My audio files are mixed in STEREO but when exported they come out MONO ?

I'm working on a music video project and have been sent AIF files that are in stereo.
However, when they are imported into FCP, they seem to be coming out to mono. I don't do anyhing to the file other than import and synch up to the video.
I'm not as well versed in the audio world, am I not doing something to the file or in the import process that is making it play in mono instead of stereo?
Thanks!

it might be just your sequence settings need changing
select your sequenec and press Command-0 (zero)
then switch to the Audio Outputs tab
if the Grouping is set to Dual Mono, then you can change it to Stereo and click Ok
see if it works

  • HT201272 frustrated! I bought music off my iphone & now trying to get it on my computer.  I see it under purchased and the files are on my computer but when I go to add folder or file to library, it doesn't recognize it or add the songs to my librarby.  H

    I don't understand what I am doing wrong.  Bought music straight off my phone.  When I log on my computer, I see it under purchased items.  I downloaded them to my computer and see the files with all my other music.  However, when I go to file, add folder to library...it doesn't do anything and the songs won't add to m library.  ????

  • Imported audio files are repeating same audio on objects in a slide

    Hi
    I can't find anything here that mentions the problem I am having.
    I am using Captivate 4. And Neospeechs desktop VoiceText program to record audio files outside of Captivate. They are saved as WAV files, then I import the audio into Captivate.
    I have various objects on a slide. For example, I have six text Rollover Captions. When you roll over them, some text is displayed. I have attached my audio files to these rollover objects. So, I would have audio1.wav, audio2.wav, audio3.wav etc and these play when you roll over the captions.
    The issue I am having, is that when I Publish or Preview the project, sometimes the wrong audio file is playing upon rollover. Usually the first couple of caption/file combinations will work, so I get audio1.wav for caption1 and audio2.wav for caption2, but then say for captions 3,4,5,6 I am still getting audio1.wav playing!
    I have doubled checked everything and the correct audio files are attached to the captions. And they all play correctly in Edit view.
    I've just noticed this has happened again in a different Captivate 4 project, where I have about 6 lines of Text Animation, with an audio file for each text animation. They have been distributed across the timeline so that the text animations do not overlap, and yet I am still hearing imported audio files repeated.
    If anyone can help to shed any light on this, i'd be grateful, as I'm totally stumped!
    thanks

  • IMovie audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !

    iMovie 11  audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !
    I have created a project where I have a montage of photos and video clips edited together with music under. Some audio portions of the video files are being muted in some areas and those portions are being heard in another part of the project. This is not for all video clips only certain ones.
    The project plays fine in the timeline, but when I render the project thru iTunes or Media Browser, this is when the project goes corrupt.
    I tried detaching the Audio from the video clips and this somewhat worked, but the original problem still exists with certain audio still being heard where it's not supposed to be.

