Audio setup in CS5 and audio overlay workflow

Here is the situation: I have a 720p mpeg 2 file of a football game that is the original tv broadcast. The file contains muxed A/V. I also have the radio version of the same game in mp3 format with different announcers for the game. I would like to overlay the radio audio with the television video and keep everything in sync.
1. What would be a good workflow to achieve this? Can this be done in Premiere or Encore?
2. I would like to give the viewer the option to watch the game using the TV audio or radio audio. Similiar to a dvd movie with English or Spanish versions. How can i set up a menu option for this in Encore.
thanks for any help.

Bill, thanks for the help. I have 2 other questions.
1. How do i convert the mp3 to .WAV and
2. what is the workflow to do a "Audio Setup" option in the main menu?
thanks.

Satellite P30-145: Don't have an audio device in 'Sounds and Audio devices'

Hi guys,
I've only just fixed one problem with the help of one fantastic member but now I have another!
All of a sudden my speakers decide not to work!! I checked the volume etc and alll was fine but when I went in control panel>sounds and audio devices it says I don't have an audio device!!!
It worked fine this morning and I havn't done anything that could have done this.
These problems I'm having are all spontaneous, I don't know what's going on!
Does anyone know how I can fix this and does anyone suspect virus activity? (I have done a scan which said I don't have any)
I use a P30-145
Many thanks

Hi
Did you check the device manager?? Is the sound card listed properly in the device manager or some yellow exclamation marks appear?
Did you try to reinstall the sound driver? If not, please try it.
Of course I would also recommend to update the anti virus applications and to scan the system for virus and malware

AE cs5 and 2d animation workflow?

I have been searching for how to add AE cs5 to an classical 2d animation workflow and I have found only one vid tut. Are there any AE cs5 forums that talks about this on the internet? Have yopu seen some cool vids working with this workflow (AE cs5 and classsical 2d animation) please post their links?
Any links, videos, books, courses would be appricated.

> Do you have any links of videos showing any of these proceses.
This is a difficult way to get help. If I may use a metaphor...
On this forum, we are good at teaching you how to use the steering wheel, gear shift, pedals, and so on in your car. Some of us have driven enough or know enough about the car to be able to tell you how best to use a combination of accelerator, emergency brake, and steering to perform a drifitng turn around a hairpin curve or best get the car up a steep grade. But asking if we know of any specifically written out turn-by-turn directions to get from the east coast of North America to the west coast of North America is a bit out of our scope---and still a very vague request. I can tell you certainly that you can do it by car, but I can't and won't write out the directions.
To leave the metaphor behind: Yes, After Effects can be and is used in making 2D animations. Many of them.
It seems that if you were familiar with the basic features of After Effects, you would be better able to ask questions that would help us to help you to get where you are going.
We want to help. In that spirit, I ask that you start here, and learn enough to know what After Effects can do and what you still have specific questions about:

Will this setup run okay and audio interface advice please!

Okay, please forgive me any stupid comments. I am merely a humble musician been thrown into the deep end by some friends looking for a sound tech for their show.
Will all this play nice with each other in this setup?
2 x radio mics > 2 channel receiver > audio interface > macbook (mainstage)

I don't yet have an audio interface. Any reccomendations and suggestions welcome. USB preferred, nothing flashy just something that does the job.
Thank you!

Hi
For this to work, you would need to set up an Aggregate device using Audio MIDI Setup, and then to set Mainstage audio preferences to use this aggregate as the audio input device.
You might do better to get an audio interface with more than 2 inputs?

Audio Files in Arrangement and Audio Bin

I am doing a remix and I have been giving all the files as audio. As one can imagine I have cut and chopped all the files up, reversed, etc. So now my audio bin is looking nuts. Is there a way I can quickly highlight all the files that are used in the arrangement page in the audio bin, so I can delete them?
Thanks

In the Bin, go to the drop down "Edit". It has two options: 'Select Used' and 'Select Unused'.
Once your selection is made, you can clear your bin by hitting Delete.

