Hearing Audio from placed background movie

I am trying to line up my audio from a FCP .mov file. When I play my movie...the video plays fine in LType but there is no audio that plays. Is there a setting Im missing? This has worked before for me where I can hear my audio adjust the graphics and all is well. Any help is appreciated!

What you probably want to do is,
From within FCE/FCP/FCS is
1. place timing markers within the sequence timeline.
2. File->Export->For LiveType and include the appropriate markers.
From within LT is "Importing a Background Movie With Timing Markers" which is found on page 45 of the LT2.1.4 manual.
My $1.45 worth. Hope it helps, even though it maybe a different workflow to what you had in mind.

Hi,
The first thing I would suggest is to run through the guide by Daniel_Potyrala on the link below to completely uninstall and then reinstall the Flash Player Plug-in.

Cannot hear audio from external iSight

My machine is a 2007 Mac Pro octo, 16GB RAM, OS 10.5.2. Software Update reports the system as up-to-date.
I just got an external iSight webcam. It's recognized by System Profiler as model 0x8, revision 1.0.3. (For unknown reasons it's reported as having four sub-units and a 200MB/sec connection speed.) iSight Updater reports the unit as up-to-date.
Its video appears in iChat's (4.0.2) video preview window, and the video's quality is acceptable. The audio meter at the bottom of the preview displays a signal that varies in response to the sound level in the iSight's environment.
The iSight appears in System Prefs/Sound as a FireWire input. The display there varies with the environment's sound level, and is responsive to changes in the Input Volume setting on the same screen.
The iSight shows up in Audio MIDI Setup as a fixed one-channel, 16-bit, 48kHz audio source.
The above tells me the iSight is producing an audio signal. Nothing I've been able to do, however, has permitted me actually to hear this audio signal. Whether I select the Mac Pro's built-in output, its built-in line output, or an external FireWire audio interface, I cannot hear the iSight's audio. Using these same configurations, however, I can hear audio from QuickTime Player or any other audio app I've tried, as well as all system alerts. The problem seems to lie in the signal's routing.
I've followed this forum's maintenance and troubleshooting guidelines, including isolating the iSight on the FireWire bus and repairing permissions from a second 10.5.2 start-up drive.
I've spent several hours searching for clues about what might be happening, but have exhausted the suggestions I could find.
Does anyone have any further thoughts on how I might go about capturing this camera's audio signal?
I'd appreciate any assistance that gets me there.
Thanks.

Hello Hominahomina
You sound like an experienced Mac user, and you have tried most of the things that can cause this problem. You probably have already checked to be certain that your iChat > Video > Microphone Enabled has a check (tick) mark.
If so, the next suspect I can suggest for your consideration is a possible hardware or software conflict with your "external FireWire audio interface". Disconnect it and test iSight audio again. If it still does not work, uninstall any software that was installed with your audio interface and try again.
If that does not help, you can use any of the suggestions from How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional that you have not already tried.
If, when you play back the file, you can hear the sound recorded with your iSight using iMovie (4 or later), QuickTime Pro, or some other app that can record audio, your iSight itself cannot be the problem. You may have a corrupted iChat preference file. Try this:
• quit iChat if it is running
• delete your Home(User)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ichat.plist file.
A new .plist file will be created the next time you launch iChat, but deleting the .plist file deletes several iChat preference settings, so those you want to be different from the default values will need to be reset.
If all else fails, your external iSight likely needs help form an Apple Service Technician. The external iSight you bought is likely not covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller is not providing you service guarantees or warranty, you may be want to check Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions. If your external iSight needs parts that you or your Service Technician cannot locate, http://www.synaptech.com may be able to help you obtain those that are still available.
BTW, your posted system info shows Mac OS X (10.4.10), but you say that you repaired permissions from "a second 10.5.2 start-up drive." Hopefully, your posted info merely needs to be updated. Although we must start from a different disk to repair a disk, I am sure you know that we repair permissions on a startup disk using its disk utility when started from that drive. For benefit of less experienced readers, don't repair permissions for a disk with one Mac OS version (like 10.4.x) when started up from a different Mac OS like 10.5.x because doing so can cause serious permissions problems.

Placing background movie/project settings

I am lerning Livetype via a lynda.com tutorial. It says that if I'm using DV that my project settings should be set to DV NTSC 3:2, however my footage is shot in 16:9. What setting should I use. Do these settings only affect the placement of my type or do they affect the quality as well?
When I place a background movie that I exported from FCP and I use the DV NTSC 3:2 setting the picture is squeezed as I would expect, however, when I swith the settings to 1080I 16:9 the movie just occupies the upper left corner of my canvas. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!!!!!!

