Importing audio after video is made

so i just spent a long time slicing up videos and putting them together in final cut. I didnt import any of the sound because I originally did not want any. Now I have changed my mind. Is there any way at all I can import sound for cut up videos after that fact????

Been shooting with the Red for some time, numerous rentals, and editing in Final Cut on my MacBook Pro, burning Blu-rays with no problem. Just very slow.
I'm upgrading to a new Mac pro 4-core 3.33 with a Red Rocket card and I plan to use a Fibre Channel array for working storage set at RAID-0.
For work in Final Cut, 8-core is overkill as Final Cut does not take advantage of multi-cores, correct?
Is it preferable to transcode from .R3D files on my internal drives to the FC RAID array set as my scratch?
i.e. Does the Rocket prefer to transcode to or from the faster drive?
Certainly Final Cut benefits from using the faster drive as scratch, correct?
Transcoding to and from a single RAID array as with other drives is a no no, correct?
Thanks for your most knowledgeable posts.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 importing/ audio and video problems

    I recently recorded gameplay from my xbox, when i open this recording using windows media player it states that the video is 3 hours 30 minutes long, which is correct, when i then import this into premiere pro, premiere pro changes it to be 5 hours and 44 minutes long, when i then play this back it plays in slow motion and audio and video start to desync, i thought it may just be the source editor playing up so i made a clip and put it into the timeline and it still had the same outcome. The speed/duration are still on 100% so im not sure what to do, anyone have any idea as to what this is, or why it is happening?

    What are the attributes of your PVR video...
    specifically, is it variable frame rate?

  • Only imports audio, no video when using DSLR .mov files

    I just upgraded to CS6 on my Mac Lion. I created a project using the DSLR settings and tried to import a .mov video clip taken from my Canon 5D camera. Strange thing is it only imported the audio and not the video. I tried many of clips and just audio.
    As tests, I tried importing a .mpeg clip from an HDV camcorder and it worked fine. I also changed the extension of the DSLR clip to .mpeg and it still didn't work. The DSLR clips imported fine in CS4, but not CS6. Also as another test, I tried importing on a different Mac computer using Premiere Pro CS6 (from creative cloud) and it imported perfectly. So I'm not sure why it's doing it on my computer? The files open fine in QuickTime.
    The only thing that worked was I exported the .Mov files from the DSLR to a HDV .Mov file and it DID import correctly. I don't want to have to go through that step everytime though (or loss the quality)
    Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks

    I too am having this problem.  The video I am trying to import is a .MOV file from a Canon 5D Mark III.  When I check the properties of the file in Premiere Pro 5.5, this is what it says:

    As you can see PP 5.5 notices the video; it even tells me the # of frames in the video but it won't display it. It might be worth saying the video files from my Canon XF100 work just fine.  This is extremely frustrating.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • AVI Files import audio fine, video does not playback correctly

    Premiere Pro CS4 imports my AVI file's audio, but video playback does not match up; that is, the audio will playback until finish, but it appears that the video portion only reaches the third or fourth frame of the video! All other video formats import just fine.
    This issue did not occur in CS3.
    I use Windows XP SP3.

    Thanks to everyone for your responses. I solved the problem by installing the proper codec (LEAD MJPEG).
    Now I have another problem -- when scrubbing through videos, it seems as if the audio doesn't follow the cursor. That is, if I scroll to the MIDDLE of a video, I hear audio from the BEGINNING of the video, as if I had just paused and resumed.
    What could be the problem here?? This appears to happen for DivX movies, which I actually don't use often. But still, this would be a nice problem to solve.

  • Import files has only imported audio, not video

    I used FCP7 to capture some footage from DV PAL.
    I then went to FCPX, chose "Import Files" and selected the 2 clips I had captured. I chose to copy into the FCPX events library. FCPX only imported the audio, and not the video.
    This is the movie info:
    DV, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
    Is this a bug?

    Hi Charlottehjc,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Is it happening with a specific .mov file or with all the .mov files.
    Right click on the video and choose new sequence from clip, then check if the issue persists.
    Also please mention are you using Windows or Mac and the version of Premiere Pro.
    Thanks

  • Import audio WITHOUT video

    Hi there,
    I am working on an iMovie 09 project and I can't manage to use only the audio of a clip without the video. I can dettach the audio and move it around, but if i delete the video clip, the audio disappears also ...
    Anybody a clue?
    Thanx,
    iMatt+

