IMove to FCE using XML - audio problem

Hi everybody,
I am exporting a movie from iMovie 08 to FCE using xml. The conversion seems successful, but resulting FCE sequence uses 2 mono tracks, each panned completely on the left channel (I hear both tracks only on left speaker). I tried also using audio from iMovie thumbs cache but the problem is the same...
The movie is 100 minutes long with many clips, some title and transitions.
I tried converting a shorter movie made from the same original clips, and its audio was ok in FCE...
What can I do?
Thanks in advance,
Paolo

After further trial and error I discovered that if I remove all transitions from the iMovie, the audio is correctly imported as stereo and the video and audio tracks are linked together for each clip. Also in this case the stereo track is panned to -1 but this is correct, since it means that FC outputs each stereo channel to its own speaker.
Using transitions in iMovie creates in FCE three unlinked tracks for video, audio1 and audio2. Each audio track is separately panned to -1 and this is the wrong passage... to hear the sound correctly I should pan all the audio2 clips to 1...
I suspect some transition to be imported erroneously...
Ciao,
Paolo

  • Using xml schema problem (SAP MDM 7.1 Syndicator)

    Good day !
    I try to syndicate directory which correspond to some xml-schema and I have a problem.
    I want to syndicate data from hierarchy table  which have one field which have a type like lookup <Flat> (multivalued).
    In XML-schema element "DEF_PRODUCT" and "DEF_PRODUCT_CODE" - attribute presents hierarchy table.
    "CREDIT_PRODUCT" and childs presents  linked flat table.
    According idea and business rules I must get the result like this: each  "DEF_PRODUCT" have N-"CREDIT_PRODUCT". One - to- many.
    But when I set up all map completely and look to xml result file I start to be disappointed.
    XML result file approximately must be like this: 
    <DEF_PRODUCT>
        <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
        <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
        <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
    </DEF_PRODUCT>
    but in result I have all <CREDIT_PRODUCT>  in one node and child attributes.
    I attach 3 pics which explain my situation.
    xml-schema :[http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/6/3/upload/42ca6ca8.jpg]
    field mapping: [http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/6/a/upload/bbbc09f2.jpg]
    example: [http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/c/c/upload/817b0e23.jpg]
    Anybody can help me?
    About software : SAP MDM 7.1 (7.1.04.139)
    P.S: My problem can be resolved succesfully if I will use 1 <main> table and 1 <qualified flat> table.
           But in my case I must use hierarchy - structure because it  most usable for business - users

    If SAP MDM will present many opportunities to me I will be very glad.
    I repeat I must get output xml which have the pair like "RemoteKey"="RemoteSystem" in tuple subnode.
    In tuple, after your advices.
    Ideally, Syndicator must present to each user ability to choose pair "RemoteKey" = "RemoteSystem" in each subnode like <LookUp> table in root (look at my example pic).
    Imagine  you have one root table and N-linked <lookup> tables.
    Tree like this :
    <main tbl>
      <subtbl1/>
      <subtbl2/>
      <subtbl3>
         <childtbl1/>
         <childtbl2/>
      </subtbl3>
    </main tbl>
    It's dangerous to deprive SAP MDM user to select  pair "RemoteKey" = "RemoteSystem" from ROOT to ALL and LAST LEAF in abstract hierarchy. How do you think ?
    Now, I haven't abilities to solve my problem using standard resources. Really ?

  • NO audio capture when importing imovie to FCE

    I am following the Apple tutorials to get me started on FCE, but have fallen down at the 1st hurdle.
    When I import a saved XML file from imovie into FCE there is no audio capture.
    I am getting the video/clip audio but I have added music from itunes to my imovie's as well and nothing seems to be coming across I just get a red line across the top of the clips and a bleeping noise.
    Anyone have any ideas?.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    This "red line" and "bleeping noise" are generally signs that the audio does not match your sequence within FCE. FCE can only edit natively AIFF files at either 48kHz or 32kHz. Music from iTunes is not AIFF, so FCE needs to render out the audio to play it.
    So here's what I'd do:
    1. Click Option-R to render everything out. Chances are this may solve your problem.
    2. If this doesn't help, it may be because it is iTunes music and FCE doesn't let you use copyrighted material. For a way around this issue, look over this link:

  • EPIC and disturbing audio problem in FCE

    I'm editing footage I shot in DV standard on my Canon HV30 in Final Cut Express. I originally imported with iMovie HD and then dragged the files over to final cut later. I rendered all the audio, but when I went back to play it, the audio was strangely looped over itself and repeating. It's hard to explain, and even harder to understand because the audio is of a crowd at a sporting event and therefore not predictable. After listening for a few seconds, and inexplicably loud tone started blaring. It sounded like it was about 300 Hz (by ear, not any real method of measurement). I checked out the audio waveform and nothing looks out of the ordinary, and I can play audio from other programs without any problem. My question is, what the heck is wrong with final cut? An explanation can't really do this justice; I practically had a heart attack, the tone was so loud and unexpected. Does anyone have any idea what this could be from?
    Thanks.

