DigiBeta cilps importing without sound
I captured digibeta clips for a TVC at our animators studio in FCP 5 and then brought them on a hard drive to our production house where we're using FCP 4.5. I imported them into a new project using the 10-bit uncompressed codec (downloaded and tried to use the Blackmagic codec, but FCP wouldn't recognize it and it never appeared as an option) with audio set to 16-bit, 48 Khz Stereo. The problem is that instead of 4 tracks of audio, they're only coming in with 1 track, which happens to be blank. When I play the clips in Quicktime, the sound is there. And all four audio tracks were there when I clipped them out at the animators. But when I look at the item properties for these clips the "Audio" "Aud Rate" and "Aud Format" fields are all blank. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Marcel, what happened today was that I managed to get the Decklink codecs into FCP 4.5 by downloading the Decklink software (rather than just the codecs they post for people without a Decklink card). I then started a new project set to BlackMagic PAL 10-bit. I edited that setting and checked anamorphic 16:9. And then imported my digibeta clips. And, voila, same problem. 1 Channel of audio with nothing on it. And a squeezed 4:3 picture. I fixed the picture by checking "Anamorphic" in the Item Properties, but that hasn't given me the true 16:9 picture that we imported. Although it is anamorphic. Couldn't find a 16:9 setting in the Blackmagic codecs that wasn't HD.
So, still no sound and having to deal with a picture that isn't what we shot or what we clipped out at the animators. Any ideas on how to fix either of these issues? And thanks. We're really up against it here in freezing Shanghai.

Import without Sound Check?
How can I import music without Sound Check attaching a volume adjustment to each track? I have "Sound Check" switched off in Preferences>Playback, but it still makes the adjustment when I import.
OR, how do I strip the Sound check values?
Many thanks.Here's my problem exactly:
I have a huge library of music I have imported from CDs. They all have dB adjustments attached to them via Sound Check. (These are not adjustments made by the manual Volume Adjustment slider in the Options preference menu.)
I play all my music through Squeezebox. Squeezebox recognizes volume adjustments in iTunes.
I want to be able to use the manual slider volume adjustment but not the Sound Check volume adjustments. In fact I would like to get rid of all the Sound Check volume adjustments since I find that they badly distort the music.
If I delete music from the Library and re-add or re-import (from computer, not CD), the music still has the Sound Check volume adjustment attached.
Simplest solution would be to have the ability to delete any volume adjustment (aka dB) from songs in the iTunes Library.
I understand how to remove any manual volume adjustments but not those imposed by Sound Check.
Many thanks. -
Dear Adobe Forum,
I have the following problem, please help:
I would like to import avi clips in adobe premiere. All clips have the same avi codec. But unfortunately my adobe premiere does not import the sound of a few
avi clips. It is wired because about 10 out 70 avi clips which have all the same avi codec does not work with sound in premiere CS5. In the timline premiere import the video and audio line but there are no audio waves in the about 10 avi clips. additonally premiere plays the 10 avi clips in the source monitor without sound. Furthermore when I open the 10 avi files without adobe premiere they have sound, but with premiere there are no sound in the 10 avi clips.
What can I do, so that I can import all avi files with sound. I do not want to convert each of the avi files because then they have not a good quality and it is to complicated and it takes to much time to convert all files in this video project and in the other video project in my future.
Consequently How can I import all avi files so that they have immediately sound? Do I have to change some premiere settings?
Thank you in advance

Consequently, as you can see, they have both nearly the same information
Both video clips have the following audio codec:
AAC
In the folder where all raw video clips exist there are a few new files with the codec ending: .AVD ("the name of the file".AVD)
But the 2 video clips mentioned above does not have any files like .AVD oder something else like that. But the first one works and the second one doesnt work. -
After Effects composition is imported into AP without sound
Hi, everyone
I've got a really frustrating problem with AE and AP CS4. Today AE has decided it will no longer render my composition that I spent days building. It's really nothing fancy, but it has lots of .MTS files, as well as some .mp3 ones, and I have just come across a post today saying that I should have converted the .mts before bringing them into AE. The thing is, although it sometimes complained when I was doing some test renders, it would nonetheless give me some stuff. Well, not today - it crashes from the first frames of the comp.
After pulling my hair out, I was hoping I could import the comp into AP and render from there. Up to a point, this works, because it does render and there are no more errors about "after effects error: error (4) reading frame from file (86 :: 2)".
However, my comp does not have any sound... is that meant to be or can Premiere be persuaded to import the sound, too?
Thank you so much for your help in advance because I am literally pulling my hair out...Thanks for this, Todd. I will give the updates a go (EDIT: it turns out I had all the updates...). I will also convert the .mts and keep my fingers crossed that replacing the .mts with the new files is as easy as you suggest.
Still wondering a bit why Premiere would import an AE comp without sound, though... That is seriously odd in my books...
Thanks for the suggestions anyway - at least now I have something to try. -
Imported videofiles in Premiere without sound? Strange update or fault?
Did I miss something "new". Today I found out no matter what I do - if I export a sequence from the timeline and have it imported into the project it only imports the film but without any sound. With some codec I can play the clip as it should be in the windows 7 ultimate explorer but I sometimes also get automatically a HD-file and the sound files as wav as a separte thing. I never had that before. In fact what I want to do is to create a sequence from my timeline and have that as a separat HD-file to use whereever in the project. Especially if the sound is not the original one but added by myself. I have done that before and I would just get my HD-file and could play it in the preview WITH sound. Now all I get is the picture but .... like I said: without sound. That is not normal. So is that a rather useless update or a failure in the programme?
And how can I copy a sequence from a timeline and place it anywhere else on the timeline. Used to be so easy in a previous premiere version. Now copy and paste does not work at all anymore. And whenever I want to add a clip onto a layer, I have to shut all used layers, because otherwise the sound goes anywhere but where it should and might just place itself within another sound-layer.
Used to be all much better and simpler in previous editions.So is that a rather useless update or a failure in the program?
Most likely it's operator error.
Several formats export image and sound separately. This is normal and desired for those formats, like DVD and Blu-ray.
Be sure to know what you're doing with exports, and choose appropriately.
You can copy any clips with the standard CTL+C 'copy' command and paste anywhere else in any sequence with the standard CTL+V 'paste' command. (Be sure to set track targeting first.) -

