Imported sound file fades in and out

Captivate v5.5
Windows 7
I create my audio using Audacity - export the audio file as MP3 and then import the MP3 file to the relevant slide using the film strip in Captivate, right click/audio/import.
On some of the slides when I play back the audio in Captivate the level drops and rises.
When I play the same file in Audacity the level remains constant and is pitch perfect.
Are there any special audio settings I should apply when importing audio this way which might be the cause of my problem?

Hi
My first thought was that this is a hardware problem, however, it might be worth resetting the PRAM and SMC to see if the problem goes away. 
If the problem persists, then you can buy a cheap sound "card" that plugs into a USB port.  In fact, this would probably give you better sound quality anyway.

    thanx again

    But I do back up everything, as much as I am able...
    However, it seems to me I've got to shift everything back into iTunes - Again.
    if this is the norm, I would like to see - for others because now I know! - a little warning
    "Hi, We're iTunes, and you need an update. So please update, just let it be known however, then when you do - we'll delete your catalog and any playlists. Thanks for using iTunes"
    something like that, because now I've gotta re-load everything back... bolics I say bolics.

  • When I save and/ or export a video, the light majorly fades in and out.

    I have noticed that the lighting in my videos fade in and out which ruins the quality of the video. There is nothing wrong with the original file and when I view the files before hand, the fading is not there. The fading is almost like the lighting in my videos (typically natural lighting, but sometimes studio) are strobe lights.
    It typically happens when I save my project and go back to it or when I export it.
    Is there anyway to stop this from happening?
    This was happening before Yosemite by the way.
    Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

    Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
    Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

  • IPhone 5 voice call quality fade in and out. Noise Cancellation interference?

    I've been having this huge problem with the iPhone5. The evidence i've collected seems to indicate this is a problem with all iPhone5's.
    On calls in certain places both indoors and outdoors, the callers voices over the iPhone5 fade in and out. Their voices occasionally completely fade completely away, and only come back momentarily. The low volume for 50% of the time forces me to raise the volume, but raising the volume does not help because when the voice does come back, the volume is too loud for my ears.
    I went back to the Apple store and they are not able to help me. They suggested a clean restore, which I did. They offered to replace the phone, which I did, but it is the same problem.
    - iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S, the fading does not occur. I make the call to the same voice mail system I have, and the sounds from the other side are consistently the same volume for the 4S, but fades in and out for the 5.
    - I connected up a 8mm jack between my iPhone 5 and my mac in an attempt to record this problem. In that instance, the sounds from the voice mail DO NOT fade in and out. I did find out that the dynamic range on the iPhone 5 is MUCH greater than that of the iPhone 4S, for some strange reason.
    - When I hold the phone up to my ear, the fading in and out does occur, but it is less noticeable. But it's still there.
    - When I leave my work area the problem goes away. However, because the iPhone 4S on the same AT&T service does not have this problem, this leads me to believe it's NOT a lack of transmission power from the AT&T cell tower. Rather, it is a reception issue at the iPhone5 side.
    - I turned off LTE, data and then made the calls. Same issue.
    I use this phone to make 60 minute calls for conference calls frequently. I cannot use it. Please advise. I am seriously considering returning this phone. Except i've sold my old iPhone 4 already. I'm in a bad place. Please help.
    Here's another post of a fellow with the same exact problem.
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1456404
    Apple, please look into this. I believe this is a problem with the noise cancellation software.

