Hey all,
Not my problem as such, but a friend of mine is creating a 5 minute video using a piece of music I wrote.
I gave them a version last night, as a wav. They're currently using Premier to make the video. This morning I made small changes to a couple of things in the song and have rendered out a new version of it.

They just called me over the phone and said that because they're already in the middle of making it, it's kind of difficult to change the song.

I've only used Premier once, around 4 years ago, but from what I remember, changing the song from the old version to the new version should be as simple as a click and drag job, right?

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with Premiere (prefer FC and iM), but ANY video edit app I've seen so far, handles audio and video in different tracks, layers, whatever… so, that said, you erase the old music-track and import the new one...

ok, the new version has to be the same length, esp. "keypoints" as any hits, breaks, chorus (whatever structure your piece has) should stay at the same places, because an editor use them as… ehm, keypoints

ok, you all stumble into trouble, if they allready had done some "mix down", by adding additional sound effects, voices, noises, whatever... but a good editor will keep additional stuff on additional layers (e.g. FC offers 99 tracks...) and create final 2c-stereo just at the very end of editing.

but, technical spoken:
earse track, insert track - boom! done...
no "difficult"

just delete the old one, pop in the new one, unless they edited the audio.
