Can I defeat my DV Camera's audio for a line in?

Thanks in advance.
I'm using a professional sound system and a Mini DV camera to record live acts. I want to use iMovie, but my (fairly cheap) video camera's audio has an auto level function that cannot be defeated. This makes running the audio through the camera unacceptible. I can't find a way to configure iMovie to record audio from the line in port instead of the firewire input from the camera.
Can this be done? HELP!
Thanks again,
Doug Dye

"..how hard is it to link the audio and video in iMovie?.."
Easy; find a common starting point ..that's what the clap of a clapperboard was for.. ..such as a visible hit on cymbals, or just clap hands in front of a camera, then align that clap on the audio track with the sight of the same thing in the video track.
"..Do you have experience with that?.." ..Yes.
"..I'm just thinking that too many things can go wrong with the QuickTIme "New Movie Recording" feature.." ..Yes; the Mac may want to jot down quick "scartchpad" notes for itself, and may interrupt the QuickTime recording. How long can QuickTime record for before interrupting itself?
..Gotta go now: bedtime ..g'night!

  • HD PowerShot camera whose audio for video of rock concerts is decent?

    Many years ago, I bought a Canon PowerShot SD870 IS Digital ELPH.  I loved the camera as it not only took good pictures, but the sound quality of videos I took of live metal and rock concerts was outstanding.
    Then, the camera broke after many years of good use.
    Since then, I have purchased several new PowerShot cameras only to find that the sound quality of the videos from live shows is awful.  The sound is severely distorted by procession instruments (bass and drums).
    Can anyone recommend an HD PowerShot camera whose audio for video of rock concerts is decent?  I don’t want a dedicated video camera.
    Thanks much -- Denis

  • How can I use the specific camera's audios in Multicam?

    Hello, I am fairly new to PremPro and I am trying to put together a multicam piece.
    The piece is me and my friend playing a game, he recorded his screen and game audio and I did the same.
    Camera1 - My Angle & Audio
    Camera2 - My friends Angle & Audio
    The main issue im having is that I cant get the audio for the specific angle to play ONLY when that angle is up.
    I tried a few ways but I couldn't get it.
    EG. This is without changing any settings, just making the multicam sequence then switching angles in multicam window.
    My angle is up and I hear my audio, when I switch to my friends angle, I can only here my audio and not his.
    EG. This is enabling the sound on both videos before adding to new sequence.
    When any angle is up I hear both audios.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Any Ideas anyone?
    please...

  • On my iPad2 I get a black screen when Itry to open FaceTime.  Others can contact me and the camera and audio work.  How do I fix this problem?

    On my iPad2 I get a black screen when I attempt to open Face Time.  Others can contact me and they come in with video and audio.  I can chat with them as well.  Is there a fix for this?  I have verified my email address twice.  I have turned FaceTime on and off several times as well. 
    Thanks,
    Bill

    I double clicked the round button when the icons appeared I held down and selected the FaceTime icon while it was shaking I selected the minus sign on the FaceTime icon closing it out.  Then I restarted the iPad and bingo FaceTime works now. 

  • Airport Express as wifi audio for ip camera?

    Hello all. I have a question regarding Airport Express's audio transmitting capabilities. First, I recently purchased an Airport Express to expand the wifi range in my new house. The house is one floor, and my Linksys N router is located on the other side of the house from my bedroom. The signal from the Linksys is spotty at best in the bedroom, so I have the Airport Express connected via CAT5 in bridge mode in my bedroom. The signal is great and everything has worked fine so far with that setup.
    The reason that I needed wifi stronger in the bedroom is that we have 2 IP cameras that we use as baby monitors for our toddler and newborn. We have a Trendnet system, which includes a 7" wifi monitor that displays multiple Trendnet cameras connected to your network simultaneously. That all works great as well, with only one drawback. The monitor does not support audio from the 2 IP cameras at all. So I get video but no audio, and the audio is important when using them as baby monitors.
    The IP cameras are audio capable, and you can actually hear the audio when you access the cameras from your computer. The only problem is that we have a desktop at home and no laptop (although I recently purchased an iPad, but all IP camera apps that I seen so far have the same lack of audio issue). The IP cameras also have a 3.5 mm output jack on them, so you can hook up speakers to them to extract the sound that way.
    My question is this...if I purchased a 2nd Airport Express, is there a way that I could connect the audio output to an AE (through the 3.5 mm jacks) by the baby's camera, and then have the audio wirelessly transmitted to the AE in our bedroom (hooking up a small set of speakers to the AE in the bedroom as the output for the audio)?
    I'm very new to the Airport Express world, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, but no. The audio port on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an audio OUTPUT port, not an input port ... so connecting the output audio from the camera via this port won't work. The AX's audio is dependent on receiving an AirTunes (or ROAP protocol) stream over IP ... typically from iTunes (or as Jolly has pointed out via a third-party solution like Airfoil).

  • How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)

    How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)?  I have quite a few libraries created as backup files.

    Terence,
    Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other  folders appear only once.
    I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
    I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
    Thanks again.

  • FCPX 2 camera shoot, audio 1/2 frame out of sync

    We’re having trouble syncing audiop between two Panasonic HD cameras. We are both set to 1080i 30 fps but when we try to sync the video, we find that the audio from one camera is 1/2 a frame out of sync with the other camera. If it was a full frame, the fix would be pretty easy but we’re stumped by the 1/2 frame. So two questions:
    1. Why is the audio 1/2 a frame out of sync?
    2. Any suggestions for ways to fix this?

