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...

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?

Monitoring audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP studio

Is there a way I can monitor audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP Studio? I know you can plug headphones into your tape deck but that sound is not in sync with the video in the capture window due to time delay. I tried plugging the headphones into my Powerbook but could not get any audio coming through these, nor audio through the Mac's inbuilt speakers.

The preview checkbox is ticked and the audio monitor indicates that sound is being picked up (the levels rise and fall) but I still can't hear anything! The audio/video sync on the external monitor is ok, but because there is a time delay between that and the video capture window, I can't use that as a reliable monitor for sound sync. If I could resolve the video sync problem there, then I could monitor the sound through the external monitor.

Audio not synching with video when capturing

When capturing video from my Sony DV camera, the audio is always out of synch with the video which has forced me to move the audio in the timeline to manually synch. The amount by which it's out of synch seems to vary, i.e. not always out of synch by the same number frames.
I'm sure there's a capture setting to fix it but have yet to locate it.
Thanks.

A separate issue perhaps, but after my recent upgrade to CS6 I need to render out a stacked 18 minute timeline done in CS5 (Win 7/Matrox MXO2). All 7 tracks of audio are out of synch 8 frames late. When it comes to common backwards compatibility issues that I feared, it's a pretty simple fix after a render, unlink and re-render. I don't see this mentioned in the archives, so if anyone has an explanation or quick fix I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Central

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Centralk I have a very important video I took that runs fine in Vado Central. However, when I try transferring it anywhere else (Facebook, Photobucket, iMovie) the audio speeds up and makes my son sound like a chipmunk.
My computer is a MacBook OS 0.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 processor, 2GB memory, which should meet the system requirements.
I've been going back and forth with customer-no-service and their last suggestion was that there's nothing wrong with the camera or Vado Central and that Facebook, Photobucket and iMovie must all be independently having the exact same problem
I'm very frustrated and unhappy. This camera is only 2 months old, but it's too late for me to return it and right now it's worthless to me. Worst of all, my very important video is ruined. Anybody have any suggestions

Yes, it sounds the same (too fast) no matter what computer we try it from. I've tried burning a DVD every way I can think of and when we try to play it on our DVD player we still have chipmunk audio.
I am BEYOND frustrated with Vado's customer-no-service. They keep insisting that since it will play in Vado Central I don't have a problem. I bought this camera so that I could share video with my family that's across the country. What am I supposed to do now, mail them the camera?! It's absurd!

Getting audio using KONA LHE card

Hi,
currently running final cut 5.1.4 on mac pro. we have installed our KONA LHE card and have video from the mac and our sony HDV HVR MI5 deck displaying via the KONA onto our JVC monitorperfectly.
However when we try to connect the Kona audio to our mixing desk we get the sound through from the final cut timeline, but it is unusable, it isnt distorted but it is swamped by noise and intereference.
We have the HVR deck connected to the mixer with no problems, so it isnt a problem with the mixing desk. (Soundcraft Spirit E Series) So could it be a setting of the KONA? pretty sure phantom power was turned off, so hopefully ahvent fried anything!
Would we get any sound through if we had fried the audio part of the card with phantom power?

tried plugging them into the desks XLR mic connections
That's your problem. MIC connections. Not meant for balanced audio, only for MICS. I had the same problem. My first 4 XLR connections on my mixer are MIC inputs. They are designed to be phantom powered and to be HOT (loud), so any balanced audio from a deck or capture card will be too much for the inputs. YOu gotta use non-mic inputs.

Problem with previewing video when capturing

I recently had to reinstall FCP onto my Powerbook and since doing this the following problem has occured:
When I open the log and capture window the program recognises my DV deck and plays the footage fine. However, when I start to capture the footage, the video preview is disabled - it freezes on the 1st frame. The video is capturing fine and when I check the audio preview box I am able to listen to the audio whilst capturing, but I can usually preview the video as well.
In the audio / video settings the 'capture card supports simultaneous play through and capture' boxis checked - and as I say, this was fine before re-installing.
Presumably this is as simple as a preference that has not been altered since I re-installed the program?
If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

It is highy likely that quicktime is wacky after the FCP reinstall.
go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say quicktime followed by a number (eg Quicktime652.pkg)
Go to the Quicktime download web site and download the correct version for your OS and FCP version.
Reinstall.
Reboot.
Repair permissions.
Good luck.

