Import plays fast

Friends,
I have FCP 6 on a G5.
I am having an unusual experience with video that I import.
Items that I capture via my decklink card are fine.
When I import a file.mov that has the DV codec
( 720x480 29.29 48kHz 16 bit str )
it will seem to play fast , and it ends before the audio is done. But if I scrub through it , I will hear that the audio is there. I have tried a render all ( i have no red line )
These are videos that I am getting from an Avid Xpress and file.mov with DV codec that I get from other sources.
What is going on?
How can i solve this?

This may be kind of a stupid question, but what frame rate does FCP say the footage is? You posted that the file is 29.29fps. If it truly is, that may be where your problem is. NTSC footage should be 29.97fps.

IMovie import plays WAY TOO FAST!

I am importing video from a DV (Sony DCR-HC96) straight into iMovie. The transition is smooth and recorded content plays in normal time from DV camera. During transition, the video appears in normal speed on the Mac.
However, when the import is completed -- and I try and PLAY the video on my Mac (MacBook Pro), the speed of the movie is SCREAMING FAST (16x-20x too fast.)
Anybody feeling smart about this?
Would really(!) appreciate your help....

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
When you say "transition" I think you mean "import" ..the process of passing the video from the camcorder into iMovie. (..A "transition" is generally something which you apply in iMovie; a means of changing from one video clip to another via a 'cross-fade' or a 'dissolve', etc..)
The specifications for this camera, on Sony's page (click on that blue link) and on Amazon's page both mention..
"..Progressive Shutter System
A mechanical shutter system that provides progressive scan performance while utilizing an interlaced scanning system. Digital still images will be sharp and clear with excellent definition."
If you've shot your movie(s) using progressive recording (..using a shutter speed marked 'p', such as '30p' or '24p'..) then iMovie may play it back faster than normal. This is because iMovie normally expects DV to consist of two 'interlaced' fields of video (two sets of lines which each make up half-a-picture) instead of single full frames of video.
(..On the other hand, the "progressive" in the specifications may refer only to still photos; it's not easy to tell from the descriptions whether or not the video may be shot as progressive, too..)
If it's NOT playing fast because you've shot progressive video ('p') instead of interlaced video ('i'), then I can't think of a reason just now why it'd be playing fast ..sorry.

FCP 6 XDCAM-HD - video plays fast

Hi All,
I have a strange issue, hope to get some help here. When I import a xdcam-hd 1080i60 35Mbps VBR video in FCP 7 time-line it plays fine. But the same clip when imported in FCP 6 the video plays fast (something like 2x time).
Any ideas please share.
Thanks
Kris

Check your render settings, most probably it was set at 50%. You need to set them to 100%. This happen when you work with XDCAM HD.

I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer. they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info. I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

With the new update iTunes lost my important play lists. Anyone else?

With the new update iTunes lost my important play lists. Anyone else?

If you have a backup on iCloud or iTunes you would not have lost all your data, the update went fine on my phone and my wifes and many others. On forums you dont see the millions of users saying it went well, just the few with issues. If you had no backup thats not Apples fault, thats yours. The same will happen whatever platform you go to if you dont back your data up.

How can I get tracks to play faster than normal speed in itunes?

I have lectures, audio books, and other recordings that I would like to play at faster than normal speed (like 1.5X or 2X normal speed).   I've set all of these recordings as audio books because I read that they have the option to play faster, but, I can't find how to actually make them play faster. I also read that it's possible to open them in quicktime, but that is very much less than ideal and a waste of time. Surely there is a way to do this in itunes, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks for any help.

