Audio (and some video) dropping out export

I've created an project with short video/audio clips sampled to produce "music". It plays OK in FCPX, but when I export it (H.264, 720p, Apple Devices, 44.1) as an MP4, some of the audio (and some video) drops out. That is, it does not show up in the exported (aka "Shared") movie file.
There are about 7-8 things (tracks) going on at once, maximum.
Any ideas what to do to fix this?
Thanks!

Movie clips are out of focus

I imported my movie from tape into Imovie 8. The clips are sharp and normal in the bottom screen. When I place the clips in the upper window to make the movie they are not as sharp as below. Kind of out of focus.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Audio and video clip lengths differ in encore timeline

Hi
I have been working to build a BD-R H.263 ac3 disk. I used AME from within Premiere Pro to export the M4V and (at the same time) AC3, using the present defualt parameters-no tweaking of any setting. The clips appear to play great on encore's monitor--everything in sync.And on the burned BD-R
However, I am getting the black screen between clips in the timeline when played in the standalone BD player, or (when I had one clip to a timeline) in a playlist. a previous poster made note of different length audio and video clips. I zoomed on the timeline and lo and behold--the the audio and video clips are different lengths.
This is with the timeline fully expand--each division is a frame. Note that break between the two audio clips is offset from the break between the two video clips by two frames. This offset is after several clips. I could find no information on what the one frame crosshatching at the end of the leading clips means. Can anyone explain this cross hatching? What do I do about it? the image below is after the first clip in the timeline:
In this image, the offset is less than a full frame??????
I tried using the trim tools to bring these together-but, the trim tool only lets it jump a full frame and then only to a GOP boundary, which doesn't help because the boundaries are obviously different fro the video and audio track.
I want to emphasize that these assets were created from the Premiere CS4 timeline (which had no offset between audio and video) using the default H.263 and AC3 presets in AME and the same presets selected in Encore.
The offsets do not appear to cause the actual audio and video to go out of sync when I play the burned disk. But, I get the 1-2 second wait between menus and chapters, or with items in a playlist.
The audio offset suggests that the player may not know what to do when faced with a chapter point that is different on the audio and video tracks, although, I will note that encore snapped to the joints in the video track not the audio track.
You can see from this listing that several of the clips audio and video lengths that differ by one frame. By the end of the timeline, the cummulative offset is 3 seconds (48 minute timeline)
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks

I don't think that I had the same problem that you do, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents just in case it might help. Encore would not build the output; it said something like the inpoint and the length did not match the endpoint. Actually, I think this happened in several different situations. In one case I simply adjusted the audio and video tracks to match endpoints. In the other case I went back to Premier and found that in some cases where I had added transitions it had shifted the endpoints of the audio and video tracks so they did not match. I removed the transitions. It didn't matter that much to me since I'm doing this for personal use. Is it possible those crosshatched lines you're seeing are transitions?
I am using CS 3 and editing HD. I have had many problems with encore. I read in the form someplace that it had a hard time handling H.264 so I changed to MPEG-2 and that fixed one problem. In another case it couldn't find some files and I found some advice not to use HD or wide menus, so I switched to standard 4:3 menus and it worked.

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

Nevermind, somehow it's magically back in order.

When I import .mov file to Idvd I lose audio in certain clips

The .mov file I can paly everything fine thru quicktime but on import to Idvd I lose audio on some of the clips. Why? all the boxes are checked on the I movie.

Where did your .mov file orginate from? If it came from a camcorder or a digital still camera that takes MPEG movies, then you need two pieces of software to separate the audio from the .mov file. First, download the Free MPEG Streamclip (do a Google search), and once you download that, there will be a link to download the $20 Apple MPEG Streamclip plug-in for Quicktime. MPEG Streamclip is brilliant in that it will convert your MPEG .mov file back to a DV file for proper input into iMovie for editing while the QT plug-in will separate the audio. In it's original form, the audio to your MPEG movie is imbedded into the video. QT will play it fine, but iMovie needs to have it separated.

Why are some of my photos tack sharp while others in the same series are out of focus?

My camera is a Canon Rebel XS (dSLR) and I primarily use the 50mm f/1.8 lens.
I shoot in Manual Mode with Autofocus ON.
I am having difficulty with my photos coming out incositant - some are out of focus, while others in the same series (taken a moment apart) are tack sharp.
I've attached two examples - one of the out-of-focus image, the other sharp images (both have been blown up).
It is not camera shake and my settings are identical for both photos. (ISO 200 | f/4.5 | 1/100sec in this instance.)
This has become such a problem that I find myself needing to take 10x more photos of the same subject/pose in order to hopefully get one sharp image from the series.
I have asked multiple people about this problem (though I have yet to take my camera and lens to a shop due to lack of funds) and no one has any idea of either what I'm talking about or what the problem could be.
I would appreciate your thoughts and help!
Thank you!
Fuzzy/Out of Focus:
Sharp:

