Airplay - Video to TV and audio to wireless speakers.

My house is Apple House... MAC Pros, iPads, iPods, Iphones, Apple TV, etc...for every member of our family. I have a choice between moving away from Apple to Sonos for audio or make Airplay work logically. Which is streaming audio to speakers when needed. Practically, video to TV and audio to speakers. Therefore, is there anyone at Apple or in the user community who would know how to get this done. Isn't this only common sense? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks Vazandrew. I have already tried without success. As soon as video streams from the Macpro to the AppleTV to the TV, the Airplay compatible speakers go silent. There must be a small setup detail I'm missing. I'll keep on trying. Thanks for your reply.

Record video into finalcut and audio multitrack into logic in sync

Hi,
I'm an experienced logic user but new to video.
What is the best way to record video and audio multitrack!! synchronously?
Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro? We have two separate macs available.
-Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
-How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
-Do I need finalcut pro?
-Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
I currently work with a cutter who uses canopus but assign each video take to each audio take is so time consuming. There must be a better solution for video production.
Any feedback appreciated,
Thanks Eddie

I may be wrong about this, but AFAIK…
Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro?
No.
-Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
FCP is not ReWire compatible.
-How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
You can not.
-Do I need finalcut pro?
Maybe, but I can't say one way or the other. What is your goal with video?
-Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
You can record directly into FCP, either via FW or SDI (if you have supporting hardware)

Not familiar with Canopus, so I can't comment.
Any feedback appreciated,
Some editors find the term "cutter" to be an unfair characterization of what they do. We do waaaaay more than just cut out the bad takes!

How to I synchronize video from Imovie and audio from garageband?

I recorded the audio in Garageband and the video thru my video camera. I then captured the video in Imovie and attached the audio to the project from garageband. I can't seem to be able to synchronize both.I clicked on the green area and clicked "trim" and when the waveform appeared, I moved the handle back and forth, but video and audio never synced. I also went to my project and tried to pull the video or the audio back and forth, but it also never synced.
What are the steps to take to achieve this?

If you want the video and audio to automatically sync, Final Cut Pro X is the tool of choice, but it is more expensive than iMovie, and it has a big learning curve.
With iMovie, you can still do this by showing the wave forms and lining them up visually. There is a nuance that in iMovie, you must have video. You cannot have sound that exists outside a video element. For you, this means that if your GB track is the same length or longer than your iMovie video track, you cannot shift it side to side. This is easily fixed by adding some dummy clips before and after your video so there is room to slide the track back and forth. You can find these "Black Background" clips (and others) under the Maps tab.
I recently had to sync up some audio with video. Here is a post that explains in detail how I did it. It may help. Unfortunately, in my case, I was syncing the audio from 2 cameras. This is easier than syncing video with an audio track, but some of the tricks may still apply.
If anything still does not make sense, please ask.
One more thing. When you have an audio track like one created in GB, it is not simple in iMovie to delete a chunk of it and delete the corresponding video at the same time. Once again, this is a task better suited for Final Cut Pro X. It is possible to export your movie to the Media Browser and then continue editing it in GB, so that may be an option for you.

Simultaneous import of video via firewire and audio via in-line audio port

I have a converter that takes the S-video and audio input from my DVR then converts both to DV format, and then outputs via firewire. I hook the firewire up to my G5, open iMovieHD, and the application recognizes that as a camera and imports wonderfully.
Well, the audio comes through with a MAJOR buzz or hum. It's probably the converter, but the buzz/hum is not enjoyable.
So, I removed the audio from the converter, and the video converts wonderfully in iMovie without the audio. I have the audio coming in through my audio line-in.
I start to import my video, and iMovie starts recording the video. But I want to record the line-in audio at the same time. But when I switch to audio to turn on the input from the line-in, the video stops capturing.
When I start to capture audio first, then switch to capture video, then the audio stops capturing.
Is there any way that I can capture the video via firewire for one "track", and my line-in audio for the other "track", and have them play simultaneously in iMovie during capture??
Any help would be appreciated. thanks Adam

hey there badkitty 42,
i don't think you can do that. it sounds like your issue is electrical. try turning the plug around on each piece of gear in the chain & listen for the buzz. if it's not heard you've found the cause of your ground loop. you can also pick up some of the 3-prong orange or grey electrical adapters from Lowe's or Home Depot to see if you can "lift the ground" to get rid of the buzz. i'd try one on the convertor 1st. one last thing, do you have any flourescent lights in use on the same circuit or in proximity to where you're doing your transcoding? these are notorious for inducing 60Hz hum in audio & video gear.
good luck.