I will show you how I played my audio or mp3 files at any particular speed. This method will allow you to simply enter in your desired speed.(ex. 1.5 or 1.33)
In my case Im using an audio book [Lord of the flies] I download off youtube as a MP3 file using this program:
http://download.cnet.com/MediaHuman-YouTube-to-MP3-Converter/3000-2140_4-7544580 3.html
      First off, you will need to make sure your audio file is open in QuickTime player rather then iTunes. First you need to locate the audio file. If your audio file is in itunes then right click the file and select "Show in Finder"
     The file should open in a finder window, highlighted. Right click the file, go to "Open With.." And click Quicktime Player. (If quickTime Player is not an option, you need to go to "Other..." and select QuickTime Player from your Applications folder)
Now that your mp3 file is open in a QuickTime window you may proceed to step 1.
1) Open Finder
2) Click Applications
3) Click Utilities
4) Open AppleScript Editor
5) In the program copy and paste the script below.
6) Click "Compile"
7) Now to test this script, click "Run" A window should pop up prompting you to enter your desired speed (default is 1.5)
8) press "OK" and quick time should start playing your audio at the speed you entered in.
9) If you would like to use this script again, go to File > Save... >Name your AppleScript and save it Anywhere (I saved mine in the Music Folder for easy access)
tell application "iTunes"
pause
set myTrack to location of current track
# the player’s position within the currently playing track in seconds
set mySeconds to player position
end tell
# show a Dialog
set SpeedFactor to 1.5
display dialog "Enter speed factor:" default answer SpeedFactor
set SpeedFactor to text returned of the result
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
# pause all previously opened documents
set open_docs to documents
repeat with doc in open_docs
pause doc
end repeat
# open the track just played in iTunes
open myTrack
# get the 'QuickTime' document, MyTrack should be equivalent but it isn't
set MyMovie to first document
# rewind by 10 seconds
if mySeconds > 10 then
set mySeconds to mySeconds - 10
end if
# set current time
set current time of MyMovie to mySeconds
# set Speed Factor and start playing
set rate of MyMovie to SpeedFactor
end tell

HT1657 Downloaded 2 rentals and they won't play. They ask if I would like to begin the rental period, I say yes and it takes me to the dvd screen, but does not play. I hit play, fast forward, skip chapters and nothing.

Downloaded 2 rentals and they won't play. They ask if I would like to begin the rental period, I say yes and it takes me to the dvd screen, but does not play. I hit play, fast forward, skip chapters and nothing.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I have searched all over the web too to find any solutions regarding the unavoidable problem of Macs with Adobe's Flash Player. There are little improvements of reducing the high CPU during Flash use on a Mac through changing your main browser to Opera, Camino ... BUT it is still a problem which cannot be solved for now. The following URL is from Adobe's Bug Website and explains exactly what is wrong with Flash on a Mac:
Very High CPU usage and thus High Fan speed.
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-890
Here's another link to a similar problem in the Apple Discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8920577
And finally the comparison of CPU usage between Mac and Windows which shows very clear that there's obviously something MAJOR not working and Adobe has to fix it!
http://arstechnica.com/software/news/2008/10/benchmarking-flash-player-10.ars
It is a shame that this problem is out for years and Adobe is NOT trying to fix it, or at least not as intense as they should. So this is the reason why many people all over the world have to live with their Mac running high fan and a hot CPU when just browsing the internet.

Some purchased songs playing fast now, were fine

I have a handful of songs (about 38) I purchased in the i-tune store all of which are un-protected AAC audio files which played fine when originally downloaded but now play at close to twice speed. And not just in i-tunes. I've tried moving a file and playing it in a different audio player but still plays fast. The rest of my library (protected or not) plays fine. After sycning my i-pod now the songs that are playing fast in i-tunes are now playing fast in my i-pod. Crupted files? If so how? And can any of this be fixed? The i-tune's version is 10.2.2.14 on windows xp

Are these songs/albums purchased from the iTunes Store?
If so, is your computer authorized? From the "Store" menu in iTunes, click on "Authorize computer...".
Try deleteing, and reloading the songs back onto your iPod after authorization.
If this attempt doesn't help, you may want to try restoring your iPod. This may clear off internal issues with your iPod when it comes to playing these certain songs.