    The underlying issue is that iMovie and FCE capture DV video differently. You can import an iMovie DV clip into FCE but it will always require rendering of the audio in FCE ... but even then the results are not always predictable.
    iMovie captures DV video as *QuickTime DVstream,* essentially as-is from the tape; this means that +the audio & video are interleaved,+ which actually makes editing the audio difficult. (on a miniDV tape, the recording is made up of 10 slanted tracks per NTSC frame, each track containing video, audio & control data for its portion of the frame ... giving you some idea of the complexity of the interleaving).
    FCE captures DV video as *QuickTime DV-NTSC (.mov)*, (in North America) putting the audio & video into +separate, parallel, linked tracks+ in the QuickTime file; as a result the audio does not require rendering and it is much easier to edit.
    Rendering the audio of a .dv clip in FCE only creates an audio render file that is associated with the original clip; it does not convert the clip to QuickTime DV-NTSC (.mov).
    MPEG Streamclip is the utility you should use if you want to convert files from QuickTime DV (.dv) to QuickTime DV-NTSC (.mov).

  • IMovie audio problems when burning in Toast 6

    Hi,
    i've tried to burn an imovie project in idvd 5 but i get 'the error #-1 was reported' like most people have been and i've tried loads of things suggested to fix it with no joy.
    I then sent the imovie project to toast titanium 6 where it burned fine. However, when i watched it i noticed that although toast had picked up all the audio (both dv audio and aiff), it did not pick up all the volume adjustments during the movie. how annoying! for example: i have an aiff clip that fades into a movie clip with the sound gradually going down but Toast picks up the sound staying at the same level. this also happens with volume adjustments in a DV file.
    Any suggestions why this happens / how i can fix it?
    Cheers,
    Andy

    Andy,
    This question is really in the wrong place - this is the iDVD '08 forum and not the iDVD 5 forum.
    From the description of your problem using Toast, it sounds like you didn't actually export a DV video movie out of iMovie.
    Export a DV video movie out of iMovie (it will run 13 GB per hour) and play it back with the QuickTime Player to see if the audio settings you made are really there. If this movie plays OK, you can bring IT into iDVD or Toast for turning it into a DVD.
    If the DV video movie you created STILL has audio problems in the QuickTime Player, ask you question about THAT issue in the correct iMovie forum.

  • Captivate 4, interaction SWF using XML and the Reviewer tool Problem

    Hello everyone!
    I am an advanced AS3er and am only months old working with Captivate 4. I've found some cool ways to use Captivate and incorporating swfs that use CSS and XML for their dynamic content builder and interactivity as well. However, I've run into a problem:
    The Reviewer tool will NOT display my swf interactions that use XML, however when published as a course, I can see them perfectly fine (once I move over my css and xml folders after publishing)
    Has anyone found a work around for this problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Not sure if you want to control the audio used in Captivate of if you want to control you own audio form files loaded externally. If you try to control the audio associated with captivate, believe me it will be a mess. I tried it once and hit so many hurdles that I gave up. The Captivate framework is not meant at all for extending and adding functionality. I had to to create proxy classes that allowed me to gain access to internal variable but even then my control over audio streams was incomplete. Captivate completely lacks an eventing framework!
    On an other subject, can you tell me how you got the swf to use the CSS and XML files? Do you have to manually copy them to a folder? Which folder?
    Thanks,
    Yves

  • "iMovie doesn't lock the audio to the video - it's an old, old problem"

    Lot's of people have had problems keeping long video clips in sync with their audio in iMovie. I think what this guy says is correct:
    http://forums.mactalk.com.au/11/49711-imovie-hd-sound-out-sync.html#post608307
    "iMovie doesn't lock the audio to the video - it's an old, old problem either you import in short segments so the sound doesn't get too far out of sync or you buy Final Cut Express - it does lock the audio to the video".
    ...and unfortunately I don't know of a way to import in small sections if you've recorded say 4 minutes worth of continuous footage.
    (Come on Jobs get it together!)

    You can replace your internal DVD drive, or get an external DVD drive.
    Note: If your Mac had an internal drive, the Apple external USB DVD drive won't work with it. It's designed to be used only with Macs that don't have internal DVD drives, i.e., MacBook Airs, MacMinis, etc.

  • IMovie HD - Urgent Audio Problem!

