Capturing video-no audio

Hey all,
How can I capture just video without audio?
Thanks a lot.

Using FCE you can't. There is no internal on/off settings.
You could use a converter and not connect the audio. Quality will take a hit though.
Thing is, even if you capture the audio, you do not have to edit it into the Timeline. You simply tell FCE not to use audio. This only applies to editing, not capture.

Capturing Video w/Audio in iMovie?

Hi,
I was just wondering if it's possible, using the iSight and the built-in mic on a MBP, to capture video w/audio with iMovie? Or just video w/out audio? I tried to capture video, but the audio didn't seem to come through at all. If it's not possible, any program reccomendations?
Cheers,
Tom.

Hi Tom:
Just to be sure, do you have thee timeline audio boxes checked?

Capturing Video (and audio) in iMovie 09?

Hello-
I need to import some video and audio form some beta tapes and am wondering if this can be done in iMovie 09? Some of the tapes are hour long documentaries that i have scored and I have read on this forum that people have run into problems when trying to capture more than 5 minutes of footage. I have also read that there have been issues capturing the audio.
Would I have more success capturing in FCE? Picture and audio quality is paramount for me.
Thanks!!

You can import into iMovie '09, but you need some kind of analog-digital video converter.
Apple sells this one: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TJ555LL/A
but there are many other devices available. Some with less features are substantially cheaper.
My old Firewire connected camcorders can do this conversion, but not all can, so take a look at your camcorder's manual if you do not already know.
iMovie can take the Firewire output of your converter and capture the import directly to your disk.
The video output quality of VCR tapes will not be as high as digital sources, but, in my experience, you will certainly lose some video quality with iMovie '09. I suggest you test a short segment captured or imported into iMovie '09. If you see video too much degradation, test with FCE. FCE will retain all the quality that your VCR tapes can offer.

CAPTURING VIDEO AND AUDIO FROM THE DESKTOP

I AM USING A PAVILION DV 7-6163 WINDOWS 7 OS.
WHEN I CAPTURE VIDEO OF MY DESKTOP, I ALSO CAPTURE ANY NOISE MY MICROPHONE PICKS UP. A COUGH OR SNEEZ. HOW DO I PREVENT THIS?
THANK YOU,
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Its simple. DONT cough or sneeze when you are capturing video.
The notebook which you have has a digital dual-microphone array which features beam-forming, echo-cancellation, and noise-suppression software support.
Also Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features, uninstall IDT Audio drivers , restart the computer and install updated drivers from here and see if that helps.

Captured Video's Audio is out of Sync

I have captured a MiniDV tape
at NTSC/48KHz via Firewire
and the Video's Audio is out of sync
in both the Viewer and Canvas
The original tape playback is fine
so I'm not sure why this is happening
My Capture Presets are correct and
I re-captured the same clip twice and
the same Sync problem persists
Please advise, thanks

Silal,
I noticed that your response, here was based on a 32 Khz audio setting. Can you elaborate a little more on why this would tend to throw audio and video out of synch?
I am capturing DV NTSC, 32 Khz video and audio, (via. mini DV tape) The clip that I am importing is one, long, 60 minute clip. Even though I have created a new setup that indicates the audio will be captured at 32 Khz, I am finding serious video/audio synch problems towards the end of the clip.
Typically I use the DV NTSC firewire, 48Klhz setting when I create a new project but I don't usually capture long clips like this. Can you offer up any suggestions on what I might try to remedy this synch problem?
The material that I am using is an already edited piece that was dumped onto miniDV tape. I need to re-capture this material to FCP so that I can re-order its segment positioning for a new DVD. The tapes have solid time code but I am getting those annoying synch issues when I review the footage after capture.
Where else should I be making adjustments to my project settings other than where I have already made them? Thanks.
Steve

Capturing Video and Audio

Hi all. This is my first post in anything to do with Flex or
Flash for please excuse any ignorance.
I wish to allow someone to simply record audio or video from
the flash app in the browser (i see these options when i right
click) and have that data sent to my sever and save as a flash fiel
to play back later.
It is so common place that i can't imagine there isn't a "no
development required" end to end solution for this where i just
plug the client component into my existing web page.
Anyone have any pointers? I'm just playing around with some
ideas so the cost can't be high, but this is a fairly basic add-on
to flash player that could be done through flex is my thoughts?
thanks,
Steven

Capture video or audio separately ?

Hey-
My G-5 & Final Cut Pro are history. I'm now on a Macbook Pro with Final Cut Express. The old FCP had a capture window with tabs that allowed you to check audio or video capture. Express looks stripped down and the manual doesn't discuss those old, wonderful options. What is everyone doing now - or did I miss something in the manual?

Hey Tom -
Why did they take that capability away - it saved a lot of space on big projects?

Captured video not in sync with audio

I capture video and audio from a Sony Beta SX A-75 using the SDI output through Blackmajc card into dual 2.5. We are using DV compression. The audio is out of sync after capture. It is 3 frames off. If I slide the video 3 frames to the right on the timeline , then it looks ok.
Capture/Input Blackmagic NTSC-DV
Device Control Blackmajic NTSC 29.97 Hz
Anyone know what's going on?
2.5 dual Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Either the sample rate of the audio is off, or, as I suspect, some decks/cameras have to be given an off-set in FCP. Don't remember off hand where that setting is. You may want to check with Blackmagic (Decklink) support about it.

