Adding music to a avi video clip (Blender)

All,

  Our youngest son is experimenting with Blender and producing short
video clips.  To which I'd like to add some music.  I would not have
the time to get into Blender and explore the options of adding music
natively in Blender, so I'd like to work with end-product avi clips.

  What are then the ways to add music to a video clip ?  How could I
sync a few Ardour tracks to a playing video clip and have the result
recorded as a new video clip ?

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions/hints.

Cheers.

You could use xjadeo, which is a video player that can sync to
jack_transport. It requires a special format video so you may be
required to convert it beforehand. Then you can compose the soundtrack
in ardour while having the video synced.

Once you've finished you can export a wav from ardour, and then add it
to the original video with avidemux, a GUI for video encoders and tools.

I saw a script mentioned on ardour.org that lets you sync blender to
ardour. You could compose/record the music in ardour, export it and
get video and audio together in a container (like avi). Video editing
software can certainly do this, but there certainly are more
lightweight (cli) ways.

 What are then the ways to add music to a video clip ?

For simple and quick video+music I use Kdenlive. It does not use jack, but importing and editing a/v clips is intuitive and easy. Plus, it gives you wide array of exporting formats with a press of a button.

Based on replies I got I thought of the following flow (still to be
tested):

 1) Use xjadeo to jack-sync Ardour to the video clip
 2) Make multi-track music synced to the video
 3) Export music as some sound file (probably wav and perhaps 44.1)
 4) Use either kino or Kdenlive to load the clip
 5) Add the whole soundtrack along the clip
 6) Save the whole thing in the desired format

This is not dubbing, so some eventual (?) slight variations in time are
OK.  Am looking forward to try it, but now I have to compile xjadeo
since it is seemingly not available for Fedora 8 x86_64.

Cheers.

There's indeed a mention of it at ardour.org, from Spetember this year:

"Juan Pablo Bouza has a nice short writeup on how to use Blender, the
pre-eminent open source 3d rendering and animation tool, with Ardour, so that they share a common timeline."

But seemingly there's no friggin link to it ! I can't see where the
actual writeup is located.

Cheers.

There is a way to do this internally with blender.  However IIUC, it is
only possible to add an existing track rather than edit a session and
mix it together.

Has a video tutorial which explains everything.


Cheers.
