FCPX: Change fade in/out on all audio to -3dB

I'm creating audio fade in and out transitions on my voiceovers. I want them all to fade from -3dB. Is there a easier way to apply this on every audio track without applying it manually / one-by-one?
I tried selecting them all and change it in the inspector, but it did not work. As in, it did not have any effect.
Any great ideas?

If you use the fade ramps you have to do them manually. If you use transitions you can select the transitions and apply the ramp you want.

    No.
    To add crossfades or fade in/outs to multiple audio regions, you must do it from the fade parameter box, either entering numerically, or by clicking and dragging on the numeric value.

    You can't buy more storage on an iPad. You are referring to space on iCloud and that probably won't accomplish what you are trying to do.

    I have QT Pro 7.6.6 and want to delete all audio (5 tracks) from a selected in-out section of a .mov file. Then, add new audio. How do I do that?

    If I 1) knew TeX well enough to fix it, and 2) could get the guy to answer the phone or email so as to give me the sourcecode or to fix it himself, I wouldn't have bothered figuring out that the thing could be fixed one page at a time by a) getting a copy of acrobat pro, b) figuring out how to turn on all of the extra toolkits, c) finding the edit object button in randomly named toolkit, d) right clicking on the chapter title and selecting the e) ever so obvious "delete clip" menu selection.
    At this point I would absolutely love to never have to touch an adobe product again in my life, but my hand has been dealt and if I'm going to print the manual for a software library that we've spent a cumulative $70,000 for, I have to figure this out and I really don't want to have to hit [Page Down], [Ctrl] + [A], Right click, delete clip for >700 pages.
    I felt certain that once I'd figured out how to shift the pages down using ghostscript so first two lines of each page weren't getting cut off in the printer non-printable region, and finally figured out this that a relatively simple scripting solution would be immediately apparant.  I mean, there are APIs for both applescript and javascript, but I'm mystified by how to get to the edit object feature from within them, much less how to tell that feature to delete clips for everything on a page.

    i changed my password on my iPod and now i can't unlock it. how do i unlock it with out loosing all my items on it? (e.g. pictures)
    Please someone help me?!

    You have to connect the iPod to your syncing computer and restore via iTunes.  If iTune asks for the passcode and yu can't enter the pascode or if you do no have the syncing computer you hove to place the iPod in recovery mde and then restore.
    If you did not previouly sync to the computer after changing the passcode, iTunes will ask for the passcode.  Placing the iPod in recovry mode will erase the iPod.  That is the way this security feature works.
    You can restore from backup but you will lose everything since the backup.

  • Sudden static on all audio out

    I am running Logic Pro 7.1.1 on a G5 Dual 2.3 GHZ with 2.5 GB of memory.
    I have eliminated all extra hardware and am now just using the built-in audio.
    In the last week, before the 7.1.1 update, all audio in Logic has static on it. If I bounce any file and play it in iTunes, it is fine. I can record it perfect in Garageband and import to Logic and the static will appear. It is definilty isolated to Logic. The static is not solid but acts like the music is too loud and is clipping to the beat. Any ideas?

    Have you tried trashing Logic prefs ? ( p106 in 'Getting Started' )
    (re-instaling the app is not often necessary, but even if you do, it won't overwrite corrupt prefs)

    I was listening to Audio Books on my iPod Touch while on a motor trip when the speed of the playback suddenly changed to fast forward for all the stored audio books. How can I correct this?

    Actually found this answer in the archives: When the audio book is playing, hold finger on middle of screen until the speed selection message appears and change from 2x to 1x. Thanks for your response though!

  • Titles wipe out all audio

    Wow, what an effect. After 10 hours of work, completing an iMovie project and burning several DVD copies, my wife noticed several typos within titles (spanish language). After fixing the errors, I lost all audio - not just with the clips containing titles, but within the WHOLE iMovie project.
    What;s going on?

