Regarding import audio during 1080p sequence

I have footage that i filmed at 30fps, and when i set up the project i set the settings to the "1080p 30fps" setting. Then, i import my mp3 song onto the timeline and when i press the play button in the "preview window" the music plays but it starts to freeze up premiere. It doesnt let me stop the song or anything, so i have to close out of premier each time. Im not too sure how to get my audio to match the 48000hz that the 1080p mode requires, nor if thats what i even need to do to fix the problem.
I can also not that while the music is playing one can see the time running along the timeline, but i play the song its not running down smoothly its glitching. Ex. instead of (00;01;01)00;(01;02) its jumping like (00;01;01) (00;02;24) (00;03;12) etc...
This is driving me crazy so any help would be much appreciated.

Captivate 6 randomly dropping imported audio from slides during publish.

I think I remember this occurring in 5.5 as well, but only very occasionally. In this (my first) cp6 project, it's occurred 3 times already.
What occurs is that upon viewing the output (.exe), one slide will just not play the audio imported to it, although the slides before that one and the slides after it play their imported files.
I have re-published the project 6 times, and in two of those new publishes, it has dropped audio in a different slide, and played the audio on the slide where it previously did not play audio.
The imported files play just fine in all slides during preview in every case, so it seems to be occuring at publish. These are straight Audio > Import to > Slide wav files.
Anyone else see this?
At this point I just have to keep re-publishing until I get one that plays all files and call it a day.

Hi, Varun.
I finally got around to updating to 6.0.1.240 this morning.
The audio issue seems to still be there....it still drops imported audio from certain sildes, randomly. It changes with every publish.
THEORY: I noticed that on one of the slides where audio didn't play, the audio file contained a small silent region before the narration began. Maybe .3 or .5 seconds. I removed that silent portion so that the narration starts almost immediately (i.e. less than .2 second seconds of silence.) and for that slide, the audio did play at publish. So perhaps something in the playback exe is ignoring any audio that starts "too late" into the slide.... ?
I am now going back to check the audio files in every slide to remove any preceding silent passaages, and see if that cures this. Will update with my findings.
Another issue I noticed is that my background loop randomly stops playing. (This may have been in the previous build, too, not sure.) Not sure if this is in any way related.
If I pause and un-pause, the background music returns (starts at beginning of loop), and then stops again.. I verfied that "Loop Audio" is turned on.
Thanks.

Importing a 512 sequence into a 1080p sequence

When you edit a sequence in 512 and want to render out in 1080...do you have to make a new 1080p sequence, then imoprt the 512 and render it out for full 1080 quality? Also, if you don't render your files, does this prolong the export process in Encore? Basically what I'm asking is are rendered files only for playback purposes?

I started with 4k red footage in a 512 red sequence
Did you use the Source Settings menu in CS4 (see above image)
to set your 4K footage proxy resolution to "Eighth" (512x288),
then create a 512x288 sequence to match the proxy settings?
then brought it into a 1080 red sequence
If the answer to the above question is yes, am I correct to assume
you copied and pasted the proxy resolution media from your
512x288 proxy resolution sequence to your 1920x1080 sequence
then used the "Scale to Frame Size" command?
Some of the nested sequences translated great, but a few of them looked like 512 again.
If you did use the Source Settings menu in CS4 to set your 4K footage
proxy resolution to "Eighth" (512x288) for editing in CS4, did you then go
back and reset the 4K resolution to "Full", save the project, quit application
and reopen project to apply settings to all clips before trying to open the
project in CS5?
Edit:
My 4K workflow in CS4 was to use a full 4096x2304 sequence setting
with proxy resolution media Source Settings, and "Scale to Frame Size".
After editing is completed I would return to media Source Settings,
set the resolution to full, save, exit, reopen and render.

