Audition 1.5 has problem playing back MT session if I have a ton of stretched clips

I might be doing something AA is not designed to do, I don't know. Perhaps (I wish) there are a lot easier ways of doing this, but I have a band that recorded, with a song that has 8 vocal tracks, singing as a group. However, they don't all start every word/phrase exactly at the same time, but should - therefore I use the clip stretching abilities in MT to cut the track up each place it's off and stretch it to fit. Normally I don't need to stretch it much at all, but after that tedious job is done the overall project sounds a lot better.
However, now I have this session that has maybe 150 stretched clips (pretty crazy, huh?) and it takes about 30 minutes or more to open. Problem is, now it won't play back decently for some reason; certain tracks sound like a bunch of garble and warble - nothing that can be made out. I do not know if all the stretched clips have anything to do with it. The wave files appear the same as before - example, you can see where a louder portion of audio is but it is nothing synced with what I hear on the speakers.
I should also mention that I had an under-rated computer run AA one time and the same thing happened there so I thought it just got tired and so I restarted AA and it worked fine after that. Here I also restarted AA but the problem is not better - worse if anything.
Some tracks play fine, others don't. Another thing of interest is that I have only stretched the vocal tracks; by far the worse garble is on the instrument tracks; they even play back as quirks and garble in Edit View if I go there.
Anyone have any solution why this happens? Am I over doing AA in some way?
Also, is there a more automated way of matching and syncing vocals? I'm talking about them being .1 - .01 seconds off the beat; is there some way AA will automatically stretch clips to match beats with - say - the beat markers?

I am not surprised at all by your reply!
I would do that, soon as I'm done with stretching/timing adjustment; thing was I was still 10 seconds from the end when it started acting up. But Just as a safe precaution in case it would do something like that I had already backed up a couple of times so thankfully I don't need to do it all over again!
So, you don't think that "set beat markers" (or something like that) can be locked to beats in MT? For example if I run the "Find and Mark" beats in EV and then use those beats to snap to the closest beat in MT, stretching the file as need be in order to get it there.. ? Maybe I'm dreaming out of this world.. Next time I'll have to force my clients to sing until they sing it dead on right!
Thanks for your response!

A. Backup before doing anything advanced is recommended but not widely used.
B. Upgrade on vanilla plain (and updated) operatiing system goes flawlessly. Upgrade on "real" computer may depend on "status" of operating system and applications installed. You may not be the last experiencing troubles.

How can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

how can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

Hi,
Thanks for the response but I know how to do a screen capture but wanted to be able to capture myself interacting with the ipad ansd turn into a movie i.e. showing all the movement / animation etc as I interact.
I have now figured out a good solution. Using AirServer you can wirelessly connect you ipad to your mac/pc then using a video capture solution like Snapz Pro you can capture what you are doing to create the video.

Ability to play back a session.

Is there an ability to play back a session once a session is completed. How long does it remain on the server ?

We don't support recording and playback at this time. It's certainly something we've put a lot of thought into, however. Our current priorities are around e-commerce work, but once that's done, we'll definitely be looking at this functionality.

Problem playing back HDV from FCP HD

FCP 5.0.4
I am doing my first HD project and am experiencing a problem I cannot solve.
Using both a Sony HDV HC1 and Sony HDR FX1 as playback devices, I cannot get the video to play back from FCP using HDV1080i60. Under Video playback, the options for the HDV are grayed out for the only firewire options:HDV(1440 x 1080) 30fps and 25fps. However, the option exists under Print To Video, and when chosen, will send HD1080i60p video to the cam>hi def monitor.
I have tried every possible setting on both cams to find a solution. Using DV NTSC I can get a work around. The cam's will both capture and control via FCP. Thanks for any advice.

No HDV decks will allow you to monitor external video from FCP through them UNLESS they are in the recording mode. So they just don't support this like DV devices do.
You need to look at a card for this. Least expensive would be the Intensity cards from Decklink. I like the MXO from Matrox too for this too... does more output, but has no input... I use an Io HD for that... and turn that slow rendering HDV to ProRes.. much faster rendering, and visually lossless.

Problem playing back dvc pro video

Hi,
I'm currently having hugh problems in playing back DVC pro 50 format in Logic Pro. The logic Pro i had is in a mac with 2.26 duo core intel with 8g of ram. It seem that the video never play in the right speed. It's a problem on the new release of logic Pro?
Thanks.

GB3 has problems playing GB2 songs "Part of the song was not played"

I have just bought iLife '06. After everything was installed and set up, I loaded a GarageBand 2 song and pressed play on my iControl. Just seconds into playback, I got the following message:
PART OF THE SONG WAS NOT PLAYED
This song has too many tracks, effects, or notes to be played in real-time.
To optimize perfomance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
Funny, I never had that problem with GarageBand 2! The song always played with no such issues before I updated (except the one I guess we all know, and that's the beat counter (between the transport and master volume slider) doesn't show accurate time and seems to be a little behind and slows down.
After reading other posts, I seem to be a little more lucky than most: my iControl still works (without having to connect it after GarageBand has loaded), I don't have any duplicate file issues, my JamPack 2 is still there but (on the not so lucky side), I do have the snap-to-grid issue.
The song I am trying to play back, anyone can download and try, so here is the url if you want to try it for yourself:
http://www.nin.com/downloads/index.html
Download 'The Hand That Feeds' and you'll see what I mean (unless you have a far more powerful computer than an iMac G5 17" iSight 1.9GHz with Tiger 10.4.4).

