No audio Playback on certain clips?...

The last two clips of people talking of my FCP video do not playback. I had voices talking over music and the music still plays back in these parts but not the other audio. Audio plays back in the viewer. I have tried deleting the clip and re-dragging it into the timeline , I have also tried different clips ...none work.

I actually figured it out for anyone having a similar issue.....i think!
If you look at the item properties and it says MONO instead of RIGHT LEFT ...you need to double click on the audio clip and make sure both LEVEL and PAN are set at "0"
This fixed my problem so far

  • Audio Waveforms (On Certain Clips Only) Not Displaying

    Long time forum-lurker, first time poster.
    Here's the situation: The nighttime assistant editor created a sequence of B-roll clips for an editor. On both the editor's and the assistant editor's computer, the audio waveforms for these clips are not displaying correctly. Specifically, the symptoms (on both computers) are:
    - Waveforms do not appear in timeline unless zoomed in to maximum or second-to-maximum zoom. When zoomed out farther than that, the "X"es appear.
    - When viewing the clip in the viewer's audio tab, either by double-clicking the sequence clip or match-framing from the sequence, the waveforms do not appear at all until I zoom in to near maximum level. When zooming out after that, the remnants of the zoomed-in waveforms remain on the screen.
    - The waveforms of other clips display correctly.
    I have tried deleting the waveform cache on both computers, changing the location of the waveform cache and restarting, and deleting the preferences on the editor's computer. I have not tried recreating the sequence from the original clips because the daytime assistant editor has more sequences to create and needs to use her computer.
    If anyone can help me, that would be great.
    Here are the specs:
    Assistant Editor's Computer: eMac running Final Cut Pro 5.0.1 and Mac OS 10.4.something (I haven't gotten a chance to run software update).
    Editor's Computer: Dual Processor Power Mac G5 running Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 and Mac OS 10.4.8.
    Both computers are sharing the same media which is located on our SAN. The Editor's computer (along with two other G5-based editing systems) is connected via FibreChannel. The Assistant Editor's computer (along with a whole bunch of other computers) is connected through our server, which serves the SAN drives as network volumes. Assistant editors create sequences on the eMac and upload the project file to the server, where they are available for the editors to download.
    Power Mac G5 and eMac   Mac OS X (10.4)   SAN: Xserve RAID, CommandSoft FibreJet (not Xsan). Server: Xserve (Intel model)

    Don't know what's going on, but tell us the format of
    the audio.
    It's the audio track from a video clip. All video on this project is DV NTSC. The audio is 48.0 Khz, 16 bit, 2 mono channels.
    Also, try copying
    one audio clip to a local drive and see if the
    problem persists.
    Copied one of the offending clips onto the desktop. Dragged it into the project. Opened it in the viewer and hit the Audio tab. Whaddya know, the waveform appeared.
    I cut a chunk of it into the sequence that is full of clips whose waveforms don't work and turned on "show audio waveforms". Waited for a long time and I still just got the Xes unless I zoomed in really close to the new sequence clip.
    But then I cut a chunk of the newly copied clip into a brand new sequence, turned on audio waveforms in the timeline, and they showed up.
    I don't know if any of this will help to solve my problem, but hopefully it will give someone an idea. I've got an editor who says he's used to editing from waveforms and needs the ability to see them. (Unfortunately, copying media to local drives is not a viable workaround. The media must stay on the SAN.)

  • Audio playback in reversed clips

    I have several clips in my current project that I have put in reverse and would like to include the audio in reverse as well. However, when I attempt to playback my sequence, while the video looks fine, there is no sound. The waveform is there and looks good in the waveform editor, but no actual audio comes out the speakers (or shows up in the meters). Perhaps the strangest thing, however, is that a couple of the clips do play back the audio in reverse as desired, but I cannot figure out what is different with those clips. I tried rendering the audio in the clips that wouldn't playback the audio (though the rendering color indicator for the audio was gray, not red), but that didn't help. Any suggestions?
    By the by, I'm running FCP4.

