Can capture video...but no audio

sorry if this is a repeat question...new to iMac and Final Cut Express 4. I am trying to capture a video that was recorded with audio. Connected DV camcorder to iMac via firewire - no problem. capture video - no problem. audio? no audio. have looked through the manual - can't seem to find the answer anywhere. is a mid year (07) iMac - aluminum.

the problem has been solved...although i am not sure how. we were expecting to hear the audio AS it was capturing...and the other day when we tried it, we didn't have audio when we played back what we had captured. tonight, unfortunately, we didn't ever actually try playing back...until now so, i'm not sure at what point in our troubleshooting we actually corrected the problem - but it's corrected....thanks for your help!

I see what you mean....Premiere Elements 10 appears to be the last version that had options for the user to select Capture Video and/or Audio in the its Capture Window.
If you are doing DV data capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 11 Capture Windows and want a final file without audio and you cannot do this at the camera level, then consider....
1. Do the Capture "to the Timeline" - video linked to audio result on the project's Video Track 1
a. Right click the Timeline DV AVl and select Delete Audio and then edit accordingly.
or
b. Import the DV AVI but, when you go to export it, in the export settings, remove the check mark next to Audio so that the export contains only the video portion.
Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thank you.

How to ask questions the smart way

IMovie 9.0.2 - iSight camera captures video but no audio?

I tried to add a video of myself by ticking the "camera" button and using the iSight camera.
The video is fine but there is no audio.
I have the internal mike selected in System Preferences and everything works OK if I use PhotoBooth to record.
But when I record from iMovie I get no audio.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

After a search I found a similar problem from 2 years ago but with no solution.
I then decided to trash the preferences and found 2 files which I trashed.
On restarting iMovie I was able to record audio from the iMac mike.
Only the second, larger file was replaced so I think the other may have been a remnant from iMovie 6.
Whether it was the presence of 2 .plists that caused the problem I do not know?
It may just have been a corrupt .plist.

Can get video but no audio from certain sites like You Tube. Picture plays but no sound. Any ideas

Airplay: Can I mirror video but not audio, i.e. listen thru a headset?

Airplay works great. But I want to figure out how to listen through a headset connected to my MacBook while video is mirrored on TV. i can't seem to have Airplay mirroring on and have sound output to my headset.

YouTube is silent. Video but no audio. What can I do? FireFox 5

FireFox 5, June 2011 plays YouTube video but no audio.
Volume set at maximum. What can I do besides returning to FireFox 3 or Internet Explorer?

Hi.
Sometimes, even if your computer's volume is set at maximum, the volume of a particular application (such as Firefox) might be muted.
Please check the [[No sound in Firefox]] article.
I hope that helps :D

How can I cut some video but keep audio running?

Hello
I once knew how to do this but forgot, and can't find it in any discussions or help files.
I have some shaky, crummy video but the audio in it is good.
I am editing the video, but I want to keep a running audio track from the original DV import.
"Paste over at playhead" is not the answer (unless I got it wrong).
I doubt this is the best way to do it but I am presently copying a clip; extracting the audio; placing that audio back into the timeline under the video; hacking up the video...and hoping the length is close to perfect. (Surely not the way to do it).
Tips? Thanks

David
You know, somehow your explanation made more sense than the iMovie Help file explanation. (Though it has some additional info that touches on what remains a bit of a problem for me).
In any case, thanks. I am using this technique right now. The difficulty that remains for me is how to deal with a short segment of video (to paste) over a 2 or 3 times longer segment of audio. The help info and my own experimentation show that the remaining space gets filled with black. Not very pretty or smooth.
Which leads me to my response to the other person who replied to my post...
*Glo H*
Yes. I am copying the clip so I can have needed video to fill the space as the audio plays. But I'm pretty sure this is not the smart, most efficient way.
(See David's reply).
I am continuing experimentation but am very much open to any other suggestions.
Thanks again.

HT201177 I have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDIC. I have good video, but no audio. Can anyone help?

I have have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDMI. I have great video but no audio from TV. Only what is coming out of my computer,
Never mind, I lreferenced some other posts with the solution. Thanks anyway!

Only MacBook Pro's from mid-2010 onwards support audio through the mini-DisplayPort. You will need to hook up a cable from the headphone socket to the TV.

Capturing video only- no audio

Hello- I have sound when I play back the tape in my video camera-but when I capture to FCE there is no sign of the audio and no audio upon playback. I put in a tape that I captured successfully from before(including audio) and same problem with that capture- no audio...
I tried changing to "Canvas Playback"- no difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.-Thanks.

