Missing Audio from FCP

I have a sequence that I'm sending to Soundtrack Pro from Final Cut Pro. It sends and opens but I notice that there is audio missing from sections where I have .motn elements in my timeline. The audio is there in FCP...
Is there a solution to this?

Thank you Robert - that was the issue. The lack of underline on the .motn sequence gave it away!

Missing Audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro in Final Cut Studio 2

I've been trying to edit a sequence from Final Cut Pro 6 in Soundtrack 2 by sending the sequence to soundtrack as a multitrack project. For some reason, when I send it, multiple audio files from the original sequence are completely missing, and I have no clue why. They're .mov files from the original import of footage.
Anyone know why these don't transfer and how to fix it?

Hi
I too have had trouble with Audio from FCP 6 messing up in STP 2. My opinion is that the process works if the audio tracks in FCP are either Mono sourced or stereo sourced and are never relinked, split to mono (in the case of stereo files) in FCP during editing. God forbid you unpair a stereo track and delete one channel!
Once in STP I have had occasions where non audio appears, the wrong track appears... or sometimes the wrong audio!
Once in a while double clicking on the offending clip in STP to open it in a Wave window seems to show the right audio. Either saving it of closing the window ( command/w) restores the right material to the clip in STP.
You could right click on the audio in FCP and "send to STP Audio Project". Hopefully the correct audio is opened in STP. Then save it. Now re-export the Multitrack project and see if the audio makes the trip.
Or, you could export the Audio directly from FCP, then import it into STP and position it against the video manually.
One warning : once things start going pear shaped in the FCP-STP workflow, it's my experience that I'm fighting problems all the way. It's why I don't use STP for FCP mixing .... I want to, but its too risky.
I hope V3 is better.

Problems outputing audio from FCP into a mini dv

hi there
i'm trying to output a video with 2 diferrent audio channels into a minin dv through a camera. everything is fine during output but when i check the tape the audio skips and sometimes sounds a little bit squeaking. i exported everything as .mov and imported back into FCP. so im outputting everything already rendered.
does any one have an idea why this is happening?
thank you.

Could definitely be a problem with the camera, but... the most obvious thing is that your output from fcp doesn't match the format on the camera. Make sure that both are set to 48k 16 bit and that your camera is recording SP.

Help!! Importing audio from FCP

Hi, I have final cut studio 5 and the problem i have is sending from FCP to STP.
In the last project i put together i had recorded a lecture and the audio was fine when the lecturer was speaking, but when people asked questions the audio was very poor. As it was a lecture there was no need to edit it so i captured the whole 70min video file in 1 go. I then split the clip up using the blade tool so as that the questions people were asking were in seperate clips to the lecturer talking.
I then right clicked on a question clip and chose send to STP, it went in but it was the whole audio file from the lecture not just the 20 seconds that i wanted, is there any way i can do this?
Cheers for your help with this
Chris

Hi Chris,
Had the same problem. This happens because it is a reference clip in STP, always looking to the original media file. Doesn't matter if you cut it in parts in FCpro: it always shows the entire clip in STP. If the original mediafile is long it slows down everything in STP particularly with drawing the waveform
Solution: finilize your editing in FCpro so you are sure content and lenght are ok; than use the mediamanager to COPY the whole project using 'DELETE UNUSED MEDIA', add handle length etc.
If you send audio files from this new FCpro project to STP you can work with you 20 seconds audioclip
Hope this helps

Importing audio from FCP

Is there a way to import audio projects from FCP into logic keeping the automation that the video editor has made?
Is there a file format other than OMF that contains the automation. and can FCP export it and can logic read it?
Is there a 3rd party application that can convert?
Or do I have to go back to the bad old days of Pro Tools (or worse, Soundtrack "pro")? PT LE is limited for soundtrack production, isn't it?
Is there anyone doing serious audio post production on logic, and if so, how are the projects imported?

The problem with exporting to AIFF, is that you can't crossfade between your cuts, or normalize regions. Your just stuck with the FCP raw mix. This is OK if your cut is relatively simple and you've already crossfaded and blah, but if you've got all kinds of dynamics going on, and different types of recording, you're definitely going to want more control over the export.
The problem with OMF, is that it doesn't translate well into LP. This seems to be a regular thing coming up on threads, apparently it works better with other audio editors but not LP. I've found that despite specifying handles on my export, non appear thus making crossfading impossible, you just get the same glitches your trying to eliminate.
HOWEVER the great thing is that apple invented their own format XML, an apple interchangeable file format. If you import this to LP, you get REGIONS like in FCP that reference the original files on your HD, which means you can now CROSS FADE, and NORMALIZE.
That makes me happy. I like it.