(Ah, it took me some time to understand the concept. And it's great to have pro artists' tracks to listen to and play with.)
I played the song on my office Mac (iMac G5 1.6 GHz), and here's what happened: It played without any problems on the first run, from beginning to end, the cursor always being snow white.
When I went back and tried out several soloed tracks, starting here and there, suddenly I got the "too many tracks" message, and now the song won't play through.
Interestingly, the cursor still stays white. So the computer doesn't show any signs of CPU strain, it just stops playing.

I need to play back a video-recording i have taken myself and have it show the time count in seconds on the play back. Can you help?

I need to play back a video-recording that I have taken myself and have it show the time counter in secs/minutes in the playback. Can anyone help?

the movie editing app "Avid Studio" displays a time counter, as does the Pinnacle editing app. Oddly enough, I movie does not. (unless I have it somehow turned off.)

These examples are from AmazonS3, but the same happens on Apache.
It looks like a problem with cacheing in Safari. The movie fails to play if Safari includes If-Modified-Since in the first byte range GET request and the server responds with a 304, Not Modified.
Has anyone encountered this problem and found a way to work around it?

I am not surprised at all by your reply!
I would do that, soon as I'm done with stretching/timing adjustment; thing was I was still 10 seconds from the end when it started acting up. But Just as a safe precaution in case it would do something like that I had already backed up a couple of times so thankfully I don't need to do it all over again!
So, you don't think that "set beat markers" (or something like that) can be locked to beats in MT? For example if I run the "Find and Mark" beats in EV and then use those beats to snap to the closest beat in MT, stretching the file as need be in order to get it there.. ? Maybe I'm dreaming out of this world.. Next time I'll have to force my clients to sing until they sing it dead on right!

Problem playing back canvas on external monitor

I am using Final cut express HD
When I play my final sequence (the one shown on the right hand screen of a standard layout, the canvas). All i get from my external TV is the audio, i cant get any picture. However if i then play a clip on the viewer (left hand screen) the external tv plays both the audio and video.
I'm trying to record to mini DV tape whilst playing through the TV. At the moment all I can record is audio.
HELP??!!

Try this:
- render the sequence (alt-R), and mixdown audio (alt-cmd-R)
- make sure the canvas zoom is set to Fit to Window

Ipod has problems playing mpeg4 video! help!!

Recently i converted some of my own music videos (not ones bought from itunes) to mpeg4 at 576x384 resolution and around like 1800kbps. they transfer to the ipod just fine but when trying to play them, the video playback skips 5 or 6 times when starting the video. After this is plays ok but Why is it doing this at the beginning of EVERY video?
Windows XP
Inspiron 6000 Windows XP

Problems playing .f4v files in CS5.5 that were rendered from CS5.5?

Premiere Pro CS5.5 seems to have trouble playing .f4v files that it has rendered? I basically edit my video, (uncompressed .mov) export it as a .f4v file for YouTube which is about half an hour in length. I then get that half an hour video and do a video preview of what happened over the half hour… like a montage. I used to export my videos to .mp4 and I never had any problems when trying to do my montage edits, but now that I am using .f4v CS5.5 freezes the video but the audio keeps playing, the video won't play at all or it freezes during transitions (and the transitions are rendered before I try to playback my clips) The bottom line is that the .f4v format has never played back perfectly once and I could understand this if I had got the file from somewhere else but I rendered it from CS5.5? Can anybody help me with this please.
Thank you
Bird

Hi Jim, thanks for your reply What you have suggested, is what I think I will do. I think I'll create a new sequence from my exisiting sequence and do my montage edits that way instead of using .f4v or .mp4. Do you know why I was able to edit my montages from .mp4 with no problem but not from .f4v file format which was rendered from CS5.5? I just wondered why as this seems odd to me.
Thank you in advance.

Drop in's not playing back until 'stop/start'

Morning all,
Anyone else having problems playing back a drop in on an audio track?
I'm finding that if I cut into an audio tack, record a new section and drop it into the bar or so
that I'm replacing, when I come to play back the result it plays the original track up to the drop-in then silence as it scrolls through the new audio file, and remains silent even when it cuts back to the original file.
If I stop Logic 9 and restart it again on the new section it plays the drop in ok but then silence when it scrolls back into the original audio file, so stop and restart then all is well again.
I tried selecting the (now) three sections and merging them but it won't let me do that either and I am still left with three sections.
This using core audio in Logic 9.0.2 with a Digidesign 192 i/o interface.
Cheers
Pappy

Hi Bee Bee,
This was the first session I have tried using Logic 9 with Core Audio, so I can't say whether it will manifest itself in other projects yet, though I have been having serious crashes when trying to implement the TDM/DTDM option in the audio driver prefs page ( hence trying to go native with the core audio set-up). To finish the session I have reverted back to my old set-up of Dual 2.7 G5, Logic Pro 7 and PT 7.4 which is working very well.
It occurs to me that this problem may be down to the fact that the project in question is automatically saving itself onto the MacPro hard drive which of course also has the system software and application on it, and I seem to remember an old manual recommending that audio files are best written to a separate, dedicated drive. What do you reckon?
Best
Pappy

Made preference changes, but still getting the Ram preview needs 2 or more frames to play back.

I'm new to After Effects CS6 and am working on a very simple Kinetic Typography project. I don't have a lot of memory, but this is a really simple project, so I'm wondering if maybe I'm just not using the work area correctly. Every once in while I can get the project to RAM preview, but only for a few seconds. Most of the time I get the "Ram preview needs 2 or more frames to play back" error message. I have pasted my sytem info and setting info bleow. Thanks for any insight!