    I've got an update on this problem with fading volume. I've isolated it to the set volume on the phone for voice calls when using headphones. When the headphone volume is set between 1 and 6 (out of 16 squares) the callers volume will consistently fade in and out. The fading which is normal to zero volume at 2-5 Hz is serious enough that normal conversation is impossible.  When the volume is raised above 6/16 then the callers voice stabilize and I can hear all their words again. Unfortunately, at 6/16 volume their voices are too loud for the headphones.
    Furthermore, when headphones are plugged in, and I initial a call after the iphone5 was idle for several minutes, the first dial tone has preceded by a very loud pop an the tone, as though there was too much pressure (charge) that was dissipated all at once.
    Other details:
    - I used 3 different earphones, iPhone 4 headphones, altec earphones, an the new iPhone 5 earbuds. Same.
    - I turned on and off lte, data, Bluetooth, wifi. Problem persists unaffected.
    - when switching to iPhones earpiece and mic, the fading is gone.
    - I have 3 out of 5 bars where I teste this, in the city outside and on hwy 5 in central California. Same symptoms in all places I've tested.
    - I have exchanged my phone at the apple store. Same issue with both iPhones an I suspect all ipjone5s.
    - the ipjone4s does NOT have this problem when the volume is set lower. I can tell that the iPhone 5 must have a new audio filter to make the sounds have larger dynamic range. I liked the 4s better, because it is easier on the ears!

  • How to  fade in and out

    Dear Forum;
    This is my very first time opening Garage...
    I am creating a compilation of my concerts - tunes are too long
    how do I fade in and out on the same track?
    & how do I add reverve - please help a dummy - or where in the manual? Thanks

    Move your cursor onto the audio track, to the upper-left (or upper-right) corner until the cursor icon changes to a small envelop. From there, click & drag out to create a fade. From there, you can double-click on the audio file to get a HUD with all the different types of fades available.

  • FCP to soundtrack : clips audio fade in and out are lost !

    Hi,
    I sent a FCP project to soundtrack pro, but all fade in and out are lost. Only crossovers between 2 clips remain. Is it a limitation of the "send to multitrack project" function ?
    Thanks

    Same problem here. Tried to solve it by making an OMF export in FCP and importing it into STP: same problem. One of the many bugs. We have to wait some more versions before this promising application works on a pro level.

  • Fade in and Out

    Hello Everyone,
    I would like to ask the Pro a question.
    I have a video clip which i want to cut and fade in and Fade Out the video and Audio.
    I have searched on internet but i can not seems to find the right answer.Is it that complicated to do fade in and out?
    Is there a simple way to fade in and fade out the entire video(video and audio) and NOT only video or Audio?
    How can i do that.
    Thank you very much

    On a single clip, fade and dip to black are similar. If you have two clips next to each other fade will do a mix between them, using the dip to black will fade out the first clip going to black and the fade up the second clip. The yellow line shows keyframes, this is a way of changing effect parameters against time. This is an Adobe help file about them Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Adding, navigating, and setting keyframes If you search the net there are many tutorials. You can keyframe audio and video. Have you tried adding the default fade transition to the audio? I have no problems with it. The cpu can run flat out, if needs be Premiere will slow down the export to match the quality of your hardware.

  • How do I adjust my titles so they don't fade in and out? I have hundreds of photos/videos on screen for a second or so each, for a year-long birthday video, and I need the dates in my titles to be steady rather than fading in and out spastically.

    I have been working on a project since December of 2012 for my son's first birthday. Basically, it's a photo or quick video each day of his life so far. I used the "upper" title and made the titles not fade in and out, because that could give someone a seizure. The idea is a seamless title that ticks away each day. But in the new iMovie, it changed my settings, and I can't for the life of me find how to change them back.
    Now, each date flashes in and out, in and out, in and out. Fractions of seconds go by. It's really distracting and annoying.
    How do I get the titles to remain on screen and not fade in and out? I had it just how I wanted it, but now we're rapidly approaching my son's birthday, and the video is suddenly a mess.
    How do I fix this?

    I am working with the very same concept for my project and the auto fade in and out has messed everything up. If I hear or a fix I'll be sure to reply here to let you know!

  • Made a drop down menu. How can I get the drop down to fade in and out? !

