No audio while importing?

I am attempting to digitize some old tapes from U-Matic, via ADS Pyro link - I want to see and hear what is being captured as it is happening, I can see but I cannot hear. When I "stop" and play - lo and behold there is audio!
Great but what if I just recorded/ingested an hours worth of material without audio?
+ it's a bit dull just watching lips move.
Please tell me there is an easy fix maybe a bit like a VCR or such, just a high tech digi version - called a computor!
I just bought iMovie (the latest) because about an hour ago I read that is what I needed to do, because the version I had couldn't.
It's now 3 hours since I tried to do something really simple - and I have given up.
On that note, and to Apple, I am spending many hours doing "PC" type things, like searching for solutions to "problems" like this, and recently searching for "drivers" that used to be a thing of ridicule hurled at win-tel users.
What happened to the easy human interface? where everything JUST WORKED! I am spending more and MORE time trying to figure out and remove all the "improvements" - WHAT happened?
Thank You

Thanks for replying - thing is I used to have it, I am almost certain.
When googling I came across a thread saying it was switchable in iMovie 6, I had iMovie 7.
In the same thread it said that it was also switchable (well clickable) in the latest v.
So I bought it, would seem I've wasted money.
I'm importing in real time from a U-Matic tape deck so no speaker!
Anways It seems I'm not the only one by a long way,
Apple are loosing me little by little, I have been a "fanboy" since OS7.
I have spent many hours trying to undo all the "features" in Lion, I only upgraded to keep functionality of my email accounts that I've had since the begining of mobile me. I never would have ever imagined Apple would end up like this. They are breaking everything.
I don't want an old fashioned looking iCal. "Natural" scrolling is un-natural. I don't like spending hours searching for "drivers" to make things work again. and on and on.
I used to make fun of win-tel users with my "tale of two computors" - Not any more.

How do I monitor audio while importing?

While importing from my cable TV, I Can see the incoming video but caan't hear the audio. I would be helpful if I could here the audio so I could go about my work and keep an ear on the feed. Then I would know when the feed is over without having to Constantly watch it. I suppose I could size the monitor windo real small and put it in the corner of my screen then rearrange all working windows arround it. But that's a pain...

How do I monitor audio while importing?
Use iMovie HD or Vidi to import files to your computer. Both allow audio monitoring. iMoveie '08 does not.

Transitions do not render Audio / no audio while importing from cam / etc.

hi - i still have problems with the latest iMovie HD 6.0.2. (267) on my brandnew 17" iMac (Intel) 1-GB-RAM, (QT WITHOUT any 3rd-party-SW)
1. the build-in transitions (soft/smooth, overlay) dont render the AUDIO-file.
it takes NO effect (only the images do)
2. by importing clips from the camera i cannot hear AUDIO the same time
(by replaying the importet clip audio is available/imported)
3. the sharpening filter can't show a preview - the effect/s will only appear AFTER rendering.
any idea?
Mike

As others have noted, the audiolevels are as they are when you record. If you need good audio on your video, you need to make sure the levels are ok while you record!
That is, not to low, and not clipping.
On most pro setups, the audio is controlled by a seperate person, or you have mics with microports on the speaking person(s) that are adjusted before the actual recording starts.
Too low audio tend to give a lot of noise, and to high audio make clippings when digitized, making distortions.

Turning off audio while importing

Losing Audio While Importing DV - Missing Clips

I am new to imovie. I just bought a Sony HC-42 miniDV camera and am using it in "passthru" mode to import old 8mm tapes from my old camcorder.
I had no problems with my first tape, but now I keep having crashes. One interesting phenomena is that I keep losing the audio during playback of any imovie project. I can only rectify this by rebooting the computer. This keeps happening without a consistent trigger. HELP. Also, I noticed that I mysteriously lost the first clip in the project???
I am using imovie 3.0.3. I am importing to a new external HD using firewire 400.

Hi Mark
What's comes first to my mind is:
I don't daisychain Camera - ext hard disc - Mac.
I would try to import but with the external hard disc disconnected. If this
works OK then You know that Your Mac is on the boarder of what it can
handle.
I use QT 6.5.2 with Mac OS X.3.9. If You upgraded to QT 7 that can be
another source to problems.

