During FaceTime audio oftened clipped and even went mute

During FaceTime audio oftened clipped and even went mute.  Any hints to stabilize the audio?

if any of the people have an internet connection which is not up for it in terms of speed that could happen
one can try to make an audio only facetime session which should work ok if it's a bandwidth issue

    Or am I missing the bigger picture?

    As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

  • How to sync external audio to clips and KEEP them linked?

    I have never been able to do this. Very simple...
    1. Shoot some video with a DSLR and...
    2. Record audio with external recorder, such as an H4N.
    3. Sync then in Premiere Pro (I have CS5)
    4. Keep those files associated with each other so that you do not have to keep them in your timeline at all times.
    Unfortunately, this is a mystery to me. I'm always stuck with everything in my timeline or I will lose those now linked files.
    Below is a video I shot of my computer screen and Premiere Pro so I can explain it visually.
    Yes, there is likely an easy solution. But I haven't found it. Please note that I have CS5, no plans to upgrade and no money to do so.
    Thank you. 

    Provided that you are happy to lose the synch with the original audio of the clip, this can be done.
    Right click on the original clip and select Unlink from the drop down menu.
    Highlight the video and the new audio by clicking on both whilst holding down Shift, and R click.  Select Link in the drop-down menu.
    If you want synch for both audio clips, then the only work-around that I have found is to duplicate the original video clip in a track which is turned off, so it does not show, and link the new audio to that.

  • My computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings and even went to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple

    my computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings, all of their diagnostics, and they even sent it to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple, especially iPhoto which is seems to refuse to load and then begins freezing up all over again. Anyone else have this problem. Other than this, I have had absolutely no problems with this computer. Now, it's a file of junk.

    Hi Ronald ...
    Have you checked lately to see how much free space there is on the disk? Especially since iPhoto freezes at launch ...
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    And make sure the OS X software is up to date.
    Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
    From the drop down menu click:   Software Update
    If you have anti virus software installed or are using third party Mac cleaning utiliites, that may be part and parcel of the your problems.

  • Why can't i open pop up's i asked firefox to allow the popup and even went in and turned off pop up blocker but it still fails to let me see what i'm going for

    i need to see an item in the walker exhaust website . and when i click on the picture to have it go larger i get the drop down across the top that said popup blocked. i went in and asked for the popup and nothing. i then went in and turned it off and closed the option page and tried again and nothing still will not allow it. i have had this problem before and getting tired of it. i almost would rather close the popup's than to not get the ones i need to see.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * 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 the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Static in entire video after detaching audio from clips

    After exporting, I was having some audio/video sync issues with my 1 hour and 38 min movie.
    It was suggested that I detach the audio from the clips...so I tried it on my 6 minute preview with good success.  I exported the preview and the sync problem was fixed.
    So I started detaching the audio to fix the regular 1h 38m movie.  I got through most of the clips and then went back to play a certain section of the movie...and I noticed that now there is a bunch of static in the entire movie.
    How do I get rid of the static?
    This also has seemed to really slow the project down.  Anything I try to do on the project and iMovie just tanks.

    Thanks for your reply Geoff,
    I basically have a soundtrack 3.28 minutes long which I want to be the only noise thats playing throughout my interchanging video clips, so I would like to completley move the audio from the all of the indivdual video clips that I am adding in, I thought the 'detatch audio' button would be the one for this, but as I continuously play back bits of the movie to prefect editing I can still slightly hear the sound from the individual videos that I am adding?
    So frustrating, but Im sure thats its something real basic that I am missing.....

  • Logic x quits often and even simple tasks cause it to freeze. Runs very slow. unuseable so far. Any one else?

    I guess there must be more users with the same problems I have experienced with Logic X.
    The program freezes even performing simple tasks such as dragging a loop into an audio track. This causes the cursor not to respond to return key reset to head for over a minute. Opening a new project freezes the file header and takes over 2 minutes to respond. Even on unrelated windows moving the mouse around causes logic tags such as 'track number' to appear in the midst of text. Extremely odd. I would certainly appreciate any remedies from the community.
    Cheers

    Dilksy, (and Joe for that matter..)
    You should check other things on your system as such issues have been found to typically be related to;
    Other apps running in the background, corrupted Spotlight indexes, lack of System Drive space (you should keep at least 30% free system drive space at all times), issues with OS X installations... badly written or incompatible Audio/midi drivers.. old plugin issues.. use of poorly cracked plugins/libraries.. hardware problems.. disk errors...and so on...
    I can say I have been running LPX with 10.9 for the last 3 weeks during a very busy period at the studio and not had a single crash or spinning wheel or 'showstopping issue' of any kind... so the kind of issue you are seeing is not typical...
    If you want to get your problems fixed, you need to do some intensive troubleshooting yourself.. Try to find what is causing the issue.. is there any pattern to it? What do your crash logs tell you? What does the general system logs in console tell you? If you just use Logic's own plugins and nothing 3rd party, does the issue continue? have you checked for updated Audio/Midi drivers and have you installed them? Have you updated your plugins? Have you done a full disk/permissions check recently? What does OS X's activity montior show when things slow down?
    Its very easy to blame LPX for any issues you may have but more often than not it is found not to be a LPX issue at all... Just read through the various threads here with people having crashes etc.. and you will see what i mean...

