Bad audio when using proxy media

I'm using FCPX on my MBP 15" late 2008. To get some reasonable speed I transcode all the clips to proxy media.
Doing this degrades audio quality to a point where the audio makes a clicking noise all the time.
Also when I add a sound effect and edit it in surround with keyframe animation the sound makes clicking noise all the time.
This noise is present when I export the movie.
What to do?

Trying that now
The odd thing is that the audio is fine when I play using optimized/original media. The audio gets crappy when I switch to proxy media.
I also get sort of the same problem when I'm using sound effects and choose "Create Space" or "Circle" under Audio inspector. These sound effects should be in the correct format since they came with FCPX.

Video faster than audio when use Adobe Media Encoder to convert f4v to mp4

I am using Adobe Captivate 5 on a mac record a demonstration, and I have published my project to .f4v. Now I am using Adobe Media encoder to convert the .f4v file to .mp4 (to play on an ipod). The output LOOKS good, but the video is running much faster than the audio. To be clear, the audio is running at the correct pace, but the video is going by much too quickly.

From Captivate, I tried changing the fps to a variety of speeds (12, 20, 30, 40, 60) when publishing to f4v. Then in Adobe Media Encoder, when I converted to mp4, I tried keeping the fps the same as the source f4v, reducing it, or increasing it. After all these experiments, I found that changing the fps in Adobe Media Encoder had no effect at all. Only changing the fps in the source f4v had an effect. Reducing it to 12 made the probelm worse (the video went by even faster), and increasing it as high as 60 made a SLIGHT improvement, but not enough to get things in sync. Changing the key frame distance in AME had no effect.

Why are my .avi files extracted using PE3 only playing audio when using Windows Media Player?

I extracted a lot of my old movies using PE3 that came from my 8MM camera. They played fine on XP.
I now have Windows7 64 bit and when I play them in Windows Media Player, they only play the sound.
I'm guessing that this is a codec issue.
Should I re-extract them using a different product that uses a more standard codec?
Thanks!

It depends on your workflow. So we'll need more details.
How did you digitize the video from your 8mm camcorder? Many devices capture as AVIs, but do so while using codecs that aren't universally playable. Also, do make sure you've got the latest version of Quicktime on your new computer. It can add some important video functionality to your computer.
You say you used Premiere Elements to "extract" your movie. How did you do this? Did you use a device like the ADS Pyro AV Link or Grass Valley Canopus AVDC?
Finally, are you trying to play the raw files or did you create a project with them in Premiere Elements and then Export/Share your video? And, if the latter, which output settings did you choose?
Meantime, try downloading VLC Player to your new computer and see if it can play the files. It is a much better player than Windows Media Player (or Quicktime Player, for that matter). And let us know yoru results.
As I've said, the more details you can give us, the more likely we can help you.

On G71-340US: very low volume when using DVD player, but OK when using Windows Media Player.

Just purchased new laptop G71-340US. Volume (at full tilt) is decent when using Windows Media Player, but when using DVD player, volume is so low I can't really hear volume on a movie unless room is completely quiet, and I am right in front of laptop. Any suggestions, or is it really this bad?

I don't have the answer, but I certainly agree. The G71-340us is severly under powered in the audio department. You would think with the extra room in the 17in. chasis they could have put a sound system with a lot more power. Other than that it's a great machine.

When using safari, media such as mp4, as a web mail attachment (yahoo) is not opening in QuickTime . File association is broken. Does any1 have a solution?

When using safari, media such as mp4, as a web mail attachment (yahoo) is not opening in QuickTime . File association is broken.
If I use the mail application the attachment opens and I see the QuickTime logo on the attachment.
When using the web mail yahoo the attachment, an mp4 audio, opens a black page with a crossed triangle icon in the middle of the page.
Any solution ?
Thanks .

