No audio playback when moving playhead frame by frame

FCP version: 5.0
Machine: Macbook
When I use the keyboard arrows to move the playhead forward frame by frame, I'm not hearing any audio. Even the audio level meter doesn't seem to move
But when I play the timeline normally, the audio is there, and the audio level meter starts moving again.
I normally use this to find the very start of a person's speech, but without the audio, it's quite hard to put a cut in right at the first word that a person says.
What can I do to hear the audio when I move the arrow keys?

Press shift and S keys to turn on "Audio Scrubbing".

Audio playback when scrubbing

It's been usefull to be able to hear the audio when playing back at 2x or 3x or to watch the audio meter frame by frame. Somehow I think I've changed a setting (attempting to correct another issue) and suddenly as of two weeks ago I only get audio on regular playback, not on 2x, 3x, or frame-by-frame.
Any ideas on what setting or control might bring this feature back? I can't find it!

Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.

Moving playhead in 10 frame increments

I'm pretty such this can be done, but I forget how.
If I want to move my timeline (or viewer) playhead ahead 10 frames every time
I hit the right arrow, how is that accomplished?
Thanks.

Hi:
Read this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3589910&#3589910
AFAIK you cannot program the arrow keys to jump that way . . . but I'm still learning.

Script for moving playhead to last frame, then exporting jpg?

Hi,
I have a lot of Flash files for which I need to export jpgs of their last frame. Could a kind soul out there guide me on how to write a command for moving the timeline's playhead to the last frame, then exporting a jpg (at Full Document Size, 72 dpi, 96% quality)?
A million thanks,
Kevin

private function snapshotLastFrame():void
gotoAndStop( this.totalFrames );
_bitmapData                         = new BitmapData( stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight );
_bitmap                              = new Bitmap( _bitmapData );
_bitmapData.draw ( stage );
saveImageJPG( _bitmapData, "test.jpg", 96 );
public function saveImageJPG( bitmapData:BitmapData, fileName:String, quality:int ):void {
            this.jpgEncoder = new JPGEncoder( quality );
            this.fileReference = new FileReference();
            this.fileReference.save( this.jpgEncoder.encode( bitmapData ), fileName + ".jpg" );
Keep in mind that you need a few extra libraries to be able to create a jpeg.. (AS3CoreLib) can be found at googleCode.

Problems with Audio Stutter when moving minimizing/maximizing windows

I am using an Emu 1820m (ASIO driver) with AA3.0. I'm using the same ASIO driver mode in both edit and multi-track view.
In multi-track view, I can have several tracks going (i.e., 24 tracks as I type this) and the audio is fairly rock solid. I can go to other programs, move windows around, minimize/maximize windows, etc. and the audio is glitch free. This is while running the Emu 1820m at 48k/24-bit and 2ms latency!
However, in the single edit view, this is another story. When I have an audio playing in the edit view, I get many audio glitches with audio events. The worst is when I minimize/maximize any window (not just AA3). I get a "brzzzzzt" while the window minimizes/maximizes. I can make this stop by disabling animations when minimizing/maximizing windows; however, why does mult-track view behave fine even with animations on?
Also, in single edit view, moving windows around causes a lot of dropouts in audio (but again, not in multi-track view.)
Can anyone shed any light as to what is going on here?
A very extreme case to show the problem even further:
In multi-track view, load up some tracks and play them. Now run dxdiag (while the multi-tracks are playing) and on the display tab, run the Direct3D tests. Even with the Direct3D tests running, the AA3.0 audio plays flawlessly while in multi-track mode. Now, play a file in Edit mode. Do the same test with dxdiag while the file is playing - GLITCH CITY!
This doesn't happen in other audio programs I have (i.e., Sound Forge, Sonar, etc.)
Please, someone, shed some light on this issue!