Hopefully I am not leading you astray here. Try using the NTSC 3:2 (or is it 4:3?), and then change the height and width settings to match that of the widescreen (16:9). Kind of bizarre that it doesn't have a common preset.
From the FCE4 manual (http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=answerlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmanuals.info. apple.com%2Fen%2FFinalCut_Express_4_UserManual.pdf&answerid=16777224), you can find frame size for NTSC on page 1065. This information might also be in your FCP manual.

Placing Background move issue - Live type

I'm having trouble with placing a background movie in live type. I encoded a 5 second movie in HDV 1080i60... I've set my project properties to HDV1080i60 and when I place the movie in the background it squeezes it to 4:3. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help!
John

Thanks Christina. I've set my project properties to 1080i60 and encoded my video using compressor and using a Quicktime conversion. they both output the correct file. my canvas in LIve Type is set to the 1080i60 but when I place the movie it snaps to what looks like a 4:3 format.
When I check my project props after placement, the size switches to "custom" but still retains the 1440 x 1080 width and height.
Thanks for your quick response to my issue by the way... I 'm still not clear as to what is happening. I was able to use the "place" options instead of "place background movie"....my canvas stayed at the 16:9 ratio but my video was somewhat narrower. I used the transform capabilities (the handles on the placed video) of the video and the canvas as a guide and just sized it to the right ratio.
Hope this isn't too complicated of a reply
and Thank again for the reply

Cant hear audio from dvd imported footage

I transformed some footage obtained on my camera to a dvd, and im working on it, but i cant hear the audio and when i pass it to the timeline doesnt appear any audio at all, when i view my clips on viewer i can hear the audio but not when working on it. The dvd works fine and seen at dvd player its all ok, the problem is working on final cut, im new but learning quickly and this is getting me on my nerves, please give me a solution.

Handbrake http://handbrake.fr/?article=download also works well, but I personally like MPStreamclip better.
I recommend outputting to DV or 100% quality quicktime H.264 so you don't loose any video quality. DV will probably encode a bit faster than quicktime, but will also take up more space.

Pavilion dv5. Bluetooth will connect but can't hear audio from bluetooth headphones.

They would work a few days ago, now they just connect and don't play audio. I am running windows 7.
Thanks for your help.

Hello lg41s,
You not able to here sound from your head phones.
With sound it could be a lot of different things.
Here is a link that will walk you through some troubleshooting steps for the audio.
Your easiest fix since everything was working before the driver update is a System Restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to restore.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!

How do I hear audio from my Macbook Pro 2009 to my LED TV?

I recently received an adapter for my Macbook Pro 2009, Mini DisplayPort (Mini DP) to HDMI Female Adapter + HDMI Cable for my birthday. I knew before receiving this adapter I needed something to transmit audio to my TV. However, th 1/8' (3.5mm) to RCA stereo audio cable I purchased does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion on which cable I need to purchase next to make the sound component work when connecting my laptop to my Toshiba LED TV?

The Mac's audio output doubles as a optical Toslink stereo mini jack, just use a adapter to regular Toslink and plug the optical cable to your surround sound system. Fiddle with the sound settings to enable optical output.
Mac's pass surround sound through, they don't do any processing.

Can't hear audio from handheld mic recording

I can hear interviews I recorded with a handheld mic on videos edited in iMovie and uploaded to YouTube only if I access YouTube via a brower such as Safari and Puffin and only if I use my new third generation iPad or an iMac or PC.
If I try to access the videos via YouTube's app on my new iPad, I can hear the nat sound recorded with the video camera but I can't hear the interviews recorded with a handheld mic.
I can't hear the interviews recorded with a handheld mic on my iPhone 4 through YouTube's app or via a browser.
I wasn't having any problem three weeks ago. This just started last week.
What is causing this problem? Is there a workaround or solution?

Ripping audio from a .mov

hey anyone know how to rip the audio from a quicktime move file (.mov)?? cheers.

QuickTime Pro allows you to "Extract" (Movie Properties window) a track from any saved file.
You will not be able to extract an audio track from any "Muxed" formats (MPEG 1 or 2 or .swf formats).
This requires either a "real time" recording (Snapz Pro or Wiretap) and other software.
You can also use iTunes software (Mac or PC) to "convert" any saved file to a compression scheme of your liking. It will still be the "lower end" of the audio spectrum because of the compression applied to the source file.
No way to get AAC to convert better than the source formats used.
