Audio clip Strange Behavior

Hi
I have noticed that if I drop an audio clip (stereo mp3 for example)  onto an empty stereo audio track , the following happens.
If the track is expanded and Show track volume or Show track Keyframes are selected, I can not move or edit the clip, it's frozen (I can select and clear it)
If I just collapse the track, the clip become active and I can move and edit the clip.
If I expand the track and set to, Hide keyframes, show clip Volume or show clip keyframes, again the clip is active.
Why only, when the track is expanded and track volume or track keyframes are selected is the clip frozen?
Thanks for any advice.
Gary

Hi Guys
Thanks, that all makes sense now.
Cheers

  • Strange behavior of merged clips on import

    After much troubleshooting I've noticed more strange behavior in the reimport of merged clips from XML...
    I have merged clips made out of film transfer and the audio from an aiff file. I can export and xml of a merged clip... all of about 30 seconds and when I reimport the clip from xml it is like 47 minutes long and will not reconnect the audio part of the merged clip. That is actually happening to ALL of my merged clips in a current film project.

  • Strange behavior in audio editing

    Greetings,  I am working on a progect in logic x and am suddenly having difficulty editing audio.  There is behaviour that I do not understatnd-  If I use the trim tool, other regions move (I am editing a large piece, using group to edit all regions at the same time).  Also after an edit, there is audio playing from some previous edit or from a track that is overlapped or something?  I have toggled the overlap/ no overlap function and have been working with shuffle modes, but now it seems strange.  Do I have something set differently or wrong I wonder.
    Thanks for the help!
    cheers---

    I did a quick (and dirty) fix for this, but it has one problem. After this handler has blocked the submit, you can only enter edit mode using the edit-button at ribbon. Edit button at upper right corner stops to work for some reason. After site refresh everything
    works again, so not a major issue.

    Thank you SO much for writing this script. It worked for me.
    Where the code says: $('*selector for inputs here*').keydown(function(e){
    You need to replace *selector or inputs here* with the name of your input box, so for me it was:
    $("input[name^='client_name']").keydown(function(e){

  • Lock Audio Clip At Playhead Sometimes Behavior

    Lock Audio Clip at Playhead seems to lock it to a point on the timeline. Sometimes. If I lock a clip and then delete an earlier clip, a short (less than 5 sec.) clip stays locked to the timeline even though the video clip it is related to moves. Long (more than 10 sec.) clips, OTOH, move with the related audio. So do clips related to transitions such as Fade Out and Scale Down. What I want to do is lock the audio clip to a specific video clip. And it would be best if that were a default. What to do?

    Permissions fixed it.

  • Playlists don't work with separate audio clips

    I have a timeline with 8 different clips and chapter playlists set up to play each clip individually and to play them in pairs.  This works fine.
    But when I add audio to the timeline it goes wrong. I have 8 different audio clips that match up with the video clips.  If I view the timeline itself, everything is OK.  If I view the first clip's playlist (with the first audio clip) it also works OK.  But if I view any of the other playlists, the DVD (and previewer) return me back to the menu as soon as the audio track starts (this is the end action). If I delete any of the audio tracks, the playlists for those videos work fine again.
    I also see similar behaviour on another timeline where a second audio clip starts midway: the chapter immediately before the new audio track is skipped in a playlist and the DVD plays the subsequent chapter (there are many chapters on that timeline).
    The only solution I've come up with is to burn a DVD with no audio, rip the video, line up the audio tracks I want to use with the video, export them all in one big file and then add that single clip into Encore.  It's not really something I want to do, to be honest.
    Is there any explanation for this strange behaviour, or is it another bug?
    Thanks for any help or pointers towards sorting this out.

    I'm with Neil on the 8 separate Timelines. There are pitfalls to grouping multiple Clips onto one Timeline, and even an Audio Unit's difference in Duration can cause issues.
    If you do go with the discrete Timelines workflow, you'll just do Playlists, and not Chapter Playlists instead.
    Good luck,

  • When I move video clip, my audio clips (unlinked) split ??

    I have separate video and audio clips on the timeline (they are not linked).  When I try to move a video clip (or multiple clips at one time), before I let go of the mouse, the audio clip(s) below the video split, so that they are before and after the moved video clip.  They are not linked together.  How do I move a video clip without affecting anything else?
    Thanks.

    This might be helpful from some of my old notes. The ripple behavior can be overcome by the use of the CTRL
    button. However it depends on whether you press CTRL before or after you start moving the clip. When moving clips
    around in the timeline there are 4 basic types of movement Lift, Extract, Insert and Overlay:
    The first two, Lift and Extract have to do with how the clip is moved OUT of it's current position. To see what I
    mean, hover your mouse over a clip in the timeline, then press and release the CTRL key while watching the status
    text string in the lower left of the application window, you'll see that holding CTRL before clicking and dragging
    triggers the extract behavior (which tells the timeline that there is a gap being created that should be closed)
    but clicking and dragging with no CTRL modifier allows the Lift behavior (which tells the TL to ignore the gap)
    The second two, Insert and Overlay have to do with how the clip is placed IN to it's new position, that is,
    whether it is Overlaid over exisitng footage without any ripple movement or Inserted within the existing footage,
    causing any following media (including that on other tracks) to be rippled forward.
    Since there is no way to lock down tracks in PE, you must always be mindful of what this default rippling behavior
    is doing to overlapping media on other tracks.

