Audio Scratches when viewing on outside monitor

I'm not certain why this happens. When I go to view the timeline outsourcing it to a TV monitor. I get a warpped sound along with scratching. It sounds great in the computer, but that doesn't help me. I can never get a clean transfer to burn on DVD.
Any thoughts!
Emac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

It's under the Sequence menu.
Too many audio tracks and changes can overwhelm a systen resulting in bits being left out.
Mixing Down makes a temp audio file that puts all the audio tracks into one. Your Mac now uses this file rather than accessing all the individual bits of audio from various places on your system.

Video and audio sync when viewing clips online

When viewing clips, like on youtube, the graphics start playing, however there is no sound, only after a few seconds the graphics freeze and the sound that was missing starts playing and the graphics resume when they're in sync again.
Also when I pause a video and click play the clip will not resume and I have to click the "time bar" and then it will play.
My 13 MB Pro starts furiously blowing the cooling fan and consuming battery life when viewing clips on most video sites.
How can I fix these things?
This already happened before upgrading to Lion, btw.

Are you capturing this thru the LS? and what is the format you are digitizing? DV? or uncompressed? Would be best I'd think if you don't capture audio and video as separate files too. That leads to problems especially with DV captures.
How are you monitoring the audio and video? all from computer or? You could be in sync and not know it if you are using computer speakers for monitoring audio when watching video externally for example.
If you monitor both from the computer and it is in sync, but not when you record to video, I'd suggest that you export a self contained movie of this material and import that for the print to the beta... I'll wager that will keep your sync. If this doesn't help, might want to post this in the AJA KONA forum at http://www.creativecow.net Might be something to do with your LS, not sure but do have the latest drivers installed on it...

Search help does not work when view context is mapped to comp context

Hello,
I am trying to display search help for an input field of a view. The context to which the input field is bound is a node with an attribute. I have specified Dictionary Search help for the attribute. Now when I execute the application, I am able to get the search help in the screen.
But, I need to map this view context node to its comp controller context. When I do the mapping, the search help does not appear when executed.
It would be a great help if someone can point out an answer to this.
Thanks,
Maya

Hi Maya
Follow these steps:
1.Delete the context node/attribute which is bound to search help from the View.
2.Now Save metadata.
3.Perform Context mapping again .In the Edit Context Mapping window drag the node/attribute FROM RIGHT PANE TO LEFT PANE and select the entry.
4.Delete the Input Field from the view.
5.Save again
6.Close NWDS and reopen it.
7.Create input field again and bind it to the context element.
Hope this solves the problem.
Regards
Ananda

Can't adjust audio slider when viewing video

I just got the January update a couple of days ago. When viewing movie I cannot change the audio level using the slider. I can still move the video forward/back slider and the pause/play button. Can someone help?

It now seems I'm having problems with any icon or control on the very leftmost side of the screen. It can several touches to get any thing to respond. Anyone heard of any defects like this?

How can I get FCP to just send the video (without audio) from the viewer?

Is there a way to select only the video portion of a clip when sending it from the viewer to the timeline? Currently I am taking the whole clip, de-linking the video from audio and then deleting the audio - not exactly the fastest workflow.

Neil - Thanks for the suggestion but I am a bit more confused now but perhaps I wasn't as clear as I could be either. I am trying to drag clips into the timeline and superimpose them over other clips and I want to be able to drag only the audio or the video from the viewer to the timeline. Is this possible?

Help with audio out when plugging into 3.5" jack on a MacBook's combo input

With my old iMac, I used to plug my guitar into the 3.5" microphone jack* and either used the computer's speakers or plug headphones into the separate headphone port for audio out.
Now I have MacBook Air with a headphone/mic combo port. I checked the sound settings in System Preferences and couldn't select speakers for external audio. Is there a way to assign audio-out to the speakers and keep audio-in assigned to the mic/headphone port? Or am I going to need to buy some dongle or adapter now?
*How did I connect a guitar to the 3.5" port? I used a generic computer speaker wire (3.5" on each side) and plugged a 3.5" to 1" adapter (the kind you use for stereo headphones) into the guitar.

Hi Tim -
Please bear with me because I am no Apple expert. However, I do remember reading something that might help you out.
You wrote that you store your sound libraries are installed on an external drive. Someone, who posted either here or on another Logic bulletin board, basically stated that problems may occur if an external hard disk drive that carries the sound libraries is FAT32 or NTFS formatted (formatted for a Windows-based computer). Apparently, an external hard disk drive utilized for sound libraries should be formatted as *Mac OS Extended* (not journaled). (I hope that someone more expert on this subject will either validate this claim or suggest another option.)
Try doing a Search in this forum for more information on this subject. But I think how that external drive is formatted might make a difference on performance for the Mac computer.
I come from the PC world as well. I like both the Apple and PC systems. But I really like working with the Logic program.
Good luck to you
Ted

Please help salvage audio from QT Pro recording after crash, many thanks!!!

