Is it possible to monitor audio through my mac while capturing from a tape in FCPX

Is it possible to monitor audio through my mac while capturing from a tape in FCPX?

I am sure that as you import a tape you will hear the audio as well as see the video.
Have you got FCP X?
If not, download the free 30 day trial.

How can I import "extracted audio" clips from iMovie project into iTunes?

I imported my home video into iMovie HD 6.0.1 and extracted the audio. How can I get the extracted audio clip (aiff format) into my iTunes playlist?

Genny,
I just tried to answer your question over in the iMovie forum. Have a look over there.

Extracted audio and GarageBand

Happy New Year to everyone!
Today I have been working with a very short video clip (3:24:24) taken Christmas eve. Unfortunately popping sounds can be heard in the audio track and as a result I extracted the audio in attempt to fix this. I copied the extracted audio to the Desktop and from there placed it in an empty track in GarageBand for fixing.
My problem is that in GarageBand the audio clip is longer than prior to extraction. The initial length prior to moving it into GarageBand 3:24:24, but once in GarageBand is longer 3:42:43. This happens before I do anything to it. It is longer from the moment I place it inside GarageBand. Prior to this it has the proper length.
I noticed this the first time I pasted the audio back into iMovie HD since the audio was out of sync!! I thought I did something wrong in GarageBand and so I went back and fixed another copy of audio clip with the same results.
Also, also the audio is 16 bit.
I don't understand why it is longer in Garageband. Any suggestions or help would be great!

Happy New Year!
After I wrote my message I went searching to the GarageBand 2 discussions and found this possible solution from a member named "hangtine":
Q. How do I convert a sound with iTunes? (The Never-Fail™ method) neverfail
A. Drag the sound file into the iTunes window, if it isn’t already there. Set iTunes’ Importing preference to AIFF, 44.1k, 16-bit. With the name selected in the iTunes window choose Convert to AIFF from under the Advanced menu.
When the conversion is done a new file will be created and listed in the iTunes window (Convert doesn’t actually convert, it recreates in the new format). Select this new iTunes song and chose Show Song File from under the File menu. Drag this file into your GarageBand Timeline and it will play fine.
I followed this advice with my audio clip, and my GarageBand-corrected audio clip was almost normal in length, although it was 4 secs. longer. Nevertheless, I was able to used it in iMovie.
Since I still had an unaltered audio clip in iMovie, I synchronized (visually) the "changed" waveform with the waveform unaltered one. The video and sound was synchronized! Still, the audio clip had 2 additional seconds added at the begining and at the end. I plan to crop the audio and everything will be OK.
I wish there was an easier way. I will try your suggestion with QuickTime.
Thank you.

Extracted Audio and Video Project CRASHED!

Hello,
HELP!! I put a 9 minute video together and wanted all of the Audio Out. So, I went into Timeline, selected ALL the audio clips, went to Advanced and clicked Extract Audio.
Now the Video won't play properly. It's like a bunch of still frames, and I can still hear the audio.
When I pull an individual clip from the project and put it in the clip viewer, the Video is fine and there is no audio.
How can I get my movie back? I am desperate.
Thanks
Frankie G.

Catspaw,
I'm new at this, so I don't have my terminology down, but I know this for sure: Thanks for your help. I'm back in Business.
I went into the Cache folder, got the .mov file, created a new project, and moved the .mov file to the Timeline. Then I Saved the File and dumped the 4 gigs of trash that was mostly Extracted Audio files.
But, when I played the my project it was only 32 seconds of Black.
That, however, was the Original Project where I'd Extracted the Audio and created all those problems.
Backing up a bit: I had also followed your advice by moving All the clips--one by one--from the Timeline back to the Clips file. Then I saved the project, renamed it, but when I tried to play it back things got whacky and that spinning colored wheel would go forever.
But, I wasn't giving up, so I followed the Cache/.mov file procedure with the Re-Edited version and Bingo--It worked.
The two steps you suggested were the way to go.
The .mov file entered the Timeline as One 9-minute clip, but that was not a problem because I had completed the project. Before I hit Save Project, I Exported it to a fresh tape in my video camera.
Thanks again for your help, and I hope this lengthy message helps others.
Take care.

Extracted audio cleanup from iMovie

Have converted old analogue video of school production to clips in iMovie. Have extracted audio (too much 'hiss'), and imported into Logic Pro, applied a Denoise filter and saved as an audio file. Problem is that when I reimport into iMovie the audio file is out-of-sync (though now it sounds great!). Any advice?

hi macmacmac....(say it fast and it sounds like a duck ;))
Welcome!
Anyway, have you tried this?

Have audio and slides. Want synchronized movie.

