Fixing scratchy audio from interview subject

I'm looking for a FCP filter to reduce the noise from an interview. His face/beard scratches against his shirt collar and makes a prickly noise. I've tried adjusting the high and medium frequencies in the 3 band equalizer, as well as the DeEsser. I don't want to have to export this to Soundtrack if I can help it.

  • How do I overlay audio from interview clip over other video clips?

    Help! I have some interview clips and want to over lay the audio from one of the interviews over different video clips. For example, I would show video and audio from the interviewee and then cut to a clip or scene showing what the guy is talking about but still have the interviewees audio playing as a voice over on the cut-away clip. How do I do that?!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Is this Audio muxed (combined into a Clip w/ both Audio & Video), or is it a separate Audio-only file, that has been Imported into your Project?
    If the latter, just drag an Instance of it to a free Audio Track, and position, as is needed. Note: each Instance of a Clip can have different In & Out Poiints, so you are not limited to them being identical.
    For the former, the muxed file, there are a couple of ways to do that, but possibily the easiest is to Alt-click on the Audio part of the Clip (temporarily unlinks the Audio & Video), and Ctrl-C (Copy), then move the CTI (Current Time Indicator/Playhead) to the end of the Timeline, and press Ctrl-V (Paste), for as many Instances of that Audio, as you need. Then, drag them to an empty Audio Track, while holding down the Ctrl key for an Insert Edit, rather than a Ripple Edit, so as to not affect anything on that Track, below the desired Video Clip. If you are replacing the Audio.
    Another way to do that is to use an audio-editing program to rip the Audio, Save as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit file, and then Import that into the Project, for use in many Instances.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,

  • How do you fix the audio from drifting sync on DV footage?

    I know there has been some discussion about this, but the solution doesn't really make sense.  Basically, I am having a huge problem with audio sync on anything shot on MiniDV.   Sometimes the footage will pop at the beginning and the footage will immediately be off sync --- sometimes it takes halfway through the tape to start drifting.  We work with pro-level camcorders and recording decks, and basically the only solution I can find it use legacy FCP or iMovie to capture the footage.  Which is not a solution.  I've also tried the re-time fix, which *sometimes* works ------ but only sometimes.   Is this being addressed in any way? 

    Did you load the Presenter presentation in a Share pod or are you using screen sharing?

  • What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

    What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

    Thank you Menneisyys.
    By transcription I mean being able to take what was said in the interview and have those words converted into written text. So I think your second option's a bit closer to what I was looking for.
    The inelegant solution would be to buy Dragon Naturally Speaking software, load it up on another computer, stand my i-pad next to it, and have the words transcribed that way - an analog approach, as it were.
    O course, I could just spend the next several hours tying up the interview, which is something I kinda hope to avoid.
    Thanks again - Jim

  • IOS 6.1.2 STILL does not fix massively distorted and compressed audio from videos

    I bought an iPad to show prospective clients my video and audio recording services.
    Ever since changing to iOS 6 the audio from all the videos that I have put on the iPad are completely
    distorted and overly comressed. The slightest bass note and everything is garbled beyond belief.
    The same videos on my iPhone 4 sound wonderful as they should, but the same videos on the iPad
    are completely wasted. Playing the sound through the built in speaker of the iPad proves good, but
    the headphone output is horrible. Audio from other sources is clean and undistorted.
    I spoke to Apple Care about six times, and two different Senior Advisors neither of which did anything for me.
    I had the local Apple store replace the iPad but that made no difference.
    I now have two iPads and they both have the same exact issue. 
    It's just pathetic that Apple has not addressed this. 
    Dan   

    Addressed an issue that only you seem to be having?
    Apple offers great service but not this personalized.
    I have never had this issue and I transfer or watch a lot of video to my iPad.

  • Alarming news on optical audio from STB!

