Audio interrupted when switching camera angles (help request)

When switching camera angles in FCPX 10.0.3, a clip is split into two and there's a slight break in the audio at that point. I'm using the Angle Viewer, and I've selected video-only switching, but due to the Blade tool there's still a gap in the audio whenever I switch camera angles. For instance, if I switch cameras (by pressing 1 or 2 on the keyboard or clicking the respective camera view) during dialog, the word is interrupted by a glitch or hiccup at that point.
My setup is two cameras synchronized with external audio. My goal is simply to be able to switch from one camera angle to another while retaining the audio exactly. I wish to make hard cuts (i.e., no cross dissolves or other transitions)—surely this must be the easiest and most common of multicam edits?
Is there any setting to automatically crossfade adjacent audio clips? The Expand Audio/Video command doesn't allow for separate audio/video editing on multicam clips. Further, the Detach Audio command also doesn't work on multicam clips. Adding cross dissolves only to audio therefore appears to be impossible for multicam editing, at least not without extremely time-consuming surgical editing, which clearly isn't a feasible solution.
I'd be extremely grateful for any help.

I think this describes my issue as well. Thank you for your investigation!
I had the background noise reduction enabled on the angle I was using for the multicam audio. I disabled that, and the volume adjustment I had made to the track, and now the full multicam clip with angle switching appears to be playing without audio interruptions.
I'm working on a possible work-around: In the Project Timeline, I took all of the "sub-clips" representing each new angle, and created a new compound clip containing all of them. I then applied the noise reduction to the compound clip. This appears to apply the noise reduction to the compound clip as a whole, instead of each individual angle cut, and therefore does not interrupt the audio on an angle cut.
Write back if it works for you.

Audio mutes when switching modes in Audio Cons

I have an Xfi Platinum that is working great except one annoying problem. Ever since I upgraded the drivers to the latest version, everytime I switch audio modes, for example from game to entertainment, the sound mutes on my system. I have to open the Windows XP sound control to uncheck mute every time. Has anybody experienced this problem and have a fix for it's I downloaded the mode switching program from a link on this forum, but it does the same thing. Thank you!

Don't know if this will help... Try changing the multi-track preview/playback settings (press F4)... If the playback buffer is too big or too small you may get dropouts...
Also try to defrag the hard drive with virtual memory turned off. With VM off it may run slow, but it should defrag the swap file as well making your drive super optimized. You may have to boot in safe mode to make it work though... Of course you can turn the VM back on when you're done...
Clean out the dust from the computer and make sure it isn't over heating...???

Core Audio Crashes when Logic Loads - need help

Hi,
Logic 8 and Garageband both crash when they load. If I turn off Core Audio during loading by Control clicking the Logic icon, Logic does load but without audio. In I then enable Core Audio, Logic crashes right away. If I take out all the audio plugins from the Library (none in user), it makes no difference. I have taken out the Logic preferences from the User Library. It did not fix the problem. I have looked for anything to do with Melodyne and Rewire on my system did not fine anything I could solve the problem with.
Strangely, Sibelius or Sound Track Pro do not have this problem (not using Core Audio?). I was advised by someone to download the Pro Application Support Runtime. However, older versions of this (4.02) will not install on my computer, and the newer ones seem to be only for Final Cut Studio and will not accept a Logic serial number.
It seems I have a serious corruption problem with Core Audio. I do not know what to do with Core Audio as it does not seem to be an actual application that I can trash and replace. Nor do I know of any Core Audio preferences to trash.
Does anyone, including an Apple expert, know how to fix this problem?
Regards
Paul Nicholls

It might help if you could post a crash report.
Coreaudio is part of OS X. Worst case scenario would be an OS X reinstall.
One thing to try: create a new User account, login to that and open Logic from that. Does it still crash?

I have a ATV2 and I'm getting audio interruptions when playing audio or video.

I tried couple of things as resetting all the settings, unplugging all the devices, resetting the ATV to factory settings - NO RESULT!
More than this, today I'm getting this error when I'm trying to play song from iTunes on ATV: An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (-15000).
Can anyone help here?

Audio lost when opening project. Help

I am fairly new to Premier CS3. I have been sucessful so far with all of my projects. However. I recently did a wedding reception with lots of edits and a few transitions. Everything worked fine and sounded great. I saved the project, then checked everything again. Then I closed Premier and shut down the PC. The next morning, I opened up the project and there was no audio. I tried everything to figure out what was happening. Then I finally imported the video again and started over completely. The same thing happened when I opened it up this morning... no audio. What the heck is happening? The audio even disappears from the project panel.
There has to be a simple explanation. Anybody have a clue?