Problems with videos when I export

Hi,
I have some problems with my videos when I export them. I edit my video, but I have problems with audio in the exported video. Either the audio is missing completely or I hear the audio from another videoframe. I thought that the transitions are the problem, but they're not. Sometimes I have the problem also when I watch the video in iMovie. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?

Welcome to Apple Discussions Alek,
Does this issue happen with more than one project in iMovie or is it just one?
If the audio is out of sync or missing and it is confined to only one project, the most I can suggest is that you restore from a backup copy as that suggests the project file is corrupted.
If the issue is happening in multiple projects do a test to make sure iMovie is working correctly:
Capture 5-10 minutes worth of iSight footage.
Edit the movie adding a few titles and transitions.
Export to quicktime.
Is the audio correct here?
If the audio is fine that means that iMovie is fine. Something is wrong with the projects or the original footage. You could try taking the Event you are working with, adding it to a new project, and then without editing it, export the entire project out as Quicktime. Then import the resulting file as a new event. The process of exporting (encoding) and then re-importing might clean up minor corruption within the file.
Hope that helps

How to synchronize audio track and video when transmitting by RTP

since the audio stream and video stream are transmitted separately on the network even if in a merged data, how to synchronize the audio stream and video stream at the receiving end ?

camelstrike wrote:
Hi everyone!
I've tried to make one of the processors, processor1, control the other processor, processor2, with processor1.addController(processor2) but I get a
javax.media.IncompatibleTimeBaseException. I need to synchronize audio and video rtp-streams because they are sometimes completely out of sync.
In JMF API Guide I've read:
"2. Determine which Player object's time base is going to be used to drive
the other Player objects and set the time base for the synchronized
Player objects. Not all Player objects can assume a new time base.
For example, if one of the Player objects you want to synchronize has
a *push-data-source*, that Player object's time base must be used to
drive the other Player objects."
I'm using a custom AVReceive3 to receive rtp-streams and then I create processors for the incoming stream's datasource's, and they are ALL PushBufferDataSource's.
Does this mean I can't synchronize these. If so is there any way I can change them into Pull...DataSources ?The RTP packets are timestamped when they leave, and they are played in order. You can't change the timebase on an RTP stream because, for all intensive purposes, it's "live" data. It plays at the speed the transmitting RTP server wants it to play, and it never gets behind because it drops out of order and old data packets.
If your RTP streams aren't synced correctly on the receiving end, it means they aren't being synced on the transmitting end...so you should look into the other side of the equation.

FLVPlayback audio but no video when streaming

I have a flash program that loads an external flv dynamically. I first create an empty movie clip then I attach an instance of the FLVPlayback component using Moviclip.attachMovie();. Then i control the FLVPlayback component with AS2. I have a play and pause button, a scrubber, and a loading progress bar. None of these are components. When I publish and preview the file in Flash CS4, Adobe Flash Player 10, and all my internet browsers everything works fine, all the buttons, the multiple functions of the scrubber, and even the loading progress bar. However when I uploaded all the files from my computer to my company's server and tested it from there, I recieved audio but no video. All of the various controls still worked for the audio but I couldn't see anything on the stage. If I waited for the loading progress bar to complete and then reloaded the external flv then I got video, but the purpose of this program is to stream the video and I cannot have the users waiting for a preloader. Please help me to get my video to show and not just my audio.
If you want to look at my FLVPlayback code here it is:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("lesson_mc",-16381);
lesson_mc.attachMovie("FLVPlayback","lesson_video",0);
lesson_mc.lesson_video.contentPath = page.attributes.url;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoSize = true;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoRewind = false;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoPlay = true;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.bufferTime = 20;

I don't know what cross-domain issues are, but i had double checked my flv's path/file name and since reading your post have checked it again.
Heres the thing though, I can still get video, so it can't be these problems. I previously wrote this:

But I can't get it before it finishes loading. I want to stream it.