  • How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

    Hi guys,
    First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
    1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
          but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
    2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
          recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
    This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
    So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
    Please help, all of you experts.

    Thank you.
    OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
    My process is this:
    1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
    2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
    3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
    4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
    5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
    6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
    7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
    8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
    9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
    10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
    11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
    12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
         The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
    13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
    14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
    I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
    I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)

    basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

  • I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and timeline in FCP7. How do I fix?

    I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and the timeline in FCP7. Footage isn't corrupt. Apple techs said its not hardware after their tests at the Apple store. I did a full reinstall of FCS. There's 4GB of RAM free at all times during playback. The problem is still there... How do I fix this?
    Strobing:
    By strobing, I mean there's only about 1 ever 10 frames playing back for me. Everything is rendered and the comp settings match the clip settings. It's not constant though, but the strobing is triggered at certain points on the timeline and effect a few clips after that (10 seconds or so at a time), and then when the next clip is displayed on the timeline the strobbing stopps and is reset back to normal playback... until another random clip is encountered by the playback head to which then the process repeats. Also, when strobbing is happening and I move the playhead back a few seconds, or pause & play, or even forward a little on the same strobbing clip (basically when i inturrupt the playback process) the strobbing STOPS! I can watch the same footage that was strobing without it strobing any longer until I move back the playhead far enough and try again, then the strobing is triggered again. I hope this all makes sense, it's very picular and I've seen or heard of nothing like it in my 4 years of editing in FCP7.

    SStrange my enough the problem started occurring a few hours into the project. The only thing I can think of is that I shot with all Canon 5D mark iii footage when I usually shot with a mark ii. My workflow hasn't changed and I have never had this problem. I've also used other mark iii footage in the past without a problem but I don think I've edited entirely with mark iii footage

  • Merged clips and modified audio channels bug/issue

    My problem is that if I create a merged clip and modify it's audio channels Premiere (both CC and CC2014) does not respect the modification under specific circumstances. These circumstances are: if I use keyboard shortcuts or the source window buttons for overwrite/insert to cut the merged clip into a timeline. However, if I drag & drop the clip from the source window or from a bin into the timeline Premiere will respect the audio channels set through modify audio channels.
    Here are steps needed to create my problem. You will need a video clip and an audio clip with at least two channels to reproduce this.
    1. Create a merged clip from the video and audio. Does not matter if you have "Remove audio from AV clip" enabled or not.
    2. Right click on the merged clip in the bin and select Modify -> Audio Channels.
    3. Set the merged clip's audio channels to Number of Audio Tracks: 1, Channel Format: Mono. Set the source channel for Audio 1 to anything except Channel 1. Click OK.
    4. Make sure you have the merged clip open in the source monitor. Use keyboard shortcuts (. or ,) or the insert/overwrite buttons in the source monitor to cut the clip into a sequence.
    5. The merged clip in the sequence will use channel 1 for audio, even though it has been set to use another channel.
    6. Now try drag & dropping the merged clip from either the source monitor or from a bin into the sequence. It will now use the audio channel that has been set through modify audio channels.
    My workaround is to use drag & drop for now for affected clips, but in the long run this is a pain in the backside.
    My question is if this is something that affects other users as well. And while I'm waiting for a fix, if anyone has any suggestions on how to get modified audio channels to work properly, I will gladly listen.
    I have filed a bug report for this. I have reproduced this on multiple Windows 7 machines with Premiere Pro CC and on two Macs with both CC and CC 2014.
    EDIT to add: I have been in discussion with Rameez from Adobe about this through the support chat and have been told that this is working as intended. He suggested I post a thread about it to see how other editors feel about the functionality. I personally feel that the way it works now makes no sense at all. If others feel the same way, maybe this issue can be fixed in a future update. So please make your voice heard.
    EDIT to add: In most usage this might not be an issue at all. But if for example you have external audio on multiple channels and to make sure you have a clean timeline, you wish to remove extra tracks from your merged clips and those extra tracks happen to be any track before the last one(s), you will find that editing the merged clip in in any other way than drag & dropping it in the sequence will result in you losing those last tracks instead of any tracks in the middle that you have disable through modify audio channels. I would think that the audio channel modifications should work no matter what way you cut the merged clip in.

