Compound Clip, Audio roles, and X2Pro Audio Convert

Hi Everybody,
Here is the problem :
- In my project, all media have specific roles, especially audio (Interview, Interview_Ambiance, Sfx, Music etc...).
- Interview and Interview_Ambiance are in compound clips. These Compound clips have the default Video/Audio roles: "Video/Dialogue".
- When using X2Pro for exporting the AAF (audio channels) from the project, the only roles available for exporting (from the X2Pro soft) are dialogue and music.
I'm wondering if anybody else had the same issue and if it is from X2Pro or FCPX.
Thanks!
Emmanuel.

TImecode shouldn't matter. FCP doesn't use it. Have you tried the sync function?
you can also select the video and use open in timeline, then add the audio into it to sync it.
COmpound clips shouldn't be involved.
WHat are the  audio sample rates?

  • I am trying to use the auto audio-sync feature. When I select the video and audio clip to be synced FCPX says its syncing them and then once finished (at 100%) no compound clip is created and the video and audio file do not sync. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi
    In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
    on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
    down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
    Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • When breaking apart my compound clip, audio is no more visible in the clips

    when I broke aprt my large compound clip the audio part of teh clip was no longenr visible therefore i could not work on tne audio part ;What can be done ?

    file://localhost/Users/denavand/Downloads/fcpX.tiff
    I think I found the answer because I just made smaller compound clips and when I break  them apart the audio is again visible but this time the video is only visible in the viewer and inspector which is enough to edit sso far...

  • Compound clip audio issue

    I record table-top games, and capture audio from an external microphone. I then sync them up into a compound clip with the camera audio muted and the good audio turned up. The problem is, whenever I go to cut up the clip (delete unnecessary bits), there is a very noticeable audio jump between cuts. Like the audio shuts off and on very quickly, even when I just make a splice and don't delete anything. I've cut up different clips using the same equipment numerous times and it has always been seamless, so I am guess that this is an issue with using compound clips. Does any one have a solution? driving me crazy.

  • How do I move a compound clip from time line to an event in event library

    How do I move a compound clip made in the time line into the event library to store it for latter use?

    With *no other* clips selected, you can create a New Compound Clip (right click and select from popup) in the Event browser; Copy the compound clip in the storyline; double click new empty compound clip to open it in its own timeline and paste the copied compound clip. When you go back to the storyline, the compound clip in the Event browser is updated with the newly pasted compound clip item. If you want to uncompound the stored clips, when in the New compound's timeline, right click on the pasted compound and select Break Apart Clip Items...  The only problem you run into if you break items apart is if you have Effects applied to the storyline compound clip, you will lose those effects because the "new" compound in the Event browser will not have those effects and you can't copy/paste effects back into the Event browser, only items in a timeline.

  • Syncing audio in Final Cut Pro X doesn't create a compound clip

    I just had a quick question that hopefully someone can help me with. I was shooting some video with my Canon t3i the other day, and I record audio into a Zoom H1. I imported all of my audio and video into Final Cut Pro X and I wanted to syncronize the clips, so I chose the video and the correct audio to go with it, and I right clicked them, and chose syncronize clips.
    Now, my question. On every example I've seen of this, syncronizing two clips creates a compound clip which would be great, but when I choose syncronize clip, it just creates a new clip of the video with both audio files apart of the video. It's not a compound clip at all, it's just a video file with two audio channels, one with the cameras audio, the other with the Zoom H1 audio. When I go to shut off the cameras audio channel and just leave the Zoom H1 audio, my video starts to skip and just goes black, yet the audio plays fine...
    I guess I'm just looking for help, is there something wrong that I am doing when I am trying to sync these clips? Are there certain file settings that I should have? My video is recorded in 1080p with 24fps, the audio is recorded in WAV format. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • Audio level different in compound clip

    Experiening an odd audio behaviour. I have created a compound clip and them dropped in interview into it. After that I place a compressor on the interview audio and set it to agerage at -20db. Once I them place the conpound clip onto a project the audio level in the peoject drops by -5db. I need to bump the project audio up +5db to get it back the agerage -20db it is in the compound clip. I have tried this on 2 systems with the same exact results.
    Is this the way it is supposed to behave? And if so why? Seems to me the audio level should stay consistant from the compound clip to the project.
    Mike

    That's odd. When you change the compound should update. Bring the compound clip into the project. Double click the clip to open its component clips. Make any change that's easily reversed – say, disable a clip (V). Close the project. Create a new empty project. Bring the compound to the new project. The disabled clip should not be visible.

