Audio getting messed up in FCP

Hey all,
I'm putting together a short behind the scenes segment for a film i am crew on at school. The music track comes from video copilots pro scores.
The track (theres two actually, one for orchestra and one for percussion) is too short, so i did some cutting and was able to loop a couple parts and add in a "percussion break". I remember it all being good, then i went to listen to it today.
At one point during the percussion break, the audio "jumps" to another point. It's like i made a cut and forgot to add any kind of transition. If i double click the audio track and listen to it in the viewer, it also has this terrible jump. If i double click it in the assets browser, then it sounds fine. Source file sounds fine as well. The audio is a wav file and is meant for this kind of thing, so i don't know why i'm having this issue.
I included a screenshot so you can see that there are no cuts in the audio at the time that is giving me the problem.
Thanks for any help,
Dan

Really?! I've had this happen quite a bit over the years and many versions. It seems to only happen with 48k 16bit aiffs, yes, and no, it doesn't seem to be a render problem. The poster described it exactly as I've seen it on many occasions - it sounds like the track's been jumpcut, or a completely unexpected part of the track will play where it's not supposed to be. It's not worth fretting about though, as the fix always fixes the problem....just another bug that'll never be fixed now, I guess....

AUDIO ALL MESSED

I've had 2 Zen Micros up 2 this point. The first one i got was from christmas from amazon.com (it was new, out the package & everything), and a month later, the audio is messed up. Every time i tried to listen 2 a song, all i hear is garbled noises, or sound will only come out of one channel. It's not the earphones, cuz i tried over 0 different earphones, even Seinheiser earbuds, and through all of them I hear the same garbled noises instead of my selected song. I returned that one and got a brand new one and 3 weeks later, the same thing happened. Can I get a refund or something cuz this shouldn't happen 2 times in a row, and i'm not gonna see if 3 times is the charm.

You would have to contact Customer Support directly to discuss a replacement or refund:

Variables of one task is getting messed up with other tasks

Hi,
I have one workflow (one subworflow is getting called by this workflow) which is using some global variables. The problem is that when more than one users are making simultaneous requests (not neccessarily at same time), values of global variables of one request are getting messed up with other's requests. Even at start of workflow I am assigning null value to these variables. I am using IdM 7.0. Can anyone provide any clue on this?
Thanks in advance.

I am using a variable like "comments" and assigning null at start of the workflow like
<Variable name='comments'>
<null/>
</Variable>
Value of comments are cached somehow and in other request, when other user is opening the same form for making request, it is getting displayed in comment field. I have tried all the way of making null to this variable, but no luck. And it is not happening all time, it is intermittent and happens only in few cases.
Thanks in advance,

Why is the format of my posting on SDN forum getting messed up?

Hi,
I have a nicely formatted message in Word as usual but when I post it, or do preview, it gets messed up. This is the first time it is happening to me but I have seen other postings like that.
I don't think anyone will read such messge posting. Any help to get it properlyformatted as I post?
Thanks

Yes, I agree that Martin is very courageous and we are lucky to have him on our team and in the community and advocating community needs.
But to your other point:
It seems sometime that you are working for a 20 staff startup and not a Software giant like SAP AG.
You know Olivier, historically SDN did start like a startup (with about that size of a team group as I recall). And I hate to have to remind us of this but sometimes when you are small you are much more agile, responsive, efficient. But that is also because in those early days the "platform" team (our SDN IT) was dedicated to our community needs only, although of course we were a comparatively small community back then.
To further be candid, there are certain elements that get lost or displaced when you become a big, successful community although you can be certain that there remain some of the "original" crew enhanced with newer excellent additions (think Laure, Martin, Moshe, for example).
And core values haven't changed: (connect, contribute, collaborate). But logistics certainly have changed and we all are painfully aware of the shortcomings.
It is art and science to maintain a healthy community as a community grows. From my life experience living in a co-operative (15 years) there are cycles to the life of a community and if a community doesn't evolve and change it eventually implodes.
A lot of its fate is in the hands of its members.
That means the participants are no less "responsible" than the governing body.
If the community "outlives" its purpose, it will shrivel and die.
To your "capacity planning" comment. When the community assets and capabilities were added- blogs to forums, wikis to blogs, thought was given to the environments that would (at the time they were selected) provide the best functions and services. Platforms, capabilities and demands for specific functions also evolve and change.

