FCE issues: editing audio, displaying video frames

Hello friend.
How do I display the video frame in the timeline? I have selected it but all it shows are a bunch of boxes with Xs in them. Why?
Also, I want to manipulate the audio in this clip but I don't see where you do that. I see the waveforms and I click on them to modify them, but nothing happens.
thanks!

If you want to see a Filmstrip of every single frame select Filmstrip in the Timeline Options and while you are looking at the timeline hold down Command and + for a few seconds.
Double-click the audio track and it will open the Audio Editor in the Viewer.

How to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping?

how to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping? in premiere pro cs6

You need to give more information about what you want to happen to the audio when you freeze or time remap the associated video.
Is it synch video?
Is it music?
Is it Voice?
Generally .. you have to cut and design the audio around the video effect.

FCP 7, issue with dual display (video frozen but audio plays)

I have just installed FCP 7 (Studio 3) onto a new MacPro 8-core with Radion5770 GFX card.
Primary monitor is running via DVI, secondary monitor is running via DisplayPort to HDMI.
My problem is that if i enable the secondary display so that I get a full screen image from the timeline and then attempt to play the video remains frozen whilst the audio plays.
Its the same on the primary display video viewer window as well.
If I TURN OFF the secondary display then the video viewer on the primary window returns to normal play back without any issues.
If I turn the seconday display back on, then "scratch" along the timeline then the video refeshes corectly - but every time i hit play the video remains frozen.
Any ideas???

Ive found the solution.
its quite easy.
symply go to
Final Cut Pro -> Audio/Video Settings
Navigate to A/V Devices and under video select the screen your using. If your using the computers screen, like a macbooks screen make sure to check the box. "Miror on desktop". If you do not do this you will have a black frozen immage and the sound will continue playing.
I set a shortcut for "All frames" so that when I press a cmd+p it automatically plays full screen on my macbook.
Hope that helps.

Multiclip editing error message 'video frames don't match'

I basically need help figuring out how to make these video frames work together. Also, what is the easiest/quickest way without loosing quality. (I have a ton of clips to get through)
1st image is settings for the camera I'm trying to match everything to. 2nd image is the camera with the wrong settings. I've tried a few different things using the export to quicktime function as well as compressor but I must be doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance!

Just ran into the same issue...how did you solve it?
Thanks!

Issue - syncing Audio and Video Clips

Hi Friends -
Definitely, I am newbie for - editing in this application (Adobe Premier CS6) .
My idea is to sync audio and video clip - 'based on clip markers' or 'based on Audio wave' .
But, in my machine, I dont see option to 'add clip markers' (in Marker Menu) for these clips, which are supposed to merge. And, coming 'based on Audio wave' - I dont even see those options, when I select (both clips to be merged) and choose merge.
Am I missing any setting - Do I need to have any additional plugins for that? Can anyone pls. help regarding that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kireeti.

The audio option wasn't added until Premiere Pro CC.
You can set clip markers in the Source Monitor with the M key.

Lumia 920 WP8.1 upgrade issues: no audio on video ...

Hi,
I installed the Cyan/WP8.1 update on my Lumia 920 when it was made available to US AT&T customers last week.
After installing the update I've lost the ability to record audio with my video recordings and Cortana can't hear anything I say.
Details:
OS Version: 8.10.12393.890
Firmware revision number: 3051.50009.1425.2001
Radio software version: 1.0.202184.3
Chip SOC version: 8960
Audio for phone calls works fine. Audio for video recordings was working right up until I upgraded.
I've performed a hard reset and used Nokia's Software Recovery Tool. Neither restored audio functions.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Mark

hi mate if u have used NSRT and performed a hard reset there is probably nothnig u can do except to take your phone to Nokia Care or AT&T now. sorry mate.

Issues editing with Sorenson Video 3

I am editing on my Macworkbook using FCP Studio 2, I was deliverd a file of.mov files that are 640x480 compressed with Sorenson 3. The files where originaly .m2ts files shot HD. The client is trying to save time and money by doing the convertion himself. I am getting alot of quality issues especially when trying to slow motion or fast motion the clips. I was wondering if other people have experienced this problem or have any solutions. I dont want to point fingers back at the client just yet. or when I do I would like to have as much info so I can explain what went wrong. ok thanks.

.m2ts is a codec used for AVCHD files recorded by some Sony cameras. You should be able to open and convert them to QuickTime with the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com] application.
Open one of the clients converted files in QuickTime Player and press command and i keys. What codec is mentioned next to format? Is it one that is listed in FCP's Easy Setup menu?

Editing the display time for grouped objects

Hello, I am having issues editing the display time for grouped items. I am using Captivate 7 and I love how now the grouped items only show as one item in the timeline because it reduces the number of rows visiblein the timeline for each object on a slide. However, now that the grouped objects no longer individually appear in the timeline, I can't make any display adjustments to the grouped objects as a whole.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a work around? My main issue is that if I have to extend or shorten the audio for the slide, and I have assigned an advanced action to the grouped object, in order to adjust the grouped object to match the audio, I have to now ungroup, make the adjustment, regroup, then reset the advanced action using the new group name. It is frustrating and time consuming.

