.mfx audio & video appear only in video timeline - fix?

When I import .mxf files (1080x1920 30p, 100Mbps, Long GOP) into PPCS5, invariably
both the audio and video appear only in the video timeline, as one bar - therefore impossible
to edit audio (except very awkward and incomplete workaround by partially editing audio
in Soundbooth CS5). Others with similar sources, computer, software, etc., do not have
this problem (yes, we all so far have Adobe CS5 bug which causes one of two audio
channels to lag the other). Am running on validly tested and very powerful BOXX 4850,
WIN 7 Ultimate OS, with one of the Adobe qualified video cards - amazingly fast.
Exactly same bizarre behaviour shows up on same machine when running Vista Ultimate OS,
PPCS4, with enabling MainConcept plug-in to handle high data rate in PPCS4.
When the .mxf files are brought into Sony Vegas Pro 8, all editing (and laboriously slow export)
is handled beautifully and perfectly, but having been an Adobe Editor for past 13 years, would
like to continue with Adobe!
Any thoughts of anyone (experienced or not!) would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you ALL! And goodnight. I checked, "yes, my question has been answered", by me, with your help!
<explitive deleated> Premiere CS5. Without going into the boring gory details, after quite a few up to 19
hour days trying to FIX, found out where the audio was in CS5 Premiere - I started adding additional audio
channels to the SEVEN (which I hadn't set up for that many) that popped up when I first loaded CS5 (there
were only the as normal three video channels in the timeline), and when I added AUDIO TRACK 9, THERE
WAS THE AUDIO TIMELINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I uninstalled CS5 Production Premium and
Sony Vegas Pro 8; CS5 was uninstalled because Adobe evidently doesn't feel that the fix of one audio channel
lagging the other with this kind of data is very important. I installed Production Premium CS4 and the Main Concept Plug In to permit import
and edit of the nanoFlash files (1080x1920 30p, 100Mbps, long GOP), updated, blah, blah, and loaded
Premiere CS4 - and THERE in the timeline, 3 tracks of empty video, and NINE tracks of empty audio, and I then imported
some files, dragged them to the timeline, and in video track 1 was the video, and IN AUDIO TRACK 9 WAS
THE AUDIO, fully available for edit.
Thank you again, it was in particular the query above re default source channel, etc.(which I had checked TWICE,
based on the suggestion, even though I KNEW that couldn't be the issue - but it was that query in particular
that led to me adding the described additional audio channels and finding the blasted hidden audio.
I have run into some bizarre issues, as haven't we all, but never anything like this. Now I can finally
get on with my life and begin to respond to the outrage of some of my delayed customer production.

ITunes/QT/Audio/Video Stuttering Fixed!

The problem is with QuickTime and the fix is to downgrade your version of QT.
1) Download Pacifist to your Desktop.
2) Download the Quicktime 7.3.1 installer from Apple downloads to your Desktop.
3) Double-click the Pacifist dmg and install Pacifist.
4) Open Pacifist. Click 'Open Package' and navigate to the Quicktime 7.3.1 installer dmg on your Desktop.
5) Once the package is open, click on the 7.3.1 installer package and click on 'Install' in Pacifist.
6) Making sure you 'Use Administrator Privileges,' answer all questions about replacing the exiting package and files in the affirmative.
7) Once Pacifist has finished, no more stuttering!

It's good that you found a solution, but since going back to iTunes 7.7 both my laptops stream music over airtunes without missing a single beat, no matter the CPU and network load. This tells me that there must be a problem with iTunes 8 as well.

Rotoscoping techniques: Frame Animation vs Video Timeline

Hi. I am using Photoshop CS6 and CC.
I am looking for an easy workflow for rotoscoping a video (for the purpose of drawing on it to create animated look)
and came across two different techniques for achieving the same purpose:
1. frame animation as explained here
2. Video Timeline as explained here
seems to me the first technique is much more error prone.
I am a bit confused on the proper use of those 2 features - when to use which
as I see it Frame animation is for:
1.making GIF'S from your current layer stack
2.scanning a drawing by hand element that is supposed to appear in a stop motion fashion.
and Video Timeline is for:
1.real editing with layers moving in different points in time (which really can't see why would you do that in photoshop instead of AE or Premiere)
2.cell animation with onion skin
2.making blank video layer over a real one and create a live drawing.
any Insights will be greatly appreciated