Missing Audio from Quicktime Movie Export

I've exported a Quicktime movie from FCP 6.0.4. It's an infomercial show so the call-to-action is a nested sequence on the main sequence timeline. When playing the Quicktime movie, the audio drops off in several 2 second bursts right in the middle of the show during the call-to-action. When played directly from the timeline, the audio is there fine. Early in the show, the same call-to-action nested sequence does NOT drop the audio.
I dragged the audio clip to a new track (one track above) and then re-rendered and re-output to a Quicktime movie. The same audio drop occurred in the same place again. I then marked an In/Out just for that small segment in the timeline and re-output again to Quicktime and the audio is fine.
My final Quicktime movie size is 150 GB (gigs) because it is full HD, uncompressed, 8-bit 4:2:2, and 28:30 long.
I've had a HORRIFIC experience the past 3 months just getting files to render properly and stay connected. It baffles me why Apple is working on SO many bells and whistles for FCP without having mastered their basic file management. It makes me want to check into AVID to see if they can at least give us the basics competently.
Thanks for any advice on this - I'm going to try to render out now in smaller segments and then patch together. Sad...

Make sure you do an audio mixdown. The manual explains the process.

Can't export audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro

I'm running FCP 5.0.2 and have Soundtrack Pro 1.0. I'm trying to export audio tracks from a long FCP project I'm working on to ST Pro to clean them up. As shown in Apple's online demo videos, I want to export an audio track and then remove 'pops' and do noise reduction, etc. In FCP I right click the audio track I want and go down to 'Send To' but the option for "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" is grayed out and I can't click it.
If I unlink the tracks and then right click the audio track and 'Send To', the "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" isn't grayed out and looks like it would work. But that is only highlighting one audio track, not the other stereo track and not the video track. In the demo video all three were highlighted but when I relink all tracks and try to 'Send To' I get the grayed out "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" again.
Is there something I need to do or a step I'm missing.

You might be onto something Randy. I noticed in the Timeline if I tried to send an imported .AIF music clip to 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project' it would allow it and the option wasn't grayed out. So I looked in my Browser window and checked out the file attributes to every clip which are listed to the right of the names. Sure enough, under the AUDIO column the .AIF music files are listed as '1 Stereo' and the rest of my captured video clips are listed in the AUDIO column as '2 Mono'.
So was there a setting for me to choose during Log and Capture that would have made them '1 Stereo' as opposed to '2 Mono'? Or is this a preference setting somewhere to change that for next time? They were recorded on my camera in stereo I'm pretty sure.
Now in terms of the massive project I've already captured and edited, should I be able to export these mono tracks individualy and fix them as needed? When I click the 'Send to' 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project File' for these single mono tracks it asks me to 'Save' the file somewhere, is there a proper place to do this or just anywhere on the HD?
Thanks

Logic missing audio from .band/media file?!

I recently tidied a folder in which my bands recordings are stored. Having moved to Logic Pro at the start of the year I deleted the original Garageband files from which some of the logic projects must have been originally imported from. Is there any way to recover these audio files? Sadly I had already emptied my trash before I realised the grievousness of my error.
Any help at all would be seriously appreciated as this is over 9 months work which has gone missing!

Without knowing which version of Logic you are using, it's hard to say but assuming you are using Logic Pro 9
You can try two things...
1) Go to the Logic Pro Menu bar... Click on Logic Pro and choose Download additional Content
2) Re-install Garageband.....
Reindex your loops in Logic after doing either of these things... and then test.
If that doesn't work after trying both methods, reindex GB's loops if you tried the reinstall GB route.. and then test in Logic again.
Once you have done all of these two things (or just #1) i would also suggest you reindex Spotlight if the missing files do not appear automatically in Logic's projects..
http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/17/rebuild-spotlight-index/
Finally as a tip:
You need to start making backups and frankly Time Machine with an external HD is probably the quickest and easiest (and cheapest) way of doing this.. Then, if you ever delete files accidentally again, it is easy to find those files and restore them using the Time Machine interface.
Hope this helps..

Missing audio from iPhone videos?

