Making a basic Video starting with sound files only

I'm totally new to Premiere and find it quite dauting. Basic tutorials don't really seem to be helping as they presume you start with a working video.
What I have is several 30-60 second .wav files which I need to be in sequence most of them also have associated GIF images to go with them.
I'd like to create a video which just plays the wav files and the the associated GIFs in sequence?
How do I go about doing this? Help much appreciated.

Before you add any Assets to a Video Track, it will be black, as there is nothing to show. However, that "empty" Video Track can be problematic with many Export options.
Instead, I would Import the Audio files, and drag each to the Timeline, where you want them. Note: a 1-channel (Mono) Clip will ONLY go on a 1-channel Audio Track, but if you do not have one, and need one, just drag that 1-channel Clip to the Master Audio Track. It will not go there, but PrPro will create the necessary 1-channel Audio Track, and put the Clip onto it. Same for 2-channel (Stereo).
When you have your Audio Tracks in place, go to the New icon at the bottom of your Project Panel, and click on that. From the drop-down, choose Black Video. When created, just drag that to say Video Track 1. It will probably be only 05 sec. long (the default), but just click+drag on the Tail of that Black Video Clip, to drag its Duration to match the Duration of the entire Audio Track(s).
Then, Import the graphic Images. Drag each to say Video Track 2, above that Black Video. Adjust each Image's Duration, as needed. If required, you can adjust the Fixed Effects>Motion>Scale, and Motion>Position, if needed. You can also Keyframe those Fixed Effects, if you wish to animate them over time, i.e. Pan, and/or Zoom.
Done.
Good luck,

Getting started with Sound

Hello everybody,
I am new to working with sound on JAVA, though I am not new to Java programming in general.
I am having trouble finding a place to start with a (I think...) simple problem:
I want to implement the following functionality:
1) Load an audio file from disc in one of the three formats *.wav, *.aiff or *.mp3
2) Specify a start and end time (preferrably in milliseconds) and play the corresponding part of the sound file
My hope is that there is a ready-to-use class for this in Java 1.4., but I can't seem to find it. javax.sound.sampled.Clip seems to provide some of the things I am looking for, but it is an INTERFACE. Is there a class which IMPLEMENTS it?
Thanks for your help.
Thomas

Hi new Java developper in sound :),
Just to help you to begin, you have two different thing to work with sound on java.
- Javasound (javax.sound) include in the JDK1.4
- JMF (javax.media) download on the JMF home page
If you wanna do something very simple you can use the Javasound API. It'very easy to use and you can access easily to the data.
If you wanna support different format or implement effect or do something more powerful, you will need to use JMF (in fact this forum is here for that). I pretty sure that Javasound don't support mp3, so will need to use JMF.
Just for you to know, JMF use Javasound to render some sound format, so you can consider JMF like an new layer after Javasound. For the sun-ibm implementation.
I post already some code who do the job you need (I guess). It's was for video but it work also for sound.

Video started to sound awful when i've updated to iOS6, how can this be fix?

Hi,
Ever sine i've updated to iOS6 this October, the sound of my videos on my iPad started to sound awful. I'm using the default video player for iPad. It sounds like there's an echo, bass sounds has totally low quality and etc.
I tried removing the videos(music video) on my iPad then resync it but it still sounds different from before. I've tested the sounds in my mp3 (same song) still sounds as expected. So my sound setting and my headset are not defective.
Please teach me how can i fix this issue.
Thanks

What app are you using?
Do you get sound from the YourTube app
From other website?
I suspect a problem with the specific site you are using, not an iPod problem. Can you post a link to that site?

