Capture audio and video files to seperate files

Forum,
Having suffered problems with OS 10.5 and Quicktime 7.4.1 I have done a clean install with 10. 4 .11.
When I select capture the following notice appears
"Audio only capture selected,video preview disabled"
In system settings "capture audio and video to seperate files " is NOT checked.
But that may not mean the same as the statement in in the capture window.
I have searched HELP and a book called" Optimizing your Final Cut Pro System" but can not find an answer.
Advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
Michael Craven

Hi,
Check this:
in Log & Capture window select Clip Settings tab and make sure video box is checked.
Cheers,
G.

How do I synchronise audio and video with an mpg file created in elements 11 ?

How do I synchronise audio and video with an mpg file created in Premier Elements 11 ?
The source files are VOB files, and there is no problem with those source files. But after creating the mpg file, the audio can be out of sync by 1 second or even 10 seconds, and sometimes zero seconds (ie perfectly OK). That varies. The variation might be linked to some of the VOB files. ie. some are OK, and some are not.
Can I fix this automatically in Elements 11, or am I doing something wrong ?

Hartwood,
First, Premiere (both Pro and Elements) do not handle MPEG Audio perfectly - they like some files, but not all files with MPEG Audio. That makes a VOB a less-than-perfect source file. Still, with a bit of work, one should be able to edit it just fine. One of the factors is that there is a very slight block-size difference between the Encoded Video Stream and the Encode Audio Stream in a muxed MPEG-2 file. That often does not play into things, but can cause slight OOS (Out of Sync) issues. Also, both Premieres need to create all I-Frame files for the Video Stream, which is in GOP (Group of Pictures) structure, so what one sees on the Timeline is really a proxy of the MPEG-2 file's Video Stream. The Audio Stream must also be Conformed to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 32-bit floating point, to be edited. That Conforming is perfect when one has PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit for the Audio Stream, but requires more work, when the Audio Stream is MPEG (one reason that some MP3's do not work well in Premiere). Several factors involved here, and a fair amount of work for the program. That is why DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio works so perfectly.
Now, fixing OOS might be easy, or might require a bit more work. This article goes into some workflows, that might be helpful: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436751?tstart=0
I can feel your pain, as I almost went crazy trying to fix OOS in a client's Project. They ONLY had the finished DVD, from which to work. The disc met the DVD-standards, so everything ripped/Imported fine, and when the simple edits were done (IIRC, there were four scenes, that had to be shortened, and then several Titles added), everything played fine in the Timeline. However, when I Transcoded that Timeline to be authored in Adobe Encore, two scenes went OOS. I went back to Premiere, and checked - all perfect there. I tried to judge the number of Frames that the Audio was out, in those scenes, and nudged them, tested, nudged, tested, and no matter what I did, I could never get the output files perfect, when Imported into Encore for authoring to DVD-Video. I tried DV-AVI, and letting Encore set the Transcoding automatically (usually a great way to work), I tried manually setting the Transcoding in Encore. I tried outputting to MPEG-2 from Premiere, and Importing that. No matter what I did, those two scenes were just OOS, and I could not even seem to improve them - it was like they were just locked OOS. I finally did some more editing, to break things up a bit, added a cut-away shot here, and there, and minimized the perceived OOS, but could never get it perfect. It was like trying to pick up quicksilver with a pair of tweezers!
Good luck,

Save audio and video signals in diferents files

Hi!!, How can i save the audio and video signals in diferent files?
I get the signals with:
for (int i = 0; i < tc.length; i++) {
        if ( (tc.getFormat() instanceof VideoFormat)) {
     this.VideoTrack= tc[i]
}else{
     if ( (tc[i].getFormat() instanceof AudioFormat))
          this.AudioTrack= tc[i];
Thanks

Ok, I've separated the tracks and i've saved the Audio signal in a file, but it save the full audio track and i only want save 10 seg.
I`m using
DataSink dsink=Manager.createDataSink(procesor.getDataOutput(), ml);
                         dsink.open();
                         dsink.start();
                         this.procesor.start();
                         Thread.sleep(10000);
                         this.procesor.close();
                         dsink.close();Thanks!!

Capture Audio and Video to different disks or not?

I thought that capturing audio and video to separate disks was more efficient, now I see in the FCS 2 documentation it says that this is not recommended for any of the DV formats. But it does not say why, or what the consequences of doing this are...
Does anyone out there know?
Thanks,
Pete d.

Now, Is there any value in putting the render files on a drive that is separate from the Capture disks?
Pete D.
Absolutely. Listen to your drives while doing an intense render. The Capture drive is grabbing all of the video clips in the stack, the system drive is grabbing software. If you render to the Capture drive, that same drive has to write, too. Reduce the load by using a Render drive.
I have four drives: System, Capture, Render, Output. The last is used for all exports, encodes, and transcodes.

Capturing audio and video .....

Hello everybody, I'm new to the world of Adobe Premiere Elements, a source present. I have a pavilon pc hp m9040n, Windows Vista Premium 32-bit, Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0. I want to capture audio and video on a DVD, the pilot is set to DV / HDV and the HDV format in the acquisition and says that the peripheral acquicision is not online. The same happens when I connect a video camera Hi8 Sony. Can help to solve this?, Thank you very much.