There's two ways you can deploy your aspx (layout) files. One is deploy in _Layouts folder (which basically copy the file in (c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\15\template\layouts). To copy file in that place, you don't
need module, just use SharePoint mapped folder.
Another way is to upload the layout folder in SharePoint library. But _catalogs is not the right place to upload your file (_catalogs doesn't have any subfolder named 'layouts'). You can upload your file in 'Pages' library or 'site pages' library in the
current web.
I'm not quite sure though (sorry I didn't get what the problem is but just guessed you are trying to get your aspx page in SharePoint designer, not sure why) why you need to upload the file in pages/site pages library instead of '_layouts' folder.
Thanks,

Why can't I use proxy media?

I've got media from 3 cameras - all are 720x480. Two were imported from camcorrders, one was miniDV and one was JVC hard drive (SD). When importing I did not have the option to create proxy media, and still do not have that option available (it is grayed out). The third was imported from an avi file uncompressed; it created proxy media when importing. I am trying to use them in a multi-cam clip. If I use proxy media, the two clips from the cameras show the red/yellow "Missing proxy" screen but the avi file shows fine. If I select "use original or optimized media" the clip from avi drops frames, either with "better performance" or "high quality" settings. I know I've had it playing back OK before, but don't know what I have changed such that I can't get a good playback in the multicam multi-angle viewer. It seems if the camera video is already coded so it doesn't need proxy media, it should use that format when proxy is selected (I'll make that suggestion on the feedback from). Any help would be appreciated.

The problem is AVI is not a native format to FCPX while DV is. And FCP X will not make DV into Proxy for this reason. So if you want to mix AVI with DV you need to do it in 'original' mode. For better performance what you'd want to do is convert all of the AVI to a better format- like ProRes for example then import that as your new originals for mixing with the DV footage.

HT201177 no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro

no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro. can only see the video

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

How do you turn off Flash audio when using captivate Nav bar?

Hi Guys and Girls
I have an imported flash file that plays an audio track,
I have no problem turning the audio off, when the user uses
the button within the flash file to go to the next slide in the
captivate movie...
on(release){
stopAllSounds();
_root.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
BUT if the user decides to use the navigation bar within the
captivate movie it all goes pair shape.. The flash audio continues
to play into the next slide. Anyone have a know how to solve this
problem?
How do you tell flash to stop playing the audio when using
the captivate navigation bar?
(The flash file is a flip book and the audio NEEDS to stay
within the flash file)
Cheers
Aquil0

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This totally solved my issue. I had a Captivate 4 movie using an embeded animation that had audio. It would play the audio again when the next slide appeared. I have to use Captivate 4, because my audience still uses Flash 7 (yikes). However, if you have Captivate 5 and are having this problem there is a widget that solves this issue: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/animations-%E2%80%93-audio-sync-issue.html#commen t-3872

I have no audio when using chrome

I have no audio when using chrome. I have audio when using Internet explorer and when playing from my pc. I have tried uninstalling chrome and flash player then reinstalling them. have tried FAQ on chromes site and Adobe's site. did not work.

Hi Funkd,
The video / audio team is still hard at work trying to fix the audio problems introduced in 11.3. Would you be willing to test a build of Flash Player that contains a few changes and additional debug logging functionality? If so, please contact me directly at [email protected]
Thanks,

How can I set which projects use Proxy Media and not just change every project?

Hi there
I can see how to change ALL projects to use Proxy Media or Original/Optimised Media
in
Preferences>Playback
But I'm switching between projects a lot and I only want to use Proxy Media on one project, so how can I tell FCPX to only use Proxy Media on that ONE project?
Thanks

Perhaps if apple didn't take back prores LT this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
Pores LT was a great compromise between file size and quality. It produced a fine image for most peoples needs and was 30% smaller.
Hopefully it will be returned soon. I can't imagine why it's not already there. Unless they want to charge for it, ... again..
Have you tried capturing as full res, then change prefs back to proxy, open a new project and import the full res files?
In FCP7 the render pref was separate from the capture pref. is that gone too?
If my idea doesn't work, Surely someone will chime in with a creative work around to this.
And hopefully it'll get fixed soon in an update.
Best,
g
