Captured Clips have no sound

Hey all. I worked on a project a while ago and I recently back to it. When I opened my project file and went to look at the clips I wanted to work on I noticed that the clips had image but no sound. I went to the original capture scratch clip and that clip is also soundless. Is there a way to get the audio back to a clip once it has already been captured or do I need to recapture all my clips?
Thanks

Mayhaps you captured video and Audio to different drives? Try selecting the audio clip in the timeline, got to reconnect media, and find out where the audio is supposed to be.

Imported .MPG clips have no sound......

I am working on a project and when I import .MPG clips that I previously downloaded from my camara, they have no sound. But when I play them in Quicktime, they DO have sound. What is the problem?
Thank you.

Hi Peter - the lack of sound is caused by the fact that iMovie is designed to handle DV formatted video, not MPEG. You will need to convert the clips, using this app.:
MPEG StreamClip (free):

Some apps have no sound since updating my iPad to ios7. Any ideas?

Two apps I have that catalogue YouTube golf clips have no sound since I updated to iOS 7. If I play the clips from You Tube, they work!!! The .03 update has not helped. Am I the only one or are other having issues with sound?

Apple does not provide an option to downgrade to a previous version of iOS. If glitches occur wth some apps, try a reboot:
press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.
Something else to try:
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. Some users report this speeds up their devices.

TS3391 iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project.

iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project. I googled the problem and there were discussions about deleting files in various folders and renaming clip extensions. I don't like the solutions I saw there and I am not sure they will work.

Nobody replied so I called Apple. They seemed to think they could fix the problem but I had to agree to pay about $20 first. I told them to put it down as a complaint. I only want to use the software I bought. I can't see that it is my fault it is malfunctioning. I guess I will have to pay. It doesn't seem right.

Capture Clip Limit 9:25:15

I just installed Final Cut, bought my computer with specificiations chosen for the program, and while trying to capture clips it stops at exactly 9:25:15 saying "There is a lack of disk space." I have a 500 gb hard drive and 500 gb external, and 2gb of RAM that I know the computer isn't utilizing fully. As far as I can tell I can't find limiters to recording time. The consistency of clip time before "disk space" error is strange as well. Any help would be amazing!

This sounds an awful lot like your problem to me. The forum search tool is your friend...

After Upgrading to 10.1, all clips have lost the audio component. Is there any way to get this back?

I have recently updated Final Cut Pro to 10.1, after this upgrade (as well as an upgrade to Maverick) non of the video clips in ANY event or project have any sound component. I have a backup of the project and event files before the upgrade, but I have no idea how I can get the clips back and if I do how I can update the numerous projects I have that no longer have sound. Has anyone else had this problem, if so were you able to fix this? Or am I just doing something wrong?
The clips have no wave form when I look at them so it's almost like they have been stripped of sound. If I goto the event browser and say reveal in finder, I am taken to Original Media, but these are tiny files that can't be played in VLC - they almost look like shortcuts or dynamic links or something...
Can anyone help me get the adio back on these or should I revert back to a previous time machine backup and not update to 10.1?
Thanks
Richard

Not sure what made the files lose the audio, but the solution for my issue was:
In Final Cut, right click on a clip in the event viewer, Reveal in Finder
Close Final Cut Pro
Export orginal clips from Aperture.
Copy exports into folder that the original meda was in, replace all
Open up Final Cut Pro
Load project again, it will start analysing the audio...

Blue screen of death, surprise restarts, and some captured clips distorted, with blocky artifacts!

Hello,
I've been using my set-up (Premiere Pro 2.0* with Cineform AspectHD) successfully for years, to capture and edit footage. But just recently, my computer has given me the blue screen of death after capturing for about 5-10 minutes or caused my computer to restart in the middle of capturing. I've also noticed that the resulting captured clips are, in some places, distorted and contain blocky artifacts. It isn't a problem with the tape because the footage plays just fine on the camera's preview monitor. I tried re-installing Premiere Pro 2.0 and Cineform AspectHD, but the problem persisted after a successful, but brief capture session (the resulting clips were still distorted and contained blocky artifacts). I have no idea what the problem is! One solution I attempted was to capture on another computer in my house, using the same software. Although I didn't get the blue screen of death or a surprise restart, the captured clips were still distorted and contained blocky artifacts in some spots. Another option I tried, with the second computer, was deselecting the Scene Detect option in the capture dialogue box. As a result, the captured clips are free of distortion and blocky artifacts, but the problem is that the captured clips are too big and very difficult to manage (I shoot a lot because I'm a filmmaker and I'm in the middle of a big project). Why is this happening?!
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!
*I'd use a later version of Premiere, but I spent a lot of money on Cineform AspectHD and the version of Cineform I have only works with Premiere Pro 2.0.