Yet another unanswerable question without relevant details.
Look here and supply details as outlined.

FR: Full Screen Preview of Multi-Camera Angles

The Program monitor can be viewed in Full Screen mode, as we all know, but when the Program monitor is displaying Multi-camera angles, it can only viewed in windowed mode. Full Screen mode no longer works in this situation. This is inconsistent, illogical and unproductive, thus my new FR for Adobe to allow the Program Monitor to be viewed in Full Screen mode, regardless of what it's displaying:
(feel free to copy/paste and send as your own FR here: www.adobe.com/go/wish)
How would you like the feature to work?
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Full Screen Preview for Camera Angles
How would you like the feature to work?
The Program and Source Monitors can both be toggled in/out of Full Screen mode with a single keyboard shortcut, a fantastic feature. Why then can't the Program Monitor display in Full Screen when it's displaying Camera Angles, either with the Multi-Camera Preview Monitor on or off? A window that can be viewed in Full Screen should always allow full screen preview, regardless of what it is displaying!
Why is this feature important to you?
Consistency and a logical, productive UI is beneficial to all editors. The fact that the Program Monitor window can be viewed in Full Screen in one instance but not another, is illogical, inconsistent, and a productivity hindrance that should be fixed.
Ideally, Adobe could give us a separate, Full Screen capable window for displaying Camera Angles. This way users could display their Camera Angles on one monitor, and their Program Monitor on a second monitor, all in Full Screen mode, without the visual polution of a windowed interface whenever that interface does not contribute to the editing task at hand! Here is my thread regarding that request: Help Improve Premiere! FR: Separate, maximizable Multi-camera view. However, should Adobe be unable or unwilling to provide us with the suggested interface that would provide maximum customizability/flexibility, at the very least having the option to view our Program Monitor in Full screen mode when viewing Camera Angles would be useful.

The iSight is either 640x480 (older MBPs) or 1280x1024 (newer MBPs). Displaying it 'full screen' especially in an older MBP (which is what you have if you're posting in the correct forum) would result in a horribly pixelated image, not 'high resolution'. The apps that show the iSight feed are showing it at its native resolution, and that's a limitation of the hardware. If you need higher resolution, you can attach a higher resolution video camera (for example, my Panasonic DV camcorder connects via FireWire and can be used as a webcam).

Editing a movie with video from two camera angles

I made video of the home birth of our third child using a miniDV and a Nisis DV6 camera. The DV6 has very lousy sound, but some of the DV6 video was critical to use for a period of time. I imported the overlapping clips, exported the audio on both, muted the DV6 audio, then moved the audio from the miniDV clip so it lined up with the DV6 audio. With a little more fading in/out on the audio from the two tracks I seemlessly/gracefully switch camera angles and preserved good audio.
I have a comment (a wishlist item) and a question. I wish I would have had the ability to take the two overlapping video clips, line up the audio waveforms and at the same time overlap the video clips on the timeline. I wish I could have then played both clips at the same time with the ability to switch between the two camera angles. I would take the ability to view both camera angles without the ability to switch between camera angles in real time, but then I'd wish I had the ability to specify which clip to use at any point in the timeline rather than having to manually insert the video from one camera angle or the other the other then insert a transition. Does any Apple-compatible video editing software thats provide some or all of the capability I desire? If Apple software developers are out there I hope you think this might be another great innovation.

As David and Karsten said: FinalCut Express is really the software, you are looking for. I have only worked with it twice (unfortunately I am still waiting for my - first - Mac now for two weeks, so as a Win-user I had no chance to have a more intensive look on FCE). But it is a great program.
What David said about the learning: It is quite easy. I have learned digital video editing on Adobe Premiere and on a Avid-machine, which is nearly the same as handling FinalCut. You'll perhaps need one evening. But after that you'll have the basic knowledge for editing your videos. The rest comes step by step. It is just learning-by-doing.
Another advice: Adobe Premiere Elements is also a good program for what your want to do. But it is much cheaper and a bit easier to learn. For editing simple home-movies perhaps the better choice. It has even a build-in DVD-authoring.

