How to Mute audio when capturing

Does anyone know how to mute the audio when capturing HDV. The preview check box is only available when capturing dv. I'd like to be able to use the computer's sound for other things while capturing

Hi Ian, actually there is no "Preview" button in the HDV specific Log and Capture window (which is different from the normal Log and Capture window) so there is no way to mute the audio passthrough when capturing HDV.
Sabapp, asking for an update here is futile, you are talking only to other users. If you want to send feedback, report bugs, make feature requests etc then you should do so on the feedback page here:

Is there a way to mute audio when capturing video?

I have the FCPX installed and want to background capture video without listening to the audio. There was a small preview checkbox with the audio meteres in FCP 7. Is there a similar option in FCPX?

Yea, that certainly works, but it doesn't let me do anything else that requires listening to audio.

A way to adjust audio when capturing video?

I transfered some video/audio and am having distortion in some audio.
The original audio does not peak and when I captured it in Premiere CS6, it is not peaking out, but when I play back, I can hear occasional distortion. The video is up at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNNgJiZMrRA
Does this sound like it is overmodulating or is something else happening?
Is there a way to adjust audio when capturing audio or is it a straight feed? Wondering if I can lower the audio input to try to fix.
thanks in advance for your help,
Charlie

How are you capturing the content? Because in my experince premiere doesn't have a way to adjust the audio levels of what your capturing. However if you post how you are capturing the footage in more detail I might be able to help. Please tell me exactly how you have everything hooked up.
For example if you have the camera hooked straight to the computer or if you're using a capture card if so what kind. Some capture cards have audio gain settings which might be causing the issue. Also some decks and cameras have audio playback volume settings which can also cause audio to be sent to premiere louder than what it started as. So if you give more detail I may be able to offer some sort of help.
One thing you might try though to remove that distortion is too add a lowpass filter to the audio, and start off by setting the low pass filter to like 3000 and just adjust by 500 up or down from there until the distortion goes away. I've had to do this in the past with audio that's distorted before. (Although I haven't experinced the specific issue you're experincing before.) Although it will make the persons voice sound muffled it will take most of the distortion out. Which getting rid of distortion at the cost of making it sound somewhat muffled is a decent trade off if worse comes to worse and you can't get the issue figured out.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion my 2009 (early 2010) iMac mutes audio when awaking or when it goes to sleep. Anybody else having the problem?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion my 2009 (early 2010) iMac mutes audio when awaking or when it goes to sleep. Anybody else having the problem? My other iMacs are not having that problem. I'm not sure if I am missing an option somewhere or what is going on.

How? System audio when screen recording

Anyone know how to record system audio when screen recording in Lion? I've been trying to use the Quicktime Player record. I've trying to avoid spending gobs of money on a 3rd party app I'll only use rarely. Any help at all would be great.

Hi hurdlefaster,
Though the suggestion above is valid, you might not want to
use it ("Resize") as the answer because it can be tricky to use,
and because it
always results in a much larger file. I think a better way
to accomplish what you want is to create the background image you
want in your image editor, making sure it is sized as you want it,
then make that image the desktop image.
The image you create might have a vertical (height) of 500
pixels, and a horizontal (width) of 740 pixels. Of the horizontal
740 pixel size, you might use 180 pixels on the left for a TOC or
Index area, 20 pixels as a "border" area, and last, a "content"
area of 540 pixels on the far right.
Then place your recording red-rectangle around the whole
image on your desktop, with the application to be captured placed
in the 540 pixel "content" area.
This works ... I've used the concept for years ... and it
doesn't result in a bloated file, as the "Resize" operation most
certainly will. Hope this helps. I'll be happy to give you some
sample images if you contact me privately with a link to this
thread. My email address is catbandit (AT) pcabcs (DOT) com.
G'day!

