This video was just what I needed. I had purchased the Canon T7 to find it had no external connection for a microphone, this video gave me cause to smile it gave me a way to record great audio with little more than a choice of microphone and my smartphone. Well done and thank you .
Glad I could help Robert, thanks for watching.
Same. 🎸
@@photogenius please answer is d3500 not good for a tripod, at 1.53 when you are recording video from a d3500 it was getting zoomed in zoomed out, and getting blurred, I was worried when I was shooting my d3500 on a tripod and the result was same. Do you have any solution for this how to make the camera stable.
We've all seen Hollywood use clapper boards/slates to sync sound and image. An easy way to do it yourself: several seconds before you start speaking, clap your hands in a way that will be easily seen by the camera, and will be clearly heard by your microphone. Then when editing, sync the sound of the clap with the motion.
Yep, nearly featured that in the video too... a god tip.
@@photogeniusCould you post a short of this as an example?
I am a beginning, amateur photographer and videographer. I just bought an external mic for my Sony A6000 and I really needed to see this. No audio jack! Syncing audio from my smartphone will come in handy for me. Thank you.
More please! I am interested in BOTH still and video photography! Thank you!
You got it! 👏
Thank you for this video. I just bought my 1st digital camera (Canon EOS Rebel T7) for a digital photography class, and stumbled upon your channel. Very informative! Subscribed!
Fantastic - the T7 is a great camera and is featured in many of my videos - have fun with it and thanks for your support.
Paul.
Neff Toons I just bought one as well.
That's very helpful and informative, thank you Paul. I would certainly like more tips on making videos.
Thanks Jim, more to come.
This is exactly what we needed to know how to sync audio for our Canon t7's for our UA-cam reality show. THANK YOU!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally the FIX! I purchased a Canon T7 assuming it had an external port for my wireless mic. I have been going batty trying to find a way to salvage my investment - meaning, not ditch the canon and purchasing a new camera. And now I will watch the rest of the video to learn how to sync the two...Happy New Year! Kellie
Great video, thank you so much...one more question...is there an easy way to convert i phone video to audio only? thanks, Kellie
Glad you enjoyed the video. If you have recorded a video on an iPhone you can seperate the audio from the video using software like Adobe Premiere Pro.
Another great video, Paul. Even though I'm not into video, this has been an education. Thanks!
Glad to hear it, thanks Lawrie.
Thanks Paul. And yes, I'd love to see more presentations about video/audio production.
Noted! Thanks Kym.
I never write comments because honestly, I don't have the energy for it, but the guide was so excellent that I had to! You answered all the questions I had and helped me so much!
In addition, the guide was very interesting and the review was thorough and concise! This is without a doubt the best guide I have seen in my life!!! I immediately clicked the Subscribed button. after this comment, I'm definitely going to see more of your videos. Thank you so much!☺
I very much appreciate the very kind feedback, thank you so much. I'm glad you found the video informative and wish you all the best.
Paul @ Photo Genius 🙂
You are my hero. I have been struggling with this for weeks and was just about to spend a bunch of money
Thanks Paul. As usual, spot on and very well done. I am just looking into videography so this was most helpful.
Great to hear, thank you for the support.
If you have a Canon T7 / EOS 1500D, Nikon D3500 or any similar camera that does not have a microphone input then I know how frustrating it can be to record videos only to be disappointed with how bad the audio sound quality is.... well in this video I have a solution for you.
I've had so many people ask me about making videos about making videos that I thought I would put something together, I hope you enjoy the video and tips.
PLEASE like 👍, leave a comment and subscribe!!
Thanks for watching!!
Paul @ Photo Genius
This is a perfect tutorial for my Nikon D3400. It's a bad move for Nikon to remove mic input for this model. but I am so glad I found this. Thank yo so much.
Thanks for the informative and useful video! When using the iPhone with mic plugged in - what programme do you use on the iPhone? Just the recording app?
Thanks for all your help
Now that just answered a whole bunch of my questions....... Thank you.
You're welcome Tom.
Paul, what a big assist this video provided me in expanding my photography to making videos. It is all so confusing and, once again, your clear and straight forward "how-to" has gotten me moving in the right direction. I just received my first mic, the Rode VideoMic GO II (yea, Australia!) and I'm ready to figure out what to connect it to. 🤪 My D7500, my Android, or my PC? THANK YOU!
This video answered my age old question: how to sync video and audio of the same event, captured separately. Thanks a lot, very useful
Paul, did you use the voice memo app on your iPhone to record your audio? I have an iPhone with voice memo app and wondering if that’s the best to use? I also have a T7 so this video was very helpful.
Sir iam regular viewer from india you explain very well sir✨️✨️
Thank you and a big hi to all my viewers in India (there are many) - stay well and stay safe. 👍
@@photogenius thankyou sir✨️❤❤
Thank you very much!! This is exactly what I was looking for. What a golden tip. I almost fainted thinking I now had to buy a new camera, to replace my already marvelous camera with integrated mic. Life savior. Thank you. Have a nice 2022.
