Audio Clip plays when it is supposed to be faded out.

Hey I keep running into this bug and its a fickin nightmare. I am editing 16:9 dvcpro50 23.98 footage, with audio from dats, cds, camera.
I am playing back the timeline with 12 to 14 audio tracks being faded in/out. When the audio clips are at -inf they still PLAY!!!
This only happens when I have a lot of tracks.
I have deleted renders. Still happens. Made new sequences. Still happens.
This is for sure a BUG. Where is Apple's list of bugs so we can all know we are not hearing things.

I've been having this same problem since upgrading to 5. (I've got a 90 min feature running, w 20 audio tracks) there's a couple of possible fixes i've figured: drop you're real-time audio tracks down to min(2) so you have to render the whole thing... doesn't take too long. then 4 playout, export a quicktime (not self contained) this'll ref the media and seems to ease the load. Also moving overlapping tracks slightly seems to help, though obviously not ideal... the two combined got over most probs. only happened twice after that... which is a. lot. better!
hope that helps,
i'm on 5.0.3 so maybe it's fixed on 0.4? haven't checked whats out...

Audio only plays when started from the beginning?

Hi! I'm fairly new to flash, i'd consider myself a beginner, but recently i've been tasked with making an animation for someone! There is a song playing in the animation, it's a wav and it's on its own layer. There are also drawings i imported in too.
My problem is, i want to be able to sync up the little drawings to the words of the song, but the audio only plays when i start at 0 on the timeline. If i were to start at let's say frame 24, it won't play. Does anyone know how to fix this? This commission needs to be finished by Wednesday and it's a S L O W process, having to start it over only to hear like one or two words later on

change the sync property (in the properties panel after clicking the keyframe where your sound starts) from event to stream. retest.

Can 2, 3 QT audio clips play sequentially when embedded in a Keynote page?

In Keynote, can I embed 2 or 3 (4?) QuickTime audio clips into one separate Keynote page/slide and have each clip play in its proper sequence?
The background:
I am making (for a friend) a Keynote presentation (on taxes) which will be exported in QuickTime to Youtube. Instead of making ONE audio clip per page/slide, I am making 2 or 3 separate clips in order to cut down the time involved in redoing the whole voice-over when my friend makes a mistake. He is not a professional speaker and gets stuck sometimes. When he has gone a certain length of time and has done well and comes to a logical break in thought, I just stop the recording. That way if he makes a mistake in the next recording, he doesn't have to start from the beginning again.
This morning I woke up thinking about it and realized that if all goes the way it would unless I do something extra, all two or three or four audio clips that I embed on a page will all begin playing at the same time! So I figure to avoid that, I can “program” each clip to start after a certain number of seconds.
Please advise. This tax presentation means a lot to my friend and it is important.
Thank you,

If each of the audio clips is a separate audio file (track) then each can be played as Build-in (Start Audio) either on a Click or Automatically. Thus, each can be "synchronized" with its associated graphic image by having the audio and graphic Builds occur simultaneously.
Remember: If you are scheduling an Automatic Build, the actual Duration you specify in the Build menu depends the processor speed of the playback computer, so if the timing is critical, you need to confirm this on the playback machine.
Good luck.

Audio clip plays in browser preview but not online

Hi,
I discovered that one of my Mp3 audio clips is not playing
properly online. The thing is that it plays fine when I preview it
in the browser within the Dreamweaver CS3 program (even on other
browsers like Opera). So I don't know what could be causing it.
Here's the page and it is the second clip titled 'Have You Met Miss
Jones'.
My Audio Page
I appreciate any assistance on this.
Many Thanks, Frank B.

It played for me but...
A couple of issues you should address.
You don't have a DOCTYPE and
you have two instances of <title> and </title>

AUDIO CLIPPING/DESTROYED WHEN EXPORTED TO QUICKTIME

Hi folks! Does Bob need your help today!
I am working on a sequence in Final Cut Pro. When I play it in the timeline, the audio sounds fine. However, when I export it to Quicktime, it is a lot louder and the audio clips like crazy (distorts/sounds destroyed). I am really in trouble here and just can't figure it out. I'm going nuts! All I want is to have what I have in the timeline exported as it is.
Some details to help you help me:
- although it sounds good when played in the timeline, the audio does stray into the red. I don't see why this should matter since it sounds fine in the timeline - this is all I want when exporting.
- I have one video track and several audio tracks.
To all who do, thanks so much for helping me.

Going into the red with digital audio is not the same as when it happens with analog audio.
With digital sound the signal is being truncated and as you remarked, quite literally being destroyed.
Redlining analog audio, is introducing distortion but there is still "headroom" and in reasonable doses it can give you a nice fuzzy feeling.
Bottom line -don't let your digital audio signal go into the red.
Have a look at the keyword searchable, Final Cut Pro User Manual in FCP's Help menu bar item, where this is explained in more detail.
Your search term for the day "Audio Levels, Meters, and Output Channels".

How can I control whether or not an audio files plays when a slide starts?

