Audio lag from Canon XHA1 speaker during log and capture

Hey All,
I'm working with a Canon XHA1. I'm logging and capturing video shot in HDV (1920 by 1080) @ 60i, . I can see the video on screen but the audio playing back from the camera is about half a second behind what I'm seeing on screen.
My video monitor on the camera sincs up fine with the audio during this process AND my final capture is fine. It's just hard to work with this audio delay during the log and capture.
Is this a settings issue? I don't think I can monitor sound through the computer during log and capture, right?
Here are my settings:
Sequence preset:
HDV - 1080i60
Capture preset: HDV
Device control preset:
HDV Firewire Basic
Video Playback: None
Audio Playback: Default
Any suggestions?
AND can anybody tell me what Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 means?
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

Oh, and I neglected to mention I'm using a MacBook Pro running 10.4.10 and I'm running FCP 5.1.4
Thanks in advance.

  • No Audio during Log and Capture

    Hello, I have FCP 6.0 and am unable to hear my audio during log and capture. I have this problem on all 5 G5 Macs that I have, and have tried different editing docks and cables. I have used FCP for more than 5 years and have never had this problem. iMovie has audio during capture, so I am convinced that there is a pre-set in FCP that I don't have checked properly, but I've been over them many times and still have no answer. I searched past forums and didn't really find anything helpful to me.
    My pre-sets are set to DV NTSC 48kHz and the playback pre-sets are set to default. I can hear audio of my clips after I log and capture, but I still need to hear audio during importing. I'm more confused than anything. If anybody has had this problem before or any suggestions for me, I'm all ears.
    Thanks.

    ... as Bogie says.
    However... this is a non-feature that dates back to slower CPU days... yet, still with all the different formats and such I (ME!!) I believe it's still good practice to leave it off.
    Devoting as much CPU work to the capture process lessens the chance for something to go wrong. You can easily monitor the audio directly out of the deck as needed.
    Sure -- octo cores need 30 apps open just to get your money's worth and I'm sure you won't have any issues using an 8th of one to send audio thru itself while the other 7 and 7/8ths are used for capture... but who wants to risk it?
    Not me... I'm to old to change my ways.
    Blast you FCP v1.2.5 on a beige G3 with 7gig and 15gig hard drive -- you taught me well.

  • Canon Vixia HF M31 Log and Capture

    I would like to log and capture in FCP 7 with my Canon Vixia HF M31. It is USB connection only. I am able to Log and Transfer clips, but like to log and import to FCP 7 as I shoot, so Log and Capture.  Any ideas on the settings, or if this is even possible? Thx

    You cannot live capture with that camera...this won't work over USB.

  • Why is my time audio out of sync when I log and capture?

    When I log and Capture from my server, it copies everything.  But when I play it, that audio doesn't match the video, but when I pause it, it stops on the place it is supposed to be?  Anyone have this happen to them before?  Please let me know.  Thank You!

    I don't understand.  You log and capture FROM tape.  You could log and capture TO your scratch disk which could possibly be over a network.  If this is the case, try capturing locally and see if that works.  If so. the problem is with your network, not fcp.

  • Unable to capture video from canon xha1s to final cut pro 6.0. so confused

    hi,
    i purchased a canon xha1s and am simply trying to capture the video onto my macbook pro laptop. i keep getting the error saying my settings are incorrect and am confused as what to put and where. i went to the video/audio settings and put what i believed to be correct (HDV) since my camcorder records in HDV. still that error window pops up when i try to log and capture footage.
    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi .. I had a very similar problem .. if the above fails it may be worth a look at this too..

