Embedding another sequence's video...but not audio

I want to take the video from one sequence of my film (call it "sequence A") and place it in another sequence (call it "sequence B"). I don't want the audio from sequence A in B...just the video.
I would have thought that if I made sure that the "v1" source and destination on the "B" timeline were hooked up but the "a1" and "a2" weren't, that I could just drag sequence A onto the sequence B timeline and I'd be fine. But it doesn't work: FCPro always wants to bring in the audio from sequence A, despite the fact that I haven't set any "targets" for the audio.
Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

Good of you to ask, because my terminology is a little messed up. By "patched," what I meant was that my sequences had multiple audio outputs (one dual mono channel and two stereo channels, for a total of six different audio tracks). And indeed, that was the source of my problem. When I tried to drag a sequence directly from the browser onto the timeline, those other four audio tracks were what was appearing. (The a1 and a2 tracks--because they were "unpatched"--weren't appearing, which is the correct behavior.)
To fix my problem, I loaded the clip from the browser into the viewer first (by dragging...I had been confused because I had expected to be able to right-click on browser sequences and say "open in viewer"...but that menu option doesn't exist even though it's something you'd very much want to do). Once my sequence was in the viewer all of the patch "lozenges" appeared (in fact, far too many appeared, but that wasn't a problem), then I could successfully unpatch a3 through a6 and bring in my video without any audio.
Thanks for everyone's help.

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

Rodney
I see what you mean....Premiere Elements 10 appears to be the last version that had options for the user to select Capture Video and/or Audio in the its Capture Window.
If you are doing DV data capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 11 Capture Windows and want a final file without audio and you cannot do this at the camera level, then consider....
1. Do the Capture "to the Timeline" - video linked to audio result on the project's Video Track 1
a. Right click the Timeline DV AVl and select Delete Audio and then edit accordingly.
or
b. Import the DV AVI but, when you go to export it, in the export settings, remove the check mark next to Audio so that the export contains only the video portion.
Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thank you.

Having a problem streaming video, but not audio, from Amazon Prime through Apple TV.

I get the audio fine, but no picture when using AirPlay for Amazon Instant Video from iPhone or iPad. It worked before. I have AirPort Extreme and great connectivity.

The app likely does not support AirPlay... contact Amazon and find out.

How to ask questions the smart way

Reconnecting video but not audio

I moved my original video files onto an external drive and then when I attempted to reconnect the files again it only connects the video part of each lost file and the audio of the same video clips remains greyed out when viewed from the timeline.
Obviously this has something to do with the fact that my FCP capture scratch folders for audio and video of the same clips are different. I'm not sure how I end end up with two separate files so my first question is how can I get video and audio to be captured into just one file like I used to and much prefer?
Secondly how do I reconnect my audio again? Each time I run reconnect media it automatically tries to connect the video aspect and ignores the audio.
Enock

In System Settings, Scratch disk tab and deselect 'Capture Audio and Video to Separate files'
This will stop FCP splitting the captured clips.
As far as I know, you must reconnect the files separately. In the reconnect files menu, they should be listed as 'Clip Title' -v and 'Clip Title' -a. Firstly, reconnect the video files, then reselect clips to reconnect audio and make sure the OFFLINE option is selected in the 'Files to Connect' options to display only the audio files for reconnection.

SCORM bookmarked playback resumes video but not audio

Hi, We’ve published e-learning courses with Captivate 3 as SCORM 1.2 in a PIF (zipped Flash 9 + HTML). They play fine when delivered from our SABA 5.4 LMS, with the audio and video in sync. If we exit SABA’s content player part way through the course, we expect to resume at that bookmark when we return to the content player. However, while we do return correctly to the same point, the audio begins from the start even though the video resumes at the correct point. We have “Never send Resume Data” unchecked. We also patched the value in scorm_support.js of var g_nAPI to set it to “1”. Are any other Captivate settings/tweaks needed to get both audio and video to resume at the bookmark?
Thanks,
Bob

Think I found the answer. In a nutshell it seems that CP
takes all of the audio and merges it into one long file. If you add .1 seconds on each slide before the audio starts, that is enough to break it up so that it can recognized the individual files. Here is where I found info about it: http://www.cpguru.com/2009/05/25/preloader-tips-when-using-audio-in-your-project/
I tested and it seems to be working so far. Good luck!

AVI File Playing video but not audio!

Hey guys I am terribly sorry if this has already been discussed before but I am really getting aggrevated here. When I show the format it says : Generic MPEG-4, 624 x 352, Unknown
MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz
Anyone know a codec? I have downloaded everything I have seen that might be a codec and it's kind of scary that none have worked yet. The video is perfect but i hear nothing!