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.

No audio with video chat, but it works with screen sharing...

I've got a friend who just upgraded to snow leopard. We're both using iMacs. My computer is working find, and I have audio and video with other people.
When we video chat, there is no audio. When I screen share with her computer, with her seeing my desktop or me seeing her desktop, the audio works.
No mute buttons are down, I've checked system preferences (sound) everything is right.
Any ideas?

HAs she checked that System Preferences > Sound > Input is listing and has her Mic Selected ?
Is he r Volume high enough in the same place ?
In her Video Menu is the "Microphone " Enabled" ticked ?
In iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section is the same Mic listed ?
Do the response bars move under the Preview when she talks ?
During a Chat in Your Connection Doctor (Video Menu) is she sending any Audio ?
IS she showing as having a log more Bit Rate than you ?

CS4 no video when capture

I'm using Premiere CS4 to capture footage, and everything shows up fine during capture, but once it is captured, and I play the video in Premiere, there is only audio and no video. I am capturing from a Canon Vixia HV40, however the footage was shot on a Sony Carl Zeiss MiniDV (it didn't have a firewire port). I have it set to NTSC 29.93fps, standard, which is what it was filmed on. Please tell me how to fix this problem.

Try the capture: settings>device control>options>DV \ HDV device settings> device brand and device type. Are they set properly?
I don't see the Canon Vixia in the list of camera models there. In that case you can try different alternatives from the list. Try using a similar model from the list.
In case of emergency, you can also capture with movie maker and then import your footage.

No audio channels (only video) when converting/exporting media formats

Hi,
Last year i bought a license for quicktime 7 but i still have problems when converting.
Als with the new iTunes7 the problem still relies.
When i am converting a mpeg file to the m4v in iTunes the problem is the same.
It doens't matter which media format i get, but after the conversion is done... there are no audio channels!
When u look at the movie info option in the quicktime menu, you can see an video channel, but no audio. the orginal files do get video and audio channels...
about 6 months ago i contacted apple support for this, but the problem still relies..
Does anybody know a fix or maybe Apple can investigate this important bug!! In the past i have used Videora iPod coverter that does the job correct and muchhh faster, but i want quicktime to do that!!!
Regards,
Rick Beemsterboer

Quicktime has never exported the sound from muxed mpeg-1 or -2 files: QT Mpeg Limitations
You can run a separate demuxer to get the audio stream out or just use this freeware that exports both video and audio from mpegs to other formats: Mpeg StreamClip

Audio, but no video when compressing FCPX files

I am trying to compress a 4-minute video for use on YouTube. I send the edited video from FCPX to Compressor 4 and have used several of the preset settings (H.264 for Video Podcasting and HD 720p Video Sharing). In both cases, the .mov file has audio, but no video. When I use the Export Media option to export the raw .mov file, there is video and audio. Any idea why this is happening? What are the best settings to use for YouTube? When I send it straight to YouTube via FCPX (by logging into my YouTube account), everything works fine. But I need a separate .mov file to send around elsewhere. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm guessing Warwick is correct.
One other thought: if you have an "Export Media" option, your version of FCPX is not current and should be updated. Afterwards, Id suggest running repair permissions in Disk Utility.

My experience is the 720p YT and Vimeo presets are fine for uploading. If your project is 1080p, you'll have that option as well.
By send around elsewhere, the usual tradeoffs between quality and file size apply. Usually h.264 – either Quick Time or MP4 at the original resolution and frame rate – provides the best tradeoff. That is, unless someone is going to be showing it in a movie theater.
Good luck.
