Losing audio in Motion with undo

This must have happened to someone else. I put a .mov file in a layer. The .mov has both video and audio on it. I undo the action cmd-z. Then decide to put another .mov file in the same layer. Actually, I can put the same .mov that I previously "cmd-z"d back in or any other audio/video piece back in the same layer and I have no audio.
Any takers on the solution?
Thanks
Doug

Unfortunately, I don't have the templates installed, but I think I reproduced it.
I placed a still in the Layer List
Replaced it w/ a QT w/ Audio file
undo
(at this point i noticed that the Audio track still shows a grayed out audio layer named the same as the QT file)
Replaced the still w/ a different QT w/ Audio file
(at this point the the Audio track remained grayed out and was still named the name of the original QT file.)
hit play, no audio. (I can see that while there is a grayed out audio layer, there is no audio track in the Timeline)
How to get it to work again:
In the Audio Tab or in the Timeline, unlink the grayed out audio track by clicking on the chain icon and delete it.
You should now be able to replace the file with a QT w/ audio and have audio play back correctly.
Unfortunately, this seems to need to be done every time if you undo.
Hope that helps you out.

How to add full screen text w/out losing audio. I have premier elements 12

I am creating a language tutorial. Am trying to add full screen text without losing the audio explanation of the text. How do I make this edit and not lose the audio that coincides with the full screen text?

Roberto
Thanks for the details.
Variable - Constant Frame Rate Explanation
First, the variable frame rate mention and any problems that might be expected if your iPad video was recorded with a variable rather than constant frame rate. Some cameras (such a cell phone, iPod, probably iPad) record video not at one frame rate across the whole video recording. Instead, they record with a variable frame rate depending usually on the lighting conditions during video recording. One way to know what your recording device is using is to view the MediaInfo video audio properties readout. If you have a constant frame rate, you will see just one frame rate listed. If variable, you should see 3 frame rates listed minimum, maximum, and mid range frame rate.
MediaInfo - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com
This situation may or may not cause problems for you in Premiere Elements. The signs of problems are usually out of sync audio and you just cannot import the video into the project. If this type of problem, then you take your video into a program such as HandBrake to generate a file with a constant rather than variable frame rate. Then you import the file with the constant frame rate into your Premiere Elements project. http://handbrake.fr/
Again, this may or may not create problems.
The Generalized Project Workflow
There is no problem to setup up your Timeline physically. The iPad video with go to Video Track 1 and Audio Track 1. The video is imported into the project linked to it audio portion. And, the Full Screen Text Files will be on Video Track 2 directly above the related content. Now here is the part that I am not yet clear on. Is the Full Screen Text for a given portion of video supposed to synchronize word for word with what you are saying in the audio on Audio Track 1? That will involve a mapping out part with regard to duration of each of the Full Screen Text files. Will these Full Screen Text files be readable against the video representing the background? Font style and size and color will be major considerations as well as getting the text file to be on screen long enough to be readable even with Font style, size, and color considerations.
The fact that you focus on audio loss in all this makes me wonder if I am missing a vital part of what you want to do. The loss of audio concern that you mention does not seem like a prime factor unless you are referring to sync between the texts and what it is supposed to correspond to in the audio of the video.
Please review and consider and then, based on your reply, I will offer a mini demo to see if we are OK on the details.
Thanks.

NO Audio on Motion Templates

When creating Motion Templates for use in Final Cut Pro -- no matter what I do, I cannot get the audio to show up in FCP. The audio plays and is editable in motion --but the Template, when opened in FCP has NO audio. It is not just that it won't play..but there is literally no audio data associated with the file. Only the video layer comes through. Any thoughts? Thanks much.

I don't know if the challenge I'm having is the same one you commented on here. I created a 3D type Motion template where I have a split screen effect - e.g., a video clip of a presenter appears on the left side and a Powerpoint type slide appears on the right side - each are rotated at 45 degree - towards the center. I have no problem replacing the drop zones for both the video clip and slide, but the audio tracks aren't available when used in FCP. I can add and sync a copy of the video/audio to a separate track behind the Motion template, but I would think there is a more elegant solution.
Essentially I'm looking for a set of templates where I can switch the focus between the video of a speaker and the Powerpoint slide they use in the presentation. There would be 2 sets of templates - The first set would transition to/from the speaker footage to the the split screen effect (described above), the second set would transition to/from the slide and the split screen effect.
Am I hitting a limitation of the Motion templates where the audio of a video drop zone is not utilized?
Is there a better way to accomplish what I want?

Bad audio in motion menu

I've got a small video I want to use for a motion menu. But I've run into an issue with the audio being filled with a lot of static. The audio is fine in FCEHD, and sounds fine in QuickTime Player, but sounds really bad in DVDSP4. The clip is only 30 seconds long.
Could this be an issue with the length of the template (I'm using the TheaterNTSC_Peoplepj.mov template)? I've set the duration to 30 seconds from the default for 42. Also, I've used compressor to create the .m2v and .aiff files.
Anyway, I'm new to all this and am probably doing something stupid, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

The audio is fine in FCEHD, and sounds fine in QuickTime Player ...
Check that the audio is 48kHz sample rate, and 16 bit. It is possible/probable that FCE HD will play anything; but a standard DVD uses 48kHz audio.

I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset?

I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset/earphones?

Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

Is there a way to wake an ipad up by detecting motion with the front camera?

I am using the iPad for an HMI Display To control a machine and want it to be able to wake up from sleep just by detecting motion with the front camera rather than having to push any buttons on the iPad, is this even possible?