    Hello, hillguydc,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    For what you are trying to do, use iMovie 6. If you had it before installing iLife 08, it is in your Applications folder, iMovie(previous version). In iM6, what you want to do is under the 'Advanced' menu option...to 'Paste Over at Playhead.' You want to paste your photos over the video and keep the audio going.
    If you open iMovie HD, see if you still get its Help files, and not iMovie 08's and you will find the step-by-step instructions. If you cannot find it, here it is:
    I+nserting video clips or photos in a passage while maintaining running audio:+
    +You can paste a new video clip or photo over an existing clip while retaining the audio from the original clip. The video cuts away to a new picture, but you continue to hear the sound from the original clip.+
    +To replace images in a clip while maintaining running audio:+
    +Choose iMovie HD > Preferences, and then click General.+
    +Select the "Extract audio when using Paste Over at Playhead" checkbox.+
    +Select the video or photo that you want to insert.+
    +Choose Edit > Cut or Copy.+
    +Do one of the following:+
    +To paste the entire video you selected in step 3, position the playhead at the first frame to be replaced. When you paste the clip, it will replace a portion of video equal to its length.+
    +To paste over a specific segment of your movie, select the part of the video clip you want to paste over.+
    +If the video you're pasting is longer than the selected frame range, the excess video will not be pasted. If the video you're pasting is shorter than the selected frame range, the extra space will be filled with a color clip (or the still image, if you paste a still image).+
    +Choose Advanced > "Paste Over at Playhead."+
    +The audio track of the original video is retained and appears in audio track 1 of the timeline viewer.+

  • I'm using Keynote '09 for Mac and none of my imported audio or video will play sound.

    The sound in Inspector is turned up all the way as well as the volume on my Mac. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

    1 - test sound is enabled and working on your Mac by playing a sound file in iTunes, Finder or going to youtube and play a video
    2 - if that works open a new presentation in Keynote containing one slide only, place the sound file on the slide then click the play button to play the presentation
    3 - if that works, test the sound file in Keynote that was causing problems in edit mode:
         double click the sound file if its on a slide
         click play in Inspector > Sound track if its in the soundtrack well
    4 - if that works, run Keynote in Play mode
    5 - if that doesnt work, delete the sound file in Keynote then place it back again

  • Sony DCR SX65 has no audio after import

    My iMovie app on my Mac Mini has lately not been loading audio after videos have been imported from my Sony DCR SX65. This is something recent as I have previous videos with sound but now it all my uploads do not have sound.

    hey there William & welcome to Discussions.
    is the VHS tape old or the MiniDV tape? if VHS, it could be that the signal has just deteriorated over time--it can happen w/ poor storage(heat, laying tapes on flat, not re-wound, etc...) & just age. have you tried not recording to MiniDV & just sending the VHS signals through the Sony w/ out a tape in it? it could be that one or more of you audio cables has gone bad, you may have dirty heads in either the VHS VCR &/or the MiniDV or have audio in problems w/ the Sony &/or audio out problems on the VHS VCR or maybe you have a FW issue on the Sony or w/ your FW cable. if you have access to another cam &/or VCR as well as FW & A-V cables, start swapping/troubleshooting & see if your results improve.
    good luck.

  • MXF file plays with audio on Source Monitor but timeline imports only the video

    Hello,
    This started happening like a few hours ago. But it was working perfectly before! This is driving me insane!
    This is the situation (Premiere CC, updated to latest version):
    - I have a bunch of MXF files and if I play them on the Source Monitor, audio and video play perfectly.
    - The moment I drag the MXF file onto the timeline, only the video is imported, not the audio.
    - I tried to drag only the audio, using the different ways that Premiere provides but it won't come at all.
    I managed to import audio and video doing the following: close all sequences, and drag the MXF file in the timeline with no sequence opened thus it will create a sequence with the imported audio and video from the MXF file.
    BUT if I try to drop the SAME MXF file in this brand new sequence, only the video will come again.
    Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? And why it suddenly stopped working?
    Thank you!

  • Problems importing iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5 - Audio sync out

    Hi there,
    I am currently experiencing problems trying to import iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5.
    Firstly i'd like to note that the video plays perfectly fine on the iPhone, VLC and in Quicktime Player. The audio and video is in sync.
    When I add the footage to After Effects the video becomes slightly out of sync with the audio. I have noticed this in RAM preview and also in renders I did just to test.
    I also want to note that, both my iPhone and After Effects have latest software updates.
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks Rick and Mylenium
    Thanks that worked!
    I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
    Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
    I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
    Its a shame AE doesn't  pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
    I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
    Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
    Cheers

  • Audio and video out of sync after import

    I'm trying to bring some H.264 video into a Premiere project. But when I place it in a sequence (a sequence that is created based upon this very clip), the audio and video are about a second out of sync. (It's also odd: no amount of adjustment will bring them in sync. Seemingly the video is running at some variable rate that makes synchronization impossible...?)
    As a test, I tried bringing my video into iMovie, and it works just fine there. But I don't want to use iMovie: I want to use Premiere.
    Any ideas?

  • How to stop auto play on importing audio/video

    I am so sorry to post this question. I've seen it many times around on internet, but it is driving me ABSOLUTELY MAD. After importing audio/video on iTunes (plus copy into iTunesLibrary), the file automatically starts playing. It is annoying me more and more, I can not seem to turn the function off. iTunes seems to be defaulted nowadays to start autoplay after importing music or video into iTunes~?
    Please someone, where can I turn this function off????????????
    thanx for your help. But honestly, with iTunes I don't expect there is a solution. I hope there will be good software available in future OS-versions.
    Rudi

    Hey tt2 and Chris!
    Uhm...you both talk aout the actual folder 'automatic add to iTunes'? So, have to look that up tomorrowmorning. It is an actual folder in my iTunes media folder???
    I don't get it. I thought by checking the box in preferences (automatically add to iTunes) that it makes a copy of the file that I wanted to add and place it in my iTunes library. Then I throw away the original which I dragged into iTunes.
    So, i understand that is not the way to add files?
    But dragging into the folder 'automatically add to iTunes', does that mean that there are more than one copies of a file after adding?  Meaning...one in the 'automatically add to-folder' AND in the library? I only need one file....otherwise I wind up with several duplicates. Just one in iTunes library will do fine for me. There is backup elsewhere for files i need to keep....
    But anyway...thanx for the tip.  Will try this tomorrow, search for the automatically add to-folder and let you know!