I agree with John T. BSOD's are most often caused hardware issues, such as overheating of a component, or a failing, or undersized PSU.
Also, general system drivers can cause failure. Often, those are outlined (though maybe not in really adequate detail) in the Event Viewer's log. In that article, that John T. linked to, there is another link to "Finding Clues." It goes into more detail on using Event Viewer to explore warning, or error messages. If your testing of your system's components and heat, do not yield a weak link, see that one (no pun intended). It is in Reply # 3.
Good luck,
Hunt

All clips have to be rendered

Everytime I log and capture a clip and try to play it in the sequence....it says the clips are unrendered....they haven't had effects applied or anything...where can I control render settings?

You should not need to render basic unaltered clips. To start with, you need to make sure your captured clips' settings and the sequence settings match.
If you use one of the EASY SETUPS for both your capture and your sequence, you will be in good shape. If you did not do that (and it sounds like that is the case...) a bit of snooping around is required.
What media are you capturing?
How are you capturing it?
What capture settings are you using? (check FINAL CUT PRO>AUDIO/VIDEO SETTINGS>CAPTURE PRESETS
What are your sequence settings (check SEQUENCE>SETTINGS)
The two should match exactly.
Now check the clip properties: Right click on the file in the timeline and open ITEM PROPERTIES. Verify the clip type, frame rate, pixel aspect ratio, audio, etc are all be the same as the SEQUENCE SETTINGS. They need to be the same if you want to work without rendering.
Good luck.

Is it possible to delete the audio of a captured clip permanently?

I know you can drag clips to the timeline without audio, or delete the audio from the timeline.
What I'm asking is: say you captured a bunch of clips with audio tracks that you didn't want, because you forgot to uncheck the audio box.
Is there some way you can delete the audio from the captured clips, without re-capturing everything? I'd like to have them sitting in my browser, without any associated audio.
I know you can change whether audio is present in a logged (but uncaptured clip) using clip settings, but that only works before the clip is captured.

Just think about this for a minute before you launch
yourself off into this realm. The audio doesn't
really take that much space. DV video runs at 3.6
MB/sec 48khz audio runs at 192kB/s. The audio takes
up nothing.
You're right - it's not worth the effort. It's just a minor annoyance. It would be easier to just recapture all the clips.

Batch List: How to capture clips inc info, from disk instead of tape

We have a client's edit log on Excel, including reel no, in/out, scene, description, log note etc. Usually we import this batch list to FCP, then batch capture from DVCAM tapes, so all clips have all their info - great.
In this case, the material is already digitised and the client has logged from DVDs burned with timecode from the digitised material being placed in FCP sequencecs with timecode generator filter.
Is there a way to 'batch capture' clips from the digitised material, so that we keep all the client logging info, as we would if we were capturing from tape?

Shane has got it right - we want to automatically build a sequence using that batch list. Or somehow have FCP make new clips or subclips from already captured footage... so if your verdict is right Shane, looks like we may have to go the manual route...
although - just occurred to me - for each clip, I could go to the digitised source sequence, duplicate it, open copy in timeline, enter clip's in and out tc in the viewer - and that will give me a copy of each clip as a sequence - rename that sequence as per the clip, and we're done.
But it's still of course more laborious than batch capture from tape; this is a concern going forward as we are switching to XDCAM EX, so of course the route to enable this client-edit-logging ( http://www.creationvideo.co.uk/info/timecode/ ) that we've always offered clients is no longer valid as the material is already online....
Any suggestions still welcome!