thanks for the reply JJ.
I think I have a better idea on what each tool is all about:
allow me to sum it up for anyone who will look at this and for me too.
this is a clarification of these different tools especially related to rotoscoping but not just.
contributions would be appreciated
Frame Animation
useful for controlling each specific frame in a sequence of animated frames.
in rotoscoping this is useful for instances where you want to work with many layers
thus preserving the capability to change your work with different layers containing different data.
for instance: hair, face, legs etc. like the following example here
also efficient in making GIF's like here
Advantages:
1. more layers - more control
2. easy to make GIFS by changing each layers transformations like here
or here and would be cumbersome to do in Video Timeline
Limitations:
1. layout requires a bit of getting used to for instance: seconds for each frame and not overall frame rate - you have to select all of them to change them globally (there is a panel option for that though)
and also each frame contains all of the layers with only the specific ones visible and position differently (like layer comps).
if you are not careful you could make a mess of things by changing visibility of the wrong layers or worse
so - order, color labeling and grouping is paramount. an example of a good workflow is here
2. you have to make your own shortcuts since next frame/previous frame/first frames don't have shortcuts.
3. there is no audio
Video Timeline
useful for "classic" video editing - you get a timeline with layers
that you can trim and make transitions.
great for drawing on video or classic drawn Cell animation.
you can also insert a blank video layer and draw on it.
as explained here
Advantages:
1. familiar timeline structure - easy to understand and not mess it up. you can change the framerate and work like a real video workflow.
2. great for rotoscoping on video - you could insert a blank video layer and draw frame by frame on the same layer making it easy.
3. great for cell animation because onion skin features are an option
4. keyboard shortcuts are a click way by changing the panel options to "enable timeline shortcut keys"
5. there is audio
Limitations:
1. not as efficient as Frame Animation for GIF animations or animation that requires a lot of layers or different kind of layers.

I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony PMW 320
When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?
I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

Audio/video chat works but audio only doesn't

Audio-video chats (both 2-way and one-way) work, but audio ONLY chats don't work (connection error). One machine is running 10.4.2 and the other 10.3.9. Doesn't seem like this would be a firewall or bandwidth issue if AV chats are working fine. Why would this happen?

I have the same issue, as well as the other iChat issues on other posts. When our offices (SF area & LA area, CA, US) were on 10.3.9, no problems with audio or video chats (we all have AIM screen names). Then the boss upgraded to 10.4.1. He could a/v chat with anyone inside our network and could video (with sound) with the other office, but not audio only. When he is at home he could a/v with anyone. We upgraded one more computer in our office to 10.4.1 and it was able to audio chat to other Tiger machines outside the office, but not Panther machines (can chat with anyone inside too). Now the boss and I have upgraded these same machines to 10.4.2 and the audio chat doesn't work outside the office anymore and we still can't chat with Panther machines outside the office.
Our office has Netopia Cayman 3546-002 ADSL Broadband Gateway on SBC Yahoo DSL at 4936 kbps down/493 kbps up. I called Netopia and had them help me open up the ports (I had them look at the apple tech document so they could help me get it right). It has NAT enabled and all the computers on this LAN have static addresses. Most of the computers access the LAN through the airport express (which just bounces the signal from the wired side). I think we have port forwarding or mapping set up for our two servers...the router looks at the address from the WAN side and routes it to the address on the LAN side. Firmware is up to date on the router.
I did not originally set up this network and have spent much time reading the user manual for the modem/router (it's a combo device) and trying suggestions here and from Level 2 at Apple. They say it is our network, but I don't know how to fix it.
I don't think this router has any UPnP capability, that I could find in the manual. Also what is SIP? I need a description of it or at least what that acronym stands for. Also, I've seen stuff about using the Terminal to change the telenet port. This routers telenet is set to 23, that should be fine for iChat, right? No conflict?
Please help this tortured soul!! Thanks.

How can i change the setting for audio-video for my face time to built in only so i can have my skype camera ?

Good evening,
The last few days my I lost the ability on Skype to be seen by the other party ... I can see them but they cannot see me. At the same time my Face Time sent me some messages error.
When I open my Skype and go to Preference and go to audio/video I see my image ... and when I go back to make a call the camera is off (no light). When I look at the bottom where I can have a drop down arrow I have Face Time (built in).
On my other Macpro (that work well) I have at the same place built-in only.
Cannot change anything on my MacBook air ... no drop in.
Please Help and thank you !

How can I display & split the audio & video from the same digitized clip?

I digitized a scene into iMovie that I edited on a professional system which I don't have access to anymore. The whole scene is 1 clip. Now I see a few tweaks that I want to make, so I was hoping to do them in iMovie.
I want to "pull up" the audio in one section - meaning I want to take cut about 20 frames of audio from the end of a shot, and then move all the other audio up to fill the hole. To compensate for the missing 20 frames, I'll cut video off the head of the next shot. Some call this prelapping. Some call it an L-cut. Some call it asymmetrical trimming. Either way, I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie.
My clip appears in the timeline as one track - a single track that contains the video and 2 audio tracks. How can I display the audio that's tied to the video on its own track? Then I think I could split audio & video wherever I wanted and trim things up - but I can't figure out how to do it.
Am I asking too much of this software?
BTW, I never see the option to "Split audio clip at playhead". I'm not displaying clip volume or waveforms. Choosing to display waveforms doesn't show me anything. Maybe iMovie thinks I'd only want to see waveforms of audio that isn't tied to my video-and-audio clips?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Jordon,
"Am I asking too much of this software?"
No, you're not.
You first want to select your clip(s) and choose Advanced>Extract Audio.
This will copy the audio from the video clip and place it on one of the two separate audio tracks while lowering the audio level to zero in the original video track.
You can now edit and move the audio independently of the video.
With the audio clip selected, you'll find you now have access to Edit>Split Selected Audio Clip at Playhead.

