No audio in mini dv import

I am importing footage from my Canon GL1 camcorder with a firewire cable to my macbook. It imported fine but my problem is that the files have no audio! There is nothing.
While it was importing the sound was coming out of the camera fine.
Help?
Thanks alot guys

It happens. It's like a ghost in the machine, where the Mac doesn't load some library or extension that will carry the full DV stream into the Mac for some reason. I'm glad you got it cleared up on your own though.

  • MBP 2009: Audio over Mini DisplayPort

    Hello
    I previously ordered a Mini DisplayPort -> HDMI cable (http://www.amazon.co.uk/1-8m-DisplayPort-Adapter-Unibody-MacBook/dp/B003WVC8R2/r ef=sr1_fkmr01?ie=UTF8&m=A1T39SA8AUFT6J&qid=1289477962&sr=1-1-fkmr0).
    It's been working great with my 2009 model MacBook Pro, however I have to use a separate cable for audio.
    When in the Apple Store recently to fix a battery problem on that laptop, I got into a discussion about audio through HDMI on this model. According to the Mac Genius audio through Mini DisplayPort was enabled on older devices through a firmware update (and he said his Mac Mini now uses one cable to do audio and video).
    Audio is not working with the cable above - but was I incorrectly informed by Mac Genius, or do I need a different cable that does support audio?
    Thanks
    Jamie

    All we know about your MacBook Pro model is that you've identified it as a "2009 model MacBook Pro." Apple introduced audio-out via mini-displayport in the April 2010 MBP models, so if yours was bought before then, it didn't have that capability when it was new. To the best of my knowledge and belief, nothing that has happened or been released since then has changed that.
    [This article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241], updated in June 2010 (after the release of the latest mac Mini), lists the Mac models that supported audio via mini-Displayport at that time:
    "iMac (Late 2009), MacBook Pro (Mid 2010), MacBook (Mid 2010), and Mac mini (Mid 2010) supply multichannel audio (up to 8 channels) and video signals over Mini DisplayPort."
    I haven't heard of any update that has changed that list since then. If it were possible to enable audio output by means of a firmware update, I think Apple would have made that update available to all owners of mini-Displayport-equipped Macs, not just some of them.

  • MBP Audio over Mini-Displayport

    Hello
    How do I tell if my MBP can support audio over mini-displayport?
    I have purchased a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter but when I connect it to my TV I don't have the option in audio to choose the output over mini-displayport.
    I don't know if it is the adapter I have purchased preventing it from working or if it is the laptop.
    My MBP details are as follows:
    Model Name:    MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:    MacBookPro5,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:    2.53 GHz
      Number Of Processors:    1
      Total Number Of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache:    6 MB
      Memory:    4 GB
      Bus Speed:    1.07 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:    MBP51.007E.B05
      SMC Version (system):    1.33f8
    Thanks

    MBP's like your late-2008 model don't output audio through the mini-displayport — the first models to do so were introduced in April 2010.
    You need an adapter like this:

    or this:

    The former carries 5.1-channel digital surround sound from the headphone port; the latter carries ordinary stereo from a USB port.

    A small update to this issue....
    I have been trawling the forums to find an answer but to no avail...
    And... I've tried exporting and bouncing individual stems and the full session, either by muting all bar the stem or soloing the stem.....and still nothing.
    Same problems.....everything is audible in audition but nothing plays on playback.
    Since the 'prelisten' channel strip is Solo safe this would indicate that you have a track or channel strip soloed somewhere else, out of sight. Are the Mute buttons on your channel strips blinking?
    To view all objects in your mixer, click the button. You may have to scroll sideways to check the whole mixer.

  • Variable bit rate audio assets cannot be imported

    Extracted some ac3 files from personal content DVDs I authored and burned myself (using DVDSP) to make a compilation. When I try to import these 5.1 ac3 assets, DVDSP is refusing stating: "Variable bit rate audio assets cannot be imported." These ac3 files play fine in QuickTime and other programs that handle ac3 files.
    Can anyone help?

  • External Audio recording to be imported & used in FCE

    Hi there,
    I am thinking of using this audio interface to record some vocals. It is a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB. It comes with a software called Ableton Live that can record the sound in wav or aiff format.
    http://www.focusrite.com/products/audiointerfaces/saffire_6usb
    According to this spec, it uses a *24bit 96kHz a/d covertor*.
    http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR326826
    +TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:+
    +2 channel USB audio & MIDI recording interface+
    *+24bit 96kHz a/d & d/a converters+*
    I am using a standard defintion miniDV tape video camera and in my FCE, in the Easy setup, I have selected DV-PAL 32kHZ Amorphic.
    My question is, will the sound recorded using this Focusrite Saffire audio interface be imported into FCE4 for editing together to mix together with my video clips (recorded in my standard defintion video camera) ?
    Thanks you.
    Cheers

