Live Type graphics interfering with audio on playback to output monitor

New to Mac, so bare with me.
When I drop live type graphics in timeline and play with the built in audio, plays fine. When I output it to mini dv to record via firewire, and hit play the audio is fine till the timeline marker goes past the end of the graphic, then the audio drops out for a few seconds, then its o.k. again. This happens on every graphic, no exceptions. Now the audio is coming through the NTSC speakers.
Funny thing though, we I play back the recorded tape, the audio plays fine.
The audio also plays fine on the built in speakers. Onlu when outputted to firewire to the mini dv.
This is very annoying.
Can someone help please?
Using a LaCie 500 gig firewire drive, via the 800 firewire port.
Thanks

Not to be ignorant ha ha.
How do I mix down the audio? Do you think that if I hit play on the timeline and then hit record on dv, that might work?
Will give that a shot though!
Thanks,Jerry

Problems With Audio/Picture Playback in Director

I'm pretty new to Director and I want to refrain
from getting into scripting for this simple task:
I am animating frame by frame with no vectors. I put a .wav
file in one of the sound channels and stretch it across the entire
animation (few thousand frames) for a scene. Then, no matter where
I am in the animation, when I press play the sound starts from the
beginning.
There is no way in hell I'll be able to sync lips with
dialogue by playing the entire scene from the beginning every time
just to see the sound synced with audio. I want to be able to play
the same fraction of a second (several frames) while animating and
KNOW WHERE IN THE SOUND I'M AT. I would have thought this expensive
program would at least display the spectrogram or something, much
less not play the audio from the beginning when I'm in the middle
of the sound sprite. I've prerecorded the entire sound score in one
Audacity file and exported it as a .wav to Director. I don't want
to use any other sound channels or ques, etc.
PLEASE HELP, and thank you.

Director is a program that can be used to make interactive
multimedia
and software.
What you want is make a linear video.
You are much better off with a video editing suite or
specialised
synch software.

Problems with audio after playback

So sorry in advance if this has been asked before but im not 100% sure on how to describe the problem im having with my audio after export. heres a link to the video- https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byffs2-9EE3bdDdWcDNVNGVaMnc/edit?usp=sharing . ***PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LYRICS ARE EXPLICIT AND WHILE THE VIDEO MAY BE OF A VIDEO GAME IT IS GRAPHIC*** So the audio sounds fine while editing and when i export the level is around -18db but when playing it back in quicktime it almost sounds like its crackling and popping and im unsure why. if it makes a difference im playing it back through some monitors connected through my UA Apollo Quad interface. thanks to anyone who can help me figure out whats wrong.

Hi fox5urf3r,
Welcome to the forum. I would suggest that you try listening on other speakers. Sounds OK to me.
Thanks,
Kevin

Video losing sync with audio during playback

I am having a unique issue with FCP 6.0.6.
We are using this version to log and capture a switched video feed with audio
through a Black Magic DeckLink HD Extreme 3 PCI card. Capture works fine.
But during playback the next day, the video seems to drop a frame, or lose sync
(you can see it visually) then continues playing. The result is the video is now
out of sync with the audio.
We do a weekly 3 camera shoot which is webcast, and then later uploaded to youtube.
We have been running this setup for a number of years without issue, but this has started
becoming an issue the last 3 weeks in a row with no change to our setup.
The webcast does not experience this, which makes me think there is a sync issue
between my switcher and my FCP machine.
Any thoughts or ideas?

OS 10.6.8

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure there was NO change? (All sorts of problems can occur if you haven't turned off automatic updates.)
In any case, you might want to run Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) to delete the FCP prefs. Sometimes they get corrupted and can cause some funky behaviors.
Otherwise, sounds like a question for Blackmagic technical support.