  • Stuttering playback on certain clips after render

    Morning, I have just edited a music video for a local band but I've having trouble with the output.
    The source is AVCHD 1080 50i and I am using that as the project setting too. one of the tracks has 3 0.5 second clips in which plays fine in the timeline, but on export it stutters or jumps. There is nothing wrong with the source, in fact 2 of the clips were filmed separately but put on to the same video track in the project.
    If I put just those clips on a timeline and export there's no problem, but when in the music video with colour correction or without they don't render correctly
    One thing I've found which is strange is that with each render the error is at a different point and looks different (sometimes a stutter, sometimes a jump and occasionally it's like the clip plays and then restarts)
    I've exported to the following and it happens with them all, any ideas would be helpful:
    h264 AVCHD 1080 50i 30mbps
    MPEG2 1080 25p 50mbps
    h264 720 50p 5mbps
    WMV 720 25p 5mbps
    I need to get this sorted ASAP as it was meant to be on the web earlier this week so any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Audio Playback and Certain Games

    Hello, i just upgraded to 7.0 the day it came out and ive had this problem since day one. i have tried to change ALL settings i can think of on my audio card and on itunes but it doesnt help.
    Whenever i play video games such as World of Warcraft, Empire Earth II and Call of Duty 2, the audio file either timestamps faster or slows down followed by scratching and distortion. I quit the game and the sound problem continues. I have to restart itunes for it to go away.
    I did not have this problem in previous versions and i am wondering what solutions there might be. Am i forced to go back to Winamp for audio pleasures?

    Same.... Now I can't listen to any of my music in iTunes whilst playing on the World of Warcraft, yet before the update it worked fine? Now the music just sounds like it's skipping back and forth :S
    Just got back from my friends who seemed to also develop playback problems with the new iTunes, yet the music was working fine minutes before the upgrade?! Both of us have pretty new PC's so I can't imagine that it's the pc's :S
    Any ideas? Or can we have the old version back?

  • Audio playback is clipped and has low volume

    Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help me debug my audio problems.
    The problem is that audio playback is clipped and has low volume.
    The details of my setup are as follows:
    - An onboard soundcard (ASUS M4A78LT-M-LE motherboard), identified as Intel HDA in dmesg:
    description: Audio device
    product: SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
    vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
    physical id: 14.2
    bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2
    version: 00
    width: 64 bits
    clock: 33MHz
    capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
    configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=64
    resources: irq:16 memory:f9ff4000-f9ff7fff
    - ALSA (snd_hda_intel driver) and Pulseaudio
    My ALSA mixer settings (which were used in the recording shown in this post) are at pastebin.
    The mixer settings were chosen so that all "dB gain" is 0.00 for all columns in alsamixer.
    Recording an MP3 (played at full volume) from the Stereo Mixer source in audacity I gives output which looks clipped and has low volume (link).
    This occurs with any MP3 and any other sound source (Youtube in Chromium, etc.)
    The problem does not occur when I boot into Windows XP, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
    I'm also attaching a screenshot of my alsamixer playback screen for the soundcard (link)
    Thanks for any assistance!

    Hi,
    I have the same problem since December 2011 with a similar Mainboard (Asus M4A78T-E).
    Did you resolve your problem?
    Thanks

  • No Audio on Certain Clips iMovie 11

    I imported all my clips from my new Panasonic GH-2. Many of them showed volume in the audio detail below the clips but failed to play.
    Strangely this happened only to clips where I used an external microphone after part of the day of shooting. Earlier in the day the audio clips play from either camera mic or external mic. This is on my Quad Core running 10.6.8 OS.
    I can delete and reimport the clips and still they fail.
    I deleted iMovie and reinstalled and even at version 9.0 the same clips fail. Even though they show levels in the audio area.
    Here is what is super strange!: I imported a couple of the repeated failing clips into my MacBookPro and they play fine. I have 10.7 Lion OS.
    I prefer to edit the video on my Quad core with the 30" cinema display and would like to find a reason for this.
    Please HELP I need to finish this project.

    Pumex, welcome to the forum.
    This is one of those problems that doesn't appear to have a simple solution.  However, it may be simple, but just not obvious.  It could be that the channels that don't have sound have weaker signals.  I would update the sound device driver for starters.  This is a shot in the dark.  Sometimes in diagnosing a problem that is all we can do.  Let us know if this helps or not.