I was audio-recording in QuickTime Pro. I forgot I had the recording running and put the computer to sleep. When I did a message came up saying that QuickTime had unexpectedly quit. I found the file that had been recording on my desktop, and the size of it suggests that the material is there. But, when I open it in QuickTime, I receive the error message:
Error opening the movie.
The movie could not be opened.
I checked my recording preferences: it is set to Automatic
Quality: Better (H.264)
It says beneath that the audio is 128 kbps AAC; although the file is saved with a ".mov" extension.
The only trouble-shooting I tried was at the advice of a friend which was to duplicate the file and add ".raw" as the extension and open it in Audacity. I did this and it imported the file as an MP3 but just played about 5 seconds of gibberish.
I would greatly appreciate anyone who can help me salvage this audio!!!!!

Any help or direction would be appreciated.
The first step is to determine the audio compression format. If the file loads into the QT 7 Pro Player, the check the "Format:" line in the inspector or the audio track in the "Properties" window. Once you/we know what audio compression format and/or the settings used, then it may be possible to tell the specific nature of the problem, wether or not it is normal, and how to solve the problem.

Help with audio from slide show

Used Photoshop Elements 8.0 to create slide show. After adding audio, reviewed show several times with no issue. Then, began having issue of show playing and audio to start with, then audio cuts out and slide show continues. Went ahead and exported to Premiere Elements 8.0 and audio played all the way through in review. Exported to DVD. Plays fine on DVD players, but when I attempt to play on computer, in Windows Media Player, audio( music) plays for a while then cuts out. If I stop and close player, and then open again show picks up where left off, and appropriate music plays, but only for awhile and then cuts out. Am making several copies of this DVD for others to play. Some will use DVD player, some will use computer. Dont' understand. Need help.

Have you tried to play the DVD on a different computer to see if it's your computer or the DVD?
The fact it plays fine on your DVD player makes me think it might be something wrong with your computer.

Help: Iweb is distorted when viewed by PC users

I'm sure this must be addressed somewhere, but I don't know where. On my iweb blog, I put pictures with text underneath & everything looks fine on my mac. However if I (and others) look at the same pages using my PC, it's not aligned, words and images have shifted, etc.
What's going on here?

Hello,
It is possible to do rollovers and dropdowns, but unfortunately if you go beyond the beautiful but basic templates, you will have to use html. I have been visiting www.iwebfaq.org and http://web.mac.com/catucker/InsideOutside/iWeb.html quite a bit lately. These sites have walkthroughs and tips on using and going beyond the boundaries of iweb.
I have my own fairly basic website made with iweb if you have some spare time. mymusetellslies.com
It doesn't have any rollovers yet, but I'm not on a tight schedule. As for the problems in explorer or safari, there are some issues that are bugs in those problems and can't be worked around, but I found that many issues were resolved by keeping your boxes neat. For example, if you let a text box flow into another, that seems more likely to cause problems. The fix is simple: resize the boxes so they do not touch and that eliminates many problems.
As for the site map problem and google, that is a pain and problems stem from the navigation bar being java and not just regular links. I would recommend that you recreate the nav bar with text links to solve that problem. The two sites mentioned above go into details about that, and free or cheap programs that will help you build the site.
I personally wish Apple would buy up one of the smaller software companies like sandvox and make iweb pro, like the bought emagic to make logic pro. The ilife and iwork programs are fantastic, but it is a shame that some of the best computers for image work are not supported by the company that makes them in the web design arena, but adobe does have a **** tight lock on a lot of that world.

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/audition/using/extracting-audio-cds.html

Unfortunately that is correct in CS6. Hopefully it will be rectified in any future versions. Make sure that you request it in the Bugs and New Features request page.

How do I move aiff files from the viewer to the timeline-it is not working when I click and drag or when I try to move the files to the overwrite or insert buttons-Thanks.

hi
You cannot move audio from the viewer
Mark your in and out points then in the browser grab hold of the audio tracks icon and drag that to the time line

Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.

I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer." I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated

Hard Drive: The Hard Drive is on my camera (Sony Handycam)
Just needed some info on what is going on with your particular system.
Knowing the exact camera model will also assist us.
If this camera is standard AVCHD you should be able to connect with USB to Mac with FCE open and use Log and Transfer without all the fiddling around converting etc.
What FCE does during ingest is convert files to AIC. (Apple Intermediate Codec)
FCE cannot read the individual files in the BDMV folder, that's why all the converting is required when you use that method.
BTW: regards formatting drives/cards/memory on cameras; it is wise to use the actual device to format rather than a computer. This is a prime cause of read/write goof ups with solid state media. This applies to still or video cameras.
Keeping the COMPLETE card/memory structure in tact is vital for successful transfers.

When I try to import clips from my Sony Handycam HDR-CX150 only non-HD clips show up.

When I try to import clips from my Sony Handycam HDR-CX150 only non-HD clips show up. I have imported HD content successfully many times before. Any suggestions?

iMovie's supported cameras site shows this for your camera:
The supported camera site is here:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
Apparently the import problem was resolved in update 9.0.1 (the latest version of iMovie '11 is 9.0.2) - see the article link in my first post above.