SteveG, I don't believe it is an 1820m issue at all. Do you have a single or multi-core processor? This behavior did not occur on my old P4 3GHz system. I only started observing it when I built this quad core system about a month ago.
By the way, today I replaced my mobo with one of the same brand and model and the behavior still exists (to rule out a defective mobo.) I've also tried 3 different video cards (although they were all NVIDIA) and the problem remains no matter which card I use.
Durin,
As I was typing the first post, I verified that I was using the Emu 1820m ASIO driver in both Edit and Multitrack views. (As I was writing it, it crossed my mind that I might have it set to something else in one mode.) However, it is the same in both.
One thing I forgot to mention is that there is one more app that behaves similarly (Reaper). All other apps (Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur) do not show this behavior and are rock solid.
If you'd like to see my thread about this behavior in Reaper (and others who can reproduce it) see here: http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19036
I believe Sonar, FL Studio, eXT, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Wavosaur, etc.. are doing something properly when playing back audio and/or initializing plugins that Adobe Audition and Reaper are failing to do properly with certain hardware configurations.

Audio problems when moving between chapters

My movie consists of imported video from my camera. I have a two songs playing over the video - one at the beginning of the first chapter and one at the beginning of the last chapter. When I play the movie straight through, the audio works perfectly fine. When I skip between chapters the two with songs play correctly. However the chapters that have the original audio are distorted - the video seems to pause or stall out and the audio doesn't play for several seconds. Does anyone know what my problem might be and how to fix it?

Audio Playback Frame by Frame - Enabling & Disabling

Hello,
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Initial searching has been fruitless.
Using Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
I have managed to somehow disable audio playback when moving the playhead frame by frame & when scrubbing through.
This occurs both in Viewer window & when clip is on the timeline.
The audio meter also doesn't register/update any change.
Many thanks.

Fred:
Check View > Audio Scrubbing or SHIFT+S.
Hope that helps !

Audio playback interrupts randomly

What might be wrong, when the imported .aif or .mp3 file playback interrupts after few seconds of playing?
In timeline audioeditor same track plays fine, but in canvas it only plays for few seconds.
The audio playback is behaving like a scratched DVD, or like it was too heavy for the processor.
There is not any moving images, as I tried to start a project by first importing the music, but even it does not function properly.

And to answer my self, I found the solution from the preferences:
The chekbox "pause audio playback" when sync is lost, was checked. Unchecking it cleared the problem.

Hello,
My iphone has a fault in the audio playback when I see a movie, music and so on. It only happens when the iphone is not the headset. Can anyone help me solve the problem?
Thank you.

Help Please. Audio does not play back when moving by frame in timeline

Normally when I advance through the timeline frame by frame using the left and right arrow keys I can hear the audio. But it just stopped working. Any ideas?
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Bugged audio playback? When I start working with more than 1 audio track.

Hi!
I have been using premiere elements 12 for editing FullHD videos.
Brand new for me just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
Now during the last couple weeks I have had this MAJOR proglem with editing the audio.
This problem is headache and turns my simple editing into almost impossibilites.
I have had this problem with all my projects. _ALL_
Usually the problem seems to appear when I want to start working with several audio tracks.
At somepoint my projects just get ruined, I simply cannot hear the audio tracks.
The audio starts to disapear randomly from all the audio tracks.
It is not only playback problem. When I exported the video, the audio was partly missing, same as the project.
I have tried to look help on forums and search all what I could find, but havent been able to solve this.
Small fix has slightly helped:
I export audio to single track and bring it back to project. This works but I still usually have more editing to do.
I simply cannot understand why the playback disapears, I fear it is a bug.
I found lot of earlier version problems on people with similar type of problems, but no help for this version of program.
To solve the matter I have changed my audio setting in PE12.
Tried Premiere Elements WDM Sound and ASIO4ALL V2, but same problem on both.
I have looked up that my audio playback device and PE12 matches, and are not muted, and volumes maxed.
I have deleted my C:\ appdata\roaming\adobe premiere elements & premiere elements 12 folder preferences.. not helping..
I press the update pretty much everyday hoping for new version.. But yes, program keeps telling me its the latest.
I usually only work with 3 audio track maxinum. And I am doing really the most basic stuff here..
I have set all my audios to foreground and it has given me best results, but it does not seem to take the problem away as at somepoint randomly my audio playback is missing again, randomly across the playback.
Please anyone? I am feeling hopeless here.

