FCP - Voice Over problem

I have a FCP system set up which includes an AJA Kona LHe card. Audio inputs are via the AJA. This includes audio from a video deck as well as other audio inputs, such as a studio condenser mic connected for voice overs. I monitor the output from FCP through the AJA card via a Samson C-Control (monitor matrix). Here's my big problem. When I'm recording voice over, whilst there is definitely an audio feed being routed to the headphones (I am able to hear the audio cue countdown), I am unable to monitor the sound from the microphone through the headphones (or speakers for that matter). The microphone is working fine... when it comes to playing back the voice over through the headphones (or speakers), I can hear the track absolutely fine. I cannot understand why this should be. Has anyone experienced the same problem... and do you know how to solve it? HELP!.... Thank you.

Thanks for responding. Where do I find the checkbox that allows playthrough? What's it called... and which menu is it in? Thanks

Premiere Pro Voice Over Problems

Hello
I am having problems recording a voice over in PP6.
I am using an external mic via a mic amp and into the line in socket on my mac.
The problem is I can't set any levels as there is nothing showing on the level meter.
I can actually record the VO no problem but need to see and preview the mic level before I start.
Any help appreciated
Paul

To add to this post...now when I record my Voice overs, when you playback in the timeline they are running at twice the speed and other times they are very distorted...
Not sure what's going on here !

Voice Over problems

I was stupid to activate the voice over function on my iPad3. In made my software react strange and finally I was locked out. When I tried to log in again using the passcode, the passcode no longer identified my input as digit and it keeps denying me access to my iPad. Voice Over requires you to tap twice. If I tap once in the passcode there is no entry. If I tap twice there is an entry but it doesnt match what I tap. Can anyone help with this?

You need to tap once to select the field (it should then get a box around it) and then double-tap tap activate/type it - so for example to type a '0' you need to tap the '0' to select it and then double-tap it to type it. You also need to use 3 fingers to scroll around screens.
You can also turn VoiceOver off by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064 (though you may need to type in your passcode on the iPad first)

IOS7 voice over problems, skipping elements

I am using voice over in my application, I build my application in iOS6 in iPhone and ipad, it is working fine whereas when i run my application in devices which supports iOS7, voice over is behaving weirdly, It is skipping some elements like button text and labels etc.,
I have gone through the similar questions in apple communties and could not found any solution for this. Please help.

Maybe you should do a new compilation with the new XCode.
Anyway, you should post in the developer forum. You won't get help here.

Using AJA IO with the FCP Voice Over Tool

Has anyone used the io with the VO tool? I have gotten it to work in the past, however, there are a number of convoluted settings to go through to get it to work. It seems intermittent. Today it doesnt want to work at all.
Does anyone have a list of the specific A/V settings, Capture presets, etc, that i need to have set in order for this to work?
FYI--I have never had a problem capturing from tape--(using log and capture with beta, digibeta, dv, vhs)--only when capturing analog audio using the VO tool.
gracias.

You can do it here, in the Audio/Video settings under the Final Cut Pro menu. Click on the Capture Presets tab, then go to Generic Capture Template, duplicate it, then edit. Give it a name that you can recognize when you need to set up your project.

Voice over and blackmagic

hello I am useing mac . I was useing finalcut pro 7 but I want to use premiere pro . i have some problems
1 voice over problem i connected centrance micport pro with usb i can see audio hardware but when i want to record it is saying eneble tracking for recording . What can i do
2. if i want to send footge with any bridge (fire wire) what can i do

so many options here but to start with basics:
using Firewire:
mic > XLR cable > XLR mic input of mixer > Firewire out of mixer > Firewire Input of Mac
using Decklink:
mic > XLR cable > XLR mic input of mixer > balanced output of mixer > balanced line in of Decklink
the mixer must have a mic input, which has an internal preamp, a line level input is no use; you need some thing like this ?

