Audio acts up with transitions in place, why? Also screwy text

Running FCP7 and the audio acts up when I add transitions to video clips.
Gets loud then soft, sounds like the clip itself has been edited.
How do I fix?
Also, my text clips are also wonky. I have had to go back in and click on leading to get them to accept any size changes.
Gotta get this project finished by tomorrow for client and I need to fix this.
Mac Pro, SL, 32 GB RAM, Dual Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Help, Obi-Wan, you're my only hope. Okay, well maybe not, but someone is, I'm sure!

Audio and Video tracks are separated to avoid transitions being applied to both. Font is Century Gothic and has been working fine in FCP6 and up til now. It is also a valid font. Scaling the font in the text generator only.
I deleted prefs, then reopened file and problem still persisted. Then I just replaced each transition int he trouble area and it now plays back okay. The audio file is fine, but it just seems to act up where ever a composition occurred.
I have also had to work this project between my new MBP an my Mac Pro, which I thought would be okay, but I am wondering if that might be an issue. Ideas? All, and I mean ALL files have travelled daily wiht me to and from work and home for this project and though my back is broken, this is the only problem and I am nearing the end.
IF the two machines is the issue I am at hte point where I can leave it on my big machine now and work it there.

Batch Audio "Overwrite All With Transition" problems

I posted this thread a while back, and it was answered.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1295905&tstart=0
I returned back to the thread because I'm doing the same thing months later, and I needed a reminder.
But now when I do the exact same thing which helped before it does not work. All I keep getting is the message "Insufficient Content For Edit."
That's when I try dragging all video and audio together.
When I lock off video and just drag the audio I get a much longer message which says:
"Edit operation had no effect. Check the target tracks. You may need to open the source clip into the viewer in order to see all of the target tracks"
But that doesn't work either. When I highlight the entire time line and try dragging it into the viewer , the only clip that shows up is the first clip out of the time line of multiple clips.
Thanks for any new help

Final Cut creates transitions by extended the edited shot to create an overlap with the adjust shot. These extensions are called handles. If there isn't enough room to create handles in your shot the handles may inadvertently extend into the adjacent shot, creating flash frames that appear during the transition.

Problems with transition audio in imovie HD

When I add a transition (dissolve) in imovie HD i get the audio repeating itself in the transition. It repeats itself from the clip before. Does anyone know why this is happening.

Never had this problem until I started using MP4 as the video format for my iMovies. Straight from the Sanyo Xacti camcorder into iMovie as MP4 resulted in the transition and video effect audio garbling. Tried the extract audio workaround and it does work, but gets cumbersome with all those audio clips "locked" at dozens of different places. Also high risk of getting all the audio out of sync if you forget, and make minor cuts and rearrangments after the audio had been extracted.
I took the same MP4 clips and dragged them into a DV iMovie project. Took a while to import/convert, but then the transitions and video effects worked fine without having to extract the audio.

Why doesn't Apple supply a simple audio recording app with the iPad? (Garage Band is not simple app)

I am going to be teaching an integrated media production course in the spring semester (creating an online college newspaper) and I want the students to use mini iPads to create images, videos and sound clips. Images and video, no problem. Easy to move to our iMacs in the lab for editing and inclusion in a college newspaper web site. On the other hand, audio is a mess. Sure, I can have them shoot video, import the video into Final Cut on the iMacs and then use Final Cut like an audio editor, but that is pretty lame. They could download Garage Band but that would require all the students to have iTunes accounts, which is a real pain. And moving audio recording made with Garage Band to the iMac is a real drag and way too much work. Why the **** can't Apple include a simple audio memo program in the basic iPad app setup? This is really old school stuff that was on computers way back when. Using Garage Band for that simple function is like swatting flies with a sledge hammer.

Hi, I trimmed an audio regin in the audio track edior with "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" on. But I zoom in.the waveform was not ended at Zero point. Why? In the audio file editork, "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" option works fine.

Hi,
I trimmed an audio regin in the audio track edior with "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" on.
But I zoom in、the waveform was not ended at Zero point.
Why?
In the audio file editork, "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" option works fine.

correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:
14) Point to the start or end OF one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, LEFT-CLICK and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection's start and end points.
Another Correction:
Originally read:
Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.

In Firefox 23, with private browsing enabled, why are the addresses of websites visited being added to the file places.sqlite?

In Firefox documentation it is claimed that while a user is in private browsing Cached Web Content, Offline Web Content or User Data will be saved. I am using Firefox beta 23. With 'do not track' and 'private browsing' enabled.
An examination of the file places.sqlite stored in my profile shows it is adding to the file the addresses of every website I visit. This information is not cleared when I close Firefox. When I have closed Firefox I have deleted the file but it reappears unchanged at each fresh machine start.
As I regularly update my versions of Firefox and the file is one carried over with each update the entries in places.sqlite also record my browsing history over a long period - all of it is there whether I had private browsing enabled or not.
How is this true private browsing when this file keeps a complete record of browsing history?

Further to: In order to delete the now very large ''places.sqlite'' I exported my Bookmarks to a html file. Then from my profile I deleted the 9 ''bookmark.json'' files in the folder''' bookmarkbackups'''.
With Firefox shutdown I then deleted ''places.sqlite''. Then with Firefox open I imported the html bookmark file.
The new ''places.sqlite'' generated now only contains the links kept in Bookmarks. I do not yet know if this has solved the problem. I will use the Firefox browser for a couple of days without adding any bookmarks and then check the ''places.sqlite'' file again.