I just got the Canon eos m200, and this video really help me expand my audio capabilities.
I have enjoyed it and learned some great tips. Thumbs up. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! Syncing the audio was the icing for me.
Excellent tutorial!! Always a wealth of knowledge.. Thank You👍
My pleasure Eric.
Wow this helped me so much
Super helpful. Could not find this info that I needed anywhere!! Went ahead and purchased the rode lav mic. Thanks!
That was great info. Love your videos, very well presented, easy to follow and understand. thank you
finally, I might try this on my new canon t7 nextyear for our shortfilms thank you!
Thank you for this. I just purchased a T7, What app do you use on your phone to record?
Great tips Paul Big thanks.
No worries, thanks for watching.
I am from India 🇮🇳
BIG fan you're videos❤ channel
Thank you.
I would love to see more videos about making videos because I would love to have better audio on my videos. I use to Rode Wireless Go [still tring to get the hang of it] and I recently got a rode lav mic. Your videos are always so helpful!!!
I'm right there with you Mia!! I need to make better videos!!
I don't know if your lavallier was misplaced, but the sound was quite muffled. The best audio quality in this video was your voice overs.
Personally I use a semi- or professional digital recorder when using a lavallier. Sometimes I use the Hollyland LARK 150 wireless system that workss fine, even if it is not professional. Keep up the good work! ;-)
Very nice idea 💡 vow. Great tutor !!!👍👍👍
Thank you so much for posting this video. This is what I was looking for because I have a t5 camera that doesn't have the external audio port, and I thought I would have to spend 700 to get a camera that does!
Excellent video Paul. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.
A relief to know i can use by Nikon D3400 for reciridng videos. It doesnt have a mic port as well. Will use an external mic with phone and sync. Thq
This was also fun to watch! Keep it up
Appreciate it, thanks Daniel.
This was extremely helpful. Thank you very much.
Answered my question. Thanks.
Any time! Thanks for the feedback.
Applaud Applaud Applaud....You're Awesome!!!!
Paul, outstanding information with easy to follow instructions as always. Thank you for your efforts.
a very very and great video tutorial..
thankyou for sharing.
Very instructive video as always! Thanks boss
Thank you for the wonderful info. It all made sense.
Thanks for the tip! I have a Canon Rebel T6 1300D that I want to use for UA-cam and was wondering how to get better audio.
Excellent video 📹
Good lesson on sound synchronisation.
Cracking video!!
Thank you 👏
perfectly described and easy tutorial for beginners like me, totally understood, thumps up Paul...:)
Thank you 🙏 so very much ❤
I love your channel. I have learned so much since finding your channel! thank you paul for your amazing videos. my name is paul to so that's cool! God bless!!
This video was extremely helpful thank you
Wow, you have great communication skills. shared what we needed to know! Thank you! ❤️ Could you please do a Premier Pro tutorial for beginners?
This is brilliant 👏
we need more please and thank you for this one
Another wonderful video. Can we use this microphone on Canon SL2?
The SL2 has an external mic input - the VideoMic pro would be the best option as it will sit in the top of the camera.
@@photogenius Thank you for nice information.
Great job sir, I have one question though,,,, what microphone or audio recording technique do I need to be able to record random street UA-cam videos without people engaged in the process knowing that I am actually recording a video (in other words how can I completely hide the microphone without compromising the audio quality)?
Nice solution 👍🤝
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for this!😉
You are welcome, thank you.
Thank you so much for the video! I have a question about the iPhone+Lav mic, if I use a really old iPhone will that effect the quality of the recording?
this really help.
Now that's worth my time 🙂😌
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Paul!!!!
WOW! Very helpful. I'm going to try this with my video editor, PowerDirector. I haave an iPhone 11, so I'll have to research ways to connect it to a microphone. Thanks for the insights :)
Follow up: Cyberlink PowerDirector also has an audio sync function which worked perfectly! I found a lavalier mike that will connect to the iPhone 11 through the lightning port. Should be ready to record in the field next week. Thanks again for your video guide.
Thank you so much
Genuis thank you sir
This vidio really help, thank youuu 🙏
Thanks
Very welcome.
Supurb. I wanted exactly this information
Great video, don't do video but now I might give it a try, thank you
Have fun! 👏
Thanks for good explanation, I have a question, I need to cut some part of my videos, what should I do with the voice? I record a video without stop and also the voice without stop and then when I cut some part of the video, what happened to the voice?can I cut both video and voice at the same time? thanks for helping me
Hi thanks for this video. How did you transfer the audio from your iPhone to your computer?
