Adding audio to simulation after it's recorded

My company is hiring a professional voice over artist to record narration. They want to sync this up to a computer simulation.
I have created simulations while recording audio; but have not added audio after the fact.
Any suggestions of how this can be most efficiently done?
Thanks!

In my experience, you are better off trying to synch the animation to the voiceover rather than the other way round. Hopefully, the scripting of the voiceover was carefully thought out so that it naturally follows the flow of the task. Otherwise you will need to add pauses in the audio at points where too much activity needs to happen on screen between the words.

Audio levels of added audio go wonky after burn

My final stage of imovie production is adding the soundtrack. I have done this with great success using idvd 4 and 5 in the past. However, I recently upgraded to 06 and problems emerged.
When I preview my imovie, everything is perfect, audio sounds great with nice audio fades and mixes. BUT, after I send it to idvd and then burn it, those fades and mixes are no longer smooth. In transition between clip, the audio level of the added material jumps way up then abrubltly goes away. As well, as an added song fades away to zero level, at the end it momentarily jumps back up to full volume and I cant even see why this is happening when I go back to imovie and look at the levels.
I have tried not fading songs through clip transitions, but I still get such problems, as I just described. This is very puzzling as I have faded audio through video transition in the past with ease. As well, I have a small side buisness where I sell my finished product and I haven't made a movie yet, since I 'upgraded' several months ago without experiencing these extrememly frustrating audio problems.
I hope there is some advice out there that will help me solve this.

Hello, steviesteve,
John is right....in the iMovie discussions there are lots of messages regarding sound problems in burned DVDs. Sound is fine in iMovie....no fixes, some work-arounds you might try. Sorry I don't have the exact links, but you can do a search in iMovie 6.

Crashing after adding audio clips

So I have had to rebuild my 50 minute vacation movie 3 times now due to the files become corrupt after adding audio clips. The audio clips are legit and not just downloaded from a random site. Happens with different songs not just particular ones.

Here is a good tutorial for how audio works. In your case, you want to drag and drop the music track on top of one of your video clips at the frame where you want the music to begin.

Audio shifts positions after recording?

When I record something using my mic, whether it be audio or an instrument, the recording shifts over a few frames once I’m finished recording, which means I have to go back and manually line it up perfectly each time. This is extremely frustrating, and sometimes it's nearly impossible to line the audio back up with the instrumentals. How do I fix this and make it so that the recording stays in the same position after I finish recording it?

I have just opened my original file has the problem. The wave file looks perfect but on playback there seems to be a double up on audio.
I know it sounds strange, but that actually makes some sense. What it means is that the .pkf file that Audition created (this is the quick visual display) is intact, but the audio it relates to has got itself misplaced. Now I'm almost certain that you have a HD problem, I'm afraid.

Help with adding audio files to page

I am using DW CS5. I have had numerous troubles adding audio files to any page. Please know that I am not at all computer savy when it comes to html codes etc. But I have been working with DW CS5 and have a functional website and my pages validate. That being said, please be patient with me if I am asking stupid questions or don't understand the solution.
Now to the problem....I originally wanted to add mp3 files...but I am not sure how to work with plugins or which plugin to use.
Therefore, I converted my mp3 files to swf and used the insert media file feature in DW CS5. But when I look at the finished page...I only see a big white box. Nothing happens when you click on it.
First question...which is the best method to add audio files?
Second question...what steps do I need to follow achieve the desired result?
Note: there is one validation error on this page and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.

Woohoo! I was able to resolve the issue including the validation issue. But I have a follow up question...
Currently if you click on the play button another window pops up which has the play/control/stop buttons to control the audio file. The attribute is set to new window. If I change the attribute to parent window, then the page that has the control buttons overlays ontop of the page with the link.
To get back to the original page, one must click on the back arrow near the address bar.
Isn't there a way to not have a separate window appear? In other words, the controls are embeded into the parent page?