Intermittent Audio Thru Wireless Speakers

I am running a Mac Mini and all of the audio goes to wireless speakers. Wireless audio streaming device is a USB connection - one into back of Mac Mini and one into the back of the wireless speaker.
Audio works perfectly but after a while just cuts out. Solve the problem by adjusting the volume up (on the remote control or on computer) and after a few seconds the audio is there again. To be lost a few minutes later. Sometimes it fixes itself without touching any volume control. This occurs whether I am running music through iTunes or watching TV through EyeTV.
Had issue even before new upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Wondering if this is a MacMini issue or a wireless speaker issue?
Thanks. Miles

When I first set up the AudioEngine5 speakers I bought an Airport Express and used Airfoil. As you mentioned there is a very noticeable lag between the audio and video (a few seconds) on any video application whether it be TV through your PC or a DVD through your PC (which I use both).
The solution was to get rid of the Airport Express and Airfoil and order Audioengine's W1 (AW1) Premium Wireless Audio Adapter - see their website. One adapter plugs into the PC's USB slot and the other plugs into the speaker. Similar to a Bluetooth wireless connection - same principle. The range is pretty good and there is no lag between the video and audio signals whether you are watching a DVD or TV on your PC.
I am very happy with the overall Audioengine5 set-up. Value for money the speakers are very reasonable for what you get. The adapters up the price a bit but to get rid of amplifiers and wires, and have the PC as your hub for everything this is a great solution.

Simultaneously video to AppleTV and audio to Express?

Hi All, can I simultaneously stream the video output of a movie on iTunes to my projector connected to an AppleTV and the audio output of the movie to speakers connected to Airport Express? When I try to use multiple speakers in iTunes on my Mac it doesn't work. Only output on AppleTV runs, but nothing over the AirportExpress to my external speakers.
Thanks,
MS

Do I understand you correctly: the atv will send the movie audio (coming from the ipad via airplay) to the airplay speakers?
No, that will not work.
If playing content on the ATV, directly on the ATV with no iDevice involved, the audio can be sent to AirPlay speakers.
As soon as an iDevice is involved in sending content to the ATV, the option to send audio to the AirPlay speakers is removed.

Playing video AND audio through TV speakers using Mini Display to HDMI adapter

I have a late 2011 MBP and want to hear the sound of the videos I'm running on my MBP through the speakers of my LG HDTV. I have used a Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (model f2cd021eb) plugged in to my MBP with an HDMI cable running from it to my LG HDTV. The video shows on the tv, and sound plays thru the MBP speakers. I have used an off-brand Mini DispalyPort to HDMI cable (without any adapter) - that is, it plugs directly into my Mini DisplayPort on my MBP and the HDMI port on my LG TV. The video shows on the tv, and sound plays thru the MBP speakers.
System Preference > Sound > Output, selected LG TV (type HDMI) and the note that displays is "Settings for the selected device: The selected device has no output controls".
I open Audio Midi Setup. It lists Built-in Mic (2 in/0 out), Built-in Input (2 in/0 out), Built-in Output (o in/2 out), HDMI (0 in/2 out). The Built-in Output is selected by default. The source is Headphones (Format 44100 Hz, 2ch-24bit integer, ch master far left, ch 1 and 2 far right with value of 1 for both dB of 0 for both).
Upon selecting HDMI, the source changes to LG TV (Format 48000 Hz, 2ch-24bit Interger, ch Master, 1, and 2 to far left and unavailable to adjust).
Upon selecting Configure Speakers, I click left front and right front and hear sound coming from the tv speakers just fine...loud and clear.
I'm deployed overseas and getting products through the mail is really really slow!! So any insight you can offer would be great!!

