Audio dissapears when adding clips to sequence

When I move a clip from the viewer to the canvas or timeline the audio dissapears....meaning only a silent video clip is added to the sequence. Any ideas? thanks

Hi,
Lets see if the following could be the problem:
On the left hand side of the timeline right next each audio tracks there are two buttons whit the speaker icon on them, one to mute the audio (turns yellow) the other to make the sound audible (turns dark gray together with the respective audio track).
Now, in the bottom left corner of the timeline there's a tiny button with a speaker on it click on it If you can't see the first button I previously mentioned.
Is the first speaker button appearing yellow? Is the second one grayed out? (If so the silent audio track appears grayish?)
In one of these cases you would not hear any sound from the audio track because you clicked either on one or the other button of the audio track.

Labview Crashes when adding case and sequence structures

I am running into a problem that I have never experienced before - when I am adding case and sequence structures to a version of code I am writing, Labview 6i crashes (i.e CPU allocation jumps to 95% on the task manager and hangs there) requiring an "end task". I am writing the code within XP Pro running on a 1.7 Ghz Pentium 4 machine with 512 MB.
The code is used to control valves and temperature controllers on a Noble gas analysis line and is fairly simple. There are multiple nested sequence (30 steps long) and case structures within a while loop. The code itself is around 1.9 MB, so given the speed and on-board memory of my machine I doubt that I am reaching and physical limit in terms of the memory or proce
ssing power required.
Has anyone ever seen something like this? Could the code have been corrupted by an email transfer? If so are there ways to recover? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. At least to 6.0.2. Also, you might be able to fix the problem by doing a mass recompile of the directory that the vi resides in, this fixed a similar problem I had about a year ago. Just start Labview, but don't open any of the VIs in that program, then select Tools->Advanced->Mass Compile. I am not sure why it worked for me, but it did, I think it cleans up the code a bit.

Video and audio sync when viewing clips online

When viewing clips, like on youtube, the graphics start playing, however there is no sound, only after a few seconds the graphics freeze and the sound that was missing starts playing and the graphics resume when they're in sync again.
Also when I pause a video and click play the clip will not resume and I have to click the "time bar" and then it will play.
My 13 MB Pro starts furiously blowing the cooling fan and consuming battery life when viewing clips on most video sites.
How can I fix these things?
This already happened before upgrading to Lion, btw.

Are you capturing this thru the LS? and what is the format you are digitizing? DV? or uncompressed? Would be best I'd think if you don't capture audio and video as separate files too. That leads to problems especially with DV captures.
How are you monitoring the audio and video? all from computer or? You could be in sync and not know it if you are using computer speakers for monitoring audio when watching video externally for example.
If you monitor both from the computer and it is in sync, but not when you record to video, I'd suggest that you export a self contained movie of this material and import that for the print to the beta... I'll wager that will keep your sync. If this doesn't help, might want to post this in the AJA KONA forum at http://www.creativecow.net Might be something to do with your LS, not sure but do have the latest drivers installed on it...

No audio (just beeping) when adding clip to timeline

Hi. I am almost brand-new to FCE, so hopefully this is just an easy error on my part. I am trying to make an insert edit, and the video is making it into the timeline just fine. However, there is no audio, just a loud beeping sound. Yes, the a1 and a2 tracks ARE connected, and volume is not muted. I did know to check that much. Still no audio, just beeping. Can anybody tell me what to do next?
Thanks!

I'd suggest your best bet is to use MPEG Streamclip, a free utility (http://www.squared5.com/), to convert all your dv files to QuickTime using the settings which match your FCE Sequence. Streamclip has a batch convert feature.

Sound disappears when dropping clip to sequence timeline

I have a quicktime clip that plays without problems when in the viewer window. I edit the clip as desired and then place the clip in the sequence timeline. When I try to view the clip, the sound is gone, replaced by a regularly pulsing beep. When I first opened the project and added the clip I got the warning stating my project settings didn't match the clip settings and accepted FC Pro's suggestion to change my project to match the clip. This is the only clip I'm working with. How can I get my sound working correctly?

Rendering doesn't solve the underlying problem. Your audio is not in a standard editing format (perhaps it is mp3?) which can cause you problems down the line.
The audio in FCP (with rare exceptions) should be aiff/ 48khz/16 bit. Other formats, sample rates, etc lead to drifting out of sync, pops and other really annoying anomalies.
good luck,

When adding mp3 to sequence I get no sound on playback.

I imported a video file and an mp3. The video file has an audio track in it. Laying the video on the sequence it goes into V1 and A1 respectively. Adding an mp3 file to A2, i get no sound from it at all during playback. Help?