  • Audio fades in compound clip

    I have an edited compund clip that someone created and every time I play it, there are audio fades in between the cuts that shouldn't be there and the person who edited it claims they never added them.  When I go and fix them all, next time I open final cut and play that clip, the fades are added back in.  Why is this happening?  Basicall in between the cuts audio drops at the end of the first cut and then goes up on the beginning of the next clip in the cut.  It's like FCX is doing this automatically, but I can't get rid of it for good.  Any ideas?
    Thank you

  • All additional audio tracks in synchronized or compound clips are merged into the mono-mix.

    Hi all.
    I have a video with a stereo track and six separate audio tracks from set. I synced them. If you open the synchronized clip in a separate timeline, all audio tracks are on place and have their names. But if I append it to the storyline and expand audio components, there are only two audio tracks: monomix from the original video with its name and one stereo track named "a1", which is a mix of all additional audio tracks. The same thing happens if I make a compound clip, with a small difference. It forced me to give up the work I wanted to do.

    Any thoughts?

    Multicam works, but it is not very convenient. I can not use Sync-N-Link as I had planned, I get problems with export AAF and DaVinci do not like multicam in XML.
    Channel configuration mirrors two tracks in the storyline, as you can see in the screenshots.

  • Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project in iMovie? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. Whenever I add audio or song it covers the whole project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Thank you for your reply Karsten but unfortunately this didn't help me so far. Or maybe I'm missing something?
    First the link is a tutorial for iMovie on a Mac. I'm using iMovie on iPad so the steps are inapplicable.
    Second it is only possible for me to manipulate the end part of the sound clip to whichever duration I want. But I can't do the same with the 'beginning' of the sound clip.
    I simply want to place some photos in the beginning of my video with no sound in the background then after like 2 secs I want to start the music clip. For some reason that is not possible! Cause every time I drop the music clip unto my project timeline it automatically place it self along with the first frame in the project! And consequently the photos and music are forced to start together.
    Hope I'm making sense...

  • Best video and audio converter that contains most format at mac app store

    Dear All;
    What is the best video and audio converter that contains most format at mac app store?Can you suggest any on Mac App Store?
    Regards;

    I use Wondreshare's dvd ripper. I travel for a living, so the $60 or $70 I spent to rip my entire dvd collection onto an external hard drive that I can take anywhere I go. Their software isn't available in the App Store to my knowledge but I have had it for a couple years now without any trouble.

  • Audio fade not working in compound clip

    How are you doing? When I have a compound clip of multiple audio files, the fade handle doesn't seem to be affecting the audio like it did before the update.
    Below is an example...

    actually, that audio compound clip is not inside the compound clip. What you are seeing is multiple audio files compounded together. When I do this, the fade does not work. I can automate the level line, but the fade handles are ineffective.