  • Playback of any clip crashes CS 5.5

    I have been using adobe premire pro cs 5.5 for months and it has worked flawlessly. Now, when i try to do some edditing today, every time i try to play any clip on the timeline the program crashes, no error message, just the windows message: "adobe premire pro cs 5.5 has stopped working". sometimes the audio of the clip will play for about 2 seconds before the crash but the video never plays. i cannot think of any reason why the program would stop working so randomly. i am using windows 7 64 bit if that helps 

    What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).
                             -not sure where to find minor version number but ive installed all updates so i think its the newest version of 5.5
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)Yup
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".Windows 7 64 bit
    What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".MTS footage
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
                        a windows box appears that says: "windows premire pro cs5.5 has stopped working. a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avalible
    What were you doing when the problem occurred?
                        Just trying to use playback on a clip i dropped into the timeline
    Has this ever worked before?
                     -Yes the program was working fine before today
    What other software are you running?None
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?no
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).Intel core 2 duo, i have a nvidia GeForce 9700M GTS graphics card. not sure if you need anymore info since it was working on this system before

  • Performance hit in audio playback in Solaris 10

    Hi,
    I've noticed while trying out the Solaris 10 beta 72 that the audio playback quality took a major hit since Solaris 9. I was hoping that this would go away in the Solaris 10 release, but it's not the case.
    If I try to play an .mp3 file with mpg123 or even audioplay an .au file, there are regular clicks in the playback, audible about twice per second. Booting into Solaris 9, the audio playback is perfect.
    My intuition tells me that the integration of DTrace into the kernel is the culprit, but of course, I have no proof. Can anyone think of a way to test this theory? Can DTrace be disabled? Maybe DTrace can be used to figure out what's going on?

  • Multiclip angle goes black in viewer for certain clips

    Hi all,
    I have the strangest thing happening. I have two 45 min clips used in a multiclip. I edited the whole thing switching and cutting between the two and whatnot. So, now when I go back to it, on certain clips one camera angle will be blacked out in the viewer only (when multiple angles are showing in the viewer).
    Also, under the playhead sync drop down menu in the top center of the viewer window, the 2nd camera angle isn't available as an option. It only see's the first one.
    I wonder if this is a bug? It is extremely annoying because I can no longer switch camera angles for those clips.
    Anyone else have this happen?

    hey Pete
    theres another thread I think you may already have spotted
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=213768&tstart=0
    ... anyway, in case not, the gist seems to be that rendering (manually or because of auto-render) whilst still building an active multiclip edit causes some problems with the playback.
    try toggling off/on track visibility so as to lose any renders on the sequence (or copy and paste your cut into a new sequence, or using the Tools > Render Manager... to delete your renders for the sequence etc etc)
    hope it helps

  • Why do certain clips (photos), viewed in preview, on Adobe Premiere 11 look different on YouTube?

    Hi folks,
    I've posted, via Adobe Premiere 11, two different music videos on YouTube and on my Facebook page. The first one, "Back In The Day", looks the same on YouTube (and Facebook) as it did when I viewed it (previewed it) on Premiere 11. But the second video, "Wicked World", that I posted on those internet sites, has certain clips (photos) that look different than what's seen on Premiere 11.
    With "Wicked World", it almost looks like certain Panned & Zoomed photos are bigger in size than what the YouTube screen can show?
    I used Pan & Zoom on some photos in both videos. But maybe with "Wicked World", I always set the "Hold" times to zero (0) when using Pan & Zoom on some photos. Or could it have something to do with the Track Size on the "Wicked World" Premiere 11 video? BTW, I see that by right clicking in an empty part of the track, the Track Size choices come up as small, medium or large.
    Or is it something about upload choices on YouTube? Two different friends helped me with uploads to YouTube for each video, so maybe the first one, "Back In The Day", looks OK because that friend chose proper upload choices?
    If you have time, or the inclination to see the difference for yourself, you can go on YouTube and type in on the search bar, "Wicked World Bob Fuchs". You'll see both a head shot of me playing harmonica for one YouTube choice, and a painting of Van Gogh as another way to get to the "Wicked World" problem video, and the "Back In The Day" good video.
    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Once I find out why "Wicked World" photos slide partly off the YouTube screen, I will delete it from YouTube and replace it with an issue free one.
    I just want to learn what caused that, hopefully, so I can avoid that problem going forward.
    Thanks!