I thought this was going to be simple.
I have an audio recording (.wav) of a lecture and the slide deck that goes with it. I want to create a movie by importing the audio file and the slides (keynote) into a project, and then adjust the slide transitions so the slides are synchronized with the lecture. I figured out how to do this with GarageBand's podcast feature. But I want a large format movie, not a little iPod size movie that are fuzzy when you enlarge the playback window on a computer.
What are the easiest set of steps to get what I want?
Is there a better tool than iMovie to do this?

I figured out a solution. It was not obvious.
First I export all my slides as static images; I chose TIFF format.
Now here is the non-intuitive part: I imported the TIFF files into iPhoto, not iMovie. From the iPhoto window, I can drag each slide/picture into my iMovie project. Then I use a combination of "clip adjustments" to make the slides appear longer in the movie, and then make them shorter by dragging the right-edge of the picture clip. (I don't understand why you cannot just drag the clips right-edge to make it longer.)
I really like the "audio scrub" effect when I am dragging the right-edge of my pictures, it helps me synchronize my slide transitions with the audio. But it is frustrating in that "scrub mode" doesn't always work unless you grab the edge "just right." (I still do not know what "just right" is, I just fiddle until it works.)
BTW, my epiphany came from watching this movie from Apple's iMovie tutorials: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie-photos

Extract audio and record to a CD

Is it possible to extract the audio from a clip and burn it to a CD? If so what would that workflow be?
Thanks
Kent

Often, in order to solve a particular problem, you need several different bits of information. There's a section in the FCE user manual about exporting audio. There's another that discusses using tracks from an audio CD in FCE, and that's where you find out the specifics of CD audio files. It can be hard to glean all the details you need from one spot in the UG, as voluminous as it is. That's one of the wonderful things about this forum, IMHO. I guess what I'm saying is that the only advice I could offer is to break your issue down into as many different discreet parts as possible and find the information you need for each part.

Audio and video stutter problems with .mov

Hi there, guest newbie here…..
I’ve searched high and low for a solution to this problem but with no luck.
Once upon a time I updated itunes to version 7 I think it was, and it caused all my tracks to stutter on playback. I then reverted back to 6.whatever and it solved the problem. I have been enjoying a stutter free life ever since…..until….
I bought a tutorial DVD made up of lots of .mov files, when I tried to play one the video and the audio stuttered.
However, when I fired up itunes, tracks in there played fine.
Maybe it was the dvd?? So I put it in my laptop and it played fine!
OK….. so I updated everything to their latest versions (Jan 09) on the other computer including:
Quicktime
Adobe Flash
Soundcard (RME Multiface)
Graphics card (Geforce FX 5200)
I even tried using different media players to play the .mov files.. but NOTHING WORKED.
I’ve played around with settings on each player i.e. ‘safe mode’ on quicktime, but again nothing worked. In fact this setting auto switches back to what it was when I try to play the file.
Is anyone experiencing the same problems and does anyone have any more solutions to this problem????
Many thanks in advance

Sounds like his cashe is full. Clear his cashe out. You can do that in internet options and depending on the version of IE if that's what he is using you will find a option in there to delete temporary files. Delete everything from there, then restart IE, and he should be good to go.

Exporting and compressing iMovie to QT Movie

I just downloaded Quick Time Pro and have tried to export a short video (4 minutes) I created in iMovie into different formats. I exported it to MPEG-4, and it worked just fine. I tried to export it as a QT Movie with H.264 compression and it took hours to accomplish. Then when I played it back, it was choppy. I am new to video editing. Is there something wrong with the program, or am I doing something wrong, or is my equipment not powerful enough to handle this?
Thanks

Hmmm.....whatever that means. I think he is just underpowered and this is an opportunity to finally get that MBP.It means you are probably correct. If this is an older G4 then playing the file is like trying to get the volume water flowing through a 4 inch pipe to flow through a 1 inch pipe at the same rate. On the other hand, converting the file is like filling a reservoir from a 4 inch pipe and then emptying it with the 1 inch pipe. It, like the computer, can do the job. It just takes a lot longer to empty than to fill.

HELLLLP - Audio and Video gap after capturing

I am in desperate need of some help. I have been working on logging tapes into my FCP project, and when i went back to view the clips, the last few tapes that i have logged are not right. The audio is about 1-2 seconds ahead of the video. I was willing to just restart the project, and logged my first tape, and the problem is persisting. About my setup: I have a MBP hooked up to a 20" ACD. I have a Sony DSP-11 running into a firewire 400 port, and all my data for the project is going to a LaCie 500GB external HD via Firewire 800. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions as to why this is happening. I have 35 tapes to log, and am only renting this tape deck until thursday. Please help. If there are any final cut experts in the chicago area that could help me out, i could pay you to come out. Thanks

Do you have "abort capture on dropped frames" and "make new clip on timecode break" enabled in your preferences? If not, that might be the cause of the problem.
What format is the Sony DSP-11? Is it DV? With DV there can be problems if your audio samplin of your tape does not match the audio sampling of your capture preset. Not sure about other formats.