Voice-over button hangs/locks

Hello,
hope someone can help me with my voice-over problem. When I push the record button in iMovie to do an voice-over the record button locks/hangs after almost one second, the green indicator is also freezing. When I try to pusch it again the turning colored icon is started but nothing works after that. Then I have to wait for about 10 minutes before the colored icon stops and then a large voice-over track is building in soundtrack 1. This will take some time and it goes all the way with the lenght of my film. When I klik the timeline it stops.
I have also tried it with a slide show but the result remain the same.
The VU meter is working OK (green-yellow), it responds very sensitivety on my speaking.
Thanks in advance and excuses for my English.

The problem was no longer excist after the last iMovie updates.

Problem with Decklink card during voice over

Hi,
i have PMG5 2.5 GHz with FCS & Blackmagic Decklink extreme card.
all these days i had a great time working on FCP . till i faced a peculiar problem
when i am capturing video from Beta or DV 50 , i am able to select video Only or Audio only , or Video & Audio .
but when iam trying to capture Audio Only option through the the Mic which is connected to the mixer, i am not able to capture audio.
even i have noticed one more strange thing, i have tried Voice Over tool in FCP 5.04 with Decklinik card and i am not able to grab any audio through the Decklink card.
but i can use built in audio for my voiceover.
has anybody come across this kind of problem,
can somebody help me .

Hi Rajendra,
your questions is marked as solved, but I haven't seen your question answered, so I might be wasting time. Anyway.
I bumped into the same problem not long ago. I'm using a Multibridge, but the problem and solution are the same. Here's the reply I got from Kristian Lam over at Blackmagic:
In order to get vo tool in Final Cut Pro HD to work, these are the
steps to follow:
1) Video Input in Blackmagic DeckLink preferences is set to match the audio input type. For example, if you're recording via the XLR connectors of your card, then then 'Inputs' under 'DeckLink Video Connections' must set to analog. It doesn't matter if it's component or composite analog video.
2) In the View menu of Final Cut Pro HD, set External Video to “Off”. When finished with the Voice Over tool, set External Video to “All Frames” to use the broadcast monitor.
3) You must have a stable video signal going into the card when using the vo tool or Final Cut Pro HD will not see the audio. (or use a Blackburst generator)
4) Use the Displays menu to set the DeckLink desktop to the same format as the video source, eg. NTSC 720 x 486.
Well, then select your Decklink Card in the Voiceover Input selection. Even after I had done all that, I couldn't see any audio coming into FCP. The solution to that was to raise the Trim at the top of the mixer. I got a nice signal into the Mackie and voilà also sound into FCP.
Hope this helps,
Colin

FCP, Decklink Ext. & Voice Over

I´m having trouble using the voice over tool. The problem is that no audio is coming in to the fcp. It plays back video/audio to the audio booth but nothing is coming from the booth. I´m using embeded A/V on Decklink Extreme. Do I have too use analog audio to make this work??? Can FCP not use audio from the decklink when doing voice over??
Hope anyone can help me.

Ok. I contacted Blackmagic-design and It is not possible to use the voiceover tool like i want too. I have to add another audio card for this . and I quote
"The DeckLink cards either record or playback but doesn't do both simultaneously. In order to use the VO Tool in FCP, you have to:
1) View > External Video is set to "Off"
2) There is a valid video signal being sent to the card that matches your timeline.
3) Your DeckLink Video Desktop is set to the same resolution as your timeline.
4) In the VO Tool dialog, input is set to "DeckLink Audio"
Unfortunately, this means that your sound booth will not have video preview." un quote
But you do not need the voice over tool if you can’t send video from the FCP!. That is the whole idea.
If there is anyone out there that is using this like this please tell me how you are doing it
Are the Kona cards better?
Thanks

Recording a Voice Over on FCP

I never had a problem before with this. I used to go to tool, click voice over and record and I would start talking. Now when I press record an error shows up. "specified capture destination file already exists." Can somone help please????

Your version of FCP would help.
Using FCP7, I just tried the VO tool. Works so I cannot help you, sorry.
Just to be clear, you must have a sequence open.