InDesign CS5 and inCopy CS6 workflow problem

I've looked at other discussions and haven't found any to answer the question to our problem.
We are a small publishing company and we have license for roughly 7 inDesign CS5 copies that we purchased a year ago. We contract with outside editors to edit content for us using inCopy. For a year there hasn't been any problems. But any new contracted editor we now sign, which in turn purchases inCopy, we are having trouble with our files talking to one another. Any new contracted editors are only able to purchase CS6 inCopy. This leaves us with the problem of having inDesign CS5 on about 7 or so of our employees machines and 6-8 CS 5.5 InCopy on outside contracted editors and an additional 3-4 contracted editors with CS6 inCopy. When the editors with CS6 inCopy try to open files from our InDesign CS5, either they won’t open at all, or they will open, the editor works on the project for awhile, their program crashes and they are not able to recover (re-open) the files again. Which results in hours of lost work.
Has anyone else come across this problem? Is there a work around or a quick fix. We would hate to have to upgrade to CS6 for all of our in house copies of InDesign and then ask our outside editors what do have inCopy cs5.5 to upgrade to CS6.
If this is the case, when CS7 comes out, and we hire additional outside editors, will we continuously have to go through the process of upgrades again? This is too costly for use and our existing contracted editors.
Any thoughts are assistance would be appreciated.
This is one of the error messages received from an outside contracted editor using inCopy CS6. The file crashed after several hours of work, when the editor went to reopen the file, they received this error. Which looks to be a generic error code that doesn't tell us anything.

Hi Ruffus,
Unfortunately different versions of InDesign and InCopy do not work well with each other. Newer versions of the program should be able to open older files, but they cannot save backwards. I am not sure what is causing the errors with the newer versions of InCopy however.
Are you able to open the CS6 InCopy files on your computers?

Dual Monitor Audio Setup?

Hi there!
Getting my new Mac Mini next week.
Question about setup - dual monitor and audio.
I will be connecting to my TV via DVI - HDMI and monitor via MDP - HDMI.
What are my best options for audio?
Monitor doesn't have speakers so I was thinking of using my current 2.1 system with a 3.5mm jack. I know I can use a splitter from the 3.5mm port on the Mini for analogue sound but is there any way of outputting digital audio to the TV and analogue to my speakers.
On my PC audio is carried to the TV via HDMI so auto switches audio when TV is detected, can the Mini do similar?
Cheers

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
1. The mini's m-DVI and m-DP do not carry audio.
2. Switching from analog to digital audio is a mechanical process that occurs in the audio mini-port. The digital mini-plug is about 2 mm longer than the analog plug and effects the change.
3. You might consider using the audio port as the source of digital audio for your TV and get a USB adapter for analog audio for your speakers.
4. You can add the digital audio to the HDMI stream with this device;

Independant video and audio tracks separate

I am using Premiere Elements 12 on a PC. I am working on a multimedia project combining video, stills and audio. Independant video and audio tracks separate when I insert a still image on another track. The tracks are not grouped or linked together. I do not know how to prevent this happening. The manual suggests pressing the Alt button when inserting but this does not work.

skinnymurray
Holding down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard does work and works well under most ordinary conditions. Please practice and refine your Alt technique with care patience. But....
Have you tried keeping certain parts of your established track content together by using the Group command after selecting a
bunch of clips all at one time?