  • Why is there only one automated audio fader at head and none at tail of some audio clips?

    When I select "Show audio animation," top left of an audio clip, on some sections I have two knobs... one at the head for fade in, and one at the tail for fade out. Why is there only one on some of the audio clips and not both? I've set up the clips the same, regarding audio animation, and some have faders at head, but not tail. How do I make another fader at the tail of a clip? Or why doesn't it automatically behave like the other audio clips that DO have two faders? I don't know what I'm doing to make them act differently.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Tom,
    Thanks for reply. I'm attaching screen shots. For some reason my pointer didn't show up with a normal screen grab. Don't understand. Anyway, several versions are attached. There isn't one hidden on the right beyond the frame that pops out when I put my pointer there (or any tool). Strange.

  • AA3 library of audio clips and saving session

    Either I have lost my mind, or I've changed a setting somehow, or I'm just now noticing something that may have been this way forever. I could swear if you have 5 audio clips in your library and only 3 in the multi-track, when you save the session, all 5 clips should still be in the library when you re-open the session. I have not chosen to "close unused media" at any time.
    In trouble-shooting, I open AA3 with an empty library, import 5 files into the library, save session, close session, attempt to open session (and looking at the "component files" box while in the "open" dialog), I do not see any files in this area. I have "show file info" checked. I can understand if no files are in the multi-track, this list would be empty, but it should still show what files are in the library panel.
    If I go back to where I've imported 5 files into the library, place 1 clip in the multi-track, save session, close it, re-open the session, only 1 file is in the library. This is strange to me because I could swear I've been able to import all the files I might need for that session and keep them in the library until I'm ready to place them in the multi-track and I could save and open as many times as needed (while never choosing to close unused media), and all the files I imported would remain in the library regardless - almost like AA3 is automatically closing unused media and deleting those clips from my library. Is this the way it is and I'm just now noticing this? I've worked with AA3 since it was released...

    My impression is the same as your's but I'm not at my studio PC at the moment to try it.
    You can use this tool to see exactly what files (along with some other useful things) are being used in an AA session once you exit AA.

  • How do I download the video file audio clip?

    I have imported and saved video clips in Lightroom 5. I can play these clips in LR and both video and sound is played.  When I try to download these video clips in CS6 only the video clip is downloaded but not the audio clip.

    Did you read the link I posted about no sound when playing mts video?  I do not know if Photoshop had the same problem as LR
    I did download a sample video from your camera model.  Sound played in windows media player but not Photoshop.
    Also saw problem reported  no sound MTS video in Premier Pro.

    Unfortunately, because of licensing restrictions, Lightroom only supports Dolby Digital audio with 2 channels or less. The files in question had Dolby 5.1 audio. So it appears the behavior of playing video with no audio in Lightroom is as expected.

  • Strange behaviors

    I was in the Finder going through my files trying to free up some disk space and some strange behaviors happened. As I go through the media files (video clips, flash files, etc.) they automatically play even though I did NOT hit the space bar to invoke Quicklook option and it happens to all of the files in that folder. Now I wasn't bothered by that, just thought it was strange however what I found interesting is as all of these happening is the Apple Menu Bar is disappear but as I move the mouse up top it reappear as if it has a hide menu bar and unhide the menu bar as I hover over with the mouse. Does that mean that it is possible to do a hide/unhide menu bar option? Never seen that before, does anyone else experience this?

    No, it only means you are able to do it because there is some corruption either in your Home folder or in the system. Let's find out:
    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    (Note: If you are running build 9C7010 do not install the Update.)
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
    If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Let us know.

  • ? about "Lock Audio Clip at Playhead"

    I've always thought that the purpose of this feature is to make sure that audio and video clips that need to stay synced together in fact do.
    Well, I just added a short video clip to my timeline--in the middle of the movie--and it moved all the video clips to the right a bit, as it should--but not the audio clips, which were locked to their respective video!
    How could this happen?

