Aperture 3 -- External Video or Audio Editors

Howdy,
Has anyone been able to get the external editors Video or Audio to work in Aperture 3?
Aperture 3 video is set to FCP 7.x or Motion
audio to Soundtrack Pro 3.x
thanks.

The problem with iMovie, FCP and FCE is that they don't actually edit any files.
When you send a video to any of them it receives them and then what? As they are all non-destructive they simply record your edits in the xml file and go actually see the fruits of your labour you have to export from them. Rather like trying to use Aperture for editing an original file - it's just not designed that way.
QuickTime is a 'destructive' editor in that it actually works on the File itself, and that's why it can be used as an external editor.
thanks for your comment, tc
if what you're saying is true then using quicktime 10 in it's current version is pointless because it offers nothing that Aperture can't do already & renders that "external video editor" feature in Aperture 3 useless.
those of us that use apple pro apps to make a living are accustom to round-tripping non-destructively into other pro apps (been doing this for over 10 years) which was expected when apple announced that "...Aperture lets you designate separate external editing applications for audio and video clips..."
aperture has never been treated as a pro app the way the other apple pro apps work. i'm still hoping aperture 3 will be.

Cut audio from a video file and edit in an audio editor?

Using Pre 9 and a Nikon D7000 video file: Is it possible to cut the audio portion of a movie clip (where the audio was recorded in the camera and is part of the import), edit in an audio editor (I like Sony Sound Forge Studio), then paste it back into the clip?

I use Steve's method all of the time, and edit the Audio output in Adobe Audition. You will want to Export/Share to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and keep that format both going and coming back into PrE. Remember that you will be working with an Audio file, that is the full (or almost) Duration of the Timeline. When you Import that edited Audio file, give the program a few moments to Conform that newly Imported PCM/WAV for editing. I suggest not touching the computer, until Conforming has completed 100%, and the little progress bar in the lower-right of the GUI has disappeared. If the Imported Audio file is short, and your computer is fast, you might not even see that progress bar, but the Conforming has taken place, just the same.
I like to keep the original Audio on its Audio Track(s), and just use Window>Audio Mixer to Mute that/those Track(s), leaving only my edited Audio on its own Track un-Muted. This is a "fail-safe," just in case I change my mind along the way, and wish to revert to the original Audio for some reason. It is much easier to Mute-Unmute, than to gather up all of that original Audio again.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

When sending sequence to DVD or Print To Tape, resulting video is terrible. Audio OK. Canvas playback is fine, but external video bad. First time this has happened.

I've tried making a DVD via DVD SP, also Print To Tape and the results are inferior video. Audio is OK. Everything plays back fine in canvas. But external video results very low quality. First time I've had this happen and I've looked through all the settings I can find -- no clue as to what may be happening here. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm working with FCP 7. The resulting video, exported either to DVD SP or via Print To Tape, is poor. This is an HD sequence, converted to DV. I've done this many times before with fine results. What I'm currently seeing is not from the conversion. Are there are any settings/prefs that might be at fault?

External Video Audio Sync

Hi All,
I use an external monitor running though a Canopus analog video -> DV breakout box. When I have external video turned off, everything is perfectly in sync on the canvas. When I turn external video to 'all frames,' the canvas is off by a few frames.
I understand that there will be a slight delay when I'm looking at the external monitor since the audio is coming from the computers speakers. However, why does the canvas become slightly out of sync? What does one have to do with the other?
I found this line in another post:
"check the frame offset in the system settings, F/W is usually a 4 frame offset."
I'm not in front of my FCP system right now, but is this something I should look into? What is frame offset?
Thanks,
~ Jim

When you get to your system...go to Final Cut Pro / System Settings / Playback Controls tab.
Play around with the frame offset (FCP default is 4), until your computer monitor and external monitor are in sync.
...from FCS1 manual 1, p220...
"Note: Depending on your external monitor configuration, you may need to experiment with frame offset values to synchronize the external monitor and the computer display"
Running through the Canopus may introduce a different latency than the default.

New to iMovie, create live video and audio?

Hello, I am trying to create a video of a live musical performance to post on youtube and have figured out how to use the isight to get a video but can I use the biult in mics to record live audio with the video?

Hello, Nateomite
As Karsten says, you will certainly get better results and much more convenience with a camcorder.
However, if you decide to use your MacBook, the built-in mic can record audio with your video:
in iChat: iChat > Video > Record Chat records both video and audio.
in iMovie: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/10172.html
tells you how to record using your MacBook's built-in iSight (and mic.)
Other movie/video recording apps may work differently, but most allow sound with video.

No video or audio to HDTV

I have the 2007 13-inch white MacBook. I'm trying to connect it to my Sony Bravia HDTV which has two combined HDMI / audio inputs, one HDMI-only input and one audio-only (RCA jacks) input.
I bought an Apple Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, an HDMI-DVI video cable and a stereo cable (mini-plug to RCA plugs) at an Apple store to connect my MacBook to my HDTV. After connecting to the HDMI and audio jacks on either combined inout, I get a blank screen and no audio. Are there any settings I need to adjust on my MacBook? Is there anything else I need to do?
When I plug the audio cable into the audio-only input on my TV, I get sound from the MacBook. When I plug the HDMI-DVI cable into the video-only HDMI input, I get the desktop but no dock, no icons, nothing but the background screen of my desktop.
When I connect to either of my other two HDMI/audio inputs (video and audio on the same input) I get just the totally black screen and no audio.
Thanks for your help.