It sounds like you are having problmes capturing from two separate cameras. What are the manufacturers and the exact model numbers please? Also, how are these cameras attached to the computer, i.e. FireWire cable into the corresponding FireWire port on the computer?
It sounds as though you are attempting to do the Capture from within PE3. Is this correct? If so, what is the order that you connect the cameras, turn them on, their settings and the order that you launch PE3, and also the Capture module of PE3? Might be something there.
Good luck,

Capturing Audio and Video of DVD

I need to convert sections of a DVD (audio and video) that I narrated on to mp3/mp4 so I can put it up on my website.
Is there a way to do that with Quicktime? Some plugin?
Thanks
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Is there a way to do that with Quicktime? Some plugin?Not normally. While there is an MPEG-2 QT component for the video data, it ignores the audio. I would normally use MPEG Streamclip (free) to demux the audio data to AIFF. This is a very quick operation. Since the AIFF file is fully compatible, it can then be converted to other audio formats by QT Pro and/or iTunes.

Capturing Audio and Video Directly to Mac Pro

Is it possible to create a video by recording directly to the Hard Drive via FireWire?
I have a Mac Pro - 10 gigs of Ram, Quicktime Pro, Final Cut Express, Imovie.
I need to make some training videos that will be posted to the web and would like to streamline the process and record directly to the computer. Would like to create best quality possible but still go direct to the computer.
Can you suggest a camera (need good audio too) and application.
Thanks

Synchronizing several audio and video files automatically in premiere?

Hi there!
I'm working on a short film shot on the Arri Alexa, and all my audio is on seperate audiofiles, though synced through time code. So I'm wondering: In Premiere CC, is there a way to automatically synchronize several audio- and video files, using timecode (as you can in Avid), without having to merge them individaully? THis would save me a lot of time.

You can try using the "create multicamera sequence" command. That will create "multiclips" of your footage with its related audio. It can sync with timecode or use the audio for synchronization. When you need to export the edit for color grading, you can select all of them and choose multicamera>flatten. But beware that if you apply effects, such as speed ramp or intrinsic effects, those will be removed on a "flatten" command.

How to get audio and video in one file

hi...I am "premiere beginner user" and I have a simple question , I think..:)...Every time when I am trying to export media out from my premiere (using media encoder) I get video file and some audio files, but what I need is only ONE file, that contains both (audio and video)..for example , I have edited film in hd quality and I want it to export, I choose h.264 format(make some settings,pal,audio quality...) and when it´s "all done", only "result" I get is one video file and two audio files and they are not together :).....so please help mme anyone..ok and as you can see I am not from english speaking country, so sorry for my english...thanks for help....

There is no indication that something is out-of-sync or the ability to move/slip into sync like in FCE/FCP.
To the best of my knowledge, using match frame and overwriting the video with video+audio (or attaching it as a connected clip if you don't want to overwrite the video, which might have effects applied) is the best way to do this.
You can use the blade tool first in the timeline to get just the section you want to get back into sync. Make cuts so that you have a single clip that needs the audio resynced, select it, and use shift-F to select the original synced clip in the Event Browser. Make sure your play head is at the beginning of this video clip in the timeline. Press option-2, then 'q', and now you have the audio back in your timeline, synced with the video. Delete the old, no-longer-synced audio and you should be set.

OT: What viewers do you need to use ALL audio and video files?

I had a lot of trouble with audio and video files on my PC. I
now have a
MacBook Pro, which is a big improvement. But I still
frequently
encounter files that I can't use. I try to open them, but
Apple doesn't
know what to do with them. For example, I often encounter
unusable
videos while perusing news websites. I also have some audio
files with
.mva or .mvw extensions that don't work.
So what viwers/players do I need to download in order to be
able to play
every audio/video file that comes my way? iTunes handles .mp3
files, and
I also have QuickTime installed. I just viewed another video
after I
installed a Flash plugin. What else do I need to install?
Thanks.

Audio and video out of sync on converted AVI file

I am trying to convert a DVD to an AVI for playback on a device. When I import the DVD and publish it as an .AVI the output audio and video are out of sync. After about an hour of playback the audio lags the video by a full second. How can I correct this problem?

Walter0325
If you have Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8 and you want to rip VOBs from the DVD-VIDEO to export subsequently to DV AVI, here are the details....
1. Do you have DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen? Set the Premiere Elements 12 project preset manually.
File Menu/New/Project. Set the project preset to NTSC or PAL DV Standard or NTSC or PAL DV Widescreen depending on what you have.
Before you exit the new project dialog, make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on this Project.
2. In the Premiere Elements workspace, use Add Media/DVD camera or computer drive/Video Importer to get the VOBs (only the ones in the series VTS_01_1.VOB. Set to a folder in the Save In: location. Check mark next to Insert in Timeline. Hit Get Media.
3. If you have an orange line OVER the Timeline content, press the Enter key to get the best possible preview of what you have on that Timeline.
If after all that, the audio is out of sync, then use the Command Prompt method to get the individual VOBs into a single file with all the VOBs seamlessly merged. This worked nicely for a recent user here. See details in my blog post how to for the Command Prompt way.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/09/pe-dvd-videoseamless-vob-ripping.html
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Depending on your results, more information may be requested about the specific properties of what you have on that DVD disc.
Thank you.