I am trying to record a video without sound with my iphone 5. I recently downloaded camera plus pro, hoping that it has that feature, but couldnt find it.Can you help me find it or can you let me know if there is another option. Don't want to buy another app though.
Hey,
Camera Plus Pro saves all photos and videos to Quick Roll library, within the app.
Hence, to transfer these photos and videos you will have to initially copy them to iPhone's Camera Roll library.
Follow the steps below to transfer photos to your Mac:
1. Launch Camera Plus Pro app and go to Quick Roll library.
2. Here tap on Sync All button in the bottom bar to copy all items to iPhone's Camera Roll. (See screenshot below)
3. Once done, you can connect your iPhone to Mac and transfer required photos and videos.
4. On your Mac, import the photos using iPhoto or Image Capture app.
Alternatively, you can also use Wi-Fi/FTP transfer method for wirelessly transferring photos to your Mac.
To know about this, download the User Manual for CP Pro here. <http://www.globaldelight.com/iPhone/camerapluspro/cppmanual.zip>
Hope it helps. -
Still play without sound!
I borrowed a friend's Sony videocamera to film a projekt for my thesis.
The videocamera produces MPEG 2 files, which cannot be played correctly on Quicktime (Snow leopard 10.6.8)
To solve this problem I bought apple's mpeg 2 component which promises to solve the problem but it doesn't work.
Mpegv2 videos still play without sound! Have I wasted my money?
Anyone with the same problem? any suggestions?
PS. I've tried all the 'classic' solutions: deleting and re-installing QT, using QT 7, repair permissions, but nothing seems to work!I solved my problem with MPEG Streamclip. Although it dates from 2008, it does the job perfectly and for free :-). I could see the videos before (with sound) with VLC and Toast Video Player, but editing..well that's very tricky to do in Toast (with limited possibilities) and impossible in VLC and my project involves video editing. I have iMovie 09 and tried to import the original mpeg2 files, but it wouldn't recognize them.
To be automatically converted by iMovie, you must import the files directly from the camcoder. Once the files are moved to your hard drive, iMovie uses Finder-level routines to move the files into iMovie rather than the "Importer" module which handles many different QT non-editable camcorder formats. If you manually copied/moved the files to your hard drive, then you must manually convert the non-editable compression formats to editable formats.
The solutions you offer on QT MPEG2 Playback component can prove useful to me in the future, it seems though a bit too complicated and time consuming to go through all these conversions...
The demuxing/re-muxing work flows are very quick since the video is not converted—only re-wrapped. Unfortunately, these work flows are more for viewing the content than for preparing the video for editing. If you plan to do your editing in iMovie, then I would recommend converting the MPEG-2 video to AIC and the audio to Uncompressed. If editing in FCP, then you can convert the content to your preferred "project" compression format. If all you want to do in way of editing is to trim and/or merge files without titles, transitions, and such, then you can do that from within MPEG Streamclip. It also allows you to crop and/or center frame content and includes filters to modify contrast, brightness, saturation, change volume, and/or adding a text watermark if desired. Unfortunately, these routines can only be accessed as part of an export work flow.
I think it could be simpler and I still doubt that buying QT MPEG-2 Playback component was worth it :-(
Lion though seems to have solved this problem...but I am not quite ready to change OS yet..
As previously stated, the simpliest editing approach is to import/manage content directly from the camcorder to iMovie. With regard to the QT MPEG-2 Playback component, if you worked on any MPEG-2 content while testing MPEG Streamclip, then you are already using it. Otherwise you would have received an error message stating you needed to purchase/install the component. With regard to Lion, while QT X can play "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 content in MPEG or MPG containers, it does not support the VOB file container. Further it does not support resource paired M2V/AIFF or M2V/AC3 non-paired elementary streams like QT 7 with the MPEG-2 component does. In short, while QT X.1 solves some MPEG-2 playback problems, it still can't do some things that the QT 7 Player can do and neither can edit GOP content natively as MPEG Streamclip can. -
Openshot and kdenlive render without sound
Hi
It has been a long time [a few months] since I have not used Kdenlive.
When I rendered a movie with a mp3 sound track [ songs especially ] I got the film with this sound track.
Now are occuring 2 things:
The final movie is without sound [during the edit, there is no problem, I can hear the track, move it where I want, putting effects on it without any problem],
the time counter is wrong, it does not show the video time correctly, I mean the time counter will be stuck at 0 second, then will jump to 6 seconds and son on for example.
These things happened in OpenShot too, actually I tried OpenShot editing my new clip and I found these issues. I thought it was specific to OpenShot and I remade my clip with Kdenlive.
Any clue?
Thx in advance