  • Audio imports, but not video

    Haven't ran into this prob before, so seems strange that it's happening now. When I attempt to import video into FCE, it all looks like it's going fine. I see the video, click capture, then press "escape" when I'm done with the import. Problem is the imported file is only audio. I've looked at the imported file(s) in finder and opened in QuickTime. Sure enough, just sound. No video.
    I've edited about 10 projects this year using FCE with all of this same equipment, but have never had this problem.
    I've made several attempts at troubleshooting this afternoon, but problem still not solved.
    Because I was curious, I attempted to import the same video into iMovie 06 (again, using all of the same equipment). No prob. Video successfully imported with audio.
    I even followed one thread's suggestion and got rid of some QT files in Receipts folder, then reinstalled QT. Did not solve problem.
    I've unplugged everything, then restarted computer (twice). But that hasn't worked.
    I've looked at Sequence settings to confirm that video's accounted for, and everything appears to be in order.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate reading them. I suspect I've overlooked something simple.
    I should probably point out that I have not performed any recent upgrades to my OS.
    Thanks, in advance, for taking the time read and consider this issue.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks so much. Trashing preferences worked. Wasn't sure what that meant, but googled it and found a helpful page. Just now succeeded at importing a video clip. As a slight aside, thumbnails now appear in browser, whereas text did previously. And borders/letterbox in viewer now appear gray instead of black. I realize these must be simple settings and I will hunt them down.
    Thank you so much. After reading your initial reply, I'd suspected I was going to have to do a reinstall (not terribly difficult, as I've done it once before).
    Nice of you to help out and that I could learn along the way!

  • Audio and video out of sync after capture from Canon

    Help for a newbie please?  I have a Canon XHA1S and have a problem after capturing HD video.  After capturing a 40 minute clip, the  audio and video are out of sync.  Seems like there is about a 3 second difference.  The entire clip is like that in the source window; I made a couple of quick edits and have the same problem in the program window.  Tried exiting and re-opening PP, but that didn't help.  I'm running PP in CS6 on an iMac 3.4 GHz i7 with 8G of ram.  Thanks!

    I have NOT used it, but many say to try this for HDV capture http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm

  • Low quality video after import from After Effects in FCP 7, but not FCP5

    Hi everyone,
    I trying to export a video from final cut pro. This video has motion graphics I built in After Effects, as well as footage from my T2i camera. I then took it into FCP to drop in audio and edit all my elements together.
    When I exported a 30 second preview a few days ago in FCP5, the .mov file retained the quality of the export from AE and looked great - no quality lost, smooth animations, high quality video.
    However, I then upgraded to FCP7, and now the quality is lower and the video components are a bit grainy when I export using the same settings. I've tried tweaking the settings, different ways of compression, but nothing is giving me the same clean export. I've even tried changing the sequence settings and putting my footage back down.
    The only other thing that's different is I compressed my T2i footage to ProRes422 before taking it into After Effects, however even the 15 seconds of original footage I didn't compress is grainy now (and so is the original and new graphic work) so I don't think that's it. When I change the timeline sequence settings, I can get it looking good in the preview - but as soon as I render it or send it to compressor it loses quality again.
    The ONLY differently between the two exports was upgrade Final Cut, but that doesn't make any sense to me. I've even tried reopening the preview FCP file (which then asks me to update the file to FCP7) and when I do it exports grainy as well - and NOTHING else has changed in that file or the export settings since my initial export of a 30 seconds preview.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what the issue may be? Or, what settings I can use to retain the quality when exporting?
    Thanks,
    Lauren

    Thank you so much! Although it's not exporting quite as clear as before, it's much, MUCH better now that I've corrected the timeline dominance - I'd say 95% better; and it will be re-compressed by my clients for web streaming so it doesn't need to be perfect - but the initial quality was garbage.
    I suspect when I exported my T2i footage as a ProRes file, than imported into After Effects, then back into FCP something happened along the way that messed up the quality slightly. Although the only difference in my method between FCP5 and 7 was converting to ProRes; which I only did for editing purposes as the native T2i footage needs to be rendered... which ended up being redundant as all my After Effects work needed to be rendered anyway. Ho hum.
    Do you think the ProRes conversion could account for the quality loss? It wasn't just the footage that was grainy/fuzzy, it was also the After Effects graphic work, which is why I didn't think the converstion could be the culprit. Hm. I'll have to look into this more!
    Thanks again - and so sorry for my delayed reply, I went on vacation shortly after I posted that message and only just got back to this project now
