Disc Menu theme and duration of audio file

Hi,
I've downloaded the Disc Menu Theme "Christmas" into my Premiere Elements 12 project.
In this menu I want a song to play in the background, so I imported the song into the Audio part of Menu Background adjustments.
However, the duration is not possible to adjust. It's "stuck" on 13 seconds.
Is this duration set by the menu theme or is it possible to adjust it in any other way?

This is not a problem specific to Premiere Elements 12 and all menus.
The problem that you have is related to how the Christmas background in the main menu .psd file was created. Its creation is based on a video file with the duration of 13.4 seconds, not a still image.
Your answer could be to replace the original video being used with one that has a duration of 29.29 seconds or to take the original video and extend its duration from 13.4 seconds to 29.29 seconds.
Your target is the christmas_w_mm_bg.mpg or christmas_hd_mm.bg.mpg file in the Christmas Folder in the route

The file duration can be altered in Premiere Elements and exported as Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG PAL whether you are NTSC or PAL based.
More details later today if you are interested.
This is an easy one to fix.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues.

Way to edit and save .AC3 audio files?

Anyone know if there is a way to edit and save .AC3 audio files in Audition 3?

Every time you open any coded file at all in Audition, you lose quality if you resave it in anything other than an uncompressed format. With most formats, what is even worse is saving them in a different compressed format, because you end up with twice as many different coding artefacts.
What you need to understand is that all of these formats are distribution formats, not editing ones. The basic principle is that you work in an uncompressed format until the last possible moment - ie, distribution. And that, ideally, is the only time you use a compressed format at all. So if you want to use something that's compressed, you uncompress it once, and don't recompress until you absolutely have to.

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

Problem using text boxes as the "image" to drag and drop over audio file

I have been adding audio files to my page in iWeb (previous version, not '08), but I am having a problem giving them titles.
When you first drag a file from iTunes into iWeb, it provides a space for you to drag and drop a picture. The online iWeb guide also says that you can drag a text box there instead of a picture.
I created a text box with the text I would like to drop over the controller. However, it is no longer allowing me to drop the text box there. I used to be able to do this, and I don't know what I'm doing differently now. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

foobar2000 with the ipod plugin will allow you to drag/drop FLAC files and when it syncs the ipod, it converts the FLAC files on the fly. MUCH better than dealing with the crappy iTunes interface and having to pre-convert the files. I absolutely loathe iTunes and it just gets worse and worse!

Get durations of audio files

I'm new to AppleScript so I'm not sure where to begin with code.
I have a bunch of audio files in a folder that I need to get the durations of. I'd prefer to not have to import all the files into iTunes.
Ideally I'd like the filename and its respective duration to be output to a default spreadsheet (I have Excel) listing the filename in one column and the duration in the other. If not, just having the filename and the duration on the same line in a text file would be workable too.
The duration would need to have the format of X:XX.

I wrote this code example some time ago. Maby this could help
set aFile to choose file
tell application "Finder" to set filename to name of aFile
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " = "
set duration to text item 2 of (do shell script "mdls -name kMDItemDurationSeconds " & quoted form of (POSIX path of aFile))
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
set total_seconds to text item 1 of duration
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set showsec to (total_seconds as integer) mod 60
set showmin to (total_seconds as integer) div 60
display dialog filename & return & return & "Duration:" & return & showmin & " min " & showsec & " sec"
It uses the spotlight-index to read track-information via mdls (lists the metadata attributes for the specified file), so this would only work on volumes spotlight has indexed.

Want to Tranmit and Receive an Audio file separately. Need Help??

Basically i m implementing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and data to process is an audio (wav) file. All i want is to transmit and receive audio file with separate transmitter and reciever. Both transmitter and receiver are working in combination (i.e in single VI) but when i separated them, transmitter is giving no response. Please tell what should i do?

Hi Zaib
It seams that you want to receive a lot, but you are not very interesting in transmitting something Before you post some code, we can not help you. This forum will probably offer you some advices. But you will never receive a "turn key" ready application.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Opening new window when performing cut, paste and delete on Audio Files

This is 100% reproducible:
When performing one of the following actions when editing audio files (not multitrack projects), it will open a new window with the same file:
- Cut
- Delete
- Paste
This happens on new files as well as opened files.
The new window looks like this:
This did not happen in SP2. Can anyone else confirm?
Message was edited by: Erik K Veland

Hi,
Really??!! This solved it for you, your window no longer pops up when you perform an action?
Did you move the layouts to another location and then SP3 created new layout files in that default location or did you set a preference for another location? Or did you just rename the existing layout?
I am probably making this solution more complicated than it is, but those are my questions.
Thank you, Ken

IWeb and MP3 or audio files

Just got a Mac and looking at the information for iWeb, it talks about text and video, but nothing about audio files, like MP3.
I assume I can upload MP3 files (my own) using iWeb, but just wanted to confirm that before I purchased it. I have my own web page now and would like to redo it with iWeb, but obviously I want to include my original MP3 files in the web page for others to hear and download.
Thanks
Rockhound

iWeb writes page code that will play your MP3 files using the QuickTime browser plug-in.
If you need to use another plug-in or player you'll need to use the special "snippet" code feature.

