Audio And Video Preview

Hi all!
Is it possible that when you press the spacebar to preview an audio file, video or photo from reproducing while you browse other directories?
I've got OS X 10.6.8
Thanks! (Sorry for my bad English)

Do you have bootable backup clone(s) you can revert to? (Having at least one, preferably two bootable backup clones of your system drive is highly recommended. One at home and one at a different place (at work,...) in case of fire or burglary)
If you have one, boot from there, see if the problem is there as well...
If the problem is not present there you can consider cloning this backup to your internal drive.
Or If you have Time Machine, you can restore your system to the state it was before these troubles started.
did you do updates to your system recently, or install new software? That could be a possible cause...

No more audio or video preview in column view?

weird one... on my powerbook (g4) i suddenly have no ability to play/preview audio or video file in column view in the finder. works fine on my desktop machine with the same os and such...? highlighting a file just gives its name and dates and such, no ability to preview.
using 10.4.8 and QT 7.1.3. tried updating prebinding (and other normal quickfixes). think i might need to reinstall quicktime?

well, yes i tried all the basic quick fixes. (plus diskwarrior and applejack, etc.)
i thought i might find it in some of the preferences of finder or quicktime but no go.
the weirder thing is that if you highlight an audio or video file in the column view, while it gives no audio or video preview, if you click on the "get more info" button (or command-i) there will be the audio or video preview.
???

Audio And Video out of sync in Final Cut, but not in quicktime

I heave searched the forums to no end to find the solution to this issue, unfortunatley, I have not solved the problem.
I am using Final Cut 4.5 on a G4 running OSX 10.3.4. This system has worked perfectly for years with no problems. Neither the system, hardware, or software has ever been changed on this machine. Suddenly last week, despite perfect sync while previewing the capture, the Audio and Video were of sync in Final Cut, but when checked in quicktime, there were no problems. That is how I eventually figured out this was a final cut problem.
By out of sync, I don't mean it is by a specific number of frames that can be adjusted and then everything is fine, the sync seems to drift so that if you edit the audio to be in sync in one part of the video, it won't be at the end. Also, it is out of sync from the first frame played, not a gradual drift.
This is definitely not an issue of frame rates or final cut settings as will be evident by the steps I took below to find the source of this problem.
This is what I did to attempt to fix the problem:
- Check drives using disc utility and repair permissions
- Remove Final Cut Preferences using Apple guidelines
- Switch hard drives
- Delete Final Cut and reinstall newer version of final cut (since the capture files played fine on Final Cut 5.1 on another machine)
- reinstall entire OSX 10.3.9, wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Final Cut 5.1
- switch ram slots, and even replace ram with different sticks from another G4 machine
None of these solutions worked. Is there some hardware problem with my G4 that is suddenly causing Final Cut to play audio and video out of sync?
Hope you can help, otherwise this otherwise great G4 is going in the dumpster!
Thanks

For what it's worth, I'm having what looks to be the same problem. Driving me insane. Here's what's going on-
Editing in FCP 6.0.2
QT was just updated to 7.3.1 the other day (hmm)
On an MacBookPro machine, OS 10.5.1
Software updater says everything's up to date of course.
DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal (footage was shot at 24PA on a DVX100b)
In Quicktime, the file previews fine, everything's in sync, everyone's happy. In FCP, the video and audio are wildly out of sync. I did a test inside of quicktime and sliced out a small portion of the media clip and did a "save as" and this small slice played in sync in FCP. However, this did not work for the entire clip. Clip is weighing in at 5.58GB for a 32 minute run.
I'm trying to multicam 2 tapes together and manually syncing these up is proving to be difficult at best. When anyone gets any ideas/leads/patches, let us know.

Audio and Video out of sync during editing. PLEASE HELP

I am using a MacBook Pro. Specs are:
- OS X version 10.9.2
- 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 Processor
- 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
When I import a video into AfterEffects CC, the audio and video are out of sync. The audio and video files are the right size, length etc. but are way out of sync. By the end of a 2 minute video, it can be out by up to 5-6 seconds. This applies to videos imported from any device. iPhone, USB and even videos I've recorded directly from my computer. Most files I try and import are MP4 files, but I've found the same issues with all other video files. I've even tried importing them separetely as an audio file and then as a video file. Nothing seems to work. I am also experienceing the same issue with Premiere CC.
Please help. I am needing these programs to work for assessment items.