Need to capture video clip from local news story site.

Does anyone know of a way to capture video clip from an online source for adding to iMovie.
The clip I would like to get is a piece done locally and added to a local news site.

Video on the web can be in many forms - most of which aren't easy to download.
What I do, is use SnapzProX from http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
This lets you capture video (and audio) from your computer screen.
I have seen FLVR mentioned as a way to capture Flash video, but haven't tried it yet. ( http://www.tastyapps.com )
To get the best quality, you can probably buy a tape of the clip from the station at a 'reasonable' price.

Premiere Pro CS3 Capture Problem with Audio

Setup:
Premiere Pro 3.2.0
Video Capture Device: Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro capture card
Audio Capture Device: HT Omega Claro Plus XP
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
I am able to capture video with Premiere with no issues. However, the audio does not get captured even though it is set to capture both audio and video. I am configured for ASIO capture and playback. Strange thing is that I can load Adobe Soundbooth and it will capture the audio just fine (from the same input stream as I'm trying to do with Premiere). What gives? I'm almost out of options.
From what I can see, when I hit F5 and go into capture mode, Premiere seems to insist that it must capture audio from the blackmagic design audio ports, and even though I have the audio explicitly setup for the Claro in audio hardware, if I go into the capture settings, it still is set on "Blackmagic Capture" as the capture format, and when I go to settings, I can pick the audio channels to capture, however.... I don't want to capture with the blackmagic for audio. The capture format MUST be "Blackmagic Capture" or else I can't capture the video. It still doesn't make sense though, since I have the audio hardware set for input from the claro ASIO. It shouldn't force Blackmagic audio.
Any ideas? Please help

Some additional information:
Sound card is a Claro Plus XT not XP. Used to typing XP heh
Also, the video capture works with the included blackmagic capture software, as well as freeware solutions like VirtualDub and a Japanese freeware program I use. I'm able to capture video and audio without issue on those. Just don't know why Premiere doesn't do it...

Capturing video using usb webcam in QTPRO

I have a duo core mac mini and QTPRO 7. I am preparing a lecture for teachers to record their demonstrations and lectures and then play them back to students. I am trying to use QTPRO and usb webcam to keep cost down for teachers. I have installed Maccam 8.8 and can recognize and choose usb camera in QTPro. I can even change compression and setting and capture video and audio. The problem comes when I stop the recording in QTPro. The newly created movie opens and then....the spinning ball of death starts to spin and never quits. I try to force quit QT (which isn't responding) but it won't quit. I have to shut down my mini and restart. At which point the movie created can be openned and played and everything is fine, until I try to capture another movie. It works but this is combersome. This is really inconsiderate of Mac, to make it so you can only use firewire cameras, of which I think only the isight is left. Used to be you could plug almost anything into a Mac and it worked. That was something that Made them great. Now well, lets limit the buyers. This problem also occurs on my MacBook Pro.
duo core mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you can afford it, use an iSight camera ( much better quality than most webcams, and AF as well) and Quicktime Broadcaster ( free) to record the video.
If you search you will find a few articles on how to use QTB to record to your HDD. Very good quality in good light.

Out of Sync Audio after capturing video

I have a video that I captured that the audio is in sync during the capture by using audo preview but, when view it in the view window, the words are out of
sync from her lips.
The video was recorded on my sony pd150, 48k audio, and Im using prostudio2 on my new quad core.
Havent had this problem before.
What should I check or do?
David

Double check that the audio is actually 48khz (Aud Rate) and 16bit (Aud Format). You can check this in item properties or in a browser column.
Captured clips have been known to come in with slightly skewed Aud Rates...like 47.998khz or 48.001khz, etc. If this is the case, just export as aiff 48k/16b and relink with the original video.
Might see what your Main Menu pulldown lists under...Final Cut Pro / System Settings / Playback Control / Frame Offset.
My frame offset is at '4'. This gives me sync while I'm working, but when capturing, you see it as out of sync.

Is there a way to mute audio when capturing video?

I have the FCPX installed and want to background capture video without listening to the audio. There was a small preview checkbox with the audio meteres in FCP 7. Is there a similar option in FCPX?

Yea, that certainly works, but it doesn't let me do anything else that requires listening to audio.

Video and Audio not in sync after capture

Hi there,
This is probably a common problem, I have trawled the site but can't seem to find and explanation for it.
I'm capturing vide/audio into final cut pro from my SONY DVR. The video i have streaming into the sony DVR is from a small covert video device which records video/audio onto an SD card. SO I'm running that into the DVR and then DVR is outputting that as DV PAL firewire (uncontrollable device).
I'm capturing the 40 minutes of video as one clip, and when i drag it into the timeline the audio and video are WAY out of sync. Is there a simple reason for why this is happening?
It's almost as if not capturing it right.
I hope someone can help,
Thanks in advance.
Jamie McIntyre

It is interesting that you are having this problem. I recently purchased a brand new Mac Pro (a week ago) and I am using Premiere Pro and it is doing the exact same thing. I mean this video and audio is REALLy out of sync. I tried capturing an hour at a time, and 30 minutes at a time. Still, no luck. I was debating on getting Final Cut, but after reading this post I am rethinking not only Final Cut, but using Apple all together. Part of me thinks that it is not a Premiere or Final Cut problem but a Mac OS problem. But hey, what do I know. I only edit for a living.
