Audio playback, frame by frame

In previous versions of FCP (e.g. 3), when I would drag the playback point through a clip, the audio would play for that frame. It resulted in the audio sounding "cut up". With 4.5, I can no longer do this. I found it helpful when trying to determine the exact frame that contained the beginning of a sound, which is has been very useful for syncing up multiple angles.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn this back on?
Thank you!

Do you have external video playback on? If so, is your audio following your video playback?
What are your different settings for View>External Video, View> Audio Playback, and View> Video Playback?

Audio Playback Frame by Frame - Enabling & Disabling

Hello,
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Initial searching has been fruitless.
Using Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
I have managed to somehow disable audio playback when moving the playhead frame by frame & when scrubbing through.
This occurs both in Viewer window & when clip is on the timeline.
The audio meter also doesn't register/update any change.
Many thanks.

Fred:
Check View > Audio Scrubbing or SHIFT+S.
Hope that helps !

No audio in frame by frame playback?

Hi, have just downloaded the free version of QT as I needed frame by frame playback but I also need the audio. Can anybody out there tell me how to get the audio in frame by frame or better still in slow motion please??

I've recently upgraded my QT V10.0 with the MPEG-2 playback component and I'm getting no audio.
If you re-read the product description you will find the QT MPEG-2 Playback component is only a video component. If the audio is not compatible with your current QT component configuration, then you will not have get any audio. (E.g., this includes "muxed" AC3, PCM, etc. audio formats.) On the other hand, since you already have this component installed, you can use the free MPEG Streamclip to either demux or convert the content to FCE edit compatible compression formats with audio like paired M2V and AIFF (demux option) files or convert to any preferred editing format like AIC/Uncompressed or AIC/AIFF files.

Audio dropped frames

Several of my mini DV tapes have audio dropped frames. Intermittent audio gaps are mostly one frame in length.
There's no problem at all with the visual portion of the video.
Does Audition have a way to automatically fill in audio gaps? If not, can anyone name another software solution for this problem?
thank you a lot

Audition cannot do it automatically. Anyway it depends very much on the nature of the audio that is missing.
That said using the Spectral View in Auditions Editing screen will make fairly easy to do manual repairs by selecting, copying and pasting similar audio over the gaps.

Audio Key Frames Scrambled On Import From P Pro

I'm importing three audio tracks from Premier Pro 5.5 into Audition, and each audio track may contain several dozen separate clips.
On some tracks I loose all my audio key frames, and the "rubber band" has snapped
to the bottom and the track has no output. On other tracks, I'm loosing about a third of the key frames, poof, gone. In some cases, the key frames have been moved around within the clip,
say I created a fade up at the beginning with two key frames, and after import the first key frame, at -00 db, has moved ahead five seconds, and the second key frame is
at the proper level, but also has been slid over five seconds. Other key frames randomly drop to -00 db from where they originally were.
In P Pro I adjust my audio automation by setting key frames and moving the "rubber band". I then export by Edit > Edit In Audition > Sequence and check the "Send
Clip Vloume Key Frames" box, and un-check the "Render Audio Clips Effects" box. In the P Pro timeline I have not seclected any individual clips or tracks, I don't
believe I need to.
A multitrack session opens in Audition, and my key frames are scrambled up.
Using Mac Pro with OS 10.6.8 , P Pro 5.5.2 and purchased the CS 5.5 Creative Suite last December
Thanks in advance for any help that may keep me from going nuts Tom/ Miami

Thanks for the reply and I do apologize for some of the newbie questions, I downloaded MPEG StreamClip and attempted the convert.
I have to admit the following QT movie inspector details of my original video are below and play fine in QT but once I convert the video appears choppy at times almost as if clips are being dropped?
Is my default format simply not compatible?
If not then what would you recommend my settings be in MPEG Streamclip to export without any choppiness?
Again I do thank you for your help!!!!

Export to tape, audio, or frame on CS4

Hi;
I just upgraded from PP2 to CS4 and I click Export, and I don't have the export choices for audio (export) or a frame.
Also, will CS4 accept the projects I already have started in PP2?
Thanks
Tom

Be sure to see if you qualify for a free upgrade to CS5 (shipped yesterda).
You can export audio or frames - the frame export option in CS5 is improved and you don't have to go thru AME
Yes, CS4 will accept CS2 projects.

