Multiple SWF import throwing audio off

I created seven separate SWF files in Captivate 3 that I want to compile into one video. I created the "player" shell with seven slides so I could insert the SWF file as an animation on each slide. When I insert the initial two files, the audio plays correctly, however, when I insert any additional files, the audio for later SWFs is played instead. All of the files are less than 5 MB, with most below 2 MB.
I would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,
Todd

Is there a way to export a FCP movie with multiple audio tracks? Example: If i have 3 audio track of stems (voice, music, sfx) I would love for them to exist as say different channels in one file This way down the line, say I want to remove the music, i can just turn off the channel. Or import the FCP movie into a sequence and have the three audio track mono, rather than a stereo mix-down.
I take it you're looking to export to a QT file, then yes, you can most definitely do just this. But first you need to setup your sequence correctly:
With the right Timeline open, go to Sequence Settings, then select the Audio Outputs tab
Change the output number from 2 to 4.
Adjust the available tracks' Grouping from stereo to dual mono (Very important!) then close out of Sequence Settings
Now - and this is the part I always forget - you'll need to actually route the tracks to those specific outputs. Right-click in the control area of the timeline (anywhere where you're not over a lozenge, lock or autoselect button) and make sure that the extra tracks (past 1-2) are routed to the correct output. That is, right click in the space to the left of A3 and in the shortcut menu, select Audio Outputs > 3. And so on.
Now, when you attempt to Export > QuickTime Movie using Current Settings, you'll get a 4 channel QT file. Unfortunately you can't do an odd number of channels (like 3) but most folks who do this do 6 channels (stereo pairs for dialogue, music and effects).

Importing video audio off

Hello,
I am using a Panasonic PV-GS320 as a camera and when I watch my tapes on the camera the audio is fine. I uploaded my first mini-dv tape and the audio is fine and then when I went to the second one (tape) the audio is delayed by about 5 seconds. How do I correct this?
Thanks

Problem with SWF export and audio looping

When I export from Keynote into SWF, I get an odd audio looping problem when playing the SWF files. Here's the workflow:
Create Keynote presentation (includes transitions typically, but also happens with presentations that don't).
Record audio using Audacity, convert using iTunes to MP3 in order to be able to export from Keynote to Flash (Keynote can't export WAV files).
Drop in MP3s onto slides. Sync up my transitions with audio.
Export Keynote file to SWF, including the audio.
Play SWF file either directly using Safari or when posted using Firefox. Audio plays, but a certain length into the audio the audio file seems to re-initiate and play over itself.
Anybody seen this? Anyone know how to solve it?
This is pretty critical for us (work related). We are using Keynote to create educational content SWF files, and we only discovered this problem after release.
Thanks for your help!

How does a pdf handle multiple SWFs at runtime?

If a pdf has multiple SWFs in it, that get turned on and off multiple times, does each one run in its own instance of the Flash Player?
If not, can they run separetely without problems?
Can one SWF run for a while and then another SWF run, followed by a return to the first SWF to resume part way through or does it start it off from frame 1 again?

When a Rich Media Annotation is activated it forms a new sandboxed instance of the FP runtime, so you can have several RMAs active at the same time without too many problems (aside from things like stealing focus from one another). They cannot see each other's libraries and you cannot share data directly between them as the LSO system is disabled, but basic string-form data can be tunneled via AcroJS if you know what you're doing.
When an RMA deactivates, everything is wiped - Acrobat / Reader do not automatically store any 'resume data' but you can create a home-made resume system by coding the SWF to export/import state information to the PDF. You would have to ensure everything needed to 'resume' is packaged into the state data string, then read and parse it each time the SWF loads. Again, that data packet is not visible to other content.

IE running under XP can't handle multiple SWF files, Why?

I noticed that IE 8 running under Windows XP cannot handle multiple swf files in one page.
Up to about 10 files is no problem they are loaded and we can play them ( buttons that start a small audio file).
But more of these files in one page will stop IE.
Firefox ( 3.6.28) runs them fine.
And also IE 8 and/or Firefox under Windows 7 handles them perfectly.
Has anyone any idea what can cause this and how to resolve this?
Thanks,

Sorry...I still don't get it. What is it about Windows FUS that keeps iTunes from running running the process twice? It can run many other non-Apple windows apps in multiple user sessions (commercial apps, open source apps, audio/video apps, networked apps). I can even run two different virtual machines at the same time under two different user sessions.
Why can iTunesHelper.exe run twice but iTunes.exe cannot? Why can I run Safari at the same time? Quicktime Player runs fine under multiple user sessions.
Blaming it on Windows and/or FUS sounds like FUD. Can anyone give a valid technical reason? Semaphores? Mutexes? An admission (and explanation) that the Windows version is purposely crippled?

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Premiere CC won't import AAC audio

I'm trying to loop two videos together in Premiere Pro CC 2014.1. One of the videos won't import the audio, just the video track. The audio is in AAC format, the video is a MPEG-4 movie with H.264 format. Every other video I've tried imports as usual, but for some reason the audio drops off on this one. The video plays just fine in Quicktime with the audio track. When I import it, the audio track drops off and only the video track shows up.
I didn't create the video, so I don't have access to the original working files. Anyone know any workarounds or fixes for this?
Thanks!