Memory leak in AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID with sound files

hi !
Instruments indicates a 64Ko memory leak in "AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID" when I use a sound that I have created with GBand / iTunes. When I use the sound file "tap.aif" from the "sysSound" sample, there is no memory leak.
What's wrong with my audio file ?
It's a AIFF file, 95Ko, 8 bit mono 22Khz @ 176kbps.
thanks...

appFile = [ [ NSBundle mainBundle ] pathForResource : _filename ofType : _extension ];
FileUrl = [ NSURL fileURLWithPath: appFile ];
if ( AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID( ( CFURLRef ) FileUrl, &soundID ) != kAudioServicesNoError )
return false;
I don't think the code is wrong because when I change the name of the sound in '_filename', there is no leak.
I haven't found in the documentation the audio file properties ( 8/16 bits, ... ) supported by 'AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID'.
The code is for iPhone.

Open Browser with sound file

I want to open a sound file from my index page that will
describe my sight and play while users explore the site. I have
tried to use behaviors which will open an HTML page but not an MP3
file - cant see why not. The other opens which were to make a link
to the file from index means that once the user switches to another
page the sound file gets lost.
Any help please

Start a sound file from pdf

Using an iPad, is it possible to play a sound file from a link on a pdf page? If so, is it also possible to stop the file playing when that pdf page is exited?
Or should I be trying to do this with some other application?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
John

Hi!!
I guess I had more or less the same problem. Actually, if you want to specify the jar's classpath, you have to put it in the manifest file, or not use the -jar option. Take a look at:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=22&thread=546391&tstart=0&trange=15
Once you have the command line, you can use Runtime.exec(...) to run your program.
I hope it helps...

Two-way video chat with other (audio-only) participants?

Is it possible to have a five-way chat in iChat with
. - myself and one other participant via video, and
. - three other participants via audio only?
I know there's an option for one-way video conferencing, where only one person in a conference has video and the other(s?) have audio, but what about two with video and the others with audio?
And if we did this, could the three audio participants see the two video participants even if the three don't participate via video?

Hi,
You can start A One Way Video chat with a Buddy without a Camera.
You can add others up to the standard 4 people (you and three others) and some can be audio Only.
You do have to have a Mac of a G4/1Ghz dual or above and have a Upload speed of 256 k at the very Least (Apple Specs say 384k) although more is preferable when you are Host.
Ideally the Host should be the fastest Mac with the fastest connection.
Invite Camera able Buddies first then Audio Only Buddies by clicking on the green A/V icon they are showing in the Buddy list.

Video doesn't play with .MOV files, only hear sound

I have Elements 9 and I just imported my photos and videos from my new camera - Panasonic Lumix DMC FH27 10 Zoom 16 megapix and when I played them in Elements 9 all I could hear is the sound, all conversation, but the video won't play, just a black screen. The file they trasfered with is MOV . I have Quickplayer installed on my computer already, the lastest version, I just updated. Any suggestions? Thank you so much.

Yes, it does. It just doesn't
play i n Elements 9.

IMac starts with sound but remains with Apple logo and the clock running indefinetely

After software upgrade ( from mavericks to new mavericks ) iMac doesn't start anymore. It remains always in the same mode: after the sound of start the Apple logo and the clock that runs indefinitely without the start of the software. Someone knows what to do?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Need help to start with some file and text manipulation

Hello script mavens,
I need help with starting a script that does the following:
-within a base folder it takes an inventory (list?) of all the files (which happen to be image files).
-creates a new folder inside the base folder and calls it imagesX where X increases by one every time the script is run
-moves all the files into the images folder
-within the base folder it creates a new text file and calls it imagesX.js
-writes a "//-" into imagesX.js
-then writes the list of filenames into the imagesX.js twice, separated by an empty line, and adds a semicolon to the end of each filename and saves imagesX.js
-from a folder a level above the base folder it copies a file called index.html into the base folder and renames in indexX.html
-in indexX.html it replaces a string "replaceThis" with "imagesX.js"
The task is more complex but this would help me tremendously do the rest.
If I am asking for too much on this forum please let me know

