Output to XDCAM HD - Audio Settings for Final Sequence?

Hi,
If the approval gods are smiling, it'll be time to export several programs back to disc for a client in the next week or so. The original clips and the sequence are all at XDCAM HD 1080i60, 35Mbs VBR. I've ingested using Sony PDZ file transfer with a PDW-F75 deck, and everything looks/sounds great on approval QTs so far.
My question is on the audio settings for the final sequence on to XDCAM disc. I've got 2 tracks of talent audio, 2 of nat sound and 4 of music. If I understand the FCP manual correctly, I have to select 4 mono track outputs when doing a file transfer export of the sequence. What settings do I need to choose so that the mix I hear when I play back my sequence in studio is what anyone down the line will hear when they play back the final sequence I've exported to XDCAM disc? That is, if I've got 8 active tracks, what happens to them with the 4 mono track setting? Thanks very much for any suggestions and advice.
Pat

Agree that the HDV downconvert in the camera is optimal.. but the darn print to video needs to work reliably to GET the hdv material back to the camera
i still have to use iMovie to get my files back to the camera in HDV...
FCP 5.0.4 still doesnt work well

Audio Settings for Premiere CS6

Hi, I currently run a Mac Pro with a 27 inch Apple Monitor with built in camera. The machine is also running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Could someone give me some clarification as to why the Audio Settings for Premiere CS6 are the way they are?
Example with a Macbook Pro and an iMac when I plug in a headphone I can get the sounds from Premiere pro as well as something from youtube to the headphones. However in the case of the Mac Pro with the Apple Monitor, when the headphones are plugged in the youtube sounds come through but the Premiere sounds go through the monitor. I'm aware of the audio settings but I suspect this is working by design because of the different audio options the Mac Pro have and there is nothing broken about this.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I've always found this a bit annoying.
The intended behaviour is that if you go into Premiere's audio settings, and choose "System Default Input/Output", it should change along with the system (so that the audio comes out wherever YouTube does). In practice, I've found this to be inconsistent in pre-CC versions of Premiere (CC fixes this).
One tip that may be helpful for you in general on a Mac Pro:
1. If you don't already have the volume icon in the menu bar (by the clock), enable that in System Preferences > Sound.
2. Option-click on the icon and you'll get a quick menu of your output options

Settings for Parellel sequence in routing

Pl. tell me hoe to do settings for Parellel sequence in routing , if there are 4 opn s , 10, 20 ,30, 40 .
10,20,40 are in standard seq. , but 30 is in parellel with 20.
pl. revert.
Regards,
RM

Hi,
In your standard sequence, create operations 10, 20 & 40 as per normal.
Now click on Sequence icon (Ctrl + F5), then click on new & in the pop up box select parallel operation.
In the popup box give a meaningul description, give the branch & return operation as 0020. Now a parallel sequence is created, double click on this one & add the operation 30 in this.
You can go to the graphical view & check if it as per your need.
Hope the above solves the issue.

Vivek

Premiere CS4 - How can you import QuickTime (.mov) videos and which settings for the sequence?

Premiere CS4
How can you import QuickTime (.mov) videos and which settings for the sequence?
Please reply in plain English or if possible in German
Greetings from Vienna, Peter

I have not installed Quicktime.
I got a few scenes (.mov) from a Canon Eos 70d.
I want to create a short film (in Premiere CS4) with these scenes, mixed with photos and MP3 music.

Audio upsampling in Quicktime Pro: Best export settings for Final Cut?

I'm using Quicktime Pro to convert audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz, for use in FCE/FCP. Quicktime gives me several options for export settings. I want to make the conversion lossless, without increasing the size of the audio file too much.
These are the settings I'm using so far:
Format: Linear PCM
Channels: Stereo (L R)
Rate: 48 kHz
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Quality: Best
Linear PCM Settings: Sample size: 16 bits
Are these settings the best choices? Does anyone have experience doing this kind of upsampling?
Here are the other options in Quicktime:
Format: Linear PCM, A-Law 2:1, IMA 4:1, MACE 3:1, MACE 6:1, QDesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, and mu-Law 2:1
Channels: 2 Discrete Channels, Mono, Stereo (L R)
Rate: there are other choices, but I know 48 kHz is what I want
Advanced Settings:
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Linear PCM Settings (when Linear PCM is the format): 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (floating point checked), 32 bit (floating point unchecked).
The file size grows quickly as you increase the Linear PCM bit settings.