Using Audio Sync for Multi-Cam Edits Premiere Pro CC

Hello everyone - I wanted to share some issues I've come across while using Audio to sync multiple camera angles....
For my music video shoot I have two cameras and an external recorder where I capture the audio and then edit in GarageBand or Adobe Audition. The problem I've discovered is that when I sync the clips using audio it will degrade the quality of my finalized audio clip.
Basically, something is happening to the audio clip quality once Premiere completed the synchronization process. I've rendered the video, exported the video etc... But there is still audio quality degradation.
I've compared this with Final Cut Pro X and the Audio in FCP X remains unchanged and is not altered in any way.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Update: I just happened happened to have a pair of ath m50s lying around.... put them on and I can see that in the multi cam sequence, I can hear only out of the left ear... once I drag and drop something to my timeline the audio's good again...
Sorry for this question... operator???
I shoot tech videos on YouTube and I edit my own videos, so I guess I am the operator & observer here...
Am shooting a tutorial...
Cam 1 - My Camcorder that shoots the phone
Cam 2 - Actually a screen recorder that records the steps on screen & audio from webcam
Audio - Blue Spark Digital recording to audacity
Now if I merge Cam 1 & Audio or Cam 2 & Audio alls fine... I can check the audio meters and everythings the same as before
But if I create a multicamera sequence then the audio output is about 20% lower (and no Premiere's not using the audio source from Cam1 or 2 here since they are too low and am 100% sure its not either of those)
I guess am messing up something but am unable to identify what..
Syncronize Point - Audio
Track Channel - 1
Sequence Preset - Automatic
Audio Sequence Settings - Camera 1
Audio Channels Preset - Automatic (or Mono since my Blue Spark records in mono)
Camera Names - Enumerate Cameras
Any Idea where am messing up?

Hello! I have an iMac that I lose the audio output for certain profiles. The audio output will work on one profile, but when switching to another profile, I lose the audio output. I've reset the NVRAM/PRAM and that hasn't solved the problem. Help!

Hello!
I have an iMac (running iOS 10.6.8, not upgraded to Lion) that I'm having audio issues with. I have 5 profiles on this machine. The audio output will work fine out of one profile, then when switched to another, the profile will not have any audio output at all. Rebooting the machine will occasionally solve the problem. Administrator permissions are not the issue since this has also manifested itself on the administrator profile. I've also reset the NVRAM/PRAM and that hasn't helped. All my software is up to date and I recently upgraded the RAM to 2x2GB sticks. This problem was existing prior to the RAM upgrade.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

CS6 Multicam Edit - Is there a way to turn off some camera angles when the system gets strained?

I'm doing a multicam edit in cs6 and the 5 camera angles I have are straining my system. I have two main angles and three kind of back up go pro angles that I don't need most of the time. But I don't want to get rid of them either. Is there a way to turn off monitoring some of the angles at times so that video will playback smoother? Then when I need the other angles, switch them back on when I want? The video is so choppy with all 5 angles monitoring at once that multicam editing is basically impossible. I'm editing on what's supposed to be a very fast system at work but it's not fast enough...Thanks!

I'm not aware of any way to do this. You might want to invest in a battery case if this is a problem for you; our users here all have them.
Please submit your feature request to Apple at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback; I agree it's a good idea.

When switching away from a particular web site, the audio often continues.

When switching away from an eagle cam web site, the audio often continues after leaving the site or will stop then restart later.
Only happens from this one web site but occurs on two different computers using Firefox browser but not others. This seemed to start with Firefox 10 and continues with FF 11. I have watched this particular web site off and on for a year and never had this experience with the audio restarting after leaving the site.
This is the only site I have found where this happens and it happens only with FF, not IE or Chrome. I also learned that a friend has the same problem on the same site on her computer.
Any help resolving this is appreciated.

Sounds like a problem with the plugin-container process that doesn't stop properly and keeps playing the sound.

Why is the Camera app so slow when switching modes?

When I switch modes between still-photo and video (or back) in the Camera application, there is a 2-3 second pause while the "iris" appears and disappears. Ok, that's not very long, but when you are in a rush to capture "that moment" it can be all the difference between "great" and "rats!".
I get that an app can take a few seconds to load, but switching camera modes should be nearly instantaneous, shouldnt it? Do other people see the same delay, or is it just me? Are there any known tweaks to improve this delay?

I don't know why Apple doesn't fix this problem or even acknowledge it. I have had this problem since 1.1.2. Upgrading through 1.1.3, 1.1.4 and on the 2.1 has not helped. My SMS loading time varies between 3 and 10 seconds. I maintain all my SMS messages deleted (which I should not have to do). Due to lack of support from Apple I purchased a Nokia phone for my son. At least basic phone features work like they should.

Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
Any way to fix it?

only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.
