No audio when importing footage under capture

When I'm importing footage from my camcorder into FCE there is audio in the caputure window & no levels on my audio meters. The camcorder I'm using is a ZR500 Mini DV using to import.
These are the steps I have done: File -> Easy Setup then Format: -> (all formats)
after that Use: DV-NTSC Firewire Basic.
Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
FCE 4?

Welcome aboard idw3,
Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
FCE 4?
That's normal for FCE. All versions have been the same. If you need to hear the audio use the cameras headphone socket if it has one.
All audio can be adjusted in the Timeline during editing as required.

No audio when importing AVCHD into FCP X? Simple solution.

After hours of trial and error and several phone calls to support, I figured out why my AVCHD footage (MTS files from a Canon vixia HF S100) had no audio when importing into FCPX. The solution was to simply uncheck the box - "Remove silent channels" - under Audio in the pop-up import window . That did the trick.
I had tried importing from a card reader, the camera and from an external hard drive and then tried 2 converter programs (MPEG streamclick and Wondershare Video Conerter Ultimate.)
Final Cut Pro X
OS X 10.8.2

It's usually something simple that can catch the best of us.

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

Error when importing footage captured with I-Movie!

Hi there -
Using the latest version of I-Movie..., latest everything (new G5)
I create a new blank project - and try importing the footage I captured previously in I-Movie.
I select the project file containing the captured footage, and select "import"......and..........
I get the error message:
ERROR DURING IMPORT
The file could not be imported: The file Macintosh HD/Users/xxx/Movies/Ireland 2 cant be imported; QuickTime couldnt parse it: -43
What's that all about?
Should be do-able - no? It's the latest version of Quicktime, OSX etc.
(there are no plugins in the plugins folder for I-Movie by the way)
Pls help!

Hi Florence,
just to see, if I understood correctly:
you have project A, with some captured video...
now, you have a new project B
you choose "import"
and select "project A" for importing?
no, that doesn't work with iMHD...
your imported footage of project A is hiddin in a socalled "package" (in earlier versions ofIm you could see a "media folder", containing single .dv files...) you cannot import pkg into iM......
switch to finder
ctrl click - click on project A icon
choose "show package"
select "media"
copy files into new folder
switch to iM
import from new folder.....
besides: importing from tape is ... better/best-practise...

No Audio when Importing?

Can anyone let me know if there's a way of getting the audio to work when importing... it always used to work before in previous versions of iMovie... is there some setting I am doing wrong... whether it's on Manual or Automatic... the footage imports silent.
Any comments most welcome.
Regards,
Anthony

Because I was using an old camera (without firewire) I had to capture with my PC using DVD Director Pro. That works great, thanks<<</div>
You have no DV device for working with FCP? No camcorder, deck or converter? If you do, connect the analog outs of the old playback device to the analog inputs of your DV device, then connect a Firewire cable from the DV device to your Mac. Set FCP's capture control to "Non-Controllable Device" and hit Capture Now. This method works fine for everyone I know for capturing virtually any analog format (VHS, 8mm/Hi8, BetaMax, 3/4", etc). You'll have much better quality than going to MPEG first, and if you have a TBC lying around to run the analog signal through, you can get some rock-stable footage.

CS4 - no audio when importing an avi or mpeg

Hello I am trying to figure out why there is no audio when I import an avi created with Fraps. The audio is in the avi made from Fraps but when I import it to premiere pro CS4 - there is no audio during playback. I checked all the audio hardware settings, I dont know what else to do.

While not particularly FRAPS, this ARTICLE will give you some pointers on other video-capture programs.
As John points out, there are several FRAPS threads to draw from too.
Good luck,
Hunt

No Audio when imported and played on the timeline

I imported with a panasonic DVM100B using a canopus ADVC-100 and RCA cables I have ordered a 9pin to 4pin firewire.. The capture files plays video and audio from Quick Time and will play when put in iMovie. The audio will not play when imported into Final Cut Studio HD upgrade and placed on the timeline. The Audio track shows peaks when open and the audio meter shows movement when playing the track.
Any suggestions

Thanks for the info. I went back to the audio and video settings and the audio output and playback is now on default. It is working except I had to render all imported files.

Gaps in audio when importing clips?

When I try to import clips from my camcorder to imovie, quite often it happens there are little gaps with no sound (easy to hear, and visible in audio wave as gaps as well).
When I connect the camcorder to the TV set, then the sound is fine, thus assume it cannot be a mistake in recording.
I've also exchanged the firewire cord, still the problem continues...
Would be extremely grateful for any help...

Hello BCRC,
What make / model computer are you using?
What operating system?
What program are you using to burn the DVD's and CDs?
By gaps are you meaning that there is a gap from one track to the next and you are looking to burn gapless discs, or are you referring to the audio actually skipping parts of the audio when burning?