  • Audio Not Matching Up after Log and Capture

    After I log and capture my film on my computer a message puts up and says something like your audio is not aligned with your film you may want to fix the audio. The audio is way off from what I was filming. I tried 3 different Mini DVs and all had the same results. The good thing was I was just trying to make a sort of pump up video for a friend for colleges to look at so it wasn't that vital for most of the film. But when I needed the part where she was speaking about her stats and everything I had to relign the audio to match the movement of her mouth. Did I accidentally change a setting when importing film onto my computer?

    hello
    You might have captured the media with a different audio sample rate to how it was recorded in the camera. The default, standard audio rate in FCP is 48kHz, so the tape might have been recorded at 32kHz, or alternatively, it might have been recorded at 48kHz but you might have you project set up at 32kHz...
    Your capture/project settings should match the media.
    You can check the audio rates by looking in the browser window... scroll accross to the column that reads Aud Rate... what does it say?
    Then check your sequence by clicking on the timeline and pressing command(apple)+0... this will bring up the sequence settings window... look at the Audio Settings... wgat does it say there?

  • Clip Settings Audio Log and Capture

    Whenever I go to capture video from my AJA connected to our DigiBeta deck using Log and Capture, I have to uncheck 14 of the 16 audio tracks turned on under Clip Settings, as I only need two tracks. This seems to be the default audio capture setting. Is there any way to change it to two tracks as the default?

    I have this exact same question, only with a Black Magic Deck Link card.

  • Log and Capturing from USB device?

    I have a VHS connected to my G5 using an InterView RCA to USB device. Is it possible to log and capture into FCP5? I seem to be getting the sound okay, but can't get the video.

    You can't capture to FCP without timecode.<<</div>
    Not true. You can easily capture non-timecoded footage from any number of sources, including VHS. Set FCP's device control to "Non-Controlable Device" and use "Capture Now." The source player will need to be connected to your DV device (camcorder, VTR or converter).
    VHS decks don't generate timecode<<</div>
    Also not true. Most pro VHS and S-VHS VTRs have both VITC and LTC capability.

  • Importing Footage from Camera (Log and Capture)

    I am importing footage from my camera onto FC. Now my laptop doesn't have nearly enough space to import all the footage, but I have an external HD with 500 GB which is more than enough. But when I press log and capture, it immediately takes up space on the computer. Is there a way to import the footage directly to the hard drive?
    thanks.

    In Final Cut Pro, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > System Settings.
    When the System Settings Pane opens, on the Scratch Disks Tab, you can deselect your system disk and select your external drive as the location for the media you are using. You need to deselect the system drive, not just add your external. When done, click OK. Any media you have already transferred to the system disk will still be available for use in the edit, this will direct FC to use your external as the media storage device from this point forward.
    Your external drive should be connected to your computer via firewire or esata, USB (other than USB3) is not recommend for video work, and may give you performance issues.

    Any thoughts? One of the lines in the crash report say unable to allocate memory, but there is plenty of free memory when this happens (2GB+). Also, I don't think it's bad RAM since this happens on multiple computers.

    I'm having the exact same problem trying to edit a church service shot with the Sony HXR-NX5U recording AVCHD on SDHC cards. I'm using Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 on a Quad Core Intel Mac Pro running OS 10.6.4.
    Some of the shorter clips logged and captured successfully, but the 1 hr. clips crash each time I try. Shane Ross recommended locking the SD cards before log & capture. I failed to do this with the first attempt, but did so afterward. Then I archived the cards by making Disk Images of them. Shane says that a Mac will write code on an unlocked SD card when first inserted and that this can interfere with editing work. Could I have hosed my data by not locking the card the first time?
    This is very depressing, because if I can't depend on the recorded source footage, the cam becomes a very expensive paperweight. I am extremely disappointed with FCP.

  • CHALLENGE: CAPTURE files from JVC H7 Camcorder to FCE via log and capture.

