No Audio in Capture Preview Window

I don't have any audio while watching videos in the capture window BEFORE capturing them. I understand that FCE doesn't have audio DURING capture and the audio is there after it's captured, but I can't tell which video takes to capture without hearing the audio first before logging them for capture. When using FCP on my G5 I am able to hear the audio from the tapes prior to logging. Please advise. Thanks.

are you saying that this is just another thing that FCE doesn't do or is it a setting I need to fix?
It's, doesn't do.

Clearer capture preview window?

I would like to send a feed from my video mixer into final cut and use the capture preview window in final cut as my preview monitor. the problem is that the capture preview is staggered. Is there a way to get a higher quality capture preview?

Not sure if this will help, but instead of digitizing in FCP, try digitizing in Quicktime instead - Quicktime>File>New Movie Recording. You can set the codec in the preferences and the window seems to exhibit less artifacts than the capture window in FCP.
Once you are done, just import the quicktime you've made into FCP.
Hope this helps.

Audio in capture preview?

Imovie 8.0.6
Upon import there is no audio to preview while importing. This makes it difficult to know exactly when to stop and start the capture.
Somebody said the term skimming in one thread but I wasn't sure if that was the same issue? Is skimming the same as capturing and/or importing in Imovie terminology>?
Thanks for any pointers.

This is odd. Ever since I made this post I have been getting replies to my inbox for every single thread in the apple forums except this one. Did I accidentally check a box or something, and if so where do I turn that off?
Thanks

Capture preview window question.

With FCP 4.5 When you were capturing something you could switch to another program like after effects and all of Final cuts windows would be covered by the After Effects or whatever program you open. Now with FCP 5.0 The capture window is on top of everything. Is there a work around? This is a major slowdown to my workflow.
Thanks

I don't have that issue... but I'm using later version of v5...

Imovie 08 vs Imovie 09 Audio in Capture?

Still on Imovie 09, budgets are tight in many places and upgrades are hard to come by.
I'm having the same issue with Imovie 09 as this guy was in Imovie 08
https://discussions.apple.com/message/6688382?messageID=6688382
One guy "Winston Churchill" said it was not logical to hear the audio on capture anymore.
Several responses said that it made no sense to have no audio on capture (preview).
To those others I would agree. To Churchill I would ask, why would it be illogical to hear audio while capturing your footage?
You need to hear any audio drops, static hits on mics, speakers are better (hopefully) than they are on a person's camera, many people listen for audio cues while capturing.
Why is it "simply not logical anymore" to hear audio on capture?
I love Apple, but that does not mean I would defend a bad choice in a program just because it's from a company I prefer. We need audio preview man.
As for listening to it on the camera when I am capturing back, I'll have to do that. But it sure would be nice to have it in the program itself.

'capture' isn't real-time anymore (as was in iMHD6 + tape).
you can preview/'pre-hear' the clip in the capture window.
but no need to hear anything on import - would be silly fast.-
when the whole clip is imported and converted into editable format, you can hear, keyword, select and edit it ... or, as in the linked thread, use the audio only.

Getting the following message on Final Cut Express "audio only capture selected video preview disabled" how can I get the video capture back?

I'm getting the following message on screen when attempting to capture video "audio only capture selected, video preview disabled." How can I get the view preview back?

FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
Try trashing the FCE preferences.

Is there a way to capture video of what you do in preview window

i find it fascinating to toggle rapidly forth on a scene in the preview window.
is there any way that i could capture this rapid backwards and forwards movement on video?

If you upgrade to iLife 09, you can have fast motion, slow motion, reverse motion without any third party tools. [See this link for a screenshot and description|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#clip%20adjustments]
You could also use a screen capture application like Snapz Pro X, or similar.

Audio Disappeared in iMovie Event Preview Window

I've been using iMovie 09 for about 2 years with no major issues. Today I added some new clips, and for some reason I can no longer hear audio in ANY of my "events" in the preview window (or whatever it's called--I'm talking about the box where you look at your clips and decide which parts to add to your project). If I select a section and add it to a project, it plays fine (ie with audio) in the project window, but nada still in the preview window. Anyone know what's going on?

Are you able to check the Volume setting for those imported clips? I've had clips that I've dragged from the Event Library into a project suddenly lose their audio. When I looked at the audio waveform it was flat. But I could drag the volume up to get it back to 100% where it should have been when I dragged it originally.
Try this: Click on the clip in the Project time line, where the little 'gear' icon appears on the clip. From that pop-up menu choose Audio Adjustments:
You will see the iMovie Inspector window open with a whole series of audio adjustments you can perform on just the audio track iself. The one you want is Volume, near the top of the window. That should always be 100%.

