Hi. I have used Sibelius since 1995, but until now I have never tried "Scoring to Film". I have loaded a video "Can't Stop the Feeling" from TH-cam into my Sibelius Ultimate for PC. The problem I have yet to solve, is that the Sibelius score notes and the video are not quite synchronized when I play the two. Sibelius score notes sound about quarter of a beat later than video. I have "Note Performer" off and using "General MIDI" sounds to avoid "Note Performers" delay etc. Thanks. Steve
Hi Stephen, sorry about the long delay - this issue may be resolved by increasing your playback buffer engine size when using Sibelius Sounds via Play Tab > Playback Devices > Audio Engine Options. If you're on Windows though, you need to be using a pro-audio interface. Basically following the same conventions for latency reduction with MIDI input should help this situation (to a degree at least). This article clarifies the concept: www.musicednet.com/KB00099
I hope one day Avid might incorporate the Avid Video engine inside Sibelius and have it adhere to timecode the way Pro Tools and Media Composer do - that would certainly make the performance of video in Sibelius a lot more robust.
@@daviddowling9482 Hey I'm on mac but increasing buffer engine size (or decreasing) doesn't seem to do anything. There is still an annoying slight lag with the midi input. How did you get your video to start at the same time as your playback? I wouldn't mind lag so long that is was both the same for the playback and video.
@@timjay6279 Hi Timothy, MIDI input from a MIDI keyboard and any associated latency is a different scenario to the alignment of film playback via the Quicktime plugin and buffer settings most definitely do apply, but only if you're using a Playback Configuration that can respond to this (low buffer size = lower latency on MIDI keyboard inpuf). Are you using Sibelius Sounds as your Playback Configuration in Play Tab > Setup > Configuration? It's essential to use Sibelius Sounds for any of this to work most effectively. Buffer settings will have no effect if you're using the General MIDI (Basic) Playback Configuration, as this uses the DLS Synth on Mac which is separate to the Sibelius playback engine (controlled by the computer operating system), much like the Wavetable Microsoft synth under windows.
Great job 👍 thanks!
May be it is a stupid question, but I´d like to know what kind of video format can I use on Sibelius?. I'm trying to open an mp4 video and it is not working
Hi Erick, under Windows AVI, WMV or MOV should be OK by default. 'MPG' (MP4 etc) are less predictable due to codec requirements/restrictions surrounding the Windows Media or Quicktime plugin options and 32-bit vs 64-bit legacy arrangements relating to them. If you have MP4 files that refuse to play with a 'codec' related message, the easiest way around it is to use a video file conversion application to convert it to one of the other formats (WMV should be the most efficient). Magix Vegas Movie studio is a cheap and well-resourced video editing application (a light version of Vegas Pro) that will do a good job with the conversion. There are simpler and cheaper/free apps out there for file conversion too, but it's hard to know how trustworthy many of them are.
@@daviddowling9482 thank you!!!
hi! great video! i just wanted to know if there was a way to export the video with the added score as background audio. how do i export it? thank you!!
Hi Kate, thank you! As Sibelius is merely using Quicktime or Windows Media Player as a playback 'plugin' in this case, it doesn't have a way to export the video with Audio embedded. For this you'd need to go to File Tab > Export > Audio to export the audio file from the score, then bring the video and audio files into a video editing application like iMovie or Magix Movie Studio to combine them on the timeline and render a new video file containing both.
I hope this is clear - the same question took a bit of explaining at an Avid presentation I did some years ago after demonstrating this feature as well as Sibelius' capacity to export videos of it's own playback environment (the fact that it can actually do the latter created a bit of confusion as to why it can't do the former).
@@daviddowling9482 thank you!! this was really helpful- I'll try doing that. thanks!! :D
Quite useful. Thank you.
No problem at all, thanks for watching!
hi.do you know how to remove original score from a video,or can you not do that,do you have to find videos already with no score? if so could you tell me where you can find them?
Hi Andrew,
If you do a google-search on 'remove audio from video' you'll see there are a number of free online tools for this. You can also bring it into a video editor application like Magix Vegas or Movie Studio (both will give you a free trial for 30 days which is fully-functional).
However, this will remove ALL audio from the video, not just the music score. The audio, including voice tracks & sound-effects etc will all be bounced to a stereo track in any .MP4/.Mov or other format of movie file, so it's impossible to pull the music score out of it in isolation.

www.videvo.net/ also has free stuff that's too new to be public domain, so like similar stuff from www.shutterstock.com and others, you should inspect their licencing agreement before using any of it in a commercial project. It's all fine to practice with for non-commercial use though of course.
David Dowling great. thanks for your help
No problem at all!
Audacity is a good one
