FCE camcorder/ audio capture message

I've recently upgraded to FCE 3.5, and now, whenever I download from my camera, an error message states "The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
Okay, however, I cannot find any instructions on how to do this. I've not changed any thing on my camera, so what can be the issue, and where might I find how to fix it.
Appreciate the help. There are few lifelines in western KY.

Thank you for that answer. However, what if my material is 48k and I've somehow changed FCE to look for 32k media? This is something that's just started to happen, so something is different, as FCE read fine from my VX-1000 (Sony prosumer, circa 1995) just a few weeks ago.
Any ideas?

DigiVox A/D - Cannot render audio capture

Hello, i have DigiVOX A/D. I configured it and I can watch TV. But when I try to capture it, there is a "Cannot render audio capture" message. I tried a lot of parameters changes but nothing helped. Can you please help?
Juso

So I did some more testing. Now it works this way:
I can watch TV and it works OK. When I click capture it doesn't work and it writes error message "Cannot render audio capture". I go to settings and setup to capture only audio. I try to capture. I do some more modifications. It still doesn't work. But on some point of configuration (I could't find exaxtly when) the sound stops during watching. And if I try to capture at that time, it captures OK with audio and video. It doesn't matter whether I use Mpeg 2 or Mpeg 4. Both works. So I think codecs are OK. And it works so (no audio during watching and good audio and video during capture) till I close the application. When I start it again, there is sound when watching and error when clicking capture button. And again I can do some settings modification (random) and after some config steps it start capture but stops audio while watching.

"Audio Capture Device not selected" message? Help please!

Howdy folks,
I just got a new PC, Windows 7 OS, I've installed ManyCam and version 3.2 of FME and am looking to broadcast again. I don't recall this issue with my old PC (XP OS, Broadcaster StudioPro virtual cam and FME 2.5). I updated to 3.2 as suggested/recommended in previous posts, but I am getting a message telling me to "please select audio capture devise connected to your system." What am I doing wrong or might there be something that I need to download that I missed?
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. I truly loved using FME 2.5 but am doing like you suggest here.
Peace,

Hello -
My problem was fixed by setting a recording devise in my "sound" menu.
What I did was -
1. Open the sound menu from the control panel.
2. clicked on the recording tab.
3. Chose "Stereo Mix - Realtek High Definition Audio" as my default device.
That solved it. It was almost too simple. Hope this helps you!

NO audio capture when importing imovie to FCE

I am following the Apple tutorials to get me started on FCE, but have fallen down at the 1st hurdle.
When I import a saved XML file from imovie into FCE there is no audio capture.
I am getting the video/clip audio but I have added music from itunes to my imovie's as well and nothing seems to be coming across I just get a red line across the top of the clips and a bleeping noise.
Anyone have any ideas?.
Thanks

Hi there,
This "red line" and "bleeping noise" are generally signs that the audio does not match your sequence within FCE. FCE can only edit natively AIFF files at either 48kHz or 32kHz. Music from iTunes is not AIFF, so FCE needs to render out the audio to play it.
So here's what I'd do:
1. Click Option-R to render everything out. Chances are this may solve your problem.
2. If this doesn't help, it may be because it is iTunes music and FCE doesn't let you use copyrighted material. For a way around this issue, look over this link:

Audio captured disabled

Okay, I'm new to this so take it easy on me.
I am working with FCE-HD 3.5, and I have an older camcorder Panasonic PV-DV4000 and I'm using the DV-NTSC easy setup. The capture features were working fine, but (and I don't know what changed) now I cannot capture audio from my camcorder. When I look in the System Settings - Scratch Disks - the audio capture click box is checked but it is disabled. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Patty. I was researching this forum to find postings on exactly this same issue. I found a related post under the topic "Audio Only Capture problem". (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=616689&tstart=165)
In that topic, Ian gives a link to a solution doc that seemed to fix the issue by Trashing a few FCE preference files:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93690
The solution above is catered to FCE 2.0. Though I'm using FCE 3.5, I was able to extract what I needed, it fixed the issue I was having.

Validating audio data message

My Audio is out of sync on capture, if I cancel the validating audio data message it seems to be fine. Any help would be great as I would like to know what I'm doing wrong. Never seen this message in 5 years of editing in FCP

12 bit. Haven't been having any audio problems with FCE. However, I tried the nightmare iDive and never got audio (much less anything else) to work with that. So I uninstalled it and asked for my money back.

Audio Capture Scratch Files Disappeared....

But not all of the audio files are missing. Can't quite figure it out as some of the originals within the same audio capture scratch folder still exist.
Any thoughts.
FYI: Things were cool until I tried to digitize some new video when a message popped up asking if I'd like to add, continue or abort from reconnecting some 26 missing files. I think I hit continue which may have erased some things. They can't be lost forever, right?
In the meantime--I've restored the project today to settings saved from when all was good yesterday. Also, have adjusted and readjusted capture scratch settings in batch capture mode. However, this provided no new results.

