A very unique Video & Audio Link Prob

Hi, i've been thru a lot of the Q&A to try to resolve my prob but gave up. This might be a 'newbee'.
One , lone clip on my timeline won't link. I've tried to link the vid & audio via the 'Shift+L" shortcut key and nudda. I've also tried via the edit/modify menu but the link options are not available (greyed out).
I've noticed that the Vid track is not underlined where as both audio tracks are?. This may be a big clue to solving the mystery?
Weird & frustrating!!!

Shift+L is for toggeling Linked Selection (the button left for the snapping button in the top right corner of the timeline window)
Keep that Linked Selection button toggeled (green). Then make sure your clips are linked. If you still have problems, it might help to trash your FCP Preferences. That can be done manually (/Users/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/), or you could use an application like FCP Attic or FCP Rescue. Remember to quit FCP before you trash the preferences.

  • Help-Very bad video/audio delay with China user

    I am using iChat with snow leopard in U.S. and my son is using iChat from China with leopard. We can bring up iChat. He can see and hear me clearly, but there is about a 10 second delay. I can see him but the video is very pixelated, blurry, and slow. His voice is delayed and somewhat garbled.
    He has wireless internet in China, but I'm wondering if there's something we can do to improve the video/audio. We are both fairly new to the Mac, so any help is appreciated.
    Thanks for the help!!

    I have linked a Search.
    However the issue goes back further than the current Forum Software and the early ones are not accessible.
    It may also pay to change the Criteria of the Forum option to read iChat 3 and see if there are any others. (I think Sandra posted in iChat 3 but took longer to update to Panther)

  • Video & Audio Linked Tracks Will Not Modify Together - FCP 6

    I have a weird phenomenon w/FCP 6. When attempting to modify the length of video and audio clips that are linked (even Slug from the Generators area). I can only 2 either the audio or video, not both. Is there a setting which I need to modify? I would prefer to do this rather than re-install the whole thing. Thanks.

    Clips that are linked have their names as undelined text in the timeline.
    Clips that are not linked haven't.
    So Check if they are linked. If not. Select and use Command L to Link.
    AFTER that. Linked Selection can be switched on and off.
    When Link is on. Then clicking on a Videoclip selects Video AND audio.
    When Link is off. Then clicking on a videoclio selects video ONLY and NOT it's Linked Audio.
    To toggle Linked Selection On and Off use SHIFT L.
    edit: oh, almost forgot. ALT clicking on a clip toggles temporaraly (as long as the ALT is being pressed). This way you can also easily trim edges that are linked, while linked selection is on. ALT click and drag on the cut then only trims the track (audio OR video) that you selected.
    Probably you are aware of this all. I just want to make sure...

  • Video/ Audio linking

    When I move the video in a sequence, the audio does not move with it, even though the clips are linked. Is there something I am missing???? New user to CS3 and never had this problem with earlier versions

    It's also an oft overlooked fact that one can rename tracks. If you want a visual relationship between a video and an audio track, rename them to something that makes sense to you. ;)

  • Video audio sync prob. using 9-and hd camera

    K so here is my problem: Using E-9 with a JVC GY-HD 100 camera.  after I import the audio is off.  What the hell!  The audio and Video are synced on the tape so it has to be the program.  Do I have settings wrong someplace?   Help.  And TY in advance.

    You're trying to edit video from a professional $3000 camcorder on a $75 program? What the hell!

    When you started your Premiere Elements project, which settings did you select?
    Did you use Premiere Elements Get Media tool to capture your video?

  • Why is video clip linked to adjacent clip's audio?

    When I highlight a video clip in the timeline, the adjacent clip's audio, is also highlighted (not that of the clip it is associated with). I've checked and the link icon (interlocking chain) is green (active). So not sure if video & audio have become unlinked (for all clips).
    Is there any way to associate a clip's audio with its own video (instead of the one next to it)?
    Thanks!

    Unlink it from the current association (opt or cmd L - I can't remember right now), then select the ones you want to associate with and opt-or-cmd L...

    I just downloaded a PHP script plugin and I'm having a very difficult time installing it into my site.  HELP!  Dose anyone have a good video tutorial link?

