Having trouble with Audio Sync in FCExpress

Hello, everyone...a question for the board.
I recently acquired a new iMac with Final Cut Express...planning to try some video editing at home.
I haven't been successful with the proper configuration for captured video, however...using a Sony TRV-900 as my source, video feeding in via firewire 800 (I bought a 400/800 adapter to make it work), and ingesting using NTSC Basic...however, my audio is still not in sync with the video--the video is always ahead, and it jumps further ahead the more I ingest.
Is there some configuration I need to use so that the audio syncs correctly? Is it, as I suspect, a drop-frame issue that I haven't set up correctly?
Any help you could throw my way would be very much appreciated.

I realize that most DV cameras will record in 32 and 48 sampling rates. What I'm trying to get you to do is see what you've ALREADY recorded.
Open one of the captured clips in QuickTime, then hit Command j to see the movie properties. Or in FCP, right-click on a captured clip and choose Item Properties to see what audio you are trying to capture. Once you know that, create a Sequence with those settings, then capture any remaining footage with those settings. If needed, recapture any footage that was previously captured using the wrong settings.

Still having trouble with audio on Macbook Pro

I had posted a discussion board earlier on this issue. I've been having trouble with audio for certain videos on youtube and basically any website embedded with a video. The audio works for a few seconds that doesn't or it doesn't work at all. My volume is up, not on mute, and the one on the video isn't on mute either. It's funny because I just tried watching a video on Firefox (as opposed to Safari) and it works. Could it possible be something with the settings for safari?

Try restarting your Mac, resetting your router, and resetting your modem. My cable internet has gotten slow at times as well, and when I reset my router everything cleared up.

Having trouble with audio edit to tape, print to video ok

Hi all, please go easy on me, this is my first post.
I am having difficulty getting audio on to tape via 'edit to tape'.
The hardware is blackmagic decklink extreme, feeding component video and analoge audio to a UVW-1800P.
I can do a print to video on a crash record and the audio works that way, but edit to tape does not.
I have tried both deck link and built in audio in the audio settings and the FCP a/v settings, seperate and ganged output settings, I have set the insert settings to 2 channel Sony, reloaded the decklink drivers.
The irritating thing is the audio is there whilst cutting, but as soon as I try edit to tape there is complete silence. The important thing is that it worked a few weeks back but does not now, it must be a setting?
Thanks in advance for your help.
This machine I am working with this week is an Intel MacPro running FCP 5.1.2 and Mac OS 10.4.8
G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.

I am having trouble with contacts syncing (CardDAV vs iCloud)

I found that a number of recently added contacts do not sync across iCloud (devices). I have read several forum threads and can't seem to find a solution. I digging into my group text app (Text2Group) I discovered that somehow the missing contacts are not in iCloud but CardDAV. I added them in my phone by opening contacts and tapping on the + symbol in the upper right hand corner of the screen. I did the same thing over the years and never had this problem before upgrading to iOS 8 and then 8.1.1, or at least noticing it recently..
I logged out and back in from both devices. turned off/rebooted my iPhone. The contacts I added today on my MacBookPro (13-inch, Mid 2009, 8 GB ram, OS 10.9.5) today appear on both my iPad Mini and Phone 5S....
Any thoughts other than manually adding the phone CardDAV-contacts to iCloud so the will syn. All of the contacts in CardDAV can be found in contacts, but cannot be added to groups. Baffling

You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer. If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
What "trouble" are you having?

I'm having trouble with the sync all feature and i'm not sure what to do about it

i'm using Lr 5.3 on a windows 8.1 and a really fast laptop "can render movies in after effect in minutes"
the problem i'm having is when i click the sync all button and the top loading bar moves like everybody, only the pictures viewed in my bottom slider will change even if i leave it for hours and this happen with big and small number of pictures so i tried reinstalling it and that didn't work
i do a lot of timelapses and i thought maybe if i export the video they will show with the edited settings and that didn't happen and it showed the pictures that i havent moved to view blured, like the same blue when you move fast between raw pictures
so i t tried exporting them and that worked fine but takes ages, the pictures still didn't change in the viewer but all the exported pictures did and thats not helping me in my job !
FIND ME A SOLUTION please cause i'm dealing with 500-1000 picture here and i need to move the slider every 20 sec or so every picture is changed and this takes time and effort guys !

It could be overheating..........thing is ....i never realy though ibooks got that hot....the ibook does not even have a cooling fan...at least my blueberry 300mhz doesn't.
I would have to say sounds more like your hard drive may be starting to fail you.

Having trouble with audio clips in FCP

I have a project which involves using a number of short audio .wav clips stacked up with a video clip - lots of sounds to go with a SPFX-heavy project.
Problem is - I can hear a 'popping' noise at the start of the .wav clips. In some short portions of the project this is really annoying because you can hear 2-3 pops in rapid succession as one wav file comes in after another.
I've brought the files into Soundtrack Pro and there is no popping sound to clean up in the individual audio files.
It anyone else having a problem like this? Is it unavoidable?

Yes, it is a common problem with digital audio files. I believe it is known as DV Offset, or some such. You can search for POP and find many discussions here and on other FCP forums. We see the topic weekly at least. The most common solution is to place a 1 or 2 frame fade at the beginning of the clip.
This is not necessarily a problem with FCP, it's digital audio, that's just kinda how it is.

