How can I get synched audio through the computer rather than camera in FCE?

There does not seem to be an easy way to listen to FCE audio through the computer's setup for internal or external speakers. I have for years used Detour to route all of my audio through an M-Audio Firewire 410 interface, and then on to my home stereo system. I then route all systems sounds and sounds in apps like iMail through the internal speaker. This works great. Except with Final Cut Express. For quite a while I could not do anything except play through a firewire connected to an attached Sony PC100 digital video camera, plugging headphones into it's jack.
After many hours and reading many strings on this and other discussion boards, and even reading the product manual, I tried sending FCE through the computer speaker and sure enough it works. By that reasoning, I had Sound Prefs send all audio through the m-Audio setup and that works. Except now I must listen to all of the system sounds that way as well.
OK, I could live with that for my editing sessions, except that now I am experiencing a sound synch delay of around one second. It's all fine when I switch back to the camera as the monitor, but not when routed through, what should be the better sound setup, having the comouter send the soud via the m-audio and stereo.
G5 dual 2Mgz Mac OS X (10.4.5) m-audio firewire 410; 1.5G DDR SRAM;

In final cut, you want the audio to be following the same path as the video - otherwise, as you have experienced, there are processing delays.
If you are sending your video out firewire to an external monitor, the audio should follow. Take the audio off of the A/DV converter and route it to your speakers (or amp & speakers) from there.
good luck.

Using FCE with 7500 iMovie DV Stream files: best approaches?

I have about 50 hours of irreplaceable DV footage, of the first 5+ years of my children's lives. I saved all this footage to hard disk over these past 5 years using whatever the latest version of iMovie was at the time, so I have around 7500 DV stream clips created in iMovie 2, 3, 4, and HD. There has been no editing, no titles, no transitions. Just 50 untouched iMovie projects sitting for years on several FireWire disks.
First question: Which format of digital video is currently more universally compatible and accessible by software: DV Stream (like iMovie uses) or DV-NTSC (like FCE uses)? I'd like my unedited video to be stored in a format that has a decent chance of being around for a while. (Which format is the Betamax, and which is VHS?)
Anyway, the time has finally come to start editing this monumental volume of material. I want to leave iMovie, and learn to use FCE because iMovie is still buggy, FCE is more powerful, and -- here are the key words -- because FCE has 'RT Extreme" and "seamless iMovie import."
The challenge, and the reason I need your advice, is now how to bring these 7500 iMovie DV stream files into FCE, in such a way so RT Extreme really works when editing these clips and the transition to FCE is really "seamless." Seamlessness is not the feeling I get when I've read several threads in this forum that address sticky problems arising when trying to work on iMovie projects using FCE.
My hope was I could avoid such problems by somehow "importing" each iMovie DV stream clip into FCE and "converting" them to FCE's DV-NTSC format. Then my intention was to save the new DV-NTSC clips to disk and delete the iMovie clips, so I could then work entirely in FCE without any difficulty. IMO, this would be "seamless." As I'm reading through this forum I'm getting the sinking feeling that this is not possible.
So, QUESTION 2: How best to proceed, when I have 50 iMovie projects, saved using iMovie 2, 3, 4, and HD, with around a total of 7500 DV Stream clips, so as to avoid glitches and delays in the transition, and to preserve features of FCE such as RT Extreme?
If there are no good options, I suppose one possibility is to re-capture all the video from the original camcorder tapes again, using FCE instead of iMovie. This would be worthwhile especially if the answer to my first question is DV-NTSC. What do you think?
Besides having to spend 50 hours re-capturing all the video I have on tape, there are other potential difficulties with this. First off, at least one of my original tapes has been "eaten" by my Canon camcorder when the rewind mechanism failed and I only have the DV stream data for that tape. Maybe I could record the affected clips back to tape, then capture them into FCE? Is this a plausible solution?
Second, these tapes have been sitting around for more than 5 years, without exercising them or doing anything special to keep the data in good shape. What if some of the tapes have drop-outs or other problems? I'd have to go back to my DV Stream data, and I'm back in the same boat.
I would appreciate any advice/feedback you can offer.

