Record Menu.

First insert your USB drive into your editor, then click the 'USB Record' button at bottom of the menu to select that device and then it's file/s.

But there may be an issue you need to address first...
ITunes1If your client exported the music directly from iTunes, then no - they are not an MP3 file, they are an AAC file (an Apple proprietary format) - they must be converted into an MP3.

If your client can do this for you, I have instructions here: http://cassieexpert.live.subhub.com/articles/20110408

If not, you will need to obtain an audio converter software for your computer to do this.

Once you have a true MP3 file it should import easily into the Audio Record, Edit menu.

NOTE: You should be careful to observe Copyright Law pertaining to these music files & all other files if the rights belong to another.
