Low and Un-Synced Audio from XL1

Hi, i have this strange problem with audio coming from my Canon XL1-S. When importing footage from my Canon that uses the on-board mic everything comes across perfectly. The problem is when I use any other audio source on my camera. I recorded a band playing using audio out from a mixing board into the rear RCA inputs. This video when i check it out through a monitor has great volume, excellent levels and is in sync, but importing is a different nightmare.
I first tried importing the footage using my Canon as the VTR with the video with 2 channel mono and it imported fine and synced up, but the levels were really low. I tried this on 2 different computers with different versions (4.5 and 5) of FCP, same result. Next i tried importing the video with stereo (with FCP 5) and the audio had great levels when i got it into the system, but the audio and video were out of sync. I opened the .mov files and they appeared to also have the problems in both instances. It appears that I'm doing something wrong with the capturing, but i cant figure it out.
This has been a nightmare for me, can anyone please help?

Hmm - I have an XL 1S, and I've never had this issue yet. What are your capture and device control presets?
To see if FCP is the culprit when capture issues arise, I like to do a quick capture in iMovie and then take a look at the captured media inside the iMovie project bundle (right-click on the project file, select 'show package contents' and navigate to the 'Media' folder). If you open the files captured by iMovie first in QuickTime, and - if OK - later in FCP, you can usually tell where the problem lies...
HTH,

  • In VB how do I pass my low and high limit results from a TestStand Step into the ResultList and how do I retrieve them from the same?

    I am retrieving high and low limits from step results in VB code that looks something like this:
    ' (This occurs while processing a UIMsg_Trace event)
    Set step = context.Sequence.GetStep(previousStepIndex, context.StepGroup)
    '(etc.)
    ' Get step limits for results
    Set oStepProperty = step.AsPropertyObject
    If oStepProperty.Exists("limits", 0&) Then
    dblLimitHigh = step.limits.high
    dblLimitLow = step.limits.low
    '(etc.)
    So far, so good. I can see these results in
    VB debug mode.
    Immediately after this is where I try to put the limits into the results list:
    'Add Limits to results
    call mCurrentExecution.AddExtraResult("Step.Limits.High", "UpperLimit")
    call mCurrentExecution.AddExtraResult("Step.Limits.Low", "LowerLimit")
    (No apparent errors here while executing)
    But in another section of code when I try to extract the limits, I get some of the results, but I do not get any limits results.
    That section of code occurs while processing a UIMsg_EndExecution event and looks something like this:
    (misc declarations)
    'Get the size of the ResultList array
    Call oResultList.GetDimensions("", 0, sDummy, sDummy, iElements, eType)
    'Step through the ResultList array
    For iItem = 0 To iElements - 1
    Dim oResult As PropertyObject
    Set oResult = oResultList.GetPropertyObject("[" & CStr(iItem) & "]", 0)
    sMsg = "StepName = " & oResult.GetValString("TS.StepName", 0) & _
    ", Status = " & oResult.GetValString("Status", 0)
    If oResult.Exists("limits", 0&) Then
    Debug.Print "HighLimit: " & CStr(oResult.GetValNumber("Step.Limits.High", 0))
    Debug.Print "LowLimit: " & CStr(oResult.GetValNumber("Step.Limits.Low", 0))
    End If
    '(handle the results)
    Next iItem
    I can get the step name, I can get the status, but I can't get the limits. The "if" statement above which checks for "limits" never becomes true, because, apparently the limit results never made it to the results array.
    So, my question again is how can I pass the low and high limit results to the results list, and how can I retrieve the same from the results list?
    Thanks,
    Griff