    I've been working on a video for my Chinese final and iMovie HD 5.0.2 has been working until now. No matter what I do, all of the audio is skipping. The audio I'm using is either embedded audio imported from my HD Video Camera, a music file, or a sound effect clip. The music and sounds are all .mp3.
    The sound gradually started getting worse and now nothing I'm doing is making a difference. I can't find an update that will fix my problem. I've already ordered iLife 09 so I can use the newest version of iMovie, but I need this to work right now. This project is due tomorrow and it would have been done if not for the audio problems. Again, I have iMovie HD 5.0.2
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you again for your help.  I didn't realize I was so far behind on the iMovie series.  I downloaded the newest one and it worked great as far as importing the video without bars.  The video was from a Sony widescreen SD video camera and I used MPEG Streamclip to confirm the video was true 16:9 but for some reason iMovie HD just squished it to the right.  Anyway, I noticed on the new iMovie it only has the option for 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio.  So is it not as good as iMovie HD even thought it's newer?  Oh well, guess I'll cross that bridge when I get an HD camcorder.

  • IMovie to iDVD audio problems

    Hello,
    I am using iMovie '09 (version 8.0.4). I have created a movie with mp3 audio files playing in the background with the clip volume at 0. The video clips are interspersed with some images every now and then as well as transitions. The movie plays quite well when i preview it in iMovie.
    I then share the movie with iDVD (version 7.0.4). When I play the movie in iDVD, almost the entire thing plays perfectly except for this one little part. In that little part, audio from some clip starts playing along with the background music.
    More things about my project:
    1. I am using audio ducking only once, I know where it is in the timeline and it is working just fine
    2. Where the problem occurs, I have looked if I might be doing something wrong in precision editor. Turns out I am not using precision editor on the clips where the audio problem occurs at all
    3. All video clips around where the porblem occurs are at a volume of 0
    I am confused. Please help.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    *No audio on DVD disc.*
    Most common origin.
    1 Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    3 Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
    4. Ed Hanna
    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool
    • OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

  • Audio problems after exporting out of iMovie

    Aloha!
    I have a 48 minute movie created in imovie with lots of audio, clips and transitions. It works perfectly when I preview or play it in iMovie. When I try to share it to iDvd, export to iDvd, or to save it as a Quicktime movie, it looks great for several minutes, then the audio tracks get messed up. The correct audio is there, but overlayed on it is snippets from farther into the project, or whole tracks from later in the project, or places where the audio drops out completely. I spent about 70 hours creating this movie and really want to burn it to DVD so I can play it on the big screen. I did burn one version to dvd, and it looked and sounded great - until the audio problems began... any help would be greatly appreciated.
    In Garage Band there is a feature where you can consolidate your bits into one track - should I be doing something in iMovie after I finish it before I export it?

    what kind of speed changes do you mean? If you mean using some clips in slo-mo (with the sound dropped out) then yes I used a LOT of them... but they are also working fine for the first several minutes...

    Hi,
    not sure if coincidence or the same question, but the same question got asked internally. The seeded option is required to get the OJSP filter installed. Here's the internal response
    ADF View integration with MDS not configured
    In web.xml, you need to have mds-ojsp intg enabled to load jspx base + customizations from MDS. In your web project in Jdev, go to ADFv project properties and select “Seeded customization” property. It would enable mds-jsp engine configuration in web.xml. If you want to use user personalization feature at runtime, you would need to select “User customization” property as well which would enable ADFv change persistence config in web.xml.
    Warning: Some of the metadata under ... is packaged as part of both WAR and MAR. This metadata cannot be accessed from WAR using MDS.
    For these two packages, you are including the files in both WAR & MAR. This warning conveys that since these base files are being put in MAR, at runtime they would be read from mds repository & not from WAR.

    Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter.  TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices).   It does not show Mail or Safari menus.  System preferences'  display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution.  I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
    In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access.  Is there any way to make this work for us?  We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web.  Do we need Apple TV to do this?  Or is it not possible with our old iMac?  My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor. 
    Thank you

    Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
    There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
    You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
    Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
    If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
    If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time,  you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
    These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
    Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
    Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

    First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
    Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

    Have you actually been able to get this to work? I tried some of the demos from the MS site and running the html file with the treeview.htc just sends my browser into a state of loading with nothing happening!?!
    This is a webcontrols component which is rather MS specific. As for finding the namespace, are you accessing this page locally or remotely? the namespace location, if run from a JSP, will resolve the C: drive to the one the web browser is running in not your server.
    If you have your htc file in the same dir as the jsp your running, then putting just "treeview.htc" as the namespace whould be fine or add the context path like so:IMPLEMENTATION="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/treeview.htc"Let me know if you actually get this running without a web server. Otherwise it may be the .Net server that renders the page.

    No problems when i used with Snow Leopard. I upgraded: Now Kreonika is not happy. Not happy at all!

    In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
    Would that work out for you?