I am putting together a course and have a welcome audio that plays automatically when the user begins the course. Since that slide has a list of the modules that will be in the course, I would also like to use it as one navigation option - click the "Menu" link on any slide and return to this page.
The problem: Every time the page is hit the audio plays.
The question: How can I set the audio so it only plays the first time the page is entered but not again?
I have created a variable called "PlayWelcomeAudio" and set it to "Y" initially, then have an Advanced Action script that changes the variable to "N" when it is clicked (progress through the course is linear so there is only one option available to the user at this point. Clicking that link opens the next page and sets "PlayWelcomeAudio" to "N".
I can see that the variable has been set correctly (when I start it is "Y" and when I come back it is "N") but I'm not seeing anyplace where I can set the audio file so it doesn't play.
I tried setting cpCmndMute to "1" but that didn't work because it is apparently a global setting and I didn't get any audio playing anywhere after that.
I'm not looking to pause the timeline or anything like that. I just want the audio to play the first time but not the second and subsequent times that page is hit.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.
Michael

Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play. But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same. The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't. Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio. The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

Audio clip plays normal in Media Browser, but imports as "clicks" in session after saving & reopening.

This problem has happened with almost all of my large Audition projects. File links are intact & properly managed, and most audio files play as expected. However, some files in the session get replaced with this "click" track, for lack of a better way to describe it. The audio is literally replaced with a repetitive click, or pop sound, as you can see in the image below:
Both tracks had waveforms like the top track, but now the second track has been replaced with clicks.
The strangest part: The file in question, in this case: "Grass" (downloaded directly from Youtube Audio Library, so, not corrupt) previews perfectly fine in the Media Browser window. In the File Browser, however (tracks actually used in the session), it previews as nothing but clicks. When I try to then replace the track in the mixdown / file browser with the seemingly uncorrupted file in the Media Browser, it comes in as clicks!
The only thing I can think of is that the analysis files associated with the project are getting damaged?
Please help!

Can you send a copy of the Grass audio file to [email protected] and we'll take a look?

Audio clips change when moved from sequence to sequence in FCP7

Working on a documentary piece within FCP7 and am having problems with moving audio from one sequence to another. Both sequences have the same settings, but when I copy the audio clip and paste it into the new sequence, the audio that pastes is from the same clip but is not what I copied. Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how to fix this?

Just to back up Michael. The native sample rate for video is 48khz. To work at anything other than that is to ask for problems.

Captivate 3 Text/Audio NOT playing when previewed

I am able to see text boxes and hear the audio by playing the slide in edit mode but when I go to preview - no matter how - they do not present themselves. The timing of the slide is still the same length as if they did play (i.e. 60 seconds of text/audio in edit mode...60 seconds of silence and blankness in preview mode).
Thank you for your wisdom
JC

How did you preview? Have you tried to publish and do you the same issue then?

The next screen's audio starts playing when the current screens audio has finished

So I've added audio to a few screens and on the first couple it works fine. I have added a mute button and that's all, I just want the audio to play to the end then stop on each screen. It does that perfectly on the first few screens and then at a certain point, when the audio for that screen has finished, it plays the audio for the next screen, and the next, and so on even though I haven't moved on. I can't work out why it's doing this! Sure someone can explain what I've done wrong. Using Captivate 8.0.1...

I adjusted them on one screen and it worked - you've solved my problem again - Thank you!
Is there a way I can make my audio files load up like this automatically?

Animation audio keeps playing when the next slide appears

I am inserting several SWF files (short demos created in
Captivate, each with with audio and controls) into a Captivate
project as animation objects, each on it's own frame. The problem
is that when I move to the next frame without finishing or pausing
the animation on the previous slide, the audio keeps playing over
the audio on the current frame. It becomes cacaphonic when you mvoe
quickly through multiple frames. Is there some way I can stop/pause
the audio of the previous animation when you move to the next
animation frame?
Thanks!

Yes, there is. Do not insert animations (SWF)
containing their own built-in audio. If you do, the audio will
continue to play until it has completed, even if the user leaves
the slide on which the animation is inserted - but you knew that,
huh?
Sorry, couldn't resist stating the obvious, but I'm
sure you don't appreciate my sense of humor as much as I, so I'll
apologize once more. Sorry.
Seriously, when audio is contained (or "wrapped") in a shell
like another SWF file, you basically give up control of that audio
- because the PC's "focus" is on the main SWF - your Captivate
project. Instead, use the audio for the main project, either at
slide-level (preferred), or (second choice) at object-level, the
"object" being the inserted SWF.
Another possibility - which I haven't tried personally - is
to include, as a separate object in the inserted SWF, a "mute"
control that could be clicked before hitting the "Next" button.
Extra steps for the end user (and you), and it will require at
least a minimal knowledge of action-scripting (and a copy of
Flash), but it
might also work ... maybe ... perhaps.
Have a great day!

FCP 6 - Exporting Quicktime MOV distorts audio (clipping), plays fine in FC

I've just finished a project and have exported my finished video to a Quicktime file, using the same settings as my original capture (HDV 1080i50). However, when I do so, the audio in the exported file is clipped quite horribly, and makes it hard to make sense of what is going on because of it.
I have several sound files that have been amplified +9dB in the project, and was originally worried about clipping, but they play back absolutely fine in Final Cut, with no distortion at all.
Any ideas on how to remove this clipping on export? If I have to reduce the sound level on my clips, is there a way to do it via batch? I've got heaps of keyframes controlling volume, it would be an absolute pain to do manually.

Keep your audio peaks between -12 and -6 inside FCP. Never, ever clip the audio. Use of some compression and/or limiting - if done correctly - will help you control your levels: Putting a lid on loud stuff and bringing up the level of low stuff. And does a better job of level control than manually riding-gain with a fader or inserting audio level keyframes.
Compressors will help you.
Search the web for tutorials on how to use 'em and you'll never look back.