The big iChat problems. Audio/Video (now completely broken in 10.7.3), the "not-authorized" problem

So, I am running iChat on OS X Lion 10.7.3 on an early-2011 MBP 13'' . These problems have been here for a while, though (I got my comp with 10.7.0). I have AIM/GMail/Yahoo connected..
One problem is the issue of non-authorized people. There is a list of "not authorized" people that I have to scroll past in my "offline" section of iChat buddies before I actually get to the real offline contacts. Big note here: All these people have the address (something)@aol.com. These contacts have come up as a result of my gmail connection. You see, a few months ago Gmail and AIM did this chat unification process where @aol.com contacts can be just added into Gmail for chatting. These @aol.com copies come up asking for an invite when the REAL AIM address person talks to me. The invites leave once I press decline, but then they stay on my list as not authorized. If I delete these "not-authorized" copies, the invites will come up again and the cycle will repeat. It is a nuisance considering how much of these false contacts are on my list.
Second problem is video/audio chat in general. This issue really applies on AIM/Yahoo—there is nothing for Gmail because people usually use the web interface which simply doesn't work with iChat video/audio. If the people used Google talk, the issue written below would probably come up.
See, what happens is that…(now in 10.7.3), video/audio chat is simply broken, simple as that. My contacts always tell me that an error has occurred when trying to accept my video chat invite. It simply doesn't work. They are using AIM desktop in most cases. When it DID used to work (to a very limited extent, I'll say; it was hit or miss earlier pre 10.7.3, now it's just miss), it was just video but NO audio. They could see/hear me, I could only see them. When I did audio chats, they hear me, I..don't hear them (so audio chats were pointless). The only case where this problem doesn't happen is where it's Mac to Mac, iChat to iChat. VERY limited in use of audio/video chat, if you ask me.

Hi,
If AIM contacts have been added to your Google Buddy List then I would login to Google and remove them from there (the iGoogle or GoogleMail web pages will show the Chat option)
Whilst they are still in the List then the Authorization request will probably be resent (In this case it is probably being generated by the method Google are using to add the AIM names as iChat only sends it once).
Google/Jabber Video chats is only iChat to iChat and so is Yahoo with iChat 6.
The Yahoo App streams Video which People can be allowed to see and Audio is added in as an Audio Chat.
The connection Process is not the same and iChat/AIM
Jabber and Google use Jingle to Connect (in fact Google's version is not that compatible with other Jabber apps).
This means iChat to the Standalone PC app or any Web Browser using the Google Video Plug-in (PC or Mac) or to any Jabber app that is using a Google ID (or a Jabber ID) will not work.
On the iChat to AIM on a PC.
This has always been a bit of a hit and miss affair.
Some people have no trouble but other spend ages trying to set things up and never find the solution.
This is the Original Users Tip (up to about AIM5.9)
A "replacement" for that tip that has not made it across yet.
I have yet to try Video to the Web Login version that is now on offer.
However I would limit the Bandwidth in iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section to 500kbps (possibly try 200kbps for 1-1 chats) as you will not know the interent speed available to the Buddy if they are using the web login.
Comparisons
When you compare iChat actual functions to what you would like it to do it can appear to be limited.
On the basis that you would want your IM app to be able to have Buddies from other services listed in a Buddy list (combined) or Lists which apps do you know of can do that and Video to some of them ?
Adium and ProteusX can both have Buddies from the major Services ina Buddy List but don't do Audio or Video.
Yahoo and MSN both allow the other's Buddies in the list but I am not sure about Video or Audio chats
They cannot connect to Jabber or AIM buddies even for text chats.
Jabber does depend on the server you use and whether that does Transports for you to have text chats with other services.
Instructions for iChat.
Mercury IM is a JAVA version of MSN and still has not got to Audio and Video
Similar for aMSN
Gizmo5 and YakforFree both died...
Skype is Cross Platform but is only 1-1 in Video chat. (cost extra for 3 and 4 way chats)
Yahoo had dropped support for their Mac version now iChat has the Yahoo option (you can still download it - IT being the beta it has been for years).

