HELP! - i need to recapture footage WITH AUDIO  (edit clip settings??)

so i logged about 10 tapes with the "audio" box unchecked in the clip settings window. so i didnt realize this until i logged all my clips and there wasn't any audio. i realize i need to recapture all my tapes again (which is fine) but I cannot edit the clip settings to tell fcp to this time capture the audio.

Try selecting all the logged clips in the Browser and then choose Modify > Clip Settings.
A window opens allowing you to change the settings

  • Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5 Create Storyline with Audio-Only Clips in order to add crossfade transition.

    Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.5 – How to Create Storyline with audio-only clips. I'm following exercises in Diana Weynand's Pro Training Series, and this function is greyed out. Trying to create crossfade transition. New Compound Clip can be activated however.

    Chapter 7. Page 269. Exploring Audio Transitions. Selecting two audio clips, then control-clicking the clips. The dropdown menu to Create Storyline or (Command G) is greyed out. The function no longer seems to be available. I've found other functions that no longer apply with the latest version in relation to the book, and I assume that this is another one. But I'm trying to follow the book the best I can. I know there's a workaround. I can simply select an edit point and add the cross dissolve (Command T), but I wonder if this accomplishes the requested exercise from the book.

  • Importing footage with audio

    I am running a Mac Probook 2.0 with 1.5 gigs or Ram OS 10.48 Final cut Express 3.5 HD. I need to import footage from another source. I have been importing as mpeg 1 when I import to FCP i loose the audio, what format can I use to import into FCP that will also take the audio? I have the capablity to change the format prior to importing into FCP. anyone out there have any suggestionsa?

    try using a program like MPEG Streamclip to transcode the clip before you import it ... best bet is to convert it to the native format of your timeline

  • Need help with audio edit - how can I censor myself?

    Hello, all. I have a problem that I don't know how to solve.
    Let me say, first and foremost, how much I dislike iMovie '08. I miss '06 so much! It was so straightforward and easy to use. This new (well, now old) version is so blocky and simple that it's completely backwards; I straight-up don't know how to operate it. And I'm a film student! It's so embarrassing.
    Here's the problem. I'm working on editing a vlog for release tomorrow, and I need to "bleep" a bad word I say. I have the censor beep, and I have it anchored over the clip I want to censor, but I can't find a way to actually mute the audio from the video, so that only the bleep plays. At this point, I'm bleeping, but you can still hear the bad word. Completely ineffectual.
    I've tried everything in my extremely limited arsenal to solve this problem, but no dice. Help!

    Drag the mouse to select the video frames that you want to mute. A yellow border should be around them.
    Then, EDIT//SPLIT CLIP (or right-click/Split Clip).
    On this split clip, open the Audio Inspector and set the volume to zero.

  • HELP NEEDED CAPTURE DV FOOTAGE WITH HDV VIDEO CAMERA

    I'm trying to capture DV video footage I've done years ago with my Sony DCR-HC40E PAl into FCP version 6. with my new camera HDV video Sony HDR-HC7 1080.i/mini dv so I can capture it into FCP but it's jerky, An yone know the setting for both the HDv camera and FCP to get the footage perfect as the rginal video.
    Cheers

    From the FCP menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup > DV-PAL > OK. (Use DV PAL Anamorphic if you shot wide screen).
    Menu bar once more: Sequence > Settings > Set Sequence Preset > OK.
    That camera should detect the DV format tape and playback with the correct settings automatically.
    All you ned to do is connect it via FireWire and capture.
    For everything else, here's the manual for that camera: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/HDRHC5.pdf

  • Need help with audio editing

    I have an mp3 file which I converted from flv (YouTube) using ffmpeg.
    The quality of the flv was good but its volume was relatively low.
    Even if I play the mp3 file at maximum volume, it's not as loud as I would like.
    I've found that playing the mp3 file through Audacious using its graphic equalizer with some altered settings really helps immensely.
    Is there any way I can re-record the mp3 at these enhanced equalizer levels as I would like to include the (enhanced) track in a playlist of 40+ songs and I don't want to fiddle with the equalizer just for this one song when it plays?