    Unfrotunately, this sounds like a dead TC.
    - also, the picture does NOT pick up the 2 airport expressess in the house that I used to extend the wirelass network on the previous TC
    - there is no option to extend the wireless network
    You need to reconfigure the Expresses to rejoin the TC's network via a factory reset.

  • Very poor video quality after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1

    MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
    I have very poor video quality after transcoding the video file (MPEG) in  Adobe Encore CS5.1. Below you see my used settings in my filmproject.
    The problem exists after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1. I checked all steps and found out that there is no problem until transcoding. My exported file  in MPEG has very good video and audio quality.
    Facts:
    1. Camcorder: Panasonic AG-AC160AEJ
    Operating System : Windows 7, 64 Bit, Ultimate edition
    Source files: MTS files
    Recording settings (clip settings):
    Type: MPEG Movie
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate: 25,00
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
    2. Sequence settings in Premiere Pro
    Sequence was created from Clip directly with settings above.
    3. Exporting settings in Adobe Premiere Pro:
    Match sequence settings was activated. Now other changes were set.
    4. Exported File:
    Video
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Data Transfer Rate: 25920 kBit / s
    Frame rate: 25
    Audio:
    Bit rate: 384 kBit / s
    Channels: 2 (stereo)
    Frequence: 48 kHz
    5. Transcoding settings in Adobe Encore:
    I used different transcoding settings such as automatic DVD Transcoding, CBR and VBR.I also set “use maximum render quality”. But all results were always the same: very poor quality.
    Why does the encore transcoding cause such bad video quality?
    How can I solve this problem?
    Please help me soon.
    Best regards.

    Hi Ann,
    1) I did not only „Automatic (based on source)“ options in my tests, but also many other customized options.
    The results are very poor. I have done a new test with the following settings. The result is also poor:
    Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_mpeg2dvd_1.m2v
    Export Settings:
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Preset: Custom
    Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video, Quality: 5
    Frame Rate: 25 fps
    Field Order: Upper
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic (based on source)
    Render at Maximum Rate: [active]
    Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
    Minimum Bitrate (Mbps): 5
    Target Bitrate (Mbps): 9
    Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 9
    GOP Settings
    M Frames: 4
    N Frames: 12
    Use Maximum Render Quality: [active]
    Multiplexer: None
    2) Why shouldn’t I use the “Match Sequence Settings” in exporting? Because of the big output file size?
    I used it and the results are very good as I expected:
    Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_MatchSequenceSettings.mpeg
    Export Settings
    Match Sequence Settings [selected]
    1920 x 1080, 25 fps, Upper, Quality 50
    User Maximum Render Quality: [active]
    3) I tried also Dynamic Link in PremierePro (to Encore).
    The results are also poor.
    4) I will test also LagarithLoslessCodec and frameserving +DGMPGDec. But the video is vertical long drawn-ot.
    I think I did not use it correctly.

