How do I capture audio only, no video?

I'm trying to capture an audio cassette, patched RCA/XLR to a Kona Card, to a G5 tower running FCP6. Since I want to capture audio only, I unchecked the video box in the clip settings tab of the LogCapture window. But when I capture now, I get a message saying "This operation could not be completed as there is no video".
How can I capture audio only? Can't turn off the video in Kona ctrl panel, must be in FCP.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, as I mentioned, I did uncheck that video box, after which I got the message 'operation could not be completed as there is no video' (& capture failed). My capture setting is to Kona, but I've also tried Generic, but no luck.
This then led to my first crash course in SoundtrackPro, which is now recording the audio I needed. But I would love to figure out why FCP is not letting me capture audio w/o video, so any further suggestions are appreciated.

How can I capture Audio Only?

Hello,
I have FCEHD 3.0 and would like to capture audio tracks only with Capture Now (from a non-controllable device via Canopus). There is no "Audio Only" option in the capture window. Any ideas??
Thanks,
C.J

Hi(Bonjour)!
No way to capture audio only with capture command.
Simply delete the video track in the timeline.
Or:
Plug your camcorder audio output in your in-line socket on your mac with an audio 1/8" wire, do a voice over record.
The resulting audio file will be a "analog" one.
You can also use a sound editing programm like Sound studio or audacity to capture your audio-in content, and import the resulting file in FCE.

Capturing audio only in fcp5

I am rather new to Final Cut Pro 5 and have been trying to teach myself as I go along. I am, however, having trouble capturing audio seperate from video. I am shooting a 16mm film and need to capture audio and video to seperate files in order to synch them for edit. While I am able to capture straight video (i.e. without audio) I am unable to capture straight audio (i.e. without video in the same file). The only way that I have been able to capture audio is if some form of video is captured along with it. How can I capture an audio only file. I am using FCP 5 on a PowerBook G4 - capturing through a "Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge" with a Canon ZR 45 for video and a Sony TCD D8 portable DAT for audio. Any information is greatly appreciated and I patiently await your response(s).
Thank you,
Tayman Strahorn

My welcome also but, as a beginner, you really need to run the tutorials and learn how to use the resources you paid for when you got your applications.
Look in the online help system for audio only. Look in the manual index for audio only. Examine the chapter on capturing.
How are you doing Video Only if you don't understand the Clip Settings function or where it is located?
You can force DV to build separate audio and video files while capturing but it's not recommended (dunno why not). If you force separate files, you can simply delete the ones you don't want.

How to Delete several Audio clips from Video clips on Timeline of APPro CS5

I would like to know how to delete multiple audio clips from Video clips at once in time line in APPro CS5? Please advice step-by-step procedure. I can DELETE audio from a single Video clip. But I wanted to DEL Audio from multiple video clips. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the advice given by Shooternz, Colin and Jim. Your help is much appreciated for a beginner like me... Jim's idea was also good..It worked for me and also safe if I need to use the original audio. Following method also found good...but previous audio clip cannot be extracted after deleting it. ... 1. Hold down "ALT" key first then select the first audio clip in the chain of video clips to Delete. 2. Hold down " Shift + Alt " keys together and click right mouse button on all audio clips to be deleted one by one. Make sure only audio clips are selected. 3. Then release ALT+Shift keys and then click right mouse button and select "Clear" from pull down menu to Delete all selected audio clips on the time line. This method works very well for me. Thanks for every one who has adviced me how to do it. Thanks guys... If u all find better method tha above...please inform us. Thx.

Stuck on "Capture Audio Only"

I'm new to Final Cut Express. I used to use Final Cut Pro at my old job at a news station. I'm a teacher now, and we got a new Mac with Final Cut Express. I created separate accounts for each of my classes using the Mac.
One of the classes somehow did something so that when you go to capture, it says something like "Capture Audio Only Selected." So, of course, it only captures audio and no video. None of the students know what they did to get it like that, and all the other accounts can capture video fine.
Where is the section where I can make it so it's not audio only? I know in Final Cut Pro there'd be two other tabs in the Capture window where I could change it, but in Express, there's only one tab: Capture. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

When I go into Preferences, I don't see any of the files you mention. The only Final Cut file I see is com.apple.RegFinalCutExpress.plist which I believe is the file that prompts me to register.

How do I capture good stills from video on Photoshop Elements 8?

I'm using Photoshop Elements 8. When I try to capture still photos from video clips, the results are not very satisfactory. Usually the stills are very unclear, not sharp like I want them to be. I have to make many attempts to capture a still before I can get one that's halfway clear.   Does it have to be this way?   What can I do to get consistently clear stills from video? Thank you!

Fair enough, Barbara. Thanks!