Monitoring and previewing audio while capturing HDV

I have seen this discussion in the thread but there is no solution.
When capturing HDV via firewire, the audio is being previewed. This didn't used to happen. Is there a way to turn this off so that I can use other programs with sound like itunes? I can't find any way of doing this.
Any solution?

so that I can use other programs with sound like itunes..
Buy another computer and use that for iTunes. Seriously.
If you start dedicating CPU cycles and RAM to listening to music while capturing, you are asking for trouble. Dropped frames, glitches, messed up files (pick one or more)
Yes, there is another way -uncheck the audio preview button.

Preview window disabled when capturing FCP

A message comes up in the preview window saying 'preview disabled' even though the vtr os connected properly and can upload video: how do I enable it?

Hello
I use a XM-2. That is the European/PAL version of your camera. I have had this problem since a year. I use a LaCie external 500 GB drive. Sometimes I could work around the problem using the internal drive. But now I think I have solved the problem. At least for me. There are two problems. First see to that you only have Quick Time 7 and not anything left from previuos versions. Look in the Receipts folder where you can find traces of old versions. (There is Apple message about this somewhere). Then shut down the computer, not restart, shut it down completly. Shut down the camcorder. Wait a minut or two so everything is quiet. Then start the camcorder. Wait for a while and then start the computer. When everything is up and running start FCE and hopfully you will not see the message Preview Disabled.
I hope it will work for you

Unable to monitor audio during capture

I'm using FCP6 to capture footage shot with a JVC GY-HD100U at HDV 720p24. I'm using a JVC BR-HD50 deck to capture from, connected to my MacPro 3 GHz quad via firewire.
In the Audio/Video Setting dialog box, the Sequence Preset is "HDV 720P24". My Capture Preset is "HDV", Device Control Preset "HDV FireWire". Video Playback shows "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)" and offers only the options of None and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview–Main as alternate choices. Both HDV options are greyed out. The Audio Playback option is set to Default.
With this setup, controlling the deck remotely from the capture window, I get video but no audio. The only audio I get is when the deck is connected to my video monitor and I use it to monitor the output of the deck. The audio is there when I play back the clips after capture but I cannot monitor the sound with the computer's speakers. If I go to the A/V Devices tab, under Video, it shows the same "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480) with the same choices described above, and the Options button next to it doesn't do anything.
Can anyone think of anything I've missed in the initial setup?

Keith,
For whatever reason (perhaps the intense processor needs) HDV does not allow you to monitor your audio during capture. The computer just will not do it. What I have done, if I really want to hear what's happening durning capture, is plug my speakers into the headphone jack of my XL H1. Due to the processing that's going on, the audio "lags" behind the video by a couple of seconds.
I'm pretty sure this is not a setup problem, but just a limitation due to the nature of your format.
Hope that helps!

SETTING to hear AUDIO while CAPTURING?

Hi...
(another) silly settings question.
How can I hear audio while capturing from my HDV deck?
When capturing from a DV device (a camera), the 'preview' box enabled me to monitor the audio from the tape while either screening it or when capturing it.
I don't see that 'preview' box as an option in the HDV log and caputure window.
Although I'm capturing audio from the HDV source, I can't hear it while it's loading. It's a little annoying as I'd like to be able to hear the tape as a way to decide if it's even worth capturing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

We're here all week, try the liver.
I've always been a believer in monitoring in the signal chain. Granted I don't work much with HDV-- but monitoring what is going into and out of the computer, rather than relying on the computer's built in audio seems to be the way to go. Then you know what's coming off the tape, and what's going back down to the tape.

Premiere CS5 will not render video with titles on the fly in preview window

I am trying to use CS5 and notice if I add a title to the timeline overlapping any video and then attempt to play the video as soon as it hits the part with the title the video stops playing in the preview window. The background sound keeps going but video play back stops. In premiere CS4 it would render titles on the fly no problem. Why wont it do it in CS5? I should not have to render the timeline it should do at least a rough realtime playback without a full render. In CS4 it would play any and all effects on the fly depending on the resolution and the performence would vary depending on how many and what effects and transitions were applied to the clips but its very useful to get a quick idea how it will look. If I scrub, the titles playback while scrubbing no problem its only with actual playback it happens. Other effects and transitions I apply seem to render on the fly and play back in the preview window ok, it only seems to be the titles having the issues.
Any ideas?

