Lost audio editing capabilities

I've used audio for about 11 months in Captivate 2 with few
problems. Yesterday, however, I lost the ability to open the audio
edit windows. If I double-click on the audio in the timeline, a
light blue transparent color displays in the entire timeline.If I
right-click to open the audio edit window, nothing happens. I can
play, delete, and record audio.
I also cannot publish or preview .cp files with audio. I can
publish and preview .cp files that do not contain audio. This
happens in all my .cp files.
Do you think I have a corrupt file or did I inadvertantly
turn something on or off? Any troubleshooting suggestions?
Thanks, SweetCharlotte

Captivate allows you to simply drag the audio file on the timeline left or right. Double click the waveform on the slide to open the Slide Audio dialog where you have more editing options.
Agreed that Captvate's audio editing abilities are not stellar. That's because it's feature set concentrates on tasks related to creating e-learning rather than specialising in audio editing.
The Elearning Suites 1.0 and 2.0 had Adobe Soundbooth as it's audio editing tool. The latest version 2.5 now has Adobe Audition, which is even better. If you're serious about audio, you'll need more than Captivate on its own.

HP Special Edition L2000 --Installed Win7Home Edition- 64bit and lost audio.

Installed Win7 Home Edition --64bit on my HP Special Edition L2000 and lost audio. Speaker icon has red X, and when hover over it, the text says "No Audio Output Device is installed". (The previous operating system was XP-Pro, 32-bit).
Have tried the driver update --SP30399.exe for the Conexant. Scan shows no audio device at all, but no hardware has been changed. Suggestions?
Thanks,KBos

Hello KBos,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you've upgraded the OS to Windows Vista from XP. That now you're having an Audio issue. I will try to help you with this.
The driver update that you've run, was for XP. This could be why it never helped. On the HP site, there's no Audio Driver update for Windows.
You can take a look at the following documents to see if what they suggest can help you with resolving the issue.

Please let me know if this is able to help you out. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

External HD and Destructive Audio Editing

Howdy, Folks!
I'm planning on utilizing an external HD to house active LE7 projects. I also plan on having LE7 copy files into the project folder. I may have missed this in the volumes of text online and packaged with the software, but are destructive audio edits made to original files or copies of files located in project folders?
(I hope it's the file copies that get edited. This, and prevention of HD I/O contamination between writing audio and accessing the program itself, are the reasons I plan to use an external HD...)
Much thanks for the wisdom!

Given what I found in the Reference, I'd rather play it safe until I'm absolutely certain. That citation sounded to me as if it were not a copy. Looked as if it would require that extra step.
Then I tried this: I made a throwaway .aif speaking directly into my iBook mic and I put it on the desktop. I used LE's Audio window to select and open that file and place it into an arrange window. There I opened it and edited it substantially in the Sample Editor. That file -- in my .lso's audio window -- lost lots of weight, from 1.3MB down to 164kb. The original file remains on my desktop, still 1.3MB, waveform unaltered.
SO it looks as if the ORIGINAL file stays untouched. That does make sense -- it's reasonable -- but reasonable doesn't always win out, and at least until I know for sure, I'd always rather err on the conservative side.
Still, in case I've inadvertently left out a detail, or stated something inaccurately, I'd encourage you to try it out *for yourself* to be absolutely sure. A few minutes of preventive experimenting will help you learn best (as it did here for me).
best,
c

Care 2 share favorite audio editing tips (think Aphex, Squarepusher, B.T.)?

Anyone here do tons of constructive/destructive audio editing in Logic? I am determined to kick my Pro Tools habit and embrace Logic's audio mangling capabilities once and for all!
Any tips or shortcuts you can't live without would be much appreciated (especially from Pro Tools users who have learned to adapt without having 'tab to transients', 'Grid mode', etc.).
Gracias

Between your posts today I'd say the effects you want can be created pretty quickly with strip silence, divide multiple, AU hosting batch processor, EXS24. Kontakt is actually pretty quick at this becase it's got a built in ReCycler, then you can just throw the pitches and loops in whichever direction you want, just set the polyphony low (often mono) for alot of this. Logic doesn't really handle file based effects (then it was easy-like PT's AudioSuite). Lowering the Tempo in 2 and then recording, chopping and then flipping the tempo up is also good, set regions to auto xfade like 5ms. Alot can be done in the arrange, yes but the samplers should not be overlooked. Basically sound like you're going through 30 different sounds all at one as 1 instrument. I have set up templates with FX where sounds basically "reproduce", this is really easy in Logic. Record or setup sounds by some timebase, scribble some automation in for a few plugs, bounce, divide multiple, send through batch processor, load into sampler, it may not sound like much but you can make hundreds of unique sounds in a few minutes. All you have to do after that is listen and choose. But obviously you don't want to stop there so you can start drawing (honestly, I think the Matrix is where I'd do the arranging/sequencing-just load up a few samplers but for processing/chopping arrange is really fast). I even do this with guitar tracks. With your sample regions now in place you can just change the pitch on the sampler and set the loop values to musical and nonmusical values easily. The arrange is fine for placing but when you get into all the effecting it's handled better by a sampler, IMO. Logic can make easy work of the effecting, dicing, and sequencing. Export regions as audio files, and open in external sampe editor, EXS mapping 128 notes at once. ReCycle. Kontakt has alot of the stuff you want-it could replace ReCyle and EXS24, and it's got the script processor.