    Easiest would probably be to use Audacity to modify it.

  • Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

    I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
    In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
    My System:
    WinXP Pro SP2
    2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
    Intel PERL mobo
    3GB 400MHz RAM
    NVidia 7800GS video
    I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
    related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
    etc) when using any CS3 app.
    The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
    footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
    Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
    Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
    on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
    Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
    footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
    Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
    with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
    fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.

    Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
    with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
    fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
    audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
    each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
    upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
    Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
    was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
    file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
    accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
    By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:

    Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
    build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
    "planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
    Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
    which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
    deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
    display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
    was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
    identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
    jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
    doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
    Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
    The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
    Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

  • Cut section of footage with audio out of timeline - HOW??

    Hi I've tried to select a middle section of my timeline and cut it out and have the two sections join - how do I do this? I've tried cutting the back end and pasting over the middle section, but it will NOT overwrite the audio. Video will overwrite but it does not lay audio over with it.
    I've Tried using Extract audio when using "Paste over at Playhead" checked and not checked. It doesn't work either way. any help please?

    Hi dsafian - if I understand you correctly, removing a section is simple, but there are two scenarios and you do not give enough detail for us to know which one to describe, so here's both:
    1. Cutting a section out of a single clip: there is more than one way, but here's one. Place the playhead at the start of the part you want to remove and hit Command-T. That will split the clip at that point. Now go to the end of the unwanted part, and do the same. Then select the middle part and hit 'Delete'.
    2. Removing several clips: Select the first clip you want to remove, and then Shift-Click on the last clip to be removed. this will select all of the clips that you want removed. Now hit 'Delete'.
    Does that help? Tell us if we have misunderstood your problem.

  • RED footage with audio won´t import to timeline anymore?!

    Hello,
    I cannon import any RED footage to the timeline anymore. I can import it with media browser, view it in viewer and make a new comp with it but there is no way to get a clip from the viewer to the timeline. It works fine with RED footage that has no audio.
    I am running 8.2 and this worked fine a week ago...
    Any info?
    Thanks

    So it gets more confusing ...
    I cleared all the .xmp files from a folder, and drag and dropped straight from explorer to the timeline, it all imported !
    So i start do this for a few different folders, seems to be working...
    I then say , well hey ill go back to media browser and try to reimport and organise my file structure the way i like.. all of the sudden it reverts back to audio only, even from win explorer, then i grab 4 clips at once ... it imports them ?
    So, i go back to media my project window, grab 3 files, and it now drops them on the timeline.
    I won't play like I'm understanding the logic here, one would think  spanning clips or somthing but it seems much more random
    Though, if in the future anyone has this problem, try draggin more than 1 clip at a time in and see if that gets you going.
    ADOBE : Can you please shed some light on this, although i have figured a strange work around, this means i cannot use the source window like a usual workflow and i must actually import everything to the timeline then cut and scrap the rest.

  • Help!  Need to start over with iPhone 4!

    Got the phone, looks fine, started setup using old 3Gs--ie, made the call to the number below and typed in the number I was activating. Well, then realized the service might not know I was activating a replacement phone, though there was some question addressing that issue, and I quit that activation and set out to call the AT&T number on the new, unactivated, phone, thinking maybe it was rigged to go ahead and call this one number even though it was not activated. It did that and almost instantly a popup arrived saying my new phone was activated.
    Charge your phone/device following the instructions provided in the user's guide.
    Power on your phone/device.
    Call 1-866-499-8008 Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. Eastern Time or Saturday from 11:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. Eastern Time to activate your phone/device. You may be asked for any of the following information:
    Wireless Phone Number
    AT&T Premier Order Number
    15 digit IMEI number
    20-21 digit SIM card number
    It DID NOT ask any of these other questions above.
    Well, the 4 seems to work for calls, but the Internet is ridiculously slow, way slower than my 3Gs, and iTunes put NONE of my apps back onto the new phone after I (laboriously) backed up the 3Gs in iTunes 9.1. Of course I had to upgrade to iTunes 9.2 when I attached the iPhone 4.
    So, w/o any of my apps, and with slow or no functionality on Internet, not much 3G at all, what I'd like to do is go back to square one, start over from activation. Is there any way to do that?
    Also, for some reason the phone is constantly asking me for the Voicemail password,even when there is no Voicemail and I am not trying to pick up Voicemail.
    I ordered thru AT&T (as you can see from the instructs above) so any advice would be welcome as to how to start over, get my apps onto the new phone, and have the thing run at least as well as my 3Gs.
    Thanks for bearing with me thru this labored description of the problem. I hope it's reasonably clear.