Final Cut Express: No audio when capturing from camcorder

When capturing video from my "Sony TRV 18" digital camcorder and a Canon ZR500 digital camcorder
into Final Cut Express 4.0.1 via fire wire to my scratch disk - a LaCie external hard drive -
I get the video in my browser but it has no accompanying audio.
When I move a captured clip from the browser to the viewer and time line, the video shows up, but (1) there is no accompanying audio shown in the audio time line, (2) no audio can be heard and (3) the audio meters show no action.
My Easy Setup settings for audio match my camera audio settings.
I've used different firewires between the camera and the scratch disk. Still the same.
This has been a problem for about a month. Everything worked fine before. To make project deadlines, I have worked around this anomaly by capturing clips in IMovie 4 on my older Mac laptop than transferring the media clips to my Final Cut Express scratch disk. That works, but it is time consuming and requires rendering of all the audio.
I use an IMac with OSX 10.6.5 with 266 GHz intel Core i5.
Thank you in advance for any tips that could help.

Hi Sid
I get the video in my browser but it has no accompanying audio.
YES - This is the way FinalCut Express AND Pro works !
If You need the audio - Then You connect a small set of speakers to Your miniDV Camera
(headphone out)
alt. if no phono-out on Camera is to connect a small TV to the Camera analog way
and here You can both see and hear during Capture
(BTW - Connecting a small TV (or if §§§§§ is no problem a reference monitor
§5-10,000 or even more) is a Very good way of keeping Quality control during
editing process. Eg Transitions, audio levels, color fidelity etc. I do and the
ref monitor are well compared to my final DVDs.)
There are NO WAY that You can monitor audio during Capture in any FinalCut versions !

No audio when capturing from vcr using canopus100

When I log and capture, the video is there, and the audio tracks "show up", however, the audio cannot be heard during capture (previewed), nor is it heard when I export the movie using QuickTime conversion.
I exported the file as a QT movie and played it back in QT, and of course, no audio.
Which switch have I not thrown here?
Thanks
JD

OK, I suppose it would help to know the details to provide a proper analysis of the situation.
1) Canopus 100 is connected to vcr through the s-video input, and the audio is going in through the standard mini-jack interface.
2) FCP Capture Settings are:
Device Control: Non-Controllable Device
Capture/Input: DV NTSC 48 KHz Copy
Scratch Disk Free Space = 852.3 GB
3) The audio tracks "show up" when I do a capture...meaning, there are 2 tracks placed in the timeline. I can view some audio activity in the Waveform Monitor, but I do not actually hear any audio.
On that note, audio plays fine when capturing video from my Sony PD150.
Also, when using the same set up with the Canopus using iMovie, the audio previews, captures, and plays back just fine.
Thanks again. Any additional info needed just let me know. I really appreciate it!

Cannot hear audio when capturing video.

I'm an owner of a skate shop. I doing filming frequently, and just recently got my first Mac computer. I got FCE4 for capturing and editing my footage for a video that I'm working on. Just started using it today, have no idea how to get the audio to play WHILE I'm capturing the tape. It will play in the timeline after it's done capturing, but I'd like to be able to hear it (without plugging in headphones or speakers to the camera) while I'm capturing it. A friend told me it could possibly be an easy fix... any suggestions? Is it something as easy as checking or unchecking a box????

No easy fix as Tom relates.
Does your camera have a small built in speaker?
That will work if the volume is turned up.

No audio when capturing on imovie

When i plug in my dv camera i go onto import on imovie and the clip plays and i can capture it but no sound is on the video on my computer? i have reinstalled imovie and it didnt work and restarted my imac, why isnt there any sound? it had sound once and i imported a clip with sound and now i get nothing? anyone know what it could be?

I've been trying to take movies I made with our Sony digital camera, exporting them through quicktime to iMovie, but in changing the movie to MPEG4 it loses its audio and in fact, when I go to convert the from MPEG1 to MPEG4, the info window tells me "no audio track in source movie."
Multiplexed compression formats like MPEG-1 are not conversion compatible with the QT structure. Use an MPEG-based, third-party application like MPEG Streamclip (free) instead.

