Audio levels raised when AIFF exports imported to Pro Tools

Hello -
I've exported ("as AIFF" command) multiple (channel grouped) tracks as AIFF mono files and imported them to Pro Tools. Several of the exported AIFF files, however, peak (clip, run hot) within PT. The original audio clips in FCP do not peak, nor do the AIFF files if I drop them back into the FCP sequence from which they came. Why is this happening, and how might I prevent it?
Exports are 16bit/48khz, which is how they were recorded in camera and edited in FCP.
Any thoughts?
thanks

G5 dual 800 Mac OS X (10.4.8) FCP 5.0.4; PT HD 7.0.3

not th efirst time I've seen or heard people complain of FCP's levels being too high when exporting ... I'm not privvy to the codebase so can't explain the why's and wherefore's but can offer some workarounds to try:
either bring down the Master fader in the Audio Mixer window or select all and press Cmd-Opt-L then pull the levels down a few db "Relative" to their current level.

Final Cut Pro Audio Levels Low when exporting to mp3 and mp4

Hi everyone! When I export audio from Final Cut as an mp3, my levels are very low. When I export footage as an mp4, the audio is low as well. But before exporting, my levels are right at or below 0. So they are where they should be. So for example, when I open the audio in Adobe Audion or Logic, they could almost be doubled before peaking within those programs. Could this be a compression issue? And input would be helpful. Thanks!

Are you working 0n 10.0.9? If not, update FCPX and see whether that solves the problem.

Audio Drift after exporting OMF to Pro Tools and importing back AIFF

Hi,
I have an HDV 1080i50 Final Cut Pro project at 25 FPS (PAL). I exported a quicktime video without sound, as well as an OMF file of the audio. We mixed the OMF audio file using the quicktime file as reference on Pro Tools. In Pro Tools, the mix was done on 25 FPS, same as the original project. Synch was good.
However, after saving the file as AIFF 48/16 and importing it into the original FCP project, there is considerable audio synch drift with the original video.
It was edited in PAL, exported as PAL, mixed as PAL, but now it's not synching with the original PAL video in FCP. It still synchs up with the PAL quicktime, however.
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas???

Audio level difference of 18dB after importing AVCHD file in FCE

After I import an AVCHD clip via Log & Transfer in FCE4 the right audio channel is 18dB louder than the left audio channel. Effectively the sound comes through the right channel.
When I import the same clip in iMovie '08 the channels are equally loud in iMovie.
When I export this clip from iMovie '08 to FCE XML, then import it into FCE, the audio channels are equally loud in FCE!!!
Can anybody explain this?
The preference setting for audio input in FCE is set to Matrix Audio.
Clips are shot with Panasonic HDC-SD1.

Try plain stereo.

Losing collections when I export/import as catalog???

I have 174k photos in my LR3 catalog and am finally getting to the point where I'm seeing serious slowdowns. For the past month or so I've been backing up and optimizing my catalog VERY regularly -- which helps at least temporarily -- but it's time for a better solution. I shoot a lot of road races (5k, half marathons, etc.) and I'd like to be able to archive old race photos to a separate catalog and then periodically move additional batches of photos there. After bouncing this off the folks at lightroomforums.net, here's what I ended up doing:
1. Backup and optimize main catalog.
2. Select photos from old races, making sure to have all filters turned off, so as to be able to grab ALL relevant photos with certainty.
3. "Export as Catalog..." and specify a name ("OldRaces") and location. I'm checking the first box ("Export selected photos only") in the dialog and leaving the other two unchecked, because I don't want to do anything with the photos/negatives themselves.
In the future, I'll want to be able to move more races from the Main catalog to the OldRaces catalog be exporting/importing as catalog, but for now I have a more pressing concern. When I followed the steps above, my Collection Sets appear in the OldRaces catalog I just created, but they don't contain any of the Collections they're supposed to, and therefore no photos. Here are a couple of screen captures to illustrate, looking at part of the photos from 2008...
The original "Main" catalog: http://grab.by/7ObA
Same thing in the new "OldRaces" catalog: http://grab.by/7Oby
Note that ALL photos from 2008 have been exported/imported as catalog, following the steps above, and should show up in their respective Collections. On the advice of LightroomQueen, I've since made a couple of changes, all to no avail:
- Using the 08DD Set as my test case, I removed "08DD-" from the name of each of the 3 Collections, so that the first few digits DON'T match the name of the Set.
- Same thing at the next level, renamed the "08" Set to "2008" so the name of a Set didn't match the first two characters of it's child Set.
- Updated from LR 3.2 to LR 3.3 (on a mac, btw).
After each of these changes, I've exported/imported as catalog. Sorry to say none of this did any good. The "2008" Set is nowhere to be found; the "08DD" Set now sits at the top level of my collections, alongside "08" and "09" and it contains no photos.
LightroomQueen also suggested right-clicking on a Set and choosing Export as Catalog, but that's not an option for me. I can do it with Collections (same miserable results) but not with Collection Sets. Similarly, I don't see this option when selecting multiple Collections and right-clicking.
From everything I've read, I'm doing precisely what I should do for the results I need, but something's clearly not working properly. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dane

