Distorted AIF audio, WAV fine

I've always used AIF sound files in FCP and FCE with no trouble, but on the current project (in FCE 2.0.3), AIF files are blaring, overmodulated and distorted; they sound fine when opened in QT. I haven't changed any settings in FCE (that I know of). However, WAV files (which I've never used in FCE before) sound fine in FCE.
Is there some setting I'm not aware of that I need to attend to?

+I have various quicktime files on the pc that played fine but are now unable to be viewed. I have downloaded again, they play fine... but now a few days later... audio, but no video at all... not "scrambled", just video "noise", really.+
"Green" gets me thinking about issues with DirectX on the PC.
Have you tried the "Disable Direct3D acceleration in QuickTime" section from the following document? (iTunes uses QuickTime for video playback, so the same basic troubleshooting procedures apply.)

URGENT! Audio Output on Administrator A/C is distorted, Guest A/C fine?!

Hey All
My sound just went all strange; very bass-y in iTunes/Logic & the DVD i am watching
Yet sound from a Youtube video/net audio is fine
when i log into my Guest account the problem is gone...so what can i do in my main account settings to fix this?
Any suggestions welcome

View>Video Playback>Apple firewire
View>External Video>All Frames
View>Audio Playback>Audio follows video.
also, make sure your audio material is 16bit/48khz.
If all this is as it should be, have you changed/updated QT? FCP? OSX?
good luck,

Can i create AIF or WAV files larger then 4 gig?

Can i create AIF or WAV files larger then 4 gig? It seems like I have been doing that all along, but suddenly FCPX and Compressor 4 will not allow me to create and AIF file bigger then 4gig. It claims that the file format does not support sizes above 4

Hi...
per def. WAV 32bit does not support larger files than 4GB (sometimes 2GB).
You can use the BroadCast WAV format. Which will enable that.
However, if the destination format (Your final movie you wanna export to in Compressor and Fcpx) is WAV and not broadcast WAV it wont work due to the 4GB limit.
Aiff is limited as well.
Here are a few sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_Wave_Format

PS --- WHy do you need more than 6 hours of uncomressed 16 Bit audio for a movie ???

Elements 11 will not properly import from hard drive video of 352 x 480. Audio is fine.

Hello All, I'm wanting to import VHS video that was burned to a DVD. Frame size is 352 x 480. Elements shows it, even after rendering, as very distorted video on the monitor panel. Audio is fine. Anybody here have an idea how to conform my video to the Project?

Thank you for the reply.
(Note: It would be better also to know...frame rate and progressive or interlaced video...NTSC or PAL setup...but for now....with some assumptions...
Although I have never run into a DVD-VIDEO video file with the 352 x 480 (4:3) resolution, it does exist apparently.
DVD-Video - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From my perspective, if your client's goal is DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc for this source, I do not see that Premiere Elements (any version)
is going to produce a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc with video files 352 x 480 (4:3). It will give you (NTSC) 720 x 480 4:3 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second
or (PAL) 720 x 576 4:3 @ 25 interlaced frames per second.
If your client can settle for your 352 x 480 (4:3) source exported to a file saved to the computer hard drive, then Premiere Elements 11 can give you a MPEG2.mpg
file with a 352 x 480 4:3 resolution.
But, assuming the NTSC DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc workflow....with Frame Width = 480 pixels and Frame Height = 352 pixels...But if this is really portrait rather than
landscape oriented video, then we have other considerations not mentioned below....and I suspect we may be going in that direction...the answers will be in the details...
1. Open Premiere Elements 11 to the Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
2. In Change Setting, select
NTSC
FLIP
Flip Mino and Ultra 29_97p
OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that next appears,
make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Settings on This Project. OK out of there.
3. Back in the Expert workspace, import your VTS_02_1.VOB using the project's Add Media/Files and Folders to get
the file into Projects Assets from where it is dragged to the Timeline.
(Typically the DVD-VIDEO's video files start with VTS_01_1.VOB, but not always. This may be one of those not always times. Just
check that your video is represented in those video files (VTS_).
4. Edit, Add Menu if you want.
5. Publish+Share/Disc/DVC disc with preset NTSC_Dolby DVD for the NTSC DVD-VIDEO Standard 4:3 on DVD disc
@ 29.97 interlaced frames per second.
6. Moment of truth...what does that look like on your TV's DVD player.
Please review and consider and then we can fine tune if my assumptions did not meet your actual details.
Thanks.