Adding audio to Video Demo: Captivate 7

Hello, i have several questions about working with audio in a video demo in Captivate 7.
I have a video demo that was captured without audio, then the intended script changed signifigantly so the timing is way off (sometimes the video doesn't hold on a screen long enough for the narrator to finish talking, sometimes it holds too long).
Any tutorials out there for adding audio after the video demo is recorded, when the timing is all off and I need to hold on some frames longer than the movie does? I'm doing still screen grabs and inserting them as images for the duration of the hold, but there's got to be a better way!
Is there any way to add text-to-speech in the Video Demo (other than adding it in slide notes, exporting the audio file and then importing it to the background of the video demo?)
When adding audio to a Captivate 7 video demo, is it better to add it to the video (Edit Video Demo > Audio > Import to > Background) or to add it to the slide in the regular timeline? Pros/Cons? Best practice?
Thanks!

Are you un-checking "Edit Volume" before you play it?
Sue
Hi Sue, Thanks for your help, I am new to the Mac, so forgive me if I am slow!
I cannot find "Edit Voume".
I can find "Show clip volume" in the "View menu" is that the same thing?

Adding audio freezes footage

Morning. I recorded about 30 exercises yesterday on a Kodak Zi8, handy little camera, records to SD in .264codec. Just wanted to replace irritating background noise with some copyright free music before posting on line. Instead of FCP hassle and time, I thought this would be 'easy' with QT Pro. However, upon purchasing, everytime I add an audio track, the video freezes... but not only that but after constant searching on the internet last night, I could have added audio anyway without purchasing QT pro... so why do people buy QT pro??
Anyhow, hope someone is able to help. Happy holidays!
My QT is upto date (QT7 for my Tiger OS)

so why do people buy QT pro?
QT 7 Pro is many things to many people. For the experienced user, it is a "down and dirty" quick utility for the compositing, masking, application of certain filters, and the layering of audio, video, and other data, among other things. For the average user, it is more likely to be a means for quickly trimming, merging, and/or transcoding video content. For those who who don't want to spend the money, it is probably an unnecessary expense, since QT X, iTunes, GarageBand, and/or other free third-party applications like MPEG Streamclip or HandBrake may serve their needs.
Many buy it to simply express their individual creativity. Here is one example—a Christmas Card I made. To see many more examples of what you can do with it, check out QuickTimeKirk's site area.

Dead audio tracks generated after subclip created

I've had some issues relating to audio tracks in Premiere Pro CC. I'm currently editing a collection of shorts, shot on Red Epic at 5k, with a stereo guide track recorded to camera. After syncing the audio (4 channels), I removed the guide tracks then subclipped the vision and audio by selecting both, grouping them and then dragging them into a bin in the project window. Here's where it gets tricky.
When I place the new subclips on the timeline they suddenly have around 16 tracks of audio. So one track of sound, followed by 3-4 dead tracks with no sound, then 1 track of audio followed again by another 3-4 tracks of dead air (and so forth). At first I just saw this as a minor nuisance and continued to edit. Once finished I exported OMFs for the sound mixer who brought it into protools. What was a 16 track timeline in premiere has now become a 64 track project in pro tools. It seems again, each actual track of audio has had around 4 dead tracks added to it. Sure the math may be a little off but you get the gist. The issue is on Premiere's end as I've tried a couple of times now to resync the audio, create a subclip but every time it seems to generate a whole bunch of dead audio channels. Really can't figure this one out. Please help.
Working on a brand new iMac, OSX 10.8.4, 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3, GTX 680MX

