Apple TV and 5.1 audio from PPro 4.2

Has anyone been able to get 5.1 audio working when Encoding for the Apple TV?
I have no problem exporting 2 channel audio at the 960x540x30p or 1280x720x24p but would love know how to get 5.1 audio working. The ATV supports it.
Anyone have any pointers/links?
Thanks in advance
Tom

Tom,
Thank you for the info on Apple TV. I have to admit that I had never heard of it before.
Am I to infer from your post above that 5.1 audio on PPro CS4 (4.2)... I have the Creative Collection edition is "trial ware" only?
That is correct. PrPro ships with the SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in encoder, but it is limited to 3 uses (unless that has changed). Once one has used it those initial 3 times, one cannot use it again. If they choose the DD 5.1 SS AC3 Export, they will be prompted to buy the plug-in. [Note: if one wishes to purchase the plug-in, Minnetonka, the distributor of the SurCode plug-in, offers a deal for Adobe users. It is available from the pop-up screen within PrPro. This will save money over going directly to Minnetonka Audio. Buy from within PrPro.] Also note that this IS a plug-in and all encoding can be done directly from within PrPro, unlike the two multi-channel types below.
Now, both DTS and Pro Logic II are also available from Minnetonka Audio. They are separate encoders and are only available (now) as stand-alone programs. One can Export from PrPro, and then Import the Audio files into these programs, for full DTS, or Dolby Pro Logic II compliant files.
Good luck,
Hunt

AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device.

Try a soft-reset and see if that gets it to boot up properly : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully boot up.
If it doesn't then try recovery mode and restore/resync your content : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio form garageband be apart of the video when recording, meaning the audio from garageband and echo and not just your normal voice for youtube post?its not add the garageband audio its just normal voice from mic no effects is going thru?

Hi Life93,
What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)

I have just purchase Apple TV and uploaded my itunes from my pc to icloud, this has been shared to my ipad and i now have a little cloud with a red arrow next to all my tunes, so all would seem well, but on the apple tv nothing in music ? is it me?

I have just purchased Apple TV and an ipad, i have uploaded my itunes to icloud from my pc and activated sharing, i now have all my tunes on the ipad and pc and all have a little cloud with a red arrow next to them so all seems well, but when i go on Apple TV, and i'm all signed in and all boxes checked, i click on music, my music, and all files are empty, should i not see my itunes and be able to play them from my apple TV, or have i misunderstood what the cloud is for.?
Any answers please. Apple TV 3rd Gen, Ipad Air.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't play music from the computer if there is none there. If you are using iTunes Match you should now be able to download and play all your music on the Apple TV from the music feature on the main page.

HT204478 Does Apple upload and preserve the metadata from my photographs, if I do NOT enable iCloud Photo Sharing?

Are the dates, physical locations and recognized faces uploaded to any Apple servers from Photos at ANY time when I have iCloud Photo Sharing turned off?
If so, does Apple preserve and use this data for any purpose?

I just tried with a different iCloud account and it worked! So the problem is with my iCould account... unfortunately, it might not be very easy to troubleshoot.
UPDATE: When I signed back in to my normal iCloud account it still worked! I'm not sure what signing in with the other account did but it obviously helped! Thank you so much for your help!

You cannot get Leopard from Apple any more. You will find copies from third-party vendors on eBay, Amazon, or Google.
If you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard instead provided your model meets the requirements shown below:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.

On my Apple TV I am receiving audio from sound effects only, eg clicking the remote. No audio is heard when I play movies theirfore can't be connection between tv and Apple TV?

No audio for videos or music, only audio is sound effects eg clicking remote noise works also when changing characters also audio works.

Check the sound settings... if set to Dolby Digital that could be the issue, especially if the content does not have dolby digital sound.

How to export audio from PPro CS6/CC to AJA KiPro?

Hello everyone.
First off, let me state up front that I know all of the specs when creating a ProRes file that will playback on a KiPro. Our shop just switched from FCP 7 to Adobe PPro, and the exports are not working, BUT I believe it's only because we don't know how to select the correct options for the export.
We can see Video, so I think we are fine on the picture side, but what I am looking for is a way to be able to get the audio codec to be these settings:
- Stereo
- Linear PCM
- 48kHz
- 24-bit
- Little Endian
I just don't know where to look for the audio settings to insure that this is really what I am exporting... in the export media window, I have been choosing the following:
I have also tried exporting the files as "Mono", but the sound continues to either not play at all or playback with what sounds like massive distortion.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
-PJ

Well, those settings will give you the first four, but the last is not a user option. It comes out as it comes out and you can't change it. I just don't know if it comes out as big or little.

