FCP Audio Issue Beeping Tone - Trouble converting to AIFF from .DV files

Hi!
I am recutting a couple projects that exist only as dvd's and dmg files. I converted them all to .DV files using MPEG Streamclip (they are married audio video files). I brought them in to FCP (drag and drop) and all of the audio plays fine in the viewer or when scrubbing, but when I bring clips into the timeline they just have that beeping tone. I am assuming it is because the files do not have AIFF audio, but I have no idea how I might go about converting it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Lucy

ok ok.... i can render it and the audio comes through. but i cant seem to find an import setting in either program that prevents this.

Trouble converting a catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album into Elements 9

I have looked all over and found instructions for converting a catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album into Photoshop Elements 9, but it does not see my catalog? I have tried selecting it by clicking "Find More Catalogs" and I select the folder containing the catalog but it does not show up and the option to "Show Previously Converted Catalogs" is disabled? I am quite frustrated, as the entire reason for purchasing Adobe Photoshop Elements was to be able to import my old Photoshop Album catalog. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestion, I have tried converting the catalog from the psa file as well as restoring from the psb (backup) file and neither one is working on my new computer. It partially converts the catalog from Photoshop Album (PSA) 2 but then all the file links are broken in Photoshop Elements (PSE) 9. I have about 10,000 photos in this catalog, so it is a lot of files. I still have my old computer so I tried installing PSE 9 on it and then it converted the PSA catalog fine, so I backup up the PSE 9 catalog on my old computer and tried doing a restore from this backup on my new computer and same thing, only some of the files come through.

FCP Audio Issues

For some reason I have an AIFF audio file in my project whose volume is constantly increased at a point in my edit. I have not increased the volume at this point yet even when I replace the audio track completely and re-render it still does the same thing.
Is this a bug in FCP? It feels like it.

I'm using a 2ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 5gb ram.
OSX 10.5.6
FCP 6.0.5
QT Pro 7.5.5
My sequence settings are 720x480, NTSC DV(3.2), NTSC CCIR601, Lower Even, 29.97, DVCPRO, audio: 16-bit, 48khz
The AIFF file is 16-bit 48khz
The video codec being used in the timeline is 720x480, 29.97, Lower Even, DVCPRO50, 48khz, 16-bit
There are a total of 8-tracks of audio.
No filters on audio or video.
The video and audio are being monitored directly from the system. No cards.
Let me know if there is anything else you need.
Thank you!

Trouble converting PowerPoint 2007 to PDF file

In the past I used Adobe Acrobat 8 to convert my PowerPoint 2003 files to PDF files and it always decreased the file size of my document. I now have PowerPoint 2007 and I tried to convert a PPT file to a PDF file and it made my document about 5 times larger than it originally was! I have no idea how to fix this. Also, I am wondering if this is an issue for converting Word 2007 documents to PDF as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It may depend on the contents of the PPT. I find that the size is typically 3 times smaller for the limited cases I have done. There are some other issues that I ran into with the way that PPT wouls split the graphics into parts when creating the PDF. It did not happen with OFFICE 2003. If you could post an example of a PDF, it might help. Bill

Trouble converting movies into ipod compatible files

I just got quicktime pro and I'm trying to convert movie files into files that can be played on my ipod... the files are changing into M4V files and can be played on my ipod but they have no sound.. can anyone help me fix this?

Before you can convert the file must play without errors in QuickTime.
If the file is MPEG-1 you'll need to use the free MPEG Streamclip app to convert to iPod settings.

IPod touch audio issue: why do I only get sound from one channel in my ear-pods?

After upgrading my brand new iPod touch 5th generation to IOS 6.1.2 I only get sound from the right channel of my ear-pods.
I did not have this issue with IOS 6.1.1. Is this a problem derived from new IOS? Any idea on how to solve it?
Appreciate your help!

Have you tried other headphones? If you confirmned it is an iPod problem:
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

Converting Company Logo from PDF file to...

Forum,
I had my company logo emailed to me as a PDF file. Can somebody please tell me what I need to convert this to in order to:
1) Use as a background on my desktop?
2) and this is a big one - be able to resize it so it doesn't look to visibly small on the tv/computer screen during playback of the end product?
Thank you very much,
Trey

Hey Trey, How's things?
Open the pdf in Preview. Hit the command and + keys till you get the size you want.
Press shift command and 3 to make a screenshot. It will land up on your Desktop with the name Picture1.
Open the result in Preview and crop off any menus.
Save and drag it to Hard Drive/Library/Desktop Pictures.
Open System Preferences > Desktop & Screensaver > Desktop.
Locate and double click your picture to set it as your background.
For the second part of your question, make a copy of Picture1 (command D) and import it into FCP. Use the scale control to adjust if needed.