Tom,
Thanks a lot for your valuable reply.
You wrote, "If the project does not import, you'll need to crack open the iMovie project, extract the clips from inside the project folder or package, and import them into FCE."
This may be a basic operation, but as I don't yet have any working knowledge of FCE, how do you import these clips once you've found them in the package? And if you do that, is a copy made of those clips, or does FCE just remember where they are? If copies are made, are they still in DV Stream format or DV-NTSC/QT?
For the clip that's been eaten, can I export that clip (using iMovie) to a new DV tape in my camcorder, then import that DV into FCE? If so, would that material then have clip timecode embedded in the QT file, or not? Is that a bad idea for any reason?
You mentioned some setups with the Canon cameras have been problematic. I have a Canon GL2. I doubt anyone outside of Apple knows yet if it will be a problem with my setup: a PowerMac G5 Quad, with FCE pre-installed. I don't think the Quads have shipped yet.
Thanks again, and I look forward to your reply to these questions.
BTW, have you written a book on FCE HD? I didn't see one on Amazon.

Purchased Motion backgrounds to use in FCE - not working correctly!

Hi there,
Perhaps someone can help me. I ordered some motion backgrounds from actionbacks.com and have been trying to use them in FCE. These backgrounds are meant to loop seamlessly when they are stacked side by side...
When i drag one into the timeline, copy it and put the copied one next to it they are seamless and look very nice. But as soon as I add a video to the timeline above the background and render it, i am getting a black flash that happens inbetween the two looped backgrounds. Tech support for the product says it sounds like a Final Cut Express issue. Any insight anyone?
Thanks a lot,
Karen

Hello Tom - Sorry for the very long delay in getting back to you on this. My Aunt passed away and I haven't been back to my computer for some time... I just launched this problem again and found where we left off. (Hopefully you don't mind re-examining this issue with me after so long).
To answer your last question, yes, when I exported a quicktime self-contained movie of the loops stacked side by side, i still get the black flicker. I see it when i watch it in QT and also when I re-import it into FCE. I even see it before I ever add a video clip to V2!
Yes, I can put the loops side by side on the timeline and play them and I don't see the black flash. It seems that I only see the flicker when I render (after placing the video on V2) OR when I export the loop as a QT movie.
Any more thoughts on this? Actionbacks is a very reputable company... I know this problem must be on my end, otherwise they wouldn't stay in business!
Thanks for any additional help you may be able to offer.

Why is the playback in Final Cut Express 4 delayed by 30 seconds?

I am finding editing with Final Cut Express 4 has gotten slow and frustrating. This is a new problem. I have used this software for two years with no problems until now. I'll start out editing a project normally for about an hour. Then the playback function starts to lag. After I render a clip and try to play back what I've done by hitting the space bar, I have to look at the spinning color wheel for 30 seconds before my video will play. I have no other programs open, I have 10 GB of RAM. I upgraded my OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard a few months ago. All my Apple Software is updated. FCX has also been crashing and locking up. Is there a preferred way to save my project for more efficient editing? I also tried starting a new project with only a five minute audio mp3 clip and a 10 sec slug for video. I get the same playback delay with this project. In this case I only saved the project not "save all".

Hi Robert,
I've never unistalled and reinstalled an OS so it's a little scary for me.
I suggested uninstalling/reinstalling Final Cut Express, not the OS!
When I click on the FCE icon on my task bar to open it, which version is being opened?
Probably the one on your 1TB drive, but to be sure, you can always just open your /Applications folder on the 1TB drive and double-click the FCE application to start FCE.
Could there be a problem with a duplication of applications such as FCE on these two drives?
Highly unlikely. The system looks for applications in the /Applications folder on your startup drive, which is now your 1TB drive.
My video is 4:3 so I chose 640x480 to prevent stretching of the image.
No, you need to choose 720x480 (DV-NTSC) frame size. This is the standard 4:3 DV frame size. 640x480 is a computer monitor resolution. 720x480 is the actual, standard def, DV (television) frame size. It is 4:3. The 720 line height includes something called "overscan" which you never actually see. The image you see will be 4:3. FCE is not designed for 640x480 frame size ... do you have to render these clips after you put them in your DV-NTSC sequence?
Then after about an hour of editing, the playback delays started up again.
Well, that's bizarre, I must admit. Kinda has me stumped, except for the possibility that FCE may need to be uninstalled/reinstalled.