To expand and view the grouped items on the timeline, you need to click the Arrow symbol next to the group name. Once you expand, you can select the individual object and adjust the timings.
Alternatively, you can select the individual object of the group on the slide and adjust the timings from the Timing accordion. You can do this without ungrouping.

Audio and video playback stuttering...sometimes

I'm having issues with audio and video playback stuttering at times in several applications. It's the same kind of skipping or stuttering in each application, whether it's iTunes (version 10) or YouTube or Netflix (Safari). I can also hear it when I'm just adjusting the volume via the keyboard, the "clicks" stutter.
I'm not running anything other than iTunes and Safari at once, the iMac has 2 gbs of RAM, it's running Snow Leopard. It also will work sometimes for a while. I just can't figure out why it will work sometimes and not others. Any ideas about what the cause may be? Quicktime X have anything to do with it?

Quicktime wouldn't work either.

TIMECODES are important for audio and video sync issues

Hello, just wanted to pass on what I learned so that others can avoid the trouble that I've had to go through. Perhaps this may help someone who is stuck on the launch pad. :)
BOTTOM LINE: Info for the beginner. Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
PROBLEM: Capture works great it seems. When I go to the folder that contains the captured file and view in Windows Media Player audio and video are in sync. BUT when viewing the video asset in the source and program monitors, the audio and video are not in sync.
SOLUTION:
Before capturing a tape make certain the following is checked:
(1) Edit->Preferences->Capture->Use device control timecode
(2) Edit->Preferences->Device Control->Options->Timecode Format
(3) Project->Project Settings->General->Video->Display format
As for the devices timecode choose something other than Auto Detect. Then match the project timecode with what was chosen during capture. The projects display format could of course be set to frames.
I searched everywhere for audio and video sync issues in google, adobe forums, F1 help, and hv20.com and everyone was talking about:
(1) Presets: 1080p30 vs. 1080i30 (60i).
(2) brakes in the tape where timecode for the audio and video get misaligned during capture.
But choosing the correct hardware settings and timecodes to solve audio and video sync issues never popped up.
MY HARDWARE: Canon HV30, HDV

>Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
Must be an HDV only issue because my synch is always perfect.

16:9 Help needed. Workflow: extracted video from DVD, FCE HD edit & DVDSP.

Hi,
I have a project where according to the camera person it was shot in 16:9 with the camera (assuming a DV camcorder of some sort). It was captured from the camera and converted to a DVD (VIDEO_TS folder and everything) and sent to me for editing.
What I need help with is a workflow (and settings) to edit and output this properly.
1) My first hiccup comes in the extract. When I view the DVD that was sent to me, the video looks squished as it squeezes the video into the 4:3 aspect ratio. I was using MPEG Streamclip to extract it. I've extracted it in a 16:9 QT format and it looks fine in FCE HD. However, once I started reading more about editing 16:9 video in the FCE PDF manual, I'm wondering if I should have kept it as 4:3 and then toggled the Anamorphic setting for the sequence.
2) Once I have the correct source to edit - are there any considerations on export for compression? I read somewhere about a program to set the anamorpgic bit for iDVD, but plan to use DVDSP so I'm assuming I can skip this step. I also read in the forum about a QT Conversion setting to use. Do I need to? I was planning to export a reference movie and use Compressor with that. I was planning to use a "Widescreen" compressor option. Is this correct?
3) I know this is beyond this forum, but any advice on what settings should I use in producing the DVD? As noted above I plan to use DVDSP 3 to create the DVD, and I do notice the 16:9 settings in there for each track. I was planning to use the 16:9 Letterbox track setting. Is this correct?
Any other pitfalls I should be aware of as I navigate the 16:9 jungle?
Thanks in advance.

First, with regard to your chipset - graphics/video card:
Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset, featuring the Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 450...
Your graphics card has no video RAM (VRAM) of its own. So, it must use some of your system RAM to be able to function. This is 'dynamically allocated'. That is, your system decides how much system RAM to allocate to the graphics card. I am not aware of anyway to manually control this.
Next, you said you have installed Windows XP. Toshiba India has not posted any XP drivers for your system. Toshiba laptops are very finicky about using Toshiba 'tweaked' hardware drivers to be able to function properly. This computer is a Toshiba European version of your model, and it would appear to have a full set of XP drivers, these will work just fine in your system:
Satellite Pro C650 PSC11E Downloads
The order you load the hardware drivers and Toshiba utilities is critical. The files available for download above are all zip files, so you will have to extract the .exe files to be able to install them. Install the drivers first, then the Toshiba utilities, and given that you already have XP basically working install in this order:
1st Drivers:
1) Chipset
2) Storage Manager
3) Display
4) Sound
5) then all other XP hardware drivers
2nd Utilities:
1) Common modules
2) Hotkey utility
3) all other XP Toshiba utilities.
Good luck.

