Extend frame with background audio

I have a main video/audio clip and several other video tracks that overlay at different points.
The problem i have is that the timing of the main track is often too quick, not allowing the overlay enough time to display on screen.
1 method to solve this would be to stop the main track while the overlay displays (this is an exceptable method for my purpose).
I dont however want to display a black background or anything other than track1.
I was able to make a break or split, in track 1, but I couldnt figure out how to just copy a portion of the split track over and over again.
I guess my basic question, is how do I copy and paste...
Also, if someone knows a better way to achieve the same results I would appriciate it. Such as simply pause the video frame but duplicate the audio track for 10s or so.
thanks.

If I understand completely, what you want to do is create a Freeze Frame, from the last Frame of each Video Clip and then place that into the "gap," while the Audio completes. The Camera icon will do a Frame Capture when that Clip is Selected and the CTI (Current Time Indicator w/ red Edit Line) is placed over the last Frame. You then just drag that still image from the Project Panel and place it in the gap, extending it for whatever Duration you need.
As an alternative, see this ARTICLE on L & J Cuts.
Good luck,

sorry for main english. thanks to help.

Hi wedec - welcome to the discussions.
What you want can't be done on a standard DVD at all - there is no way to make the audio play continuously from menu to menu. If you look at any commercially produced disc you'll find that each menu has a different audio playing in the background of the menus, if there is any audio at all!

CS5.5 Extended - problem with importing audio .mov files

I would like to import an audio file to my PS5.5 Extended. It supports .mov files, so I tried to File->Place a mov file exported from Audition CS5.5. But Photoshop says: "Could not place the document xxx.mov because the movie file could not be opened."
The mov file doesn't open in Windows Media Player either and the message is that the codec is unknown. But it opens without problems in QuickTime, as audio.
I am not sure if this is Audition or Photoshop problem, but the format, or codec which is used should be common to both programs, as they are from the same CS5.5 suite. By the way, I have all settings set to default in Audition. No idea what codec it is using.
My purpose is to import sound, and because PS Ext does not support sound files as such, I found a workaround in the internet to import a mov file. But it does not work for me..

Loss of background audio

Slideshow working fine with background audio. Added a 6sec
silence at the start, or so I thought. All of the audio
disappeared, even mouse clicks. When I look at the Edit Audio
window, my sound is there as it was before. No silence has been
added but it will not make a sound.
Tried closing file and Captivate and reopening - no change
Tried deleting and reimporting audio - no change.
What's up and is there anything short of a restore of my
backup that will get me out of this?
Thanks

Don't know why I lost my audio but I noticed that all
projects had lost audio on the replay, not just the project I was
working on. I did a restart and got all my audio back (phew!). I'm
going to pass on the silence thing at the beginning - I can live
without it in view of the problems is seems to cause.

Captivate 7 HTML5 background audio not playing

The issue seems to be related to a slide with background audio that plays after a Random Question slide. I can see the playhead moving but the audio is muted. It seems to be a bug with Captivate 7.
To duplicate the issue, create a new Captivate 7 project, insert 2 Blank slides, each with Background Audio. Create a question pool with 2 multiple choice questions and insert a Random Question slide between the 2 previously created Blank slides. When playing in HTML5 from the start (F11), the second background audio does play (is muted).
I'm using Chrome in Windows 7.

Sreekanth,
I think I've found a workaround for this issue. I’m finding when audio is placed on each question slide in the pool, the audio on subsequent slides play. The audio on the question slides has to be different from audio used on non-question slides (but all the question slides can use the same audio). Also, the question slide audio can be a very short and silent piece of audio, so nothing is heard on the question slide itself.

Class extending a Frame with main method in it - how do I use the methods?

Howdy.
Having a problem.. I want my "main" class, ie. the class with the main method in it to extend a Frame class.. because the main method is static, I can't use Frame's methods.
What's a trick to get around this ? I am making a deliberate design decision to extend the Frame class, because I thought it was.. well.. better. I could always just create a Frame object and utilise it.. but from little things I've read and seen it's better to extend it.
When I use Forte to make a Frame program it sets up a constructor/etc. for the main class and then it does something akin to this (the class is called MazeGenerator) :
public static void main(String args[]) {
new MazeGenerator().show();
What does "new MazeGenerator().show();" do when it's not being associated to an object handle ??
Ta.
- Scutt.