  • Video/audio Stuttering on Macbook 13

    Hi All
    I have a mid 2007 Macbook 13 running OS X Lion 10.7.4.  all up to date.  Initially I had 4G's of ram ( I know it only reads 3 ) now I have it running on only 2.
    Problem is video/audio stuttering when running movies. mostly netflix and or connected to a flat screen tv. on wireless or wired connection.  but it also happens just running youtube videos or videos that I have on the system mostly in .AVI format.   I could be running movies with VLC or quicktime and same ting.  I've tried turning every running program off.  like firewall, little snitch, sophos AV, etc.  after turning them all off I do a restart.  I have done permssion repair, checked the disk, run the daily scripts,  even downgraded to SL to see if Lion was too much for the system and nothing.  of of the 4G's of ram that I have.  I swapped them to see if maybe one or 2 of them ware bad.  when I install the operating system, I do a clean install.  delete partition, format, the whole thing and bring it up to date.  not all at one time.  disk permissions repaired after each big updated.  almost half the time the videos will run ok and than it starts stuttering.  when is doing it.  not even the mouse responds in those few seconds.  is like something is grabbing all the system memory for a few seconds at a time.  it has gotten to the point that the system completly frezzes and I get that black translusent window that says the system needs to be restarted.
    I have about 40% free HD space.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The behavior you mention is typical of MacBooks with the GMA 950 video chipset and 64MB VRAM.
    The best solution I've found is to quickly pause the video and let the video load completely before watching, IF the website allows it and will preload the content. Not all of them do. Some sites automatically buffer before they begin playing.
    Watch in a window rather than full-screen.
    Watch content on your MacBook screen rather than a HDTV.
    The Safari Extension "ClickToFlash" lets you choose whether to load Flash content at all. It also allows 'preferring' H264/HTML5 web video content when available, and seems to be a bit better than simply defaulting to Flash content for every website.
    I have a mid-2007 MacBook 2,1 with 4/3GB RAM. It is the very oldest model capable of supporting Lion. After reading of performance issues with these older systems in these forums, I chose to remain on Snow Leopard rather than upgrading to Lion. Snow Leopard runs most things I do very well in 3GB. Lion really seems to need 4GB and would like 8GB, from what I read here.
    You don't mention how fast your internet connection is. A faster internet connection MIGHT help some. A wired Ethernet connection MIGHT offer a bit more throughput than WiFi. Worth trying out, especially if you have a friend with a faster connection where you can try before you pay to upgrade.
    Ultimately we're talking about 5-year-old computers. That's "ancient" in computer life cycles, and the best solution (not most cost-effective) is a new(er) Mac. It's not a problem unique to Mac. Old Windows XP systems lack the performance of new hardware running 64-bit Windows 7.
    New or recent Refurbs with 4GB or more RAM, faster video chipset, more VRAM, faster clock-speed, Intel "Sandy Bridge" (or "Ivy Bridge" likely coming soon) dual-core or quad-core processor, and, yes, a hefty pricetag to match. Anything else is at best a temporary measure to buy a bit of time (a year, maybe?) until you can purchase a new(er) faster better Mac.

  • DVD video/audio rip to FCP but skipped frames, why?

    Dear Pros.
    I am having an issue with frame and audio skipping on me through out the clips that I ripped from DVD video. DVD video is created by Panasonic DMR-6070. It is an educational lecture that we create at the university. We use DMR-6070 to master the video. DMR-6070 creates MPEG2 video in 325x480. I am able to rip the video using MPEG Streamclip as 720x480 QuickTime DV/DVCPRO NTSC video/audio with 29.97 FPS.
    When I bring the DVD ripped footage to FCP and start to edit, I noticed that every10 seconds or so, video and audio skips. I don’t know why it is doing this. The original DVD video does not have this issue. When I tried to export from DVD, I specified to 29.97 FPS. FCP is set to edit with DVD/NTSC settings with 29.97 FPS. The video should come into FCP without any hitch. But I am stuck…
    Also I shot the same footage with DV cam in different angle. I am trying to edit two footages using Multiefootage edit mode. The footages were cued up by IN point. However, videos start to become out of synch after 2 min. of footages past. So I am assuming that some issues with dropped frames.
    How do you work with DVD video and bring the footages into FCP? Do you see any dropped frames? Can you Multifootage edit with a mix of video sources?
    Thank you in advance.

    G4 Dual, PB 17   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    There is something very strange about the size of the MPEG2 files you say the recorder produces; the file size you quote is MPEG1 video not MPEG 2. this is the start of your problems I would think. I have a number of Panasonic recorders and they all produce 720x540 in standard mode PAL
    I trust you are NOT using the Extended Play mode on the recorder, the 6hr setting?. This will really muck things up if you are.
    I get excellent results from video recorded on the Panasonics, taking account there is a quality drop by converting from DVD.
    I convert to DVD to Quicktime using DVDxDV, edit in FCP then output to DVD again and never have problems.
    Try a test using the free DVDxDV tryout application and see what results you get.
    As to dropped frames in editing the DV cam I assume you have the basic configuration for using FCP:
    - you are capturing to external media drives, not the system drive
    - have the correct version of QuickTime for the version of FCP and the OS you have
    - you have the same AV settings for both sets of footage you are trying to edit on the timeline - FCP will not edit different setups in the same timeline
    see this link: www.DVDXDV.com