AVCHD .mts files imported but optimised files play fast in QT and FCPX 10.1.1

Hi Guys
Panasonic HC-V700 AVCHD .MTS files (from within the 'Stream' folder) imported and optimised into FCPX 10.1.1 but the imported/optimised clips (found in the Transcoded Media>High Quality Media folder) play too fast in QT and FCPX 10.1.1 . Was able to do this fine until yesterday.
Using OSX 10.9.1 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with just 4GB RAM (hoping to get faster, souped-up new iMac very soon).
When playing the 1080/50p clips on the camera's video player they play at normal speed. Weirdly, today, FCPX has 'acknowledged' the camera on the import window despite the 1080/50p footage (previously it didn't show the camera as a valid import 'archive' on the import screen). Now, on the import window whenever I play a clip it also plays too quick.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Warm regards
Peter

When attempting to play the .MTS files in import I'm getting the 'dropped frames' error message:
"Issues that may affect playback include available memory, disk speed, graphics performance, and processor performance.
You may be able to get better performance by doing the following:
- Use proxy playback by changing the Media setting to 'Proxy' in the Viewer Options pop-up menu. (Requires proxy media.)
- Optimize your source clip media."
Could the lack of RAM in this iMac actually cause the video to speed up in FCPX? (weird)

Premiere Pro CC 2014 - Video playing faster than audio - Out Of Sync?

Hi All, It's been some time since I've had to write about any problems here. Sooo, I've got Adobe Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2. (Using AJA KONA IoExpress BoB)   I've imported a 5 minute AVI file (video=1920x1080, Data=65587kbps, Total=66355kbps, 30fps. - - - Audio=768kbps, Channels=Mono -and/or- Stereo, 48kHz) from my Livestream HD-500 Digital Recorder as I have been doing successfully for some time now.. .   The video file plays just fine using windows media player but when I inport into a new project. The visual Video is out of sync. Seems like the Video is playing about 1/3rd faster then the normal audio. Any thoughts? - - - - - - P.S. Here is a (520mb file) public link of a 1min.40sec. Clip using GoDaddy's FileFolder:
https://files.secureserver.net/0suHs98nozqsKz
Here's a 20 second clip from last weeks trial-run-test using exact same configuration that worked just fine:
Online Storage - Download File
UPDATE - Problem Solved
So i got a call from AJA (the Manufacturer of my IoExpress Break out Box for Premiere)
Here's the Scoop:
1. When Programs "AutoUpgrade" it's common for some or all Settings to revert to their Default Settings.
2. Adobe Premiere CC auto-upgraded yesterday when I wasn't looking... (paying attenion)
3. In Premiere, Preferences>Playback>AudioDevice was reset back to "AdobeDesktopAudio".
4. I reset the reset back to AJA KONA IoExpress, and WALLA! It Works Great!
I hope this post will help others stuck in this seemingly unfixable situation. My clients will be very happy today. :-)

Just for some reinforcement on this subject, these are the settings recommended by Aja for running their hardware in CC 2014:
Make sure you audio is configured like this:
1. In your MacPro System Preferences:
    Set the input for Line in.
   Set the output for Built in.
2. In your PremierePro Preferences:
   Set the Audio Hardware for Built-in Output.
   Set the Audio Output Mapping for Built-in Output.
   Set the Playback for Audio Device on the KONA audio.
You will likely have to reboot after making any changes.
We are running Kona 3, 3G and I/O 4k systems and this basic setup is needed for all our systems or we have intermittent audio playback issues.

All songs are playing fast

I just upload all my library in my ipod and when I want to play, all songs are just skipped (played but very fast). I cannot hear anything as IPod will just jump to the next song imediately.
How can I solve this matter ?
Thanks
Gregoire

Well at the moment I don't have definitive answer for you, (maybe someone else has) but I've noticed that some of my AAC files are at 130kbps, which tells us that iTunes and the iPod can handle that bit rate.
If you have access to the original source of the music (I.E. the CD) then I would suggest re-importing it into iTunes at a different bit rate. On the other hand, if you have downloaded an MP3 (legally, of course) from a musician's web site, there's probably not much that you can do about it.
Basically though, it sounds (from your clip that I listened to) that the file is corrupt or simply incompatible with an iPod.