    I have a fix - or rather, a workaround.
    WARNING: It is lengthy, but still far better than starting a new project from scratch.
    I had this same issue and none of my transitions/clips were at custom speeds, nor did I have anything else weird going on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do within iMovie to fix this, at least there wasn't for me. iMovie is BY FAR the buggiest software I have ever used and if you haven't already spent hours slaving away on a project, you are so much better off using just about anything else to edit your video.
    ...But let's assume you have already spent many hours working on your project and you don't want to start all over. Well then, you have at least one option.
    It's a pain in the neck, but it's infinitely better than restarting your project from scratch.
    This will require:
    A software called Soundflower (which is free) and some kind of audio editing software (I use Logic, but really any should work).
    1.) You're going to need to export your video with the messed up audio. Typically if you're audio is messing up, you're video is at least usually working just fine (at least it always does for me).
    2.) You're going to need to open that video in your audio software and import only the audio. If your software doesn't give you this option, then you're going to need to record the audio from your video using the audio software and Soundflower. You can find tutorials on how to do this, but it's honestly pretty straightforward once you start playing around with you Mac's audio I/O settings. Remember to have your computer's volume all the way up when doing this.
    3.) Watch/listen to your video and make notes of where the audio errors occur. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND writing down times too,  as they will be extremely helpful later.
    4.) Now were going to rip some working audio from the iMovie project itself. Go back into your iMovie project and only play back audio while in the edit window for this step. Do NOT play your project back in full screen.
    This part is key: if you try to play back your project from the beginning the audio will usually still mess up. So, what you're gonna have to do is go back on your edit window timeline right before these errors occur and play that specific clip back while recording this working audio with Soundflower and your audio software. Essentially we're only recording the parts of the audio where these errors occur, so try to do this in order if you can. Try to leave several seconds of audio in before the error - that way we can use it as reference when we construct our new audio track.
    5.) Now in your audio software you should have your original error-filled audio track and the new clips that we just captured. This part can be painstaking if you're not familiar with audio editing softwares, but as you'll learn, it's really not that hard.
    You're going to look at your original audio track and compare it to your new working audio clips. You should be able to notice where those new clips are supposed to go by looking at the identical (or close to identical) waveform shapes in your original audio track. The two should correspond with one another. If you don't understand what I mean right now, you will when you start playing around with the audio. This is why marking times is very important.
    Take your new clips and split them up if you haven't already, that way you can drag them around and edit them separately from one another. Essentially your going to line these new clips up with original and then replace the original parts with new ones.
    We need to get this as precise as possible, so start off by getting them as close as you can with your naked eye, and then use a zoom tool to zoom in as much as possible so that you can get them lined up PERFECTLY, or at least extremely close. In some softwares you can just drag these new clips on top of the old track, but most of the time you will need to actually cut out the old piece and replace it with the new one. In doing this, zoom in and make sure that you are NOT cutting out a bigger space than your new clip will fill - otherwise you will have small gaps in your audio.
    VERY IMPORTANT: Also make sure that this new audio track starts at the EXACT SAME time as your original - otherwise your new audio will be out of sync.
    I know this part can really suck if you're not used to audio editing, but at this point, there is little other choice.
    6.) Once you are done with this, export your newly pieced together audio track.
    7.) Now open iMovie and create a NEW project. Re-import the video that you exported earlier that has the messed up audio. This might take a while, so just be patient.
    8.) Then right click the clip and select "Detach Audio". This will do just that - allowing you to edit the audio separately from the video. Now delete this audio.
    9.) Now, import the new, perfect audio track that we just made and make sure that it starts at the start of the project. Make sure it's in sync and that everything works.
    Now just export your new video with the working audio and you should be done. Since we have given iMovie the audio with no editing actually being done in iMovie, it does not have to generate its own audio now and you should have absolutely no errors now - unless there is some that you forgot to take out earlier.
    YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!
    I know this entire process *****, but if you're that far into your project, there is little else that you can do. Now you've learned your lesson:
    DON'T USE IMOVIE EVER AGAIN.
    I hope this helped!

  • Audio files are there, but there is no sound.  Final Cut v1.0.1

    I have been working on a project in Final cut express v1.0.1 for a few days. At first, there were no problems with audio, then I tried to open the file on a friends machine using final cut 2 (my final cut program and scratch disc are on an external drive). I was prompted to update my project so it would be FC2 compatible and I chose not to. We were not able to view the project on my friend's machine. When I try to play the project now, there is no sound even though all audio files are in place.
    It might be worthwhile to note that before trying to view the project on my friend's machine I created a "final cut movie file" which will play with audio on either machine in Quicktime but not in Final cut.
    Any help or advice about what I should do to fix this would be much apreciated, Thanks.

  • Recorded audio files are gone after power outage during a concert

    Hello together,
    yesterday I used Logic Pro X to record a concert at our school. I had connected my MacBook Air to our mixer via FireWire, and everything went fine until two minutes before the concert's ending, the power went out. My MacBook was still working from battery, however, Logic Pro stopped recording and all recorded files except for one audio file are gone. I have already tried to recover the lost data by using a data recovery app, but it didn't find anything.
    Is there a way to recover the lost recordings? I mean, Logic must have written its audio files to the hard drive somewhere and even when everything crashed, I don't think the files got overwritten with zeros or something else that could have destroyed it...
    Many Regards,
    Leo Bernard

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • Issue where audio files are causing buffering in Adobe Presenter 9.0.2

    I have a module that I have published that the audio files are causing the playback to buffer at the end of the slides. I have unchecked Disable preloading of embedded Flash content, since I have seen that suggestion previously causing issues. I do not have videos in this module. It did this when I did a preview of my PowerPoint presentation. Thinking publishing could give me a possible different outcome once it was on the Connect server. However, the same issue occurs. I have tried copying the slides and placing them into a new presentation but that did not work as well, I had the same issue. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am at a holding point since I cannot make the course live if I know this is an issue on playback.

