Importing Audio for ppt files in Captivate
How do you import audio and sync over multiple powerpoint slides? I'm using Captivate 6
Welcome,
But this is a Captivate forum, not a PPT forum. If you use Captivate only for converting ppt-slides maybe a plug-in would be a better idea (Adobe Presenter, iSpring).
Record the audio in Captivate, using the Audio menu. You'll get one audio clip for each slide. And then you use the timeline to synchronize the appearance of objects. But if you are importing PPT-slides that have already animations and timings, you have to know that in CP you end up with a movie file, a recording of the PPT-slide, so synchronizing with a movie is not that easy as you perhaps know. While recording the audio you can watch the movie play in CP.

How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?
Hi Ed
Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that. To explain
further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files. This is very tedious
process when you have alot of files to save. So my question was is there a
way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
prodcution folder I want.
I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
would be nice if I could do everything automatically. Microsoft makes this
capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
do the same thing. Your help with this would be appreicated,
Thanks

: how can I import mp3s from my gmail account into my iTunes application so that I can import audio for recording into GarageBand ?
Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes. How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

Installed 4.01, now no audio for DV files....
HD files taken with my Sony SR-HD12 are fine, but I can no longer hear any audio for any files shot in DV. Anyone else have this issue?
Installing the 4.01 update has been known to reset sequence settings.
Have a look through all your sequence settings and be sure they make sense for your project.

No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps
No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps.
If i open in Premiere Pro CC any file AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps (with internal audio MP3 or AC3) i got growing out of sync from start to end of file, even while play it at internal media player of Premiere Pro CC for source file.
Using external audio files AC3 or MP3 not help.
In properties of source file i see 23.97 fps instead of 23.976 fps, and time of internal file is wrong.
If i try Clip > Modify > Interpreter Footage > custom settings to 23.976 time i see right time, but when i click "OK", custom fps saved as 23.98 fps instead of 23.976 fps and time of source goes wrong again.
So i always get bad sync such files in Premiere Pro CC while play or export them.
But in all media players, other editors, and in PluralEyes sync OK with all such files.
If i open M2TS or MP4 (H264 23.976 fps) source file, all OK, it it shows as 23.976 fps, time is right, and sync OK.
So i want to add automatic detection 23.976 fps instead of 23.97 fps for source AVI files with 23.976 fps.
Is it possible?Yes, i know what XviD and DivX does not edit well in Premiere Pro. And because of that i create this topic "No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps" and was hoping to get help in solving the problem, rather than stating that the problem really is.
XviD and DivX it is MPEG4.
Xvid (formerly "XviD") is a video codec library following the MPEG-4 standard, specifically MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvid
I have many old useful materials in XviD and DivX formats, and have no other formats versions for that material.
XviD and DivX are very compact formats to store video at acceptable quality and it is fully compatible with all players and editors for PC except Premiere Pro.
You suggest to convert them to another format (DV) to make compatible with Premiere Pro... It is not what i want.
Let me explaine:
1) Size of files
uploaded AVI XviD 1280x720 file with very good quality have size 1.9Gb (with audio AC3 2.0). If i convert it via VirtualDub from "AVI XviD" to AVI DVCPRO HD 1280x720 (without audio) it have size 35Gb, and quality is worst than at XviD-HD, and also converting take much time.
2) Compatibility with AC3 and MP3 audio inside AVI
AVI DV / AVI DVCPRO not compatible with AC3 and MP3 audio inside, only with PCM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DV
AVI XviD and DivX can use AC3, MP3, OGG audio without any problems.
Size of 1Hour 30Min "AC3 Stereo 48kHz 16bit 384Kbps" file is 257Mb
Size of 1Hour 30Min "PCM Stereo 48kHz 16bit" file is 1030Mb
3) I have and use hardware H264 encoder card "Matrox CompressHD" for export my material
http://www.matrox.com/video/en/products/compresshd/specs/
This card works only from Adobe Premiere Pro, so i can not use it from VirtualDub or other editing software.
So i need a full compatibility Adobe Premiere Pro with all popular standard formats of input files.
Here we see:
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html#Supportedvideoformats
Supported video formats:
"Adobe Premiere Pro CC leads the industry with incredible, thorough native media support, meaning you can edit virtually all of the major video, image, and audio formats natively without waiting."
As most PC users knows, AVI XviD it is a very popular free video format, and would be very useful if Adobe will make normal compatibility with that format in Premiere Pro. -
Pro cs3 not importing audio in avi files
ok it seems for some reason that my cs 3 is not importing audio in my avi files the video channel imports but no audio anyone know a reason why this is please
AVI is but a "wrapper." This ARTICLE will give you much more background, plus direct you on finding out what is inside that wrapper.
It might be as simple as a setting change, but conversion will likely be the path to take.
Good luck, and let us know what G-Spot (in the article) tells you about that/those file(s).