    I have a Verizon stb QIP 7232-2, a Sony (Bravia) HDTV, a Sony BlueRay player, an AM/FM receiver, a CD player, and an AudioSource soundbar with inputs for oprical audio, mini-plug audio, and stereo audio. The configuration is as follows:
    STB connected to HDTV via HDMI cable, BlueRay connected to TV via HDMI cable, BlueRay connected to AudioSource soundbar via optical audio cable (works well), STB connected to AudioSource soundbar via optical audio cable and NO sound is generated. 
    After 3 days of searching online, forums, Verizon support, etc., I initiated a support chat with Verizon today. The exchange is below, but the astonishing part of it is that I was told that ALL VERIZON STBs are disabled and cannot be enabled! My question about why Verizon would choose to limit functionality and ultimately the user experience of excellent sound was never answered. Also, if all optical audio ports are disabled, why would Verizon hide this from users and actually tout the various connection options?  For what reason would I be told that this port cannot be enabled? My research reveals that COMCAST does not have this issue. Never mind that the manual touts the various connectivity options and displays wiring diagrams that include the Optical audio port.

    Your Question:I have searched Verizon, and the entire Internet!!! Most frustrating is the runaround I get on the Verizon website. I NEED A HUMAN! My optical audio from the STB QIP7232-2 to AudioSource S3D60 does not work. I tried alternate cables, STB, and connections. Also I can't get STB diagnostics to display.
    A Verizon Service Representative will be with you shortly. Thank you.

    Satish(19:38:15): Thank you.
    John(19:38:36): Hello Ms. Rogers.
    Carol(19:38:45): hi
    Satish has left the conversation. (19:38:45)
    John(19:40:11): Ms. Rogers, may I know were you able to access the optical audio port earlier?
    Carol(19:43:57): access? it's on the back of the STB and noted as a feature! I have not tried to use it prior to this week. I purchased the soundbar to enhance our TV/Blueray experience. I purchased an optical toslink cable (actually 3) and attempted to connect everything. THere is a light in the cable when connected to the stb, but no audio. The cable and the soundbar both work successfully with the blueray player AND an old Technics stereo am/fm receiver
    Carol(19:44:40): and my iPod via a miniplug
    John(19:45:11): Ideally the Optical toslink port is disabled for all the boxes.
    Carol(19:45:23): why?
    John(19:45:59): Ms. Rogers, only the coaxial, HDMI, Component and composite ports are enabled on the set top box.
    Carol(19:46:12): again, why?
    Carol(19:46:22): can it be enabled?
    John(19:46:52): Unfortunately, we do not have the option to enable them.
    Carol(19:47:18): and why wouldn't you tell your customers that this port is disabled BEFORE one purchases a home theater or soundbar.
    Carol(19:47:46): that's crazy - you can't enable. AGAIN, WHY?
    Carol(19:48:24): I understand from days of research that COMCAST does not have this problem.
    Carol(19:48:35): Really - this is how you serve your customers?
    John(19:49:11): Carol, we would have provided the answer for why it is disabled.
    John(19:49:26): However, on the QI{ 7232 box we have the e Sata port only for outward option.
    John(19:49:31): *QIP
    Carol(19:49:56): what does that mean/
    John(19:51:41): We can use the E-Sata drive with the 7232 box to save recordings.
    Carol(19:52:34): i don't know what an e-sata drive is or how it conflicts with an optical output. That doesn't make sense to me.
    John(19:53:29): Carol, I understand your concern.
    Carol(19:53:42): Why would Verizon want to limit its customers' ability to enhance the user experience and benefit from technology?
    John(19:53:47): However, we can only forward your concern to our higher level network team to work on the Optical port enable option.
    Carol(19:55:49): I have been in customer service and I understand that "I understand your concern" is the polite way to say "I can't wait to rid myself of this whiny customer!" I also understand that none of this is your fault and you have no power to change it - so believe me, it's not you. YES PLEASE FORWARD MY CONCERNS TO SOMEONE WHO CAN ANSWER MY ENDLESS "WHY?"

    Does your soundbar support Dolby Digital or PCM.  You may have to change settings that are in the hidden menu if it doesn't support both.  Hidden menu, while on hit off, ok ok (suggest doing it at box)