    The first thing you need to check is the frequency of the audio. In FCPX, it should be 48KHz. How far off the sync is will be determined by the length of the clips.
    If your audio is NOT 48K, you can try selecting the clip, detaching the audio (if it's not already separate from the video), select the audio and select Conform Speed from the speed from the Retime menu. Or you can manually retime the audio to match the video by setting markers on the video and audio separately, then Retime the audio with snapping turned on - it will snap immediately to your "sync points."

  • Canon cameras have audio sync issue with FCP?

    My mini dv deck died on me so,
    I am using a small palm size Canon mini dv firewire camera to transfer about 50 tapes.
    I am having a weird audio sync issue.
    Sometimes the capture footage plays down in sync - I pause>scroll>play - and it's suddenly out of sync. This keeps happening. Sometimes it plays in sync. Other times it does not.
    Because it's hit and miss- I'm not sure I can even re-sync.
    I imagine it could be the media drive (internal)- but I have other video files on this drive that play fine.
    I don't often use firewire capture.
    Is audio sync a common firewire issue?
    Will the quality suffer if I capture through composite/analog audio outputs?
    I can patch it through my
    decklink card.

    Audio sync is an issue with Firewire, just not all the time. Usually it is fine, but a lot of Avid people don't like Firewire for this reason.
    Most often it is a 5 frame sync issue. Slip your audio 5 frames forward and see if that solves the problem.
    As well, take a look in your Browser after you capture a clip and see if the Aud Rate is either 48,000.5 Hz or 47,999 Hz. I have seen the clips come in as both of these. Once you slip the footage, export the audio only, then reimport and attach the audio to the clip in the timeline. Should take care of it.
    Post back if these don't work.

  • How can I defeat this nuisance pop-up?

    How can I defeat the grey semi-transparent (Zoom - Zoom +) (Open in Preview) (Save to Download) mouse-over pop-up in my Acrobat Forms? It's so big it covers several of the check-box choices. Thanks.

    Yes, it is a good idea to use Find My iPad.  To sign out without losing anything, do the following:
    If you're running iOS 8.1, save any start by saving any my photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then Save Image.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPad and provide your password when prompted (any iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Then sign back in (any iCloud data will download back to your iPad).

  • On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

    On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

  • Mobile data doesn't work and I can't access the front camera.

    Hi, I received my new Xperia Z3 Compact in white just over a week ago and unfortunately I have few unresolved issued with it which kind of spoils the experience of owning a new phone.
    I  just switched from a number of Iphones and Xperia was the handset that really impressed me.
    I couldn't see the point of getting an overpriced Iphone with a limited storage capability.
    Unfortunately my Xperia Z3c has some issues;
    - I can't get the front camera work
    - I can get my internet only through Wi-Fi and my unlimited 3G data doesn't work at all (T-Mobile U.K)
    - Three Swipe Gesture doesn’t appear to be working as it should on any Android device (I'm told).
    So I am not a very happy user at the moment and slowly starting to miss the Iphone.

    Hi casson50ml,
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Sorry to hear about these issues, I would first suggest clearing the data for the camera.
    Menu > settings > Apps > All > Camera > Clear Data
    Once done try using the device.
    In regards to the Internet, try performing an Internet settings download.
    Menu > Settings > More > Internet Settings > Accept Disclaimer > Choose Network.
    Now try using the network data on the handset.
    Can you explain more about the 3 Finger Gesture issue?

  • We can't get to the camera roll right now

    I have a dell Latitude 10 table with Windows 8.1 RT. Last week I decided to unload all the pictures from the camera roll to my PC and I did it without a problem, but in the process I removed the camera roll folder under the public pictures library. Since
    then, the camera app is not working and it gives me the following message: "We can't get to the camera roll right now". I've re-created the folder, set the default save location and public save locations to the Public Pictures folder but the error
    keeps popping up every time I open the camera application. If I try to shoot a photo or a video it tells me that it couldn't be saved. How do I set the camera app to use the new folder?

    I had the same Problem, and all experts could not help. I even dowloaded tools that say thy would fix the problem. Anyway as a matter of fact it still is a computer, no magic.
    I found a way: Open regedit, search for "User Shell Folders".
    Then check all the directories.
    In my case one of the directories refered to the one I deleted. I just changed it and restarted my computer.
    On my iconia it saves into this key:
    I changed it | Keep the Name of the folder "Camera Roll" depending on your language it will rename the folder in the Explorer library automaticly. (in Germany to Eigene Aufnahmen)

  • I just can't find my ip cam on the network....?

    i just can't find my ip cam on the network....? Its plugged directly to time capsule whoyh ethernet cabel. but nothing to find on my mac...?? its a sony sensor 2mp ip cam an i have iMac and time capsule and some iPhone and a hp printer on this network everything is working fine but i justb cant find the cam... please HELP :-)

    becourse i can find the ip and mac adress from the cam on my Dell Laptop running on Windows vista
    Is this setup as you described.. the camera plugged into the TC? Both Mac and PC plugged or on wireless from the TC?
    What exactly is the IP of the camera?
    What is the IP of the TC?
    When you say you cannot find the CAM on the TC what exactly are you expecting?? Nothing at all will show up from the CAM on the TC when you have it plugged in by ethernet.
    How do you open the IP camera to access its controls.. on the PC or does it use a special PC only software??is it just via a browser?
    Have you tried opening it via browswer in the Mac?? if the layout is as you described and you can open it from the PC then the Mac will work exactly the same.. but cheap CAMs will not have Mac software. So this will only work from a browser.
    butt on the Dell laptop i cant install airport tool? or can i ?
    Of course you can install the windows version of the airport utility.. how does this help you.. I think you do not understand that the TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it offers nothing for your network.. it will never be able to see the Camera.. it is not smart enough to do anything but save files from a computer.