LIVE TYPE GRAPHICS COMING UP INTERLACED IN FCP 5

Hi there, Somebody Help!!!
I've got live type text that i'm exporting into FC5. When I put it on my time line it comes up blocky and interlaced. If I change my time line settinges to no fields it makes the live type text clear but then it adversely affects the footage in the time line.
My live type project settings are the same as my FC5 settings. I've tried either rendering out the LT text as a rendered movie or just doing the quick import as a live type file.
Does anybody please have any info, its driving me up the wall.
Cheers

We see similar questions often so you could try scrolling down a few months to review past posts.
Our usual response is that you must view the final render on your target video output monitor. You cannot rely on the computer display for accurate pixel/field display since it is a low-rez and frame-only, progressive display.
There was a bug in an earlier release that had the field setting reversed so you can always try changing that, too.

Help with Audio Device Playback

Hoping someone out there can help. Before I updated to iTunes 7, I played back all of my iTunes music through some studio monitors connected to a Digidesign Mbox audio interface. Since upgrading, I cannot get clean audio using this device. When I select "Digidesign Mbox: Chan 1-2" as the default sound playback device in my QuckTime preferences, playing a song in iTunes gives me a garbled sound--almost sounds like a CD that's skipping. Can anybody help with a solution? I hate having to listen to my tunes through two tiny cheap computer speakers!
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I have the same problem. I get the garbled "Skipping" sound when I use the new version of iTunes. The only way I have to get around it is an old version of iTunes 6 I have saved - it has the same version of Quick Time Attached that was good (then) and should work with the WaveDriver. I have an MBOX 2 and it sounds GREAT.
It really is bad that Apple has this "New, Great" iTunes but it won't work with the existing hardware. I can go from my Sound Card out to my Monitors, but the sound quality is bad. And it is so much easier to just use the MBOX volume adjuster - it is very handy.
Apple, please fix this problem. I want to download DRM free music but iTunes 7.2 does not work with MBOX 2.

Lenovo A536 problem with audio video playback.

I've bought lenovo a536 smartphone 3days ago and I couldn't listen to music continuesly.
The audio or video player is stop playing or pausing unexpectedly. It is only giving problem while using headset.
Try to fix this critical bug.
It just ruined the reputation of lenovo.
Such a worst design ever with lots of bugs.

I have more informations..
First a iWire cable is a simple display port to Hdmi 1.4 cable (you can buy it from applestore and it support audio + video).
SO, I installed windows 7 on bootcamp, and when I plug the iWire cable on my macbook pro while the home theater + videoprojector are ON, windows crash and restart...
If I plug the iWire cable on the macbook but if only the home theater is ON and the videoprojector is OFF, then it works... The hometheater is recognized as a TV...
What I don't understand is that my apple TV don't have problem with this config, nether my westerdigital tv.. It's only with a macbook.. display port should not be exactly same thing as a hdmi output maybe.. :/
I think I will have to buy a longer hdmi cable to plug it on the vp, and a optical cable for the audo to my ht :/

Old win98 soundblaster live drivers or applications disabled audio CD playback on

Bought a used PC with XP installed on it, and put my sisters old soundblaster li've in it and used the old install discs without really considering it properly. Now it seems that the audio CD arent recognised by the system anymore, and audio CDs show up as blank. Tried to uninstall, but could not, as the system didnt make a restore point and wont go to any restore point after the install. Manually removed the card and all references in the registry to the creative card, but still no luck. System just wont see audio CD's. Will installing the unidriver set work to restore the audio CD functionality(assuming that it installs), or am I looking at a complete reinstall of windows. Dont have the original CD (used computer), so I dont want to have to do that. Anyone have an idea of how to resolve this?

Have you tried by installing the proper driver package intend for XP ?

Graphics oversized with my LCD TV as second monitor

Help! I am using my Samsung 40 inch TV as a second monitor. No matter what pixel config I do the screen is oversized. For example, if I use the Samsung as my main monitor the menu bar at the top is off the screen and I can barley see the tops of the the dock icons. When I was using the Tiger operating system under monitor system preferences there was some kind of box I could check to not oversize the screen. This would downsize the screen on the TV (which left about an inch border of black all around), but was good because everything fit like it was on the mac screen. Now since I have updated to Leopard I cannot find this option. Is there any way I can get it back to the way it used to be?
Thanks,
Trenton

It seems like the problem is very TV-specific.