Version = 5.0
Language = english
Latest updates = applied
Issue happens regardless of sequence settings

Usualy capture video from a canon HV30 using Cineform Neoscene capture software, this is 1440x1080 HD 24p clips. (issue with the titles happens on any imported video in any format though, even with no clips but on a matt background)
Cineform Neoscene capture software version 5 latest version
Only using stock premiere plugins
No error message
I want to use the built in premiere title function to place titles along with fades and what not and then play back clips in the preview windows with the titles applied rendering on the fly. This works perfectly in CS4, just not in CS5. When I try it in CS5 after you hit the play button it will play the clip but as soon as you get to the part of the clip where the title is the video playback will freeze, mind you the clip is still playing in the sense that audio is still going just the video playback stops in the preview window. As a note if you scrub the video on the timeline the video clips will display with the titles applied it should, it is only when you hit the play button the problem happens.
I have tried adjusing the quality settings in the preview window, updated my gfx card drivers and system drivers along with directx. Premiere is updated. I have tested other effects and transitions and they display fine, including super imposures such as chroma key or ultra key. I have adjust playback settings not that there was much to adjust there.
I will say again in CS4 never had this issue, I am surprised to see it here.
Please any ideas would be appriciated thx.

How to Mute audio when capturing

Does anyone know how to mute the audio when capturing HDV. The preview check box is only available when capturing dv. I'd like to be able to use the computer's sound for other things while capturing

Hi Ian, actually there is no "Preview" button in the HDV specific Log and Capture window (which is different from the normal Log and Capture window) so there is no way to mute the audio passthrough when capturing HDV.
Sabapp, asking for an update here is futile, you are talking only to other users. If you want to send feedback, report bugs, make feature requests etc then you should do so on the feedback page here:

IMovie 11 projects no longer working, preview window is glitched or black, event library not playing imported vids

I am having a lot of trouble with iMovie 11. I bought a new MacBook Pro 15" for the sole purpose of editing surgical videos for work. iMovie 11 was working great initially for me (taking full length surgical video - up to 2 hours) and editing these down to anywhere from 5 to 30 min videos highlighting crucial steps for the surgeries along with transitions, ken burns, etc (with the plan of overlaying narrative voice-over later). I had about 15 of these videos edited sitting in my Project Library and multiple imported videos (dvd to m4v via handbrake then imported via iMovie 11) in my Project Library. Now none of my projects play in the preview window, it's either black or a weird glitchy picture (like messed up pic of my doc or desktop... really weird) and only about 2 of my imported videos play in the project library, otherwise they are just black when I roll over them. My projects are still intact as far as edited clip lengths and transitions, but nothing plays, even in full screen mode. I tried making a new project and the imported video shows in the event library but when I add it to a project it's black (but does play in full screen mode, but impossible to edit this way). I think the audio is actually intact although i'm not positive because these videos don't have any audio (there's some baseline level that fluctuates on the audio bars).
I tried finalizing and exporting a project as an m4v (one that was a combination of two edited imported videos - one of the source imported vids working in the event library and the other not working) and the first half is all glitched up with no surgery video, but the second half is there with the transitions and everything (the half that is working in the event library). This part does not show up when I am trying to edit the project.
fyi - I had deleted some of the videos from my event library to unclutter a little some time ago, the projects were still working after that.
I can find all of my imported videos (in .mov format) that should be working in the event library when I look in the folder:
users/me/movies/iMovie events
If someone could please help me resolve this issue, I would really appreciate it. I put a lot of work and time into these videos and it would be near impossible to start from scratch (which would probably be on some other movie editor like windows movie maker since my iMovie is not working properly even for new projects). I'm hoping this is just some sort of glitch that can be fixed and my projects are still salvagable. I can't remember if this started after I did a system software update or not. This will be a huge dissapointment for me in the Apple platform if I have to scrap my projects because I had just switched over from the PC platform.
I even got Norton antivirus and internet security to make sure I don't have some sort of weird virus.
I have a Feb 2011 15 in MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz, 4 g RAM, 750 g HD, 1 g vid card. iMovie ver 9.0.4. Lion 10.7.2

Did you by any chance upgrade your Mac OS from version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to 10.7 (Lion) during the time you were working in iMovie on all these projects?
If not, start by deleting the iMovie Preferences file.
Go to the Desktop
Hold down the Option key and choose the Go Menu > Library
Go to Preferences > com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Move the .plist file to the trash and restart iMovie
See if the Project files react any differently. Failing that try doing a Repair Disk Permissions:
Restart the Mac, hold down the Option key continuously until 2 hard drive icons appear
Choose the Recovery Volume as your startup disk and let it run until you see the Desktop
Choose Disk Utility from the Recovery Menu
Run Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility
Reboot the Mac and when you see the Desktop appear launch iMovie
See if the Project files are the same or different. Next step after this is to one at a time take the Project folders out of users/me/movies/imovie projects. Move one to the desktop and start iMovie. Try skimming the projects that acted up recently. Moving one project at a time might help isolate which project may be causing problems. You can also place project folders back in their original location after doing this testing and iMovie will recognize them on the next relaunch. It won't hurt anything.
