Quicktime video recording - audio delay

If i try to record a video using quicktime and my built-in webcam, and have the audio volume turned up so i can monitor as i record, there is a delay.
This is the only program that delays audio as i record. To be clear, the final video is not out of sync, its just the audio delays if i try to listen as i record (important if you are recording guitar like i do)
Any way to make it not delay?

JTBluesmaker, When you record the computer has to capture the video/audio and then convert the video/audio and then play it back. I believe Quicktime is monitoring the recoding and not the audio input. With that, I would say there going to be a slight delay.
If you have something like Apple's GarageBand you should be able to monitor the audio input.

  • QuickTime Screen Recording: Audio Omitted Until Screen Activity Starts

    I'm using QuickTime Player 10.1 on a 2011 MacBook Air 13" running Lion. I'm trying to make screen recordings with audio. This is working apart from the fact that the start of the recording is delayed until there is some screen activity. This is very inconvenient.
    While this strikes me as probably a bug, I guess it's worth asking if anyone has any ideas for how to correct this behaviour?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    I would think soundflower could do this as screenium uses it to do just what you are saying. But I have not been able to do it natively on QT X

  • Video and audio delay

    For the last few weeks, we've notice a delay on HD channels and regular channels with the audio and video on DVR shows AND live shows.  Anyone know why this is happening?  TIA

    I take it you are experiencing whats known as lip syncing.
    How do you have your dvr connected for audio?

  • Video Recording - Audio distorted / missing?

    I went to a showcase last night and recorded a video of one of the performances. The music was pretty loud, but not any louder than any other show. I had no problem enjoying the music without my ears hurting and my ears are pretty sensitive.
    I checked the recording (3 min long) today and the sound is terribly distorted for the first minute or so and then cuts out completely. Obviously this wasn't the case during the show. I tried another sample recording of me just talking and it works and sounds fine. The video file also sounds the same when transferred to my computer.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or has had this happen to them?

    I had the same issue. Recorded songs at concerts 2 nights in a row and at a loud nightclub. Audio terribly distorted most of the time. Sound cuts in and out completely at seemingly random times (no pattern based on sound volume - the shows were at a fairly constant level of loudness - very loud). At first I thought I may have accidentally been hitting some button/screen item on the phone while recording, but I don't think there is anything on the phone that would produce the on and off sound situation. Never have this problem when recording in normal sound level situations. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. If I need some app or external mic, I'd be happy to get it so I can record at concerts.

  • Quicktime not recording audio in New Movie Recording

    Audio is not recorded when using an audio interface as the input in New Movie Recording, but records fine when in New Screen and Audio Recording. Using my laptop's internal microphone is fine, cannot work out what the problem is, as it has worked absolutely fine in the past, but has stopped.
    Sound can be heard and the volume meter in Quicktime responds to sound coming in, just doesn't record at all in that mode.

    Are you launching Captivate with Run As Administrator privilege?
    If one of your co-workers logs onto your PC with their user profile, does the same microphone that doesn't work for you work OK for them?

  • Linking Video & Recorded audio

    Hey all,
    My most recent production I decided to capture audio separately using a field recorder rather than hooking the sound directly to the camera.
    This project has a lot of video and sound files, all logged separately. Is there any way that I can sync up the audio and video for each clip before I start editing them together in the timeline?

    Hi -
    You can make the separate audio and video clips into synced "Merged Clips".
    In FCP, go the menu Help > Final Cut Pro Help and select Final Cut Pro 7: User Manual. When that loads, search for: "Using Synchronization Points to Create Merged Clips"
    It will explain the whole process, and it will do exactly what you want.
    Hope this helps.

  • Quicktime Video Recording Hardware Question

    Would Quicktime Pro and this piece of hardware allow me to record video from my xbox to my IMac G5. If not what program would allow me to record the video?
    http://www.plextor.com/english/products/TV402UMac.htm

    I am not an Apple Discussion Forum frequent flyer, but I have been doing some research on this.
    A product called my.TV PVR is what I've found to be a good price, and include all of the things to record video from your xbox or record live TV. THis one is cheaper than the one that you have listed. I personally would go with this other one. I also have an iMac G5, and love Xbox, I just might have to try and record some Halo on my G5...we'll see.

  • How can I use QuickTime to make a screen recording that has both video and audio?

    How do use QuickTime to make a screen recording that can be saved with both video and audio together?

    do you know of any software that would record a QT movie playing on my Mac screen with both audio and video?
    I have used Ambrosia's Snapz Pro X ($69) for years, but they are currently upgrading their Kext (Kernel Extension) software for changes inroduced by the Lion release so it might not be your best bet at this time. I also use ScreenFlow but it is a combination capture and editing utility which runs $99 and may include more features than you may need or will use. Have also tried Screenflick ($29) which, to some extent, appears to have a functionality somewhere between that of Snapz Pro X and ScreenFlow. It is a bit more complicated to set up but for the price might be the best bargin at this point. All three can capture the entire screen or a portion thereof, with or without mic/line and/or system audio. (Or at least they all will as soon as Ambrosia updates its Kext routine.)
    Here is a URL link posted by QTKirk three days ago to an article that recaps of a number of currently available third-party screen capture apps from around the world several of which may interest you: http://mac.appstorm.net/roundups/utilities-roundups/10-screen-recording-tools-fo r-mac/

