Dear Music Teachers: Please Stop Asking How To Make A Virtual Choir Video, Counting Down Midnight Music’s Top 10 Podcast Episodes of 2020, Counting Down Midnight Music’s Top 10 Posts of 2020, Midnight Music’s Boomwhacker Sound and Image Library, MTT124: Creating Playalong Videos with Cameron Moten of Elementary Groove Tracks, Oliver is exploring options for non-Apple platforms so that the performers can use Android devices or Chromebooks to create and submit their videos to the director, It will be only released in the US and Canada (and maybe even Australia where I’m located!) that project took me almost a month to accomplish. There is clearly something I don't understand here (maybe its just that I'm denying that I'm in for a metric s**t-ton of work) but I' would definitely appreciate any strategies or tactics you'd care to share. One of the most frequently asked questions by music teachers over the past few months has been: “How do I create a virtual choir or ensemble video?”, “Which app do I use to make a virtual choir video?”. Thanks so much for the workflow ideas! Thank you for this informative post. You are now going to convert the 75 source clips into a format where all 75 will end up with the same pixel dimensions and aspect ratio so that you can build the grid. That’s very similar to another current app, Cyborg Llama http://www.cyborgllama.info. Like other choirs in the pandemic, ours has recorded a song that I'm editing together. about a little over a week ago I finished my first ever Virtual Choir edit.. and boy did I underestimate the amount of work in front of me.. In some apps you can Ctrl+click to "select deeper", but I don't think that works here. Virtual Choir is an app to help musicians create video montages. Thanks! Now, who would like to join my virtual choir…? Virtual Choir AERCO La Rosa Bianca di Daniele Venturi (testo di Attilio Bertolucci) 'La Rosa Bianca', il brano di virtual choir a cui avete partecipato con la vostra voce è finalmente pronto. oh.. thankfully someone else did the audio for me... https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=1zpvBOEskYM. HGmoses,.. now that thats out the way. I can see that just playing with resizing the video here would be MUCH faster. That was exactly the strategy I needed to be able to pull it all together and have a smooth, fun editing experience. The words, ‘Only when it’s dark enough, can you see the stars’, are taken from Dr Martin Luther King’s 1968 speech ‘I’ve been to the mountain top’. Recording a virtual choir has always been a tall order. Any and all advice/ideas is tremendously appreciated. Take a 16:9 photo with your phone, then import that photo of your layout grid with numbers and names into Premiere and place it on V1 of your timeline that has the audio on it. So I cannot anchor a corner and resize it into place - I have to make the whole thing smaller and nudge it into its spot - ONLY THEN to find out I need another percent or two smaller or bigger - sooooooo tedious. But while the Virtual Choir certainly … all that aside. It's basically rinse and repeat after that until you get the 75 built. You are going to make 75 individual sequences, each named with the number of the box on the grid and the persons name. Make versions of your project (say every 5 boxes) so that if something goes wrong you can step back to an earlier version and not loose everything. What settings should I use for the new sequence preset, and when I render, what settings should I use? You can use that information to speed up the placement of the boxes. But there is a part of me that would like to have a master copy of all 75 faces on the same timeline - maybe that's just nutty. Grabbing any one of the 8 grab handles resizes the clip at the CENTER of its bounding box. Every once in a while turn on a bunch and check you work. This will be a deal-breaker for many who are working with students using Chromebooks or Android devices (but…see next point). Or how about this one for visual interest (185 voices, 1080p, using 16x9 shapes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7o7BrlbaDs&list=PLi1Vq1dNtFw8IxMmrfb7cjbZbU4Z4Ipun&index=2&t=0s.

With copying and pasting attributes? I’m a qualified teacher but no, I don’t currently teach in a school. Right now I'm painstakingly adding each video, resizing, and cropping, but that takes a ton of time. if only i read it prior to starting on my first project. 9x16 instead of the 16x9 that MTD was using for the example). and Im sure with a powerful PC maybe even in a week... Wow! BRINGING THE CHOIR TO YOU! That multi-step process sounds longer, but really makes things shorter because of how well it works. I don't need complex cutting I basically want to use all of every video. Add to that, that after I got the first 20 or so videos loaded up, my machine won't playback. over 100 people came together over twitter to sing auld lang syne in a toad voice, and, frankly, that’s beautiful.

Both of these used more or less full frame video for parts, so demanding for the computer. Never knew they were there because the majority of all my video work has always been single-shot full frame. I realize the answer to those is likely "it depends" but my target playback is YouTube, so I'd optimize for whatever settings would work well there. The aspect ratios keep going wonky, even though the pixel ratio seems to be right. Everything you need to know about GPU in Premiere Pro.
