Audio not accompanying video in capture

Suddenly my system stopped capturing the audio associated with video clips. I'm using PP CS4 on a Mac (Leopard) and have used this configuration including this camcorder for more than a year (and have used Premiere since 2002). The exact setup successfully imports audio with video into QuickTime and iMovie but not Premiere PCS4. I've tried every setting I can think of --not that I'd altered any since it last worked--but cannot find the problem. Of course this has brought editing to a halt so any help leading to a solution will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No waveform display on captured clips--definitely flatline.
No changes were made by me (intentionally) on settings between the time it was working and the time it wasn't. I did use another sound program in between and it was launched at the time of launching Premiere but I've sinced rebooted the computer a number of times, ensuring that that sound program (Soudsaver) was not launched and doing all the usual things of checking connections and with the camcorder, etc, everything as normal except that audio signal capture of video clips still fails.
Capture settings for video: abort for dropped frames unchecked; the other three are checked.
Capture settings for audio: 
          automatch 1.0 secs.,
          Mixdown type Front+Rear;
          Play audio while scrubbing;
          default track format: use file
          linear keyframe thinning
          (two other boxes unchecked)
Thanks for any help with this vexing problem.

  • When I add a video to my timeline, it only allows the audio, not the video. It is in MOV format.

    I am working on my first project with Elements Premiere, and when I add a video from my computer, it will only add it to the audio, not the movie section. All of my files are in MOV format. I am able to open the same file in Microsoft Movie Maker, just not in Elements Premiere.

    Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?
    MOV is a wrapper, what is inside YOUR wrapper - Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?

  • When I use airplay it only displays the audio not the video

    How can i display the image and the audio on airplay.  It only shows the audio when I use airplay.  Please need help.

    This is usually due to the app not allowing video to airplay for nebulous rights reasons.
    Check the app provider's website or itunes store reviews.

  • Video and Audio not in sync after capture

    Hi there,
    This is probably a common problem, I have trawled the site but can't seem to find and explanation for it.
    I'm capturing vide/audio into final cut pro from my SONY DVR. The video i have streaming into the sony DVR is from a small covert video device which records video/audio onto an SD card. SO I'm running that into the DVR and then DVR is outputting that as DV PAL firewire (uncontrollable device).
    I'm capturing the 40 minutes of video as one clip, and when i drag it into the timeline the audio and video are WAY out of sync. Is there a simple reason for why this is happening?
    It's almost as if not capturing it right.
    I hope someone can help,
    Thanks in advance.

    It is interesting that you are having this problem. I recently purchased a brand new Mac Pro (a week ago) and I am using Premiere Pro and it is doing the exact same thing. I mean this video and audio is REALLy out of sync. I tried capturing an hour at a time, and 30 minutes at a time. Still, no luck. I was debating on getting Final Cut, but after reading this post I am rethinking not only Final Cut, but using Apple all together. Part of me thinks that it is not a Premiere or Final Cut problem but a Mac OS problem. But hey, what do I know. I only edit for a living.

  • Audio not matching video

    Hello-
    I am shooting with a Canon XHA1 on 24p. I completed one project using Adobe Premiere Elements 7...no problem. However, I just shot another movie and I captured about 10 minutes worth of video. For about two minutes, the audio and video matched, but it progressively got worse. On my camera it is fine, but on the timeline and video playback the audio/video matchup is horrible (especially the last few minutes)
    Any idea on what the culprit might be?
    I dont want to have to manually go in and slice up my audio each time I edit something.

    No, this was not in the patch. When you open a new file, on the bottom left of the screen that pops up to name your project, you can click on the project settings. It gives you a whole list of things and it's under the folder called HDV...24p is an option listed there. This is Adobe Premiere Elements 7 by the way.

  • Audio not working / Video flashes to black every ~5 seconds

    Hi. For some reason, when we turn on our TV as of late, every channel is having this issue where upon turning on, the video will flash to black every 5 seconds or so, and there is no audio. The only thing that solves the problem is unplugging and replugging in the STB (Motorola QIP7232-2). 
    I've replaced the HDMI cable with a new one. No dice. 
    Netflix via the X360 works without a hitch, so it's not the TV. 
    Scanning for repair/errors on the STB comes back with no issues detected.
    Any reason why this is happening, and is anyone else experiencing this?

    I am having the same issue. Unplugging and repowering on resolve the issue, also disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable fixes it. Output from the 7232 goes to a Sony Google TV device. I also have DirecTV and never had this issue. Seems like an HDMI switching problem. Is there an easier way to reset the 7232 than just unplugging it? Or - better yet - what's the cause and how do I resolve?
    Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try on your own for the problematic STB.
    From your FiOS TV remote, go to:
    Menu -- Customer Support -- In Home Agent -- Reboot STB

  • Audio not following Video

    Hey Guys,
    I keep getting this problem. I transfer the files from FCP to DSP.
    If I view the video in the time line it looks great. But in the simulator its like an old Japanese movie where the audio voices do not align correctly with the video.
    And once its burned it doesn't align up either.
    Any tips on how I can fix this?

    Take a look here for a recent discussion and some links

  • Audio unsynced with video when capturing analog HD with Kona LHe card!

    Hey,
    This is kind of an emergency because i am in the process of logging a feature film. I am using the Kona LHe card to capture analog audio and video with the JVC BR-HD50 HDV deck. It is 720p24 HDV footage converted to analog DVCProHD 720p59.94 footage through the Kona. My issue is that the audio is about 4 or 5 seconds unsycned with the video...I am also getting some audio popping. The audio sounds fine when listening through the line mixer but it pops when i play back though FCP. I already contacted AJA (the makers of Kona) and they its a FCP problem...Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated...
    -JE

    Welcome to the forums!
    What version of FCP are you running? If you can, get to the most current version as this solves a lot of issues with the DVCPRO HD codec.
    And have you read this whitepaper?