Why has my computer started skipping and acting choppy with Lion?

ever since i installed Lion my computer has slowed down. it is very choppy and freezes for a 10 seconds or so. ive never had this problem with any other operation system. also, did they change how to scroll with a mouse in Lion? up is down and down is up! weird!

the supported way will not void any warranty your computer has with apple. the unsupported way will void this warranty since this is a configuration that apple does not "support".
Having said all that, the unsupported amount of 6gb's is a tested amount by a trusted source. For me, I'm running on an unsupported amount of ram of 8gb's which works for me.
here are the specs that owc says. They have a number you can call and helpful videos for installation. This site is proof that you're still able to update the hardware of your mac to get the best performance out of it. Just my two cents.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400
and of course apple will also sell and install ram too! make an appointment with a "genius" and they'll be able to set you up. This is where the supported and unsupported also would take effect. The apple specialist may or may not install the equivalent of 6gb on your machine, but will bump it up to 4gb, which is still good, just not 6gb.
Hope this helps!

How to move multiple clips with transitions?

Im still transitioning from FCP7 to FCP 10.1.2 and can't believe I have missed the lesson that explains how to move multiple clips with transitions.
Up till now I have tried several work arounds including deleting all the transitions then using the (P) Position tool to move the clips from the primary track to some track above it then re adding all the transitions. This is a function I do on a daily basis. Am I missing something? Please help!
Thank you

With some further investigation, the transitions have nothing to do with my problem. In my case there was a tiny “Black gap slug” within the group that was preventing me from being able set it on top of another group of clips or gap someplace. But even with the gap removed… I can move the clips on top of another group but the transitions stay behind on the primary (Magnetic)
In the screen shot you can see what happens when I move a group out of the primary (magnetic) timeline onto a gap. All the transitions get left behind.
Ive notices that Cutting and pasting will only paste the sequence some other place on the primary (magnetic) timeline for me.
An example of why I would want to put a cropped/ resized group on top of another group is to do picture in picture effects or if I wanted to create a background behind a set of adjusted clips.

I want to stream all audio to my stereo via AirPort. Right now audio only streams with iTunes, not when I'm online (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify). What must I do? Thanks! 2011 macbook pro 10.6.8

Thanks, Bob. I've seen this suggested before. However, I'm at a friend's place (cat-sitting). He owns an older MacBook (almost positive) and he streams audio without Airfoil. All he uses is AirPort Express. He told me to simply click alt-option and the volume icon and a menu drops down, and I select "AirPort Express". But it never appears. All the menu offers is this:
"AirPort Express" isn't an option.
Why is that? Is there something fundamental I'm not doing?

What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!

What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!
This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
Chime in.

The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING! Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL. I can't. But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support". These are very valid comments. But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL. In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users. Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost? That's up for individuals to decide.
I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.

Intermittent Audio Drop-offs with Airtunes to Apple TV

A number of other threads have similar problems. iMac 2.8 GHz iTunes 8.1 is connect to an updated ATV via new dual-channel ABS on the "n" band. Still there are audio drop offs with AirTunes as it did with the previous ABS Extreme n and previous version of iTunes. So much so, I just gave up and used the Apple Remote on the iPhone to play ATV. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Switching from WEP to WPA/WPA2 personal seems to have totally cured the dropouts for me.
Also I used an old flying saucer Airport as the receiver via ethernet out for my entreatment center instead of using the AppleTV's wireless.
Also I had a Panasonic security cam that didn't support WPA so I used another flying saucer Airport via ethernet out as its receiver.
So now my setup is,
Airport Extreme in my home office as my main base station with a Motorola ADSL 2200 router feeding it internet.
Flying saucer Airport via ethernet and a hub feeding my AppleTV, DirecTV DVR, and a Mac mini.
Another flying saucer Airport via ethernet feeding my Panasonic security cam.
Airport Express for my bedroom speakers.
All airports are in bridge mode with the Motorola 2200 DSL modem acting as my router. (this seems to be the only way my Vonage adapter recovers without having to be reset if my DSL goes down)
I steam music from my 17" Macbook Pro to the AppleTV and Bedroom speakers all day now without any dropouts.

Audio freezes during photos transitions

Hello,
after burning DVD, when playing the disc on a regular dvd player, the music jumps during the photos transitions in the diaporama. When playing the disc on the macbook, everything is fine. My wish is to send the disc to other people so they can watch that DVD... Is there a way to get it to work or should I just eliminate the transition?

Thanks but it isn't the case, the preview is fine,
but the final burned disc is my problem. On the
macbook, everything is fine, but on a regular dvd
player, audio jam during every transitions.
Sorry, but that's the way it works. Slides in a slideshow are actually 'chapters' and some DVD players drop the audio on chapter changes.
The ONLY way to get continuous audio during a slideshow for all DVD players is to create your slideshow with audio as a movie in iPhoto or iMovie.

Linking three or more clips with transitions in FCP7

I am cutting my first lengthy FCP7 project from 15 minutes down to ten.
There are a few segments of this video which I would like to keep together -- link. None of these clips in these segments are linked together at all (no underlines).
However, I discover when I use the Command key and darken the two videoclips, the transition between them, and the audio clips that goes underneath all that, the Link function under Modify is greyed out. There's no way to treat these two video clips with transition along with the audio I set under it as a unit.
Am I doing this wrong or is there a workaround when I want to link multiple clips (i.e. three or more) together, even if it includes a transition between the video clips?
THANKS.

Two ways come to mind ... #1 Nest the clips - select (highlight) the clips in the Timeline, then go to Sequence->Nest Items.
#2 Set an IN and OUT point for the parts you want to combine, then export a self-contained movie. Import the resulting file into your project and use it to replace the original individual clips .

I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro. There are two clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. It is extremely frustrating, can anyone help?

I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro X. There are two separate clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening - any thoughts/help?

The two HD clips were purchased from itunes (MPEG - 4) and converted to .mov for use in Final Cut Pro. Project properties - 720p HD 1280x720 (60p)
Is this enough information?