After connecting to the HDMI and audio jacks on either combined inout, I get a blank screen and no audio.
Generally there will be a setting on the TV to tell it whether to be looking for digital audio on the HDMI port or analog audio on the associated RCA-type audio inputs. But there should be a screen regardless, so I don't know why it's blank.
When I plug the HDMI-DVI cable into the video-only HDMI input, I get the desktop but no dock, no icons, nothing but the background screen of my desktop.
This is normal. It means the Mac is running in extended desktop mode and the TV is acting as an extension to the MB's built-in screen. If you go in Displays Preferences, you should see an Arrangement tab. Under that tab you will see two blue rectangles that are meant to represent the two screens. The smaller one associated with the MB will have a white stripe across the top meant to represent the menu bar. If you drag that white stripe from the smaller rectangle to the larger one, the real menu bar will then move to the TV and the MB will now be an extension to the TV as the main desktop.
An external screen can be run in a multitude of ways. One way would be to have the MacBook's lid closed and only the external screen running. Another way to run is with the lid up. In that case there are still two modes that can be considered. One is called mirror mode. Mirroring means the same thing is displayed on both the MB's built-in screen and the external screen. But the two screens can also be run independently. This is called extended desktop mode, and it sounds like that's the mode your set up is in now. Here are some links to Apple article that explains more about this.

With newer MacBook Air, sending both video and audio to an LG TV works fine, but I want to send the audio to a sound bar attached to the TV. Any way to do this?

I am trying to get audio to play through the soundbar attached to the TV for great sound. Works fine with Apple TV, but on the MacBook Air, system preferences will only find the TV speakers. If I change the settings on the TV to external speakers (the soundbar), then I get no sound at all. The HDMI connection does what it is supposed to do, providing video and audio, but the audio can only go to the TV. I don't know if you can go backward and send only video through HDMI and then connect to the soundbar through the mini jack ports on the computer and the soundbar. Any solutions will be appreciated.

its important to do this in the correct order so the camera will be senced by the Mac and to prevent the Firewire connection from electrical damage:
power down your Mac
connect firewire from camera to Mac
power on camera and insert tape in camera and play back
power up Mac
start QuickTime
File > Preferences > record tab
video source - select the camera you have
sound source - select the camera you have
quality - select device native
the video should show in the QuicTime window
a green line below video will show presence of sound-it will play through the speakers if they are selected in system prefernces
rewind tape and playback
click on red button to start recording

Timeline and External Video issues

Have an issue with output. My external video is not showing up to play from the timeline. I am getting neither audio or video. Have checked all firewire ports, used 2 different monitors, 2 different decks, 2 different firewire cable and even tried it without the external hard drive. It shows in the view menu that all frames are checked and the output is set to the correct monitor. Refreshing the external devices does not work either. Ran FCP Rescue. Still did not fix the problem. The Canvas window is sized to fit in the window. Capturing video and audio works great. Just output and monitoring it while editing. Can I get an answer. It is the latest FCP, 6.0.2. Is this a problem with the new quicktime 7.3.1?
This is an emergency. Any help would be appreciated.

You can't monitor SD without a 3rd party card.
Perhaps you mean the material is DV?
You don't send DV material directly to a monitor - you send it out via firewire to some sort of DV/analog conversion then to a monitor.
Perhaps your post was not clear?

Video and audio (in one direction only) deteriorate after about 90 seconds

I begin a two-way video chat as normal, both parties can see and hear clearly. After about one and a half minutes of normal video chat, the person on the other end suddenly starts getting a highly pixelated image of me, and they start to lose chunks of audio from me. Meanwhile I continue to get a very nice clear video and audio from them. We usually end up closing the chat, because they are unable to hear or see me enough to continue.
The first 1.5 minutes or so is always clear, it starts after that. I always receive good audio and sound from the other party throughout the chat. I have never had problems receiving video/audio.
It happens with most (but not all) people I connect to. I am in California, and I always have this trouble when connecting to a relative in Connecticut. I have the problem again with one relative in Sydney Australia, but not with a different relative in Sydney. These are just a few examples by location.
I have repeatedly tested my connection speeds, and I have good up and down speeds - more than the minimum requirements. (My speed today is 8200 kb/s Down, 1309 kb/s up).
I have also tried:
Checking my Quicktime settings - (set to 1.5 Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN)
Bypassing my Airport modem/router, by connecting directly by ethernet to my Comcast cable modem (which has no router built in)
Replaced the cable modem with a brand new one.
Changed locations - tried it at a friend's house, still had the same problem.
So, I think I have isolated the problem to my PowerBook. This PowerBook used to do iChats really well for at least 18 months. I have been having this issue for about 5 or 6 months now. I have no idea what the problem could be. Any tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Martin
My setup:
ISP: Comcast Cable (Cable modem)
Apple Airport Exteme Base Station
Powerbook G4 1.67Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HD
O/S: Tiger 10.4.10
iChat 3.1.8 (with Chax)
External iSight camera

With Comcast.
Try rebooting the Modem.
This seems to refresh the connection in some manner.
Also speak to them. They may not admit any connection management but thing may "magically" get better.