This exact same thing is happening to me. This "feature" is exponentially duplicating empty tracks. Clearly this is a bug in the code designed to break merged stereo tracks out into individual mono tracks. These are not empty stereo tracks. They are recorded as mono tracks with audio in them but being "split" into multiple tracks, one with audio and the rest are blank. The problem is that Premiere is treating ALL tracks as stereo and creating a number of new, empty tracks for EACH track equal to the total number of tracks when you use the Merge Clip feature.
i.e. If I have 3 tracks of audio that I merge into a clip, it creates 3 tracks for each of those three tracks, resulting in 9 total tracks (3 with audio and 6 empty ones). 4 tracks in a merged clip creates 16 tracks, 5 tracks creates 25, etc.
I have tested this with stereo and mono tracks in a merged clip and the results are the same. I got interesting results when I merged stereo and mono tracks into the same clip. I had a single stereo track and 5 mono tracks. "Merge clip" turned this into 27 tracks. 5x5 mono tracks plus the original stereo track that was split into 2 mono tracks, making 27.
HOWEVER
This phenomenon has not occurred on every single clip in the film I am currently working on; rather, it has only occurred on most of them.
Specifically, this only seems to be occurring when merging clips including multi-track .wav files. There were a few scenes where the sound guy only recorded the two actors with lavs onto a single stereo track, with the actors split between the L and R channel. When the stereo track is merged it correctly makes two mono tracks out of the L and R channels. But every single clip I have come across since then where he also added the boom mike or a channel for a third actor, I get exponential track city.
The conclusion I have come to is that Premiere is recognizing these multi-track .wav files as separate mono tracks when you drop them on the timeline, but the "Merge Clip" feature is mistakenly reading each track in a multi-track .wav files as a "single multi-channel track" that needs to be broken up. I say "single multi-channel-track" because there isn't a word for it that I am aware of. A single track with two channels is called "stereo" but it is like Premiere is reading the four mono tracks as a single track with four channels, but then making it worse by thinking EACH track has a number of channels equal to the number of "channels" it thinks are in the track.
So again, it reads each track in a four track clip as a single track with four channels, then breaks each "channel" into four separate tracks, thus creating the exponential increase in the number of empty tracks. (3 tracks become 9, 4 becomes 16, 5 becomes 25, etc).
Going into "Modify -> Audio Channels" is a lame workaround because I shouldn't have to painstakingly go through every clip in a movie just to manually turn off tracks that shouldn't exist. Presets, as suggested, are only somewhat useful because the positions of the real audio isn't always placed on the same tracks. Their location is also dependent on the number of tracks being created. When four tracks are merged, the audio is located on tracks 1,6,11, 16 while the audio for 5 merged tracks is on 1, 7, 13, 19, & 25, with 6 tracks it is placed on 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, & 36. So the only way for me to know which tracks to suppress on any given clip is for me to open up the clip and visually determine how many actual tracks there are and which ones to delete. This is crazy. To go back and fix this after I've synced everything will probably take me days of work. If I had known about this before I synced everything it wouldn't have been as hard to determine how many tracks each clip had as I synced it. But I shouldn't have had to in the first place. This shouldn't be happening.
This is not a feature, it is a bug. Period.
Clearly, this could not have been intentionally designed, but it is a serious and crippling error in the way the program is interpreting the tracks with the code that was intended to just break out stereo channels into mono. Perhaps it is a miscue between the way the recording device encodes the multi-track .wav file and the way Premiere reads it. I don't know. I do know that the audio I am working with was recorded on two separate professional recording devices by two different pro sound guys in Hollywood so this isn't some amateur mistake. It is easily doubling the amount of work I have to do with my footage/audio before I can start to work with it.
Somebody needs to take another look at that code and fix this as soon as possible.
(Does this make any sense or do I need to clean this up for clarification?)

I am trying to simulate the robot voice synthesizer sound that is produced by that electronic voice simulator after someone as had their voice box removed. The vocal transformer insert in Logic Pro doesn't quite do it. Suggestions?

Try one of the Audio Voice Effects like Alien / Cosmic / Robot… etc. to start with…
Adjust the Settings in the Inspector to your liking…

Commit in procedures after every 100000 records possible?

Hi All,
I am using an ODI procedure to insert data into a table.
I checked that in the ODI procedure there is an option of selecting transaction and setting the commit option as 'Commit after every 1000 records'.
Since the record count to be inserted is 38489152, I would like to know is this option configurable.
Can i ensure that commits are made at a logical step of 100000 instead of 1000 records?
Thank You.

Issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010)

Since I got a new PC (Windows 7), I'm having an issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010).
It doesn’t happen every time, but randomly with many presentations...
In PowerPoint, right after I import audio (through Presenter) and click “ok”, I get the following errors:
Then, I can't get into the "import/sync/edit" mode, from the Presenter tab...
Already tried reinstalling Presenter, resaving new presentations, deleting the .ppcx/audio folders, importing the audio locally (vs from my network drive), etc.
Then sometimes, randomly, it will let me get back in and edit the audio, after numerous attempts…?!? I can't figure out what the pattern is, which is causing this new problem (never had this problem before, w/ my old PC - Win XP / PowerPoint 2003 / Presenter 6 & 7)
Anybody have an idea what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Mike P.

