Add channel of audio after capture

I captured some HDV footage of an interview, started editing a sequence with it, and then realized that only the left audio channel (boom mic) had been captured, but not the right channel (lavalier). I have the right channel audio as an aiff. Is there any way I can add it to the master clip so that I can get both channels as I continue editing the project? Recapturing is not an option.
Thank you for any insight.

Select the video (with left ch audio) in the browser, then select the single right channel audio in the browser...command-click on either and select 'merge clips'.
You will be prompted how to sync the clips. If the clips have identical timecode, you could use that. If not, you would want to set inpoints or outpoints on the clips (which are in sync) prior to merging them and select either of those options.
FCP will create a new clip in your browser.
In the FCS1 (FCP5) manual, this would be found in Volume II, Pg. 48.

  • Looping audio after capture

    I'm capturing into CS3 premiere pro - Cannon Vixia HV30 and HV40 cameras, HDV 1080i30 (i60) project settings.
    When playing the video in the timeline after capture, the audio in many spots loops and repeats on itself.  The raw captured video when played via a media player works fine.  Any suggestions on audio settings or a fix for this problem.  Attached is a screen capture of my project settings.
    Thank you!

    What do you mean by "What setting are on the media"
    My media is mini dv tape with 16 bit audio.

  • Video is faster than audio after capture....

    This is a problem that keeps popping up here and there. It's weird. I will do a capture from a Mini DV tape to a external Firewire drive and when you play the clip in FCP the video is played faster than the audio. When you put it on the timeline the audio is the correct duration but the video plays much faster and then just has black to finish out the clip.... The really funny thing is that when you go directly to the clip in the finder and open it with Quicktime it plays just fine. But when you put it back into FCP (new project and everything) it will just keep playing the video faster than the audio...

    Ok so after converting it in the quicktime player to a NTSC/DV DVCPRO video at 29,97 fps I open it in fcp and it tries to stretch it and to be like a 720p video file. I am really getting annoyed with this crazy stuff. I will export a little segment and you can play with it. See if you can make heads or tails.
    Thanks.

  • Out of Sync Audio after capturing video

    I have a video that I captured that the audio is in sync during the capture by using audo preview but, when view it in the view window, the words are out of
    sync from her lips.
    The video was recorded on my sony pd150, 48k audio, and Im using prostudio2 on my new quad core.
    Havent had this problem before.
    What should I check or do?
    David

    Double check that the audio is actually 48khz (Aud Rate) and 16bit (Aud Format). You can check this in item properties or in a browser column.
    Captured clips have been known to come in with slightly skewed Aud Rates...like 47.998khz or 48.001khz, etc. If this is the case, just export as aiff 48k/16b and relink with the original video.
    Might see what your Main Menu pulldown lists under...Final Cut Pro / System Settings / Playback Control / Frame Offset.
    My frame offset is at '4'. This gives me sync while I'm working, but when capturing, you see it as out of sync.

  • No audio after capture in Premiere Elements Playback

    I am capturing video from a Sony DV camcorder using an s-video cable.  When I playback the captured video there is no audio.  I have played the .avi file in Windows Movie Maker and there is no audio there either.  any ideas??? 

    S-video is only a video stream -- so of course you won't get any audio!
    But more than that, capture from a miniDV camcorder should over a FireWire cable connection only.

  • No Audio after capturing

    i am trying to capture vhs tapes using a ADVC-100 DV converter into FCE i have no problems getting the video but no audio comes in at all, now i did plug the vhs to a tv just to check and see if i get any audio and i do, but FCE dosen't bring in the audio. i am at a stand still until i could figure this out.

    If there is no audio tab in the viewer when you open the clip from the browser then there is nothing coming into the application. FCE cannot capture video without audio so I can't see how this would happen and there would be no audio tab in the viewer.
    Please specify your full setup, OS, QT, FCE versions, computer, camera or deck, drives, and how everything is connected, also the settings on the tape and the settings you're using in FCE. There is only one correct setup for your system, if you specify the whole system we might be able to help you.
    You may need to reinstall the application and possibly the OS as there is something fundamentally wrong with the system operation. At least based on what you've told us.

  • Final Cut X will not recognize the 16 channels of Audio in capturing from Tascam Firewire Card IF-FW/DM MKII

    Older version of Final Cut still captures fine. Still in Snow Leopard so that we have capatability of older Final Cut to continue capturing with, but are up to date on all drivers from Tascam for the card.

  • AUDIO LOST AFTER CAPTURE

    Hi all. I am capturing from a panasonic gs 400 which indicates 16 bit audio captured ok. Tape plays back fine in camera with full audio. I have checked my settings on fce and they seem fine, pal 16 bit audio.
    When I start to capture the audio registers ok in the right hand audio meter. After I capture and play the clip in the viewer/timeline there is no audio at all. Running short of ideas to fix it, any clues?
    Many Thanks

    Hi Ian, thanks for taking the time to reply.
    I am using FCE 2.0.3
    I have captured video and audio before without any problems.
    The audio file appears in the timeline but there is nothing in it, the visuals are fine.
    It plays fine in the viewer and registers on the meter but there is no audio after capture.
    I do not seem to have the View menu>Video out etc, my system just shows view> video>reatime or firewire.
    Thanks Mick

  • Audio out of sync in premiere pro cs6 after capturing

    Hi, some of my footages are out of audio sync after capturing.
    I have an imac with 3.4 Ghz intel i7 processor, 16gig ram, ssd card  ( august 2012)
    I have a sony hvr-z1 with tape.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Good morning Lynn,
    I doubt this will help, but whenever I have issues importing tapes, I try
    something else. I double check the software's manual because
    sometimes, even if I have done the same thing several times, I add
    or miss something. If that does not work I close the program and restart
    the computer and camcorder and try again ... with a different tape. If
    that doesn't work I use a different program. I use an old HP workstation
    I paid $99 for on Ebay that's running XP and I capture with Scenalyzer.
    Then I copy file to a USB drive and input to Premiere. Sorry, I figure the
    problem is me, not the hardware or software and it usually is me because
    when the next project comes along PP usally imports fine.