Digital Audio Output - Mac Pro and New OS/CS5.5 Install

Hello all...
I hope I can word this properly - had a hard time with a search.
For my audio setup with Production Premium I use an external DAC/Amp which connects to the computer via the optical digital output. I have used this setup for years with no issues, including a year of Adobe Production Premium CS5.
Today I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard, updated to 10.6.8, and then installed (clean) ProductionPremium CS5.5.
I then set up After Effects, Premiere and the OS to use the "built-in digital output"
Here is what is strange - and something I never noticed with previous installations - each application seems to take over the output, and then "release" it when I switch apps.
Let me explain - when the DAC unit gets an audio signal from the optical cable, it makes a small audible click and then a second later the sound comes out of the speakers. With my previous installations, I only heard this click once - when I booted up the computer. After that, the signal stayed locked and I heard everything perfectly.
With this new installation, I have everything set up the same as far as I can tell, and I get sound, but I get that signal click EVERY TIME I switch apps. Working in Premiere, have sound... switch to After Effects, no sound, then click, then sound again. Switch to Premiere, click again. Switch to finder, click.
What's worse, is that Premiere seems to lose control because of this. For example, say I start in Premiere, do some edits, then move to AE. I have sound in Premiere, everything is fine. Do some work ini AE, get the click, but all is still fine, but then back to Premiere, I get the click, but no sound, and Premiere won't play anything back. I hit space and the play button in Program view turns to a stop button, but the time indicator doesn't move and I get no playback. If I go in to prefs, change the audio, and then change it back, Premiere works again!
Besides this headache, I also miss short sounds like system alerts and beeps, because they play before the audio 'locks' in.
EDITED TO ADD: Just noticed this - if I am running either Premiere or After Effects, in the "Sound" System Preference Pane, I get an option to set the output to "After Effects CS5.5" or "Premiere CS5.5" -- so it seems like the OS is treating is separately and switching when I move between apps - this definitely never happened before!
This is baflfing to me because I never had this problem before, and I am aware that my setup is probably not very common, but anyone with insight, please help!

I won't be able to try it until back in the studio tomorrow but it may just be what I need - will report back here. Seems that it is an OS issue though and not an Adobe one.

DV workflow audio setup question....

I have two new CS5 editors in my news department that are replacing some aging Avid NewsCutter XP systems.
On the Avid, there was a Mojo DV breakout box with Line in/out and DV in/out. The Mojo breakout box was 6 Pin Firewire to the PC, and the DV DSR-25 was looped DV off of the Mojo.
On the new system with CS5 I don't have the mojo of coarse just planned to use DV. I have the deck directly to the PC, and have my speakers to the line out of the PC.
What I have found is I can hear my audio fine during editing when the "Realtime Preview" is set to "Desktop Audio", but I get no audio on my deck when using export to tape.
If I change the Realtime Preview to External device it works through the deck but I get no audio from the timeline unless I am scrubbing back and forth.
My solution at this point is I must loop my speakers off of my DV deck to have this work all the time, but then I lose windows sounds unless I do some form of external mixer or use the second Balanced input on my speakers. Also muting the speakers when recording Voice over tracks to the timeline might be an issue.
What would you all recommend to set this up. What was the normal DV tape based workflow? The guy in India I spoke with couldn't help much.
All use of Premiere for us before now was on laptops at our bureau's, but because they send their video over FTP as a .mpg file we never had to export back to tape, and they are running CS3.
Thank you,

The Realtime Playback and the Export are both set to DV output. What would fix the issue is to have another set of radio buttons under the export option allowing you to have desktop audio during editing and External Device when exporting to tape.
I guess since use of tape is going away it won't matter.... When we upgrade to HD camera's we will likely have SD cards from them and will export to a format our production servers will use..
One of the other things I lose using External Device audio looping to the speakers off of the RCA jacks on the DSR-25, I can't use the great volume keys on the Premiere Pro keyboard. They track to the windows sound control.
The Recording to the timeline is not and issue as the mute timeline audio setting kills it while laying down tracks. Oh well can't win them all.
Any other idea's....

