No right channel audio on import from stero videos

When I import files using the import from camera command I loose the right channel from my videos but when import my videos using the import files command and import videos previously captured with FCP 7 the right channel is there. Why is FCP X not recognizing stero videos when importing from camera? Anyone else having this problem?

I have had exactly the same problem. See my posts. I found this happens when creating a camera archive from mini dv. When importing direct into the event (not using an archive), or extracting the files from the archive in the finder and importing directly using import files, it works! Please report the bug to apple.

Mythtv right channel audio squeel

I'm having a problem with mythtv and audio. For some reason, when I view TV in myth or record it, I get an high pitched alternating squeal which spurts for about a second and then stops for a second and so on.
I'm using a old bt878 card patched into my sound cards audio in jack. I have tried patching into both the mic and line in jack and both produce the squeal. However, I don't think it is a hardware problem. When I test the system using kdetv, there is no squeal at all. When I unmute line in using alsamixer so that I can hear both the live audio and myth's recorded audio, only mythtv's audio has the squeal. Using alsamixer to turn the master volume down to 0 in the right channel removes the squeal (but also right channel sound). However, using alsamixer to turn the recording device down two 0 in the right channel does not remove the squeal, but only removes the right channel audio.
I honestly don't know what the problem is. Could it be a mythtv recording problem? Could it be a codec problem? Could it be a DSP problem?
Is there some way I could test DSP to see if the squeal exists there?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Colin

Ok, Í've done a little more fooling around. I changed the recording profile sample rate to 48000 which helped a fair amount. Now the squeal doesn't switch on and off. But now I get this weird thump noise about every 4 seconds, sort of like a static blip. Again this doesn't occur in other programs from mythtv. Any ideas?

Headphone jack no right channel audio

So recently the right channel audio stopped working for my headphone jack. Any Ideas on how to fix this?

I found a temporary solution :
1) Open the registry editor (Windows key + R, then enter "regedit")
2) Go to this directory :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001\Settings\Drv7246_DevType_0892_SS146210c7
or something that looks like that
3) Change the settings as following :
Pin 14 : 02 00 00 00
Pin 18 : 04 00 00 00
Pin 19 : 04 00 00 00
4) Restart
5) Check if it applied. If it doesn't, try again. Sometimes it doesn't work at the first try.
It actually remaps the Mic-in jack in a audio output. The sound coming out is a bit lower than the original output but it's still better than the crappy sound I've had since the headphone jack became a piece of .

Noob.. GB '08 on MBP Won't Record Right Channel Audio

Hi, I'm a noob to Macs so please forgive me if I've missed something obvious.
I wanted to do some light, goofing around with GB '08 V 4.1.2 with my Roland V-Drums. The Roland V-Drum module output uses two, 1/4" jacks (a "Left" and "Right" channel) which I have coming together in a "Y"-shaped stereo adapter, plugged into my MBP (Latest Leopard - bought new last week - 4 gigs of RAM, updated all OS & GB files 3 days ago) and for the life of me, I cannot get anything to play in the right-channel audio *but only when recording in GB* - otherwise both audio channels work fine.
My Roland V-Drum unit can do mono by simply using one of the two designated Output channels; then I use a mono plug instead of a stereo. Even then I only get my drums recorded on the left side!
I've gone into every obvious configuration setting I can find - both in System Preferences>Sounds and those within GB '08, but for the life of me, cannot find where I've set something wrong. I've swapped cables and adapters. I've also tried speaking into a microphone plugged in and the same thing happens when recording in Garageband - only the left channel gets any sound. If you pan the result to the right, all the sound just goes away.
Anyone have any suggestions to try? Is this a bug? TIA...