    QUESTION 1:
    I also discovered something strange when I check the settings of all the previous video & audio clips imported into FCE4. Those that imported in from video camera, the values are 16 bit 32 kHz (How come ? My video camera is set to 12 bit 32 kHz)
    Despite the material is recorded in 32 bit, the capture process with 48kHz setting are allowed, but on long shot, you can expect a audio drift from video if sequence's audio is not the same as original sources.
    QUESTION 2:
    Then, I look into all the audio clips I bought from iTunes & imported into FCE4, they are all listed as 16 bit 48 kHz.
    The funny thing is that both these type of different clips (ie, 16bit/32kHz & 16bit/48kHz) can be rendered without problem. How come ? FCE4 can mix clips of different audio types ?
    BTW, importing iTune purchased song into FCE is prohibited by iTune EUA. Any non-natively supported media can be rendered in FCE, but as explained in question 1, you can expect audio drift on long clip. This problem is not relevant with music track audio which is it not part of a video footage.
    QUESTION 3:
    If I set the Ableton software output to 16bit 48 kHz, does that mean that I actually cannot make use of the hardware abilities to produce sound of 24 bit 96 kHz ? Is there much difference ?
    96 kHz is used for professionnal multi-track audio editing. You have to use high-end audio monitors to ear the difference... if you can. Usually only audio engineers can ear the difference.
    Audio CD use 44 kHz and the quality is pristine on hi-fi deck. 48 kHz is the standard in video production and even used in dolby 5.1 home theater configuration.
    QUESTION 4:
    In the Easy Setup, I cannot find 16 bit 48 kHz. I only have the following option in the Easy Setup of FCE4:
    a) DV-PAL
    b) DV-PAL 32 kHz
    c) DV-PAL 32 kHz Anamorphic
    d) DV-PAL 32 kHz Anamorphic Basic
    e) DV-PAL 32 kHz FireWire Basic
    f) DV-PAL Anamporphic
    g) DV-PAL Anamorphic Basic
    h) DV-PAL DV Convertor
    i) DV-PAL FireWire Basic
    So, which one do I chose ?
    Use DV-PAL.

  • Audio wont play after importing from camcorder

    I import video fine via the camcorder, the audio plays fine while importing but when I went to edit it, the audio track stops playing after about a mintue or two.
    It shows up in the timeline, I have it checked to play, but for some reason it does not play, any ideas why this happens? I extracted a small clip of audio, and it still wont play. Any help is appreciated!

    I'll double check at home the cam is there, I was messing with the settings at one point, new cam but don't think I changed any audio settings, just put it to stereo....

  • IDVD lack of audio on 12 bit import

    Lots of coasters, (looked at articles deleted encoded etc.) but no audio to iDVD. The forums and articles talk about sound synchro problems with 12 bit. To me, a complete lack of audio is not a "synch" issue. Is it a matter of semantics or will iDVD 6.01 simplly not encode 12 bit audio?

    I don't think 12-bit audio would effect having no sound at all. As you said, it is a sync issue, so I suspect what you are experiencing is something else. But it brings up some questions...
    1) Is the missing audio only with 12-bit audio? Can you hear the audio fine if you import 16-bit audio?
    2) What are you importing from? Is this a DV format camcorder or are you by any chance trying to import MPEG files? Multiplexed audio can be an issue with iMovie.
    3) Did you check the audio settings of project? On the bottom you don't have volume set to 0 or something like that?

    Only 25 of the 32 keys are working. The last 7 keys are not. I tried to use it on both GarageBand and Logic Pro and it's all the same.

    I resolved with a very cheap USB hub (a simple gadget I had at home, nothing professional...)

  • HDMI Audio through Mini Displayport?

    Hi all
    I've just ordered a mini-display port/HDMI adapter that supports audio which I assume would work on my 13"MBP. However I have just been looking at a few pages on the net that put me in some doubt. My MBP was purchased mid May 2010 and I was told in the Apple store at the time that it was the latest model, just in, as the line up was revised April 2010? But there appears to be a lot of confused surround it and if it supports audio via the mini-display port.
    Can anyone confirm the functionality on this model?

    Yes, the MBP 7,1 supports audio via mini-Displayport, so assuming your adapter also supports audio as advertised, it should do what you bought it for.

  • Audio sync off after importing footage?

    iMovie HD 6.0.3
    Imported the same tape twice. First time there were scene breaks every 10 minutes, but the audio was in sync with the video
    Second time, I unchecked the "create new clip for each scene break" option and it will now import an uninterrupted video clip, however the audio is either severely or slightly out of sync with the video.
    Why is this?

    Checked that link and I think it helped, but am still experiencing some sync issues that don't seem to fit into any category I can find in the discussions.
    I just did another import of the full mini-DV tape playing it straight through. The person who filmed it did start & stop the tape so there are timecode breaks & such, but iMovie seemed to work around those by stopping import for the blank section(s) and starting recording again when the camera was again recording.
    So, by not starting/stopping the capture in iMovie, I now have a single .MOV file for the entire (HDV format) mini-DV tape.
    However ... portions of that .MOV file have the audio out of sync.
    Portions, not all.
    The beginning is mildly out of sync, then the audio delay gets pretty severe a little later, then it snaps back to being perfectly in sync towards the end...!?
    I did export the audio to a separate file, but the symptom is the same.
    How is this possible? What are steps to correct this?