  • [SOLVED] Garbled and Scratchy Audio

    Hey all -
    I am having a pretty frustrating problem with my audio, and can't seem to find any fixes or locate any threads that duplicate my problem online.
    Firstly, the audio is always scratchy.  If there is no audio being played, the speakers are silent.  But as soon as there is some sort of audio output, they start making a scratching noise.
    Secondly, audio from embedded Flash videos (youtube, for instance) is horribly garbled.  It sounds like the audio is reverberating through an AC vent, being shifted in pitch, echoed, and then output.  Interestingly enough, this doesn't always happen.  After a fresh restart, it is fine for a bit before turning into a garbled mess again.
    I have the Intel 82801I ICH9 HD Audio Controller, as shown by 'lspci':
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
    and have the correct kernel modules loading:
    snd_hda_intel 357048 7
    snd_hwdep 8964 1 snd_hda_intel
    snd_pcm_oss 40192 0
    snd_pcm 69636 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss
    None of my ALSA settings are in the red, and the PCM setting is at about ~50%.
    I know the issue isn't the speakers, since the machine is a dual-boot with Winblows, and they work fine there.
    Can anyone help?

    try using OSS (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS); it works fine with my Intel HDA audio chipset
    if you want to try staying with alsa, try editing /etc/modprobe.conf and adding:
    options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo
    you have to restart to make it take effect. there are several options you can try instead of lenovo, try the alsa page for Intel HDA

    How do I fix my audio/video in iChat 4.0.9?  it has worked perfectly until last night.  I have been having video calls iChat with my granddaughter for 4 weeks.  All of a sudden last night I wasn't able to complete the video/audio.  We were able to iChat with writing.  The message I got was to go to connection doctor.
    The error log -

    Every time we tried to connect I got the same error message.
    I use an airport extreme - my granddaughter has some kind of wifi - but the error was on my side not hers as she connected to her friends.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Hi - I have a cable modem from comcast.
    I am not sure I understand all your questions, suggestions - so I will copy what I have when I go into the airport utility under internet.
    Do you have four tabs (You may have less)  I HAVE 4 TABS
    In the First tab what does it read at the Bottom ?  AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST TAB (INTERNET CONNECTION) IT DOES SAY "SHARE A PUBLIC IP"  WHEN I LOOK AT THAT SETTING - I COULD CLICK INSTEAD BRIDGE MODE OFF, OR DISTRIBUTE A RANGE OF IP ADDRESSES.  BUT FOR NOW THE ONE THAT IT IS ON IS THE SHARE A PUBLIC IP.
    "Share a Public IP" ?
    Or "Bridge (Off) Mode" ?
    I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE INFO BELOW.  I ALSO HAVE UNDER THE INTERNET CONNECTION TAB - CONNECT USING ETHERNET AND ETHERNET WAN PORT AUTOMATIC (DEFAULT)
    THE 2ND TAB IS TCP/IP AND THERE IT LISTS CONFIGURE IPv4: USING DHCP
    IP ADDRESS: 69.138.244.124
    SUBNET MASK  255.255.248.0
    ROUTER ADDRESS  69.138.240.1
    DNS SERVER  68.87.73.246  AND 68.87.71.230  (THESE ARE FILLED IN THE BOXES AND NOT CHANGEABLE.
    THE 3RD TAB IS DHCP
    DHCP BEGINNING ADDRESS 10.0 .1 .2
    DHCP ENDING ADDRESS 10.0.1.200
    DHCP LEASE IS 1  THEN DAY
    4TH TAB NAT
    CHECKED IS ENABLE NAT PORT MAPPING PROTOCOL
    I HAVE BEEN USING THIS AIRPORT EXTREME FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR.
    THE ONLY DIFFERENT ISSUE IS THAT I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AND USED MY DAUGHTER'S AIRPORT EXTREME LAST WEEK.  I HAVE NO IDEA ANY OF THAT INFO - BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE AIRPORT EXTREME LISTED IN THE UTILITY IS THE ONE AT MY HOME THAT I AM WITH NOW.
    THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TRY TO HELP ME.  I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
    JUDY
    Between that drop down and the tabs should be the info  on how it connects to the Modem.
    It may list that Puiblic IP.
    It may list another LAN IP (one from the Modem)
    Does it start 192.168....
    Or 172.16 (or up to 172.32....)
    Or possibly another 10.... number ?
    If the modem is issuing IPs to the LAN there are two things that can  effect things
    One is the fact the computer gets two IPs (even though the mac can only display one)
    And If you used Port Forwarding in the Modem the Place (IP/Computer or device) that it was pointing to may not be the Airport Base Station any more.

