Audio And Visual Mix Down? (not export)

I was just wondering if a user can MIX DOWN the audio and video without exportng the video and reloading it back into the project...
Also if anyone can tell me if the scale rulers are of any use besides using them as a marker, for instance maybe controlling playback within a certain range??? Forgive my loose terminology.

Certainly!
When you say mix-down, to you mean raising the volume level in some places and lowering it in others? That's done using audio keyframes.
Audio keyframing can be done right on the timeline. Just select a clip and position the CTI playhead over it, then click the Make Keyframe button on the track header, to the left of the audio track. This will create a keyframe point at the position of the CTI. Raising this point will increase the volume and lowering it will decrease it. You can create and position as many keyframes as you need to mix your audio tracks.
As for your playback issue, you can isolate which area you edit, render or output by placing the Work Area Bar (the light colored gray bar that runs along the ticker on the timeline) so that it only covers a portion of your project.
(I see you've ordered my books, Carlton! Good for you! These and many other topics are covered pretty thoroughly in them.)

My daughter made an iMovie project using picures from her Camera Roll and then delted the pictures from her camera roll and now she can not export the project. Does anyone know of a way to still export this project?

How large is your movie? Is it possible that you could output it as a QuickTime file and then burn that as a data DVD? Is uploading to YouTube an option?

Print to Video Error msg: audio and vide devices may not match

When I attempt to print to video (using a Sony DV deck that has werved me well for years) I receive the message:
"The selected audio and video devices may not match:
-Apple FireWire NTSC (720 X 480)
Please verify that the audio and video outputs are externally routed to the intended device(s).
Do you want to proceed?"
I tried proceeding, and the video images output to the tape but without a sound track.
What to do? I must deliver a tape to my client!
I recently did a software update to 10.4.6. Could that be part of the problem?
Of did some setting change somewhere without my knowing it, and I need to reset it, if so what?
Thanks in advance

Hello!
Thank you for this. I did check the audio playback settings and it was NOT set to audio follows video. I then CHANGED it as you have kindly instructed. The audio video settings box you mention was NOT checked, so I didn't need to do anything there.
I then tried o launch Print to Video (not Edit to Tape) and sadly, the same error message occurred. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I am running FCP 4.5, recently upgraded to OS 10.4.6
Thanks in advance.
Hey Pamela,
Have you been monitoring externally this whole time?
If you have, and you've been getting external audio
and video, then this is probably a case of a
setting being off somewhere.
First, check your View > Audio Playback
setting. It should be set to Audio follows
Video.
Second, press Option-Command-Q to bring up the
Audio/Video Settings dialog. Click on the right-most
tab (A/V Devices) then confirm that the box for 'Use
Different output for Edit To Tape/Print To Video' is
not checked.
And please confirm that you're doing a Print to Video
and not an Edit To Tape. I ask because the only time
that I can remember getting this message is when I've
tried to do an Edit To Tape and didn't drag the
correct sequence from the browser (if I remember
correctly, I accidently dragged a sequence that was
also open in timeline).

Selected audio and video devices may not match

Hello - I was able to Print to Video w/no problem, from my Mac Book Pro, to my Panasonic PV-GS320 w/no problem. Now, all of a sudden, when trying to do this, I get this msg.:
'The selected audio and video devices may not match. Please verify that the a/v outputs are externally routed to the intended device(s).'
Not sure what happened, or what changed, but here is my setup:
Sequence & Capture Presets are both: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Device control preset: FireWire Basic
Video Playback: Apple Firewire NYSC (720 x 480)
Audio Playback: Default
Like I said, I don't know what got changed, but, it was working before - hope someone can help, thanks so much!!
Kristina

I think I found the problem...I had forgotten to switch my Device Control Preset back to FireWire, from the previous non-controllable - thanks so much!