Unable to monitor audio during capture

I'm using FCP6 to capture footage shot with a JVC GY-HD100U at HDV 720p24. I'm using a JVC BR-HD50 deck to capture from, connected to my MacPro 3 GHz quad via firewire.
In the Audio/Video Setting dialog box, the Sequence Preset is "HDV 720P24". My Capture Preset is "HDV", Device Control Preset "HDV FireWire". Video Playback shows "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)" and offers only the options of None and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview–Main as alternate choices. Both HDV options are greyed out. The Audio Playback option is set to Default.
With this setup, controlling the deck remotely from the capture window, I get video but no audio. The only audio I get is when the deck is connected to my video monitor and I use it to monitor the output of the deck. The audio is there when I play back the clips after capture but I cannot monitor the sound with the computer's speakers. If I go to the A/V Devices tab, under Video, it shows the same "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480) with the same choices described above, and the Options button next to it doesn't do anything.
Can anyone think of anything I've missed in the initial setup?

Keith,
For whatever reason (perhaps the intense processor needs) HDV does not allow you to monitor your audio during capture. The computer just will not do it. What I have done, if I really want to hear what's happening durning capture, is plug my speakers into the headphone jack of my XL H1. Due to the processing that's going on, the audio "lags" behind the video by a couple of seconds.
I'm pretty sure this is not a setup problem, but just a limitation due to the nature of your format.
Hope that helps!

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.
John

... 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.

Adobe Premiere CC 2014 - droping audio during multicam

Hello all,
I have an issue with Premiere CC's multicam and it seems to be dropping audio during switching of cameras in mutlicam. I have not figured out what causes this since it only happens about 4 times per one hour clip, totally random. Now I don't see any wrong settings, but with expanded view I also see that the waveform is missing:
Any ideas on how to get the audio back, not sure what happened but any ideas are appreciated. I have already re-rendered the audio so I'm guessing it's not a cache problem. The audio is a direct input from the mixing table and is full with no breaks through the video.

OK I have finally figured it out. Apparently the bug occurs if you "refix" the multicam. Example I was not happy with the selected camera went back and reedited it. Premiere then becomes a 62yo cafeteria lady, whom is 1 month away from being retired and a kid says he doesn't eat a certain food and she just fixed everything up and serves him.
What happens is the 1st time around I used example camera 1, did not like what I was seeing went back switched to camera 3, Premiere switched the audio to Camera 2. It always chose the third audio that wasn't the video (Example nr. 2: I used camera 3 switched to camera 1 Premiere selected the audio of camera 2). I've set the multicam to use only Audio Track 1 and the rest are all nonexisting, since I wanted to use only the audio that was a direct input from the mixing board not from the mics on cameras, that is why the drop happened. Now why Premiere does this is anybody's guess, but the way to fix this is to simply go to the parts where there is no audio clicking on the audio while holding ALT, going to Multi-camera and choosing the right audio source, as you can see from the screenshots below.
Of course there is one problem left unsolved and that is how to prevent this from choosing a random reedited multicam clip when you turn off or restart your computer, simply put you cannot. So my advice for anyone looking to solve this is 1st find the clips that are problematic then change the audio sources, and just make the encode. Other than that it can be solved with a little fix, just replacing the audio in the original sequence with the one you want for every camera, but then a 1-2ms buzzing noise comes in whenever you change cameras in my case working on a rock concert where mostly the camera changes every 3 sec it starts to sound like a bee hive in a matter of minutes, and I have no fix for that at the moment.

Why can't I import audio content from a Pana LX5 MTS file?