    Hi guys!
    I've created a drop down menu (with the help of you legends on here! )...Now I just need it to animate so when the user hovers over the main menu item, the drop down fades in.
    Here's the HTML I have...
        <ul id="nav">
            <li><a href="#">Nav 1</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 2</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 3</a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 1</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 2</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 3</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 4</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 5</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 6</a></li>
        </ul>
    ...and here's my CSS...
    ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; z-index:999;}
    ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
    ul#nav li a {color:#E0E2E7; display:inline-block; float:left; margin:0; padding:10px 19px; width:auto; text-decoration:none;}
    * html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; }  /* for IE 6 */
    * + html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; }  /* for IE 7 */
    #nav ul {width:208px; left:-9999em; list-style:none; margin:35px 0; padding:0; position:absolute; z-index:999;}
    #nav li:hover ul {left:auto;}
    #nav li {float:left;}
    #nav li li a {width:190px; background-color:#efefef; color:#2e2e2e; padding:8px; margin:0; }
    #nav li li a:hover {background-color:#000; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
    #nav li:hover {background:url(assets/images/frame/navOn.jpg);}
    From what I can make out, I assume I need either Javascript or JQuery...
    Does anyone know how I can get the drop down to fade in and out?
    Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

    Yes, you'll need a client-side script to do fade-in/fade-out fx.  Look at jQuery Superfish.

  • I have used I tunes to download music with a paid I tunes card. I can no longer open the music store to download my music.  When I do open the music store it fades in and out, preventing me from downloading music.

    I can nolonge download music from I tunes, because the music store page fades in and out and will not remain permanent to allow me to download music with a pre-paid I tunes card.
    Also, why is it you can only download music to an I-pod from one primary computer.  Is there a method that will allow me to download music from a variety of computers.

    it only happens for previous purchases - if you have a computer you can try to download your purchase history there and then just sync them to your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386.

  • My IPOD classic headport is not working properly.  The sound is going in and out?

    My ipod classic headport is not working properly.  The sound keeps going in and out.  I have tried changing headphones and checking the settings.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Do a Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    If the sound is still the same, but ok, coming from the bottom Dock connector, then try cleaning the headport, using a jet of air or some electronic cleaner.

  • How do I keep from having my titles fade in and out in iMovie 10.0.1? Or is there a way to customize a title at all, other than location, size, and color (such as fade direction, duration, entrance...)?

    This is something that I thought came standard with all video editing software and I'm very surprised to not be able to find it in my version of iMovie. All I want to do is create captions that don't fade in and out.

    Several posters have asked this and it doesn't appear to be possible in iMovie 10.  I guess you would have to create .png stills with the caption and the rest transparent then add them as cutaways.

  • Subtitle workflow. Is it possible to import srt files into premiere and then export to Encore?

    Hi, I'm editing a series of short documentaries that wil be published in DVD with subtitles, and I'm wondering if there's any way to import srt files into Premiere and then export the project to Encore.

    You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude.  It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
    Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips.  Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting.  Don't select the Transcode option.
    Cheers,
    Jeff

  • Line drawn with Pencil Tool appears to fade in and out

    My Nme is Allen Togwell.Case No: 0183721415. Your chat line guy said I needed a graphic card to solve my problem for my CS6. He gave me a link but disconnected before I could use it. Can you help me with what type of graphic card I need. I am 75 yrs of age and not very com literate.
    Thanks

    Hi Allen,
    I looked up that case number and watched a recording of you working with the agent and am not convinced that what you are seeing was necessarily because of the graphics card.
    This is my interpretation and thoughts around what you were seeing. I noticed that you were working on an image that took up a fair amount of the screen when viewed at 16.7% zoom. This means it was a pretty large image. Next, I noticed you were using the pencil tool with a tip that was 4 pixels.
    I think the combination of these two things was the reason the pencil tool was appearing choppy or to fade in and out when drawing. This occurs because you are using such a small size and are zoomed out so much that the lines are barely visible. When you zoom out the program resamples the appearance. This resampling can cause detail to be lost and the appearance to vary depending on what zoom level is used, 16.7% is particularly bad with fine details.
    I think there would be two solutions, use a different zoom level to get a better view or use a pencil with a larger size.
    I recorded this video for you as an example
    http://screencast.com/t/e9dhiHKoKbv
    I suspect the list that the agent was suggesting for video cards was the one at the bottom of this document