  • Sony DCR-DVD505 Handycam: Unable to get video clips, audio

    Evaluating Adobe Premier.  Hopefully helpful for other Sony DCR-DVD505 users.
    Objectives:
    1) Get videos from Sony DCR-DVD505 handycam into Premier Elements
    2) Drag and drop various clips into Sceneline
    3) Insert menu markers
    4) Burn DVD
    Stuck in Step 1, getting video from handycam, unable to get video clips (with audio)
    First Try: NO AUDIO.
    The Sony DCR-DVD505 burns a mini-DVD (1.4 GB) while recording.  After "finalizing" the disk, the media may be imported into the computer.  Streaming was supported by Windows XP driver but is no longer supported in Windows Vista.   In fact, Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) does not even recognize the camera as a DVD drive!  So downgraded to Vista SP1 and used the Sony Picture Motion Browser to import media into computer as MPG files.  Each MPG file is a clip (corresponding exactly to camera record on-off sequence while shooting).  Then opened up Adobe Premier Elements 8.  Used get media to import all the MPG clips into "Organize".  Dragged and dropped various clips...inserted a menu or two and...burned the DVD.  PROBLEM: VIDEO OK, BUT NO AUDIO(?!).  The MPG files on computer play fine (with audio) inside Windows Media Players.  Read all sorts of nonsense about why Adobe Premier (probably old versions) cannot work with "low-quality/compressed" MPG and needs to be a particular type AVI soo....
    Second Try: Capture VOB directly
    Forget the camera.  Insert the mini-DVD directly into computer DVD drive, create a new project and followed directions from  "Lowdown on VOB" http://forums.adobe.com/message/2117743 and "tools to convert to DVI" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317.  I loaded the VOB directly and dropped them into  Timeline as advised by the second post (only hitch being the first VOB pertaining to the DVD menu is not recognized and is neither needed).
    However, File > Export is always GREYED out (unusable).  And the status at bottom right seems to be looping on "Background Rendering".  DO I WAIT?  In any case, the whole video is showing up as a single continuous stream and what I want are the clips from the camera?! 
    Then I tried Prism (again as per the second forum post mentioned above).  It simply did something to process 30 minutes of video and crashed in the end without explanation - saying there was an error in conversion.
    Is this AVI conversion even a good idea?  How would I get my clips back??
    Bottomline.  My mini-DVD and imported MPGs plays fine in Windows Media Player.  However unable to extract the camera clips (with audio).

    Dawg, I have the Sony DCR-DVD305, and have been using it successfully for quite a while with PE7, with few issues, once I had a workflow nailed down.
    I believe the 505 is basically the same camera, with some additional features.
    This workflow worked for me in the past so I'll pass that along:
    Sony Browser to PC as Mpeg.
    Mpeg to Windows Movie Maker, output to DV-AVI, taking default settings.
    DV-AVI imported into PE7.
    This should also work for PE8.
    Upon getting Cyberlinks PowerDirector v7, my new workflow changed to this:
    I take the min-DVD directly from camcorder to my PC, and capture the disk via Power Director.
    PD will convert the VOB's directly to DV-AVI Type 2 on one pass.
    I then load this DV-AVI into PE7.
    (PD v7 was pre-installed on my new PC from HP, or it can be purchased from Cyberlink).
    Other options to try:
    Copy the VOB's directly from the mini-DVD to your PC and use Prism to convert these to AVI.
    Or load the VOB or Mpeg into PE, then use that to convert to AVI.
    (Export to DV-AVI with PE8 is done with SHARE/PC, not Export under the File Menu, which is greyed out).
    I've had many issues trying to work with Mpeg's and VOB's when loaded directly to PE with limited success.
    So if you can get it converted successfully to AVI outside of PE, I've found this to be a better approach.
    Post results, if any of this works for you...
    Note: One other thing, if you are working directly with VOB's to PE, especially multiple VOB's from a single DVD, you can encounter out-of-sync issues between video and audio. If this occurs, review this link from Muvipix:

  • Deleted clip audio remains

    I had a compound clip in place at mark 4:21 and then deleted it.  Now, with no visual record of the clip, the audio remains and I don't know how to get rid of it.  Anyone have a similar experience?

    See Patrick's suggestion in your other thread.

    Can I use digital to analog optical audio converter?
    My objective is not to use LCD TV internal speakers as it's really bad since the the speakers are on the back. If i use the digital optical cable and plug in to the converter, can all my DVD and other devices connected to the LCD TV play to 1 external audio source instead internal speakers?

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I got a bit more noise but still no coherent sound.
    What next?