Some videos on my iphone are missing the audio. They used to have audio, but now when I play them back they are silent. The backup copies in iPhoto also have no sound. The videos are about 2 months old. I have done the update to IOS 7 recently, however the copies in iPhoto were done prior to this and also have no audio, so I doubt its an update thing. Is there anyway to retrieve the audio, and what would make random videos on my phone lose the audio?

Hello SebastianTroen,
It sounds like you are seeing these performance issues persist between 2 different versions of the Apple TV. I would recommend that you use these troubleshooting steps from the following article, as it should help you resolve the issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
Try the following suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Missing audio from DVD import

Need abit of advise,
Importing a VOB file from a DVD movie which is playing
to sound allright in QT but the audio does not follow
the movie in FCP. There appears no audio files in the
audio folder on the DVD at all.
Is there a special way to import vob movie files into
FCP pretaining the audio files or it is done differently.
Cant find anything about it.
Many thanks any advise.

Sorry for the delay Tom. Properties for the .mov file I created and the original MPEG file are both the same...Enabled is checked, Format is MPEG1 Muxed. I would have used whatever the defualt settings are for QTPro. Thanks for your help.

Missing audio from MPEG-2 file!

I attempted to capture some video from a Panasonic DV camera (firewire) and even with "Record Now", it would abort after a few seconds. I then imported the video on my PC using Pinnacle Studio 10 as a MPEG file, which worked, and it plays back fine with Quicktime. When I copied it through my network to the Mac, it would play OK in Quicktime, but when I imported it in FC Pro Studio and tried to drop it into the timeline, it did not detect that there was audio present. Since I can hear it through Quicktime, I am at a loss as to what to try next. Any thoughts?

Hi:
Just to check if it's something related with FCP or with a real mac compatibility. Just create a new project and try capturing. Read the help, it's pretty easy. If you can captyre with iMovie but cannot with FCP, that's a start for tracing the problem.

Missing audio from half my video clips

Hi guys, i'm young & new here so sorry if i'm not very technical. Here goes:
At college we had to film interviews with a range of students. We filmed with a stadard digital camcorder on two days:
* On the first day we filmed with the internal microphone from the camcorder.
* On the second day we filmed with an external microphone.
Upon importing the clips into iMovie, the first day's filming clips are fine but the second day's filming clips are completely without sound! At first I thought it was a microphone issue, but upon watching the playback on the camcorder (and hearing that the audio was perfectly fine there) I realised that this was not the case. My second guess was that it was the computer's fault. But by recieving the same result on two different Macs, I realised this was not the case either.
So my latest guess is that it might be an issue with iMovie. Now, I've tried it on iMovieHD AND the most recent iMovie (with the new format) but the same happens on both versions.
Does anyone have any ideas what has happened/what I might be able to do?
Many many many thanks,
Barney

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

PE 10 missing audio from *.avi files?

Hi,
New PE 10 installation. When I add a *.avi file to the timeline or sceneline, I am missing the audio tracks. Don't see the audio tracks. Even when I press the Play button above, there is only video and no audio. But in the Media section, when I select "Edit Original", the avi file plays with audio fine. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,

Direct audio from different applications to different output sources

Hi all.....I'm trying to play a movie in Quicktime on an external monitor while editing in Final Cut Pro. I want the audio from Quicktime to go through my external speakers (connected to the headphone jack) while having the audio from FCP go through the internal speakers on my laptop (Macbook Pro). That way my roommates can watch movies on my laptop through the external monitor while I'm editing, and not have to listen to my FCP audio in the background. Is there any way to do this?

I don't know if they will work, but try WireTap by Ambrosia or Audio Hijack Pro by Rogue Amoeba.

Exporting OMF's from FCP to Logic... errors

We are trying to export some long-format audio from FCP with the tracks intact to Logic 7.2.
We export the files just fine... however, Logic 7.2 keeps coming back with an "omf error 116 OMFI_ERR: null object not allowed"
We really need to use OMF if at all possible to save time and provide the audio files that the engineer needs. I realize we can do this by exporting separate AIFF files.. but what a pain in the rear that will be.

the whole support of exporting to OMF and AAF in logic is flakey at best.
chances are you have a blank region in your audio file list - or who knows? it might just be logic being stupid.
you might try exporting AAF as this is potentially more reliable. FCP, PT, and most avids will accept AAF, although i have had issues with this format using logic in the past as well.