  • Grouping a clip's mono audio tracks after capture

    Every time I drag a clip to the timeline, I have to click on the clip, and link the audio tracks as a stereo pair, which is really annoying. After a while, I realized that this is because whoever captured the clips forgot to group tracks a1 and a2 together, so now the clips all have two seperate mono tracks.
    Now that the clips are already captured, how do I group the two audio tracks into a stereo pair?

    Hey Red Truck,
    It sounds like you're pretty much doing everything right. My guess is that if your footage was shot, "logged and transfered" with 4 mono audio tracks (like a lot of HD tapeless stuff does, XDCAM, P2) then this little trick might not actually work. If your footage was shot, logged and digitized as 2 mono tracks (again, maybe the diff being a 2 channel miniDV tape as opposed to the common 4 channel HD stuff) the trick usually works. But truthfully, once in a while I noticed it doesn't work and am still unable to explain why.
    I kinda have a feeling that I've only ever used the trick on DV-NTSC and DVCPRO 50 two-channel footage and not on HD footage that typically comes in 4 channel mono off P2 and XDCAM.
    I'll try to do a test at my end and see if I'm even in the ballpark on this guess. I'm also assuming you're trying this on 4-channel HD footage since you mentioned "...(or four) mono audio tracks" in your post. If you are, for the fun of it, media manage an HD clip down to DV-NTSC with 2 channel stereo audio and try the trick.
    It does work as I've done it numerous times on shows in FCP when assist editors accidentally logged and batch captured hours and hours of footage as dual mono instead of stereo.

  • Audio and video out of sync after capture from Canon

    Help for a newbie please?  I have a Canon XHA1S and have a problem after capturing HD video.  After capturing a 40 minute clip, the  audio and video are out of sync.  Seems like there is about a 3 second difference.  The entire clip is like that in the source window; I made a couple of quick edits and have the same problem in the program window.  Tried exiting and re-opening PP, but that didn't help.  I'm running PP in CS6 on an iMac 3.4 GHz i7 with 8G of ram.  Thanks!

    I have NOT used it, but many say to try this for HDV capture http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm

  • No audio after using capture now to log files

    I'm trying to import some footage into final cut pro but having trouble getting the audio to work. I'm using my camera as a deck and I can hear the sound coming from the camera, I can also hear it when I'm logging/capturing and when i'm using capture now. someone had suggested that I turn off the audio in the sequence and canvas. I'm not sure how to turn it off in the canvas but i tried turning it off in the sequence and I still don't get audio after I capture the clips. Any ideas/suggestions?
    thanks

  • Audio is out of sync after capture.

    I'm attempting an firewire capture from a DV source. When I'm logging clips and previewing them, the sound is fine, but when I view them after capture the audio is out of sync. I think I'm having timecode issues, is there any way around this?

    I tried watching them in the timeline and viewer, all out of sync. No external monitor. I did get a message once about dropped frames and something else, it said I might have these issues, but it didn't tell me to change settings, just told me it was gonna happen, lol. So, I don't know where to start to fix it.

  • Audio dropping after capture

    I seem to be having a problem with audio dropping out after capturing. When I play the tape back in the camera the audio plays fine so I guess it was recoreded properly on the tape but when I play the captured footage back in FCP the audio drops out here and there. I am capturing from the camera which the footage was shot on (XL2). I've searched the forms for people with the same issue but can't find anything. Anyone have any ideas?

    Just to check - are you using FCP4.5 and have recently upgraded to OSX4.9? Because if so that could be the issue; it was for me for something very similar. In which case your options are to upgrade FCP or downgrade OSX.
    The other thing you could try - regardless of your system and version - is to capture using Vidi - http://www.mitzpettel.com/software/vidi.php (I only just recommended this to someone, I am not on commission honestly, it's free!)
    I have found that Vidi will sometimes ignore timecode glitches etc that FCP is annoyingly sensitive to.

  • DVC Pro 50 dubb with 4 channels of audio on AJHD1200AP deck

    I have captured Digi Beta footage at Prores 422HQ with 4 channels of audio using a Kona card through SDI. Is it possible to create a DVC Pro 50 master with 4 channels of audio (the 4 channels in the timeline go to the channels they are assigned to) using firewire. I have never been able to capture any DVC pro 25 or 50 from this deck using firewire. I have only been able to capture HD footage. Also would this be easier if I purchased the HD SDI/SDI optional card?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    maybe this does a better job of explaining:
    I edited a film without syncing the sound first, and the video files only had 2 audio channels.  After syncing they have 4, but when I import them back into premiere it only allows me to use to of the audio channels, is there anyway to get them back in to premiere with all 4 channels attached.