    I am by no means an expert but would think that you are just adding the "file", not the playable on and that would convert the iPod into a masstorage device WHICH then would deleate all the musicfiles on it. What you need to do is to download a program to tranform the video file in to a mp4 file and then put it into iTunes and Then load it onto the iPod, that worked for me.

  • Will loading a movie to iPod really wipe out all audio files?

    Hi folks:
    In the midst of loading CD collection into Video iPod 80GB. Decided to load a DVD as well and received a warning message that "loading movie will delete all files".
    Has anyone seen this? I can't imagine that Apple designed a product that is so un-user-friendly.
    Any guidance would be appreciated. By the way, I just learned that I need to convert the DVD format to MP4 - but am reluctant to begin conversion process if loading a movie necessitates deleting all audio files.
    Thanks.

  • How do you change the speed of a detached audio clip?

    I have a piece of detached audio.  Video Frame rate is 23.98.  The piece of Video above it is Video Frame Rate 24.
    How do I change the speed of this detached audio clip?

    Nope, the Automatic Speed did not work.  I exported the XML, and then ran it through X2Pro to try and get my AAF, and it still spits out conform warnings/errors on those same spots.  Automatic Speed apparently did nothing helpful to my situation.  (Can Anyone explain Automatic Speed?)
    Will have to try going through Cinema Tools per the similar issues noted in this conversation: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/28007
    Curious to see what FCPX would do with this media, importing the 24p file to a 25 Project cause a noticeable shift in both time and pitch.
    I imported the time coded audio separately, and played it against the obviously speed and pitched changed video with embedded audio. The files did not sync.
    The audio remained in time and pitch, while the video didn't. So the audio tc doesn't seem to effect playback in FCPX, but video definitely does, and it seems rather buggy.
    So, if your video is 24.0 and your audio is 23.98 and you are in a 23.98 timeline, FCPX might be changing the speed of the video without really reporting it. Resetting speed doesn't do anything, hitting "automatic speed" screws it up a bit more (it goes the wrong way). Changing the speed to something like 96% (FCPX reports 96% but I know it's really ((24000/1001)/25) which is just short of 96%. Turning off the "preserve pitch" checkbox actually pitched the audio back to normal.
    I didn't create the 24.0 vs 23.9 media that you have, but perhaps you are having similar issues, or a different combination/permutation therein.
    But to answer your question, the time coded audio was not changed, only embedded audio.
    and
    But here some notes which makes things hopefully clearer.
    Resampling and changing playback speed are two totally different things.
    Samplerate for audio is the same as fps for video (not dpi for video) so let's call it sps.
    You can record audio at any sampling rate. But let's take 48 kHz and 32 kHz here.
    Record 60 seconds. Once recorded both files as stand alone files will play 60 seconds.
    But forced to play back in a NLE timeline with a fixed sps of 48 the first file will playback correctly. The second one will play at 2/3 of the time (32/48). The other way round the 48 sps file will play longer in a 32 sps timeline.
    Now for those poor guys who have to work with NTSC:
    A real world second is not a second in NTSC video world. Its 1001/1000 seconds.
    So selecting a 48k sps audio preset in a timeline preset means that a real world audio of 60 seconds is only 1000/1001x60. That means that those 60 seconds are only 59.94 seconds long. Its too short.
    One way - if you stay strictly in NTSC - is to record audio with 48048 Hz. This way a real world 1 second audio will match a 1 second NTSC video.
    Next option with BWAVE files is to change the playback settings in the BEXT header of the file. This won't resample the file!!!
    Now about the TC. BWAVE doesn't have a TC in a way you're used when handling video. It has a timestamp in the header. This timestamp contains the Samples after Midnight. Based on that the NLE will convert this to TC which can be displayed. So in NTSC world this might give a wrong interpretation.
    For example if you have a "Start TC" of 00:10:00:00 (thats what you see on your audio recorder) it means that using 48kHz the timestamp is at 600x48,000 = 28,800,000 samples. Since the real sampling rate in the timeline though is 48048 Hz you have to divide the source stamp by this number. This results in 9.99000999000999 minutes. So for a 23.976 fps project this is a TC of 00:09:59:10.
    So setting the Bext header and/or iXML chunk to the correct playback speed will keep everything intact. Again this is without resampling!
    Using an AIFF there aren't these options.
    So you can edit all the stuff without resampling when using BWAVE. But resampling will happen when you export a final movie.