Create an instance of the frame in main then the constructor can control it. Or you could add an init method or something:
class MyFrame extends Frame {
public static void main (String [] args) {
MyFrame frame = new MyFrame();
frame.init();
You don't necessarily have to have a reference to an Object in order to create one. All the work can be done in the constructor (something I'm not really fond of however)

I make videos using my go pro hd camera, but when i export it only half of my 3 min video shows up with the audio playing in the background, plus when i try to select the quality in the export options it won't let me select 720p or 1080p?????? help!!!

What you could do now is break up your video into smaller parts and render them out, then assemble them again as a whole.
I know this is not the best fix, but it might work.
You can duplicate an edit in the main screen, then delete the last bits and export,
do the same for the other half.
Then import the two bits (or more if you need) in a new edit.
Out of curiosity, can you post what format the video is in?
Copy a video straight from the camera to your computer.
Open it in Quicktime player, and with out playing type Apple + i
or Control + i for PCs
It should tell you lots of info about the video, and might help us to see what is wrong.
This is what it looks like:

Adding 2 Background Audio Tracks

Hi,
Is it possible to to add 2 background tracks in iMovie 09? I've had some problems with my audio from an interview and had to create a .wav file which I've dropped into the Background like an music track so that it aligns correctly with my 15 clips. However, I'd also like to add some background music for the moments between each of the interview clips. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks
MJ

Yes. This is quite easy. Just drag the track or tracks and drop them on the exact frame where you want them to start. (Drop them on the frame of video rather than on the gray background.)
[This Tutorial May Help|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#audioclips]
It is a tutorial for iMovie 08, but it still applies. Note that the Audio Adjustments Window is now a tab in the Inspector, rather than a separate button on the middle bar.

Can any one help me with CD/Audio disc playback problem on media center m8200n running Windows Vista

I have HP Media Center m8200n Dest top running WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32 BIT edition.It has MEDIA CENTER and MEDIA PLAYER. I experience problems with the computer being able to play CD music discs. What happens is that the Disc will play only for 63 seconds exactly and then stop playing the track, the player will then skip tracks, settle on another one, play it for a few moments and then skip to the end and then play nothing. It gives me an error message that it cannot read the disc. This happens with any and every standard store bought CD new or used. These CDs also do play on my laptop running basically same operating system. This happens whether I trying to Play a disc or burn the disc to the hard drive. The drives work great though as they do play DATA discs all the way through. MP3 discs play fine. It also plays the DVD movies with no problem. Windows media player doesn't make it work, also installed VLC player and REALPLAYER to try some other players and they also don't work for music, only DVDs. They all only produce 63 seconds of music play back from a disc. I've already tried Changing ENHANCEMENTS, UPDATING DRIVERS, UNINSTALLING THE DISC DRIVE and then re-installing back into WINDOWS but none of that helped. SYSTEM came with the integrated REALTEK HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO on the mother boad for multi channel playback options and I've downloaded those updated drivers again but that doesn't do anything. Thinking it might be a hardware drive problem I purchased a new LG BLU-RAY DRIVE/BURNER super multi drive which plays fantastic for any video format from Blu-Ray to regular DVD format with the Power DVD software but the machine is causing even this new drive to have the same problem with the audio and it cuts out playing the audio disc within the same 63 seconds running audio disc. . There seems to be a software glitch and I'm wondering if you can help. Also the sound card seems to work perfectly fine. I downloaded I-Tunes and copied over audio files to the computer via my flash drive and when I play those files from the hard drive, or even the sample windows media files which reside on the hard drive in MY MUSIC, all files play through perfectly, fully, and with great sound. Audio out jacks in back of computer work fine as also does the front head phone jacks upfront. Something in the software when playing a audio disc/file through the dic drives???? I've got hundreds of CD and it's a bummer not beng able to lay them through the system. Does anyone think moving from VISTA PREMIUM to a upgraded version like ULTIMATE or even going up to Windows 7 might solve problem??? What about the 32 bit verses 64 bit editions??? My system should be able to run in the 64 bit frame work also. THANK YOU in advance!!!

Hi,
All dimms work individually? Did you run a bootable memory diagnostic to determine the reliability? Did you run a diagnostic on the hard drive? I believe that your PC came with PC Doctor and that you can create a bootable diagnostic disk. Did you create that disk? Be sure to purchase memory dimms from a manufacturer that will stand behind their product with a guarantee such as Crucial, Corsair or Kingston. Buy directly from the manufacturer and they will stand behind the guarantee. Be sure that all of the dimms are identical. Use CPU-Z to determine that the specifications are indeed identical.
You have some options to consider once you can stablize your PC for updating the BIOS.
Locate a hard drive and use the HP external recovery media to build a VISTA system. -- safest method
Use a VISTA repair disk and at the command prompt try executing the HP BIOS update (Admin). -- safe
Try a bootable BIOS update process as suggested at this site. -- less safe but doable

How do I stop background audio clips from playing while browsing sites?