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?

Audio and video out of sync on converted AVI file

I am trying to convert a DVD to an AVI for playback on a device. When I import the DVD and publish it as an .AVI the output audio and video are out of sync. After about an hour of playback the audio lags the video by a full second. How can I correct this problem?

If you have Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8 and you want to rip VOBs from the DVD-VIDEO to export subsequently to DV AVI, here are the details....
1. Do you have DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen? Set the Premiere Elements 12 project preset manually.
File Menu/New/Project. Set the project preset to NTSC or PAL DV Standard or NTSC or PAL DV Widescreen depending on what you have.
Before you exit the new project dialog, make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on this Project.
2. In the Premiere Elements workspace, use Add Media/DVD camera or computer drive/Video Importer to get the VOBs (only the ones in the series VTS_01_1.VOB. Set to a folder in the Save In: location. Check mark next to Insert in Timeline. Hit Get Media.
3. If you have an orange line OVER the Timeline content, press the Enter key to get the best possible preview of what you have on that Timeline.
If after all that, the audio is out of sync, then use the Command Prompt method to get the individual VOBs into a single file with all the VOBs seamlessly merged. This worked nicely for a recent user here. See details in my blog post how to for the Command Prompt way.

Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Depending on your results, more information may be requested about the specific properties of what you have on that DVD disc.
Thank you.

Audio and Video out of sync in shared iMovie file

Audio and video out of sync on short recordings

I've scanned the discussions and see that alot of posters are experiencing
the same problem I'm having which is recording quicktime movies
and getting audio and video out of sync.
In most of those posts the responses seem to be that the problem gets
bad if you're making a long recording. I'm experiencing that, but...
...I'm also having the same problem on really short recordings...less than a
minute. I've coming video and audio out of my cable box, into a SONY DSR-11 VCR, then firewire out of the deck into the computer, recording the movies with Quicktime 7.1.6.
I know it's coming out of the cable box and then out of the SONY deck via firewire in sync because when I log and capture through Final Cut Pro, audio and video are in sync in preview and playback. I don't want to use Final Cut Pro to capture the movies because I want to end up with MPEG4, and I'd have to go through an extra conversion process out of FCP.
Any thoughts on why even short recordings through Quicktime are out of sync?
Thanks.

I'm having similar problems transferring VHS video to Quicktime. Another problem I'm having is when I transfer a VHS video to iMovie and then export the video to H.264 format, I have similar sync problems, even though the iMovie seems perfectly in sync.
I'm going to try to transfer several alternative video formats (video from my cable DVR, Video from live TV, and video from a digital mini cassette to try and figure out whether the VHS format is the culprit. Will keep you posted.

Capture audio and video files to seperate files

Forum,
Having suffered problems with OS 10.5 and Quicktime 7.4.1 I have done a clean install with 10. 4 .11.
When I select capture the following notice appears
"Audio only capture selected,video preview disabled"
In system settings "capture audio and video to seperate files " is NOT checked.
But that may not mean the same as the statement in in the capture window.
I have searched HELP and a book called" Optimizing your Final Cut Pro System" but can not find an answer.
Advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
Michael Craven

Hi,
Check this:
in Log & Capture window select Clip Settings tab and make sure video box is checked.
Cheers,

Adding Audio and Video Content to EPUB from InDesign CS5.5 | CS5.5 Design Premium Feature Tour | Adobe TV

In this episode, Colin Fleming shows how simple it is to embed audio and video content in InDesign CS5.5 for export to EPUB.
http://adobe.ly/xT0jKh

I have placed audio and video into InDesign. I did it just exactly the way this video told me. Everything works well in the preview panel. However, when I exported it to EPUB, the file of the EPUB is so small (I guess, it should have been larger because I had added video and audio file into it). Plus, When I open it in EPUB reader (ibook) and Adobe Digital Edition, It shows nothing.
What I want to do is to create an EPUB which contains image, and sound. I want to make the image as a button which plays sound when I click it. I did it by setting he button to play when clicked, but again, it is not showing at all when published to EPUB.
I hope that there will be a good solution to this matter.
Thank You.

