Hi8 capture audio/video problem

I have a Sony TRV740 that will capture my Hi8 movies through Firewire but iMovie will drop the audio every half second or so and when I play the video back it plays at twice the normal speed. Any suggestions?

No, but I can use Google.
Don't use DV NTSC Basic. Use regular DV NTSC, unless your audio is 32k, in which you'll have to make a 32k DV NTSC preset. There might be a problem with the FW800 connector. Quite a few people are reporting problems with these cables. Definitely use the rear FireWire port. Do you have any other devices connected?

Is there a way to CAPTURE audio/video off the net then run it m.m. prsntn

I'm fairly new to the mac genre. In windows we had apps like Camtasia to
capture audio/video off the net. I was hoping something like that would
be avail for the mac and then once capture it how would I edit it and
include it in a presentation software; for example, keynote?
Is there added hardware req'd (?Capture board)? what would be a good software mac
compatible?

I'd like to capture audio and video for example sometimes just need to capture the
audio if some instruction is coming say over a quicktime or media player for my work.
Then sometimes I need to capture the audio and video when they ware actually showing me
charts and explaining them things like that.
is snap Z the way to go then for quality and fair pricing to get good results.
Do we have any resident applications already on the ilife variety that could be utilized for
something like this or is the only way to go through a 3rd party vendor?

Capturing audio & video at different rates

I have a Panasonic PV-GS700 camcorder, and use primarily Sony DVC Premium mini-DV tapes. For as long as I can remember, when I capture a long section of tape (maybe the entire hour), I wind up with a clip whose audio and video are at slightly different speeds, getting more and more out of sync the longer the clip.
I spend a ridiculous amount of my editing time meticulously adjusting the speed of the video, and it doesn't always seem to be off by the same factor.
My capture settings are usually Firewire NTSC / DV NTSC 48 kHz but sometimes I have changed to "Noncontrollable Device" if I am capturing an entire tape and I don't want to get hung up on capture errors. The firewire cable is normally routed through a firewire hub, but I have also observed the same problem when it is connected directly to the computer.
I'm curious:
1. if there is some setting I can change to fix this problem with audio & video capturing at different speeds?
2. is it likely to be a problem with my camcorder or the software? Are there decks that just handle playback of mini-DV tapes and work reliably with Final Cut Pro?

The camera says 16-bit in playback.
When I'm playing the tape from the camera and watching the viewscreen, the audio & video are in sync; it's only the captured DV file that runs at different speeds.
At this point, I'm considering a newer camcorder which shoots in HD and saves to a hard drive or SD card, such as a Canon VIXIA HF200. Would such a audio/video sync problem even be possible with that sort of camcorder?
(PS: If you were anyone other than Tom Wolsky, I would definitely be dubious that there is any part of my camcorder called a "timing crystal"... it sounds like cheezy sci-fi or Napoleon Dynamite )

FCE4 Capturing Audio/Video Out of Synch

I run a school video lab and all of a sudden we have started to have major isues capturing HD video from our Canon Vixia cameras (both 30s and 40s). The audio and video is out of synch and I cannot figure out why. We are on iMacs running OS10.5 or above and capturing through firewire 800 cables.
Our only salvation has been to capture through iMovie and then edit the footage in FCE.
Any thoughts?

Hi8 capture into FCP problem...

FCP is not recognizing the camcorder I have connected to the computer in order capture Hi8 tapes. I believe that this setup should work, but perhaps someone knows more about it.
I have a digital 8mm camcorder that plays hi8 tapes and has a firewire connection. It is the smallest one, the 4pin, so I bought a 4pin to 9pin adapter to put it through the firewire 800 port on my MacPro.
I set the Capture Preset to DV NTSC Basic, and I clicked non-controllable device in the Capture window. Actually, once it saw it and captured an audio file with nothing on it I have tried all those old tricks like shutting down the computer and starting up again with the camera on. I've tried two different ports; the back and front.
I guess the problem could be the adaptor; but I want to check all the settings/presets against those that people have used successfully. If anyone has experience with this, please tell me how you did it!
Thanks!

No, but I can use Google.
Don't use DV NTSC Basic. Use regular DV NTSC, unless your audio is 32k, in which you'll have to make a 32k DV NTSC preset. There might be a problem with the FW800 connector.

FCE and QT PRO Analog Capture Audio sync problems

I have had major problems importing analog content into a DV quicktime movie and having the audio match.
First example: using a sony digital 8 camera with old hi-8 tapes (the camera does the analog to digital conversion) I open final cut express HD capture now or new movie recording in QT pro, and go for the whole tape or tv show. beginning is usually ok, but if i stop and start the camera, fast forward through commercials while capturing, or let the source end before i stop the capture It seems the audio becomes un-synced. usually lags by 1 sec or so, but sometimes the audio comes early by a few frames. sometimes progressivly getting worse later in the capture, sometimes the whole thing is off by the same amount. If i capture between camera starts and stops i have no problems.
Second example: using a pyro AV firewire analog converter, I get the same behavior when trying to capture in Final cut Express HD and QT pro.
My guess is that since there is no timecode on the analog source that somehow messes things up, but why do these programs shift the audio on me?