Captured clips are playing back at least TWICE as fast

Hey all- I am capturing HD footage from a JVC Pro HD camera - footage shot at 24P. Everything seems fine with the capture (except for the fact that there is no device control - only capture now), but when I play back the captured clips I hear the audio playing at normal speed but the video is playing back at leat at twice the speed - all actors are in FAST motion. I hear the crew and director speaking, getting ready to shoot as I watch the scene start and speed through and end right as the clip ends.
Any ideas? Is it a setting on the OUTPUT for the camera?
Thanks for any help.
Cayce

Neither Final Cut Express nor Final Cut Pro support
720p24 material. You need a product like HDVxDV to
bring it in.
Tom-
Thanks for getting back to me last night. You seem to be a master in these parts. I am new here. I am really a director and writer but through my production company I have done a number of things in FCP over the years, always without any problems. That is until the introduction of HD and 24p at which time I sort of started saying to our amazing editor "whatver you say" and clouding over with confusion. After I got your message I went and got FCP 5 from the Apple store in an attempt to keep my friend, whose short we were trying to edit, from crying. Once installed and running we had the same issue as we had in FCE HD - the video - in terms of quality - was captured perfectly, but the clips would play back at almost twice the speed that they should have. I tried virtually every easy set-up that pertained to HD and nothing worked. On a few of them I could get an actual Log and Capture window to come up but when I went to play the material via device control there was no image, althoug I could see TC running. A friend suggested that you have to take the captured HD 24p clip and bring it into the timeline and render it for it to work. Is that true? I tried it to no avail. So, he shot on JVC GY-HD 100 at 24p. I now have FCP 5 HD and am considering buying LUMIERE software that purports to streamline this very issue. Any thoughts or suggestions you may have for me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
M Cayce Lindner

Captured Clips Not in Browser

Am having a problem capturing video. The clips exist in the Capture Scratch folder but they have never made it to the project browser window.
Running 10.4.9 in an iBook G4. Using FCE HD 3.5. Scratch Disk set to an external hd (Maxtor 120) and Easy Setup to DV-NTSC 32 kHz Firewire Basic because my video camera is a Canon ZR 45. Using DV tape---no HD. What else? Initially had a problem with camera recognition, but did the QT thing which solved that.
Capturing is a problem, yet when I played the QT clips in the Capture Scratch folder they seem OK.
Anyone have an idea about what is (isn’t) going on? Maybe these clips were never captured at all. So why are they in the folder?

G'Day Lee.
If they are on the Scratch Disc and play correctly then the capture side of things is OK.
The only thing I can think of is that you may have had more than one Sequence open at the time and the captured clips in question have been associted with the Browser Folder that was the active capture bin.
Always look for a little clapper board icon at the top left of the Browser. It's into this Folder/Bin all captures appear. If so:
Open your Seqeunce, use File>Import Files, then navigate to your Scratch Disc where the files are you wish to have in Browser, select them and hopefully it's all good.

Removing background noise from captured clip

I wanted to edit an audio which was captured with Video also it contains some background noise.Which filter should I try for this in FCP.

I read that tutorial it is nice but I have only Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD not the SoundTrack Pro is there no option in FCP for editing audio I do not have much to edit I have to remove sound of a crow and in another video captured audio is having sound very low without increasing volume it is not possible to listen to it.
So for this any thing that can be done within FCP.
I have only Soundtrack 1.2 which is not professional version.

IPhone videos have no sound in iMovie preview

Movies imported into iMovie '09 (8.0.6) from iPhones (4&3GS) have no sound in preview when I click the spacebar, even iPhone clips that previously had sound no longer have sound in preview. Clips taken years ago with another camera still have sound in preview. All clips play fine in Quicktime in iPhoto. Clips have sound when dragged to the 'New Project' window in iMovie '09. I've clicked on the mute feature- which shows no volume when on and clips play.
Still have 150 GB of space on HD.

I have the SAME exact problem...it's very annoying.

Capture Clip Data Retention Problem

During the logging/capturing process I have been entering information into the various Clip Data fields, such as Description, Scene, and Log Note. Once the clips have been logged, the Clip Data info. entered does appear in the Project Panel next to the clip icon. However, when I start a new PProCS4 session, and retrieve those same clips...the Clip Data that I had entered does not appear next to the clips in the Project Panel?!? Does this have to do with a Metadata issue? Anyhelp ASAP would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Click on the .Mac tab at the top of this window. Then log in OR if it shows your information, click on "Account" in the upper left. After you log in, right beside Data Transfer/month you'll see the amount of data transfer bandwidth you have and to the right of that will be "Details". Clicking that will take you to a page that shows how much you've used for the month. If, in less than two weeks, you go over HALF of your allotment, (if your bandwidth is 10 GB, that'd be 5 GB) then your site is shut down until you a) raise your bandwidth limit by buying more space or b) wait until the two weeks are completely up and your account will be reset to use another 5 gigs for the last two weeks of the month.
Just keep an eye on this number and you'll have an idea of how close you are to being shut down (I've never gone over 4 gigs for an entire month).
