HDV audio synch error upon capture

I'm having issues with audio synch capture issues.
I set the project settings for HDV 1080i30(60i) - I accepted the defaults of preset, I specified Canon in Device Control
I captured two clips...each ~ 20 minutes in length. Both have audio synch issues.
Both clips captured footage that included a blank spot(s) in the tape...ie. the timecode was reset when I removed the tape from the camcorder during the trip.
Both captured clips have odd bright red video footage inserted for a second or two (is that an error signal?) in various places.
Both show the following error message:
F;\Video\Project1\Clip 02.mgegError in MPEG stream detected around frame 3502
(there are ~20 such error messages in the Events panel)
Suggestions?
Thanks, in advance.

Thanks for your continued advice.
Doing the resiz in camera makes a lot of sense. My only concern is not wanting to do my edits and titling for a large project twice (i.e. once for DVD version and later for a BR version). I know there's some feature of Prem. that allows substitute clips...work on low-res & replace with high-res...but I'm a rookie on that front. Is there a term for that?
As mentioned earlier, I was willing to try doing a manual capture process in order to work around the timecode breaks. But I'm running into issues, again. The first clip ~2 minutes - no problem. The second clip ~35 minutes - big problems...error reports of dropped frames...must be on portions of the tape other than my timecode breaks. Also, the thing can't complete the Conforming Clip 02b.mpeg process. It starts...makes progress...grinds to a halt mid-way...and renders Prem "Non Responsive".
It's feeling like this HDV full res process has lots of gotcha's. I'm wondering how folks get through it.

Mismatching Audio Sample Rates Upon Capture

I recently bought a cheap MiniDv JVC video camera, and I am having trouble capturing video and audio together in FCP 6.0. The capture seems fine, but when I finish an error pops up which reads: "The Audio Sample rate in your presets does not match the one on your source tape." As a result there is a delay between the video and audio tracks that creates huge amounts of extra work.
My video camera captures sound in 12-bit format, and from what I understand that usually corresponds to a 32MHz sample rate. I can't find any 32 MHz presets in the Easy Set Ups or other menus, the system seems geared entirely towards 48 MHz sound. I've messed around with some different combinations of settings, but so far to no avail. Any help someone can give me will be much appreciated.

You might want to duplicate the capture preset for DV/NTSC 48k and change the audio to 32k.
Then try that.
But I'd also change the JVC's audio settings to record in 48 while you're waiting. Should be able to do it... cheap or not.

FCP7 Capture Settings - HDV Audio

I am capturing just fine with FCP 7 and a Canon HV30 camcorder. However, I would like to be able to turn off the audio monitoring while the capturing is in progress.
Previous versions of FCP did not have audio monitoring with HDV cameras, and wasn't a problem. Now, I can't get it to be quiet without muting my system audio.
The HDV capture settings are not editable, nor can I duplicate the preset.
The capture window clip settings does not include a preview toggle.
Any ideas?

bump... HDV audio monitoring during capture, I have been unable to figure out how to shut it off.

Mac Pro 2.66 Logic , still synch error ? is this possible ?

well , here goes my suprise . got recently Mac Pro 2.66 , one of the fastest machines around and i still get "could not synchronise data in time " error when CPU Usage of OS X is only on 12% !!! with not much happening in a Song ? is this still draging every body else down ? i used to have a lot of synch errors when i was on Pentium 4 Logic 5.5
now i switched to Mac hoping to have better workflow and still having Logic stoping because of that annoying synch error. what about you out there , quad owners !
p.s. i have audio buffer on set 125 . should not be a problem
with quad 2.66 . am i wrong ?

i think logic is fine Instrument it needs to be improved just as any other major DAW's . synch errors like , coundn't process data in time etc, is 20th century . there is enough tech knowelege nowedays to sort this legacy of the past out . what i'm afraid to go into is to start twicking OS till i would go Grey and not having any improvement as i did when i was usin PC & Windos . Melissa .., i have those error poping up without audio files in a song , only logic Synths and Stylus can cause those pop up . i don't want to dramatize it i have qute bearable interaptions but still those kind of Audio or whatever related problems they might be should be sorted out once and for all by Apple . also i constructed audoload on a new system i was using Cubase before i moved to Mac .
for Chris', attention i've got quite qood Audio interface hooked up : Yamaha i88x Mlan interface .
i'm hopeing to hear more feedback on this thread though.

Freezing upon capturing

I run FCX 1 on a g4 466 10.4.9 recently I have been experiencing freezing upon capturing footage from either my JVC deck or vx 2100 . The audio goes totally out of sync also. It happens with any external drive and even the mac hd. Also I went to another machine, captured to my Wd 500 drive and when I got home, only one of the tapes was there-(there are two in the project) I went back to the lab and looked- both tapes exist on the drive but my computer cannot find one.
I recentl upgraded to QT 7- could that affect anything? Trashed p lists, re started, even got new fw cables. Am at the end of my rope- help!