Only half of the audio gets imported in Composition!!!

I use After Affects CS6. I have 8 videos. I import them to my Project and then import them all in one composition. Everything is fine: BUT one of the videos, has only half the sound. On top left, I see the green wave sign is full but as soon as I import it next to the other videos in the Composition, only half of the sound gets imported. I check the Audio in the composition for this video and can also see the green wave in half way through.
I tried a new comporistion for this particular video, the same thing. I even closed everything down, open a very brand new project but still the same.
No effect or anything is used. Again, all the 8 videos are being treated 100% indenticall. It is just this one that although the audio gets imported all in full in the Project but as soon as it is imported to the Composition, half of the sound gets disppeared.
Please help me. I have to deliver this project to my customer :(((

The videos come from my Camcorder and in MTS format.
Yes. It opens fine in Premiere and other places. Even in After Effects, It imports all fine in the Project. The green waving audio sign is there to see and all fine. But as soon as I import it to the Composition, only half od the audio gets importet.
Well, like I said, EVERYTHING is 100% the same amoung all these 8 videos. They were shot at the same day, same everything. All the other 7 work just they way they should. Its just THIS one with this issue.
I just even un-installed the AE and re-installed it but still the same. New project, new composition, .. THIS video gets only half audio when in Composition.

I had my Ipod nano 7Gen factory restored. Nano touch is working smooth without any song init but after i have any of the songs shifted from itune touch buttons get messed up. They don't work. Help me in over coming this issue

I had my Ipod nano 7th Gen factory restored. Nano touch works smooth without any song in-it but after i have any of the songs shifted from itunes, touch buttons get messed up. They don't work. Help me in over coming this issue.

Hello Rohantm,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano (7th generation) touch screen. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described (you can skip the steps you have already tried):
Touch screen does not accept input
Clean the screen with a microfiber polishing cloth.
Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it, because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
The current application may be unresponsive; try resetting iPod by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home buttons simultaneously for a least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Sync with iTunes and restore the iPod.
Issue not resolved
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

Figures order gets messed up when converting from Word 2010 to Acrobat PDF

Hi,
Im wondering if someone can help me. I have a 10 page document in Word 2010 with many figures (rectangles and circles overlapping each other). The order of these figures are essential. I have triplechecked the order in Word with the correct figure marked as on top. But when I convert (by printing) to PDF the order of the figures gets messed up making a mess in the document.
I have Acrobat 9.
Could someone please help me with this?
Many thanks!

I solved this by taking the document with me to a computer with Word 2007 installed instead of 2010. I guess the problem lays in the fact as some of you mentioned that Acrobat 9 doesnt support Word 2010. Now I know why! This is a bummer though, upgrading to Acrobat X isnt exactly cheap and I dont want to downgrade Word as I really like some of the new features in it (as the screenclip option).
Thanks for your answers!

Audio Gets Progressively Worse in Video Chat

I am video chatting with my father and finding that as the chat goes on, my audio gets progressively more delayed. I am using iChat and my father is using AIM through Trillian Pro on Windows XP. Video is great, and my father's audio comes through in sync with his video. However, on his end, my audio gets more and more delayed from my video as time goes on. The weird thing is that as he is watching my lips move, his speaker indicator shows audio coming through, but then he doesn't actually hear my voice until 10-15 seconds later.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Jason,
Make sure Apple Remote Desktop is not selected in
System Preferences > Sharing > Services Tab.
I checked; this option was not selected, so I don't think that was the cause of the problem.
We're going to give Skype a try, whenever I can get around installing it on both machines. Does anyone know if there are any testbots for Skype to test video?
Thanks to all for your help and suggestions.

IOS music player audio gets paused when switching to AIR app

Hi,
iOS default music player's audio gets paused automatically whenever I switch to an AIR app. Is there a way to keep it playing?

I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red. I know for sure that most of these marked transitions are indeed broken and that the most of the transitions not marked in red work flawlessly... I honestly can't remember whether or not some of these transitions were gapless or not, but the many transitions I do remember working or not working match up exactly with whether or not the songs on either side of the transition were also on other sides of the 256kbps threshold, the threshold at which I enabled iTunes to convert tracks to 256kbps AAC.
I'm going to try re-sync'ing my library with that "feature" disabled and see if it fixes my gapless playback problem. Will post the results once I test it out.