    Thanks to this forum I can now capture from my JVC HD7 in real time. BUT, the utility File>Log and Transfer seems lots better. See www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/ and look at the video AVCHD capture. My JVC AVCHD does not seem to be able to log and capture. Maybe some genius can figure it out. Please help.
    Thanking in advance.
    Don

    Attn: Tom Wolsky.
    I was disappointed to hear I could not capture by Log and Capture with the JVCE Everio HD7.
    May I ask, Do you know any comparable camcorder with a 60 meg HD that would.
    Or what would be the best method to capture from the JVC?
    I have your book on order and looking forward to it.
    Thanks for ant help,

  • Logging and capturing from a hard drive camera

    I recently bought a jvc hard drive camera. It saves the video to 2 files a .mod file and a .moi file and when I try to use these in FCP it does not recognize these file types. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi:
    Has your camera a firewire port? To use Log and Capture you must use such port. What model is it?

  • Log and capture or Log and transfer?

    I'm a newbie to FCP, I've been working at it and researching, so I have a basic understanding, been able to do some good stuff, now I'm looking to find more time-economical ways to do things.  I'm a football coach, looking to cut up game films into individual plays (1 play per clip), and ideally being able to name each clip by it's play name "Trap" or "Pop Pass" for example.  It looks like I need to get into logging if possible.  My workflow at present when dealing with an opponent's film is to take a DVD, and get it onto my computer using MPEG Streamclip.  I've been using DVC-PAL as a codec at someone's suggestion, I can't rmemeber where I got that.  Is this a mistake?  Anyhow, I now import that movie file into FCP using File>Import.  At this point I can't do any logging though, if I try Log and Capture or Log and Transfer I get "Unable to initialize video deck", though it tells me I can still use Capture Now.  Once it opens the Log and Capture window, I get "Error: this operation requires a controllable deck."  and directs me to the Audio/Video Settings.  Here's where I'm pretty much lost.  Do I try to adjust settings from here?  If so, to what?  Do I need to start by changing my MPEG Streamclip settings and then trying to match those up in my FCP Audio/Video Settings?  Or do I need to completely overhaul the way I'm approaching this?  ARGH!  I've been impressed with myself getting to this point, any help from here would be greatly appreciated, thanks all!

    Log and Capture is used if you are capturing footage from tape based formats.  DV, HDV, HDCAM...others.
    Log and Transfer is for tapeless camera systems.  P2, XDCAM, Canon DSLR, AVCHD. 
    If your footage comes from DVDs...and you convert the footage to QT files...then you simply go to FILE>IMPORT.  You don't log with this method.  Just import and work with the footage.

  • FCP 7 Crashes Every Time On Log And Capture

    Hi,
    I have a Sony TRV950E connected to my new i5 iMac (10.6.4) via Firewire. I've selected Firewire PAL profile. Every time I hit 'Log and capture' FCP 7.0.3 crashes (I've included edited crash log highlights below). If I had any hair I'd have pulled it out long ago over this!
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    Trashed FCP Prefs
    Reinstalled FCP (using FCP remover tool) and patched up to latest version (7.0.3)
    Reinstalled Quicktime X from system disc
    Ran Disk Utility Repair Permissions several times
    Reset PRAM
    System profiler lists camera correctly under firewire settings
    Tried Firewire PAL Basic profile in FCP
    New firewire cable
    Noticed Quicktime 7 wasn't installed, so installed from Snow Leopard system disc.
    Captures perfectly in iMovie using DV VCR (which proves camera/firewire/cable are working).
    As I understand it, quicktime handles the capturing in FCP and I assumed reinstalling Quicktime X would fix it - no dice.
    If anybody could shed any light on what else I can try I'd be eternally grateful.
    Thanks.

    I removed the USB soundcard and it's fixed! All capturing perfectly. Thanks very much Jon.
    I have a supplementary question if I may. Ideally when I'm editing I'd like to run the sound through my Mackie MR5's connected via my Numark USB soundcard (the setup I use the rest of the time on this Mac) rather than use the internal iMac speaker.
    If I choose 'Numark USB Audio Device' or 'Default' under 'View-Audio Playbak' I only get audio on the viewer window not the canvas? If I change audio output to 'Built In' all audio plays fine on both viewer/canvas. I've tried rendering everything to no avail.
    Just seems odd the audio works in the viewer with the soundcard but not the canvas?