My Spotlight is not working. I get the message that my start up disc is full and to start deleting files. What kind of files?

I am getting a pop up message that my start up disc is full and my spotlight is not working. The message tells me that I need to delete files. My question is what files do I need to delete? And why is my Spotlight not working?

Importing and Listening to Audio Files

How can I import and listen to the sound clips that my DSLR records?
My Canon 1Ds Mk3 can record sound files in the WAV format. This is a very useful way to record audio notes in the field.
Please explain how I can:
1. Import the sound files when I import my RAW files into my LR Catalog.
2. Play back these Audio files from within LR.
Thanks!

Ian,
Even though you say: "Works fine on Mac" it was not working fine on my Mac.
So I did more experimentation.
Here is what I learned:
1. If you convert the RAW file to DNG on import into LR the link to the audio file is lost.
2. If you import the RAW file in it's native format (such as CR2) then when you rename it, the link to the WAV audio file is maintained.
3. When you convert the native RAW file to DNG after importing it into LR, it is very important that in the "Convert Photo to DNG" dialog box that you NOT select the check box that says "Delete originals after successful conversion", if you do, the WAV file is deleted.
Take home lessons:
If you want to use audio annotation and use DNG files in LR, remember:
1. Don't convert to DNG on import.
2. When you convert the RAW file to DNG make sure NOT to check "Delete originals after successful conversion"
These strike me as software bugs and I hope that they will be fixed on the next upgrade.

Protected and Purchased ACC audio files

I have been upgrading to iTunes plus on alot my songs in itunes and now I have the same song twice in my libary, 1 as a Protected ACC audio file and 1 as a Purchased ACC audio file. Can I get rid of the protected file or do I have to keep both of the files

+"Can I get rid of the protected file"+
Of course. Why would you keep a crappy version around when you have a good version of the same song?

Can I put both an FCP video file and an ac3 audio file through Compressor t

Hi we are making digital movies of comedy performances on HDV, editing them multiclip on FCP, and successfully putting them through Compressor 3.5 to export as an MPEG2 program stream at 25mbits. These files are then shown in digital cinemas throughout South Africa. For our latest project we recorded with multiple mics and had a sound engineer make all the audio into a 5.1 surround ac3 file, which he used Nuendo for. I thought it would be great to combine the video and audio in FCP but Creative Cow herd deluxe Tom Wolsky told me FCP doesnt support ac3, so the thought is to put the FCP .mov file and the ac3 file into Compressor separately, and have Compressor make an MPEG2 file with audio in ac3. But when I try this I get either the audio or the video in preview, not both together. I would be so grateful for advice, the machine I am making the FCP file on is a 4x2.5ghz powerpc G5 using FCP 6.0.6 on OS 10.4.11. Compressor is being used on a2.66ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running OS 10.6.1 and using Compressor 3.5 with FCP 7.0.
Or should I use an old Logic Pro 7.0 program to fuse the video and audiuo together, and if so, how will Compressor still give me the video and audio output codecs I want?

I may not be comprehending this fully, but you can encode audio and video separately in compressor, and then combine them in Quicktime player. In Snow Leopard, you need to use Quicktime Player 7 to do this since the new Quicktime Player X has no "Pro" features yet.
"Add to Movie" is the menu item. I forget the method to bring in the audio so it plays under the video, but it will be in perfect sync.
You then save this new file.
BTW, I would use the G5 for the compressing because 3.0.5 gives better outputs than 3.5 at this point.

How do I stream purchased movies to my Macbook Pro if I've already downloaded them and moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive and I'm away from home?

I recently added a number of movies to my iTunes library by redeeming digital copeis that came with Blu-rays. Due to limted disc space on my MacBook Pro, and for safe keeping, once I downloaded the movies, I moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive. When I'm home and I'm able to access that external HD via my home network, I'm able to watch the movies without an issue. However, if I'm away from home and I want to watch them, I'm not sure how to do that. I thought I could "stream" purchased movies from within iTunes - even after downloading them - using "iTunes in the Cloud" but can't figure out how to do that, or it simply isn't possible.
What are my options?

I understand that I can't play my downloaded movies when my external HDD is not connected becuase iTunes is looking for the downloaded files. This is not the issue. The issue is that because my HDD is not connected (as in when I'm away from home) I'd like to be able to stream the movies via the cloud.
If I hadn't downloaded the movies when I redeemed my codes, would I have been able to keep the movies online via Apple iCloud and watched them anytime by streaming them or must the movies be downloaded in order to be viewed on my MacBook? I read that Apple allows movies purchased (or redeemed) via iTunes to be stored in the cloud via Apple iCloud so that they can be viewed any time, on any device. IF this is the case, how does it work? From what I can see, it looks like movies can only be "streamed" from the cloud when useing Apple TV; on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, it looks like they need to be downloaded in order to be viewed.
Can someone clarify this for me?
Also - Michael - when you said that If I've already downloaded the film but I'm away from my external HDD I should "Delete the entry from the iTunes library so iTunes only sees the iTunes in the Cloud version", what exactly would this mean? Would this mean that I could then stream the movie from the cloud or would I have to re-download it to my Mac's internal HDD in order to watch it?
Many thanks!