  • IMovie audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !

    iMovie 11  audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !
    I have created a project where I have a montage of photos and video clips edited together with music under. Some audio portions of the video files are being muted in some areas and those portions are being heard in another part of the project. This is not for all video clips only certain ones.
    The project plays fine in the timeline, but when I render the project thru iTunes or Media Browser, this is when the project goes corrupt.
    I tried detaching the Audio from the video clips and this somewhat worked, but the original problem still exists with certain audio still being heard where it's not supposed to be.

    I have a fix - or rather, a workaround.
    WARNING: It is lengthy, but still far better than starting a new project from scratch.
    I had this same issue and none of my transitions/clips were at custom speeds, nor did I have anything else weird going on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do within iMovie to fix this, at least there wasn't for me. iMovie is BY FAR the buggiest software I have ever used and if you haven't already spent hours slaving away on a project, you are so much better off using just about anything else to edit your video.
    ...But let's assume you have already spent many hours working on your project and you don't want to start all over. Well then, you have at least one option.
    It's a pain in the neck, but it's infinitely better than restarting your project from scratch.
    This will require:
    A software called Soundflower (which is free) and some kind of audio editing software (I use Logic, but really any should work).
    1.) You're going to need to export your video with the messed up audio. Typically if you're audio is messing up, you're video is at least usually working just fine (at least it always does for me).
    2.) You're going to need to open that video in your audio software and import only the audio. If your software doesn't give you this option, then you're going to need to record the audio from your video using the audio software and Soundflower. You can find tutorials on how to do this, but it's honestly pretty straightforward once you start playing around with you Mac's audio I/O settings. Remember to have your computer's volume all the way up when doing this.
    3.) Watch/listen to your video and make notes of where the audio errors occur. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND writing down times too,  as they will be extremely helpful later.
    4.) Now were going to rip some working audio from the iMovie project itself. Go back into your iMovie project and only play back audio while in the edit window for this step. Do NOT play your project back in full screen.
    This part is key: if you try to play back your project from the beginning the audio will usually still mess up. So, what you're gonna have to do is go back on your edit window timeline right before these errors occur and play that specific clip back while recording this working audio with Soundflower and your audio software. Essentially we're only recording the parts of the audio where these errors occur, so try to do this in order if you can. Try to leave several seconds of audio in before the error - that way we can use it as reference when we construct our new audio track.
    5.) Now in your audio software you should have your original error-filled audio track and the new clips that we just captured. This part can be painstaking if you're not familiar with audio editing softwares, but as you'll learn, it's really not that hard.
    You're going to look at your original audio track and compare it to your new working audio clips. You should be able to notice where those new clips are supposed to go by looking at the identical (or close to identical) waveform shapes in your original audio track. The two should correspond with one another. If you don't understand what I mean right now, you will when you start playing around with the audio. This is why marking times is very important.
    Take your new clips and split them up if you haven't already, that way you can drag them around and edit them separately from one another. Essentially your going to line these new clips up with original and then replace the original parts with new ones.
    We need to get this as precise as possible, so start off by getting them as close as you can with your naked eye, and then use a zoom tool to zoom in as much as possible so that you can get them lined up PERFECTLY, or at least extremely close. In some softwares you can just drag these new clips on top of the old track, but most of the time you will need to actually cut out the old piece and replace it with the new one. In doing this, zoom in and make sure that you are NOT cutting out a bigger space than your new clip will fill - otherwise you will have small gaps in your audio.
    VERY IMPORTANT: Also make sure that this new audio track starts at the EXACT SAME time as your original - otherwise your new audio will be out of sync.
    I know this part can really suck if you're not used to audio editing, but at this point, there is little other choice.
    6.) Once you are done with this, export your newly pieced together audio track.
    7.) Now open iMovie and create a NEW project. Re-import the video that you exported earlier that has the messed up audio. This might take a while, so just be patient.
    8.) Then right click the clip and select "Detach Audio". This will do just that - allowing you to edit the audio separately from the video. Now delete this audio.
    9.) Now, import the new, perfect audio track that we just made and make sure that it starts at the start of the project. Make sure it's in sync and that everything works.
    Now just export your new video with the working audio and you should be done. Since we have given iMovie the audio with no editing actually being done in iMovie, it does not have to generate its own audio now and you should have absolutely no errors now - unless there is some that you forgot to take out earlier.
    YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!
    I know this entire process *****, but if you're that far into your project, there is little else that you can do. Now you've learned your lesson:
    DON'T USE IMOVIE EVER AGAIN.
    I hope this helped!