Audio and Video issue with Windows 8.1 upgrade on Ideapad n585

I upgraded my Ideapad N585 to Windows 8.1 the other day, took forever, but it made it through. Unfortunately, I now get boot erors for the Dolby software, and the AMD Vision/Catalysyt Control Center. Neither of these programs are able to start, from startup or even manually. They just won't run. Sound seems to come out fine still, but I do have video issues.
First off, my computer doesn't seem to recognize a HDtv as a monitor through the HDMI port. I still get an image, but it's set to current screen resolution instead of 1080i. I tried using the detect button to force it to look for a second monitor (my TV), but it showed nothing connected, though at the time I was using two screens. Now my monitor's screen resolution seems to be a little higher than my TV's, but it doesn't fit the screen properly, and will sometimes put a black border around the desktop, not using the full screen. I have also noticed, that when plugged into the tv, if a background program like a screen saver starts (and I am one of the few people who still use them, I like BOINC, sue me), it will reset the screen resolution to what it requires. When the program exits, the screen resolution stays, and that becomes the new max screen resolution until I restart the computer. So far, it only does this through the tv, if I run the laptop monitor alone, it doesn't happen.
I did try updating the software with what's available through the support site, but nothing happened. I even went as far as to use the Windows 9x~XP standbys of completely uninstalling, manually removing everything from the system registry I could find relating to these two programs, and then finally reinstalling the software. Giving the audio and video a complete clean slate to work from, and got no positive results. I restart the computer, Dolby and Catalyst won't boot, and blind to HDtv. Problems as described above still apply.
Anybody else have this issue? Anybody got a fix?

have you found a solution to this?
My computer updated to 8.1 without my wanting it to, I have the same problems as you. I installed the video driver because the brightness was locked on what I had it. (the bar would move but did not change)
I searched for brightness and n585 and I was able to find a driver, now brightness works but HDMI still does not. When I plug in the TV both screens go black with all 4 options in the "project" screen.
*edit*
this worked for me i stumbled across this
I unplugged the power cable with the hdmi cable plugged in. Hit (windows key+p) scrolled to duplicate and it worked.I plugged in the power cord back in and it still worked.

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates?
If not, please do so.
You have not given us enough information with which to help you.
What are the properties of your source file that is presenting in the project with audio but no video?
Quickest way to gain that information is from brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
I am looking for
video compression
audio compression
frame size
frame rate
interlaced or progressive
file extension
pixel aspect ratio
What does the file's thumbnail look like in Project Assets after it is imported....thumbnail with no image (gray), thumbnail with only an audio icon
within it, or other? On the Timeline, what do you see represented in Video 1....nothing as opposed to Audio 1 where you see the audio portion of
the file?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1? Are you running the programs as
administrator?
Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Let us start here. Based on your reply details, we will customize troubleshooting strategy for you.

Adobe Premiere Saving Issue: Returning a Video Frame

     I have Adobe Premiere Elements 4 and have edited a video on it. The video format is AVI, from a camera that didn't seem to have trouble before this. It is a Sony if that is any help. I'm really hoping it isn't CODEC problems.
     Last night I finished my project and tried to save it on my desktop as a Windows Media movie, but an error popped up saying that "Adobe Premiere failed to return a video frame." I tried other saving styles to no avail.
     Thus I began the process of googling and then trying to solve this saving error by changing my edits. I have removed all Video Effects, except for three black and white shots. I have gone through and checked that I have no gaps, about five times. I saw that my audio (in a wma format) wasn't perfectly aligned with my visuals and had gaps, so I added in audio till there was never a silent moment.
     Is that audio format (wma) acceptable?
     I am playing two soundtracks over each other, one is the vocals and one is the music. The music's format is MP3.
     I have several still shots created with the program with titles over it. At one moment I tried to put a menu on the project, but it didn't work out. When I went to try and delete my attempt, I couldn't find the menu to remove it.
     The piece is about five minutes long. I can't think of anything else to tell you.
     I'm running out of things to change. I'm afraid my CODEC is wrong and I may have to start all over (is there a way to apply a fix to a CODEC error on a project?). Having spent all day on this, I'm at a point of desperation. If I can't get it to work, I'm about to start all over in Windows Movie Maker where at least I know I can save it and turn it in tomorrow.
     Thanks

For the Audio Assets, the best that one can do is to use PCM/WAV, and use any number of audio-editing programs to convert that.
Still, your error is "Return a Video Frame." That indicates an error in the Video portion of the Timeline.
Besides gaps, do you have any overly large still images?
As for any gaps, did you use the method outlined in the linked article? They can be very hard to see, even when zoomed into the max view (Frame View).
I still did not see the CODEC of the used AVI files. Can you provide that please, as it might make a differenece?
Good luck,
Hunt