Very slight delay in live recording

Hi.
I am running LE with an Alexis Multimix 8 Firewire control mixer. I am getting a very slight delay over the monitor speakers and in headphones when speaking into mic or playing guitar when a track is record enabled. This is annoying. I do not get this delay when using Cubase LE which came with the mixer. Being new, I guess you might call what I am looking for is a "dry" sound. I have tinkered and read the manual adnauseum to no avail. Is this due to a "processing" delay through LE? Is there a record or monitoring setting that will alleviate this problem?
Thanks,
Tom
20" iMac G5 w/iSight Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1 gb RAM, 250 MB Hard Drive, FCE 2.03, QT 7.04

To all.
I think I just found the answer in another thread. I turned off "software monitoring" in the audio preferences and the delay went away. What exactly have I done though in terms of input sound and what is being recorded?
Thanks

Transition,and bleeding jpeg problems in fce 4

3 problems..1st) 2 jpegs with motion(lets say a pan) the motion starts from fist frame,looks good,add ANY transition(say a cross disolve) the 2nd photo is still until the transition is done then the motion starts..this delay prevents a smooth flow. this didnt happen with sd fce previously...
2nd problem.. when i have a photo over apart of video, a small part of color from video bleeds into photo..looks like crap..yes the photo is at 100 % level.
3rd..my china photos looks steller floating across my tv using apple tv, but when i play the same photos whether its print to video or from dvd..photos are so so.

*1st) 2 jpegs with motion(lets say a pan) the motion starts from fist frame,looks good,add ANY transition(say a cross disolve) the 2nd photo is still until the transition is done then the motion starts..this delay prevents a smooth flow. this didnt happen with sd fce previously...*
Not sure I'm reading or following this right but, do you have say image "A" in V1 and image "B" in V2, with "B" slightly over "A" ?
*2nd problem.. when i have a photo over apart of video, a small part of color from video bleeds into photo..looks like crap..yes the photo is at 100 % level.*
Is this photo a gif or jpeg ? sounds like it's acting like a gif, tif file extensions work best and, is what I use with all my stills.

What is the file extension of the photos at question ?

Rules for iMovie/FCE/iDVD

Reading through many posts seems I find some general rules of thumb not found elsewhere. Thanks in advance for all comments.
For serious video editing work and creation an external firewire HDD is needed, mainly to avoid dropped frames in either FCE or iMovie (iM). The new 20" iMac and external HDD (with 2 firewire connections, for the input device (DV camcorder or DV/SVHS deck) and to the iMac) should be able to run either FCE/iM.
I just did a 45 min project in iM with no noted dropped frames but likely would in much longer projects if I don't get the external drive?
Audio bit rate. Advice I read for iM is that without 16 bit audio the audio gets out of sync in long projects--does FCE also need 16 instead of 12? Not knowing this need, I've recorded a number of projects (with a DV deck and a DV camcorder) in 12--can I capture to the iMac/external HDD in 16 if I'm playing from a source tape that's 12?
Chapter Markers. Seems there are "Rules for Chapter Markers" that I won't repeat here but suspect they apply to both FCE/iM when used with iDVD. Do those rules apply when you use DVDStudio instead of iDVD? One rule I haven't seen yet is that one should likely not use the apply chapter markers option in iDVD as it could apply a marker that violates the "rules" and cause strange results in the DVD when played, right?
Any other rules or concerns I've missed--perhaps always max out on RAM even if its rather costly? What other basic tips or secrets should I know for editing with these products?