Frame from Video is more or less a legacy feature in PSE 8. It was meant to capture a frame or two from a short homemade video at a low resolution. It doesn't do HD video at all, and isn't meant for a clip that's more than a minute or so in length. It's been dropped from the latest version because nobody has those kinds of movies anymore.
So the bottom line is you're better off doing this with some other program than with PSE.

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.

Final Cut Express won't capture audio with the video anymore, why?

I have used Final Cut Express 4 for over a year now with no problems, but recently I am unable to capture any audio with the video from my camera. I can do it through iMovie no problem. I can't figure out if I changed a setting by accident because everything looks normal to me. Could another program be interfering with this? Quicktime Pro? I have no idea how to fix this.

First of all, we need a bunch of information in order to help. Please provide the specs of the footage and the sequence you are using. Also, are you using DV, HDV, or AVCHD? Do you hear audio when the clip is played in the viewer, or is there no audio at all once the clip is captured/ingested?

Video transfer to PC but got audio only, no video.????

hello,
I have a Curve, 8330. I took my first video, a one minute epic. It plays great on the BB. I was able to transfer it to my PC, but I only get audio, no video. I tried both an email transfer and a direct cable connect with ROXIO. It saved as a Quicktime file, but just won't play right. What am I doing wrong? I also tired opening it as a WMP player with the same results; audio but no video.
MDH

Let's be constructive:
BUT WHY doesn't it work? and how can we fix it/make it work?
my cheap 'non apple' video cable works fine initially, then a message pops up about it not being an 'offcial' cable or some such, then asks if I want to enable airplane mode (both with or without it already disabled), and disables video out completely. Contrary to the many others that have overpaid for your proprietary cables; I'm NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to pay you for your atrociously overpriced cables, because you're action of 'disabling' 3rd party cables is monopolistic in any sense, destroys any hope competition in this area, hinders innovation by third party peripheral developers, and is downright unamerican imho because it does so. You've gone to far this time apple! I've come to the conclusion, you obviously don't care about functionality, as your hardware is almost always overpriced, proprietary, good looking junk, and you keep shaking my pockets for more money with your overpriced accessories and constant barrage of itunes streamery.
Anyway, how can I use my device to do video out on this officially licensed apple dock I have? It doesn't seem to work; and I paid a lot of money for it. If there isn't a solution; maybe you should give out refunds for all the devices that now don't work? Thanks

How do I export audio only?

I have audio that needs cleaning up beyond what I know how to do and I want to send it off to a friend... the FCP Library is around 133GB so I'd like to just send the audio. How can I do that?
Using version 10.1.4
Thanks.

If you have Compressor, import a batch of your video files at a time into there and export as Audio only - something uncompressed like .aiff files.
It's VERY quick.
If you don't have Compressor, you can create a project in FCP X, drop a load of files onto it, and then Share > Master File (choose Audio only again) .aiff (or similar uncompressed).
You'll need to re-import these files into your projects after they are returned - there are various ways to do that.

How to edit both audio tracks with video that has two tracks?

I have video that has 2 tracks with it. Both however are marked ch. 1 on the premiere timeline. The properties say they are 48000 hz audio. Now when i hilight both tracks and right click to edit in Audition, only one comes over. I am wondering a few things here. Why are they both the same channel and how can i edit both of them at once since they ae exactly the same in Audition? Do i even need both tracks?

Well, that's another nasty problem with multicam editing in PP. It cuts only the video but not both. The audio track is always that of the first selected clip (of that in the first video track) when I create a multicam sequence. I have manually to open it in the timeline, enable or disable certain audio tracks, go back to the sequence and cut. But when I have to switch the audio for only some camera angles it is impossible, because I can only change the audio track for the whole sequence. Or do I miss something? Maybe it is another cool "design feature"?

Audio Only, No Video on QT Pro 7 w MPEG-2 Component.

Hello,
I am having a problem which is described by many others. I have several videos (from my digital TV tuner card) which are MPEG2 video encoded with MPEG1 audio encoding. I've got QT Pro (7.1.5) as well as the MPEG2 playback component. However, when I open MPEG-2 muxed files all I get is audio and a white screen. The files play back perfectly in Windows Media Player.
I'm also curious if this is a install issue with the MPEG2 playback component? When I downloaded the MPEG2 component install file form Apple store and then ran it, the installation screen said "For Quicktime 6". How do I know if the component has been successfully installed?
And I have also tried opening them in Stream Clip but have the same audio-only problem. I've also tried viewing the files in QT's safe mode.
Any help would me much appreciated.

As you have discovered, QT does not support the export of sound from muxed mpeg files. Fortunately, this freeware will export to several formats. It also allows you to do some editing of mpegs without re-encoding if that is desired: Mpeg StreamClip