If your capture woes started soon after the QT 7 install then it's entirely possible.
Should you want to re-install a previous version look here:

Audio Codec error box when I try to view a clip in Edit Box

Just started trying to use Pr E 7. Vista
I get the media from an external hard drive, drag it to the timeline box. When I try to 'play' it, I get an
"Adobe Default Windows Sound Device" box that says:
Device: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Error Code: FFA-8-000D (80040154)
Info:
Playback failed
The audio system does not seem to respond.
Maybe card does not support full duplex mode.
The funny thing is the clip that I'm trying to play doesn't have any audio in it.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

You are most welcome.
So very much depends on the exact process used to encode the AV (Audio & Video) file. There are many encoding processes, that will create elemental streams, i.e. Audio-only, or Video-only files. However, many schemes, and many programs, that will create a muxed (multiplexed, or combined Audio & Video) files, and though there is no Audio signal, a silent Audio Track will be written. You can even do this yourself from Share/Export. If you choose a common format, like DV-AVI, you will have the option to Export Video, and Export Audio, and also have Multiplexing choices. If you remove all Audio from the Timeline, but choose both Video & Audio, and set Multiplexing to DV, you should end up with a muxed DV-AVI file, that will have a 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio track embedded, but it will be silent. G-Spot will tell you the specs. of that Audio stream, even though there is no signal in it. When you go to Import, or play that file, the NLE, or player will need to "handle" the Audio too, though there is no signal.
Now, going back to the digitizing process, one can often set Audio to None, or Multiplexing to None. This will depend on the software, and/or hardware used, but one might be able to output an elemental stream, with Video-only. Some programs and hardware are pretty much "hard-wired" to do only an Multiplexed AV file, regardless of the lack of a stream for either of those.
When doing any Multiplexed AV files, it is prudent to check both streams, even if the source material is lacking one stream. You want the specs. to match, with say even a silent Audio stream set to 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV (the general specs. for DV/DVD files). If one accidentally allows the software, or hardware, to write an "off-spec." file, say MPEG Audio at 22KHz 12-bit, problems can arise, even though there is no Audio stream. There will be one, at those specs. for the silent Audio in the resultant file.
On the surface, and at first thought, this is not intuitive. Hey, we have silent footage! What's that Audio stream doing there? Well, it's because the file is a Multiplexed AV file, and was probably set up that way by the capture/digitizing/output program, and it did not know that you would not have an Audio signal.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt

Audio synch problem

I have a 1 1/2 hr program in HDV that I'm having audio synch problems with during export. All my frame rates for my clips are the same as well as my audio sampling rates. It will start fine, then be slightly off and by the end of the program that audio is behind by about 3 seconds. I've tried all formats, reference file, self-contained, Anamorphic DV and still no luck. Any ideas?

Audio synch drifting in music video

Hello-
I just sat down this morning to begin editing a music video shot in DVCPRO HD @ 24fps. The video is performance-based, and, at the shoot, the artists played along to the song from their album (the song was played from a CD and run through a PA) so that all the footage could be synched up to the track in editing.
However, when I lay the audio track down with a take from the shoot, the audio track (imported from their album and converted into AIFF format) gradually loses synch with the video. I've edited several music videos using this same format (the same cameras, even) and have never encountered this problem. The audio settings for the captured video and the audio from the CD match (48khz, 16 bit).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

the issue was that the synch track was played from a CD (on an older cd player, which may or may not have contributed to the problem). The track from the cd fell out of synch with the AIFF as the song progressed, I assume due to the fact that the CD is physically spinning, creating a variable on how fast the data can be read from it (even though there was no discernible difference in speed to my ears or to the artists who wrote and recorded the song) . So, I ended up running that same CD player into my computer and importing the track from the player in real time, which synced up perfectly.

Audio Monitoring during Log & Capture

New user here and just setting things up. I'm able to hear audio after I have captured a clip but cannot hear/monitor audio during logging. What am I missing here? BTW - using onboard iMac speakers and headphone jack for monitoring.

I have the same problem and its driving me crazy! I don't think it is supposed to work this way, especially if you have 8 cores worth of processing power. More than enough to view and listen during capture and log review process.
Here is my situation:
Camera: Sony HC7
Connection: Firewire
Video Setting on Camera: HDV 1080i60 with 16 bit 48hz Audio
Program: Final Cut Studio Pro 2
During Log and Capture Preview (HDV settings) there is not an option to turn audio on although you can view the sound bars moving just fine. I have not been able to find any documentation that say FCP does not allow you to listen to audio during preview. I think this is a bug or at least an option that FCP should allow the user to turn-on or turn off.
My question is this: Should it be working? And if so, why not? And if its not allowed then Why Doesn't the documentation say so????? I've noticed that if you're capturing from standard DV devices that you elect to turn the audio on/off.
Like this post, if I capture it into the application then everything works just fine and the audio is there.
Please help. Thanks