Big Help!
thank you thank you
Paul, this is amazingly helpful! I've been looking for this tutorial for quite a while. Thank you so much for making this video! I really appreciate it. Would you consider making tutorials for how to use Premier Pro to edit videos? 😀 Nadiah
👍✅
Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much Paul. This video has help a lot. But I have a case here with me: i bought a new wireless microphone with a type C receiver connecting to a phone. It uses OTG system to receive the sound. I tried it with a voice recording and it picked up the sound from a far distance, but when using a video recording, the receiver doesn't pick up the sound. It just barely uses the internal mic from my phone in which the more I move away from the phone the worse the sound becomes. Please if there's any way you can help me with the explanation of that, I will appreciate it. Thank you so much.
It sounds like you may need to change the video / camera settings in the phone, sorry I cannot help further.
Thanks this video has been helpful a lot, there is another software on PC you can use it has best noise cancelling & everything too, its called AUDACITY
Thanks for this video. can I use Rode Wirless Go II to record the sound separately?
That's cool
Thank you.
Great great video😘😘 I Love it but my question how to proper match the audio to the video.Coz some times you record first the video & follow the audio meaning they are not match coz in mixcraft I manually match the video to the audio which is very hard..can you give a simple trick to it...thanks
Please continue making videos about making videos
Ok, more to come 🙂
Very interesting Paul
Thanks a lot for a helpful video. I bought my camera for stills and now I'm thinking about using it for video I've realised it doesn't have a mic input. I'm thinking of making videos at home - mostly meditation & yoga, so I will be in one place without too much background noise. In this case, would it work to use my laptop to do the filming - using my DSLR as the camera (with an HDMI cable etc) and a USB mic plugged into my laptop? And then saving time having to sync the audio & video later?
This might seem like a really obvious set up or answer, this is all very new to me and I'm trying to work out the easiest & most cost effective way to get started before refining my product and possibly investing in better tech further down the line. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Thanks !!!!
You're welcome!
Hi Paul, this is what i need, but your merging the camera video with recorded audio by help of which software? what is the name of the software. windows 7 will support? please send me all the details? provide the software download link? which mic is best send me mic link to purchase. thanks
For furthur video can you also tell about how to do all these using FOSS like shotcut etc. Please
I have Nikon D750 and D5300. Can I use RODE smart LAV+ directly with the camera? I like to use wireless systems. Please let me know what are the exact attachments I have to purchase. I am a very senior citizen and can’t use Adobe. I want to take video and audio and use them in Facebook timeline.
Thanks & Regards
The smartLav+ is designed to connect to smartphones, to connect to a camera you would have to use an adaptor. A better option for you would be the Lavalier GO : amzn.to/3zjSCVj
As long as your camera has a mic input in the side then this mic will work a treat.
Super
What is a good budget camera DSLR or close to it with audio input? I need to buy one soon as possible and I have no clue where to begin. I want to record a DJ set with audio going straight to the camera from the audio mixer. Are used to do this with my iPhone X but the dongle stopped working and it's no longer supported by iOS. Desperate and on a budget under $450 usd
Thanks 🙏
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very good
Hi Photo Genius :)
I have a question.
My camera is Canon Rebel T7. It doesn't have a fllip screen, so I set up my phone as an external screen, so I can see myself.
Will I be able to use road microfone you showed in the video for recording audio, and at the same time, using same phone as external screen?
Good day, can i use external mic for nikon d3100 or canon d1100? Do you have any solutions? Thabk you
A few years ago I did a very short couple of video clips with my Canon SL1. I had never done it before but I just flipped the switch up and hit the shutter button and it started recording. Thinking I might be interested in doing a little more I bought an extra external mic. Glanced at a couple of videos online to see what kind of Settings I should have for videos…Well now using the same camera and the same secure digital card that has been re-formatted, my video clip last 5 sec, !! What in the world have I done wrong? Some have said it’s the video card but it is the same video card that I used a couple of years ago with not a lot of use in between. I think I’m also using back button focus with this camera….Do you have any ideas? Always enjoy your videos of all of the cameras that you have demonstrated that I have.
Hello! I've been searching for an hour on youtube and finally find this very informative vid, thanks! However, I do have a question. With the Rode Video Go mic shown at 2:48, can you connect headphones to the receiver so that the camerman can hear what the person being recorded is saying? Example, if the person being recorded goes a good distance away, can the cameraman plug headphones into the receiver to be able to hear the person being recorded? Thank you!
Hi Paul I have a Nikon D3400 wich is similar to the D3500 so unfortunately as a beginner I think only about my first camera. Whatever I look at the network and I saw adapter wich is jack to USB port and on theory you can add eternal mic to the camera. Do you have any more about this or is waste of money. Thank you in advance.
Hi Andrey, I think this adaptor would be a waste of your money, if it works then Nikon would sell an adaptor and list it in the camera features.
How does this work if you have two people on screen and need both of them amplified?
I have a Panasonic Lumix Dc-fz80