Audio editer

I am Looking for a freeware or shareware audio editer that I can put chapter markers in and it can split up into differant files. A standalone program whould work to. I have tryed almost everything out there. HELP!!!!!!

Hi, I made this silent movie to show you it works dragging voice files from iMovie to iTunes!
I did say the exported quicktime file would be a single file, and you can touch that up with Audacity.
Perhaps for more control you take each chapter from itunes into Audacity, do what tweaking you need to do and drag it into the correct place in iMovie timeline to end up with a continuos file.
Ideally iMovie should have the editing capabilities of Audacity but it doesnt.

I have a disconnect between my external hard drive and lightroom 5.6. The recommended steps do not connect 11000 photos on the hard drive. How can I connect? I am concerned I have lost my edits in lightroom.

I have a disconnect between my external hard drive and lightroom 5.6. The recommended steps do not connect 11000 photos on the hard drive. How can I connect? I am concerned I have lost my edits in lightroom.

after some sorting out your article, I clicked on a question mark with the message find the missing folder. This brought me to a page where I could choose a folder by year and click on it. The question marks disappeared and the photos were available. In some cases I had to click on the year folder for each subfolder by date.
The find missing folders message did not bring me to the finder window in which I could click on folders in the hard drive itself. I appreciate your help big time!!

We always like to know what solutions work. The other options that would cause problems include:
1. the file is either secured or a PDF/A
2. you need to update Acrobat (Help>Updates)

"Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" is incompatitable [error message?]

I've got a frustrating problem that is screwing up my photoshop files. The problem starts
when I try to save my file (it has numerous layers) as a pdf. When I save my file as a pdf I get a pop up message saying "Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" is incompatitable with earlier versions of Phootshop. In earlier versions, you must open the PDF as a Generic PDF (not as a Photoshop PDF). Do you want to continue?"
When I click yes, it saves the file as a pdf. BUT when I go back to open my photoshop file, all of my layers have been merged, thus making my file worthless.
I realize I somehow must have changed a setting, but Im clueless to what it might have been. Has anyone ever come across this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Did you check the Layers option in the Save As dialog?

Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities

When saving out a PDF, unchecking the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checkbox results in a smaller file because it's not emedding "another copy" of all information that Illustrator would use to open the PDF if you tried to open the resultant PDF in Illustrator.
When saving out a PDF, unchecking the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checkbox the data in hidden layers is excluded from the file . . . right?
Now for my question: Then why does deleting hidden layers right before saving a PDF with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" unchecked result in an even smaller PDF?

Thanks for your response!
layers that you've deselected
I haven't "deselected" layers, I've deleted them, right before saving the PDF.
And you're right, it's when I delete hidden layers that contain raster bitmap information that I see an even further decrease in filesize.
But, when I DON'T delete layers with rasters in them and save out a PDF with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" turned OFF, leaving the hidden layers at the time of saving and then open the resultant PDF in Illustrator, the data in those layers hidden at the time of saving is NOT there - so then what downsampling? If supposedly downsampled rasters ARE NOT even saved in the non "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" PDF?

Audio edit not working. Can't cross fade

Suddenly when I attempt to select the end of one audio track and the beginning of the other, it does not become high lighted as usual and I can't apply a cross fade.
I never had this problem before and it suddenly appeared. If I double click I get an option for a Trim Edit, but that is not what I want to do.
How can I simply click on the audio edit and apply the audio cross fade??
Thanks!!

In FCP, go to the menu Sequence > Render and make sure all the conditions are checked.
Do the same for Render All:

I I keep gettKeep getting "Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" Error

I purchased this resume template online and had no problems saving it as a Photoshop PDF file with the original file.
But once I made my own changes to the resume template, as seen below I kept getting the "I keep getting the error "Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" is incompatitable with earlier versions of Phootshop. In earlier versions, you must open the PDF as a Generic PDF (not as a Photoshop PDF)" whenever I save my file as a Photoshop PDF.
I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Macbook Retina Display. I made sure I checked the "Layers" in the "Saved As" dialog, so not sure why its causing my Photoshop PDF files to look faint.
I've had friends open the PDF in their computers and they see the same problem, so I'm sure it has nothing to do with my computer. I feel it has to do with a layer or my settings, but have no idea what is causing this issue. Please help!

You seem to have two different issues.
I kept getting the "I keep getting the error "Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" is incompatitable with earlier versions of Phootshop.
So save a psd and turn off the »Preserve …« checkbox in the pdf dialog when a saving a pdf copy off of that.
Please consider the distinction between »error« and »alert«.
why its causing my Photoshop PDF files to look faint.
I think the issue of faulty font display in pdfs created with Photoshop CS6 has been reported multiple times, but I can’t remember any conclusive solution (converting to shape layers would result in unsearchable text); you may want to do a Forum search.