Your welcome and... I'm pretty sure the award for curing Drummer Dysfunctional Disorder is a combination Nobel Prize + sneakers with the Nobel logo embroidered onto it, which is really great since I could use a new pair. I'm only grateful that this didn't occur last year because I would feel terribly guilty if my own award interfered with Al Gore's since, as I have read, he is also thrilled by the complementary sneakers.
Now see if Apple was really smart, they'd have the *opening screen* of GB ask: "Are you a drummer?" and if you answer "Yes", well that would take us to a much simpler version! Hmm... Perhaps I could design it for them - or be the "Test Monkey". But I digress...
I'm guessing your humility is not exactly warranted... but perhaps an even easier version could be developed and named something like, I don't know, iTunes?
I'm happy to report that, thanks to you Matt, my stream of obscenities is not only causing the LED to register but... I can *record them in stereo* too! I'll try your final suggestion after I sleep on it. Today, the built-in mic... tomorrow, the world!
Words to the wise! (particularly when recorded in stereo and including obscenities)
(I still hope it's ok to leave this as "unanswered" until I try recording my drums instead of the built-in mic, tomorrow)
I suppose there's a sort of philosophical appeal to leaving all questions unanswered: for what is knowledge, and what can we truly know? But now I digress...
So back to your Garagebanding.
The thing is, if you can get your internal mic to work just fine, stereo and everything, that lets you know that at least your system is working, and that there isn't a bug that's crawled into it and is messing things up. Knowing that, you can narrow down your search for the culprit. If the internal mic works just fine, and the software works just fine, what is it about your original setup that's broken?
I would go back to the notion that the computer never received both channels of your output (its input) to begin with, and that perhaps the physical plug is either mono or, by virtue of its shape, not able to properly seat itself in order to make contact on both channels. That's just a guess, but at least the search for the culprit has been narrowed down to likely suspects.
(One possibly helpful distinction: a mono signal can record to both channels through a stereo minijack, but perhaps if the minjack itself is mono - or not connecting to both channels of the input - the signal (stereo or otherwise) might be restricted to one side?)

How to make the audio track independent from the video track?

Left / Right Channel Audio mixing?

How do I mix the audio between the left and right audio channel?
I have a bunch of tape imported, but the audio is only in the left channel, so I need to either balance the audio, or duplicate the audio in the right channel... thanks in advance!

You should be able to do this by 'Exporting' your movie to GarageBand, and just making the one-channel audio the same on both channels.
Alternatively, if you want to do extensive tweaking manually, do the following:
0 - Download an audio editor such as 'Audacity'.
1 - In iMovie, select the video clip(s) which you want to 'repair', and then use 'Extract audio' to separate the audio from the video.
2 - Close iMovie, and use the usual Finder to locate your movie project, then Ctrl-click (or right-click) on the name of the project and choose "Show Package Contents".
3 - Look in the 'Media' file which then appears, and you'll find all your audio clips. Copy them to your Desktop.
4 - Start 'Audacity' and use File and Open to open the audio files, one by one, which are on your Desktop. Use these hints (intended for 'Sound Studio, but they work with 'Audacity', too, so click on 'Start Slideshow') to copy and paste one channel onto the other, then Save your work.
5 - Take those newly amended files on your Desktop, and copy them back into the 'Media' folder within your project (see 2 and 3, above).
6 - Reopen iMovie; the audio will now play correctly.

Audio not importing from MTS files

I have AME CS6, and when I import an MTS video, the audio does not get included for some reason.
After installing AME CC, when I import the same MTS file, the audio does get included.
Does anyone know how to correct this in AME CS6?
First image is from AME CS6:
This image is from AME CC:

Changing the Import method can sometimes resolve these types of issues. With any of the "memory card" cameras, important to use this method -
1) Copy ENTIRE contents of SD card to your hard drive, all folders intact (do not use "transfer utility/conversion" software)
2) In Premiere, use the MEDIA BROWSER to find and import media (usually tabbed at lower left side of Premiere interface).
Hope this helps.

Unlocking Audio Tracks Imported from Firestore Product

I've imported audio and video from a Firestore product into FCP 5.1.4.
Interviewee mic on Ch. 1 and camera mic on Ch. 2.
Place the clip in the timeline...
I'd like to delete one of the audio tracks...in this case Ch. 2.
When I lock one of the audio tracks, I am still unable to delete the other audio track...even though the timeline track is not locked.
A work-around is to just mute the track that I'd like to delete, but I was wondering if it's possible to separate the audio that was imported from the Firestore product.

I think the issue isn't the Firestore. If the track(s) are linked as a stereo pair, you can't delete just one. But it's easy to select and then unlink. After that, you should be able to delete just one (or mute it separately for that matter).

Ok so i order to help anyone who is interested.
The only ironic solution to this problem i found was to use a plugin called xto7 to convert the xml to the old fcp7 format.
i then imported this into premiere pro.
this was then able to export an OMF that when imported into logic 10 that was using the correct 6ch mono setting as separate tracks.
Insane but it works until Apple fixes the incorrect meta data import in FCPX that sets the xml export to the default import that is always surround.
this is the only way i was able to send stems with all the edit points and fades for the sound editor.
If you don't have premiere lying around you maybe able to do it with fcp7 too we just didn't have it in this studio.
Fingers crossed Apple fixes the fcpx xml export.