I was wanting to do the same and was at the verge of following The Official Way (Apple dongle + HDMI male to male cable). But on the trip to the store, found a TechLink iWire TB male to HDMI male adapter cable for half the cost, bit the bullet and got it instead: http://www.techlink.uk.com/products/apple/iwires/iwires_mini_displayport_plug_to _hdmi_plug
First time use with a Hitachi TV was disconcerting. Used to the old VGA setup, plugged everything in (while the rest of the family was watching regular TV on the unit), fully expecting the Mac to recognize the external display and send the signal over. No go. Tried resetting the PRAM, rebooting the Mac, no joy. Was about ready to write the cable off as a bad POS, when in a flash of inspiration switched the TV's input over to its HDMI port. Lo and behold, the Mac switched res and started sending sight and sound over at the TV's native capabilities. Did not need to fiddle with any adjustments at all. Sound was great, display crystalline clear. Wowed the folks.
And if I switched the TV to another input, the Mac would immediately disconnect and revert to its usual settings.
So yeah, the cable can be a culprit, but so can whatever's on the other end of the cable

Video playback slow and audio drop out after render

Hi
I have downloaded a trial version of After Effects from the cc,
Problem is everytime I render ou,t the video playback is slow and the audio drops out
This happens with AVI or Quicktime files.
Using a Intel i5 quad core, 8 gig of ram 250 gig ssd.laptop
Render/export in Premire pro is fine.
Can any one help.
Regards Phil Green
Blue Room Media.

It sounds like you might be hitting the space bar in hopes of getting real time playback. Sorry, but AE doesn't work like that, because it does totally different things from an editing application like Premiere.
And if you've downloaded the tryout version, you really ought to learn how AE works... and a short description is "it doesn't work intuitively". You can frustrate yourself in a hurry.
But this can really help;

Problems synchronizing video and audio while using FME 2.5

Hello...
I use FME2.5 to deliver media to justin´s server for
broadcasting on the internet...
As capture video I use webcammax to capture video from files
avi and divx...
But somehow since I started using FME2.5 sonme videos are
perfectly sinchronized while streaming but others no...the audio is
not sunchronized at all...
I stream the media on justin in H.264 at a bit rate of
300kbps 25fps and 320x240 for video...
and audio mp3...
Is taht a way to synchronize it?
And do adobe have a complete solution of capturing video
files and streaming it to justin server?...
Thanks...

I too encounter similar kind of problem, but i am using Sony
HD handy cam which captures HD video and FME 3.5 for encoding, i
tried out both medium and high bandwidth options in it (FME 3.5),
vp6 and H.264 and i found vp6 was more ok in light of lip sync (AV
synchronizing) but there was problem with H.264 in both high and
medium settings..so is there any option to get synch with H.264 on
FME 3.5..???

Can I use apple tv to play music via wireless speakers?

Can I use apple tv to play music via wireless speakers without turning the tv on, or do I also need to purchase airport express device?

Well, this is a C&P from your link:
With Apple AirPlay and Audio Pro Wireless you can stream iTunes playlists and songs from your Mac, iPad and iPhone wirelessly to Living speakers or RX100 receivers anywhere in your home. Just connect our transmitter to an Airport Express and select your Airport Express unit as sound device on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Now let the music flow.

Airplay mirroring between my MacBook Pro and Apple TV (1080p one) has always worked fine until now. I only sometimes get video but usually just audio. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly!

Yosemite airplay video and audio stutter

After upgrading to the official Yosemite /not the beta version/ on my iMac 2013 and MBP the airplay streaming of video and audio through any of my two Apple TVs results in intermittent audio and video stuttering which can drive one crazy. Sound and picture are choppy no matter from which computer or to which apple tv streaming is implemented. Any advice how to fix this issue - airplay has become practically unusable to me and family....

You can see here that many people report for this problem.Unfortunately, OS X Yosemite has a minor bug and can stream correct video and audio to Apple TV via AirPlay. You can not do nothing expect to wait for next OS X update. I have same problem and can use my apple TV.
I don't know why Apple doesn't fix this before official OS X Yosemite release, because this problem was report in there beta program from many users.

How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

Keynote and Audio Idiosynchysies on iPad when using AirPlay

I have the latest version of Apple TV, iPad, and Keynote. We use it to project video via AirPlay on an Apple TV to projectors, and audio from the optical system of the apple TV to an external sound system.
My problem is that when I play video files through the included Photo app on the iPad, the volume is at one level. Perfectly set.
When I embed that same video in a Keynote presentation, it becomes super quiet (over half the volume). The QuickTime inscpector in keynote has it at volume level 10 (max), and I just can't figure out what is going on. Why the different levels?
The iPad volume level is not changed. The change occurs between the two ways of playing the video file.
Any ideas on what is going on and how I can fix this issue? I don't want to make two versions of the movie- one with normal sound, and one with super amplified sound just for keynote presentations.
Help.
Thanks in advance.
Z