Hello- No sound waves. One thing I checked and am not sure of-in "system settings"-Scratch disk-there are 4 headings of "Video capture", "audio capture", "video render" and "audio render"
Three of them are checked off- except "audio capture" this box is grayed out and I can't make it active. Is this the issue?
Other things seam a little buggy also... I'm wondering if I need to reload the software?
Thanks...

Good Video But Terible Audio

I have just got a Phillips SPC900NC USB web cam, I have got the iChatUSBCam 2.1 & Macam.0.9.0 software to make it work with iChat.
I get great video but the audio is very choppy and the spoken words are indistinguishable.
Can anyone help me to get it right?
Ive also tried Skype but cant get the video to work, I did get it to work once but again the audio was indistinguishable or not even there when the video was.
If people can help me on the iChat first as that is what i will be using to talk to my parents.
Thanks
Adrian

HI Adrian,
The original specs did say
iSight, Any Firewire DV Ouput Camcorder and Firewire web Cams
Eccam gave the option of External USB cams
Most of these are Web cams but the utility works for some camcorders that don't export in DV as well as those that use USB.
(No you can't sue)

Have you ever had video, but no audio in FCP?

I had a friend digitize footage(as uncompressed 8bit) for me on his mac at work. When I import the clips into FCP there is video, but no audio. Audio does indeed exist because you can here it if the clips are opened in Quicktime. Any ideas on getting the audio to play?
Thank You Very Much!!!

Welcome to the forum!
What codec is the clip? If its a muxed MPEG clip, you'll need to demux/convert it to an editable format prior to importing into your FCP project.
To find out what codec was used to make the clip, open it in QT and hit Command j, then click on 'Video Track' to see the specs.

FLVPlayback - Video but no Audio

I'm building a flash projector who's main purpose is to play video.
Everything was working great, but occaisionally the video player showed video but no audio. It did this inconsistently - sometimes it would work, sometimes it didn't, and the volume always reported back as "1"
Here is some of the excerpted as3 I've written:
flv_player.height = 720;
flv_player.width = 1280;
flv_player.x = 0;
flv_player.y = 0;
flv_player.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
flv_player.source = my_source; // (variable string containing path to f4v file)
addChild(flv_player);
// ======= //
flv_player.play();
flv_player.seek(desired_s); // number
for now, I've fixed the problem by throwing in a half second wait using setInterval, after adding the child and starting the player (where // ===== // appears above
What bothers me about this fix is:
A) there's a half second of sitting on black and
B) I don't know why it's not working or why a wait fixes it.
I tried waiting to play until the fl.video.VideoEvent.READY event fired from the the FLVPlayback object, but no dice.
Any ideas out there?

I did come up with a solution, and it seems to work, though it's not as elegant as I'd like. I now add the FLVPlayback component (set to auto start playing), and set an interval to check if it's started playing every 33 ms (or roughly every frame). Once it/s 200ms in, I presume the video and audio are muxed and I can seek. Here's some excerpted code from my MovieClip class:
//adding flvplayback
                              flv_player.height = 720;
                              flv_player.width = 1280;
                              flv_player.x = 0;
                              flv_player.y = 0;
                              flv_player.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
                              flv_player.source = my_source;
                              flv_player.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, on_complete);
                              addChild(flv_player);
                              // right now, it's going to check to see if the video is playing.
                              my_interval = setInterval(start_playing,33);
private function start_playing():void
                              // if the video is 200ms in, we'll presume the audio is muxed and will start the show!
                              if (flv_player.playheadTime > 0.2) {
                                        clearInterval(my_interval);
                                        my_interval = new uint();
                                        flv_player.seek(my_in_point);

QT + MPEG-2 plays video but no audio

I'm trying to play mpeg-2 videos that were created by my video camera. I've got QT 10.0 running on OS X 10.6.4. I found QT didn't recognize .mpg, so I purchased the mpeg-2 playback component. With it installed, I can now view my .mpg videos but they have no sound. What am I doing wrong?
I'm a apple rookie, be gentle

Just to document what I've found so far. I tried installing QT 7, the MPEG-2 addition from apple again. It would still play video but no audio. Unfortunately, the test mpeg-2 from apple support DID work, which indicated I must have something wrong with my file. However, this is one of 250+ files I have recorded from my digital camcorder and they play on any number of Windows players without issue.
I then tried Perian codecs since I found references it would address a similar problem. I tried VCD and MPEG Tools from BurningThumb. I tried mpeg screenclip. I also tried changing my Audio Midi setup to 2ch-16 bit from 2ch-24 bit. All to no avail.
In the process I found that my .mpg files and .avi files had the same problem. Both played video fine but neither had audio. I then installed VLC and presto! All worked as they were supposed to!
I still don't know why QT won't play it--it seems like it should.