    Griff,
    Hmmmm...
    I use this feature all the time and it works for me. The only real
    difference between the code you posted and what I do is that I don't
    retrieve a property object for each TestStand object, instead I pass the
    entire sequence context (of the process model) then retrieve a property
    object for the entire sequence context and use the full TestStand object
    path to reference sub-properties. For example, to access a step's
    ResultList property called "foo" I would use the path:
    "Locals.ResultList[0].TS.SequenceCall.ResultList[].Foo"
    My guess is the problem has something to do with the object from which
    you're retrieving the property object and/or the path used to obtain
    sub-properties from the object. You should be able to break-point in the
    TestStand sequence editor immediately after the test step in question
    executes, then see the extra results in the step's ResultList using the
    context viewer.
    For example, see the attached sequence file. The first step adds the extra
    result "Step.Limits" as "Limits", the second step is a Numeric Limit (which
    will have the step property of "Limits") test and the third step pops up a
    dialog if the Limits property is found in the Numeric Limit test's
    ResultList. In the Sequence Editor, try executing with the first step
    enalbled then again with the first step skipped and breakpoint on the third
    step. Use the context viewer to observe where the Limits property is added.
    That might help you narrow in on how to specify the property path to
    retrieve the value.
    If in your code, you see the extra results in the context viewer, then the
    problem lies in how you're trying to retrieve the property. If the extra
    results aren't there, then something is wrong in how you're specifying them,
    most likely a problem with the AddExtraResult call itself.
    One other thing to check... its hard to tell from the code you posted... but
    make sure you're calling AddExtraResult on the correct execution object and
    that you're calling AddExtraResult ~before~ executing the step you want the
    result to show up for. Another programmer here made the mistake of assuming
    he could call AddExtraResult ~after~ the step executed and TestStand would
    "back fill" previously executed steps. Thats not the case. Also, another
    mistake he made was expecting the extra results to appear for steps that did
    not contain the original step properties. For example, a string comparison
    step doesn't have a "Step.Limits.High" property, so if this property is
    called out explicitly in AddExtraResult, then the extra result won't appear
    in the string comparison's ResultList entry. Thats why you should simply
    specify "Step.Limits" to AddExtraResul so the Limits container (whose
    contents vary depending on the step type) will get copied to the ResultList
    regardless of the step type.
    I call AddExtraResult at the beginning of my process model, not in a UI
    message handler, so there may be some gotcha from calling it that way. If
    all else fails, try adding the AddExtraResult near the beginning of your
    process model and see if the extra results appear in each step's ResultList.
    Good luck,

  • How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

    Hi Life93,
    What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)

  • How to sync audio from recorder and video from DSLR?

    I have Adobe Premiere Elements 9.  How do I sync mp3 files recorded in a separate audio recorder (yamaha) and DSLR (Sony A7)?

    JayMisra108
    On what computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 9? And, please install the 9.0.1 Update if you have not already.
    Are you wanting to sync the audio to a video file from which its audio has been removed?
    If so, right click the Timeline video, and, from the pop up menu, select Delete Audio.
    Then import your .mp3 files to an audio file, and align them with the video file on the video track.
    For fine adjustments, as you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once. One tap = nudge of one frame.
    Or, as you hold down the Shift+Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once. One tap = nudge of 5 frames.
    Consider: Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and setting Display Format = Milliseconds.
    Please review. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Encore adds random static (Popping and Crackling) to audio from AVI files

    We spend the whole day today trying to debug this problem... any help would be greatly appreciated.
    We have a large conversion project where we are capturing VHS videos and converting them to DVD.
    For those that require chapters, we are using Encore CS4.
    All of the videos were captured the same way, in an AVI format.
    We have found that when we load them into an Encore CS4 timeline, we will hear random static sounds -- pops in the audio.
    We believe the AVI file is clean.  We can watch the video in Windows Media Player, and the audio is fine.  We can burn the AVI file to a DVD video using another low-end package (Power Director) and the DVD is fine.  The AVI files have been run on other systems, and the audio crackling sound does not present itself.
    But when we try to use Encore, some of the files exhibit the crackling sound.  (Note that not all of the files have this problem.  But those that do exhibit the problems will exhibit them every time.)
    We tried loading them into Premier -- same thing.
    So, this problem seems to be limited to Adobe tools.
    We are running Windows 7 on an Intel i7, ATI Radeon card... a really fast, strong, stable system.
    At this point we're not sure what to try...
    We have attempted to pre-encode them using Adobe Media Encoder.  Same results, regardless of which audio settings we try.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Syncing audio from camera to audio from a cd

    Is there anyway to easily sync the audio that was recorded from the video camera to an actual CD track. Obviously, it's the same song.
    Thanks!