Firefox is my default browser. I use Google chrome and Internet explorer sessions for background monitoring news site sessions at the same time. I have no problem with the other two browsers. While surfing with Firefox I get unwanted background audio clips that start and run by themselves. I cannot stop them. They run and then stop by their self. They are some sort of adware and I cannot find the source to remove them. I also get video clips sometimes that I can stop that run around the outside of the active window I am viewing. These is very annoying. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem does not go away. I antivirus software, registry change protection software, and registry cleaning software. The problem is with the default browser.
How can I locate and remove the plugin, addin or service that starts this annoying activity. I have no special unwanted toolbars installed. There is nothing in the installed programs list in the control that shouldn't be there.

I had a similar problem to this. EVERYTIME i started firefox, it would play an audio clip from a flash game i played a while ago, it would last 5 minutes before finishing. i tried the starting in safe mode, but that didn't work for me, so after that i then tried RESETTING firefox, and that has worked for me.
On another side of startup problems, firefox would also open up a new tab on startup, usually 22find.com or do-search.com. i know these are caused by a virus and have since deleted it, but it had changed a preference file in firefox causing it to continue to open on startup.
Having since done the firefox reset, i haven't had either of these problems AT ALL! would recommend this as a possible fix for you friend before trying any lengthy troubleshooting process or downloading any extra anti-virus removal software.
here's the like to showing you how to reset firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

How do I import AVI video with stereo audio (and keep it that way)?

Today I just discovered that all the AVI video with stereo audio I've ever imported into a Premiere Pro CS6 project has been mysteriously converted to mono. And I can't find any import setting anywhere that enable me to change this.
Here's the deal...
I've have an AVI file with stereo audio (the file is actually a stereo sound test that I downloaded to prove that I wasn't imagining things). On my hard drive, I right-click and view the properties:
Video
Length: 00:00:36
Frame width: 320
Frame height: 240
Frame rate: 25 frames/second
Audio
Bit rate: 128kbps
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate: 44 kHz
I click on it to play and listen with headphones--everything is playing in the correct part of the stereo spectrum. Then, I import it to Premiere, click the file name in the left content menu, and check the properties, suddenly they read:
Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 1.1 MB
Image Size: 320 x 240
Frame Rate: 25.00
Source Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 16 bit - Mono
Project Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono
Total Duration: 00:00:36:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Sure enough, I drag it into the sequence, listen to it, and it's indeed playing mono. Outside of Premiere, the original source file still reads and plays correctly with stereo sound.
When I import stereo WAVs and MP3s, it keeps the original stereo channels without me having to do anything special. I even just imported the same exact file as a MOV with stereo audio, and it showed up in Premiere as:
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
What is going on here with AVIs? Am I doing something wrong? Are there settings I'm missing somewhere?
(And before anyone suggests I only use MOV in the future... that's not exactly the answer I'm looking for.)

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can no longer preview background audio accurately, efficiently in Captivate 7

I'm currently using Captivate 7.0.1.237 on a Mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
As far as I know, Captivate has never allowed for Background audio previews to work anywhere but in (Preview > Project) and (Preview > web [or] HTML5). Those aren't ideal, but I used to have no problem fast-forwarding the preview to see what adjustments needed to be made to sync background audio voiceovers to slide content. (FYI - I can't record to each slide because I'm combining recordings with static slides. Tried, failed.)
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I have been unable to scrub (rewind/fast forward) in any of the preview modes without losing the synchronization of the voiceover audio I have in the background. Previewing in web browsers doesn't even work at all any more. {Error: This webpage is not available.} The video will rewind/fast forward, but the audio doesn't recognize the timestamp.
So, this means that now the only method I have for timing audio to video is previewing the entire project (Preview > Project). I am working on developing a set of 15 different videos (eventually MP4 output, so no interactions), each of which is between 3-8 minutes in length. Each project is between 25-60 slides. Say I create content on the last slide (which might be 5-10 objects per slide,) I have to preview the entire 8-minute video without pausing, rewinding, or fast-forwarding - every. single. time. I add. or change. some content.
This problem has led to me working 10+ hours in a day attempting to sync audio to animations for just one project. This is totally unacceptable.
PLEASE HELP!!! I've searched high and low through the documentation, FAQs, and message boards and I'm coming up empty.