HT5517 my airplay mirrors video but not audio

I recently purchased an AppleTV and it has worked just fine and mirrored tv content from my MacBook Pro. Tonight for some reason it will not mirror the audio and I haven't changed any settings. I tried all the suggestions on the AppleTV support website--changing the audio to 16bit, turning the dolby off, resetting the Appletv etc and so far nothing has worked ... ??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried restarting the iPad or your router.

Impoting video but no audio when played back.

Never had trouble with IMovie before until now.
Trying to transfer home videos from a regular dvd.
When I play the clips, I get the video but no audio. If I open up another window (could be anything outside IMovie) I get the audio.
If I switch back to the IMovie window, no audio. I have my dvd player connected to a converter because I have an 8mm camcorder. Also, whenever I switch from edit mode to camera mode, IMovie crashes (sometimes). My converter is a Canopus ADV 110.

Try downloading the free program MPEG Streamclip. (Just Google it.) Drag your clip into the window of Streamclip, pull down the Streamclip File menu, and click on Convert to aiff, or something like that.
Likely your problem is that your clip contains an audio format or mixed material that is incompatible with iMovie. That's why it plays elsewhere but not in iMovie. Streamclip should be able to convert it to an aiff file, which works well with iMovie.

Quicktime plays video but no audio

Trying to play Quicktime videos from Prentice Hall website associated with textbook. Browser has up-to-date Quicktime plug-in and when tested there is video and audio. But when video is played from selected website, there is video but no audio. Tested using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox but results are the same.

Jacumba,
Here is the link that the professor provided -
http://wps.prenhall.com/chet_martin_audiology_11/194/49692/12721280.cw/index.htm l
The instructor tried on the computer in the classroom that she uses and I also tried it on the computer in my office. ON that website are different QuickTIme videos embedded in the different chapters. Clicking on the QuickTime link (box), the QuickTime logo appears, then the image appears but when Play is pressed, the video plays but there's no evidence of audio. The volume control on the QuickTime movie is at maximum and I have the volume on my computer at maximum, but there's no sound whatsoever. LIke I said, I have the latest QuickTime plug-in and when I test the plug-in, I get video and audio.
I'm trying to find out an answer for the professor because she uses the website in her course.
Any suggestions would be most welsom.

Good Video But Terible Audio

I have just got a Phillips SPC900NC USB web cam, I have got the iChatUSBCam 2.1 & Macam.0.9.0 software to make it work with iChat.
I get great video but the audio is very choppy and the spoken words are indistinguishable.
Can anyone help me to get it right?
Ive also tried Skype but cant get the video to work, I did get it to work once but again the audio was indistinguishable or not even there when the video was.
If people can help me on the iChat first as that is what i will be using to talk to my parents.
Thanks
Adrian

HI Adrian,
The original specs did say
iSight, Any Firewire DV Ouput Camcorder and Firewire web Cams
Eccam gave the option of External USB cams
Most of these are Web cams but the utility works for some camcorders that don't export in DV as well as those that use USB.

FLVPlayback - Video but no Audio

I'm building a flash projector who's main purpose is to play video.
Everything was working great, but occaisionally the video player showed video but no audio. It did this inconsistently - sometimes it would work, sometimes it didn't, and the volume always reported back as "1"
Here is some of the excerpted as3 I've written:
flv_player.height = 720;
flv_player.width = 1280;
flv_player.x = 0;
flv_player.y = 0;
flv_player.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
flv_player.source = my_source; // (variable string containing path to f4v file)
addChild(flv_player);
// ======= //
flv_player.play();
flv_player.seek(desired_s); // number
for now, I've fixed the problem by throwing in a half second wait using setInterval, after adding the child and starting the player (where // ===== // appears above
What bothers me about this fix is:
A) there's a half second of sitting on black and
B) I don't know why it's not working or why a wait fixes it.
I tried waiting to play until the fl.video.VideoEvent.READY event fired from the the FLVPlayback object, but no dice.
Any ideas out there?

I did come up with a solution, and it seems to work, though it's not as elegant as I'd like. I now add the FLVPlayback component (set to auto start playing), and set an interval to check if it's started playing every 33 ms (or roughly every frame). Once it/s 200ms in, I presume the video and audio are muxed and I can seek. Here's some excerpted code from my MovieClip class:
//adding flvplayback
                              flv_player.height = 720;
                              flv_player.width = 1280;
                              flv_player.x = 0;
                              flv_player.y = 0;
                              flv_player.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
                              flv_player.source = my_source;
                              flv_player.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, on_complete);
                              addChild(flv_player);
                              // right now, it's going to check to see if the video is playing.
                              my_interval = setInterval(start_playing,33);
private function start_playing():void
                              // if the video is 200ms in, we'll presume the audio is muxed and will start the show!
                              if (flv_player.playheadTime > 0.2) {
                                        clearInterval(my_interval);
                                        my_interval = new uint();
                                        flv_player.seek(my_in_point);