AVI import fails for older files but works in iMovie
I have two sets of AVI files, one from early 2000 and newer post 2008.
Both groups of files import fine into iMovie 11.
however, only the newer group imports into FCP X.
I can convert the older files to MOV using QT, but this won't work well for many files.
Seems if iMovie can read, so should FCP X.I have had a similar problem, where maye 8 out of 10 AVI format moves will download into iPhoto, but the rest simply never get there. I did get 107 out of 109 files OK but have seen worse. I can tell you about which camera it is, how I connect and so on, but first, this:
A small sidebar in the Bugs & Fixes column of the April, 2007 Macworld magazine (see page 89) mentions that: "the likely cause is a problematic third-party QuickTime Plug-in." and advises the reader to check for and remove plug-ins not installed by OSX.
I took the same camera and imported all 109 pics from my camera on a separate account of the same machine (20" i-mac but I don't think this is relevant) and got all 109 f 109 files just fine.
So, I think "problematic third party QT plug-ins may be a good call. Need to investigate this some more, but its a flaky problem and Macs are supposed to "just plain work". -
Import error for .prproj files
so i've just touched adobe mc CS4 for the first time, my church is allowing me to use the studio/editing room while not being used during the day at certain times. i am compiling a dvd of my wedding to make it more proffessional than the previously made vesion (which looks very amateur with a basic template menue, and so on). i plan to use some flash on the menus and maybe even include an easter egg as well. anyway, with the other program i just imported the media from the camera (which is an HDD camera that records everything into .mod files) i've had a .mod converter for quite some time so those are already converted.i saved them on an external HDD, i created a folder on the computer and just dragged and dropped the folder onto there.
anyway, with my old program (cyberlink power producer/director) i'd just import the media into the editor, make the edits and cuts and save the project. then import the project into the author program to make teh menus and burn it. when i first pulled up the program to get acclimated to it, i decided to run through a very quick dry run of a full start to stop dvd burn of a very small video. i did a short series of clips and edits in Premiere (the oevr all project is like 6 minutes long). saved the project, and when i go to import the project into Encore it reads "the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system""adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
i can encode the project as an mpeg, and it imports just fine. i can import the individual clips that make up the project into encore, they work fine as well.but if i import the .prproj file, it gives me the error. so whats the deal? can you just drag and drop these files in like this? i'm just trying to keep from constantly encoding the files after 3 encodes, i'm affraid the quality of the video will suffer too much degradation, so i'm trying to get it to where i can just import the project, and then at the end burn the project to dvd.
i figured it better to ask on here, this way i look like a fool anonymously, and not look like a fool to people i actually know. heh.PrPro will come to you. It has fewer "automations," and "big-button" solutions, than PowerDirector (and Magix and PrE), but with that comes power!
It is the same with Encore vs the limited authoring capabilities of PowerDirector, Magix, Roxio and PrE. Again, more hand-work, but oh, so much more power!
Can you tell that I am a control freak, and do not mind getting my hands dirty to access the power?
There are a few things that Encore cannot do, that programs like Sonic Scenarist can do, but there are usually workarounds, either in the design, or in the implementation, that will get you "there," or close.
I strongly recommend that any new user to Encore purchase and read Jeff Bellune's excellent book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. That book covers everything that Encore can do, with two current exceptions - Adobe Dynamic Link (CS4 version) and BD authoring. Both of those were added after the book and EncoreDVD 2.0, were released. However, the Help files cover both of those newer additions well.
Along with the fundamentals of Encore, Jeff covers all sorts of tricks and tips for getting more out of Encore, than the DVD-specs. actually allow. Obviously, he cannot break those rules, though he CAN help you create the illusion that the rules HAVE been broken. The user will swear that they just saw things, that are impossible, based on the DVD-specs., which are very limiting. Hey, it IS "smoke and mirrors," but if the user is fooled, you have succeeded, right?
Good luck, and when you get around to adding some "tricks" to your DVD-Videos, post back. I'd suggest a new thread, so that other users can benefit from the new title, and so that users know that this is a new question. You will find that there is not too much, that someone here has not done, one way, or another. Oh, there ARE some limitations, where there is no good way to "bend" those DVD-specs., but you'll be surprised at what one can "bend."
Happy authoring,