Update...
After updating to 3.3 and renaming all of my collections and collection sets so there are no instances of parents/children sharing the first few characters of their names, I started over. In the Main catalog, I selected all 25000 photos I've tagged with the keyword "archived" and exported them as a catalog named OldRaces. Perfect. OldRaces has two top-level collection sets: 2008 and 2009. Each of those sets contains several appropriate sets corresponding to specific races. Each race set contains the appropriate collections, and those collections contain the photos they should. Done, right? Nope.
I next switched back to the Main catalog to continue where I left off with the 2009 races. I selected another 6000-ish photos from the next couple of races and exported them to a new catalog called "Temp." I then switched to the OldRaces catalog and imported as catalog from Temp. I now have around 31000 photos in OldRaces, but none of them remember that they belong in collections.
Those 6000 photos represented three races, each in its own collection set under the umbrella of the 2009 set. After importing them to OldRaces, those three sets are at the top level of collections rather than falling under 2009. Not a big deal as I can move them easily enough, but the real problem is that those three sets are empty. Each set should contain several collections which hold the photos from that race, but they contain nothing at all.
Next step, I relaunched LR with the Temp set I had used as an export/import middle ground. (As an aside, why in the world do I even need to do this? Why doesn't LR's Export as Catalog command have the capability to designate a target catalog so I can export directly from Main to Old Races? It seems unnecessarily complicated to have to export to a temporary catalog only to turn around and re-import into the desired catalog. Another question for another day, I guess.) In the Temp catalog, the 2009 collection set is conspicuously absent but the three race-specific sets are there. More importantly, each contains the collections -- and, in turn, the photos -- that they should. So it looks as though exporting from the Main catalog is relatively glitch-free. The missing 2009 set bothers me but doesn't cause any real problem that I can see. The problem seems to be importing from the Temp catalog to the OldRaces catalog. Given that the 2009 set didn't survive the export to Temp, I can't expect it to miraculously reappear in OldRaces. So the import to OldRaces gives me the sets it should but not the contents (collections filled with photos) of those sets.
Does this shed any more light on the issue for the gurus out there?
Thanks!

WIll I have duplicate problems when I Export / Import Project?

This is my first try at Exporting / Importing a Project to benefit from having Aperture on the road on a MacBook.
I run a secondary instance of Aperture on my MacBook with a managed library. I used it last week to rate, and adjust 40 images from a shoot while on the road. Those images are in Project ABC. My objective is to not lose all the adjustment work done while away now that I wish to re-locate these images to my primary instance of Aperture which runs on an iMac. I won't need them any longer on the MacBook.
I've exported Project ABC, and it's now sitting on the desktop of the iMac ready for import into Aperture where the library is also managed.
Between the shoot and today, however, I had uploaded the same images from my CF card to the iMac's Aperture library into Project XYZ. No work has been performed on any of them, but the image names are identical to those in Project ABC waiting to be imported.
My plan is to import Project ABC, and, assuming everything comes over in good shape, to delete the unadjusted masters/versions in Project XYZ one by one.
Question 1: When image GEN_1234.nef with all its adjustments, etc., contained in Project ABC, is imported, will Aperture have a problem that GEN_1234.nef (unadjusted) already is in the library in Project XYZ?
Question 2: I've checked the MacBook after exporting, and Project ABC looks as though nothing ever happened. Does this sound right? I'd expected the Masters to be gone, but "M" toggles between the master and the adjusted version.
Thanks.

How to export/import database from tools menu in sql developer.

Hi,
I need to export database from a server and import it on another db server using the export database function under tools menu in SQL developer. How do I import it? This is for Oracle 10g database.
Thanks

Depends what are you trying to do? Are you making a database copy or just creating an empty schemea or creating schema with the data?
With 10g, you have also options of using datapump (expdp/impdp) and conventional export/import which is very usefule and easy to use when it comes to create a clone (duplicate schema) or an export/import of some objects.
If you right click on table object, you have options of export ddl/export data and import data but thats different thant what expdp/impdp or conventional export/import provides. For very small database you can use sqldeveloper but consider
using other above mentioned options. Hope this helps