  • Unlinking multiple Video/audio clips

    Coming from FCP I'm used to doing certain things as part of the workflow.   One of these is being able to link / unlink multiple video/audio clips at the same time to that I can selectively delete or disable the audio if I'm running a second audio recorder or perhaps mixing a backing track.
    In PPro it seems like as soon as I select more than one clip the 'Unlink' option is grayed.    How can I select (say) 10 clips, unlink the audio from the video so that I can delete or disable it.   The reason for disable is that I may want the ambient sounds later on in the mix, but if I disable this audio without unlinking I also disable the video.
    I don't want to keep moving stuff on to more and more audio tracks and then have to mute the track, that's time consuming and a pain.   All I want to do it unlink multiple clips.
    This can't be that hard can it ?

    You don't need to Unlink in order to Delete.  Just hold down the Alt key while selecting the audio portion of the clips.
    You can 'disable' the audio by turning off the entire track, which is very easy to undo if you ever want the audio back.
    It's a slight shift in work flow, but the end result is the same.

  • IChat video/audio fails to work

    iChat video/audio fails to work 90% of the time. The error message says the other party failed to respond, or some other, similar, bogus "communication error" message.
    Invitation to video or audio chat fails 100% of the time with certain buddies of mine, and anywhere from 50% to 90% of the time with others, regardless of whether they invite me or I invite them. Changing ISPs, Macs, locations, or static/dynamic IP settings has made no difference.
    This problem surfaced with Tiger in the summer of 2007, and progressively became worse, especially since Leopard, to the point where iChat video/audio fails 100% of the time, unless the other user happens to be in the same [home] network.
    All of a sudden the problem went away since the upgrade to 10.5.6, and I was able to again use iChat video to communicate with friends I have not been able to "see" in a year and a half! However, the problem started again today, with the same bogus "communication error" message every time a video connection attempt is made.
    Screen Sharing also fails to work, 100% of the time, regardless of how it is invoked, through iChat or not, unless, again, it is attempted between 2 macs in the same home network.
    In the meantime, Skype video works fine all the time.

    Hi,
    Thomson-Alcatel by default do what is called Binding of SIP to port 5060
    This means ANY SIP data is forced to that port. iChat 4 no longer uses this port for SIP. It caused problems in iChat 2 and 3 which could be resolved when the firmware was Version 4 or earlier.
    How do I know ?
    Personal Experience from a Speedtouch 510v4 (running version 4.2.5 firmware)
    Hence the web page I linked you to.
    Built up from comments on the iChat 3 forum and the iChat 2 forum since 2004
    Search Results for iChat 3 (it will only go back to about Nov 14th 2005 when the software Apple Uses to run the forums changed - some active threads did cross over this date so occasional ones are older)
    Smaller results from iChat 2
    The work by iBoise in this forum and the ADSLGuide's Apple Forum
    Known issues for the BT HOME HUB in Britain as it is a Thomson-Alcatel inside.
    Because the fix on Page 4a in the orignal link I gave, worked until Version 5 firmware came out.
    As I clearly said the results can be intermittent.
    With non Speedtouches it tends to be a 10:10:30 split out of 50 Buddies
    10 you can get all the time.
    10 now and then Buddies and
    30 Never successful.
    The Original Version 4 Telnet command would make this 100% successful to non Speedtouch devices
    In Version 5 it becomes about 15:10:25 which only marginally better.
    Later versions of the firmware do not even seem to reach these figures.
    Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections are better but still not 100%
    I would guess you live some where where Speedtouch's are popular and have many Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections that fair slightly better than average.
    Last time I had contact with iBoise on this the Firmware was at version 7 and he was in the process of evaluating it for any changes.
    There has been no announcement. In this case I don't think No News is Good News.
    I hope this helps.