    Going to try, but here is my workflow and have not encountered any problems until this last P/U days footage.  I've been doing things this way because I found having all files in the project was causing it to crash constantly when I was working.  I have a new I7' processor IMac with 24 gigs of RAM.  And since Premiere does not allow you to have multiple projects open at the same time (Wish this would change.  Avid and FCP both allowed multiple projects) I have to do things this way.
    Pre-workflow Project File
    Label all Video and Audio files to match Scene #'/Takes
    Set in points on all video and audio to reflect slate
    Merge Clips
    Working Project File
    Import only Merged Clips into Project.  Either via import or copy/paste
    Now I've done this workflow from just about the very beginning.  Deleting all of the original source video and all audio clips from my working project so only my bins containing my merged clips remain.  Have had no problems and edit has been smooth.  Did a pickup day last week, followed same steps as I've done in the past, imported the merged clips into my working project and the clips have the audio set to none by default.  Now once I go into the sequence I can manually set it and it's there but I cannot play audio in the source monitor which is how I edit, there's no reason I should have to go back to the crappy FCP way of editing doing the copy and paste from a sequence.

  • 4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

    4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

    Let me try again, Chenks. I'm a technical person by profession, and so can get deeper into things like this, but I have not attempted to use these methods of communication in the past. I'm trying to get some feedback to Apple on their worsening a product and really messing with existing customer configurations. I'll try to break things up below.
    1. Configuration:
    Existing Apple TV and Mac Mini configuration in place since December 2010.
    Three Apple TVs, one in Family Room for music and movies, one in Master Bedroom for music and movies, the third one in the Living Room for music only.
    I'm using iTunes as library. (Probably an obvious statement, but wanted to mention that.)
    2. Pre 4.2.1
    No problems at any location since configuration finalized and all equipment installed in December.
    Since December, Family Room entertainment equipment was updraded to a new Sony Bravia 3D, and a new Pioneer receiver. The Master Bedroom still has the original Toshiba 32HLC56 TV. That unit has only one HDMI input. I'm using the built-in speakers. This TV/Monitor is about fives years old.
    3. Problem
    I updated the software in two of the Apple TVs to 4.2.1. I updated the Family Room device and the Master Bedroom device. I had not updated the Living Room device.
    After updating to 4.2.1, the Family Room equipment works fine. That's the location with the newer TV and receiver.
    The Master Bedroom has different problems with different movies: e.g. "The Little Mermaid:" video, no audio. "The Lion King:" movie wont start at all.
    Additionally, in the Master Bedroom some movies work fine, other movies start but immediately go into pause mode. Pressing pause button on Apple remote will not initiate start of movie, screen does "flicker" for a moment but movie does not start to play, showing only the last frame that had been streamed.
    4. Not really a problem for me.
    Fortunately for me, I had not updated the Apple TV in the living room so I used it to troubleshoot the problem. Initially I thought it was a defective Apple TV in the Master Bedroom. I took the unit to the Apple Store in town and they exchanged it for me. I brought the replacement Apple TV home but I did not install it immediately.
    While testing the Master Bedroom set up once again to make it was working for our afternoon movie watching, I was again reminded that a software update was available. That message came up because it was the unit I had brought over from the Living Room. I proceeded to update the Apple TV to the new software version (4.2.1).
    As soon as I "updated" the software in the Apple TV to the new 4.2.1, the same problems manifested themselves. At that point I suspected that the problem was with 4.2.1, and not with the hardware.
    I called Apple Support and went through a series of troubleshooting techniques. We tested the Apple TV with the new 4.2.1 installed in it. This is the unit which originially in the Living Room. Under the direction of the Apple TV support technician, I used the Family Room gear and the Master Bedroom gear to try and isolate the problem to hardware or software.
    We eliminated the following as potential problems:
    a. TV speakers in the Master Bedroom
    b. HDMI cable
    c. Ethernet connection
    5: Conclusion:
    Fortunately for me, again, the Apple TV that the Apple Store had given me that morning still had 4.1.1. So I installed that unit in the Master Bedroom and everything started working normal again.
    6. Side note:
    An interesting observation: In early March I copied several movies from the Mac Mini to my iPad and some to my wife's iPad. All movies worked fine on our flight out and while we were away.
    My wife recently (about a week ago) updated the software in her iPad. and now some of the movies that played just fine on her iPad are exhibiting the same problems as the Master Bedroom TV when it is connected to an Apple TV with software 4.2.1.
    Apple has been trying to fix some problems in 4.2 when it released 4.2.1. I make that observation based on recent articles I found on the web. Most likely the Apple engineers were trying to fix things in one place and broke them in another.
    Clear as mud, isn't it?
    7. In closing:
    I'm good to go, I just need to remember not to update the software in the Master Bedroom Apple TV. I want to keep that unit at 4.1.1. It's possible that Apple might come to the realization that they hosed things for some of us. Because I do have three units in my home, I can experiement with the other two units should a "fix" come out. I can then update one of the two devices, connect it to the Master Bedroom TV, and see if the problem was corrected. If not, I stay with 4.1.1. But I'm not convinced that Apple will see this as their problem, it's always easier to point elsewhere.

  • Why does my shutter not open for front facing camera?  and remains black during FaceTime, iphone 5 6.1.3 completely restored to factory