Audio not importing from PP to AE (5.5)

I am baffled and hope that some one can help. I am working with a third party AE Template (No pluggins) and I have tried several ways but still no audio imports to AE. Original footage is from an HD Camera CF card and was pulled into my Mac as options: .CIF, .CPF, .XML, .MXF & .SIF. The MXL (VLC File) is what I used for import into PP, which works great, however, when I start working in AE, no audio is pulled in. I have check on RAM Preview and even the Waveform is blank in the comp???
Any ideas, project due 7/10/13, starting to panic!

I did a quick search and found that there's a Canon import utility to wrap all of these files up in a package that can be easily read. You'll find a doc here that explains it.
There are also several discussions about workflow with this camera on the net. There are discussions in the Premiere forum suggesting that a good alternative workflow is to use the Media browser to import your files into Premiere Pro. From there you could right click on a clip and select Create After Effects Composition.
This camera is not unlike others that split audio and video into separate files. Before they can be effectively used in production the elements need to be combined into a single container. That's what import utilities are for.

Right-channel audio dead

My Nano suddenly stopped playing the right audio channel a couple of weeks ago. I've tried swapping the earbuds with different sets, which didn't help. The earbuds work fine in my iMac, so I assume it must be a problem in the 'Pod. Is this something I can fix, or do I need something replaced?

try doing a 'restore', process here...
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
this will erase everything on the ipod so make sure you have a copy of all your music etc. on your mac
if it is within warranty (1 year from purchase, unless you have extended warranty) then use the ipod service request site to get it repaired...
http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
if you have no warranty cover then repair is unlikely to be economic, but you could probably sell it for parts on ebay/wherever and use the money towards a replacement
if you are comfortable using a soldering iron then you could open up the nano and see if there's a dry joint that you could reflow, but things are pretty tight inside

No Audio in import from iPhone after 24 seconds

First, I'm not an iMovie expert in the least, but I've been trying to work through it and learn as I go. I'm having a problem where I'm trying to import video clips from my iPhone, and after I go back and watch the imported clip, the audio stops after 24 seconds. It does it with every imported clip from the phone, every time. And, like clockwork, it stops after 24 seconds every time.
I also have a JVC camcorder which I've imported clips off of its SD card, and all those import just fine. So it's only having the problem with the clips from the iPhone. I can play the clips both on the phone and in the iMovie import window (before it's imported) and they play fine all the way through. I only lose the audio after it's imported.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Macbook Pro OS X 10.8
iPhone 5.1.1
iMovie 9.0.7
Oh, one other question maybe someone can answer. When I connect my iPhone to my mac to import, my iPhone turns its WiFi hotspot on. This then forces my mac to use that for its internet connection instead of my home internet. The WiFi in the menu bar still shows connected to my home network, not the hotspot, but I think it's going through the USB connection. When it's connected and I turn off the hotspot, the phone will then disconnect from iMovie. Is this normal? Is this how it's supposed to work? Any way to prevent that?
Thanks!

I had the same problem so what I did is to download a streamclip media free software, search out from google, then when the clip from memory card are downloaded onto computer I open them with streamclip media and then export them in compatible format , there is option on file menu, I don't reme,ber now as I am replying from a cPC, but this works, so save this exported clip and use it in i movie it plays sound.

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?

Multi channel audio not exporting from fcpx xml as mono to logic always comes in a mixed surround

I have a long edit cut with 24 bit multi channel wav files (i.e 6 microphones on separate tracks but in a single wav file.)
This is very a very common production practice.
when i import into fcpx it defaults to seeing the files as surround. I change this to mono so i can mix and spit the audio between each mic.
The last step in the edit is to hand the mix off to the sound designer in logic.
however no matter how i export the xml file for logic. it always comes in as a surround file again instead of mixed mono files.
it shows up in logic as 6 tracks but all but generally only the top track has a mono mix of all 6 and the rest are blank.
it shows that all 6 are seen as 5.1 surround indicated by the icon.
interestingly if i just import the file directly into logic it comes in as 6 mono files. (the icon for mono showing and all are separate microphones)
Any ideas on how to get fcpx not to export the audio xml as surround? (it seems that it is locked to that on import no matter how i modify after)

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.