Recording a Voice Over w Kona3 xlr in FCP 6

hello all
i've got a fcp 6 setup with a kona 3 card and want to record Voice Overs straight into the timeline but am having some difficulties getting any results.
The system is brand new and the card is installed properly but i'm not sure what i need to do to set the XLR 1-2 to be audible in FCP.
Currently my mic is cabled to XLR 1-2 and with the kona 3 control panel the Audio Input Select is AES/EBU (XLR) map channels 1-2 to 1-2. The other option is Embedded 1-16. I'm pretty sure this is correct and mapping the XLR inputs appropriately.
Within FCP my capture preset is AJA Kona3: 720p 59.94 DVCPro HD. Though i'm not sure if the capture preset effects the voice over tool.
Within the VO tool:
source: AJA Kona
Input: Aja kona (doesn't allow a specific channel)
in/outs are set on sequence. "ready to record' is displayed but i have no levels.
any insight is appreciated as i am a little green with the kona card.
Thanks
/j

I'm not sure the AES/EBU xlr inputs will work with a mic plugged directly. This is actually intended to be a digital format - see the wiki here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES/EBU
A mic plugged directly into this jack will not provide the compatible signal. I use a Kone with a breakout box that includes analog XLR inputs, but these are differentl. You may have some additional options. You need to convert the audio to digital to use the AES or "embedded" digital audio. If you have a deck connected you may bbe able to use the analog inputs on the deck as a bridge to get to the Kona.
If you are planning to use the VO tool, you may be recording scratch VO until the script is finalized... in this case, or even if this is intended to be the final audio, you can also hook up an adapter to use the Mac's built-in audio input as a source, in whic case the A/D conversion happens on the Mac's audio card.
Additionally, you can use a DV or other firewire-compatible camera as a bridge to get digital audio in via firewire.
Hope this helps -

My iMovie voice recording is suddenly not working. As I record, it shows the green bars; however, when I play the recording it does not play my voice over at all nor show the green bars. I was mid-way through my project when this problem occured.

As I record, it shows the green bars; however, when I play the recording it does not play my voice over at all nor show the green bars. I was mid-way through my project when this problem occured. HELP!!!!

As far as I can see, it's random. Everything. Nothing makes any sense!
A the moment, the iPhone is playing music with the SIM card, but without anything plugged into it, but it's occasionally fading in and out.
Oh, and I doubt this is related, but about two months ago the iPhone failed to show that the battery was draining - it was stuck at 100%. This went on for a few days, it wouldn't even warn me at the 20% mark, it would just shut off. This happened for at least three full charges - I remember at one point it suddenly started working again at about the 70% mark, I'm not sure if it was alright after that or if it went glitchy on the next charge... but in any case, the problem mysteriously never reappeared after those few days.

Where does FCP store the voice-overs/narration clips?

Just did a 'my bad'.
Just left the distant remote location where I've been editing a film for three months. Used the voice-over function on FCP extensively. But, ooops, forgot to go find the subsequent files in whatever folder FCP stores them in, and transfer them to the drive I'm now traveling with (that supposedly should have the whole film on it).
I wonder if someone could steer me to where FCP automatically stores it's voice-over files once recorded?
Would be much appreciated,
Ben

Thank you Studio X and Nick,
Duh. And silly of me not to soooo carefully go through the Capture Scratch before leaving that little island in the North Atlantic.
Now I have to remind myself how to access a computer remotely, get someone to turn on the beast parked in a beautiful little white church hanging over the North Atlantic ... with a hundred wild caribou in the meadow behind, I kid you not, every day. I could stand there and watch them from 30 feet away for hours. Cool caribou.
Much appreciated,
Ben

Cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

Try:
Share > Send Song to iTunes. In the dialog, turn OFF compress. That will create an .aiff version of your GB project.
Alternately, you can Share to iTunes. When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Create AIFF version.
When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Show In Finder -> drag it out to a more convenient location (or option-click-drag to make a duplicate in the new location you drag to.)
Import that file into FCPX.

After upgrading to ios7 I can't open email attachments when I turn on voice over in accessibility. How can I solve this problem??

With the new ios7 upgrade I have noticed that some accessibility features are not as strong. In emails I am now unable to open attachments as although I can see them at the bottom of the email when I touch on them voice over reads the paragraph above and does not allow me to open the attachment. Is this a glitch still to be sorted or can someone help me solve it??

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