Imported dvd into premiere pro 2014 as a linked file with audio and video but audio from previous editing file is playing with video

I am editing in premiere pro 2014 on a windows 8.1 system with 12 mega byes of ram. I imported a dvd into premiere from a .f4v that was
burned using freemakevideo converter.
I imported the DVD into premiere and the audio that is playing is from an previous project I edited with the program, as oppose
to, the audio that is linked with the video imported.
Do you know why this is? I cleaned my media cache and I rebooted my machine.
Please help

Without knowing the specs of your videos it is hard to say. I'm also running a Mac and am having no such issues.
My first thought is that you have something from a 3rd party installed that is causing conflicts. If all else fails try transcoding your mp4 files to a frame based codec using the Adobe Media Encoder. Pick one of the Apple production codecs or Jpeg compressed QuickTime.
Are you running a ram preview? Did you render your Premiere timeline? Are you new to AE?

Apple Trailers and 5.1 Audio Channels - Two Channels Substituted For Six?

Hi there,
Not a huge technical question, as this is more of a personal inquiry. Last year, when HD trailers would release on Apple's trailer page, the trailers contained six channels of audio, creating a surround sound experience. Through Quicktime, one could inspect the audio elements of the trailer, and extract specific channels. For instance, if I wanted to listen to the voice overs without the music, I could just extract the center track from the trailer.
Lately, I've noticed that every trailer I download is encoded in stereo, containing only left and right channels. Instead of the six channels that once existed, there are now only two. Thus, I don't have the freedom that Quicktime once allowed in terms of separating channels, listening to isolated bits, etc., not to mention that the trailers are no longer true 5.1 surround sound.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a technical problem on my end, or has Apple stopped receiving/releasing trailers with six channel audio encoding?
Any information on the topic would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Corey

Has anyone else noticed this?
Yes.
Is it a technical problem on my end
Not as far as I can tell.
has Apple stopped receiving/releasing trailers with six channel audio encoding?
More likely it is just a way to conserve time and effort in generating the trailers ("the bottom line" concept) which are more likely to be watched on 2-channel equipment while the entire feature film is more likely to be viewed on on a 6-channel "home entertainment" system.

Pops and clicks in audio from dock output

When listening to my 8GB Nano via the headphone jack, the sound is perfect and free of problems. But when I connect to a dock device such as a Bose Sounddock or Tivoli iSongbook (both of which use the audio pass-through of the dock) I hear periodic pops and clicks, almost like a bad FM radio. The noises are random and not repeatable - sometimes several minutes will pass without any noises and then there will be 3 of them in a brief period. They are more noticeable on quieter material, not surprisingly.
The exact same music files played on my old 3G iPod (15GB) through the same dock devices exhibit no unwanted noises at all.
The only functional difference between these 2 iPods is that the old one will charge in the docks (it is the old Firewire-charging flavor) while of course the new Nano chromatic will not as it supports only USB charging. I understand this, but don't see why that should affect the audio.
Anyone else notice this? Should I drop by my local Apple Store to see what they say??

That's odd to be sure. What you should have seen if you clicked the link to the Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form is that a web page opens that allows you to choose whether you are reporting a bug or asking for a feature. I don't belive you receive any E-Mail message notification. This makes me wonder exactly what link you clicked.

Keeping 5.1 audio from PPro CS5 to AE CS5 via dynamic link?

Hi,
I have a project edited in PPro CS5 with 5.1 audio which is showing and working correctly.
However when I use dynamic link to open up PPro sequence in AE CS5 to do my online editing it seems to be importing it as 2 CH Stereo. So when I use Adobe Media Encoder CS5 to render out final online/edited video from AE i can only get it to wok with audio settings set to Stereo.
If I try to select 5.1, this is the error I get...
- Source File: K:\Video Projects\Laurel Creek\Laurel Creek.aep
- Output File: K:\Video Projects\Laurel Creek\Laurel Creek_FinalConcept5_h.mp4
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: NTSC, 1920x1080, 59.94 fps, Progressive
- Audio: AAC, 384 kbps, 48 kHz, 5.1 Channels
- Bitrate: CBR, 26.00 Mbps
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00
27/03/2012 2:34:32 PM : Encoding Failed
The source and output audio channels are not compatible or a conversion does not exist.
Any ideas how to get AE to see the source 5.1 audio which is originally in PPro sequence so Media Encoder will render out a 5.1 file?
If I change my above custom preset to 2 CH Stereo, the render works, no errors, and video/audio plays fine (which makes sense as AE file is 2 Ch Stereo). But I am looking to keep the source 5.1 audio that my camera records in.
Thanks.

Yup, I've got a new lossless recommendation: Quicktime's PNG codec. It's 10-bit, supports alpha channels, and generally has smaller file sizes than Animation.
If you also have FCP 7 on your machine, you could also give ProRes 422 a whirl. Good codec. Not lossless, but you have to re-render something six times over before you see any kind of image degradation... and for the file size, that's approaching the realm of the magical.