Most likely cause is your photographer changed the audio rate from 44.1k or 48k to something else.
Aside from that, no, it's highly unlikely it is the software. It's easy to blame FCP for this stuff, and we love to do it, but the capture from DV over FW is a complete clone of a digital file, nothing is being changed by FCP or QT during the process, unless your settings have been tweaked and that's a user decision.
If simply sliding the audio back into sync is not an option, dub the tapes to another DV deck via FW (producing a clone, not a generational loss) and capture form the dubs. You can experiment with a short take or two.
If the audio sync issue persists, it's the original footage, not FCP.

Creative ZEN audio video problem.

!C. Hello Everyone,
I've got a SDHC card 8GB in my ZEN and I converted some family guy videos which are perfect if I play them on the computer.
I have put all the episodes of family guy on my ZEN and when I played it, it just played but the longer it plays the more the video stays behind on the audio. But when I play the SAME episodes which I put on my ZEN, on the computer it just works fine...
HEEEEEELP!!!

That sounds like a software conversion problem. Try using this program http://forums.creative.com/creativel...thread.id=2983? to encode the video & then? load it on the card. I've used it & it works really good,fast & no playback issues. It also has a preset for the Zen

Sequence Nesting Audio/Video problem

I am nesting sequences, when I playback Sequence One which houses all sequences, there are audio pops (meaning every audio in-cue literally pops) and certain video stutters especially chyrons. When I open each sequence separately for palyback this does not occur. I completed a project recently before this one and this did not happen. I have not changed any presets or preferences.
Help! Thanks in Advance.

Have you methodically rendered & mixed down each sequence individually and then also rendered & mixed down your master 'Sequence One'?

SCCM 2012 Client and Workstation Audio and Video Problems

SCCM 2012 SP1 environment.
We have pushed out the SCCM Client successfully to our systems - however we have found that on some computers the SCCM Client is causing an audio/video problem - specifically it appears to be with computers that connect monitors via DVI. As an example,
on my laptop (Dell e6420, Win7 x64) I have a docking station that connects my laptop to 2 external monitors. With the SCCM Client installed I cannot listen to music or watch videos - the result is an unusable choppiness/stuttering listening to music
and with a video the audio and video get out of sync. As well, my mouse no longer functions smoothly - it jumps around. This happens whether accessing content from a website or simply a local file on my computer. If I uninstall the SCCM client,
the issue goes away entirely. I have tried disabling the SMS and Remote control services but doing so does not resolve the issue, only a client uninstall. Note that this only happens when the laptop is on the docking station - with DVI - it doesn't
happen when the laptop is running without an external monitor or if plugged into an HDMI output device.
At first we believed this was limited to this model of laptop in our environment (Win8 or Win7 - both result in the same problem), but now we are hearing about "audio and video issues" on Dell 990 workstations as well. I believe these stations
have DVI connected monitors. Driver updates do not appear to resolve the issue.
Has anyone experienced this in their environment? Note that this happens on imaged workstations and workstations installed from a vanilla Windows 7 or 8 CD.

Try installing the client without Silverlight and see if it helps (this is only used for the Application Catalog).

Capture audio only selected

When I capture, I only get the audio but not the video. On the capture screen, it is indeed written "Video Preview Deactivated" and "Capture Only Audio selected". So result seems in line with some settings but which one ? How can I change this?
This is my first FCE (4.0.1) project. I made a first test and I could capture audio and video without any problem and then suddenly I could not capture audio&video together. My video is Sony HDR-HC9 but I made a test on my MacBookPro and also captured audio & video together without any problem, so it is not linked to the video.
I compared Easy config (DV-PAL), User settings, System settings between MacPro and MacBookPro and were identical ! I'm getting completey lost. Is there any Capture settings menu?
Thanks in advance for your support,
François.

"Is there any Capture settings menu?"
Yes. Easy Setups.
First, identify the specs of the footage the camera shoots for both video and audio.
Video properties like DV, Anamorphic(16:9)etc. need to match.
Cameras shoot in 12 or 16 bit audio that matches 32 or 48 kHz Easy Setups respectively.
Once the correct Easy Setup is selected and saved for the Sequence, then, you can capture with those settings applied.

Windows 8.1 Audio/Video Stuttering/Sticking

I just got my Pavilion Touchsmart yesterday and I'm already having audio/video problems. I first noticed it while watching videos on youtube. Videos at a higher definition stutter more than videos at a lower definition. But now I'm noticing it while playing games. It will freeze for about a second and the audio will repeat, but then it will go back to normal. It's doing this several times a minute and I can't stand it any more.
It's a 12 gb laptop, so I'm not sure what could be causing it.
The audio driver that I am using is a Realtek High Definition Audio.

Capture Audio via Digital in Port?

This seems like a basic issue, but I can't find the answer - Is there a way to set my audio capture / input to come in via the Digital in port (TOSLINK, S/PDIF)? I'd like to do this separately from the video capture input. I've found connection information in the FCP documentation, but haven't been able to figure out the settings in the software.
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. So, just to be clear I'll have to run the source twice, once to capture using one of the audio apps and once in FCP to capture the video? I won't be able to capture audio / video at the same time using FCP (audio from the Digital in port and Video from my BlackMagic card)?