Help me!:audio keeps dropping out and coming back in while importing clips

While importing from my camera (brand new Canon Xl-2) to imovie, the audio from the tape keeps dropping out and coming back in for some reason.This happens with all my tapes. I've tried using a head cleaner and that didn't help. I'm using a Maxtor external hard drive to save the project on. The project itself is kind of big (about 80 GB) Can imovie support projects that large? Could this be a problem with my processor?
I'm just frustrated beyond belief right now. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
these our my specs: Processor: 800 mhz. Memory: 1GB SDRam. The disk space icon at the bottom of imovie says i have 151 GB of disk space left.
powermac g4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi e
With a slow computer one has to minimize the hassle.
I would
- repair permissions
- cheque that nothing else is taking resourses from the job (energy saver,
screensaver, File Vault etc.)
- I would move material to my ext hd so that I got > 80Gb free (for a 80Gb
project)
- nothing else connected than my Mac + Camera and import.

Error while importing music in iMovie 11 From itunes 10

Re: Error while importing music in iMovie 09 from iTunes 09
Posted: Jul 24, 2010 8:08 AM in response to: vincentplaces
I'm having the exact same issue, but still haven't figured out what it is. I note that at the top of this thread it indicates that there are two "helpful" entries and one "solved" entry, but I can't find the solved one, so maybe someone will repost it here or kindly link to it.
There is one icon missing though.
As I read through the excellent tutorial at http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html I scroll down to the point where he talks about dragging music in from iTunes, which is what I'm trying to do. I can see, in his screen shot, the extra little icon that is a red oval and a white "1" in it. I don't get that icon when I am trying to drag my music into the video. I do get the green and white plus icon when I try to drag my music in. Also I DO get BOTH the red 1 and the green plus when I try dragging in a sound effect, which I can do with no problem. But why not the music?
I've been able to drag in music with no problem in other productions, so I can't figure out what is going on with this one. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere that got flipped, but I can't figure out where.
In desperation I also tried adding an extra title slide at the end of my video just to make sure there is more video time than music time in the production, but that didn't help at all.
Any help guys?

Hi
Due to some kind of copy protection in iTunes - I don't copy directly from this in iMovie
to my projects. (Most often the result of doing it in iMovie is a DVD without any sound)
I do
• In iTunes - collect needed audio into a new Playlist
• then burn this out as an Audio-CD .aiff (NOT .mp3)
• This CD I copy into a folder on my Mac (often containing other material that's connected to the project)
• And then I drag and drop these .aiff files into my movie project in iMovie.
This works Greatly and even more so when I do my DVD.

I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset?

I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset/earphones?

Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

Overwrite Error while importing report in CUIC8.5(4)

Dear All,
I am facing difficulty in getting the report definitions imported in CUIC.
Current reports are not working correctly so i have downloaded the new report definitions from the cisco developer's site.
While importing it in CUIC in a new folder too it says that report already exists.
Tried changing the version in the xml file as per suggestion in "CUIC_Release_Notes_854.pdf"
Renaming files also dont work.
Logically there must be some way to keep both the report definitions - - any ideas from anyone?

Powerpoint 2010 Audio not importing

I am a brand new user of Captivate 7. I have a large Powerpoint presentation that I have imported to Captivate, but none of the audio is present in the new presentation. Most of the audio was recorded in PPt Narration.
As far as I can tell from the very basic tutorials I have looked at, the audio should be there as a separate track?

Hi,
Can you confirm whether this audio is narration was imported in Captivate or recorded. I did notice that you mentioned that most of it narration. Does that mean you are not getting any audio in Captivate?
What powerpoint version were these files created?
Could you also confirm what is the extension of your powetpoint file is it PPT or PPTX, try saving it as PPTX and while importing check the box for High Fidelity and Slide duration and verify the results?
In case the audio in Powerpoint was imported make sure that the imported audio file is in the same folder where the PPT(x) resides.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

VOB converted to AVI audio files imported to premiere play in different order than the video files

