BWF audio and metadata propigation to the PPro6 timeline

When dropping a BWF file with metadata onto the PPro6 timeline It correctly displays the name of the clip from the metadata generated by the sound recorder (SD664) e.g. S04T02 for Scene 4 take 2 but not the track name e.g. [lav2 Louis]. Instead, it displays [A1] [A2] etc. (for polyphonic files, understandable) but it doesn't rename the timeline track names. Yes, I know each track will have to be dedicated to only one actor/track name on the timeline. Even though I can see the track names (though not in an organized manner, all of the data is simply truncated under the "description" heading) in the metadata pane of the sound clip in PP6. What am I doing wrong? How do I get PPro6 to display [Lav1 Louis] instead of [A1]? Spending the extra time to manually rename each track name for each clip on the timeline is a non starter.
Here is the metadata:
sSPEED=029.970-ND
sTAKE=01
sUBITS=$06132013
sSWVER=1.04.09
sSCENE=05
sFILENAME=05T01.WAV
sTAPE=130613
sCIRCLED=FALSE
sTRK1=MixL
sTRK2=MixR
sTRK4=Lav2 Louis
sTRK8=Boom1 Crowd
sNOTE=Windy
Thanks for any help.

I don't think PP can do this. To the best of my knowledge, you will have to rename tracks manually.

FINAL CUT PRO X (the latest version). I'm trying to upload my video to Youtube, I am getting flashing and orange bar in the frame timeline. How to make it STOP!?

FINAL CUT PRO X (the latest version). I'm trying to upload my video to Youtube, I am getting flashing and orange bar in the frame timeline. How to make it STOP!? It looks like it's rendering somthng but I just want it to stop flashing. I hope it didn't mess up the video...

You're in totally the wrong place... this is the Mac Pro (no Book) forum for hardware. You want
Final Cut Pro X: Professional Applications: Apple Support Communities
Hopefully, FCP X has an autosave feature Like Final Cut Pro Studio so that you may already have a recent copy. If I were in your shoes, I'd try an ESC or something similar before going to a Forced Quit.
Good luck

How do I bounce audio and midi tracks at the same time to burn a CD?

Hi there,
I would like to bounce a song with both audio and midi tracks recorded in it onto a CD.
Despite ensuring that I am doing a realtime bounce (not offline) I am only getting the audio tracks burnt onto the CD - the midi isn't getting bounced to the final output.
This must be a stupid question, if someone would be so kind as to give me an obvious answer I would be most grateful.
Thankin y'all

Hi A,
if you use the instrument (with logic virtual synths) tracks for midi,
it will.
BTW, why don't you do it offline?
It will be so much faster.
Kindly regards,
Jorge

Pausing the audio and video together using the skin

Hello,
I have coverted some avi files to flv and brought them into
captivate. The video itself has no audio associated with it. I used
Cp4 to record the audio and everything seems to be fine. What I
want to be able to do is use one of the video skins and be able to
pause both the audio and the video. Right now the video pauses, but
the audio continues.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks,

Lock the audio and precision edit only the video clips?

How would I:
Starting with a series of roughly edited video clips, add a final audio track, lock that track, and then precision edit the video to that audio?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, onehhitfights.
Let's start by clarifying exactly what you mean when you say that your A/V clips are importing only as audio. What does the clip's icon look like in the Project panel (list view)? Is it just an audio waveform, or does is it a combo of film frame and waveform?
Is the audio missing regardless of whether you play it in the Source Monitor or drop it in on the Timeline and play it in the Program Monitor?
If the clip's icon includes the film frame and you can see video in the Source Monitor, then most likely you don't have a video track selected for source patching.

Process audio and use midi at the same time?

I would like to use Mainstage to process my vibraphone and acoustic percussion while also using software instruments with a MalletKat and audio playback for backing tracks all at the same time. Is this possible? I have a 17" Mac Book Pro with 4 GB Ram and 2.66 speed.

Absolutely....
Create audio channels for the "live stuff", Instrument channels for the MIDI stuff, and use Playback for the backing tracks.

How to preview audio in real time in the canvas/timeline

Hello there, I am new to Apple and FCP (though am an experienced Avid editor) and I have managed to get acquainted on many things already but the following is driving me nuts:
Whenever I try to play most audio clips (sfx or music in mp3/m4a/caf format) in the timeline I get a beeping warning sound as if it was unrendered. This happens even when only playing 2 tracks of audio and nothing else. the same clip plays absolutely fine in the viewer but not in the timeline/canvas. The only clip I have tried that I don't have this issue with is the sample audio clip downloadable from the FCP help menu.
I have made some research and believe this is due to sample rate of the source material which is not compatible with that of the sequence. In this forum someone has advised to convert all audio files to 48Khz/16bit sample rate to make things easier. Does anyone know how I can do this and/or offer general advice on this issue?
Many thanks, Emi Polito.

The list of audio files that FCP can work with is in the manual.... MP3, m4a's etc aren't supported. You need to transfer them to Aif's or WAV files. MP3 and M4a files are delivery formats, not editing formats. Transfering them in QuickTime or iTunes or even FCP or compressor all work to do this. But it has to be done in order for FCP to work with them.