Thanks for considering the problem! Unfortunately, as I stated above, the voiceover needs to be a background audio file that plays throughout the project. It's not possible to record audio-per-slide because of the structure of the video - and because I do a lot of editing of the audio files for 8-minute videos.
FYI - I was able to have a chat conversation with a support tech. Here is the transcript of that chat:
Anvinder: We have not tested the workflow of captivate 7 with yosemite so far.
Anvinder: You might find some inconsistencies.
AMANDA: So, is there no solution to this error?
AMANDA: Do I need to publish the entire project every single time I make a small change?
AMANDA: Has Captivate 8 shown this error in Yosemite?
Anvinder: In order to make the changes evident in the output you need to publish the whole output.
Anvinder: Amanda, the best practice is to publish the whole project.We are in testing phase for the same. You can download the trial version of captivate 8 and work on it on yosemite.
If you have a suggestion for a better workflow for creating tutorial videos (ultimately published to YouTube) that need to include the following, please share!
a voiceover
heavily animated explanations of concepts
live screen capture of business processes in software
Thanks!

Ipad background audio from video when multitasking

Hello.
This is a request if people can either feedback On their present experience or try this out themselves first and feedback.
I have an ipad 1. When ever i try to get background audio to play from video when multitasking in another app, eg safari, from any video app including plex, airvideo, vlc, and the original apple video app. All that occurs is that the icon changes to the ipod and a random song is played from my music library instead of the audio from the video i was watching. This does not matter if the video file is streamed or stored on the ipad itself.
There is one slight and occasional proviso to this, as at times if the video file is tagged in itunes as 'music' rather than 'movie' or 'tv show' etc then it does on occasions work, and on occasions youtube videos will play in the background. But most of the time these aspects also dont function int he background with the ipod icon instantly replacing which ever video app icon i tried to use in the background.
Now my sons iphone 4 manages to function correctly and always plays video in the background when multitasking.
I have asked this question before on this forum, with no response, so booked a visit to my local genius bar. Where they checked my ipad and agreed it wasnt working as ios should, then interestingly they attempted to do the same on an ipad 2 and it failed to work in exactly the same way. Their response was that this was obviously a fault of the ipad ios, possibly due to the ipad having a separate video app where as the iphone has video within its generic ipod app.
I did the usual by informing apple via of this bug through the feedback system, and requested that the genius bar do the same. But having thought about this, and failed to see any other users on this forum who are also puzzled at this lack of what i think is an important function, i wonder if this means that i am the only one who likes to listen to video when im browsing, so dont need it, or wether everyone elses ipads function as ios should do, and for some reason both my ipad, and the ipad 2 tested in the shop are at fault.
So can i request if others reading this can have a go to see if their ipad will play background audio from video when multitasking, or if the same problem occurs.
Thanks very much this is really appreciated.

Oops clicked the wrong button, I meant to click a 'helpful answer' as it hard to have a correct answer to such a question.
But thanks for the replies.
It looks like this is a bug in ios solely for the ipad, as it does work fine on the iphone although wonder which way the ipod touch will perform. interestingly it looks like i may also be in the minority of wishing to listen to video files as I browse:)
Which probably means apple may never get around to sorting it, as no one else uses the function.
Anyway thanks for the replies, if any one else wants to see the bug have a go and comment, i find it funny how I seem to be the only one to have found it to date.

What's wrong with the audio meter?

Let me start off by saying that I know the problem I am going to report is a little bit complicated, if my limited grasp of English makes it even harder to understand, please let me know. I'll elaborate on it further.
At first, I was very happy with the CS6 because the audeo meter at the bottom right can show the volume of video EVEN WHEN i scrub through the clip in the viewer monitor. It is vital to me,because I am so used to editing based on the fluctuance of volume as I edited on FCP .However, I find the audio meter in premiere pro is kind of wonky. when I press left arrow or right arrow to move frame by frame, the the audio meter acts very strangely...I am not sure how to discribe it in words, but I'll give it a try here:
In FCP 7,the audio meter shows the volume in a very simple way: when I play the video frame by frame, the audio meter fluctuate correspondingly, to show the volume of that individual frame.
In PP, when I try to play frame by frame, the audio meter gives no reaction in the first couple of frames, then fluctuate . The most mind boggling thing is that when I stop playing the clip, instead of staying as the volume of the frame where I stop (as FCP does), the audio meter in PP slowly falls down to nothing. What gives? Can I have an audio meter in PP acting just like the one in FCP? Can anyone give me a hint of what's going on here? Thank you in advance!!

if you want the peaks to stay, right click on the audio meter and choose static peaks.
Todd recorded a great video about the audio meter and mixer here:

as for the meter not moving the first few frames, i think, i can't help you.