  • Audio offset from video after capturing

    another issue i am having is at random when i capture, the audio is off by about .23 secs. i can fix it by cutting the audio and shifting it over, but is there a way to prevent this?

    Do you have "abort capture on dropped frames" and "create new clip on timecode break" preferences enabled? If not, you may have synch problems and you will probably not be able to recapture accurately.

  • Clip from Flip camera- audio not matching video

    Greetings,
    When I play my clip form the flip camera in the browser it works. I then mark what I want to put in the timeline.
    When I put it in the timeline, audio does not match with video. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I have to agree. I use Compressor constantly. It is my central hub in this formatly dysfunctional video world.
    I will also suggest that getting competent with Qmaster and Quick clusters will make Compressor a MUCH better tool.
    I recently added an i7 2.0 quad server to deal with file and print serving, web, email etc and also set it up as an unmanaged cluster on the network (giga ethernet). Between it and my MacPro, Compressor stuff is happening in a fraction of the time it used to take.  For example, just finished a 1 hr project and the encoding to m2v and ac3 for the DVD took 8 minutes - hardly enough time to get get coffee.
    x
    edit - running qmaster on a remote dual core mac may not be worth it. In testing it seems the time it takes to send the parts out to the remote machine, get them back and then put the whole thing together may take longer than keeping everything on one machine. The real benefit comes when there are lots of cores to be employed. Michael G's suggestion to head over the Digital Rebellion site to find Jon's write-up on setting up Qmaster is good advice.

  • Play the audio, not the video

  • Movies: hearing audio, not seeing video?

    I'm using iWeb '09 to design my website. I've used Final Cut Pro 6 to compress my video into a format recognized by iWeb. I've added the videos, uploaded the site, but I can't get the videos to play anything but audio when I access the site from a PC.
    Am I doing something wrong? Is there some kind of setting I'm missing? I just started working with iWeb last week.

  • How to fix audio  of a video captured from DV output of camcorder using Adobe Premiere Elements 8?

    Hello,
    I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 8 about one week ago.  I installed it and everything seem to work well in my first project.  I am new at editing videos but I was succesful in testing it by loading an existing video file in avi format from my computer and then doing some very basic editing (I splitted 2 scenes and added a title). 
    After my first succesful project (described above) I started a brand new project. Here, I want to capture a one hour video  from the dv output of a video camera. So I connected the camera to the PC and then started adobe elements 8.  Before starting the capture I only checked the boxes that said "capture video" and "capture audio" (the other 2 boxes that said download to timeline and autoanalyze were left unchecked).  After that I started the capture process.
    After the video capture was completed, a small window opened at the bottom saying that a PEAK FILE was being generated.    After the peak file generation finished, I looked at the captured video.  The video looked perfect.  However the audio of the video was too fast. By this, I mean that the voices of the people in the movie were like they were speaking at more than twice the normal speed.  Or to explain it in a different way, they sounded like the  chipmunks.
    So now I come to the question of this thread I started.  Is there a way that I can fix the audio part of the video I captured?  I will appreciate any help on this. Below I listed a few additional details in case this is needed.
    Thanks,
    ronel_8
    PS.  Here are some more details about my system:
    1) Operating System: Windows XP
    2) I am capturing the video on an external drive with 40 GB of available space. The external drive is connected to a PC via a USB connection.
    3) Computer CPU: 2.4 GHZ
    4) Computer RAM: 1.25 GB
    5) Video tape is about one hour long.

    Hello Bill and Steve,
    Your responses are very helpful.  Although I was not able to fix the problem yet I do seem to think from what you both say that my system may be too slow to capture the one hour video. In any case I will copy below more details about the system as you requested:
    1) Results from running Gspot:
    The audio section of the Gspot window was blank. That is, no information was there.  The File and Container sections say:
    File Size: 12.6 GB
    Note: 7.63 GB unneeded bytes at the end of the file
    DV Type1 AVI
    2) I did run the Gspot on another good avi file (captured to the PC with same camcorder) and says:
    Codec PCM Audio
    32kHz 1024 kb/s tot (2 chnls).
    I suppose these are the audio settings from the camera.
    3) Yes, I am capturing video from a miniDV camcorder (JVC GR-D70U).
    4) I did not defragment the external drive prior to capturing the video with the audi problem.  So I will give that I try and see if it solves the problem.
    5) The external drive I am using is formatted to NTFS.
    6) The computer is a Dell Dimension 2400, CPU: 2.4 GHZ, RAM: 1.25 GB
    7) HDD Size=74GB and 11 GB of free space.  But I am downloading video to external drive that has 60 GB free space.
    One last piece of information that may be useful.  If I open the AVI file (that I captured with Adobe Premiere Elements) with Windows Media Player, the audi sounds good.  However if I open it with Adobe it has the problem I mentioned in my previous e-mail.
    I'll aprreciate any further hints.
    Thanks again,
    ronel_8

  • Premiere Pro will not import a video I captured in Premiere.

    I am working with Premiere Pro Cs6, on an HP laptop, with Windows 8. This is the first time I was capturing video from a Canon XL H1. When I finished capturing, Premiere did not give me any further prompts, and when I preceded to try to import the video I captured, it is telling me that "there was an error decompressing audio or video." I need to finish this job by the end of the week, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