  • Needing a mini to video/audio edit/produce.

    been digging deeper and deeper into video and audio production and editing.
    currently im running a 24" imac 2.4ghz, 1gb ram, i use it as my everyday computer and i been playing around with some video editing and a good bit of audio production. (im going to eventually upgrade the ram in this thing)
    my question is, im looking to pick up a mac mini and run a dual display. this mini will ONLY be used for video and audio production. the video production i might add is nothing very over the top. just your simple credits, adding music, and clipping scenes. (im producing some how-to halloween prop dvd's and haunted house walk through) for audio production again, nothing very over the top.
    im looking to pick up a mini due to the price. a mac pro is way out of my price range.
    what do you think would be the best route mini wise to go for? 2.66? thinking my 2.4 has been working fine a 2.53 should be fine? and as for the ram. i planned on upgrading the ram to around 4 or even 8 gigs in the future. for the hard drive space, for movies and audio production im going to need something decent in size. thinking 500gigs i could always do something external in the future?
    i was also pondering the mini server, 2 500 gigs with 4gig ram and 2.53mhz. BUT lacking a super drive thats really no problem because im running an external lacie lightscribe.
    so im asking you guys/gals what would be the best route for me to take, price wise and bang for my buck to create a nice little video/audio machine?

    I also bought a new 3.06 Mhz IMac 21.5 in IMAC this spring. I was unfamiliar with the new miniport. I was on the phone with Apple Sales for buying a new MacBookPro and while ordering wanted to add on the cables necessary to accomplish connecting my new IMAC to my HDMI tv. I have been accustomed to connecting my old g4 laptop with adaptors and a long cable on end is HDMI and the other connects right into the video port out on my laptop. But the older method leaves you without sound.
    So...the Apple guy is in a hurry to sell me a computer and insists there is no Apple IMAC or MacBookPro which will work with video and sound to HDMI. I had the item in my inbasket at MacMall. I may be wrong. But I gave up on ordering it. I picked up an HDMI to HDMI extension cord at Best Buy and ordered the Mini video adapter to HDMI connector from Apple store. I haven't opened it yet or set it up. But what does one need to buy to make this work. Since the guy didn't help me. I had to buy it online separately. And since I had ready acct with Apple , just bought it there although it was about 15% cheaper at MCMALL.
    Please someone in the know or who watches their computer on their HDMI TV help tell me what cables to buy and where to connect them to my tv. I have a Sony Bravia and it has an internet thing on the side. I haven't used it for anything yet. I have cable/dvr,blue ray dvd, and input from laptop.
    Thanks in advance. Rheta in San Diego

  • 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.

  • Trouble with audio editing.

    I'm trying to re-edit a film clip from a previous FinalCut project. I only have the .mov file from the project, and imported that into FinalCut.
    Editing the video was no problem, but at random intervals, the audio is garbled and seems to have deteriorated. But it's not always garbled and it just happens to the vocal sounds.
    The original audio/video (.mov file) was in complete working condition. Any thoughts as to why the voice recordings go in and out of quality?

    .mov is a file type that contains MANY different codecs.
    What is the format/codec of your material?
    What are the settings of your editing sequence?
    How are you monitoring it?