Adobe reader XI no longer plays video or audio embedded in PDF created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Help please!
Embedded video and audio content in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat X Pro does NOT play on some school computers after Acrobat Reader XI is installed. The media content played fine with Acrobat X. This is seen with both XP and Windows 7 machines.
Bizarrely, other machines with Windows 7 and XP play the video and audio content fine when Acrobat XI is installed.
Please help, as the PDFs are the delivery mechanism for a very effective literacy programme for children, and this bug has halted delivery for a considerable number of schools and thousands of children are in trouble!

Hi Raman,
I think we have found the source of the problem. It relates to how different browsers are detected by Adobe when updating Flash Player.
To make the videos play within PDFs either from DVD or on the hard drive, it is now essential that Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin (now version 11.5.502.113) is installed. (Adobe Reader 10 had its own internal flash player, so an external player was not needed)
We have discovered that, when Google Chrome is the browser, automatic updates of Flash do NOT download this programme. Flash 11 ActiveX is the only programme that is downloaded, and the videos do NOT play from DVD or harddrive.
Also, it is not possible to manually download Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin as this option is not presented to the user. Presumably Adobe have set it up this way, because the Adobe site recognises Chrome is being used, and assumes that the computer does not need the plugin flash player, as Chrome has its own internal flash player. However, other programmes may need it!
We went to FileHippo to download the non-IE version (even though we were using Chrome!) at
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
Then the videos played from DVD or harddrive.
I have not been able to test how this works with other browsers. I hope that Adobe can sort this problem out asap!
regards
Buffy

Video and Audio do not match up in Photo Booth

When I record a video in Photo Booth with my built in iSight video camera, the video and audio do no match up. The audio plays, and then about one second later, the corresponding video plays.
P.S. This has only been an issue since I updated to 10.5.2.
Please help, as I am relatively new to Mac OS.

Hello [dot]Zac
Try the following:
• Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
• Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
• Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.
• Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.

Problem With External Video

I am currently running Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on OS X 10.4.8. I am having some serious issues trying to get Final Cut to display the timelines video out to my TV. I have my Canon GL2 connected via FireWire, and set it up so the DV input plays as the audio/video. It then goes out to the TV via some standard RCA jacks. I have done this before, no problem.
The settings are as follows:
External Video: All Frames
Video Playback: Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480)
Audio Playback: Audio Follows Video
Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Device Control Preset: FireWire NTSC Basic
If I turn the camera off, the output shows it as 'missing'. I can import using the camera so I know its connected correctly with the FireWire. I can see playback on the TV if I watch the tape, so I know that too is connected correctly.

Its funny you should reply, I was just looking through my posts, and was reading a response you left months ago when I asked a question, then I came back to this post and there you were again! Thanks, I fiddled with the camera for a bit and finally did something to get it to show up. Marked as solved.

No picture etc. on TV.after connecting S video and audio cables fr.HP dv4305US and old Samsung

No picture coming from TV.after installing S video and audio cables from HP 4305 US to 6yrs.old Samsung TV.Much appreciate info on how to correct this.Do I have to have cable TV or a digital TV.converter?

Hi eb
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Could be a bad Dynex adapter, return that one for another and/or cough up the extra $3 for Apples.
I'm now using a Mini-DVD to to DVI and a 21.5 LG monitor, but my Apple Mini-DVI to Video adapter and my 27" Sharp served me well for a couple of years.
See the Tip in > http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23844?
+Tip: To make sure that your iMac automatically detects the external display or projector, be sure you plug the adapter into the external display or projector before you plug it into the iMac.+

TS1846 external video all frames

When I'm editing my video in Final Cut Pro 7, the external video Video freezes, I only hear the audio. To try to solve, I click on View> External Video> Refresh A /V Devices and nothing changes. Canvas in the program, the video runs normally.

Freezing or skipping during playback can be caused by any number of things, or by a combination of things:
1. Using media that doesn't work natively in FCP. Video formats like H.264 (and many others) should be converted prior to importing. Look in FCP's list of Easy Set Ups to see which formats are native to FCP.
2. Effects added to clips exceed your system's real time capabilities. Render the Sequence fully then try playback again.
3. Storing media on the boot drive or a USB drive.
4. Having less than 20% free space on the capture scratch volume and especially on your boot (system) drive.
5. Playing the Timeline with the Canvas window set larger than 100% or "Fit to Window," whichever fits best without scroll bars.
6. Having too many overlays activated in the Canvas window (Range Check, Title Safe, etc).
There may be other contributing factors as well, but those are the most common causes.
