Audio in VC3

Is the new version of Visual Communicator (VC3) still limited to just a regular audio card, or does it support the ability to hook up multiple microphones?

Good evening, I write from the italia. I have purchased visualcommunicator advantage and succesivamente study. I sometimes have problems of synchronization. the television camera connected to the taking firewire and the microphone to the taking mic dl pc. I would also want to know if my version visula communicator studio version 2.5.1679.0 put to be upgrade to vc3 and if there are some greatest performances.
Thanks Luca Caglioni

  • Can A VC3 Be Created And Produced With Audio Only?

    Hi everyone!  I was wondering if you can create VC3 shows without using a video camera and use just an audio headset for the audio
    and then use powerpoint slides in trays as the rendered finished show.
    If so, how is it done?  Thanks.

    I too, would like to know this. .
    I connect a mic, test the audio successfully, make certain it is not passing through to
    speakers, yet VC3 still never registers it when I go to record the show; the background music is there, ofc, but all the rest is silence.
    Any help would be strongly appreciated!

  • Problems: VC3 Publish errors

    Hi,
    I am evaluating Visual Communicator 3 for use within my company. I am recording via Firewire using a miniDV camera. Recording does not show any problem (audio and video appear synchronized). The Review also plays fine.
    The problem comes when I try to publish. When I select the AVI option, I can only publish at 320 x 240 uncompressed. I need to publish in DV File Format (Type 1 or 2) but all that happens when I select those options is that the "Publishing Progress" window appears and just sits there doing nothing. No file gets written to disk, not even the header.
    I have to say that I am also seeing the random freezes and crashes described in other areas of this Forum - I am not sure how this release was tested, but it would appear not to have been very thoroughly!
    I would really love to recommend this product for use within my company as it is the only one I have come across that elegantly combines camera recording control with a teleprompter. So please respond to my issue with some kind of recommendation (I mention this because a number of Forum posters appear not to have received any responses to their questions).
    Thanks,
    -Mark

    You do realize this is a user to user forum? At any rate, which option are you taking on the first window after clicking publisher? I normally publish mine to the hard drive which is the top option but do occasionally publish to a blog. Then after making that selection and click Next, I select .avi. After clicking Next, I am given a choice of uncompressed 320x240; uncompressed 640x480; DV 720x480; and Custom in which you do the selection and decide which codec, etc to use. That was the same flow I used in VC1; VC2; and VC2.5. It remains the same in VC3. (I just double checked to make sure.)

  • Video freezes during playback--audio is fine

    I recently recorded a 3 minute broadcast using VC3 on a new Dell (Vista) laptop. I was able to review the broadcast and everything seemed fine. After publishing, however, the final video now freezes at 25 seconds. The audio continues to play, but the video does not. I opened the VC project and the same thing now happens there (freezes at 25 seconds). There are no transitions or changes at the 25 second mark in the project, so I'm not sure why it happened. I've tried to publish again as a different file type, but nothing changed. I have done a few other projects that were the same length or longer on this same computer and have not had any issues. I'm looking for a way to fix this problem without redoing the project. Is there a way to? Or is there a way to get the raw video feed from wherever it is on the computer and drop it into another project?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Randy,
    Yes, I have captured in DV, down-convert from HDV. The image, for the most part, plays on the external monitor, but occasionally freezes...while it continues to play on the computer monitor. this problem is getting worse over time. I've been trough all the usual suspects from overlapping windows & timelines through trashing FCP preferences and repairing permissions on the hard drive. I've even reinstalled my OSX Tiger and Final Cut (twice actually as at one point I lost my boot drive & had to replace it) I have two different decks, and it doesn't matter which deck the firewire goes to, the monitor freeze happens with either one. ( I have no problems capturing, by the way) Since this is the second HDV project I have had on this equipment and did not have this problem on the other project, I am beginning to wonder if this might be a hardware problem.
    Any ideas??

  • Upgrade or Fresh Install of VC3

    I've been using VC 2.5 for a year now. Just got VC3 the other day. Is it better to upgrade or do a fresh install of VC 3? I did perform a fresh install but noticed many media files missing from Ver.3. that I had gotten use to using in 2.5 For example VC3 only showed 6 animated backdrops, where I had access to nearly 30 in VC 2.5. VC 3 also lacked a large number of the audio clips from ver 2.5. (VC 3 actually has a number of other music clips in labelled file folders, but they weren't the same types of music. Would performing an "upgrade" have merged all the media files and made them all available to me or did I fail to load some media file folder somehwere on the new VC 3 disk?