Please help with audio and video not syncing.

I'm using Encore 3, and have already authored a DVD a month ago without a glitch. The following are the same steps I used, but this time around, the video and audio in Encore are not syncing.
Here's what I've done.
1) I export my Final Cut projects to .mov using the following settings (Share > Master File).
Format: Video and Audio
Video codec: H.264
Resolution: 1920x1080
Audio file format: Quicktime Movie (AAC)
Include chapter markers: Unchecked
Roles as: Quicktime Movie
2) I run the .mov file in Compressor using the "Disc Burning" preset.
3) I then import the .ac3 and .m2v files that Compressor created into Encore.
4) In Encore, I select both files and go to New > Timeline.
In the Timeline window, the durations on both are the same. But I don't understand why the audio and video are not synced when I preview or when I burn a test DVD. The audio comes in just a tad late.
Video Clip:
Source In: 00;00;00;00
Duration: 00;02;33;29
In-Point: 00;00;00;00
Out-Point: 00;02;33;29
Audio Clip:
Source In: 00;00;00;00
Duration: 00;02;34;00
In-Point: 00;00;00;00
Out-Point: 00;02;34;00
What's puzzling is that two of the 10 videos I've import to Encore are synced perfectly -- same export settings from FCP, same settings Compressor.
Please help.
Thanks!
Mark

Hi Mark.
Do you have any situations where there is more than one video file in a timeline?
Secondly - why are you using H264 HD files for a DVD? This is using lossy compression to make the H264, which is in turn then scaled & even further bitrate reduced for M2V.
I would give it a try rendering an SD video file for use in Encore - not the H264 - and starting out with Dolby Digital or LPCM audio, not AAC.
As with all DVD authoring programs, Encore works best with DVD compliant assets - which you are most definitely using - but I still think you are over-complicating things by using H264/AAC at all.
Eliminating this may help.

Audio and video drivers defect?

Hello there,
since yesterday i have a big problem with my iMac. It can't play any Audio and Video anymore. Video editing like Final Cut Pro 7, Premiere Pro and After Effects are crashing, when youre trying to start them. Same thing with iTunes and Diablo 3. Photoshop seems to work fine. Browsing in the internet is fine but also no video and audio here. And my system seems to be way slower than before.
What did happen? Well i was working in after effects and hearing some music via iTunes and had some preview running in the finder (cover flow i think is the name of feature), Then the sound stopped but i didnt bother to much about it. But then cover flow also stopped working. So i did a restart and after that the problems were there.
My Suggestion: After Effects is missing output-modules, in the audio menu in the system preferences there is no output modul avaiable either (no, even no digital) although the boot sound works perfectly. So i guess the drivers for audio and video aren't working anymore. But i have no idea how to fix this.
What i've tried: i've reseted the nvram two times, i install mac os X snow leopard again (without deleting the previour installation) and run all updates. I also reseted the System Control Manager (unplug the imac for fifteen seconds) and run the Apple Hardware Test. The latter said there is an error 4MDT/4/40000003:HDD -1299. No fking clue what this means. Google didn't help.
Can someone help me pls or do you know if the people at the genius bar can handle this kind of problem? I have an appointment at the genius bar on saturday, but i have no idea how trained these people are at fixing mac os issues.
ah and before i forget: i didnt configure the time machine :/ so there is no easy moving back to a time the imac was working.

Yeah i know its the hard disk drive. I just cant find anything what this code means besides theres something wrong with hdd
And yes i already backed it up, but anyway thanks for your advice.