Can anyone help me, is there any problems in the setting of my workstation?

The problem is that your postscript file is using fonts Distiller cannot find. You have the list of fonts that Distiller wants. Locate them and notify Distiller by using the menu item Settings -> Font Locations

The audio goes BEEP BEEP BEEP instead of playing the soundtrack

Hello again, from me who am still a newbie.
I have some footage taken on a different camera from mine, in DV not HD fomat, PAL still, which was imported using iMovie 08 and which plays happily in that sw. In FCE when I play it in the viewer it's all fine. If I select a part, and put it on the timeline, and then play bthe timeline I get BEEP BEEP BEEP instead of hearing the people speaking, as I can in the viewer.
What am I doing wrong?
Secondly- if I may - once I can hear the voices and not the beeps, I need to rip out the soundtrack and convert it to mp3. What would be the best way to do this?
TIA

First I'd try rendering the audio. Sequence -> Render All -> Audio. But, if you're going to be working with the audio track, you should make the file match FCE's needs.
Now, that you ask, I don't think I've ever done this. I just did a quick test and this worked for me. De-link the audio and video tracks by clicking the small green chain icon on the right side of the timeline. It's just above the video tracks. Then single click the audio track you want to work one. From the File -> Export -> Quicktime movie. Name your file. Then open the file in Audacity and save it as a 48,000 Hz AIFF file. Back in FCE, import and place the audio track where you need it.
I did not try this, but I think it'll work if you have FCE version 3.5 and Soundtrack. From the file menu, export as a Soundtrack file. Make the changes in Soundtrack and the file should be automatically changed in FCE.

When i try to upload a .mts file from my Sony camera to Premiere Pro CC it refuses to play the audio! Ofcourse i could convert every single clip but it takes tons of time. How can i make Pr play audio track properly?

Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

Audio issues after converting a media file to WMV

Hello,
I am using the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 version, on a PC (windows Vista).
An issue often occures after converting a media (video + audio) into Windows Media format : once the conversion is over (after 2 - 3 hours for a 1 hour media file), the audio cannot be heard : we can only hear a very annoying bip all along the video.
This is currently the third time I am trying to make this conversion, each time I have to wait for the end of the conversion (3 hours) to notice that the sound is not correct, so I have to run the conversion once again.
Do you have clues concerning this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Thomas Drouault
If you are using Premiere Elements 11 on Windows Vista 32 or 64 bit, it is a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit system and a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit system. As such, the maximum supported installed RAM is 4.0 GB of which 3.0 GB or less are available. But we will put that aside for now.
What are the properties of your source media and what project preset are you setting? Please give the details of the Publish+Share/Computer/Windows Media preset as well as the settings under the presets Advanced Button/Video and Audio tabs. Of specific interest are the combo of video and audio codecs.
Please confirm that you are saying that the problem does not exist for playback of the rendered Timeline in the Edit Mode Monitor prior to the Windows Media export.
Thanks.

Trouble converting Mac Quicktime audio files for Windows ITunes

I tried convereting them to AAC files on the import. They seemed to "play" but there was no audio. I then did MP3 conversion and got MPEG files with the same results. Grateful for any help.

quicktime files themselves are compatible between OSs. Unless you are trying to read a Mac formatted disc with a Windows machine. try burning to CD the reading with other system.

The audio track beeps on playback...

The audio track beeps on playback, however when I scroll I can here the dialogue. What's the issue?

Your audio is an MP3. FCP doesn't work with them. Convert to AIFF 48kHz/16 Bit. You can do this in Compressor, QT or iTunes.

Audio Issues with MacBook Pro (Late 2008)

I am seeing an occasional issue with my MacBook Pro (Late 2008). The Audio will go out... and instead you will just hear static-like clicking sounds when and audio even happens. For example... when you have the up/down volume notification on... and you change the audio volume.. you hear clicks. Or... when you open up a file that has audio.. you will hear the static-like click when the audio starts to try to play.
The work around per-se is to completely shutdown and turn the notebook back on. A simple restart does not seem to fix it... it looks like the system needs to have a bit of energy drain first. Which... worries me that this is a hardware issue and not a driver issue.
Wondering how many others are seeing this???

I went to and Apple Support Center last week and I asked some questions about audio because my MBP was having troubles too. The tech told me audio issues are very frequent on these machines and sometimes you have to change a part of the soundcard. He also added you have to bring the MBP to a support center if you're having the problem several times - in my case I'm waiting the next "crash" since I had only 2 issues so far... If you're under warranty go for a check up and see if it really needs assistance. Goodbye