    There is additional content available for VC3 that should restore all the backgrounds etc that you aren't seeing. (it was split from the application install to make trial downloads easier for people. 200MB versus 3GB download to try the product)
    If you bought the DVD version, the additional content installer is located in a folder called "content" on the DVD. Just run the setup.exe there and you should be fine. (There is also an option during the main installer to install the additional content when you install the application, but if you already installed the app, just run the setup.exe in the "content" folder.)
    If you purchased the ESD version, you should be able to download the additional content installer from the same page that you downloaded the app install. It is about a 2.5GB file.

  • Publishing Audio Only

    Hello Folks
    Results for videos with my brand new VC3 have been great. My question is: can I record and publish just an audio track and burn it to a CD? I know I can record it - no problem; my question is about publishing.
    I have had a look through the Help section but with no luck.
    Thanks in advance.
    All the best.
    Warmest regards
    Bill

    Hello Rob
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
    Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how find the Custom option and uncheck the video button as you suggested.
    In the meantime, a friend suggested http://www.aoamedia.com/audioextractor.htm. It's a free download. It was quick and easy to use.
    This pleases me because after a rather steep learning curve, I'm now very comfortable with my VC3. Now I can do all my audio stuff on it, publish, convert and be happy.
    All the best.
    Warmest regards
    Bill

  • Unable to capture audio

    Hi,
    Last week I updated the drivers for my Blackmagic Multibridge extreme. Now when I try to capture the material in FinalCutPro 5.1.4 I can see the picture, hear the sound on my monitors (they are connected directly to Multibridge), but the captured material doesn't have sound, because it takes the sound from the internal audio input. I tried to capture from Blackmagic Deck Control (an external application) and it works fine, it captures with sound. So I suspect I have to change the audio input in FCP, but dont know where. In audio/video settings in FCP everything is set to DeckLink (Multibrige extreme).
    Where is the problem?
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Thanks for the reply.
    Looking at system preferences I found that audio input was set microphone. Don't know how it happened. I switched it to DeckLink and now FCP displays 16 input channels in Log and Capture dialog. I didn't try to capture yet but I think it solved the problem, because before I had only two channels displyed.

  • Unable to capture audio from BlackMagic HD Extreme via Voice Over tool

    Hi !
    I'm trying to capture audio via my BlackMagic HD Extrem card using the Voice Over tool in FCP6, but I can't, no audio is incoming.
    I can ingest audio with video using log and capture, then I know my card and my cables are working.
    I tried to set the BM card as audio input in my Audio's System Prefereces Pane, but it isn't working either.
    I've been looking on the BM website, but I found nothing.
    Can you help me ?
    Thx

    Thanks for the reply.

  • Unable to capture 2 audio tracks

    FCP refuses to capture 2 audio channels?! I have one mic on channel 1 and another mic on channel 2 but FCP captures only 1 mono track eventhough in Clip Setting both channel 1 and 2 are selected. Does anybody know what could be wrong?
    Another thing is that when I have captured a clip - it won´t appear automatically in the Browser as it always has done? Now I need to import the Clip from my Project folder. FCP going crazy.

  • Audio malfunctio​ning on hp ultrabook?

    Hello! So i just recently got a laptop in late june almost early july.
    Its a HP ENVY touchsmart 4 Ultrabook
    Its not even 2 months old and the speakers on here suck. They kida slurr and like lag. Its stutters really bad. I can't listen to 1 song without it doing that. And sometimes it freezes but only very quickly. And also my down arrow button came off like within 2 weeks.
    This is my first Laptop so im not sure if i can return this and get a new one because its audio is malfunctioning and stuff? I have a one year warranty on this.

    Hello Gurjot24,
    If you want to return it rather than getting it fixed, please contact HP support over the phone to see what options are available.
    If you are in the US or Canada the number is 1-800-474-6836, if you reside in a different location click on this link. Click on your country, then click “technical support after you buy”, and the number will be provided.

  • How do I use my web cam to record audio and video? I can get the video to work but no sound.

    I want to record both audio and video at the same time. The video works fine but not the audio. I do use Skype without any problems using both.

    PwmBoat,
    This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile...  I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
    You did not say what webcam software you are using...
    ======================================================================
     Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
    Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
    YouCam > Right-Side   Settings >
    Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
    AND
    CHECK "Capture with audio"
    OK
    You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too.  (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.

  • Why does GarageBand audio work for guest user but not my account?