Thanks for responding, but I work for a very small company and since I'm the only one who needs CC, I have the personal version installed.
Also this appears to be a blanket issue with all audio and video file formats, thus not likely a codec issue since the files I've tried so far should be covered by premiere's compatibility, the even play in windows media player with no issue.
Video itself plays fine, but any audio attached to a video, or just plain audio files will not import no matter what I try.
Sorry my info didn't help.
Two things to try.
Create a brand new project and test if you can import the problematic files.
If that does not work, change the name of the folder that contains your media files. Then try to import.
Let us know what happens.

.AVI video not importing correctly. Imports as audio only.

System: window vista 64 bit
Project type: whatever the standard new project is at the startup screen
Problem: I am importing .avi video files and they are importing as audio only. it will not allow me to drag them into the video slot on the timeframe, and it displays only the speaker symbol in the media management area. Here's the funny bit. I used these files previously in another session June-July 2009, and they worked fine then. I am lost and need assistance!(PLEASE!!)
Stumped Like a Chump

If you look at the CODEC, it is Xvid, the opensource version of DivX, just as I suspected. These will almost never work in PrE. The best workflow is to go to before the Xvid compression (these are heavily compressed, loosing a ton of data and quality), or to convert them to DV-AVI Type II files with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. I use DigitalMedia Converter, but it is shareware. Many users sing the praises of the free Prism to do the conversions. I have never used it, but many here have, and give it very high marks.
Note: no conversion program can ever reclaim that lost data and quality. It is lost and gone forever. That is why my first option was to go back to before that compression was applied. However, conversion will yield files that can be edited with both Video and Audio.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] not sure why/how they were working before. Usually, with either the Xvid, or DivX CODEC's, one will get a Cannot Import error, or will get either Audio, or Video only. I have never been able to edit any Xvid, or DivX files, in either PrE, or PrPro - never even once. I just convert, if the client cannot get original source files, and I even have a quality loss diagram to show them how the footage will look - not very good, IMHO. I make them sign-off on that quality loss, before I start.

Using 1 movieclip in multiple swf's. possible?

Ls,
I was wondering if it is possible to have a movieclip that you can like export and then share in multiple .swf files.
This, without importing them from external libraries in the .fla files afcourse.
So like i have a movieclip containing different type tile bitmaps (i do that why im asking)
I use these tiles in the editor and in the game .swf;
Changing the(adding to) graphics has me importing the mc from from one .fla into the other.
Is it possible to make mc in a .fla, export it and dynamicly import it?
Or can I read the library from the other .fla dynamically?
Regards,
mac

So, and I'm asking not arguing, all i have to do is make a .swf with all my movieclips in there and no code.
correct, but you must assign a class to each movieclip in the swf's library that you want to use.
Then load the swf and use the assigned class in my code in different modules.
yes
Then, when adding graphics to the movieclips, i dont even have to recompile my code?
correct, any change to the graphics of your movieclips will be reflected in all the swf's that load that movieclip containing resource swf. no code needs to be redone or recompiled to reflect the graphic changes.

How do I import stereo audio as pan centered, "Dual Mono?"

Greetings,
For most of my video recording, I’m running two wireless mics and am recording in stereo.
90% of the time, I’m working with one track or the other and, because I’m cutting for broadcast news, the pan for the audio needs to be centered.
Is there a way to import the audio I recorded in stereo as Dual Mono with the pan for each channel center?
It’s a pain to have to go through each clip and make it Dual Mono and then chose Pan Mod Default to center it.
I bring in my video as indiviaual clips so I can’t select a single clip in the Event Panel and make my changes for the whole project.
Regards,
Steve

Select the clips in the event, and set the audio as [Dual] Mono!
There is, as I remember, no option for this during import - but you can select multiple clips and set it on all at once.

Incomplete swf import

Hi.im trying to import swf files produced by an external party into an existing captivate project. There are 3 files varying in length from 3-5 minutes. On each attempt to import the files captivate seems to import successfully, but when viewing the file in capticate edit or preview mode the swf has been cut off and is only approx 70% of the original.
So for example the first 5 minute swf (in original form) is now only 3 or so minutes when imported viewed in captivate - with the end section cut off.
The files are basically powerpoint presentations converted into swf. I cant get the original ppt files.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Gav

I am having the same problem however the solution provided did not work for me.
I have inserrted an .swf file as an animation, when I play the slide the entire video plays (approx 45.5 seconds) . When I preview or publish the .swf is cut off around the 23 second mark.
Technical details:
Captivate 4

Suggestions?
Thanks!