    First resample the cd audio to 48k. There's a preset in compressor to do that.
    Was the video recorded to playback of the cd audio? If not, it won't be easy but it can be done. Post back if this is what you need to do and I'll try and help. Basically you will speed up or slow down the video in short sections to match the audio.

  • Transfer iTunes Library and iPhone Sync data from old iMac to new Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I bought a macbook pro in September last year, previous to this I had an iMac. This has all my music and iTunes stored on it.
    Is there a way to transfer my iTunes over to my new Macbook Pro and sync my iPhone as if my phone thinks it's the same computer, so I don't have to restore my phone or set it up as a new one.
    Thanks.

  • Newly installed Centro (from Treo) and cannot sync info from old Treo

    I just bought a new unlocked Centro and had a Palm Treo before that.  I just installed the Palm Desktop for the Centro but after I synced there are none of my old files from the Treo to my Centro.
    Please advise.
    Thanks!
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Unfortunately we are at a bad place palm desktop 6.2 is not going to be able to read those files that are in the handspring folder because of the file structure and the way things are set up in the new version of palm desktop as in. If you look at your data files before it was address.dat now it is address.mdb. Just renaming the files and moving them won't remedy the problem just make things worst. So we have a few things we can do however, both could be time consuming depending on your data and how much you have.
    So first thing is first and will probably be the simplest your Treo do you still have it and is the data still on it? If so you can just beam all yoru data from the device over to the Centro.
    If it is not post back and we can go through uninstalling palm desktop 6.2 reinstalling the older version, backing up your data, uninstalling the older version, reinstalling the new version, importing your data then syncing.

  • Imported dvd into premiere pro 2014 as a linked file with audio and video but audio from previous editing file is playing with video

    I am editing in premiere pro 2014 on a windows 8.1 system with 12 mega byes of ram.  I imported a dvd into premiere from a .f4v that was
    burned using freemakevideo converter.
    I imported the DVD into premiere and the audio that is playing is from an previous project I edited with the program, as oppose
    to, the audio that is linked with the video imported.
    Do you know why this is?  I cleaned my media cache and I rebooted my machine.  
    Please help

    Without knowing the specs of your videos it is hard to say. I'm also running a Mac and am having no such issues.
    My first thought is that you have something from a 3rd party installed that is causing conflicts. If all else fails try transcoding your mp4 files to a frame based codec using the Adobe Media Encoder. Pick one of the Apple production codecs or Jpeg compressed QuickTime.
    Are you running a ram preview? Did you render your Premiere timeline? Are you new to AE?

  • Just setting up my iphone 5, and its syncing everything from my previous iphone, except my photos and text messages. Ive been trying to fix this now for about 4-5 hours. Help!!!!!!

    So, I backed up my iphone 4. Set up my iphone 5, pressed sync and it did its job. However, its seems to have synced everything except my photos and text messages. Basically the most things I use on my phone! Ive searched for solutions all over the internet, tried them all and still no luck. this is driving me crazy, been working on it for hours now. someone please help!
    Much appreciated

    You do not sync text messages.
    Did you restore the iPhone 5 from a backup of your old phone?
    If not, do so to put everything back.  This is assuming you want/need you sms messages.
    Pictures should already be on the computer, then they can be synced to the device.

  • Apple TV and 5.1 audio from PPro 4.2

    Has anyone been able to get 5.1 audio working when Encoding for the Apple TV?
    I have no problem exporting 2 channel audio at the 960x540x30p or 1280x720x24p but would love know how to get 5.1 audio working. The ATV supports it.
    Anyone have any pointers/links?
    Thanks in advance
    Tom