    Hello, I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3) from late 2011 that I bought brand new in 2012. I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and my MacBook has 500 GB of storage.
    About a month or two ago I tried to download the new GarageBand (10.0.2) but I had trouble completing the loops download. The download would stop halfway through because of a network error. So last week I decided to try to download it again, and I was able to do so after reading some discussions about the issue. I successfully completed the download in safety mode and then I restarted my MacBook. At this point I was able to open GarageBand 10.0.2 and create a new project. Unfortunately, there was no audio coming through the output and sound bar for the various audio components in GarageBand. I had no audio when previewing the loops or playing it back in an audio track. I didn't really test anything else out because I figured I needed to fix this problem first. I have read many discussion boards about audio problems with GarageBand. I have already made sure everything is set properly in the GarageBand preferences and the audio preferences in system preferences. I've tried restarting GarageBand and restarting the computer.
    This evening I found a discussion from the username icewhatice and they seemed to have had my exact problem. I'm not sure that I found the answer on this discussion though. For reference, this is what icewhatice posted: "I have no audio coming from Garageband 10.0.2. Downloaded it on Saturday and have spent the last two days trying to figure out why it won't work. I'm using a macbook pro with an Alesis QX49. GB registers keyboard when I plug it in but no sound whatsoever, not even from the onscreen keyboard. It seems to read the keyboard as if I play a C chord, it appears in the display. I've done all the obvious stuff like check preferences, restart, I've deleted and downloaded new GB several times and always with same result. Actually, it took me about four attempts to download it in the first place as I was getting an internet connection error message right at the end of the download, and I see others have had that problem. Managed to solve that by downloading in safe mode but now the no sound thing is driving me absolutely crazy because I can't play my keyboard!!!!! Also, worth noting that there is no audio level being read anywhere, I believe in the new version this appears in the volume control at the top. I've also looked into it potentially being a problem with my keyboard and it possibly needing an update but can't find any difinitive answer for that anywhere. I've stopped looking into that because the on screen keyboard doesn't even work - if that worked then I would know at least GB works and it's something to do with the keyboard. So, I am at a complete loss. If anyone has any ideas about why this is happening or what I could do to solve then I would be very grateful."
    After reading this, I realized that I am unable to create new tracks, and I realized that I have the same problems with old projects saved from the last version of GarageBand I had. I have not tried to download GarageBand again since it did not work for icewhatice. léonie ended this post by saying: "Something is certainly wrong - either the current project, some settings in your user account, or the downloaded GarageBand version. Or incompatible software may be interfering. If a new project does not work, try to test by logging into a different user account, for example the "Guest User" account. Create a new project using this account. Does GarageBand work better from this account?  Then we will need to troubleshoot your preferences."
    I have tried this and started a new GarageBand project in the "Guest User" account. GarageBand was working fine in the "Guest User" account and all of the audio was working properly. Does anyone know how I should troubleshoot my preferences?

    If an application is working in a different account, but not in your regular account,try t find out, what you configured differently in your own account, for example start-up items or preference panes you are using, applications and other helper tools, that are only installed for your regular account. As a first guess, remove GarageBands preference files from the user library in your Home folder.
    But you will have to reset all settings you did in the GarageBand preferences dialog. And GarageBand will not remember the last project. You'll have to find the file manually.
    Remove these files from your User Library to a folder on your Desktop:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist
    ~/Library/Caches/garageband
    Quit GarageBand, then remove the files to a folder on the Desktop and restart the computer, before trying again to open GarageBand.
    You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
    Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house)  in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
    Enable "Show Library Folder".
    Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to the Preferences, Caches, or Containers folder. Remove these folders completely - don't leave anything inside:  ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/,
    ~/Library/Caches/garageband  .

  • Does the mini DVI port cary audio if using a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter?

    Hello everyone,
    I've heard it is possible for a DVI port to transmit audio data to a HDMI connection if a DVI to HDMI cable is used, which will allow the sending of both audio and video to your TV. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
    I'm assuming this is not possible using apples mini DVI port, but just wanted to check to make sure. My main goal is to get surround sound out of my powerbook. To do this by simply adding a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter would be GREAT!

    Hi Jonathan,
    I'm assuming this is not possible using apples mini DVI port
    Yup, no audio, unfortunately. The audio will have to transmitted separately via the analog audio output.

  • How to connect sound or audio to my tv using hdmi adapter. I tried to connect thru sound settings but my tv is not found.

    how to connect sound to my tv set using hdmi adapter. Im using 2009 macbook pro 13". I went to sound settings then output and it shows internal speaker built- in, it wont locate my tv set. pls. help, thanks

    You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
    Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