After detaching audio, audio and visual shift

After I detached the audio from the video in a trimmed clip, the audio and visual both shifted from what point in the clip they were located before, making the person repeat what they just said. How can I fix this? I know better than to hope for a magical preference setting that will solve everything, but why does this happen? And how can I fix it? Are other people experiencing this issue?

What part don't you understand?
I have a trimmed clip that I detached the audio from. The portion of the video and the audio that is being displayed is a different part of the raw footage (<1 sec off).

Audio and Video option missing from Export Quicktime Movie Include

Today as I was exporting a clip, I noticed that the Audio and Video option was missing from the Include drop down. I only have the options of Left, Center, Right.
I highlight the sequence, control E (or File>Export>Quicktime Movie) and the Save window comes up. The Settings drop down is the same, the Markers: drop down is the same, but the Include: has the options of Left, Center and Right. I thought the Video and Audio dropdowns were always there. I hate to admit it, but I have not paid attention to them in a while. Getting old I guess.

Thanks, forgot about that.
For what ever reason it started working correctly a couple of hours later, after I started an SD project. The video came out fine
I had been trying out a couple new applications, so maybe one was causing it. I will see if it happens in the future.

Audio and video compression preferences for export to DVDSP

Hi,
I have a few questions here. The first is regarding the internal use of compressor by DVD Studio Pro. It is my understanding from (limited experience with) past projects that quicktime movie files are automatically compressed to an mpeg2 format when imported into DVDSP. To what extent do I have control over the level of compression, and are the default mpegs that were made optimal quality? Where can I check this?
My second question is regarding compression of audio files. Whereas my video files were automatically compressed, I am not so sure about the audio. I was forced to compress the audio down to Dolby2 separately using the external compressor program, in order not to exceed the bitrate on my last project. Was this just a question of one or the other (video/audio) needing further compression than the default amount, or is there more to this issue?
I live and work with video in Europe, where I have recently been told that optimal audio is mp3? 4? rather than Dolby 5.1? Is this correct, and how much more space does dolby 5.1 take than dolby2? How significant an issue is this when making dvd's for musicians?
Lastly, can someone recommend the best quality audio-video compression solution for a dvd containing approx 40 minutes of audio and video footage for use in europe?? or explain how I might go about finding this out for myself?
Thanks a lot, and I look forward to reading your comments.

Settings for DVDSP's internal encoder can be adjusted in DVDSP preferences. Press Command-, - that's the Apply and the comma keys - to bring those up, then select the Encoder tab. In your case, make sure you adjust the settings for SD DVD (and not HD-DVD). You will also be able to specify whether to encode in the background (basically, as soon as you import your file) or encode on build, at the bottom of that tab.

I can't confess to have read any of your previous threads, but if you exceeded bit rate, that is a common reason to need to use Dolby compression for your audio. (unless you can afford to recompress your video files)
That is, if you video files use a high bit rate (say over 6 Mbps average), then it's usually necessity to use Dolby compression to make sure that all your footage fits on a single disc. (this is a simplification, of course, but I think you get the idea)
Or was there more to this question that I'm missing?
I live and work with video in Europe, where I have recently been told that optimal audio is mp3? 4? rather than Dolby 5.1? Is this correct, and how much more space does dolby 5.1 take than dolby2? How significant an issue is this when making dvd's for musicians?
Someone was mistaken when they told you that DVDs accept - let alone are optimized for - mp3 or mp4 files. That's flat out wrong.
As for the difference between Dolby 5.1 vs 2.0, that depends on your encoding rates. Typically, most folks encoder Dolby 2.0 at 192 kbps, with some choosing to up the bit rate to 224 kbps. Beyond 224 kbps, you're not actually improving audio quality for a 2.0 mix, you're just bloating your file size. When it comes to 5.1 audio, it's typical to encode your audio at 384 or 448 kbps.
When it comes to compressed audio vs uncompressed audio, it does matter when you're making DVDs for musicians. But that means that you'll probably need to lower the bit rate on your video files.
Lastly, can someone recommend the best quality audio-video compression solution for a dvd containing approx 40 minutes of audio and video footage for use in europe??
If you want to keep you audio as AIFF files, set your encode to 2 Pass VBR Best, with an Average bit rate of 5.0 Mbps and a Max bit rate of 7.0 Mbps. If you need things to happen a bit faster, use One Pass (not One Pass VBR) and use 5.5 Mbps as your bit rate.
If you want to have a firm grasp over how all these numbers work, there is a section at the back of DVDSP manual, that explains how to calculate bit rates (what we call bit budgeting in the business). Give that a quick once-over if you can.