No apple store, or Best Buy or anything like that. Again, she lives in a very remote area. The closest stores are roughly 6 hours away. I suppose she can go to a friends house that has a computer but then she is setting up her ipad on someone else's computer. Since she's been able to use the thing out of the box (and without a computer) for over a year, we were just hoping to this without the need of a computer. I guess we will just have to wait for her next visit to us in the city.
Thanks.

Why doesn't Apple supply a simple audio recording app with the iPad? (Garage Band is not simple app)

I am going to be teaching an integrated media production course in the spring semester (creating an online college newspaper) and I want the students to use mini iPads to create images, videos and sound clips. Images and video, no problem. Easy to move to our iMacs in the lab for editing and inclusion in a college newspaper web site. On the other hand, audio is a mess. Sure, I can have them shoot video, import the video into Final Cut on the iMacs and then use Final Cut like an audio editor, but that is pretty lame. They could download Garage Band but that would require all the students to have iTunes accounts, which is a real pain. And moving audio recording made with Garage Band to the iMac is a real drag and way too much work. Why the **** can't Apple include a simple audio memo program in the basic iPad app setup? This is really old school stuff that was on computers way back when. Using Garage Band for that simple function is like swatting flies with a sledge hammer.

Make finding a simple audio recorder the students first assignment. Have them give presentation. Have file a news story to the 'paper'.

Losing Audio in OS X Mavericks

Maybe other maverics users are experiencing the same problem.It happens 3 or 4 times that maverics shown no audo device available.
And yes this problem is experienced by some other users.If you are not getting any proper cause and solution,you can to go to this site
http://www.imore.com/losing-audio-os-x-mavericks-heres-what-you-can-do-about-it.
But I am more concerned that apple developers should release a fix for this.Developers please listen to us.

Yes, I've seen the issue come up more than a few times here. But here you're only talking to other users like yourself.
You can let Apple know by filing feedback here. The more who file the more chance it will get fixed quickly.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Intermittent Audio Drop-offs with Airtunes to Apple TV

A number of other threads have similar problems. iMac 2.8 GHz iTunes 8.1 is connect to an updated ATV via new dual-channel ABS on the "n" band. Still there are audio drop offs with AirTunes as it did with the previous ABS Extreme n and previous version of iTunes. So much so, I just gave up and used the Apple Remote on the iPhone to play ATV. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Switching from WEP to WPA/WPA2 personal seems to have totally cured the dropouts for me.
Also I used an old flying saucer Airport as the receiver via ethernet out for my entreatment center instead of using the AppleTV's wireless.
Also I had a Panasonic security cam that didn't support WPA so I used another flying saucer Airport via ethernet out as its receiver.
So now my setup is,
Airport Extreme in my home office as my main base station with a Motorola ADSL 2200 router feeding it internet.
Flying saucer Airport via ethernet and a hub feeding my AppleTV, DirecTV DVR, and a Mac mini.
Another flying saucer Airport via ethernet feeding my Panasonic security cam.
Airport Express for my bedroom speakers.
All airports are in bridge mode with the Motorola 2200 DSL modem acting as my router. (this seems to be the only way my Vonage adapter recovers without having to be reset if my DSL goes down)
I steam music from my 17" Macbook Pro to the AppleTV and Bedroom speakers all day now without any dropouts.

Split clips in Final Cut Pro X are losing audio

So I am new to final cut and on my maiden voyage I came across an interesting problem:
Whenever I use the blade tool to split my clips I am losing audio on the rest of the clip. I am using footage uploaded from a P2 card. The raw footage has audio and I only lose it on the right side of wherever I use the tool. Anyone heard of this and know of a solution?

Thanks Tom, I may have partially figured this out...I just inserted a transition...and all of the video/audio went out of sync from that point on (in that clip). So, if I just don't use transitions, I'm OK...NOT! Let me see if I can get a screenshot.

Hi, I trimmed an audio regin in the audio track edior with "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" on. But I zoom in.the waveform was not ended at Zero point. Why? In the audio file editork, "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" option works fine.

Hi,

correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:
14) Point to the start or end OF one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, LEFT-CLICK and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection's start and end points.
Another Correction:
Originally read:
Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.

Motion with Avid

I need help badly! I'm on this project that has a tight deadline. I've used motion with FCP in the past with no problem. But for the life of me I can not get the alpha channel to work with Avid. I'm not real knowledgeable in this field. Could someone walk me through this? I want to create titles in motion then export them to QuickTime, then import the QuickTime file within my avid project and lay it over video on my sequence. How do I do this? I'm desperate!!!

I haven't used or had to provide elements to an Avid system in about 5 or 6 years now, but I hope I can help.
I'm not sure if avid has support for a QT with imbedded alpha now, (it didn't then)
When I would render out elements from Flame, Combustion or AE, I would render out both the fill and the alpha.
In AE and Combustion I would render out via the Avid Meridian codec the fill and then the alpha.
If the Avid still requires a separate alpha, you can easily render out the two elements in Motion.
First render your fill (Lossless animation or Avid codec if it's still available standalone.) Click options on the Export Dialog, click the Options tab, for Color, select Color from the drop down menu.
Then render your alpha (to the same codec). Click options on the Export Dialog, click the Options tab, for Color, select Alpha from the drop down menu.
I'm fuzzy on the import into Avid since it's been so long and I'm not sure if it's changed any.
I really hope that sets you off in the right direction.

Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player. It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams. It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux. I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com
To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
You need to add this setting:
dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.