Audio Level Gone After Capture

Hello,
I've searched the forums and found one with this problem, and it wasn't resolved.
Basically, I'm previewing audio before and during capture and the levels are great. Then, upon playing back, I open the audio up in the viewer, and even there the levels look great, but it plays back really low - and distroted.
It appears the tape (coming in from my miniDV camcorder) is fine as the level is fine on preview. And it's not my speakers or anything like that, otherwise I'd have the problem during preview, also.
Any thoughts or help would be fantastic.
Thanks,
Matt

FCP X: Video / Audio Synch Function not working

Hello,
I am currently editing a project on FCP X (version 10.0.8) on a Macbook Pro (2012) with 8 GB RAM.
I have imported video shot on a Canon 7D, and I am using independently recorded WAV audio files that were captured on an independet dedicated audio recording unit.
I am attempting to synch the master WAV audio files with the 7D video footage, and up to this point every time I create a sych clip, the clip contains only the audio as recorded by the camera and not the audio as recorded by the seperate audio unit. I am selecting both clips, and then instructing program to synch the independently recorded WAV audio files with that of the camera.
Any thoughts as to why the FCP X synch function is not operating properly would greatly and very deeply appreciated!
Many thanks to any community members who could be of assistance.
Best regards

Not sure what you're trying to do but it sounds like more than 7toX style translation can do. Any particular reason why you're doing part of the work in X if the main project is all in 7? To be honest- unless it's the main editor I'd recommend the whole movie stay in either X or 7 but not both. Bouncing between them has issues (as you've discovered).

Network Error upon startup

I have IChat set to launch on startup but lately I have been getting an error:
*"Network Error"*
*This computers Internet connection appears to be offline*
In fact it is not. If I select ok instead of network diagnostics all is well but I have to connect iChat normally.
Its almost as if iChat is launching too soon?? IE before the computers has finished making connections.
Im not sure if it is related but I have Insufficient bandwidth errors upon Audio chat too. The errors came first.

Hi 1stmacPro,
In System Preferences > Accounts > Your account > Login items where is iChat in the list ?
Try deleting it and re-entering it in the list at the bottom (This list is not drag-able).
This may help.
What is happening is that the OS is allowing Applications to start up before the Network is established properly.
I think Niel once posted a Applscript to add to the list instead of the actual app so that it was launched after the Network was there.

No Audio during Log and Capture

Hello, I have FCP 6.0 and am unable to hear my audio during log and capture. I have this problem on all 5 G5 Macs that I have, and have tried different editing docks and cables. I have used FCP for more than 5 years and have never had this problem. iMovie has audio during capture, so I am convinced that there is a pre-set in FCP that I don't have checked properly, but I've been over them many times and still have no answer. I searched past forums and didn't really find anything helpful to me.
My pre-sets are set to DV NTSC 48kHz and the playback pre-sets are set to default. I can hear audio of my clips after I log and capture, but I still need to hear audio during importing. I'm more confused than anything. If anybody has had this problem before or any suggestions for me, I'm all ears.
Thanks.
John

... as Bogie says.
However... this is a non-feature that dates back to slower CPU days... yet, still with all the different formats and such I (ME!!) I believe it's still good practice to leave it off.
Devoting as much CPU work to the capture process lessens the chance for something to go wrong. You can easily monitor the audio directly out of the deck as needed.
Sure -- octo cores need 30 apps open just to get your money's worth and I'm sure you won't have any issues using an 8th of one to send audio thru itself while the other 7 and 7/8ths are used for capture... but who wants to risk it?
Not me... I'm to old to change my ways.
Blast you FCP v1.2.5 on a beige G3 with 7gig and 15gig hard drive -- you taught me well.

Getting a RC 8 upon trying to transport an end routine piece to our QA environment.
No syntax error upon trying to check the code in the end routine. The custom infoobject that i m trying to populate in this code is set to 'Initial' in the transformational rules. Plz can you share any clues there. This transformation is attached to an Infocube.
Here is the code:
data: v_fiscper(3) type n.
loop at RESULT_PACKAGE assigning <result_fields>.
    clear v_fiscper.
    v_fiscper = <result_fields>-fiscper+4(3).
    case v_fiscper.
      when '001' or '002' or '003'.
       concatenate 'Q1,' <result_fields>-fiscyear
           into <result_fields>-/bic/zfiscqtr.
      when '004' or '005' or '006'.

    endcase.
endloop.
Appreciate help on this one.
Cheers !!

How is InofObject zfiscqtr implemented?
Additional:
Try to use RSA1 transport connection.
Select your transformation, cube and so on and collect all necessary objects.

Supporting information - I recently changed the scratch disk from C drive to D drive (the back up/restore drive). The application wont launch so I cant change it back to the C drive.
Questions:
- How to I fix this .. from windows explorer how do I find "the file" that the error message refers to?
- Other ways to fix this?