  • Out of sync audio six channels

    Dear All,
    I have not had a problem with this before, but suddenly I have out-of-sync audio when mixing six channels in FCP. Using my Canon XL1-S, I recorded 4 channels of audio in 12 bit mode, 32 khz. I then added another two channels of audio from a separate Sony digital recorder into the FCP edit. First I set the sequence settings to 32khz and ran everything in 32 bit mode, converting all of the audio through Quicktime pro. The 4 channels from the Canon XL1-s are in perfect sync, but the two channels from the Sony digital are playing at a faster speed and are drifting as the movie progresses...the length is 1:25:00. I then went back and converted everything to 48khz and changed the Sequence settings accordingly, but the Sony audio is still drifting and playing more slowly than the other two channels. What am I doing wrong and how can I bring all of the audio together? Thanks. I'm working with FCP 6.0.6 on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.6. Barbara Smits

    What is the format of these Sony files?
    . . . the Sony audio is still drifting and playing more slowly than the other two channels.
    Unless you are timecode locked between devices, it seems reasonable to me that there will be sync drift if the Sony external recorder is not locked to the video signal.
    You might try selecting the Sony audio clips on the timeline and adjusting the speed slightly, such as 101% and see if that gets you closer to sync.
    Hope this helps

  • Fade in / out

    Using code snippets i have made a script which fades in on mouse over and fades out on mouse out
    Once it reaches full fade in/out an if statement condition is met and the enter_frame event listener event which causes it to continue fadeing in/out is removed.
    If the mouse out is detected while it is still fading in it fully fades out and then fades back in until it reaches max fade in because when the fade out started the condition for the IF statement which removed the fade in effect had not been met.
    I have two questions
    1) how do i fix this (i have tried copy/pasting the removeenterframe event code for the fade in into several parts of the fade out script but all this does is stop it from working, also when i do this a second object with no script attatched to it starts flashing on and off)
    2) The fade in and fade out effect both operate at the same rate so if both are running one would expect the object to remain static. the way it behaves however suggests that the fade in effect is actually put on pause until the fade out effect is canceled by its own IF statement. why is this?
    anyway code is bellow
    /* Fade In Movie Clip
    Fades in the symbol instance by increasing its alpha property within an ENTER_FRAME event until it is fully visible.
    Instructions:
    1. To change the speed at which the symbol instance fades in, change the 0.01 value below (valid values are in the range 0.0 - 1.0). Higher values cause faster fade in.
    2. The '+=' operator is a shortcut to typing 'movieClip_1.alpha = movieClip_1.alpha + 0.1'.
    3. Because the animation uses an ENTER_FRAME event, it progresses only when the playhead moves to a new frame, and the speed of the animation is also affected by the frame rate of the FLA file.
    /* Mouse Over Event
    Mousing over the symbol instance executes a function in which you can add your own custom code.
    Instructions:
    1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
       The code will execute when the symbol instance is moused over.

    Mousing out of the symbol instance executes a function in which you can add your own custom code.
    Instructions:

    function fl_MouseOutHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    movieClip_1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut);
    function fl_FadeSymbolOut(event:Event)
    movieClip_1.alpha -= 0.01;
    if(movieClip_1.alpha = 0)
      movieClip_1.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut);
    /* Fade Out Movie Clip
    Fades out the symbol instance by decreasing its alpha property within an ENTER_FRAME event until it is invisible.
    Instructions:
    1. To change the speed at which the symbol instance fades out, change the 0.01 value below (valid values are in the range 0.0 - 1.0). Higher values cause faster fade out.

    Even with Quicktime Pro? If not, is there a plug-in or add-on, or perhaps another program that will allow me to do this?