Checking playback frame rate

Hi Guys,
The answer to this question maybe painfully obvious, but I have just installed the Ati X1900 for G5 and want to check how well it's doing I'm going to use the test files as in this discussion:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4626023&#4626023
My question is, where do you check the playback frame rate in Motion, again sorry of this is obvious I just can't seem to see it.
Your help would be very much appreciated,
James
Message was edited by: James Ratnarajah1

Hi,
if you get the preferences up, and go to the Appearance pane, there is a check box to show the frame rate during playback. Thhis will then apear in the bar below the toolbar icons when you play back.
thanks

Bugged audio playback? When I start working with more than 1 audio track.

Hi!
I have been using premiere elements 12 for editing FullHD videos.
Brand new for me just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
Now during the last couple weeks I have had this MAJOR proglem with editing the audio.
This problem is headache and turns my simple editing into almost impossibilites.
I have had this problem with all my projects. _ALL_
Usually the problem seems to appear when I want to start working with several audio tracks.
At somepoint my projects just get ruined, I simply cannot hear the audio tracks.
The audio starts to disapear randomly from all the audio tracks.
It is not only playback problem. When I exported the video, the audio was partly missing, same as the project.
I have tried to look help on forums and search all what I could find, but havent been able to solve this.
Small fix has slightly helped:
I export audio to single track and bring it back to project. This works but I still usually have more editing to do.
I simply cannot understand why the playback disapears, I fear it is a bug.
I found lot of earlier version problems on people with similar type of problems, but no help for this version of program.
To solve the matter I have changed my audio setting in PE12.
Tried Premiere Elements WDM Sound and ASIO4ALL V2, but same problem on both.
I have looked up that my audio playback device and PE12 matches, and are not muted, and volumes maxed.
I have deleted my C:\ appdata\roaming\adobe premiere elements & premiere elements 12 folder preferences.. not helping..
I press the update pretty much everyday hoping for new version.. But yes, program keeps telling me its the latest.
I usually only work with 3 audio track maxinum. And I am doing really the most basic stuff here..
I have set all my audios to foreground and it has given me best results, but it does not seem to take the problem away as at somepoint randomly my audio playback is missing again, randomly across the playback.
Please anyone? I am feeling hopeless here.
Info on my computer:
Operating system: Win7
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) x4 955 processor 3.20 GHz
memory (RAM): 4GB
system: 64bit

First of all, thank you for replying my message!
I will go and try to answer best I can.
Source media properties:
Progressive frame rate, I record this from a game.
Recording program: dxtory
codec: Lagarith Lossless codec
Format: avi
Frame width: 1920
Frame height: 1080
Data rate: 1990656kbps
total bit rate 1992192kbps
Frame rate 30/frames/seccond
Audio of video properties:

Audio sample rate 48 kHz
In addition to that I use wav files for music and narrate
Music files sizes 20-50mb
bit rate: ~1411kbps
In total sizes of audio involved is usually something like 300mb
What are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size readings.
I opened new project and this is what i got:
Editing mode: HD 1080i
Timebase: 25,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
Audio is 48000 Hz
(I dont know how to change these, btw. Program don't seem to let me change editing mode.
I also looked up my most recent project and found these settings:
Editing Mode: DSLR
Timebase: 30,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
..and same audio settings
Do the problems persist if you start a new project? Do you find the audio problems develop when the Timeline content is fairly well developed or can the problems occur when there a minimal amount of content of those tracks? Let us look at the size and duration of this project.
Yes, I have had this problem with all my projects. Sometimes it goes away tho, just enough for me to work bit more. My work progress usually starts by clipping the video material, like 1h material to 8minutes in clips. After that I want to work with audio tracks, and here problems start! When I start working with more than 1 track, so the problem is at later stage. To fix the problem a small fix I have used, I export audio like music and effects tracks together to 1 wav and bring it back. After that, I start working with narrate track. To describe the problem with audio:
Audio Randomly starts to disapear when I playback, and can also be gone if I export the video out.
My source videos total size are usually within 80Gb max limit and audio edit material 300mb total.
In my last project my biggest source video was 47GB and leingth of 1h 4m, in addition to that I had 3 smaller videos, sizes of 1GB, 1,54GB and 300MB.
Is there any evidence that you are accidentially moving the audio track rubberband to alter the audio volume. That rubberband is the orange line that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip when you are looking at the wave form display style of that audio track. The rubberband represents audio volume.
No, audio volumes might have been adjusted in my tracks but they are present. The problem is usually like ~2-5seconds, a random audio track can be heard (like music or narrate) or just no sounds at all. This makes it very difficult to work with the audio. Also I gotta say that this problem starts by simply having the 2-3 audio tracks.. In my recent project the only adjustment I used to edit the audio was fade in/out.
I don't have any other audio problems with any other programs.
I am more than happy to provide more information if needed. I hope this information helps.
In addition I can say that when I close Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it crashes. No idea why.
I have also looked up my firewall settings, anything involved adobe and premiere..
In addition some effects like HD text templates make "Adobe Media Core CS6" crash. I tend to just not use em, or if I need em, I add em at end of the edits.
I hope this helps, I would really like to solve this problem.
Thank you alot for taking the time to answer! I welcome anyone to help mee too! Please giev links to similar problems too. Thank you everybody!