If you're having trouble with Audio with Movies or Netflix, try this...

Go to general> settings> audio and turn Dolby Digital to 'off', Then unplug your Apple TV for 20 seconds and try again.
Should do the trick. Worked for me after talking to Apple Support.

Even though Disk Utility First Aid 'repaired' the drive I would still not rely on DU to find and fix errors. Nor continue to rely on LaCie.
Usually when there is a problem the FW ports need to be 'reset' which seems to be a LaCie feature or only happens with their cases.
And yes, use SuperDuper or Drive Genius 2 so you have bootable backups. But sadly 3rd party disk repair and maintenance are essential and a must. Don't wait until DU First Aid does find an error it can't fix, DW finds and fixes problems Apple doesn't.

Is anyone else having trouble with Audio Assets not packaging correctly? Indd CS6

When I go to package my indesign files, which appear properly linked and organized, rather than bundling the play and pause icons in one folder labeled Audio (in an Overlay Assets folder) like it should, it collects as two Audio folders (both into an Overlay Assets folder). I do have two audio resources I'm using (the same mp3 file for each audio button). When I collect, I see one folder is named Audio and has nothing in it. Nor does the 2nd folder, named Audio 402-12510241 but with a long 12 digit code in the filename (this number changes each time I attempt to bundle.). So each time I try to package, then open the newly packaged file, the audio controller files show up as missing assets.
Here's two alert messages I get when I:
A. Try to package a file
B. Try to preview on iPad
If I manually dump these collected audio folders and replace into the Overlay Assets folder it works to preview on the iPad. And seems to work. But try repackaging and you get the same scenario.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
—Brian

Well it worked, kind of. Opened and worked in CC. Previewed to iPad just fine. Packaged folder on the CC machine, which seemed to create correct overlay asset folders with the audio plan and pause pngs. Yeah.
Then, I followed the steps from your note, copied the whole folder to the cs6 machine. Opened the idml in that folder, where there was also the CC version, saved the idml as a new filename in cs6. And if I stop right there, I likely have good files.
But for good measure, I tried to package again, hoping this time I'd see the audio folders in the right place. But no dice. The packaged file creates two empty audio folders. The reason I keep trying to re-package is because I'll be adding more content to these files and will have to re-package at least one more time before uploaded article into an actual folio. And I want to address the problem before going to the Cloud. I'm a bit hesitant to upload given the behavior of these audio files. I've tried importing new audio files with new controller files but that doesn't work.
Days ago, doing troubleshooting of the file, I noticed an old remnant which I deleted from the CC file, and that was a plain text box (with 100% color fill) that had an audio controller file path/location (in the audio folio overlay panel) that linked backed to the CC machine. This was an accident to link this colored box, and it had no mp4 link (or audio controller files) attached to it in the links folder. But deleting the box did delete this audio pathway.
So I can keep doing what I'm doing, replacing the Overlay Assets folder with a custom Audio folder each time, but I'll have to do this to my other 700 pages of iPad documents that will follow this chapter. I'd rather just understand what is happening, fix the file once, then move on and use the corrected files for a template to use for other 20 chapters i have to build.
Mac OS 10.7.5 (which keeps telling me there is an CS6 update but then after updating it, the same update is ready for me to download again). So maybe my OS has something to do with it? Or working on two separate harrdrives that are both within the same tower? I'm trying to work on just one, but I have copied files onto this 2nd drive, which I plan to add as new articles to a new folio as soon as I figure this out.
What do you think?

Trouble With Audio Coming Out of Sync

I am having trouble with audio sync
I am using .mov files of myself talking however I also record audio of myself talking as well. The audio files record as mp3 however I convert them to aiff files in order to better synch them in FCP
I have an audio sound as an in point in order to better sync them and the syncing is perfect when i start.
My files are about an hour and a half long and 20 minutes or so the audio starts to come out of sync and my mouth becomes a half second or so behind the audio. I record this audio live so there is no delay between my speaking and my recording voice but the longer the video goes the more out of sync I become.
My syncing method that I use is "Merge Clips" at the in points.
Has anyone else experienced this?

All sorts of things you can do.
Easiest fix is just to run down your timeline and every few minutes snip the audio and move it back into sync.
Now after that;""
Qe have no idea what your process was. We assume you're editing in Final Cut. How did you import your footage? What format is it in the browser?
what are the settings of your timeline? Look at the sequence settings.
You know that you can plug audio from
mic into a Zi8?
You need to get rid of the mixer hum. Likely ac electrical
interference , a ground fault, but who knows.

You can try removing app then reinstalling. If that doesn't work
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

I'm having trouble with my Apple ID. I changed my email account, and recently (a month ago) and since I switched is requested every time I open any app to Apple ID password to the old email. How can I solve this? Could it be that my iPhone 4S is in sync with my Ipod???

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPhone. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod to my computer.

I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. It gets stuck on the last step saying, "Waiting for changes to be applied." It's been doing this for the last half hour. Is there anything I can do to correct this or is am just going to have to restore my iPod?