If I open the mp3 in trimmer it plays, but when dragged to the timeline it does not. When I select the options for the source window it does show 2 different sources for the same file, one of them is blank. It seems for some reason no matter what I drag, only the source that is blank shows up.
Type: MP3 Audio
File Size: 13.0 MB
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo

How can I stop sound track from being divided when adding clips to other tracks in PrE12?

The situation:
I have a project with several minutes of video clips on the timeline (expert view) in "Video 1/Audio 1." There is also music on the sound track (below the empty "Narration" track).
Any time I make an edit to the Video 1 track, PRE cuts the Sound Track. (Note that this is not the Audio 1 track, it's the sound track which is two tracks away.) If I insert a clip, the Sound Track is cut and left with a gap. Same if I do a FreezeFrame insert. This is bad enough (make ten insertions, have the Sound Track chopped into ten separate pieces), but it gets worse: when I try to slide the Sound Track pieces back together, the Video 1 clips will be moved around.
This appears to be a major bug but I'm hoping there is a simple way to deal with it.
Here's what the Manual (p.71) has to say about it (not much).
"When you insert a clip into the Expert view timeline, adjacent clips on all tracks shift to accommodate the new clip. By shifting all clips together, the audio and video of the existing clips remain in sync."
* The question here is, adjacent to what? The Sound Track is a continuous music clip of many minutes; it is alone on the Track, and there is nothing on the track above it (Narration track). So it's not adjacent to anything, and yet it is being chopped up.
The Manual continues:
"Sometimes, you don’t want all clips to shift with each insertion. For example, when you add background music that superimposes the entire movie, you don’t want clips to shift."
*They got that right, but they don't say anything about how to prevent it.
This next makes no sense at all:
"To shift specific clips togather, press the Alt key as you insert. At a time, you can shift specific clips simultaneously on a maximum of two tracks. These include the track receiving the insertion and the track containing the linked audio or video (if any). The affected tracks shift together, remaining aligned. The clips on other tracks are unaffected."
*There is no mention of how to specify what clips would be shifted, or not.
I'm not dealing with linked clips. And they tell me how to shift clips (sort of) but nothing about how to stop clips from being cut up and shifted. This all makes it very hard to create a coordinated product.
Any suggestions or solutions will be much appreciated.

Thanks, ATR,
I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
UPDATE:
In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Put Video on Vid1 track
2. Put Music on Sound Track
3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie" also tried with holding down Alt key.
Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track. A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of Video1 track.
7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
UPDATE #2
In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Locate video in Project Assets
2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
2b. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

Wild Colors when dragging clips in Sequence

Hi All,
I just installed CS4 Production Premium on my Mac OSX Lion, everything updated to latest version (4.2.1)
On Premiere Pro, when I'm dragging clips into and around the sequence, the clips themselves turn into a crazy kaleidescope of colors everytime it is moved.
And it's like frozen onto the screen unless I close and reopen the sequence timeline. Why is this? Is anybody else having similar issues?
See image below:
So far it plays fine in a 2nd monitor, but the clip still gets crazy colors after dragging.
I am using Sony XDCAM EX clips (mp4).
I will try with other formats.
Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I do have Avid Media Composer 6 installed on the same system.
It is an 8-core Mac Pro, 6GB RAM, NVidia 8800GT card, various storage types (RAID5 on an AVID VideoRaid ST, 1TB hard drives)
Thanks

There have been several similar posts to this forum, and, IIRC, all revolved around Lion. I do not recall any "fix," however, but they might well be in those posts. Being a PC-only person, I did not follow the threads as closely, as I should have.
I'd Search this forum, and maybe on "display," and "Lion."
If I can locate the threads, I'll post links.
Good luck, and wish my memory was better.

Strange behaviour when adding clips

I have trasnferred some videos from my camcorder (sony) using the 'get media' option from Premiere Elements 7. When I add them to the sceneline (one by one or all at the same time) only one clip space is occupied, so I cannot edit transitions, effects or whatever. I dont know if its related but the clip image in the sceneline has an icon on the upper right corner, it looks like a pair of blue screens superimposed one over the other. I have also tried right clicking but none of the options are available.
Any idea? Thanks in advance!!!