Sync audio playback to external monitor.

Is there any way in FCPX to delay the audio playback to be in sync with an external monitor.
In FCP7 it was called "Frame delay".
I have no standalone audio delay available.
I´m cutting music videos and while the external video (BM Intensity Extreme via HDMI) is only delayed 2-3 frames, it is virtually useless...

You might be able to pull something out of this article that could help:

Turning OFF Audio Playback during capture?

When capturing a tape from my video camera in Premiere Pro, How do I turn off the audio playback while recording?
I want to record the audio and the video, but I don't want to hear the tape's audio playing back through my computer speakers while recording. The technician I spoke to over the phone was extremely unhelpful and suggested I simply mute my computer speakers if I don't want to hear it. What if I want to listen to music or am trying to watch another video file in a different program without having to hear the premiere pro audio blaring over it. Please someone tell me the rude technician I spoke to did not understand clearly what I was asking and if anyone knows how to accomplish this or can shed anymore light on the topic.
I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with an adobe tech support rep who took 40 minutes to correctly understand the issue I was calling for and then informed me that the functionality does not exist within the premiere pro software. Sorry if this comes off as a little edgy, but my tech "support" call was extremely frustrating and now to find that premiere pro wont let you listen to anything in any other program while recording seems a little rediculous.
Thanks,

It is risky to run other applications while capturing footage. May lead to dropped frames. I have found that Premiere is a resource hog and more likely to have this problem than other capture programs. Not that Premiere is a bad program for capture, but you might find an alternative that provides a better solution for your specific need.
It has been a few years since using Scenalyzer, but I always found that program to be extremely reliable and flexible. And it has the capability of silencing the audio during capture. Since you didn't say what format you are capturing I can't say whether Scenalyzer will work for you. Check it out.
I don't think Harm was being condesending at all. He is simply warning you about the potential problems your system may face by attempting to multi-task in the manner you describe. It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the advice you seek here.
Good luck

Audio playback delay using M-Audio Audiophile

I have an MBP, 2.66 GHz i7, 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 Ram. External monitor on DVI. OS X 10.6.8
I've just started using FCP X and have cut one movie with it ( http://youtu.be/SUQLTk4aCS8 )
However I am now experiencing a problem that audio playback is about 10 frames behind the video, even though the waveform on the screen lines up with the video.
I am using an M-Audio Audiophile firewire audio interface to playback audio. When I switch back to the internal soundcard audio sync is fine. This problem started after I updated the M-Audio driver, as the one on the MBP was the one that transferred across when I copied all my files from my previous MBP (I can't remember Apple's name for this process, when you connect the new computer to old computer by firewire and transfer all files and settings automatically)
The M-Audio control panel wasn't working on this MBP so I updated to the newset driver, the 64 bit version. I assume the i7 and OS X 10.6.8 is 64 bit but I am not positive as I could not find any guidance on my computer or elsewhere.
Can anyone help me with this? I prefer the sound quality of my Audiophile, I find the internal soundcard very trebly. Just want to get rid of the playback delay.