"..The new 20" iMac and external HDD (with 2 firewire connections, for the input device (DV camcorder or DV/SVHS deck) and to the iMac) should be able to run either FCE/iM.."
This may not be true if you're trying to connect a Canon camcorder to the Mac at the same time as an external hard disc: Canons like to have the FireWire circuit all to themselves, and so you may need to do it in two steps with a Canon ..capture to the internal hard disc, then unplug the Canon, plug in the external disc and transfer the movie clips across to the external, and then use that for editing. This doesn't affect Sonys, which happily work with other FW devices connected to the system. I don't know about Panasonics and other brands (..I haven't tried my Panny with an external disc connected, and am in too much of a hurry at the moment to try it. Maybe later today..)
"..can I capture to the iMac/external HDD in 16 if I'm playing from a source tape that's 12?.."
No ..FireWire's a digital connection system, so what goes in at one end (..12-bit source tape..) is exactly what's captured at the other end (..iMac/external HDD in 16..)
One way to convert would be to play your source video into another camcorder through analogue (RCA) connections, with the 2nd camcorder set to record in 16-bit ..or use some other device which accepts an analogue signal IN, and provides a digital signal OUT. That'll recapture the sound in 16-bit, and it can then be transferred into your Mac in 16-bit. But the video may be degraded a little, and it's rather long-winded.
It may be that, once imported as 12-bit, GarageBand can convert 12-bit audio into 16-bit ..I don't know: I'm not that familiar with GarageBand, sorry..
Just try testing your 12-bit audio in iMovie or FCE first ..some people have no difficulties with it ..others do. (..That may depend on whether you're using only your original 12-bit audio, or if you're also trying to mix it with 16-bit audio within the movie project..)
However, note that - once again - Canons are quirky. Because of the way that their own particular internal 12-bit timing runs, Canon-shot 12-bit tapes may give the audio drifting out-of-sync a little on single clips which are longer than 20 minutes. This shouldn't be apparent on ordinary short clips, but if you've shot, say, a school play or concert as a single take on a Canon in 12-bit audio mode, the audio may slowly go out of sync after 20 mins, and would need correcting in iMovie or FCE.
Can't comment on Chapter Markers in DVD Studio vs. iDVD ..I've never had any trouble with Chapter Markers.
"..always max out on RAM.." ..more RAM usually helps; the most noticeable improvement is when jumping up from, say, 256MB to anything above that. The next jump, from 512MB to 1GB is also useful, but doesn't provide such a spectacular improvement as that first increase. More RAM generally means that your Mac has less need to swap things from RAM to "virtual memory" on your hard disc, so less "disc thrashing" as material's repeatedly swapped back and forth, and greater speed of access if you're not constantly reading to and writing from the hard disc.
Fitting a second internal disc, in Macs which can take it, and putting your movie project on that ..or on an external disc, as you suggest.. also relieves "disc thrashing" and any instances of the OS trying to get access to the hard disc at the same time as the movie program wants access.
To stop any delays in accessing an external hard disc, as soon as you've reformatted it to 'Mac OS Extended' (..using Disk Utility..) then open System Prefs, and the 'Spotlight' preference, and then click the 'Privacy' tab, and drag the external disc's icon into the big square space which is labelled "Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations". That stops Spotlight indexing every video clip which you import onto the external disc, which can slow down disc access.
The cup-of-tea icon is a good thing to click on every now and again, in both iMovie and FCE. That lets you stop editing for a while, have tea and biscuits, and come back refreshed, with new ideas..!

Long delay selecting Application or Document in Finder column view.

MacBook
OS 10.4.11
In the Finder in column view when I select an application or a document (folders are fine) the rainbow pinwheel comes up and it takes a minute or two to show the item in the preview pane. Once there it works.
Also, when I am in an App like MAIL and I want to attach a file to an email I encounter the same delay when I navigate to the item I want to attach.
This all began when I bought and installed Final Cut Express and did all the recommended software updates from SOFTWARE UPDATE.
On a related note, FCE has an odd little bug that makes the first few frames of a clip solid green. Not sure if that's related or not.
So there you have it. As far as I can tell I've installed everything properly and SOFTWARE UPDATE says I'm good to go.
Your help is appreciated.

Hi brudly, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

MBP 13" 2.66 or MBP 15" 2.53 for FCE?

About to scoop up a MBP. Was thinking of getting a 13" 2.66, gonna use FCE for basic video stuff for work. Nothing too mind blowing.
A user here suggested that I go to the middle 15" 2.53 not just for screen real estate, but because the 13" MacBook Pro has the shared graphics memory.
I talked to Apple and they suggested that same thing. Am I just being upsold or is this a solid investment. I have no problem going to the 15" 2.4, simply for the I-5, but may be stepping up a bit more in price for the 15" 2.53 than I am comfortable with. Am I going to REALLY need to?
Thanks!

As a general rule, when I buy a laptop, I wait until the last possible moment,
then purchase the least expensive 15". The difference in clock speed is not
that important. If I were buying the current lineup, I would definitely
add the high resolution non-glossy display option. Screen real estate
makes a huge difference in work effectiveness.
If you're trying to keep the price to a minimum, you could delay purchasing
AppleCare, and you could maybe skimp on the RAM and hard disk,
since you can always upgrade those later.
In any case, take your time. Wait until you know exactly what you want
before you cross that (sandy) bridge.

Unable to capture DV to FCE, apple support told me a PC is the way forward!