Audio and Video Sync

Hey Gang,
Reaching the point of frustration with a relatively simple Imovie project I'm trying to create. I've imported 2 separate groups of .mov files created by a utility that extracted the video from a DVD (DVDxDV). In both cases, the problems began when I selected multiple files to import. The first file would come in okay but by the time the last one was imported the audio was completely out of sync and played the same section of audio for all the video. It seemed I could overcome this by importing the files one at a time until I found that even after doing this and having the files import correctly, over time the audio and video would get out of sync within imovie.
i have all the imports in a particular event and begin to drag segments to my new project. If i close I movie and come back to it later, the audio and video in the project starts to become out of sync. It then usually starts to happen when I preview the video in the event window as well. Importing requires so much time that deleting entire events and projects and starting over is driving me bananas.
Has anyone experienced this before or have any ideas as to what's going on?
Imovie 08 build 7.1.2 (577)
macbook with lots of free drive space.
no updates are available for imovie.
the problem is occurring within imovie before I export to anything.
Help!
Wayne

I am having the same problem. I am trying to use different video clips for talks. Once I have more than one clip in the video library, it plays audio from the first clip for all video??? Would love to figure this out.

Audio and Video Stops Working

Hello,
My audio and video stops working. It starts working again when I reboot. I'll leave the computer for a while, maybe overnight, and when I return the audio and the video on the iMac will not function. When I click Play on iTunes or You Tube nothing happens.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated!

Slight update.
I found this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4872302#4872302
It gave me some of the links I had been desperately looking for. I have an intel on board GPU and the GTX 675 MX. Because of MSI's bios, there's not a lot I can do in there to ensure that the computer is using the GTX over the Intel. I found some settings which give preferences for which card to use for which programs. PPro had the Nvidia already selected, but I went so far as to completely remove the Intel from all of the settings. Still no change. Today I went as far as to actually disable the intel GPU in the device settings. I rebooted and I wasn't getting anything in PPro. I switched her to software acceleration and it asked me if I wanted to delete the previews. I said yes and now she can see again. Of course I have NO clue yet if this is a permanent change or not. I do want the Hardware Acceleration, so leaving it in Software Mode is not a long term solution. It gets her working tonight, so on that note I'm happy.
Time will tell if this helps or hinders, but it's some sort of movement.

Premiere Elements 7: Toggle Take Audio and Video

In Premiere Elements 2, when you dragged a video/audio clip into the "Clip" section of the Monitor, there was an icon at the bottom right of the Monitor named "Toggle Take Audio and Video". There were three variations from using that icon, just video dragged from Monitor "Clip" section, just audio dragged from Monitor "Clip" section or video and audio dragged from the Monitor 'Clip" section. At times, a Shift + S could be used in place of clicking that icon under the Monitor.
In Premiere Elements 4 and 7, I see no such icon for the intended use of just taking video without its audio to the Premiere Elements Timeline. If you go to Premiere Elements 4 or 7, Edit Menu/Keyboard Shortcuts/Application/Help, there is a shortcut there for "Toggle Take Audio and Video", "Take Video", and "Take Audio". If I use Shift +S for any one of them, I cannot get them to function.
I realize that the Preview Window of Premiere Elements 4 and 7 has taken on many of the functions of the Monitor "Clip" arrangement. But, I have tried Shift + S toggling with both the Premiere Elements 4 and 7 from the program's Monitor, Preview Window, Project View Media section without any of that working to bring just video or just audio to the Premiere Elements Timeline.
Does that feature still work in versions of Premiere Elements beyond Premiere Elements 2?
I would appreciate any comments on the matter.
ATR

Robert J. Johnston,
Thank you so much.
I have been laboring for hours trying to get these keyboard shortcuts to work in Premiere Elements 4 and 7. My reasoning was why would they be there if they did not work and I must be overlooking something critical.

How do I use my web cam to record audio and video? I can get the video to work but no sound.

I want to record both audio and video at the same time. The video works fine but not the audio. I do use Skype without any problems using both.

PwmBoat,
This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile... I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
You did not say what webcam software you are using...
======================================================================
Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
YouCam > Right-Side Settings >
Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
AND
CHECK "Capture with audio"
OK
You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too. (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)
==========================================================================
I hope this helps!