  • Audio from DVD to CD

    I need to pull some narration from a DVD to burn onto a CD for a client. We no longer have the original audio. I used MPEG Streamclip to open up the .VOB files, but when I use that program to export the audio I get "error: can't convert sample rate".
    The Audio PID is 128 AC3 2/0, which I realize is compressed audio, but that's about all I know. Is there a way to convert this audio in Compressor so that I can burn it onto a CD?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Maybe I should start a new thread, but this still relates to the subject line... I'll close it out after this last question...
    OK, now I have my audio from the DVD a Final Cut Pro sequence. I added chapter markers. Export>Using Compressor.
    In Compressor, I chose Audio AIFF 44.1:16 (cd quality). I can see my chapter markers in purple in the Compressor View Window. When I open the .aiff file in Quicktime, my chapter markers are not there. Am I missing a setting in Compressor or Quicktime?

  • Problem with audio from speaker at bottom

    I have looked around the net and found several other people have had this issue, but want to know more about possible fixes.
    My iPhone 4 has an issue where the audio from the speaker on the bottom of the phone disappears. Randomly. It could be during a youtube video, or a game, or even just using the phone itself. If I leave the phone for a few minutes and come back to it, when I play a game or video, the audio returns.
    Initially the audio did not come back. And I restored the phone thinking that may help. But it didn't.
    So, has this happened to anyone else? Has anyone got an idea on how to fix this. Volume controls and mute switch all checked. I can't explain how it's happening or how to fix it.
    Any thoughts?

    well an update, im realizing that only one clip out of the 3 clips is where the audio doesnt work.  of course its the main clip with everything i need on it.  when i import the other 2 clips into pp the audio meter icon show on them and audio plays fine.  on the main clip its light purple and no audio meter indicating no audio.  but like i said i can play it fine and hear the audio perfect outside of pp.  all 3 were clips were shot at same time at same settings. TIA

  • Macbook 2008 no audio from speakers - can't disable digital audio - red light in headphone jack

    Looking for help with this problem, that seems like a lot of people had in the past and still have, but I see that a couple of discussions on it here have been archived. Too bad, as the problem continues.
    I seem to be having the same problem with my late 2008 white 2.1Ghz Macbook.
    I had used earphones a few times with movies and iTunes, with no problems. Now I've just rebooted to find that I have no audio from internal speakers (the boot up chime works though). Earphones work perfectly.
    There is a constant red light in the earphone jack. The volume icon in the top menu bar is greyed out. In the Sound preference panel, Built-in Speakers are not available as an option for audio out. The only option is Digital Audio. If I connect earphones, then they are available as the only option.
    I have tried all the various methods that people have recommended, to switch off digital audio through the earphone jack: trying to flip the little switch with a toothpick, paper clip, etc., as well as cleaning around inside the jack with a bit of rubbing or cleaning alcohol; also tried inserting and removing the earphones plug several times, while pushing the volume buttons on the keyboard. Nothing works.
    I did get something from inserting/removing the earphone plug, as I seemed to be able to adjust volume from the keyboard, but I never got sound out from the speakers; the volume window seemed to indicate increase/decrease volume as I pressed the keys, but after a few seconds the volume window greyed out again with the No Entry symbol.
    Trying to flip the digital audio switch in the jack occasionally gets the red light to turn off for a couple seconds, but then it comes back on.
    Is there any particular problem with this that can't be solved by the aforementioned methods, that many people have used to solve it in a simple manner? Could my problem be more serious? Is there anything I could do if I opened up the Macbook, e.g., somehow to manually turn off the digital audio switch?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Got it fixed with a small flathead screwdriver with a fairly wide blade. Opened iTunes, started playing songs, had red light in headphone jack, as per usual with this problem.
    Put screwdriver in jack, with blade more or less vertical, started moving it around inside of jack in clockwise motion, pressing pretty firmly. Took just a couple of "swirls" around the inside of the jack and then audio finally turned on! Was a bit of a hassle, but finally worked.
    Many thanks to all for their suggestions.
    P.S. re. advice not to use metal object. This was the only way I was finally able to solve the problem (i.e., using the small screwdriver). I didn't see where using a metal object would be a problem, seeing as the headphone plug itself is metal. Anyway, it worked.
