FCP5 and Sound drops/pops

Hello,
We captured footage from mini-DV tapes using FCP5. The footage on those tapes was recorded in 24p normal during production.
We captured the said footage with the NTSC Easy Set-Up in FCP5, before doing a pulldown with Cinema Tools.
The footage we got was at 23.98fps.
Good.
... until we started to notice sound drops and pops in some of the captured footage -- drops and pops which do not exist on tape.
Why are we getting the bad sound quality?
Did we miss something?
Thank you.

- The media is stored in a special folder called "23.98fps files" on our drive, a 400G Glyph.
That folder is the folder from which we imported the files we're editing in FCP5.
- The project file itself is located in its own folder, the one that contains the scratch disk.

Pixelation and sound drop on On Demand menu only

I am a new customer. When I select On Demand from the remote, the menu loads, however, upper-right quarter of the screen (that displays video previews, etc) is completely pixelated/blocky and the sound drops. This does not occur on my bedroom STB. I've ordered a few 30 minute On Demand items from the affected box and the pixelation does not seem to occur, though I fear something is clearly wrong if the menu video is messed up.
I've reseated and changed the coax from the wall to the STB in question with no results. I've also reseated all the connections at the splitter coming off the OTB. Anyone else ever experience this?

Having the same problem myself. Have reset everything, checked the connections and only have the problem with VOD.

Video and sound interupting every minute or so.

I am so aggrivated with my service. The picture and sound drop out and back on every minute or so. It happens so much it is impossible to watch television comfortably. I have tried using HDMI cale and have tried installing standard cabeling. I am still in my contract and need help. I sent emails to Verizon and got back generic emails. I have talked to friends around the country and they have the same problem. I can't believe that Verizon is so lax about doing something about this. People have the right to expect a better level of service than this especially for what the service costs every month. I would switch to directv but when I asked about that today I was only given the ability to change my programming within the FIOS service.

I'm having the same problem. I checked on other entries in the forum and apparently you have to change the feed from 1080i to 720p. That's not a very good solution though since Verizon advertises "crystal clear HD in full 1080i." There have been alot of other posts about this but nobody from Verizon has ever responded. Is there any word on this from Verizon on when they will fix this? I must say the problem is very frustrating and makes it almost impossible to watch TV without getting angry. I never had this problem with Comcast.
Again, Verizon, is there a solution to this problem that does not involve downgrading your HD feed?

My 24" IMac freezes and makes a popping sound in the speakers. What could be wrong?

Good afternoon
I have an early 2008 24" imac, 2.8GHz Intel cor 2 duo, mountnain lion 10.8.2. From time to time it suddenly stops, and makes a popping noise from the speakers and then the computer is frozen, i have to press the power button. This is now happening more often, at first i thought it might be flash as it use to happen on youtube videos, but today it froze whilst usling skype.
I read on the forms, but my problem is not exactly as the ones on forums.
Does anyone have this problem? Could it be the harddrive failing. I did a clean install of mountain lion last night and it happened still, the hard drive is a 320gb Hitatchi
Thanks
I have included a youtube link of what it looks and sounds like.

You should try whats called a smc reset, look up HT3964 it should help, what you do is turn the imac off unplug the power cord from the back and hold down the power button for about 15 seconds then release and plug it back in.
If that doesnt work try a pram reset, HT1379, just google the number and it will pull up.

Sound Dropping Out in Monitors and Timeline (R3D and .wav files in 5.5) - More RAM Needed?

Hi there,
I have an HP desktop that I’ve edited two feature films on, the first shot on the HVX200 (edited with CS4) and the second shot on the Canon 5D (edited with CS5). About to edit a new feature, shot at 4K on the Red Scarlet, using CS5.5.
I THINK I know what needs to happen here, but basically, at anything higher than 1/8 resolution, the footage is playing back slow, and then, when I synch up with my .wav sound files, the sound is dropping out after a second (unless I scale to frame in the timeline only, in which case the render bar goes from red to yellow and the sound remains, even if the picture is still choppy). Basically married image and sound will not play back properly unrendered.
So, I guess what I’m asking is: does this sound like a RAM issue? Should I go for 16? I currently have 8. There’s a lot going on on this computer. (Specs are below.)
One final question, albeit a more minor one: why does the frame Fit properly in the Source Monitor but need a Scale to Fit instruction every time to fill the Project Monitor? Is there a way to make an entire Sequence Scale to Fit permanently?
Again, my computer specs are below.
Thanks!

There is still not enough ram in the listed PC, and the 530 is a poor choice. Nvidia list the memory type as DDR3, where you want a card with DDR5. You can get a suitable system for close to the price that is listed. You want to look at Harms hardware guide, and likely shop a custom builder.
You want
CoreI7 or high end I5
Minimum 12 gb memory for HD editing
Minimum 2 physical drives (system & media)
gtx card with at least 1gb ddr5 memory.( I would shop for more memory for 4K footage ) The more CUDA core, the better.
I spent a little more than you or I really wanted to spend on my CS5.5 box $1400 However it works brilliantly.
Core I5 2500k
16gb memory
2x 74GB 10K raptor drives raid0 system drives
2TB media drive
GTX 560Ti 1GB with 384 CUDA cores.
You could shave this system down to under $1k for something that works great.
The GTX555 seems like the base level card to me. A GT or lower spec card might be a gamble.
Look at gamer machine builders rather than prebuilt desktops. They let you choose parts. That is where to start shopping.