    Hi kornieme,
    Please package the published content using package option in presenter and put it in some drop box and send me the link..
    Thanks

  • Audio files are missing in iMovie HD 6

    I have 10.5 installed and was using iMovie 08. I was having problems exporting a movie, some of the clips were all black. So I downloaded iMovie 06 and all the iLife audio files are missing.
    They're still there in '08 but not '06. How do I get them in? Is there a way to import them?

    I have never used Screenium nor do I know anything about it, but iMovie 6 prefers footage in .dv format. You may have more success if you use Streamclip to convert the .mov to .dv before importing it into iMovie 6

  • Adobe Audition does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key.

    Adobe Audition CC does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key. It is after use audio hardware usb wi-fi headphone and return to build-it out. The program don't react now.
    I see problem:
    I am unable to get playback at all in CS6 on Mac. The play button or spacebar will not move the playhead or make sound come out of the foamy things with the magnets. The play button toggles back and forth between green and white, but it isn't working. This is true in both multi track and waveform view.
    Anyone have ideas on what the issue could be? Thanks!
    Some Info:
    MacBook Pro 2.2 i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
    Mac OS 10.8.3
    Audition CS6 5.0.2 Build 5
    and reply:
    Best bet would be to go into Preferences > Audio Hardware, verify your input and output devices are correct, and probably switch your Master Clock to the opposite setting.  If that fails, we can continue troubleshooting.
    I have the same problem as the author writes. But these actions do not help

    Unfortunately I believe that requires purchasing the new version, and I do
    not have budget approval for such a purchase.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • The files are ON the iPod, but I can't get at them

    I had my iPod plugged in overnight to charge, and Windows downloaded an update and automatically restarted itself. When I woke up, my iPod was telling me there were no files on it, and iTunes was telling me to reformat the iPod. This wouldn't be such a big deal, except that, like most people, half the stuff on my iPod isn't on my hard drive because my hard drive is too small.
    I've tried the free software that will let you transfer files from your iPod into iTunes, but because the files aren't showing up on the iPod, they're not working with those programs either.
    When I go into the actual disk drive through My Computer and read the BOOTEX text document, it says this:
    Checking file system on E:
    The type of the file system is FAT32.
    The volume is dirty.
    Volume Serial Number is 3141-5926
    Unrecoverable error in folder \iPod_Control.
    Convert folder to file (Y/N)? Yes
    Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)? Yes
    15072816 KB in 2801 recovered files.
    Windows has made corrections to the file system.
    77915440 KB total disk space.
    16 KB in 1 hidden files.
    160 KB in 5 folders.
    15072832 KB in 2803 files.

    16384 bytes in each allocation unit.
    4869715 total allocation units on disk.
    3927651 allocation units available on disk.
    So the files are still there somewhere -- but how do I get at them??
    I just want to move them onto my PC and then transfer them back to the iPod. Is this possible? From my investigations, it might have something to do the iPod_Control file, but I can't figure out how to open that.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi. The programs that transfer from the iPod to the PC generally rely on the folder structure being undamaged which sadly is not the case here. How many tracks were on your iPod? 2800 sounds a little shy if that's got to include all the artwork & other iPod control files. If you're lucky each recovered "lost chain" represents a single file. The trouble is working out what the fle type is. With a hex editor and a bit of detective work you could probably spot the diference between mp3 & aac files etc. If you give them the correct file extension they could then be imported into an iTunes libray set to consolidate tracks which would give them sensible filenames again. It might be possible, but it ain't going to be easy or quick....

    "My Mac was stopped suddenly by a power cut. Could this be relevant?"
    Sounds very relevant.
    Do you have access to another computer with Numbers installed?
    If so, do your files open properly on that computer?
    If so, then the problem is your computer itself, which is best posted in a different forum.

    My pc has crashed and lost a considerable amount of music and videos from iTunes the files are still in iTunes but are empty, will iTunes Match restore my content over the cloud?

    Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
    Quitting iTunes.
    Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
    Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
    Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
    So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
    Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)