  • Can't record video or audio with my MBP's isghit

    Everytime I try to record a video or a sound using quicktime and the isght in my MBP an error message saying the "recording could not create a file" disk may be full or not writeable". my disk is not full for sure... any ideas? Thanks

    I've been having the same problem -- when I tried to record audio using Quicktime Pro I got the very same message.
    What I discovered is that you have to go into the Quicktime recording preferences and set the destination where you want it to record to.
    I had it previously set to an external HD that was no longer connected, which is why I was getting that message. I changed the recording destination to my desktop and it worked fine.
    Hope this helps!

  • Delay in video and Audio

    I use iChat to video chat with two friends in the UK. One is a o2 user and the other is a talktalk user. Wen chatting we experience an up to 7 seconds delay in voice and Video and audio. When we change to Skype there is no delay. Can you explain and solve this please. You do a great job Ralph. Thank you.

    Hi,
    Umm Bermuda.
    Ok Start with.
    If anyone is on 10.5.x then go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming at set the drop down to 1.5Mbps and restart iChat (so it "Sees" the new speed)
    On Snow Leopard and Leopard computers go to iChat > Preferences > Video Section and set the Bandwidth to 500kbps as a starting point.
    If this in itself does nor sort the issue the slowest Buddy (Internet Connection) should drop their's to 200kbps - This is on the iChat Limit in a 3 or 4 way chat as the Specs say 384k
    It is worth while having the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) open for this.
    Also try changing who is Host.
    Ideally it should be the one with the fastest Internet connection.
    I have a vague feeling about Bermuda or one of the other small islands where the Local telephone company had become the default ISP - and in the day of iChat 3 where effectively blocking iChat by blocking the SIP Ports (Vonage and other VoIP adapters) that "lost" them Long Distance Telephone connection monies.
    The thread about that was some time ago.
    It maybe that they cannot support Video chats (Or lots of Off island Video Chats and On-line gaming) due to the ISP's own data rate to the "Main land".
    Does it become apparent when you join the chat ?
    Or does it not matter who hosts and who joins last ?

  • Audio on keynote exported quicktime videos cuts out at 50 seconds?

    It just started!  When I export my keynote into a Quicktime file, the audio cuts out at 50 seconds.  I have been creating videos a long time with this method and never had problems before.

    I am willing to share files with Apple. Mine are copyrighted, but are shareable.
    But here's a wrinkle on the problem that puts me a little more in sympathy with Apple engineers, since they may well not have encountered the subtle environments we have that is generating this audio problem.
    I was having the same problem you are for several days after I upgraded to Keynote 6.5 and Yosemite 10.10 (running on a mid-2011 MBA). I duplicated a keynote file with audio recorded that cut out after 50 seconds or so: audio stopped on slide 2 even though I had recorded and saved the whole 50 minute presentation. I store my keynote presentations along with Quicktime movies (m4v) and downsampled mp4 files in a sparsebundled disk image. I created a new, larger disk image yesterday because I was running out of storage space. To do that, I copied all the files in the sparsebundle to a temporary folder on a backup drive (My Mac Book Air is running out of storage space). Then, I deleted the old sparse bundle, created the new one, and copied all the files back.
    After reading your latest post, I thought I would try again. I opened my test Keynote file, now copied to the new sparse bundle, and the audio works! I can hear the audio in the Keynote file when I "Play Recorded Slideshow" from the Play menu. I also exported to a Quicktime m4v movie and the audio is all there. The Keynote file size didn't change during all this: still 36.8MB, which is typical for the audio recorded ones. I start with a 2 to 4MB presentation of 15-20 slides, record audio, and the file size increases to 35-40MB. Then the Quicktime m4v is typical 200-300MB. This one is: 239.4MB.
    So, although the bug is not squashed, take heart and don't delete those files! Your audio may actually be in there somewhere.

  • Quicktime pro recording video playback too fast

    I'm using Quicktime Pro to make a video recording with audio using the "Best" settings in the preferences (i.e. h264 encoding). When playing these videos back, the audio sounds good, but the video framerate seems almost x2 the speed as it should be. Below is the output of ffmpeg on one such movie. The output points to the fact that there's a problem with framerates, but I'm not really sure how to interpret it towards getting a solution. Any ideas on how to fix this so that we get audio video sync'd up and at the right speed?

    Hello,
    I think it has something to do with audio settings in your camera.
    There's a menu where you can choose 12bits audio or 16bits audio.
    Change the setting and try again.

  • No video recording capability in Quicktime 7 pro for windows

    I'm unable to record a video files in Quicktime 7 pro for windows after inserting Registration key. It took the key and say I now have QT 7 pro but only allows me to record audio files no video. Calling apple support they wound up discovering that video recording was no longer possible with the Windows pro license. Really?

    Video recording has never been a feature of QuickTime Player Pro for Windows. It's a Mac only feature.