You can import audio files into FCE from any location
on any HD. The audio file itself could be in your
iTunes music folder but if so, I suggest making a
duplicate copy of the song file in some other folder
(your choice, your location, your folder name) to
minimize the risk of accidently messing up something
in your iTunes music folder.
You could even drag a copy of the file from the
Finder into the FCE Browser. Once it's in the FCE
Browser, you can drag the music file onto one of your
audio tracks.
The ideal format is AIFF, 16-bit, stereo, 48Khz.
Truly thanks for that. But... In order to convert the iTunes file to the above, I have to go to the iTunes Pref. window and the folder location field, click the Change button and navigate to the "project's audio media folder"... But I don't have, can't find or don't know how to make that folder. So I can't specify the destination. I'd love to drag/drop, but the format won't be AIFF, 16 bit 48kHz.
When I read the manuals instruction for importing directly from a CD, it also says to drag the files into my "project's audio media folder", so I'm back to the same problem. I guess I could try dragging from the CD directly to my browser, and I will, but even if that works for now, I need to understand what/where/how to create the audio media folder, as I fear I'm missing a basic understanding here.
And why is there no Audio Capture Scratch folder showing in the FCE doc folder? Even if this unrelated and irrelevant, I'm still puzzled about that. I'd appreciate any clues here. Thanks again.

System Settings-Audio Capture

In FCE, trying to capture VHS via DV converter box. The sound is not coming over. In system settings/scratch disk (internal hard drive) the audio capture is grayed out. Analog RCA composite video & stereo audio connectors in place. How do I get my sound?

You can't get audio during capture as firewire has control.
Use the audio from the play device if you need to hear what's happening. You will notice latency on the FCE capture window, that's normal as well.

Audio Capture problem

When Capturing from a DV device on to final cut express HD, only audio is "caught". When I checked the scratch bin the audio selection was disabled (like, the check-bow was dimmed and unable to be changed). I'd like to be able to capture audio without using the voiceover feature and having to completely match audio with video. Ya dig?
Thank you (for at least reading this)!

then why is FCE capturing video but not audio. all the settings are correct, the only thing i fan find wrong is the "audio capture" check box in sratch disk settings under system settings is nulled to where you can't do anything to it. So, unless it's normally like that, I'd say it has something to do with the way it captures audio.
so, please tell me that has nothing to do with it so I can find another reason why it won't capture audio.

Audio capture support won"t install in CD spin doctoris there something I need to know?

How do I install audio capture support? I/m getting an error message: The Installation Failed. Does anyone know of a solutioon?

AFAIK, CD Spin Doctor requires Toast Titanium 9. The latest CE Spin Doctor that works with it is 5.0.4. Once you launch it, the first window that pops up is this.

Audio capture scratch for iTunes import/48kHz convert

Working in first FCE HD project. I want to import an additional music track from iTunes. Following the manual's instructions for converting iTunes files to 48 kHz for import, it says to "navigate to the project's audio media folder". In the external hard drive's doc folder it shows all the necessary folders there except Audio Capture Scratch ( which was default checked and unselectable in Settings prior to the initial video/audio capture of existing commercials, etc. from a deck).
Apparently setting up this Audio Capture Scratch as a destination that shows in the FCE docs window must be done after the initial set-up. (?) If so, I can't find how to do it. According to what I've been reading, though, the Audio Capture Scratch should already be among the 7 folders (Capture scratch, Render files, Audio render files, etc.) but it's the only one missing. Is this even related? Can audio be imported directly to the project as opposed to the ext. drive?
Question is... Should that in fact be the destination folder? Or do I need to create an "audio media folder" for this project? If so, how? I've not found anything in FCE Help or the Brenneis manual.
Thanks for any help on what must be a basic conceptual hole in my limited mental model.

Audio Capture not available / grayed out

I have a Samsung SC-D263 connected and when I try to capture video in FCE there is no audio. When looking in the settings, the check box for audio capture is grayed out... any ideas?
I managed to find drivers for the camera, but i don't know how to install them...

What audio checkbox are you talking about?
Do you see the video in the capture window? Do the meters move?

Weird Audio Capture

Lately I've had trouble with DV audio capturing from our camcorder. Instead of 48 kHz, the audio will be something like 48,010.4 Hz. This happens most often on long captures (half hour or more). This is a major pain, because the fix is to render the clip on a 48 kHz timeline, then export it.
Any ideas what the problem could be and how to fix it?
Thanks, gurus.

There have been a number of instances reported here (on the forum) of Sony and Canon cameras with audio drifting.
The only real solutions are:
1. Capture in short (5-10 min) segments to minimize the drift effect (Jim's suggestion)
2. Re-conform the audio after capture (what you are doing)
3. Try a different camera that works in DVCAM format. DVCAM locks the audio and video together - so no drift.
Good luck.

4 channel audio capture

Does final cut express cpautre 4 channel audio as i have to a use radio mic and the onboard mic, how does it appear on the timline .
john
camera..xl1s

No, you cannot capture four channels. That was the question you asked. You can capture two channels. If you have one mic going into each of the two channels that make up the first pair you can capture them. Many cameras allow you to use 32k audio and record four channels, two stereo pairs. FCE will not capture the second stereo pair.

Stuck in audio capture only

Sorry, this is urgent, no time to search. Somehow going into capture mode, "audio capture only" got selected. I don't know how to deselect and cannot find anything in Help. How do I get back to capturing Video and audio?
Using FCE 3.5.1

Dumping the final cut express plist preferences did not work. What did work was dumping all user prefernces related to FCE.