No Audio When Importing MOV into LifeType

Hi
I'm new to FCE and I was importing a mov file into life type. However, there was no audio when I tried playing the file. I am able to see the visual and the live fonts effects but somehow the audio is missing.
Did I miss something ? Is this the right approach for creating a movie with LiveType effects ?
Jojos
P.S: The mov itself has audio when played via Quicktime.

if I may ask for the steps I would be doing the following ?
1. Create the titling effect in LiveType
2. Export it to a quicktime movie
3. Open FCE4 and superimpose it into my main movie clip
4. Generate it as movie
In step 2, do I render a movie or generate it as a quicktime movie? May I know what's the difference and which offers a better quality ?
Appreciate your reply.

Question re: audio when importing AVCHD footage

Hi everyone,
I use a Panasonic AF-100 which records using the AVCHD codec and uncompressed PCM audio. When using the Log and Transfer function to transcode my footage, I see that in the Preferences menu of Log and Transfer, under "AVCHD", audio is stated to be "AC3" (and I do not believe this setting can be changed). When I transcode the footage to ProRes, does the audio get transcoded to the AC3 format and thereby gets compressed in the process?
If anyone knows and would like to share, that would be much appreciated!
A.

According to the camera's specs (http://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/af100/spec.html):
[Audio recording playback]
Recording Format: PH mode: Dolby Digital/2ch, linear PCM digital/2ch switch HA/HE mode: Dolby Digital/2ch
Sampling Frequency: 48 kHz
Encoding: 16 bit
Compressed Bit Rate: Dolby Digital: PH mode: 384 kbpsHA, HE mode: 256 kbps
So the camera records audio in Dolby Digital. I'm not 100% certain on this, but aren't Dolby Digital and AC3 the same thing? At any rate, from the camera's specs, I don't see where the audio is recorded "uncompressed."
I don't think the audio gets transcoded to AC3 - I think it IS originally AC3 and gets transcoded to AIF (AIFF or AIFC) during the Log & Transfer process.

Why does my footage Slow down and loose audio when imported to after effects cs6?

Whenever I import video of any kind into after effects, it slows down and looses audio. It happens for every video. The weird thing is, it seems like it doesnt happen to anyone else on the internet. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!!! I am about to cry. I cant do anything with this stupid software! If there is a solution please tell me. Its really annoying.
extra info-
On Mac
mov. Files
H.264 codec

Slows down when? When you preview? Do you know how to preview?
If you are pressing the space bar to preview the video then the behavior you are seeing is normal. AE will not playback in real time with autio unless you do a ram preview (look it up). You must learn to use the software.
Start with the three videos on this page: Basic Workflow
Or check out these resources: AE Basics

Losing audio when importing from QT, help please

I have been unable to capture footage from a handycam to FCP HD, so I decided to capture in imove instead and then export the footage as QT files so I can import into FCP. Exporting is fine, and when I play the files in QT I get both audio and video, but when I import the same files into FCP I only get the video and the audio has disappeared.
When I try to import the imovie dv clips, they play for a second and then the video stops but the audio continues. That's why I decided to convert them to QT.
I have no idea how to fix this. I tried extracting the audio in imovie and exporting that way too, but same result.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!
(The whole reason for these problems is that I can't seem to capture in FCP. FCP recognizes the camera, but can't seem to control it. It is set on Firewire NTSC basic, and I've played around with different settings on that as well. The camera is set to VTR with AV/DV out on........can't figure out why it won't work.)
Sorry for the long version.

Personally i'd try to iron out the wrinkles in your fcp capture process.
Is your camera on the approved devices list? If not, you might think about a new camera. if it's a sony, you ought to use firewire, not firewire basic as your device protocol.
Can you play out to the camera?
imovie captures a dv stream, not a mov and therein lies the problem with imovie files in fcp. but you ought to be getting unrendered audio (beeps until rendered) not no audio at all. Interesting.
What exactly is the camera?

No audio when importing .M2TS video file into PP

Hello hopefully someone can give some insite to why I'm having this problem. I'm using the Hauppauge HD PVR to capture HD footage from my DVR
and I'm getting mixed results when I import into PP. The video is fine and sometimes the audio works and other times it doesn't, I let PP comform the file before I try editing it. The captures are @1920 x 1080 in 5.1 audio, if I capture with just 2 channel audio I have no problem and everything is fine but capturing 2 channel audio kinda defeats the purpose of doing highdef to Bluray. When I view the same file that doesn't have audio in PP with a player everything plays and sounds fine, so I know the capturing process is fine. Any suggestions would appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.
First, what version of PrPro are you using?
In earlier versions, pre-CS4.1, you need to copy the AC3 .dll from Encore to PrPro, to use AC3 Audio. In CS4.1 - CS 4.2, that is no longer necessary.
Now a note on Exporting DD 5.1 SS. You will need the Minnetonka SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in. You get 3 trials of it, then must purchase it to Export as DD 5.1 SS. If you go this route, purchase from within PrPro, as you will get an Adobe-user discount of ~ US$50. If you buy from the Minnetonka Audio site, you'll pay full price.
Also note that Hauppage might not create 100% DVD/BD compliant DD 5.1 SS. That could be an issue too.
Good luck,
Hunt