Hi there
I recently bought an apple imac with a view to editing DV footage taken previously.
I had captured some of these tapes on to a PC before buying an imac. These files I was able to edit on FCE and imovie (once I had transferred them from the pc hard drive). HOWEVER although I could control my DV camera through imovie and FCE none of my old DV tapes could be captured to the imac. An error message states that the frame rate is incorrect.
I have apple care protection and have spent ages trying to get support for this only to be told by apple support that FCE and imovie will not capture my old DV tapes! The support person told me that I should go back to a PC if I want to do the job properly!
Unfortunately I have just spent thousands on this very nice looking imac (and FCE) that is apparently unable to do the most basic capturing. Does anybody have any ideas (other than going back to pc) for getting my DV footage captured?
Needles to say I have found all this incredibly frustrating as a new apple user. Are these sorts of issues common to imacs?
cheers

Hey Rich,
thanks for getting back to me,
I shot tape previously (in 2000) on a sony mini DV camcorder set to SP. I have since bought a new sony mini DV camcorder (DCR-HC40 NTSC).
With the new camera and a PC I was able to capture my 2000 tapes and edit them. I was also able to edit the earlier footage I had transffered from my PC hard drive to the i-mac on i-movie and FCE.
Unfortunatley everytime I have tried to capture my old tapes directly onto the i-mac I have had the message "preview disabled" from FCE and the following from i-movie:
"The camera is sending half-sized frames, which iMovie can’t accept. Check your camera’s record mode (this is the setting that affects recording quality, which determines the total recording time on a tape). The mode must be set to “SP” or “LP.” If that doesn't help, try removing all the cables and batteries from the camera, wait a minute, replace them, and then reset the date, time, and record mode."
I have spent weeks on the support site and found a thread that recommended re-installing quicktime etc but nothing has worked.
I connect to the i-mac via firewire and am able to control the camera, capture my newly recorded miniDV's (so it is not a problem with the proprietary software application etc) but nothing seems to work for my old tapes.
Apple support told me that apple doesn't do older miniDV's and that a pc would be the only way I could capture my tapes. I couldn't believe it! Unfortuatley I no longer have access to my old pc.
Any ideas? Is there any other way of getting DV onto my i-mac?
And thanks for your interest in my problem here

Preview of loops has effect on it (digital delay)??

Previewing my drum loops (all music loops actually) ... I'm picking up digital delay. Where is it coming from?
When I drag the loop to the arrange window the effect is still there ... even though there is no effect assigned to that particular audio track.
I'm just getting up to speed on this Logic update. So I'm at a loss. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.
Ben

Aha!!
This is only happening when I am using the beat mapping. I have a piece of audio I've 'beat-mapped'. Now I want to add a loop to it. But the loop previews, and the loops when I add them to the audio track, have some weird digital delay effect on them.
This isn't happening if I'm NOT doing a beat map. Everything is normal.

Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

Good Day Experts,
I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
For example,
The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
Your assistance will be appreciated,
Thanks
Regards
Dario

To delay a program submitted in background from another transaction.

Hi All,
There are 2 programs 'A' and 'B' . During execution of 'A' , 'B' is called and submitted in background using FM Job_open & Job_close and submit query.
My requirement is to Delay the Program 'B' by 2-3 mins without delaying Program 'A' .
I tried using FM JOB_OPEN export condition sdlstrttm   = w_starttm but was of no help.
I also tried using statement wait up to 120 seconds but this also makes wait to program 'A'.
Please suggest solutions to this.

How can I eliminate delays in one NIC when there is traffic on second NIC

Using LabVIEW TCP/IP VIs, my LV application is accessing a database though a LAN, and through a second NIC, it is controlling an instrument. The instrument is connected directly to the computer NIC with a cross-over cable. I have made a permanent route for the IP address of the instrument in the IP route table. The LAN and the instrument have different subnet numbers. Using a packet sniffer, I don't see any traffic meant for the LAN going to the NIC connected to the instrument. The OS of the computer is Windows XP and the NICs are PCI cards.
The message traffic to the instrument suffers from intermittent delays when there is traffic going to the LAN.
How can I eliminate the delays? What could be the cause of the delays? Thanks in advance for your recommendations and suggestions.

Hi LabBard,
Could you tell us a little more about the device that you are connected to? What you could try is to have a VI accessing the LAN, and a separate VI communicating with the instrument, and see how things play out.
Let us know how it goes!