No audio for some files in the Final Cut Event/Original Media folder
Hi, recently, I noticed that some of the video files stored into the Final Cut Event/"Event"/Original Media folder had no audio. They do have audio when I read them into FCP X but not when I open them as ordinary files in the Finder. It worries me as it makes these files unusable in any other application, unless I "share" them from FCP X. It's no big deal but it's more work and on the principle, it's criminal: why FCP X would strip the audio off an original? Video and photo applications now work on the non-destructive principle!
I usually shoot videos with a DSLR (Canon 550D/T2i) and a GoPro 3. It seems that the files impacted are the ones shot with the Canon and optimized for FCP X. The GoPro files are fine, optimized or not.
Is there any solution to this problem or will I have to export the files from FCP X?Thank you very much for the info.
I removed the Media Cache and Media Cache File folders. Didn't seem to make any difference. Also, there's no audio if I try to play it in Organizer.
I have a question regaring "import". What exactly does that mean?
Since all my MTS files are on hard drive already, what I did was:
1) Open a new project in PE9.
2) In the "Organize" tab, click "Get Media"
3) Choose "Get Videos/Photos/Audio from: Files and Folders".
4) In the pop-up window, navigate to my folder and choose the existing MTS file.
Was that called "import"?
Thank you again!

I'm running Premiere Element 9 (registered version) on Windows 7 X64.
I have some exsiting MTS files on the hard drive (they are from Canon HF20 camcorder).
If I play those MTS files in Windows Media, everything was fine. I got video and audio.
But when I create a project and put those files in the project, I got video only. There's no audio.
For troubleshooting purpose, I install Premiere Pro (CS5) and VideoStudio (from Corel). Both of them worked fine with audio. So it looks like the problem is specific to Premiere Element only.
I've gone through the thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/731032?tstart=0. But couldn't fix the problem.
Any hints would be appreciated!