No audio when capturing with quicktime 10.2

Typically I use a Sony DSR-40 or my Canon XL2 as a source for miniDV tapes and Quicktime 10.4 to capture on my Mac Mini (late 2012) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Recently, the video is capturing fine but usually, not always, there's no audio on the captured file. While I'm importing, the QT audio meter is moving properly like it's monitoring the audio.
I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling QT but saw posts that say it's "a structure embedded in the in the platform's operating system. To remove/replace it, you would have to delete/reinstall the entire operating system."
I'm forced to use iMovie for capturing, not as good as QT used to be working for me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks, you nailed it. For some inexplicable reason, the audio source changed. Didn't even know that option through the triangle was available.
And yes, know about screen capture, but I do that directly through my Mac with Ctl+Shift +3. When David mentioned it, I thought he was somehow referring to the New Movie Recording I was doing with QT.
Cmd-Shift-3 snaps a picture of the (whole) screen (and Cmd-Shift-4 lets you select part of the screen).
QT records what happens on the screen (or part of if) live as a movie - excellent for providing video instructions!

No audio when capturing via iSight

I begin working with iMovie '08 today. First thing I try to do is capturing my speaking face with the integrated iSight.
When I play the clip (in any way: just skimming / preview / full screen play, etc.) no audio comes out. Is it ok?
I mean: I know that iSight it's just a camera with no mic. But I expected my mac to automatically record audio from the integrated mic.
P.S.: I checked out all the preferences: active mic is the integrated mic (not the line-in mic, which I do not have), volume is ok, no iPod connected (no interferences)... so, I don't know what else I have to check...
Thank you

... er... I solved it by myself ... I just forgot to check "Sound" Preferences ...
active mic was external mic ... that's why I didn't capture sound ... sorry

How to mute/unmute when on a call? (iphone and ipa...

when I first come onto a skype call on the iPhone, i see the options to mute etc. Once I mute, I cannot find those options again- the mute, speakers etc buttons. how do I get to it?

basically how to access the muting options again?? after first accepting call, then you look at group chat (maybe because its a group its a problem) can't find the mute/speakers/volume etc again.
anyone who does group calls on ios will probably know. i appreciate any help.

How to release audio when another account has control?

Sometimes I find that there's no audio available when I log in. Invariably, I find it's because another account on the machine has tied up the audio (e.g. if flash player is running with audio in Safari).
That account is dormant, but still it blocks audio from working in the account I'm in.
Everything comes right if I log that user out, but then I get complaints later of their apps and work being all shut down when they come back. So I shouldn't have to do this. Doing it is a nuisance for me, too, since there seems to be no good interface to check what each user is running and log them out from within my account. (I wish there were an administrators' account manager that looked a bit like ARD for this.)
How do I get audio to work for the account that's active, without forcibly logging other users out?

Hi sinious,
Thanks for your valuable reply. I tried to do the same as you suggested. But It simply plays the voice over as a stream regardless of the slides.
Meant before finish to display 1st slide the 2nd voice over starts playing. By the time of displaying 10th slide it plays 15th slides voice over. This doesn't solve the purpose.
One more point I want to add in, that is I have all the voice over for 20 slides placed in one layer and all slides are placed in one layer at certain intervals.
Please educate me with some other solutions.
Thanks in advance.

Hearing the audio when Capturing video

You folks are the best. My new question deals with capturing video. I can only hear the audio if i go th the clip settings and check the audio box. I know there is a way to have that automaticly happen every time I capture. I am baffled. I have tried to find a way in all the set up things and can't. What have I done or what am I doing wrong? It did it in my other Mac, until I updated.
Do I have to check that box every time?
Thanks, Jon Kessler
PS: i tried to find out about it in the manual but had no luck.