First of all, thank you for replying my message!
I will go and try to answer best I can.
Source media properties:
Progressive frame rate, I record this from a game.

In addition to that I use wav files for music and narrate

In total sizes of audio involved is usually something like 300mb
What are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size readings.
I opened new project and this is what i got:
Editing mode: HD 1080i
Timebase: 25,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
Audio is 48000 Hz
(I dont know how to change these, btw. Program don't seem to let me change editing mode.
I also looked up my most recent project and found these settings:
Editing Mode: DSLR
Timebase: 30,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
..and same audio settings
Do the problems persist if you start a new project? Do you find the audio problems develop when the Timeline content is fairly well developed or can the problems occur when there a minimal amount of content of those tracks? Let us look at the size and duration of this project.
Yes, I have had this problem with all my projects. Sometimes it goes away tho, just enough for me to work bit more. My work progress usually starts by clipping the video material, like 1h material to 8minutes in clips. After that I want to work with audio tracks, and here problems start! When I start working with more than 1 track, so the problem is at later stage. To fix the problem a small fix I have used, I export audio like music and effects tracks together to 1 wav and bring it back. After that, I start working with narrate track. To describe the problem with audio:
Audio Randomly starts to disapear when I playback, and can also be gone if I export the video out.
My source videos total size are usually within 80Gb max limit and audio edit material 300mb total.
In my last project my biggest source video was 47GB and leingth of 1h 4m, in addition to that I had 3 smaller videos, sizes of 1GB, 1,54GB and 300MB.
Is there any evidence that you are accidentially moving the audio track rubberband to alter the audio volume. That rubberband is the orange line that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip when you are looking at the wave form display style of that audio track. The rubberband represents audio volume.
No, audio volumes might have been adjusted in my tracks but they are present. The problem is usually like ~2-5seconds, a random audio track can be heard (like music or narrate) or just no sounds at all. This makes it very difficult to work with the audio. Also I gotta say that this problem starts by simply having the 2-3 audio tracks.. In my recent project the only adjustment I used to edit the audio was fade in/out.
I don't have any other audio problems with any other programs.
I am more than happy to provide more information if needed. I hope this information helps.
In addition I can say that when I close Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it crashes. No idea why.
I have also looked up my firewall settings, anything involved adobe and premiere..
In addition some effects like HD text templates make "Adobe Media Core CS6" crash. I tend to just not use em, or if I need em, I add em at end of the edits.
I hope this helps, I would really like to solve this problem.
Thank you alot for taking the time to answer! I welcome anyone to help mee too! Please giev links to similar problems too. Thank you everybody!

Audio meters are not in synce with the audio when viewing frame by frame?

I am running Final Cut Pro 4.5 and my audio meters work just fine during playback. But when I am viewing the sound frame by frame the audio meters do not move at all. I thought it was a memory issue, so I added another gig of memory and the audio meters still do not move when I try frame by frame.
Titanium G4 laptop Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'm unclear if this also worked in FCP 4.5<<</div>
It does.

Audio playback, frame by frame

In previous versions of FCP (e.g. 3), when I would drag the playback point through a clip, the audio would play for that frame. It resulted in the audio sounding "cut up". With 4.5, I can no longer do this. I found it helpful when trying to determine the exact frame that contained the beginning of a sound, which is has been very useful for syncing up multiple angles.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn this back on?
Thank you!

Do you have external video playback on? If so, is your audio following your video playback?
What are your different settings for View>External Video, View> Audio Playback, and View> Video Playback?