No audio for avi files in Quicktime
Hi, like many others I'm having difficulty trying to restore audio to avi videos. It seems to be a codec related problem but I'm not sure.
My Quicktime folder contains:
AC3 MovieImport.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
Perian.component
Is there another codec I need or do I need to delete one or more I already have?
Any help would be much appreciatedBut then why has Quicktime played these avi video files with audio in the past? What has happened to the audio data? It's been mentioned by some that problems like this occurred after the 7.5 Quicktime update?
Frankly, I leave that up to you to find out. However, here are the logical options as I see them:
1) The inspector is not seeing any audio because there is none.
1a) If the files never played audio, then it never contained any audio in the first place.
1b) If the files previously played and currently do not, then
1b1) Either you converted or deleted the audio content (check the "Properties" window if you have QT Pro or use either the Finder "Get Info" or another application to re-check for an audio track)
1b2) Updating QT or the addition of another codec has created a component conflict and you will have to run a conflict test to discover where the problem lies. Basically, updating the QT structure or adding a new component can alter the order that the QT Player/QT applications may call components. In some cases the components may "argue" over which component should be used. In other cases, the component being called first may be in conflict with another installed component whereas the previously "first called" component did not. (I.e., see hoodstar's recent "SALVATION" revelation comment regarding the same problem.) -
Exact import settings for .mov files via MPEG Streamclip?
Ok, as I mentioned in this other thread , I'm looking to import some files recorded at an odd resolution into FCE.
Resizing my 512x288 files to 720x480 looks like it works, as well as with my 640x480 ones (don't know how it'll ultimately mess with the quality)... but I did do a test using some footage from 3 different video sources with different native resoultions, a)720x480 Sony DV Cam, b) 512x288 captured by helmet cam on Archos PMA 430, and c) 640x480 captured on Canon SD600, as well as .jpeg photos at 640x480 res.
I changed the odd sizes (Archos & Canon) to 720x480 using MPEG Streamclip, resampling the sound uncompressed at 48 khz, using the Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC compression option. Importing these files into FCE, I mixed them and the Sony standard footage, and a few pictures up on a timeline, rendered it and exported it to a QT file, then burnt a CD. It appears to have worked to my satisfaction.
My question is, before I go and convert about 60 5-10 minute clips to this 720x480 resolution for use in a full length documentary, are there any settings I should be ticking off on the MPEG Streamclip interface to maximize the likelihood that the final project will work as well as the test did?
Below are the options I selected in the test, which seemed to work:
MPEG STREAMCLIP
Compression: Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
Quality: 100%
Sound: Uncompressed Stereo 48 KHZ
Frame Size: 720x480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Checked boxes for:
-Frame Blending
-Better Downscaling
-Interlaced Scaling
Zoom: 100%
X/Y: 1
Center: 0,0
Field Dominance: Upper field first
That's about it. I tried doing similar conversions in a trial version of DIVX Converter pro, but the quality was noticibly lower than in MPEG streamclip. Maybe I just had the wrong settings in it.
Anyway, Tom Wolsky has mostly got me on the right track in the last post "...so the material needs to be a .mov QuickTime file in DV NTSC, at 29.97fps, audio should be Linear PCM with a sample rate of 48KHz, and frame resolution of 720x480 using the CCIR601 digital video aspect ratio... be warned you're scaling up a very, very heavily compressed video stream, so it's going to look less than optimal when you make it DV. I can't believe they can do 192kbps at that frame rate, when DV, which is heavily compressed as well, is 3.5MB/sec."
I have no idea if what I described in my test is heavily compressed or not, so couldn't really say how the settings I mentioned above affect Tom's latter advice.
Anyway, any help would be welcome before I encode all these files. Thanks.
iMac 17-inch 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4)I'm kind of confused because the only settings I could find on the Handycam for audio are 12 khz and 16 khz, and though I think I filmed them at 12, I've captured the footage at both within FCE... I'm not sure either have shown any probs when imported at 48 khz as yet. Not sure if that's because they are a multiple of 48 or I just got lucky. Either way, 1) does the audio bit rate the footage was captured at (12 khz) change to 16 if changed on the camcorder (or is it solely what the original was filmed in, period) prior to capture on FCE, 2) and if so or if not, how serious of a problem will it pose, if I do nothing and keep the FCE settings at the normal NTSC 48khz, in later stages of production considering there will be a lengthy timeline?

PP won't import audio in .ts file recorded using PCTV software on PC

JVC GY-HM100u Import issues for MOV files
We shot the most recent video in the MOV format using our JVC
camera. The native files only open with audio in Premiere CS5.
When trying to open the xml files, we keep getting
"The importer reported a generic error." What codecs do we need to fix this for quicktime or what
other work arounds are available?
Thanks<sigh>
That's because MP4 and MOV are the CONTAINERS, not the codec, and the containers are not the same. It's an XDCAM EX 35Mbps camera, first and foremost--this is a specific codec used to compress the captured images. Then, they are stuffed into either an MP4 box or an MOV box; you use the MOV box when you're working on a Mac with FCP, and you use the MP4 box when you want to preserve your sanity (and mine, apparently). What is inside those boxes is EXACTLY the same.
You need to use MP4--even though it's the same codec and content--because Apple does not provide the decoding components ("box cutter") for XDCAM EX MOVs on the Windows version of QuickTime, or on any Mac that does not have FCP installed. QuickTime on Windows can't open the box, Premiere Pro cannot open the box, and pretty much everything else on the PC cannot open the box. However, the program I linked to earlier can open the MOV box, and will put the video into a different box (actually, an MPG box, not an MP4 box, but it really doesn't matter). This is no different than moving your Levis from one suitcase to another; they don't suddenly become a polyester leisure suit.
If you're hell-bent on using the MOV container, I won't try to convince you any longer: plunk down the cash for the Calibrated XD Decode QuickTime components and get on with it.