  • Needing a mini to video/audio edit/produce.

    been digging deeper and deeper into video and audio production and editing.
    currently im running a 24" imac 2.4ghz, 1gb ram, i use it as my everyday computer and i been playing around with some video editing and a good bit of audio production. (im going to eventually upgrade the ram in this thing)
    my question is, im looking to pick up a mac mini and run a dual display. this mini will ONLY be used for video and audio production. the video production i might add is nothing very over the top. just your simple credits, adding music, and clipping scenes. (im producing some how-to halloween prop dvd's and haunted house walk through) for audio production again, nothing very over the top.
    im looking to pick up a mini due to the price. a mac pro is way out of my price range.
    what do you think would be the best route mini wise to go for? 2.66? thinking my 2.4 has been working fine a 2.53 should be fine? and as for the ram. i planned on upgrading the ram to around 4 or even 8 gigs in the future. for the hard drive space, for movies and audio production im going to need something decent in size. thinking 500gigs i could always do something external in the future?
    i was also pondering the mini server, 2 500 gigs with 4gig ram and 2.53mhz. BUT lacking a super drive thats really no problem because im running an external lacie lightscribe.
    so im asking you guys/gals what would be the best route for me to take, price wise and bang for my buck to create a nice little video/audio machine?

    I also bought a new 3.06 Mhz IMac 21.5 in IMAC this spring. I was unfamiliar with the new miniport. I was on the phone with Apple Sales for buying a new MacBookPro and while ordering wanted to add on the cables necessary to accomplish connecting my new IMAC to my HDMI tv. I have been accustomed to connecting my old g4 laptop with adaptors and a long cable on end is HDMI and the other connects right into the video port out on my laptop. But the older method leaves you without sound.
    So...the Apple guy is in a hurry to sell me a computer and insists there is no Apple IMAC or MacBookPro which will work with video and sound to HDMI. I had the item in my inbasket at MacMall. I may be wrong. But I gave up on ordering it. I picked up an HDMI to HDMI extension cord at Best Buy and ordered the Mini video adapter to HDMI connector from Apple store. I haven't opened it yet or set it up. But what does one need to buy to make this work. Since the guy didn't help me. I had to buy it online separately. And since I had ready acct with Apple , just bought it there although it was about 15% cheaper at MCMALL.
    Please someone in the know or who watches their computer on their HDMI TV help tell me what cables to buy and where to connect them to my tv. I have a Sony Bravia and it has an internet thing on the side. I haven't used it for anything yet. I have cable/dvr,blue ray dvd, and input from laptop.
    Thanks in advance. Rheta in San Diego

  • IChat AV 3.0.1 - Help.  Can't Video/Audio

    Power Mac G5 Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Here's my set up: Power Mac G5 (Brand New iSight Camera as of Jan 20, 2005) SpeedStream DSL Modem from SBC. I do not have my FireWall on.
    Here's the problem: When a buddy trys to contact me for a Vdieo/Audio call I click their invitation video icon and my video windo pops up and I can see my pretty mug smiling and waiting for the call. At the bottom of the video image is a black rectangle which reads ' PREVIEW' . Anyway, I accept the call by clicking 'Accept'. In the transparent original invitation menu desplayed at the top of the video image it reads: Starting Video call from: [email protected] and on the right side of this menu bar is the Apple gray spinning Gear - which spins and spins and spins. I've let it spin for 5 minutes and nothing happens. I bet I could let it spin forever. The same thing happens when I try and contact someone.
    No my friend on the other line said that al he got was a gray video image coming from me.
    Well, that's it. Any help would be great. Thanks!
    TC

    Hi everyone,
    I might have solved the problem. I did change my PPPoE so my computer would handle the PPPoE connection and not my SBC SpeedStream modem. However, I still had the very same problem as before. I could not Video or Audio chat. I could send and receive files and text chat. As well, when I was invited to a Video or Audio chat when I accpeted the Apple Spinning Gear would just spin and spin and spin, forever if I let it.
    That being said, my friend in San Fran who was helping me sent me his iChat AV 3.1.1 (I had iChat AV 3.0.1) as soon as I downloaded iChat AV 3.1.1 and installed it, well, I could Video and Audio. It works perfectly. My guess is the iChat AV 3.0.1 didn't have the correct drivers for my Brand New iSight and the iChat AV 3.1.1 did. Anyway, my friend and I Video/Audio chated for about an hour with no pause or break...
    Now, I just need to know if my original modem setting will work for the iChat AV 3.1.1 - until I test this I won't say my question is answered just quite yet...