Recording with audio playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into real time?

Ive recorded a test video with audio/music playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into "real" time?
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 50% I would make the video 100% faster.
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 100% I would make the video 200% faster.
So its obviously somewhere inbetween speeding up by 100-200%
Sorry but its melting my brain today and I cant remember the calculation.
thanks

hey all
Thanks for the advise on this. I will explain a little more what am have/am intending to do.
I have used Audacity to slow the song down (Effect>Change Tempo)
Audacity will allow me slow the original song down by up to 99% (Or anything in-between up to 3 decimal places)
Unfortunately I am working to a time restraint of 12 minutes per clip (as my DSLR will only allow up to a 12 minute clip).
The song at normal speed is 4 minutes long.
Originally I slowed the audio down by 50% (Making the audio 8 minutes long), lip synced to it using a rasta blaster and recorded the video using my DSLR at 720p 50fps.
I then imported the video and audio I had been lip syncing to into FCPX.
I sped up the video by x2 (equivalent to speeding it up 200%)
Retime>Fast 2X
Layered the PROPER normal speed audio back over the top and all was fine.
Test video complete.
(You can ignore the 65% slowed down audio I mentioned earlier if you like, that was just an example of a slower than 50% audio test)
Firstly what I really want to do is to be able to slow the AUDIO down as much as possible (But still within the restraints of only being able to adjust FCPX retiming within a whole 1 percentage in the final video edit), but have the AUDIO of the song as near to/under 12 minutes as possible.
I will then re-record the video again to this new slowed down audio.
Secondly I will speed up the video from 12 minutes to 4 minutes.
Thirdly I will layer the correct 100% Normal AUDIO on top.
The FINISHED video should then look like everyone is wizzing around at high speed but the guitar playing/lyrics look like they are being played/sung at the normal speed.
Whatever happens (due to the constraints of FCPX) I need the calculations to work so that FCPX is retimed exactly to a whole 1% for the final video to sync up correctly.
So what I need to know in a nut shell is:-
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage to slow a 4 minute song down to a 12 minute song?
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage of how much I need to then speed the 12 minute video up to turn it back into a 4 minute video?
My mind is melting

Live Type fonts break up upon import into NLE

So I create a title in Live Type - Preset: CCIR 601 NTSC sq. 4:3, Field Dom: Lower, with alpha channel - nothing major, just a little effect on a white font. I render it out and look at it in the preview window - perfect, crystal clear! However, when I import it into whatever NLE I am using, the import becomes jagged, like a field order problem. I use AVID MC 2.6 and Final Cut Pro 5. Regardless in both they do the same.
I have a sony trintron monitor and turned it on after reading a similar post. Same thing. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Anomaly_7,
The AVID editors I work with use the Live Type graphics I create all the time. These LT graphics incorporate movement, effects, textures and they all work in AVID.
The AVID used here is the Symphony Version #5.
To match the AVID Import Settings we have here just click options. [It's in the lower left hand of the box]
Then set as follows:
1. Aspect + Ratio Pixel Aspect>select 601 non-square
2. Color Levels > select 601
3. File Field Order > select Even (Lower Field)
4. Alpha > select Invent Existing
One more suggestion is to change your deck preferences to drop frame and use the default settings in LT.
Please report back whether this works for you or not.
Good Luck

Can Live Type be used with imovie?

Hmmm.. I removed the plist and for the time being it seems to have worked. Is this a common problem with 10.5.x and iMovie? I have used iMovie for year and never had a problem. What's especially odd is it was occurring in both iLife 08 and iLife HD.
Since this is a new MacBook I have yet polluted my system with my own installs, but one of the installs I have done is the Perian codec. I am wondering if that has anything to do with the issue.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...