This new pair of images does not look like camera motion -- this one looks like it missed focus.
If you use the included Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera, you can right-click an image and tell it show you the focus point which were used (the camera wont know if you did a focus-and-recompose technique... so if you recompose after locking focus then the focus points indicated by DPP wouldn't be meaningful). But I bring this up because it would allow you to determine which focus point the camera claims it used.
I think you mentinoned that you used "One Shot" focus mode -- not AI Servo. One Shot should block the camera from taking the shot until it thinks it confirmed focus-lock on the selected AF point (or on at least one AF point it you allow the camera to pick from any of its available focus points.) In AI Servo the camera WILL take the shot when you fully press the button -- whether it successfully locked focus or not.
That brings us back to the subject of the focus test.
If you do not own a commercial chart, then you may want to download one from the Internet and print it. Here's a good site: http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/focus-chart
Print the chart and follow the instructions. I deliberately run the camera out of focus to nearest focus distance and force the camera to re-focus and shoot... and I repeat this at least a half-dozen times. I then repeat... but this time deliberately run the camera out of focus to infinity before forcing the camera to focus and take the shot.
Track each shot as you do the focus test. You may see a pattern emerge (e.g. perhaps it nails focus when going in one direction to find focus... but misses in another, etc.) Such a pattern might indicate the lens is getting sloppy and needs service (it's usually not worth servicing the 50mm f/1.8 due to it's low cost.) The USM and STM lenses allow full-time manual focus override (even if the lens is auto-focusing). The basic auto-focus motor lenses (like the 50mm f/1.8) do not support this and forcing manual focus without disengaging the focus system can be harmful.

How do I get rid of the annoying yellow banner saying "some plugins are out of date on this page."

Since 5/22/12 I have an annoying yellow banner in Firefox (and other web pages) stating that "some plugins are out of date on this page.") How do I get rid of this? I've checked my plugins and I'm fine for my Mac OS (10.4.1).

Sounds similar to this thread from yesterday: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927963 How do I stop getting the prompt to update plugins? | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]. Do any of the suggestions there help?

When importing numerical in order tracks some tracks are out of sequence

When I import into iTunes my accompaniment CDs which have multiple tracks in numerical order, some tracks are out of sequence in the "Date Added" sort order. This has been happening for quite sometimes with different versions and even on different computers. This has got to be an iTune software glitch. I can click on sort Album and its ok.

>> If syncing from iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac then they should sync across in the same order as in those programs.<<
But they don't sync in the same order - All the photos in the album on iPhoto are automatically sorted in date/time order, ascending.
When I sync the album to the iPad, POOF!, suddenly they're all mixed up in no apparent order.
It does not make any sense to me at all.

Issue - syncing Audio and Video Clips

Hi Friends -
Definitely, I am newbie for - editing in this application (Adobe Premier CS6) .
My idea is to sync audio and video clip - 'based on clip markers' or 'based on Audio wave' .
But, in my machine, I dont see option to 'add clip markers' (in Marker Menu) for these clips, which are supposed to merge. And, coming 'based on Audio wave' - I dont even see those options, when I select (both clips to be merged) and choose merge.
Am I missing any setting - Do I need to have any additional plugins for that? Can anyone pls. help regarding that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kireeti.

The audio option wasn't added until Premiere Pro CC.
You can set clip markers in the Source Monitor with the M key.

MERGING AND SYNCING more then one audio and video clip?

Is there are way to select a bin of video clips and a bin of audio clips (DSLR with separate audio) and have Premiere analyze and sync them in batches like Avid. I have a mountain of audio and video clips, but with no rhyme or reason to the file name, no timecode, no slates, just waveforms. But without knowing which audio files go with which video files, it’s impossible (or least time-consuming).
Or do I have to use plural eyes or other synchronising program for doing that?
THanks.

Do the video clips have audio. That is, are you seeking to match A/V clips with audio-only clips? If so, then Premiere can do that. Select all the clips in both bins, right-click & select Create Multicam Source Sequence, and select Sync by Audio.
Whenever Premiere finds that two or more clips match each other but no others in the batch, it creates a multicam source sequence of just those clips.

Portable Wireless Server WG-C10 doesn't stream any audio and some video content after updating phone to Android Lollipop 5.x

The Portable Wireless Server WG-C10 I purchased in 2014 doesn't stream any audio and some video content after updating phone to Android Lollipop 5.x.
The WG-C10 firmware is the last version which is available and the PWS Manager software is the last version available in Google Play Store.
There are no updates for the WG-C10 firmware nor PWS Manager software since 2013 or for Android 5.x (Lollipop) and I don't know if the WG-C10 firmware is the problem or if the PWS Manager software is the problem.
BTW, I am still able to stream this content on my tablet which is on KitKat (4.4.x) so the files are not corrupted. The only problem is with Lollipop.
PWS Manager in the Google Play Store says it supports Android 4.0+ which is no longer true.
The audio file formats which fail to stream are: mp3 and wav
The video file formats which fail to stream are: mp4, avi and 3gp
JPEG Images appear to work fine, but I haven't tried other formats.
I purchased the WG-C10 to stream audio and video primarily to my phone and now that this no longer works, the WG-C10 is useless to me.
Any ideas?

iTunes is placing my photos in the wrong albums and some photos are missing all together. How can I make them go to their correct albums?

Nevermind. I just renamed the folder on my mac and synced it again and everything is now in its proper place.