    Tom,
    Thank you for the info on Apple TV. I have to admit that I had never heard of it before.
    Am I to infer from your post above that 5.1 audio on PPro CS4 (4.2)... I have the Creative Collection edition is "trial ware" only?
    That is correct. PrPro ships with the SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in encoder, but it is limited to 3 uses (unless that has changed). Once one has used it those initial 3 times, one cannot use it again. If they choose the DD 5.1 SS AC3 Export, they will be prompted to buy the plug-in. [Note: if one wishes to purchase the plug-in, Minnetonka, the distributor of the SurCode plug-in, offers a deal for Adobe users. It is available from the pop-up screen within PrPro. This will save money over going directly to Minnetonka Audio. Buy from within PrPro.] Also note that this IS a plug-in and all encoding can be done directly from within PrPro, unlike the two multi-channel types below.
    Now, both DTS and Pro Logic II are also available from Minnetonka Audio. They are separate encoders and are only available (now) as stand-alone programs. One can Export from PrPro, and then Import the Audio files into these programs, for full DTS, or Dolby Pro Logic II compliant files.
    Good luck,

  • Pops and clicks in audio from dock output

    When listening to my 8GB Nano via the headphone jack, the sound is perfect and free of problems. But when I connect to a dock device such as a Bose Sounddock or Tivoli iSongbook (both of which use the audio pass-through of the dock) I hear periodic pops and clicks, almost like a bad FM radio. The noises are random and not repeatable - sometimes several minutes will pass without any noises and then there will be 3 of them in a brief period. They are more noticeable on quieter material, not surprisingly.
    The exact same music files played on my old 3G iPod (15GB) through the same dock devices exhibit no unwanted noises at all.
    The only functional difference between these 2 iPods is that the old one will charge in the docks (it is the old Firewire-charging flavor) while of course the new Nano chromatic will not as it supports only USB charging. I understand this, but don't see why that should affect the audio.
    Anyone else notice this? Should I drop by my local Apple Store to see what they say??

  • DVD encoding using transcode results in out-of-sync audio

    I am trying to encode my DVDs for easy viewing on my computer. I am trying to do this with transcode, but I am having a few problems.
    Firstly, I use lsdvd and tccat to find and rip the desired content in raw form from the DVD to a VOB file. Once I have this raw data, I then encode the file to an AVI, using a command like:
    transcode -i <name>.vob -N 0x2000 -w 1000 --nice 10 -F mpeg4 -y ffmpeg,raw -o <name>.avi"
    Which compresses the video to mpeg4 with ffmpeg and copies the audio from the original as-is into the AVI file. However, when I watch the resulting movie, the audio runs slightly ahead of the video, so people's lips continue to move after they've finished speaking, just like in a badly-dubbed kung-fu flick!
    Another problem I've noticed (perhaps related?) is that despite the fact that the audio stream ought to be a bit-for-bit copy of the original, the bitrate is written as 128kb/s instead of 192kb/s like it should be. If the argument -b 192 is given then it fixes this problem, but the first problem is still present so it's not the cause of that.
    Encoding in mencoder using exactly the same technique works fine, but I hate mencoder and mplayer because they are both brain-dead and buggy. Mencoder won't detect half of the stuff it should, e.g. the aspect ratio, forcing me to look at every DVD I encode, read the aspect ratio and set it manually, which is just not on. I need to use transcode anyway to rip the DVD image, since mencoder claims that it can't acutally read the DVD half the time when everything else can, so if I can just get past this stupid problem then I will be happy.
    So, if anyone can help me figure out the problem here I'd be very grateful

    Argh! I never even noticed that option, despite having read the man page about 7 million times. Acidrip is not so great IMO, I think it uses MEncoder, so it suffers from the same problems I highlighted earlier, plus it is very crude and buggy. IIRC it also seems to be biased towards single-pass encoding, which is stupid because for a little more time you can get better quality with multi-pass as long as you're happy with running an encoding process in the background for a few hours (not such a big deal as long as you nice it down to a low priority)

  • Export my audio from iPod into organized folders with menaninful filenames

    Hello,
    I want to "export" my audio from the iPod to my hard drive. A mere copy-and-paste (or drag-and-drop) will not do because on my iPod, the music is scattered in special folders and have special names, thanks to iPod's special way of syncing. How can I export my stuff from iPod into nice human-workable folders and filenames, just as things were when I synced audio from my hard drive to the iPod?
    If you could recommend FREE software, I'd appreciate it.

    Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    (and I'm assuming here that "other OS" means Windows)