T400s Graphics Driver Bug? Quickstart Icons Get Messed Up

Every now and then, upon boot-up, the screen on my T400s flickers. When this happens, all of the program icons on the Quick Launch toolbar get messed up. This is under Windows XP SP3 fully patched.
For example:
Microsoft OneNote is shown with the icon for Adobe Online
Microsoft Excel is shown with the icon for Amazon MP3 Downloader
Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
The device manager shows three Monitors, all "Thinkpad Display 1440x900", and all with Lenovo driver version 4.31.0.0
Thanks,

I just started getting the same problem with Quick Launch icons. Yes, the screen flickers, and then the Quick Launch icons are randomly assigned other icons. For example, Mozilla Firefox is assigned MS-DOS icon. I have a T400 with ATI graphics card runing Wndows XP, SP3. I noticed that when I log off and then log on, Quick Launch icons are okay.

Slideshow audio gets out of sync when exported to iDvd

I made a large slideshow for a 40th anniversary party. It has 244 images & 7 songs. It is 29 min 54 seconds long. When I view the slideshow in iPhoto it works fine & the last image ends right at the end of the last song.
When I exported it to iDvd, the audio gets out of sync with the video. By the end of the first song, the video is about 2 seconds ahead. By the end of the last image, the last song is cut of by about 30 to 45 seconds. I tried exporting the slideshow directly to iDvd. I also exported it as a large movie & it did the same thing.
I'm using a 17" 1.67ghz powerbook with 1.5 gigs of ram.
I'm using OS 10.4.2.
I'm using iPhoto 5.0.4
I'm using iDvd 5.0.1
The images are scanned tiffs. I also have jpegs that I shot with my canon eos digital rebel xt.
Anybody have any ideas or work-arounds?

I suggest you either use iDVD to create two slideshows or use iMovie to get all 277 images and the 8 audio tracks into one slideshow. If you use iMovie after you get the slideshow/movie put together and completed quit iMovie. Then go into the iMovie project package (Control-click and select Show Package Contents). The find your movie in the Shared Movies folder and drag it into an open iDVD menu. This allows iDVD to to the rendering of the stills and give you a sharper image. That movie file you're dragging is a reference movie so leave it where it is and just drag it into iDVD's window.
If you can live with two separate slideshow (consider it a potty break between the two) and you don't have or need the Ken Burns effect, you can get excellent results by building the slideshows with iDVD from imported stills. The sync to audio in this method works as advertised. I like to add a blank slide at the end of the slideshow so the music fades out during a blank, black slide.

Tape archive DV tape: the audio gets out of sync.

I have some trouble with FCPX working with my DV tapes and camera (via FW).
When importing a .dv file previously imported with iMovie FCPX crashes. When I convert the file to prores with mpegstreamclip it will import but with incorrect date info.
Now I have made a Tape Archive from within FCPX and I can import from there, but the audio gets out of sync at the end of the tape.
Any suggestions?
Peter

Database Ownership gets messed up with SQL Server 2014 AlwaysON

Hi All,
I am trying to build a nightly refresh process for SQL Server DB from on premise to Azure Cloud (IAAS). The Azure infrastructure is configured as 2 node always on. Every Day a new DB get created with retention period of 7 days. (Another script which deletes
old DB)
Nightly Build Process as Below:
1) DB Backup get copied to Azure Blob Storage
2) Restore DB on primary Server on Azure
3) Change DB owner to appropriate login on primary Server
4) Backup DB/Log from primary Server and restore it on Secondary Server.
5) Add DB to alwayson temp Group.
6) Failover temp Group and change DB owner to appropriate login. (Application Dependency to have login ID as the owner of the DB).
7) Failback and remove DB from temp group and add it to appropriate group.
During this process somehow the DB ownership gets messed up randomly either on primary or Secondary.
I can handle the primary server ownership mess-up by adding piece of code to set the ownership in the end, but for secondary I can't change the ownership as the DB is in readonly mode, resulting, when failover happens the application fails to open default DB.
Any lead on the solution would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Viral Shah
Thanks - Viral

Are you using contained databases? If not, is the login on your primary server on Azure the same as the login from your on-premise SQL Server instance as per this
KB article? Keep in mind that SQL Server looks at SID values and not login/password combination. If the login exists on both servers and the database backup is restored, it carries with it
the login SID assigned as the DB owner