Welcome to the forum.
Steve has probably nailed the issue - DD 5.1 SS Audio.
You can see where things are going, if you change to Timeline View Mode. While Sceneline View Mode is good for simple initial editing, you will fall in love with Timeline View Mode, as it offers so very much more control and provides you with a full view of what is going on. Try it - you'll like it.
Good luck,

Socialmedia modules changing/dissapearing when adding a product to the cart

Hi,
I have this problem:
I have the facebook and Twittermodule integrated in the large product layout. When i add a product to the cart the modules change/dissapear. I have deleted almost all scripts from the templates just to check. But with no scripts the problem is there to.
For example:
http://grootaartseuronics.businesscatalyst.com/Beeld/smart-tv/samsung-smart-tvs/samsung-le 40c750
After adding a product:
I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank,
Don't bother with Florians article, it doesnt work.
There is no simple way of getting facebook like and add to cart to work properly in the online shop layouts.
Not only is the add to cart causing a major headache, i have found that if you click the "Facebook Like" before you add to cart, then the add to cart button doesn't work unless the page is refreshed.
So we have a MAJOR problem with what should be an out of the box solution from Adobe for online shopping. The promise of "turn key eCommerce" is no good unless your a hardcore programmer. All our clients are going to want (and expect) these features to work, but instead we have to do hack upon hack. I havent even dared to test it in Internet Explorer yet....
Please BC, we really need the social modules to work in the online shop without any conflicts.

Audio missing when importing clips

Hi, importing clips from my Sony handycam, no audio is available. Even opening the single clip file with Quicktime, no audio. Don't think it's the camera, as long as I tried with another similar model and the same problem occurs.

Hi all, just updating iMovie to 9.0.7 version the issue was fixed.
Thx all

IDVD shuts down when adding a video sequence... Why???

Hello
When I try to add a 2.3 GB. video sequence the program just disappears... No error message or anything, it just closed! Why does it do that, and how can I fix it?
Best regards
Jesper Pedersen

It is in .avi.
AVI comes in many flavors, not all of which are Mac friendly.
How do I change it to DV format?
You can try something like MPEG Streamclip or VisualHub.

Audio issues when adding movies to Premiere Elements 11

When I try to add movies to PE11 the audio gets all screwed up. I am very new to video editing and I haven't had this issue with other movies, only those froma specific camera. The only thing I can see is that the audio from the camera that works is mono, and the audio from the camera that doesn't work is stereo. Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue?

b.raines
In addition to Hunt's questions, I would ask:
1. What are the brand, model, and settings for your camera? What are the properties of the video that it generates?
2. Are you accepting the project preset automatically being given you after you drag your video to the Timeline (Expert view) or are you setting the project preset in the New Project dialog yourself. The project preset should match the properties of your source media. Sometimes the program's choice is not appropriate. Please check under Edit Menu/Project Settings to see what the program is setting and compare that with what you know are the properties of the source media.
For Properties Readout, please consider the free MediaInfo
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
3. Is the audio messing up the only problem that you are having? If so, where is it manifesting itself
a. when you playback the rendered Timeline in the Edit Mode Monitor
or
b. when you playback the exported Timeline on one of your players
or
c. other
How is it messing up...distorted sound or audio out of sync?
Getting more information on the above will help us to work together to resolve your issue.
Thanks.

How do I add/import multiple audio tracks when adding a video to the Elements timeline?

I have 2 audio tracks that have been made, but only 1 is being brought in. ( It is a .Ts video file that is from Hauppauge Capture and it has game play audio and commentary audio that is being over-layed.) They are written as separate audio tracks but when imported into Premier only 1 of the 2 are being brought in. Is there a way to bring in both files?

pinhead276
It is my recollection that we had a similar question a little while ago on this question. I do not recall the outcome. My first impression "it is what it is", but I am trying to dust off my memory to make sure that the user did not come up with a unique way to workaround the situation. I will start searching for the thread that I think that I remember.
If you find the thread first, please post and let us know.
More later.

Kdenlive crashes when "adding clip"

Hello all,
I've been using Kino for video editing, which works fine but has some limitations.
I really like to give a try to kdenlive. However, it never worked.
I just recompiled ffmpeg with --enable-swscaler, (see this post : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=36932)
then mlt,
then mlt++
then kdenlive (using the PKGBUILD from AUR, v0.5)
but nothing changes, it still crashes ..... even with just an audio file (.ogg)
kdenlive: + + YOUR MLT INSTALL WAS FOUND IN: /usr
kdenlive: Mlt inited
kdenlive: Creating new document
kdenlive: deleting contents...
kdenlive: Creating new document DONE
KCrash: Application 'kdenlive' crashing...
Did somebody solved that problem ? Any idea about what I should do next ?
Last edited by john_schaf (2007-09-22 10:55:01)

Kdenlive is all sorts of disfunctional. The last subversion build that I had worked a little bit, but the one I built today has the exact same problem as you're having. This software is a long way from release ready.