This should get you started.
The description of how you want to write the data isn't clear, but the rest should work (untested):
property imageNum : 0 -- last used ImageNumber
-- within a base folder it takes an inventory (list?) of all the files (which happen to be image files).
-- get the folder:
set baseFolder to (choose folder)
-- now get the files within it:
tell application "Finder"
set fileList to every file of folder baseFolder as alias list
end tell
--creates a new folder inside the base folder and calls it imagesX where X increases by one every time the script is run
tell application "Finder"
set imageNum to imageNum + 1
set newImageFolder to make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:"images" & imageNum}
-- moves all the files into the images folder
move every file of folder baseFolder to newImageFolder
--within the base folder it creates a new text file and calls it imagesX.js
set textFile to (open for access file (baseFolder as text) & "images" & imageNum & ".js" with write permission)
--writes a "//-" into imagesX.js
write "//-" to textFile
-- then writes the list of filenames into the imagesX.js twice, separated by an empty line, and adds a semicolon to the end of each filename and saves imagesX.js
-- need more info here
-- a blank line between each instance of the file name? or all file names, blank line, all file names again?
-- an example, please
close access textFile
--from a folder a level above the base folder it copies a file called index.html into the base folder
--and renames in indexX.html
--in indexX.html it replaces a string "replaceThis" with "imagesX.js"
-- the easiest way of doing this is to read the file and write a new copy with the changes - that's easier than changing it in situ:
set indexHTML to (read file "index.html" of folder (container of baseFolder))
set {oldTIDs, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, "replaceThis"}
set indexHTML to text items of indexHTML
set my text item delimiters to "imagesX.js"
set indexHTML to indexHTML as text
set my text item delimiters to oldTIDs
set indexFile to (open for access file ("index" & imageNum & ".html") with write permission)
write indexHTML to indexFile
close access indexFile
end tell

Starting with as files

hi, just the basics of placing code in an as file
i created a file, this is all the code in the file:
package something { public class some_class { } }
the file is called 'package_test.as'
now i create a new animation file, and in fort frame i place something like:
include "package_test.as"
import something.*
trace("done");
just the basics, create a class inside a packgage with a test clas, then try to recall it from another file. i get the next error:
1037: Packages cannot be nested
i mean, is pretty straight forward, just test the basics of placing code in a file and calling it from another file. it is not because the class is empty or has no constructor, i did this test because i had some code in some movies and i am trying to place them as part of a class, but i am failing in the basics so far. any pointers?

not sure about this; according to documentation, in a single as file can be defined more than one classes (unlike as2). also, i tried this:
1. i removed the package tag, so there was only the class defined there
after that it told me the public tag could be used only if defined inside a package, so i removed the public atribute for the class definition
2. i renamed the class so it would be the same as the file name, something like:
//package something {
class package_test {
this is the (whole) new content of the file
now i get this:
1131: Classes must not be nested.
there is only one class, named exactly as the file, so i guess this is not it, but tnx anyway

Music video, starting with music?

I am trying to make a music video for work. I have the song ready and have beat-marked some areas that I need to sync the video with. I am unable to lay the video out over the audio, however. It seems set up that you have to put the video down first, then the audio.
Is there a way to do it audio first, then video?

You can do audio first if you use beat markers. Otherwise, you must have at least a black background to put in audio.
Hear is a good tutorial on beat markers.

Ipod Video starts with apple icon, shows folder with warning sign and stops

Please help me if you know how to fix this i want to fix it before he notices. Also is tehre a specific way to get out of disk mode? PLEASE HELP!

You need to re-format the hard drive on the iPod. Not knowing which generation it is, I'll assume you're using USB. The procudure goes like this: first un-install both iTunes and any updater software you may have. Download the latest updater and run it first. Hopefully, the computer will recognize the iPod and you can proceed to re-format the iPod using the updater. Once that is done, disconnect the iPod. Now,install iTunes. Re-connect the iPod and iTunes will give the option of either synching automatically at that moment or not synching at all.

How may i forbidden that movies automatically start with sound when the mouse run on images

Every thing is in the title

It's rather unintuitive, but start a video playing and click the "shrink" icon in the on-screen control bar (right end, the two facing arrows) to reduce the playback from full screen down to a window. Then go to the View menu, select "video playback", and set it to "in iTunes Window" or "in separate window" as you prefer.
Regards.