I can hear people on call but sometimes they can't hear me, it maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

I have an Iphone 4 13.5 GB, iOS 7.1.2. Currently when I make a call or someone calls me, I can hear people on call perfectly but sometimes they can't hear me. It maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

VOD Sound drop at commercials and does not return when TV show resumes

i've noticed that there are other customers experiencing this problem and I have not seen any response from COmast support.When playing a TV-Show from On-Demand, the sound drops when a commerical starts and does not return when the TV Show resumes.A reenct example: Walking Dead 515.Yes, I have called comcast support to report it.Of course they wanted me to go through the standard drill - Power Off/On; Refresh Signal; etc. with no result...The problem occurs on series, e.g. - Walking Dead 515; Grey's Anatomy; It happens after the episode has been in the On Demand listing for about a week.It seems that the sponsors are no longer paying for the commercial, so the sound drops when the commercial comes on.However, the sound does not come back when the commercials end and the show comes back on.Stopping playback and starting at that point returns the sound, but, - oftentimes, the counter doesn't advance correctly in the Recently Viewed listing, so you end up starting back to the last time you stopped it. This is clearly a bug on the back-end, and I don't expect it to be fixed until enough people complain and Comcast Support replicates the problem observes it for themselves.

I have this EXACT problem on Anthony Bourdain's show Parts Unknown and the Last Ship. As soon as it hits the advertizement sound drops and continues as dropped. Pausing and restarting the program completely after exit regains sound but as soon as it hits another commercial it goes out again. The counter problem makes this option only good for a few times. Then it resets back.

My facetime doesnt work. If I call somone they see I call but when they accept it doesnt work and when they call me the green camera light turns on but no sound or pop up of the video chat screen appears, please help! Macbook pro user. MacBook Pro, OS X M

I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation. My computer did have the faulty part you linked to. I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager. Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge. They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test. They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above. I've never had this experience before. Even brand new, I got occasional crashes. Hopefully this new trend continues.
I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow. Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed. Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

Hi hierge, is this happening on both of your boxes or just the RNG150N (the bigger box of the two)?
Thank you

I dropped my iPhone 5 into my glass of water last night. (fully submerged)and i left it in a bag of rice overnight.I turned it on at 3:00 afternoon and thebuttons and soundis working as far as I know,but the touch screen isnt what do I do?? please help

I dropped my iphone 5 into a glass of water last night. Fully submerged. I put it in a bag of rice overnight and took it out and turned it on at about 3:00 this afternoon just to check on it. The buttons and sound were working, as far as I know, but the touch screen would not work at all... WHAT DO I DO??

Turn it off and put it back in the rice for 2-3 days. Do NOT turn it on or attempt to charge it. Turning it on when it was not fully dry may have already done additional damage.
Even if you had let it dry completely before turning it on, there is no guaranty that the outcome would have been any different, though.

Sound drops off when using hdmi outport to connect computer to an AV reciever

Satellite M640,I5 2410 processor, windows 7HP. After about three minutes the sound drops off when connected to the av reciever through the hdmi outport. If I touch the trackpad the computer reconnects for another three minutes and then disconnects. If I touch the the trackpad about every two minutes the computer stays connected indefinetly. This problem does not occur if I use the computer to play an audio CD. Any fix suggestions.

Good Luck.

Sound drops off after 15 minutes after upgrading from windows 7 to Windows 8.1.

I upgraded my PC from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Then, from Windows 8 to Wimdows 8.1. When playing a Movie I've downloaded from iTunes it plays normally for a good while. Then, after 15 minuites or so the sound drops off. If I close and reopen iTunes it plays again for about the same time. I had to do that five or six times to get through a movie. I've tried installing the latest sound drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the latests iTunes with no luck fixing the issue. I have my PC connected to my TV via HDMI cable. Any suggestions?

Hi,
You could download and install the trial version of Photoshop Elements 12.
For your serial number, try this:-
Go to Adobe.com and there should be a button to Manage account - click on that and sign in with your Adobe Id.
Click on View All under Plans & Products
Click on View other products
After a short while, you should see your Photoshop Elements appear and you can expand it to see your serial number.
The serial number can be entered into the trial version to activate it.
Do you have your catalog and images?

In the past month or so my iPhone 5 battery is dying in hours, whereas it used to last all day at least. Also, I am getting constant "message send failures" when texting and frequent dropped phone calls.

Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more. I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery. I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls.

My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

How can I import video and sound from my sony camcorder?

I have just bought the mac. I'm struggling to import video AND sound from my Sony DCR-SR87 hard disk handycam camcorder. From what I've read already, I ended up purchasing and downloading Quicktime MPEG2, and used the Utility MPEG Component Lion from downloaded MPEG Streaming 1.9.3b6 to enable video and sound to play on the computer directly from the camcorder. The problem is that when I import these clips using iphoto (it pops up when I connect the camcorder), the sound does not accompany the video onto the computer. I've hit something of a brick wall and would really appreciate any help.

OK, according to
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
your camera is supported by iMovie 9. Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum. Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?