Serious CS5+6 Audio out of sync on MP4 and Quicktime HD (AC3/AAC) export problem

Hello,
while exporting our video files and importing them into our projects to check the sync we noticed that if we export in MP4 1080p H264 format the audio is 1/2 video frame out of sync compared to the original. This happens with both original audio files attached to the original clip as well as other random audio files combined with the clip.
If we export the WAV file and import it again into the original timeline this is 100% in sync, but if we export that clip with the imported WAV file it's again out of sync.
please check the pic:
as you can see the "edit_1080p_1.mp4" files is the exported and re-imported clip, which is 100% synced to the video (from timecode 0:00:00:00) and the our of sync is about half a video frame.
This also seems to happen in CS5 as we just have tested on another old system.
Addon: It also happens with Quicktime HD Export.
If exported in AVI there is no out-of-sync, so this problem seems only to be on Dolby Digital and AAC encoded and multiplexed files.
As we found out if exporting clips with any CS5 or CS6 Version in mutiplexed AC3 format eveytime after re-importing those files back into Premiere the audio is about 1/2 videoframe delayed! So this means if you work with multiple temporary exported files, e.g. MP4 HD HQ formats your audio gets more and more out of sync.
But we also found out that if you simply convert WAV to AC3 there is also a slight delay on the AC3 file, although not noticeable on the first view, but if you switch to audio frames view it's about 1/10 frame.
I think this is a very serious error and needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
Nachricht geändert durch pinklemos

And another, even worse, update:
we did several tests with just converting the H264/PCM multiplexed file to different format, MPEG2/MP2, MPEG2/AC3, MP4/AAC (both CS6 and CS5) and we just encoded the file with Procoder in H264/AAC (orange colored). And the result was, that ALL Adobe encoded files are not correctly synced to the original but the Procoder file is! Even with CS5 this was already not working.
I am shocked, that nobody really seems to have noticed that elemental error until now...
So the only working workflow at the moment is to export all files into Quicktime H264/PCM format and then user other encoders to create the final files needed, if they need to have compressed audio formats like MP2, ACC or AC3.

[SOLVED] Audio setup troubles with usb headphones and built-in sound

Hello,
I Just started using Arch about a month ago after going through many Debian and Ubuntu variants. After all my frustrations with apt pinning to get working 10bit video playback, only to have everything else uninstalled by crappy dependency checking, I am extremely happy with how easy it was in Arch.
Now I am having difficulties perfecting my audio setup. Almost everything else is set up to satisfactory levels but I have yet to bring the sound to the same standard. With just ALSA my built in audio works, but defaults to the unused hdmi on my nvidia graphics. I have managed to get it to switch at some point but with ALSA alone I could never get my usb headset to work at all.
By using pulseaudio as well I was able to get simutaneous playback, which is ideal, but had choppiness and other issues with just the usb headset. I followed some instructions found on the arch wiki and other places on the net for choppiness in both ALSA and pulse and tried the fixes listed in various combinations. I ended up with outcomes such as pulse not starting, no sound at all, creepy ticking in usb and perfect sound on speakers, and my current situation of perfect sound on speaker and acceptable but tinny sound on usb which degrades over time requiring restart.
Is anyone able to give any advice or point me to any guides I may have overlooked?
Setting up sound from scratch is something I have never done before coming to Arch, so I don't know what commands are useful for audio specifically, but learning is one of the reasons I decided on Arch. As for commands I do know, lspci and lsusb, relevant entries are as follows:
spricc ~ $ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 1532:000e Razer USA, Ltd
USB device is a Razer Megalodon headset, NVIDIA Audio is of no interest to me, unless it is not what i think it is.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.

Problems with MOTU Audio Setup and Mavericks.

Hi!
after installing the latest update of MOTU Audio Drivers (v1.6.59200 | Nov. 12, 2013) for some sessions Motu Audio Setup has worked correctly.
Now, after a week or so, it detects the interfaces (by the way a 828vMk II + 8pre, both FW) when I power them, so it fires up as usual; but when launched is not showing any device connected.
I tried to thrash the Audio Devices preference panels, but no result.
Shall I wait for a new MOTU update or is there any other workaround I could try?
Thanks in advance for help
Massimo

I had the same problem. The fix after multiple configurations is as follows.
1) Reset the PRAM and shutdown - this will clear the FW settings
2) Boot the systems but with on ONE Motu828 powered on.
3) After the system is up and you can see the one device - power the second device on it the Motu Audio Setup program should see both.
there is some kind of FW race problem. Also, go to preference, turn OFF IPV4 stack from the FW device in NW setting. If I do not do this, I cannot get the system to see the devices and it basically is in some sort of "hung" state.