I have my iTunes music folder stored on an external hard drive. I recently purchases a new Mac. After attaching the external hard drive, all songs imported without a problem except my playlists. Any clue about where they are or how to revive them for use on my new Mac?
Thanks!Rysz wrote:
To retain your playlists, artwork, play counts, etc, you need to move the entire iTunes folder, not just the music files..
Correct.
After that just select the new folder location in iTunes> Advanced settings.
Incorrect.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder.
This will read the iTunes library.itl file in this folder and the library as it was previously will be opened. -
New Problem - video loads, plays a bit, pauses, then plays without sound.
On the first time that I used the TV-Out feature of the iPod, videos that normally were playing properly started to lag. The video would play about 15 seconds, then stop playing for a few seconds, then start again, but without sound. I just thought it might be because of the TV-Out feature, but after that incident, a large amount of my videos have been doing this, without using the TV-Out.
My first use of the tv-out feature was around the time that I first updated the iPod firmware. I now realise that I have no need of the updated firmware, so would be willing to restore the iPod to factory settings, but would rather get some opinions first.
Although these videos had played normally before, now they (and most all videos I have added since), do this when playing:
Load up normally, play normally for about 15 seconds, pause and do nothing, then continue playing but without sound. If I use the clickwheel to skip ahead after it pauses, it will play normally for another 5 seconds or so and then pause and cut the sound again.
I had not experienced anything like this before that first time I used the TV-out capability. Nor had I experienced it before updating the iPod. Now, many, but not all of my videos are doing this.
Oh, it seems only the videos longer than 10 minutes are doing this... all the others work... some more testing would be needed to be certain. Video podcasts are playing fine. So... anyone else had this happen?This problem seems to occur for the 60GB models that are using the new firmware 1.1. It has been posted all over google and the only fix to this problem is to downgrade to 1.0. The problem is reported as not to affect the 30GB models but there are a few videos on my ipod (30GB) that suffer from this as well. I haven't downgraded by 30GB one to check if it fixes it, but I can assure you that it will fix the problem for the 60GB one (I used to have that one before).

When downloading from a Sony minidisc video camera, the picture is downloading but without sound. Previously, it had downloaded successfully both sound and picture. I have subsequently upgraded to Lion X (10.7.4). Is there some problem with the upgrade which is affecting the transfer? Is there a way of resolving this?
When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway. -

I am not sure if it is a iTunes, AppleTv, Airplay or Time Capsule issue – or a combination of them all.
But i am experiencing alittle annoying issue, which i hope to fix.
I am playing music from iTunes 11.0.5 and i Airplay it to my AppleTv it plays with sounds and all as it sould. But often we it continues to the next track, I can see it plays because the playcounter is running and it Scrobbles to Last.fm – but there is no sound. I then have to pause and press play, or skip back to beginning of the track. Otherwise it can continue to play the rest of the album, just without sound.
I think it might have something to do with all the media files are stored on my Time Capsule, but the iTunes folder containing the .itdb and .itl are still on my local HD. It is as if it doesn't load the files properly. But i don't have any issues with movies files.
Is it a iTunes Time Capsule issue? And if so, any fixes? I tried updating to latest firmware, but it didn't resolve the issue.
Or could the problem be soemthing else?
I do have a pretty fast internet connection both in upload and download.
MacBook Pro 10.8.4
iTunes 11.0.5
AppleTv 2.gen (lastest OS)
Time Capsule 4. gen. (7.6.4)Try using this application to convert the videos, or the instructions in this article.

Is there anyway to mark a photo in the camera roll as imported without importing
Is there anyway to mark a photo as imported without actuall importing the photo? Some of the wallpaper apps on the iPad copy the image to the camera roll so you can make the image your background. I don't want to delete the image as I may use it later. Everytime I connect my iPad to my mac it launches iPhoto and wants to import the camera roll.
Another option would be to move items to another photo album and delete them from the camera roll bit I haven't figured out how to do that either.
Any suggestions would be great.No - to have it imported you have to import it
why not import it and then delete it in iPhoto or ignore it