Hello,
I tried to reproduce this issue but I am not getting any error message. Please provide us following information; this might help to reproduce this issue:-
1) You are seeing this issue in PPT or PPTX
2) You seeing this issue in newly created presentations or its just old presentation which is not working properly.
3) OS and PowerPoint version
4) If this issue is consistent on any particular presentation then please share it.
5) Can we have exact reproducible steps
Regards,

Extra time after click in recorded PPT projects

I am trying Captivate 5 on Mac OS 10.6.5
I imported a power point presentation and added audio for each slide. I am advancing to the next slide on click.
For some reason, when previewing the project, AFTER I click to advance to the next slide, the current slide is silently displayed for 5-15 seconds before advancing to the new slide and the new audio starts.
I have checked the audio and there appears to be nothing AFTER the audio. That is, the "END" indicator on the timeline matches the length of the audio. It sits there until I click, then the extra time elapses (silently) then the new slide appears with the audio for that slide.
This is very furstrating - any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I spoke too soon!
The above fix worked for ONE of the presentations (#8) that had this issue.
However, when I applied this solution to the other presentation (#5) that had this issue, instead of opening presentation #6 as defined in the settings, it opened presentation #2!!
All other settings for the slide, publication, and button are exactly the same.
One of my largest frustrations with Captivate5 has been trying to work around inconsistencies like this.
However, I found a solution (rather kludgey, but it does work):
The problem seems to be with the "Continue Button" If the continue button is eliminated on the LAST slide of the project, the next project loads just fine.
I duplicated the last slide so that it is now the last and second to last slide. I left the button on the second to last slide and deleted it from the last slide. I deleted the audio on the last slide. Then I moved the timer of the last slide so that it only played for 1/2 a second. Then the next presentation in line (#6) loads fine, and the 12-15 second pause after hitting the continue button completely disappears.
As noted elsewhere, be sure that the fade-in on first slide and fade-out on last slide on your project File > PUBLISH SETTINGS > Project > Start and End are turned OFF.
The ACTION settings on your last slide (with NO navigation button) should be set to
On Enter: Continue
On Exit: Go to the next slide

Adding audio to menu

Using Reflection White theme and having problems adding audio to opening menu. Been successful adding audio to submenus.
I would like to have audio when dvd is played and waiting for user to select submenus and also have same audio play when user returns to main menu (title)

Thanks for the reply.
Bit confused.
Where is the "audio well"? What does it look like?
When I select the music and click "apply" nothing
seems to happen. When I then click on 'Menu" the
duration is set to max - 3.31 and volume is set to
mid way.
I usually drag and drop audio clips from the iTunes
directory.
The audio well is that little rectangle that is just to the left of the 'Menu Volume' slider. Be sure you have iDVD back to your main menu screen. After you go to 'Media->Audio->iTunesLibrary and select the audio, click on 'Apply' You should begin to hear the music you selected. Go back to the 'Menu' tab and look at that audio well rectangle. You should now see a little icon of an audio file.
Is the any function that shows what is attached to a
submenu? I can see the movies and slideshows that I
have dropped onto the menu/submenu.
Yes, just under the main screen there are three circular buttons. The left one is for activating the sound in the menus. It should be blue when it is on.
The middle button is a 'play' button that allows you to play your movie from the iDVD menu.
The third button is the Map button. Click on this one to see a diagram/outline of the structure of your menus showing what is within each submenu.

EOS 70D question - Is there live audio at the USB connector when recording video?

I know that the current version of firmware that I use (1.1) passes no audio out the HDMI jack while recording. Is there audio going out the USB jack that would go to the composite video adaptor cable while recording video? If so, I could use an attenuator and feed that audio signal to my monitor to monitor the audio output of the camera. Here is adaptor cable I have. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DPQ2XTC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks!

I have a solution, however this is for audio problems for conversations not for messaging. It may work for you too:
Open your finder and click on the "Go" menu at the top.
Then with it open, hold down the option key and the library menu option will show up, click on it (drag the folder over so you can easily access it later).
In the library folder open: Application support > Skype > "Your Skype Unsername" folder (the one with YOUR username)
Then you need to delete the config.xml file! After this restart Skype and the test call will work. Happy skyping!!!
If this does not work then try deleting skype and re installing.