Hi,
Awesome as the new video capability is in CS6 (the ability to add image filters is to die for!), I have encountered a problem.
I can import the video component from a Panasonic LX5 .MTS AVCHD Lite video file. But the audio isn't included and I can't bring the audio content into an audio track by importing separately.
When I import H264 .MOV, taken with my Canon 7D, audio is included in the video import and I can also import audio from another, similar file to an audio track.
Is there some special trick involved with AVCHD Lite format video? Has anyone else succeeded in importing audio from an .MTS file?
Kind regards,
Joachim Smith

You aren't the only person: also fails for me, Windows 7 64-bit. Audio doesn't play in CS6 Bridge either, although audio plays in Windows Media, so I assume system has correct codec installed.
I think this might be a bug, here is a .mts file for others (or Adobe) to test with: http://www.newae.com/00012.MTS

Cannot find the maps stored in import manager during port creation

Hi All,
I am unable to find any maps that i saved in import manager during port creation ,the maps are not showing in dropdown list during port creation in console.Do i need to store the maps that i have in import manager in specific place under mdm server,so that i can see them during port creation.
All i need to do is assign my import map during inbound port creation,but i cannot find any maps in console.
Could I know whether i am storing my maps some where other than default location.
Thanks
Aravind

Hi Aravind,
First of all check the remote system assigned to ur Port. After that go to import manager. When u logon to the import manager, u get a window "Connect to source". Mention the same remote system over there.Select the file type.Browse the file and map the fields,values,field matching and save the map. then unload the repo and assign the map to the port.
Second way is, u create the port first and give any particular remote system to it. Put the file (u want to use for mapping) in the ready folder of that port and in connect to source window select the type as port, remote system(ame as used port port) and port.then map and save. unload the repo and assign the map to port. Ready folder will be in ur server at location: C drive or D drive->SAP MDM 5.5 ->server->distributions->repo name->inbound->port code->ready. For this option, Ur port type should be manual. After assigning the map u can change it to automatic or keep it manual as per ur requirement.
Hope this solves ur problem.
Regards,
Dheeraj.

Sound import to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and need rendering!!!

Anyone know why an aif sound file from Pro Tools imported to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and needs rendering? It is like FCP is converting it to another freq. when it is 48k already! I do this all the time with NTSC and 23.98 projects, what is up with the 25 frame seq.??
Thanks, Mark

Your audio files must be 48,000 kHz AIFF files if you want to use them in Final Cut Pro.
If the originals are coming from CD's they are 44,100 kHz.
Resample in Soundtrack Pro or convert in QuickTime Player.
Your location says you are in LA. Why are you working in in PAL?
I know that things need to be at 48K this would not matter anyway if it was 44.1 FCP would do the conversion and not make it out of sync in an NTSC Timeline, but a PAL timeline FCP screws with the sound file. The files came from pro Tools, the industry standard should mixing.
I put them through Sound Track Pro and it did not help.
LA is the entertainment center of the world, we send project all over the world.

Can I use 4k footage in a 1080p sequence, then export 4k without resolution loss?

Hi,
I cut a 1080p sequence using 4k footage that I scaled down in the Effect Controls window. If I export that sequence as a 4k file, will Premiere compress that original 4k footage to 1080p, then expand it back to 4k in the exported file (please say no)? Or is Premiere intelligent enough to interpret the export scaling using the size of original footage, rather than the sequence size? (Hope that makes sense)
Of course it's wise to create a sequence based on your delivery requirements, but sometimes clients change their mind and I don't feel like rescaling every damn clip. But thanks for the advice
Thanks!
David

Premiere will export to the settings of the timeline / sequence you've created. It doesn't matter what formats you've used withing that timeline. So if you use 4k in a 2k sequence, Premiere sees it as a 2k sequence and, without user intervention, will export at that format.
Obviously you can up-scale during export but i) why would you want to do that when you've previously down-scaled and ii) anything above 100% magnification will begin to pixelate.

Pictures importing out of numerical sequence

Import Audio Files Into iPhoto

This is really a 2 part question.
I have been recording a few sound clips with a small digital pocket recorder that are family stories like "Remeber when Aunt Mildred lost her teeth?" etc. So far the only way I have found to get them into the Mac is as a Quick Time movie. It works. Naturally if there is a better way I'm interested. So the first question is: What are the ways to import small sound clips (Garage Band is my least favorite option).
On a regular QT movie, I can import them into iPhoto. But iPhoto refuses to import audio only movies. Having these in iPhoto would let me catalog these sound files in iPhoto along with the other photos and other digital camera short movies. So the second question is: How can I import sound clips into iPhoto?
By the way, setting "Open With" in the information viewer of a file [Command I] to open with iTunes get these clips into iTunes just fine. Why not a movie into iPhoto?
Has anybody else crossed this bidge before?