HDV and DVCPro HD in the same timeline???

If I want to mix 720p footage from both HDV and DVCPro HD (from the JVC HD100 and Panasonic HVX200 respectively), what timeline preset should I set it for: 720p30 HDV or 720p30 DVCPro HD? If I set it for HDV 720p30, will this mess up the DVCPro HD?

Create a DVCPro HD timeline, then drop HDV onto it. You will need to render the timeline with the HDV footage to play it smoothly, but it will save you rendering all your footage, even if you are not going to use it.
Rendering all your HDV into DVCPro will require a lot more storage if you captured it as native HDV or about the same amount of storage if you used Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) HDV.
Even if it does play back smoothly (using RT extreme or whatever) you should force render the timeline, to make sure of the look of HDV rendered in DVC Pro HD meets your requirements.

How to Stream live Audio and metadata

Helo there,
i'm trying to build some kind of online radio. Therefore i'll be streaming audio (mp3) in real time.
Ok, so here's my problem: i have a play-list on my server and the idea is for this play-list to play all day long, but on the client side the user can only do play and stop the music.
The problem is when one music stops and the next one starts i need the server to send not only the new audio but also all the info about this file: duration, author and music name, this way my player can show a play /stop and all the info about the current music playing.
Until now i've only come across with video live streaming, but very little information on how to do a live transmission of audio.
ps: the only info on streaming audio that i've found so far is about audio on demand, but the way i want things to happen the client can't chose the music.
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
Marco Monteiro

I think you can use Server-side Stream object to create a playlist and other functions on server-side.
Basically you can add your mp3 files to be played, basically just their names to an array object, and on the fly update it.
Now take first file from the array and create the playlist and keep on adding new files from the names array.
Also you can define onPlayStatus on your stream object to track when one song finishes and other starts.
Also since you have names of the files, you can set an interval based on current song's duration which would get triggered and send information to client of next song to be played. For this you can use onId3 method as mp3 files would not have metadata defined.

Audio and video playback from the internet.

Hi all, I am just learning on my computer so i am afraid you will have to bear with me !!! I have just visited the BBC News homepage and could not play any of the video clips or radio clips on offer, the error given was that real player was not installed, I then followed the instructions and appear to have sucessfully installed real player but still no joy on playback. What am i doing wrong ???

I experienced the same problem with audio (haven't tried video) and I don't have a complete answer to it, but if you download Real Player you can listen to the audio stream if you click on the link "Listen using stand-alone Real Player".
For a more complete solution, I'm waiting for the next version Firefox which promises to be compatible with Intel iMacs.

Audio and speakers issues with the new iTunes 7

Hi,
I also have an audio problem after installing the new iTunes 7. It seems after iTunes have finished "determining the gapback playback information", all audio from iTunes and Quicktime only comes through my two front speakers. I have a 5.1 setup for my computer and it seems is only a iTunes and Quicktime issue since Windows media plays the audio just fine. Anybody know what the issue could be? I'm on Windows XP by the way.
I have checked my speaker setup and sound card and this problem does not occur in Windows media or any other media software. It seems that it only occurs with iTunes and Quicktime.

Yet another person with the exact same problem, with the same sound card. Everything is up-to-date. I've tried all of the other "fixes" but its either done nothing, or given me use of my rear speakers but added an awful awful ear shattering static. I've tried everything. I even stood on one foot.
Furthermore, my EAX options do not work with iTunes 7 either, though they work with the older versions. I can't even adjust the speaker balance (front to rear, right to left). This is an isolated problem, only with the new iTunes and QuickTime. Everything else on my computer works just dandy, and cooperates with my speakers (5.1 surround) and my EAX settings.
Edited because I said video card, not sound card.. I'm tired, been trying to fix this for an hour.

FCP7; "unmerge" merged audio and video clips in the timeline?

Our TC was way off in some areas due to a bad timecode lemo on set. My editor synched by slate then merged the video with an audio mixdown track using the in points. Now when I export an EDL the original TC from the audio clip is gone, so he has no reference for matching up the audio. Does anybody know of a way to un-merge these clips and restore the original filename (audio takes the name of merged video but reveals correctly in finder) and timecode? Thanks.

what happens if you match frame the audio? I would think it would match back to the source audio clip which you could then use to replace the audio in the timeline.

Audio and video stop during the video playing

while watching a video the sound and the video will stop for a time and will restart play for a while and then stop again. It does not play without the stops. Both stop and start together.

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

Can i play audio and record video at the same time, disabling the external mike, so the video has that audio?

can i play audio while recording a video so that the audio is recorded with the video? .. disabling the inboard mic, ? .. thank you

Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

Can Flash play multiple audio and video files at the same time?

Hello,
I would like to create a web-based client/application that
can play multiple a/v files or stream multiple a/v files at same
time. Is this possible with Flash, without the use of RTMP? If yes,
can you please provide an example. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nilang

You never edit within a clip. The purpose of opening a clip is to make sync adjustments, audio equalization, color correction, stabilization, things that you might want do overall to the master clip before you edit it. You edit the portion of the clip you want from the browser into a project. There is really very seldom any need to open a clip into the timeline.