Thanks for responding.
It seems quite strange that the driver update caused the problem...maybe I should roll back to the previous driver? worth a try I guess...although this is a new machine so doing that could cause other problems.
ANNNNOYING....on the internal soundcard, whenever I click the mouse or scroll the timeline I hear annoying clicks and pops thru my speakers.
What kind of 'pro' software doesnt let u use an external soundcard. I think Apple really screwed up here. I feel sorry for everyone who invested in full-on FCP suites and training time for editing feature films who are no longer going to get updates and support.

Audio playback when scrubbing

It's been usefull to be able to hear the audio when playing back at 2x or 3x or to watch the audio meter frame by frame. Somehow I think I've changed a setting (attempting to correct another issue) and suddenly as of two weeks ago I only get audio on regular playback, not on 2x, 3x, or frame-by-frame.
Any ideas on what setting or control might bring this feature back? I can't find it!
advTHANKSance!!!!

<happyDance>Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!</happyDance>

Any luck with audio playback on the iPad?

A general question to everyone using the HTML5 converter.
I have yet to find the magic combination for consistent audio playback on the iPad. Sometimes it plays, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the audio will play on a slide, then after refreshing the page it doesn't play, even if I sit and wait for it.... Please trust that I've clicked the audio button to download it. & I've compressed the crap out of the audio, not to mention I've tested this with a short presentation and a larger presentation, object audio vs slide audio... Results are the same. The audio is fully converting, as it plays on my desktop via Safari.
Is anyone else experiencing similar audio issues?

I don't have any answers for the inconsistency of audio playback, but I am going to have someone much more versed in java take a look at it and maybe provide some insight. Really, I have no idea.
If your getting consistent audio playback the second time through, great. I wish that was happening for me. I am getting about half of my 19 slides to play audio, and never the first or second slide.
I was having the audio repeat on each slide, but I was able to control it somewhat by manipulating the code. One way is to make sure your timeline in each slide of your Captivate file ends when the audio ends, and any object that is pausing the slide pauses within the audio timeline...... but what I found was happening is that the "pause" for each click box I have on each slide that keeps the module from automatically advancing to the next had a frame reference that was outside the frame area of the audio file....in the converted code.
if you get to the part in the html code of the converted file where it lists each slide and it's objects, check the frame reference for the audio against any object that pauses the slide....(below in bold):
in my example, the audio plays from frame 1 to 356, and then the click box pauses at 355, before I edited it, it was pausing at 359 (1 frame before the end of slide 1), causing the audio to start playing again.
Everyone's project is different, but this worked for me, and I hope it gives you some direction.

No Audio Playback due to Error Message "Disk is too slow. (Prepare) (-10001)"

Out of the blue, no audio playback. Was working just fine earlier today.
I repeatedly get the error message:
Disk is too slow. (Prepare)
(-10001)
NOTE: I have more than enough disc space. That is NOT the issue.
I also just got a second error message:
Part of the Project was not played
This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time. To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
NOTE: Odd as I have only 2 tracks in the GarageBand file.
Any others experience this? Suggestions?

Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
You'll have to setup the program again.
cheers

Premiere Elements 12 - Gaps in audio playback

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 12: when I play video in timeline or preview window, there are lots of gaps and pauses in audio playback, even though video is playing smoothly. Usually the pattern goes like this: 2 seconds of clean audio - 0,5 seconds silence - 2 seconds of clean audio... etc.
I have tried the following:
- change audio buffer settings
- change audio device (I have tested with integrated audio chip ("High Definition Audio"), M-Audio Fast Track Pro and cheap USB audio interface - same results with all of them)
- start a new project with correct settings and import only one file
- disable background antivirus monitoring
Usually source material is AVCHD 1440x1080 25fps (PAL, MTS-file) from small Sony camera, but this problem seems to continue even if I insert only still photo and mp3 audio to timeline. CPU load is about 6% during playback. It seems like Premiere Elements makes these gaps to playback signal before sending it to audio hardware?
Computer specs: Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3,4GHz, 16 GB RAM, 128GB SSD drive for OS & software and 2.0TB 7200 rpm drive for video, Intel HD Graphics 4600, Windows 8 (64bit).
I would be really grateful if someone could give me some tips to solve this annoying audio playback problem.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this problem occurs all the time - even when video is rendered in timeline.

Thanks for the quick response, TonyPh12345. Clearly not what I was hoping for but not unexpected. BB