There are various apps that might help with working with these sound files. What format does your recorder use. Personally I use Audacity as a sound editor (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) it's Open Source. For capturing sound that's otherwise difficult to get I use Audio Hijack (http://www.rogueamoeba.com).
When QT saves the files they are saved as .mov files, and while the Finder calls them QucikTime Movies, they are not, and iPhoto will not import them unless they have a video element. Of course, they import perfectly into iTunes.
Some suggested solutions:
Make slide shows of Aunt Mildred, and for a soundtrack use the story of unfortunate teeth, simply by pointing to the relevant track in iTunes.
Make a movie. If you have quicktime pro it's quite easy and fast to paste some pics of Aunt Mildred to the Soundtrack. It's a little slower - but you have more options - to do it with iMovie or with PhotoToMovie (www.http://www.lqgraphics.com)
But in any event, it's only by having a movie that iPhoto will wok with the files.

How to add audio to image sequence?

I've imported a Photoshop image sequence into FCP X 10.1.1. Dropped it on the timeline, created a compound clip. So far I can't figure out how to add audio of any kind. I've tried starting over, making sure properties had audio setting enabled. No change though. No matter what I try, no audio tab in the inspector. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Michael

Are you importing an audio file that is seperate? Otherwise it is attached to your video. in the timeline, choose expand audio & video. You can import almost any format. Import it into the same event that you are in - a song from your desktop or from your folder where you copied all your contents from your camera card or music from ITunes (in which case you use the audio tab on the far right of the timeline UNDER THE INSPECTOR).
How did you import your media?:

Import audio to iMovie via GarageBand

In the 2012 version of iMovie for iOS it was possible to import audio from GarageBand via the Open In menu. This option seems to be broken in the 2014 version. Nothing happens when I get sent from Garageband to iMovie, before I could select which movie project to open the GarageBand song or audio in.
Is this a known bug?

Externally imported audio - synchronisation in FCE HD

Greetings all. I have two G4 Powerbooks with FCE HD 3.0. I record videos on a mini-DV camera and audio externally in Logic (musical performances) and import the audio from Logic and want to sync it up with the waveform from the camera audio. Because making Quicktime Movies for utube is a long process I like to set one machine at this while continuing to work on the other. However while on my main machine there is no noticeable synchronisation issue, on the second machine longer takes eg a couple of minutes start to be problematically out of sync by the end.
I normally record in Logic at 44.1 KHz and assuming this to be to do with FCE wanting a sample rate of 48K I just bounced down a couple of samples at 48 and tried those but playing back in the timeline at least there is still the sync problem, so I suppose it will still be there when I make the .mov file.
So is there something about the settings on the second machine that are different and are causing this problem please? I have of course looked and not found anything that seems to apply. How should I have things set so that I can get proper synchronisation?
Many thanks
Stephen

Ah thanks, hadn't looked in the Sequence. There it says Aud Rate 48, Aud Format 32-bit floating point. The camera's audio is 48K and 16 bit, the imported audio, with which it does not sync after a while, is now also 48 and 16. The camera audio data rate is given as 6.9MB/sec and the imported as 187.5K/sec. The camera's audio, for removal of doubt, is perfectly in sync with the video.
I looked in a FCE project made on the other Powerbook, with some long takes, and the settings are all the same except that the imported audio is still at 44K.
I might add that the convenience of using this other PB is not simply a time saving issue, its an old one I feel comfortable taking places and working on things when I'm away, whereas the main PB is plugged into all sorts of things and I'd rather keep it here. Not least, that's why its still working perfectly 7 years later...