    A.T.please note:
    After sending you a previous email reply to your latest response, I am forwarding a new thought.
    I just tried out something you had suggested. I think it may solve the issue I have with the panned & zoomed photos on my "Wicked World" video - the ones that look weird when I view the video on YouTube (and Facebook).
    So, in case you also think the following may be the answer, I will now copy and paste relevant parts of my previous email, PLUS include my new thoughts - in order not to waste your valuable time looking into an answer I may already have.
    Here goes:
    The Premiere 11 Edit area monitor Magnification had already been set to "Fit".
    In Edit Menu Preferences General, I already had a check mark on "Default Scale to Frame Size". 
    The properties of the first file (a Title screen) that I dragged into the Timeline are 1920 Horizontal, 1080 Vertical. But properties of subsequent photos, some of which I panned and zoomed, are mostly only around 648x599.
    Upon viewing my "Wicked World" video carefully on YouTube, I see that what actually happens is that the box-like area where my video is shown (probably the same size of my Premiere 11 screen edit area?) is smaller than the YouTube's screen viewing area. That does not bother me. However, when the panned and zoomed photos occur, my smaller box area, within the YouTube screen, itself moves along with the panned & zoomed movement of the photos! That inner box moves slightly vertically, either up or down, and to lower right or left, depending on which direction the pan and zoom of each photo is going. And an empty border around the video area hangs there, within the YouTube viewing area.
    So ... as you talked about, I tried something: I replaced an existing panned & zoomed photo (clip) in the Timeline with the same photo, and then I clicked on "Scale to Frame Size". The photo got bigger. I then did a new pan and zoom on it, and reduced the duration of how long that photo clip plays. Therefore, although the pan and zoom happens faster, it cues to the proper places in the music (audio) track. And I'm guessing that the larger "Scale to Frame Size" on that photo will now show properly in the YouTube viewing area, without the smaller inner box area moving too, along with the panned and zoomed photo?
    I have only done this on one of my previously panned and zoomed photos in the video. But if you think this may solve the viewing issue on YouTube, that I described above, then I'll do the same with all the previously panned and zoomed photos in my video, and save it as a new version on Premiere 11.
    I guess I'd then try and delete the existing "Wicked World" video from YouTube, and replace it with the new, hopefully issue-free version.
    What do you think? Should I try this, and then replace the old one on YouTube?
    Best Regards,Bob [email protected]

  • No Audio on some HD clips?

    I imported a bunch of HVCPROHD rez clips @ 23.98 into a bin in Final Cut HD 4.5. All the clips have audio but only some of them play audio in final cut. They all show up as V1 A1 in the bin directory. I went back to the original quictime files and all the audio plays fine there. Any ideas why some clips would play audio and other won't?

    Thanks again for the reply. Sorry for bumping the threads up. Working on a timeline and debugging a new system is frustrating to say the least...
    To answer your notes, I have tried everything I can think of to resolve the problem. I am now lip synching with no audio to keep working.
    -Were the problem files all from the same tape or different ones?
    ALL FROM THE SAME TAPES.
    -Have you tried re-exporting the problem files from the original files?
    NO, ORIGINALS ARE 3 HOURS SOUTH OF HERE.
    -Have you tried creating a new project and/or sequence and reimporting the files into FCP. YES. NEW PROGRAM, NEW BIN, NEW SEQUENCE, NO LUCK.
    -Have you tried taking the material off line?
    YES. DID A RELINK MEDIA TO NO AVAIL.
    -When you say no audio, do the meters move but you don't hear it or the meters don't move?
    METERS DO NOT MOVE AT ALL.
    -Have you used FCP Rescue to trash FCP preferences?
    NO, HOW DO I DO THAT?
    -Have you tried the files on another computer running FCP?
    I HAVE TRIED THE QUICKTIMES ON ANOTHER MACHINE AND THEY WORK FINE. DON'T HAVE ANOTHER FC SYSTEM TO TEST THE IMPORT PROBLEM WITH.
    -Was the system that captured and exported the files running a different version of FCP than the one you are currently running?
    NOT SURE BUT I WILL ASK THAT TOMORROW.
    Here's the weird part. All the media was captured the same way from the same source. All of it works perfect if I open them individually in Quicktime. Once imported into FCPro, only certain clips play the audio. All clips show V1, A1. and a 48k sample rate in the bin info. I can't understand why some clips play audio and others do not. I even looked at the file sizes and there is no pattern as there are larger files that play and smaller ones that don't and vis versa. Thoughts?

  • Jerky playback of video clips in iMovie

    Just purchased a Sony Handycam (DCR-SR37E), and the movie playback is very jerky: the red line doesn't flow smoothly through the clips and the playback correspondingly jumps about. The sound is unaffected - it plays back smoothly.
    Is this a problem with the computer being too old and slow (iMac G5) or is it a Sony vs Mac issue?

    Wow- what a pain!! Just got the brand new MacBook ($999 version) for Christmas, and edited movie in iMovie 09....When I play it certain clips are extremely jerky on playback when I try to convert to youtube or quicktime...Latest Leopard OS- Flip Camcorder...So, basically, the Christmas video is ruined- even though the actual clips are fine...And its strange, because on playback different clips are jerky at different times...Anyone????