Need help with audio wav file in multicam clip

I created a multicam clip with 3 cameras with crappy, far away, room audio and 1 stereo audio wav file with 2 lavaliere mics of "good Audio" 1 lav left & 1 lav right. on one channel there is a lot of distortion from shirt ruffle etc.... but only at times. I would like to ride the mix and use sections of "good" audio and get rid of sections of "Bad" audio from the one channel. but, I cant figure it out. anyone??? I'm hoping Apple updates this issue soon with great audio support with "simultaneos multicam audio switching!!!" Please, Please Apple...

You can do what you need right now, no need for Apple to do anything, they've already don it. Check this out.

Audio Edit~Pitch or Transposition for the Audio Wave

Hi Expert,
I'm trying to Transpose or Pitch correcting for my whole Audio Wave (Pitch Machine)...but when processing is in progress...suddenly prompt out an error...unexpected quite for Logic Express....
anyone can give me a hand???
or does any other way to do the Pitch correction or Transposition????
Ray

Well, you just use cents for finer control than a semitone. One example would be putting it on a track (voice, for example) and then if the singer was flat, push the cents up. Between semitones and cents you have 1200 degrees of pitch shifting available per octave.
Well, I can't tell you. In pro it is called pitch correction.. I think in LE you do but it is a lite version. In Pro it is in the Special Category when selecting inserts.
Enhance Pitch is I think what it is in LE.
If you want to control the paramaters over time, see Automation. You can then draw or record pitch shifting (or virtually any plugin paramater) and Logic will remember the movements and play them back, Automatically.
You can use the sample editor for file based (destructive) pitch shifting. Select the region/area you want shifted and then go to Factory>Time and Pitch Machine and apply.
Cheers,

Video does not work when I connect my Macbook to a TV using a thunderbolt to HDMI converter. Audio works fine.

I've been trying to connect my macbook to an Insignia TV. The macbook recognizes the TV is connected and changes the display ratio accordingly, but it does so in a jittery way before landing on 1080i after some time.
The audio works fine on the TV from the mac, but it's not picking up any video. When I go to System Preferences>Displays, I get two windows: one for the built-in display, one for the TV. I think this is why I'm not getting any video, but I don't know how to make it just so that the display is for the TV. The displays are mirrored, but I'm still not getting anything. Please help!

Go into System Preferences, then Displays. There should be an option to click on the tv mirroring. Click it and see if it connects to the TV.

Yes there is.
Go to the iTunes Store on your computer. Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side. Click the "All" tab on top. The song is there. Re-download it.

Audio is fine in iMovie, but when exported its not?

I'm using iMovie 09.
All the clips I've put in I've detatched the audio from and then deleted. I've put my own audio track over the top of everything. The audio is fine throughout when I'm watching in iMovie, but when I export, in about the last 5 clips I can hear the audio track of the individual clips which was supposed to be deleted on top of my audio track.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?

After a bit of research I've found that this problem seems to be a bug with iMovie 09 when you change the speed of clips to something other then the default options (e.g 108%).
I ended up getting around it by creating a new project, putting just the clip with the speed changed into it and exporting that. Then converted the exported file to a different format, then imported it back into iMovie and put it back into my original piece. This way the speed was at 100%
Seems to have worked
Hopefuly this will save someone else a bit of headache.

simply drag and drop the files into the GB timeline

View audio wave form in A1 and A2 etc in the timeline instead of the Viewer

It's likely this is an amateur question buuut -
Is there anyway to get the audio wave form to show in the Audio layers in the timeline. The only way I've seen to adjust and play with audio is when I double click on one of the tracks and then the audio tab in the viewer will open. I want to be able to see waveform in the timeline and then add or remove markers and adjust from the timeline -
There's got to be some way to adjust audio and play and stop so that you can watch the video and hear audio changes as you tweak it at the same time.

When watching video the video will slowdown while the audio is fine.

When I'm watching a video the video portion will slow down several times while the audio is fine. I usually have to pause the video until it catches up to the audio to continue to watch it. I ran task manager in Win XP and noticed that when this problem occurs, Firefox is running at 98-100% of CPU usage. What might be causing this issue and how can I resolve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1. Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1. Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

Audio wave form in the viewer looks wrong

hello everyone
i taped a live jazz event and i had two xlr cables running from one camera to the board
i now digitized and i am opening this clip in the viewer but it doesnt look like a normal
audio wave. peaks are showing from top and bottom. Maybee because it is 2 channels
i am trying to find a sync reference in the audio waveform of the 3 camera angles i have,
But i dont know why i do not see a normal curve. In the viewer i have Mono (a1) and Mono(a2)
both are not giving me a regular waveform
any suggestions?
thanks
Danny

yes i think it is overmodulated
levels were not set correctly
the camera was close to the stage and to the speakers
so the audio levels were not set correctly
i think my only option is to sync the 3 angles visually
Danny