    Hi folks.
    Since we last posted, I have discovered something new about the misbehaving audio lock. Happily, I learned that it does work for me - most of the time. I can select the audio, choose "Lock..." and if I get a yellow pushpin on both the video and audio tracks, then they are properly locked together.
    Here's the catch. Sometimes I select the audio, choose "Lock..." and the yellow pushpin only appears on the video track. In that case, they are not locked, and adding video before that pin will lose the sync with the improperly locked audio track. Also, I haven't found a way to get that single pushpin to go away. I can place the playhead there and choose "Lock..." again, but that has no effect (no toggle off and on). I can select a new place in the same audio clip and choose "Lock..." but the pin doesn't move. The only workaround I have found is to move a bit past the defective pin, do a "Split video at playhead" to create a new video track, and then select a spot in the audio clip to lock with the new video clip. The new clip will get the correct double pushpins, and the audio is really locked.
    Here is a screen shot of this behavior. Notice that I have several locked audio clips, and I have not placed the locks on the first frame of the video clips. You can see a defective single pushpin on the video associated with audio clip #23. I couldn't remove that pin, so I split the video clip and was able to lock down audio clip #24. (Note: the gaps in the video are intentional - when I had to change tapes. I'll fill them in with some photos, so I have to make sure that I won't lose sync.)
    What do you think about that?
    Regards.

  • WVC54GCA strange behavior

    Hey Guys, I've added my fifth camera. And the rest work great and can access remotely. But my fifth one is a WVC54GCA with audio. And I am getting strange behaviors. For example, when I'm hard wired , I am able to view the video by browsing to the camera. However, when I configure wireless, and not even go wireless, still connected via LAN I can't view the video, it is almost as if the web server in it get hosed, even the graphics change and the Linksys banner is missing and I see this at the top of each menu page:File menu_setup.htm not found. Also another example, is under admin, the buttons for firmware upgarde and factory reset are invisible, I can still tab to them and use them. That's why I think it is a web server issue with itself. I am on rev V1.00R24, my other cam that is behaving correctly is on R22.
    When I go wireless, same problem, I am unable to browse to the camera to view the image, however, I am able to see the picture via the video monitoring utility. I can browse to the camera to 'administer' it but even that doesn't work right either. Especially the basic menu. If I try changing anything, LED, or time or anything, I get a error saying invalid subnet mask. When I didn't change it, plus it is obviously correct since I can browse to it. The cameras address is 192.168.1.122/24 and the gateway is 192.168.1.23, the same mask and DG on all my other cameras.
    I've rebooted the camera and the linksys router and still get the same issue. Has anyone got any ideas? I am barely ok, since I can view the image via the monitor utlity, but it would be nice if the camera work correctly like the other 4. Is their a limit to the number of wireless cam's? I have 5 total now.

    I to have had strange issues with the WVC54GCA.  I have two cameras.  I set them up in my office first for testing.  The final place they will be is at my summer place for monitoring when I'm away.  I had a break-in last year. 
    In the office I had issues primarily with the motion detection email feature.  It simply would not work.  The test messages work just fine every time.  So I know the email config information is correct. I'm not sure if we just did not wait long enough or if it was the scheduled capture we setup, however it seems that until we setup a scheduled capture and deleted it; the motion capture would not work.  So after about 3 hours of testing and cofiguring and resetting we had it capturing pics and video.  BTW we are using a VRV200 at the office.
    Next, took the camera's out to the summer place.  Setup them up from scratch, did a hard reset.  Main issue, same as in the office (using a wrt54g at the summer place) not doing a capture.  Test email works fine,  No capture. Not even after playing the set a scheduled capture trick.  Tried everything I can think of, no luck, no capture.  As you can imagine, if it won't capture, then it is useless for remote monitoring of a summer place.
    I checked for a firmware update for the WVC54GCA, however its brand-d-new, so there is only one version of the firmware and that's the one that came on the camera.
    Any ideas would be welcomed.  I must have a capture solution.  Maybe I just need to buy a more expensive camera.

    Can you give the steps you're using to get this error? I'm not seeing any problem here.
    1) Create a new audio project (44.1 KHz).
    2) Arm the record head in track 1 by pressing the "R" button in that track. Verify audio levels.
    3) Record by pressing the record button in the audio controls.
    4) Stop recording by pressing the stop button.
    5) Play back the resulting audio. Sounds fine.
    6) Select File > Export.
    7) Change the file format to WAVE file. Change the bit depth to 16 bit, change the sample rate to 44.1 KHz.
    8) Type the name SAVETEST.wav and click on the Export button.
    9) Play back the resulting WAV file in QuickTime Player, Apple Loops Utility, etc. and it seems just fine.
    What am I missing that you're doing?

  • 'ghost' audio clips

    Frequently when I edit audio clips in the timeline, the program creates strange nonexistent audio clips, that have zero duration and sometimes only appear in the timeline index.
    I find this occurs most frequently when moving audio clips around in timeline, especially when working with grouped (command G) clips.
    This becomes a problem when I am trying to see which order I have used music loops in and the timeline index is showing 'ghost' clips, messing around with my order.  Anyone else dealing with this?  Below is an image with an offending clip in the timeline:

    I don't know how they came about, but it looks like you may have subpixel length audio clips
    Unlike video, audio clips can be resized in smaller than one pixel increments