Powerbook (digital audio) and 1/8" jack NOT getting along

ok see if you can help me troubleshoot this.
i bought two of these cables:
<http://www.cablesforless.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2779>
"Our Custom Made 3.5mm Male to 2-Male 1/4 inch phono plugs audio cables are perfect for connecting your speakers and microphones. These cables feature Belden's 1800B digital XLR cable and Steren® precision machined connectors. To ensure maximum signal integrity and protection from RF and electromagnetic interference the cable also features a Beldfoil® shield and fully shielded connectors. Professional termination using high grade solder ensures optimal signal transmission. Designed for optimal sound quality, Belden's performance speaks for itself. Compare Belden's specifications (below) with those of other digital XLR cables and see for yourself how Belden cable is unmatched. Belden Brilliance® teamed with Steren Connectors brings audio to life!"
sounds good, right? they both exhibit the following symptoms.
i'm using it in the headphone jack of my powerbook g4 15" and going out to a little mixer so i can hear system audio, itunes, etc. through my system. this longer cable is replacing a monster cable of the same kind (but shorter).
i'm getting absolutely HORRIBLE buzz when i plug it into the headphone port. if i jiggle it a bit i can get it to behave but only if it sits just right.
on a crt imac and an older titanium powerbook G4 the issue is much better. i still hear a line hum. i wouldn't want to record like this, but it's not a nightmare.
on an ipod plugged into the power adapter it works beautifully. however, i CAN get it to buzz horribly if i jiggle the plug as i insert/remove it.
eyeballing it with the monster cable tip, it looks exactly the same.
so on one hand, the monster cable works great in all uses.
the cablesforless cable works terribly on the powerbook but nowhere else.
now here's a clue: the powerbook G4 has combination analog/digital input and analog/digital output jacks. i haven't been able to repeat it reliably, but the cablesforless cable seems to be able to trigger the digital interface part, as evidenced by a red light shooting out of the port.
unplugging the powerbook totally removes the buzz.
i get the buzz when this cable is in EITHER the input or output jack.
tried a different power supply in a different jack in the same room... same results both ports (slightly different tone to the buzz)
if i remove the little mixer and plug the 1/4" cable ends into two inputs on a practice amp, i get the same issue.
finally, i got another digital audio powerbook g4 15" and the connection seems to be slightly more reliable, but still problematic.

For starters, EPUB is a profile of XHTML, not HTML5. Further, audio and video support are part of the recently-approved EPUB3, which the release notes for ADE 1.8 explicitly say is not yet fully supported. Specifically, <epub:trigger> will allow you to use audio and video: http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-contentdocs.html#sec-xhtml-epub-trigger
Do these EPUB files that you're not seeing in ADE pass validation? http://validator.idpf.org/
Basically, it sounds like you're trying to do things that ADE isn't supposed to support yet, and in a way it is unlikely to ever support (since ADE is known to be pretty conformant to the EPUB standards, it's very likely it will support the EPUB3 version of doing things rather than the hackery I've seen for Apple's reader).

Audio (and some video) dropping out export

I've created an project with short video/audio clips sampled to produce "music". It plays OK in FCPX, but when I export it (H.264, 720p, Apple Devices, 44.1) as an MP4, some of the audio (and some video) drops out. That is, it does not show up in the exported (aka "Shared") movie file.
There are about 7-8 things (tracks) going on at once, maximum.
Any ideas what to do to fix this?
Thanks!

Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI in GarageBand (Not using MIDI!)

I get this error message if I try to use any other programs while playing back two tracks in GarageBand. It seems to be related to the level of activity in the other programs (namely, Safari)--if it's trying to load a lot of images or I'm scrolling through a lot of content, the playback gets distorted and this error message pops up.
This is audio recorded from Skype using Call Recorder. The microphone is a Blue Snowball. I do not have any MIDI devices.
This didn't used to happen, so I'm not sure what changed. It seems strange that the 3.1 GHz processor and12 GB of RAM on my iMac can't handle playing back audio and browsing the web simulatenously, but maybe that is the case. The audio files are uncompressed, so perhaps that has something to do with it.
I realize there are a lot of other threads about this, but most have to do with Logic and/or they're recording directly in GarageBand.

Hello,
open your Audio MIDI Setup utility and set the input to 44100

i got a plugin for shockwave flash(adobe flash player) i thought it is the latest version so i downloaded it and installed it. Before installing the new flash player i was able hear song online and can watch videos but now both audio and videos are not working.

thanx for your advise but i got to hav one more problem and that is...i have downloaded the new version setup of firefox but after extracting it stops working and the installation process ends automatically...so please help.

IChat audio and visual won't connect on my home network, but will on others

Hi there,
So here's my problem: When I try to connect via audio or video with iChat 5.0.3 it returns and error saying iChat can't connect. Text chatting works just fine. It only does this on my home network; I can take it work and connect to work's network and iChat functions just fine. My wife also has a mac using snow leopard and her iChat doesn't work either. We can connect to each other on our home network and use audio and video chat, but just can't connect to other networks. I'm using ATT&T U-verse and their 2wire modem/wireless router (model 3600hgv) that came with it, along with an airport extreme.
After carefully studying the other posts about iChat, I disconnected the airport and just used the 2wire, modifying the port settings as per the port forward website. I realized that the airport could have been using DHCP in addition to the 2wire, that's why I disconnected it. After doing these things, iChat still doesn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any help would be VERY much appreciated

Hi,
Nice info.
Does the 2WIre device you have include having UPnP ?
Different manufactures put it in different places so it could be anywhere in the set up pages.
If not does it have Port Triggering (Special Applications) ?
You will need to use this as you want to use two computers with the same ports.
This needs a different set up to Port Forwarding.
Alternatively put the 2Wire in DMZ (This opens all the ports to one IP)
List the IP the Airport device gets.
(It would be better yet if the DHCP was turned Off - the Airport would then need to be set up for Static routing (Manually) to keep the same IP)
This is the closet number to your model
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/2wire/3800HGV-B/iChat.htm
Did you set all the ports ? (These are the iChat 3 set but cover all the ones iChat 4 and 5 use)
Did you do the bit at the bottom ? (move the items to the right hand list that you want to use - listing both computers at the text field that reads "JoannasDell" (one at a time if it allows two computers by this method)

Keyboard: audio and Brightness control keys not working with or without fn

The Keys for controling Audio and Brightness (F1-F5) do not work.
Also combined with pressing the "fn" key the keys do not work.
So i only control audio with the remote control or the slider in the menubar.
Making a reboot with deleting pram didn't help.
I'm running the up to date version of leopard on a macbook pro (core2duo).
I also searched in the forum for this problem.
I oten read about "sytem control"-"keyboard and mouse"-"keyboard" and the F1, F2, etc. to use as...
but switching this button on or off doesn't change anything.

problem solved:
the couse was the software update 1.1 for macbook pro, because there i had the problem like in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6142512&#6142512
and did the solution like that, but there i maybe made some mistakes with renaming and copying, so i rinstalled the update and renamed it a copied to plugins, and now all works as it should.
thanks for help