WRT610N and PS3 - Slow audio and photo streaming, while video is fine

Hi, I just hooked up my USB portable hard drive to this Linksys router and was able to access the picture/audio/video on my PS3, it's very cool
However I quickly noticed is has couple of problems:
The access to JPG files is painfully slow, on average it would take about 20 to 30 seconds for the next photo to show up (the average size for a photo is about 2~3 MB).
The similar story would happen on MP3.
However the streaming of video is totally a different story, it's lighting fast! It would take about 2 to 5 seconds for the video to start to play, once it's started, there is no lag/interruption. The video I watched is a 600 x 400 .avi file at the size of 84MB, it plays very fluidly.
I found it's hard to believe that HD video actually runs much better than photo and MP3, it just doesn't make sense to me.
I also rebooted router/PS3 mutiple times, which didn't help at all.
Can anyone offer some hints on what could be wrong?
thanks ahead,
Hong

What is the Model no of the USB HDD...?
Have you checked with different computer..?
Try to use the different computer and check if you are facing the same problem.

Audio and Video Skips While Playing. HELP!

HT4016 How to extract audio from a movie that is already in my project without having to delete and re-import the movie?

The article is
"How to extract audio from a movie file"
But it only tells you how to extract when you first drag the movie file into the project. This much is obvious when a dialog presents you with a checkbox asking if you want to "Extract the audio track" ... Duh
Here was my workflow:
Dragged the movie file into my project
I checked "Extract the audio track"
I shifted the "Movie Start Time"
Extracted audio track did not shift with the movie
I deleted the extracted audio and played the audio directly from the movie
Now, I need the audio extracted again at the current movie position
I knew where this option was in the Logic 9 menus, but I'm having trouble finding it in Logic X
Is this option still available, or has it been removed?

Solved:
I found the menu option for extracting or re-extracting the movie audio. BTW, the original article:
Logic Pro 9.1: How to extract audio from a movie file in 64-bit mode
should really also state the menu command for extracting the audio, not just the procedure when first adding the movie to the project.
Here's the menu command:
File>Movie>Import Audio from Movie
Cheers

Audio Out of Sync in iDVD 6 Even When Extracting Audio iMovie 6

I realize this issue has been addressed since the first release of iDVD, but the previous workarounds of “Extracting Audio” in iMovie 6 no longer seem to keep the audio in sync when burning to iDVD 6. In fact, the audio is even out of sync in the iDVD preview now; i.e, the preview correctly shows the audio will be out of sync on the DVD-Video.
I have read at least one post that states Extract Audio (in iMovie) does nothing but pastes the audio on a separate track, but Apple’s own Knowledge Base offers this as a solution.
For those of us that have years of video that is analog or 12 bit, the Extract Audio seemed to be the solution, but no longer.
As a noteworthy side comment not meant to make this post too long, iMovie 6 is significantly slower in extracting the audio for a 2 -hour project, taking hours, and making the iMovie file 50MB. The process sometimes stalls to the point where “Force Quit” shows iMovie in Red and “Not Responding” but the process does eventually complete. The previous versions would keep the audio and video files in a separate folder and the iMovie file was a more manageable size. Any suggestions or insight would be appreciated.

I am fairly new to iDVD 6 and iMovie HD (widescreen), but I an currently assembling a highlight DVD for my daughter's softball team. We are in mid season. I had been creating separate movies (per game). I extracted audio and/or added sound and video effects to some of the movies clips. Alas not only do the extracted (original audio) and added audio (outdoor cheer) disappear but also the video special effects (slow motion) are not maintained in widescreen but are pillarboxed when copied/pasted.
At any rate, I am have now created a compilation iMovie and will be dumping new footage into it as we go. Editing the compilation, as well as editing separate "save as" individual game movies.
I only had 2-3 clips that had been audio manipulated and shared those back to my video camera and then reimported from camera back to the compilation project. The extracted audio with separate tracks are now a single audio clip but at least I have audio during those clips.
To end this ramble, knowing the limitations of messing with audio and trying to cut and paste to different movies I will now create duplicate movies with a master having no audio enhancements.
Dave
Thanks, Len
I hadn't thought about this option. It seems like a
lot of work. I wish there was an easier way. I have
archived ("Shared" to full dv quality) to DVD-ROM
discs all the raw .dv clips AFTER extracting the
audio, hoping that I could use these clips to
assemble custom DVD-Videos in the future, without
having to "Extract Audio" a second time. The .dv
clips all play perfectly with the audio synced in
Quicktime. Of course, the clip's audio was in sync
before the "Extract Audio" was applied. This sync
problem ONLY rears it's ugly head with iDVD Video
discs (don't know about DVD Pro). Thanks again for
the suggestion.