Hello there,
I extracted the VOB files from a burned dvd created with Adobe Premiere pro 1.5, I converted the files into AVI files, then I imported it to Premiere CS4. The video sequence on the timeline plays in the correct order but a very fast speed, and the audio sequence plays all the individual clips in a random order, not in the order that they were originally edited in.
What did I do wrong while importing or converting?
Elio38

Hi Elio,
What program, or utility did you use to convert the .vob files to .avi, and what was your target codec? I typically use SUPER Converter, which is free and very versatile, to convert program stream .vob files to a useable format that PPCS4 is compatible with. You can also directly import and edit a .vob file from a DVD in PPCS4 by simply changing the file extension to .mpg. However, doing so will eliminate the audio channel from the video clip in PPCS4.
I was able to recreate what I believe was your issue when I tried converting a .vob file to an .avi file, regardless of what codec I used. I had no issues what so ever when converting the .vob file to a .mov file using the DV codec, for example. It could be a bug with PPCS4 because the same .avi file I created with the DV codec played back fine in WMPlayer, and VLC, but played back almost in slow motion in PPCS4. It might be advantageous for you in the meantime to re-convert the .vob files to .mov files and just choose the standard DV codec.
Remember, you are trying to edit files that are intended for delivery and that were not originally designed to be edited. Attempting to edit inter-frame formats such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, FLV, etc...has caused many a headache and even today, are not the easiest to work with.

Hear HDV Audio while logging?

I am not hearing the audio while loging from my GY-HD100U in final cut 5.03
How might one go about that?
I have a 24 channel firewire i/o that works fine while editing for playback but no sound while loging even though it captures sound just fine.
?????

Well, there is such a delay between when the picture is being displayed on my computer monitor and when the tape is playing that the audio monitored from the deck option is virtually useless.
I am also getting FCP chopping up long shots into little bits and leaving out important parts.
I understand that FCP has to make a new file with every start stop with the JVC short GOP MPEG-2 stream but why would it be chopping up continious video with continious time code?
I have tried giving the camera it's own firewire port (on a seperate pci card)
Capturing to a different disc and all to no avail.
So no audio monitoring while logging
No logging anyway as FCP is chopping the video up into unusable pieces.

Error while importing a new CERT in oracle 10G B2B

Hi All,
I am trying to upload a new certificate in 10 G B2B server, its not updating a certificate, I am facing the below error while importing
Error
An error occurred when updating the certificate.
Error -: AIP-16001: The model validation engine failed due to an internal system error.
Error -: AIP-11052: Writing following objects: Certificate failed due to following constraint violation: CERTIFICATE. CAN NOT UPDATE UNVERSIONABLE OBJECT IN A VALIDATED CONFIGURATION.
Note: Please help me in resolving this ASAP.
Regards
Sai

Hi Sai,
It seems you are updating certificate in a delivery channel which is being used in a validated (or may be deployed) agreement. Please retire/purge any deployed configuration which is using that delivery channel and also make sure no such agreement is in valid state(which is using this delivery channel).

Error while importing a table index.

Hi,
We are facing a problem while importing an index to the production region. Below are the details.
1. A secondary index was created on standard SAP table ILOA in DEV region.
2. The Index was successfully moved to the Quality system, without any glitches.
3. Due to some issue (releated to testing, for which we had to revert back the changes), we had to delete the index on ILOA in the DEV region. The transports were moved to the PPD region and hence, the index on ILOA was deleted in PPD also.
4. Once the issue related to testing was resolved, we again created an index on the table ILOA and moved it to PPD.
All these 4 mentioned steps happened successfully and in PPD there was no error while importing the transports.
But, while moving the above transports to the Production region, there was an error :
"Index ILOA~Y could not be activated
(E - No index ILOA~Y found with status M)"
Please note that Y is the name of the index that was created on the table ILOA.
The error code that we have got is "8".
Can anyone please shed any light on what the issue is?? WE cannot re-import the transports in to Production without analysing this issue,because our client doesnt permit that.
Thanks and eagerly awaiting a kind reply.
Regards,
Raghavendra.

You've three transports - one to create the index, one to delete, and one to recreate. It could be that the the third one tried to run before the database had finished with the second?
Have you looked on SE14 for the actual status on production of the index?