Audio/Video sync drift in Premiere CS5.5, but not in CS6

I have a QuickTime file with the following specs:
Video: H.264, 854x480, 29.99fps
Audio: AAC, 44100 Hz
When I open the file in QT player, or in Adobe Premiere CS6, there is no issue with Audio/Video sync.
However, when I import the file in Premiere CS 5.5, there is a drift in the Audio/Video sync.
Is there something I can do in Premiere CS 5.5 to avoid or fix the drift?
Thanks.

I had a similar problem and these are the steps I took to fix it.
First I deleted the files in "Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files" for the project in question. I reopened Premiere and it appeared that deleting those files didn't seem to do anything as everything in the project looked the same.
I then disconnected the drive with the footage on it and opened Premiere. When it asked where the footage was, I told it to Offline All. I then went into Preferences > Media and hit Clean for the Media Cache Database. This had to be done because it only cleans the cache for files that are no longer connected with the project (as noted above). I closed and reopened the project, selected everything in the Project window, right clicked and chose Relink Media. I located one file and it relinked the rest automatically.
Now, finally, Premiere is re-conforming all the audio. Hooray!

Audio/Video Out of Sync (PE 10)

I have read some posts regarding this, but they have not been helpful.
I recordered audio/video with an ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T in 720p .mp4 format.
When importing into Premiere Elements 10 on a Windows 7 (64bit) PC, the audio and video are sometimes out sync when editing, and when they are rendered to the final product, they are always out of sync.
I have tried changing to other formats (.avi), as some people stated that variable frame rate issues can come up when using a non-camcorder to record video, but the .avi actually made it worse, to the point that only the audio played.
I turned my PC off and on again, and killed all background actions on the PC. The video plays fine in Windows Media Player and VCPlayer.
If anyone has advice as to how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. I've spent 7 hours on this project, and am more frustrated than ever.
Thank you.

I have downloaded your AVCHD.mp4 video, checked its properties, and studied its performance in Premiee Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit from the point of view of import, playback of rendered Timeline in Edit Mode monitor, and playback of an AVCHD.mp4 export of that Timeline content. I stared into the monitor to watch the lip movements as the sound played back. In any of the following I have not observed any out of sync audio.
MediaInfo basic properties included
a. AVCHD video compression, frame size 1280 x 720 @ 15.119 progressive frames per second (variable frame rate with minimum = 13.501 and maximum at 18.793)
b. AAC audio, mono.
Premiere Elements 10 project preset that I used was
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p24
In Project media, Interpret Footage told me that it recognized a frame rate of 15.0710.
Rendered the Timeline content and watched the lip movement as I listened to the audio. No out of sync audio.
For export,
Share
Computer
AVCHD
Presets = MP4 HD720p24
under the Advanced Button/Video Tab, I set for 1220 x 720 @ 15 progressive frames per second. The export settings dialog under Advanced Button/Video Tab looked like the following
I watched the playback of this AVCHD.mp4 export and again did not observe any out of sync audio.
All video playbacks were with Windows Media Player 12.
Have you worked specifically with the video clip that you provided for download? If you have and you
found out of sync audio, then I am suspecting that this might be a system rather than a video problem.
It is a way out stretch, but...there have been some strange display goings on with Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card drivers recently. For all these cases, the answer has been rolling back the video card driver instead of the typical "making sure you have the latest version of the driver installed". What video card are you using in your computer?
Please review and then we can decide what next.

EMBDED AUDIO VIDEO WITH 5.1 audio ON FCS 2

EMBDED AUDIO VIDEO WITH 5.1 ON FCS 2
DEAR MEMBERS
IAM USING INTEL MAC PRO MACHINE AND FCS 2 .
ON THE FCP 6 TRACKS OF AIFF AUDIO WITH VIDEO
I WANT TO CREATE EMBDED AUDIO VIDEO WITH 5.1 SORROUND IS IT POSSIBLE ?
with ucncompressed format i dont know how to export with comprerssor or sound track pro
WITH WITH THIS CONFIGURATION. HOW CAN WE DO IT. CAN U HELP US

FCP Does NOT do Surround Sound.
You will need to Edit your project as normal in FCP.
When you're edit is complete you will export your Audio to SoundTrack Pro where you will complete your Surround Sound Audio Mix.RightClick your Audio on the timeline > Send To Soundtrack
http://www.apple.com/es/finalcutstudio/soundtrackpro/sound.html
You can use Soundtrack Pro 2 to do audio mixing and panning for 5.1 surround sound, and then carry the resulting audio into FCP. However, you’ll need additional hardware (costing anywhere from $300 to $2,000) to get those six audio channels out to speakers—the Mac’s built-in digital audio optical port won’t suffice.
- People in this forum seem to hate it when I mention Vegas... but Vegas is the only NLE I know of that will mix your surround sound audio directly from the timeline.

.mfx audio & video appear only in video timeline - fix?