AIR for IOS, ApplicationDomain problem: Error #2007: Parameter Possible symbol clash in multiple swf

I am exporting a game for IOS in Flash CS6.
I have isolated classes, except a framework for static utilities that do not clash, but I still get this message when exporting for IOS.
AIR for desktop, even with ApplicationDomain.currentDomain works and does not give any error. Same on android.
When I export the same exact project for IOS, it triggers that error randomly in different parts.
All related with a call to a method on superclass, the instantiation of an internal class, or of a Vector typed to a custom internal class.
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter Possible symbol clash in multiple swfs, abcenv must be non-null.
The line that triggers the error:
return new RouletteChoserItemDev(num, data);
Any help is appreciated.
UPDATE
I have changed the code into:
var item:RouletteChoserItemDev;
var MyClass:Class = RouletteChoserItemDev;
item = new MyClass(num, data);
Now I get this funny error:
Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert device.plugins.rouletteLobby::RouletteChoserItemDev@6284bc9 to .
Yes, cannot convert to ".", a dot!

*FOUND A SOLUTION*
The way ApplicationDomain.sameDomain works on Android and Desktop, and on IOS, IS DIFFERENT!!!
I probably have to file this under AIR bugs.
Anyway:
- In loaded SWFs, classes which are not already stored in parent SWF CANNOT be instantiated.
I.E.
var c:MyClass = new MyClass(); // Will not work
var c = new MyClass(); // Will not work
var c:MyClass = getDefinitionByName("fullpackage.MyClass"); // Will not work
var c = getDefinitionByName("fullpackage.MyClass"); // WORKS!!!!!
var c:DisplayItem = getDefinitionByName("fullpackage.MyClass"); // WORKS!!!!!
So, it seems that classes stored in local loaded SWF will not be accessible directly. Even though tracing it trace(MyClass) works well, the class cannot be used in code in any place. Variables cannot be typed, and class can only be instantiated with getDefinitionByName();
All this, is true ONLY on IOS, same exact project and settings, will not trigger any error in AIR for Desktop or for Android.
But since obviously we use the same codebase for all devices, this IOS *feature* has to guide the way we code, even though we break a few important OOP best practices.
Hope I spared someone else the 3 days including an entire weekend I had to invest to find this out.

Need help getting audio off of a dvd...

[You can skip this paragraph if you don't need the backstory.]
So, for several weeks I've been trying to get some audio off of a DVD of mine and into a simple mp3 file. A couple days ago I found and followed this guide, and thought I had succeeded. But after a while I realized that the file I got does not play nice with my handheld mp3 player, or mpd, or mplayer, or anything whatsoever that is not gstreamer-based. MPD goes especially berserk - after playing the file, it can no longer play anything else until I reboot (yes reboot - restarting mpd doesn't fix anything). I should also mention that I'm aware that the guide is not 100% correct; I followed the advice and corrections of some commentors there too.
Anyways, I guess I need to ask for help with this. How would you go about getting audio off of a DVD?
Last edited by fflarex (2008-07-19 01:26:01)

I usually use the following command to rip a music dvd to wav:
OUTPUTDIR="/Some/Rip/Dir"
TITLE=2
FIRST_CHAPTER=1
LAST_CHAPTER=13
CHAPTER=$FIRST_CHAPTER
AUDIO_ID=128
echo "Ripping Audio..."
while [ $CHAPTER -le $LAST_CHAPTER ]; do
let NO=$CHAPTER
mplayer -dvd-device /dev/dvd1 dvd://$TITLE -vo null -vc null -ao pcm:waveheader:file=$OUTPUTDIR/track$NO.wav -af lavcresample=44100 -aid $AUDIO_ID -chapter $CHAPTER-$CHAPTER
let CHAPTER=CHAPTER+1
done
Resampling to 44100 is important since most mp3 players cannot handle 48000.
Then I have another little script that converts it to flac, sets the correct tags, and finally converts the flac to oggs as well..

Import issues, Audio/video Unsynced

Having major import issues, audio and video won't play in sync. Working with MP4 and MXF on most recent version of Premiere CC. Everything plays fine in quicktime/vlc but goest haywire in premiere. Have been through tech support twice, updated drivers, cleared cache and Premiere still has trouble playing back video/audio in sync. Any idea what's going one? Our company recently switched to adobe for the supposed "ease" it handles different codecs and so far have had nothing but issues? Sorry if this is already addressed in one of the forms, am at my witts end now having lost multiple days trying to troubleshoot premiere.

Hi Adobe4,
Having major import issues, audio and video won't play in sync. Working with MP4 and MXF on most recent version of Premiere CC.
Sorry for this issue. Tell me, where did these files originate? From a video camera? Do they have a constant frame rate or a variable frame rate?
Thanks,
Kevin

Can I 'Rip' Audio Off a Clip in iMovie?

I'm a Mac and iMovie 'newbie', and am wondering if I'm able to pull the audio off of a clip that I have loaded into iMovie to use in another clip (i.e. I have a shot where I want/need the audio to lay-over another clip, but don't need the clip itself)?
If I can't do this in iMovie, does anyone know whether the capability exists in Final Cut Express?
Thanks kindly everyone!
John C

I am having a similar problem. I bought my Mac a few months ago and am just getting into using imovie. I think it's great but I really want to detach my audio from a video I just made so I can import it into Garageband but the detach audio function is gray on my edit droptab along with some other functions. Do I need to buy another version of imovie for this feature to work seeing as how I'm using the version that came standard with my computer, or am I just not doing the operation correctly?