Having Audio Glitching Issues in Video Export from Premier Pro CS6

I have been exporting video for the first time from Pro CS 6. The audio I am using plays perfectly in the timeline, but after exporting, when I play it back, it sounds very glitchy and it stutters quite a bit. I really hear a "digital fluttering".
I am using fairly common H264 settings for YouTube, and have tried different formats with the same effect. The audio is 48khz at 24bit, and shouldn't be having any problems. Its actually one song, and I am not using any of the audio from the camera footage. I haven't changed the audio at all, so it's not a conversion problem.
I have even tried to re-marry the song in pro tools, but it just seems to have the same effect. I can't seem to find any threads that address this, except for one, and the solution was not applicable.
Has anyone encountered this issue and figured out the solution?
I am not asking the box to do anything less than totally ordinary, so am a bit confused on this one.

yes.
here is a sample of the video and audio

I used the CC Snowfall, but when I export to Premiere Pro it shows up as a grey background? Help!?

I used the CC Snowfall to create a snow effect for my video, once I export into Premiere Pro it just shows up as a grey background?

We can't tell what's wrong from your description. A nice screen shot of your AE project will be very helpful. Of particular interest: the effects pane for the snowfall effect.

Exporting AAF for Pro Tools.

So I got an OMF from FTP into STP with no problem, only to find that I couldn't export it again - hopefully a feature in the new STP? Anyway, my only option was to export an AAF (don't have the original FCP timeline to work with) - this audio needs to go to Pro Tools.
But my Pro Tools guy is saying he can't do anything with the AAF file if it's not consolidated into one file - like the OMF normally is.
So - is there a way to export a consolidated AAF? I don't see the option.

Our round trip workflow works, but still hoping for a better alternative in the future.
Duplicate & Rename the sequence for export (just a good habit to have... "videoblah.002, 003, etc). Then clean up any potential audio / video problems; clips that are not enabled, duplicate audio, delete blank tracks, and all the stuff the seems to crowd in the back of my timeline.
-It is a good idea to label your audio tracks for transfer (right-click> rename)
After that I export an OMF. (File>Export>OMF) and select the settings below:
That's just audio so for video, I export a quicktime H.264 video for ProTools DVtoolkit (video import plugin). Protools will except H.264 .MOV files, but it will not ingest H.264 .MP4's. It will also handle 1920x1080 files, but if I am rendering out a long project I like to keep the file size smaller by cutting the resolution in half or more.
The audio guy then takes it from there and gives me back a 24-bit single track audio wav file.
Thus far it seems to be a workflow, but if I want to go back and make changes, then either I have to do it all over again, or tell the audio guy specifically what needs done.
All in all, it's not efficient as using a roundtrip workflow such as AVID > ProTools and back again in AAF form.
Hope that helps.

How can I export midi to pro tools from my iPad garage band

I'd like to take songs I've written in midi on the iPad garage band, export the midi files to my PC which uses pro tools 10 so I can work on them more there, and use the score creator...here is why, when I sit around and write a song on iPad, I'm using virtual instruments, I'd like to be able to first, have more power..ie pro tools..to mix the tracks, then also be able to print sheet music from the midi so I can recreate the midi tracks with real instruments, when I'm writing the stuff with midi on garage band, it's I can't remember what I played where by the time I've moved the midi notes around a little etc etc..and I'd like the actual recording to be real instruments not virtual, as I want a very professional sounding recording.. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

If the folders were created in the Photos app on the iPad, they don't really contain copies of the photos. They contain pointers to those photos that allow them to appear in the albums that you create. Consequently, they cannot be imported to the computer. Those albums are for local organization on the iPad only And cannot be imported.
You should be able to select the indicidual phots that you want to import, as far as I know. I can do it on a Mac using iPhoto or Image Capture, so I assume that Windows will allow you to pick and choose which photos you want to import.

Having trouble with DV NTSC export file for Pro Tools.

Pro Tools only takes NTSC format video. For some reason every single DV NTSC file that has been exported freezes in a certain spot and in other portions tends to flicker. I'm not so sure as to why that is. I tried exporting it through the QuickTime Movie option which always works, but gives me the previously stated problems. I tried exporting it through the QuickTime Conversion many times as well; the problem with doing it with this manner is that the video is just white, although the sound still works. I've rendered everything many times. At this point I was thinking about reimporting the raw footage from the P2 cards.
Has anyone encountered this problem? Or have any suggestions? At this point I'm not sure what's wrong.

Can I import a Pro Tools OMF Session into Audition CC?

I need to work on a session recorded in Pro Tools. Can I import an OMF file/session into Audition CC?

Yes

Trying to import a pro tools session in logic, everything sounds very slow

My buddy told me it's probably the sample rate and I have to match it to what the pro tools session was, I'm sure thats all that it is, but wanted to double check with you guys as I'm not at the studio right now and dont have internet there.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It's set at the wrong sample rate. Check the audio files, and match logic's sample rate to match.
Cheers