You can't create something that is not in the file.
Moving from 32kHz to 48 will only make the file size
larger and can't improve the audio.
Doesn't FCP or FCE import your file at 32. Or does it
change it to 48 after import?
I am aware that increasing the audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz will not improve the quality of the audio. And yes, Final Cut Pro and Express will both capture and allow you to work witih 32 kHz audio.
I have several hours of video shot with 32 kHz audio settings that I'd prefer to have stored on disk with 48 kHz audio, because (a) some applications like iMovie have demonstrated problems with 32 kHz audio in the past, and (b) the majority of my video is shot with 48 kHz audio, so my 32 kHz video will eventually end up in a 48 kHz project, leaving the upsampling to Final Cut. Yes, I do eventually plan to burn my projects to DVD as well, but this isn't an immediate concern.
The problem with doing the conversion in Final Cut is this: Some of the people knowledgeable about Final Cut Pro and Express recommend doing the upsampling using Quicktime or another application, instead of using Final Cut, because Final Cut may not do as good a job as Quicktime. So my intention is to upsample the audio now in preparation for later projects. I don't completely understand why Final Cut wouldn't do as good of a job at upsampling, but a couple of experienced users in the FCP and FCE forums have independently corroborrated this.
Thanks to everyone for their helpful posts and responsiveness.

Audio settings for airplay mirroring

Dolby audio settings for Lumia 520

As every nokia Lumia windows phone 8 device has a Dolby audio settings with a equalizer in the settings menu, there are presets and a
custom one. This is not available in Lumia 520. This is utter discrimination,just because it is a low end Lumia device. If Nokia didn't want to give us Dolby audio settings, then why show a audio menu like in other devices and when we open its blank. This is teasing us. They shouldn't have put the audio settings in the settings menu for Lumia 520. Firmware. This is very bad nokia. Either update the firmware by removing audio from the settings or just give Lumia 520 users a equalizer. All the devices have the same chipset 520,720,620. A qualcom msm8227 with 2 krait cores and same adreno 305 gpu. But 520 doesn't have the equalizer , the other devices do have it. I expect a. Prompt reply. Nokia.

I am so disappointed with the way this lumia 520 turned out to be. There is no speed dial function, when even typing the numbers you have to type it,fully without the phone giving suggestions. There is no means to go forwards when using internet explorer, and you cannot set personal ringtones unless you use a computer or an app that does that. It is so messed up and uncool. I just hope all these are corrected in the amber update, speaking of which we don't even know when it would be released.

Mpeg streamclip avi to mov conversion settings for Final Cut Pro

Some help please.
I have just started to attempt to edit some avi files on the latest FCP, and for one reason or another, I'm having trouble converting the AVI files to MOV files in Streamlip, I have tried quite a few variations, but with very little joy. When i try to import a recently created MOV file into my FCP project, it either has no audio or both video and audio need rendering once placed on the timeline.
When I try to play the created MOV on QuickTime, again, there is no sound.
I was just wondering if someone would be kind enough to tell me the exact Streamclip AVI -> MOV settings they have used to combat this problem, or simply just tell me where I'm going wrong.
Hugely appreciated.

Hi again,
I have spent the last few hours trying all different types of variations of conversion, but with no lukc.
Thanks for the tutorial link, but the problem isn't that I don't understand how to use Streamclip. i just don't know which video and audio settings to use to create a .MOV file that will provide me with audio. This seems to be my major problem so far. Audio isn't even present when I view the .MOV clip in quicktime.
I have tried DV - PAL, H.264, Apple Motion Jpeg A, Apple DVCPRO - PAL etc etc, none with any success. It may be the way I'm trying to compress the audio, but I'm pretty sure that I've now tried everything!
I simply need to know a good conversion and compression setting that will at the very least allow me to play the video with audio in QT. once I have that, I don't mind rendering the audio in FCP as it takes no time at all to do.
Cheers!

Audio Settings for Premiere Pro CS4 during capture

During some other discussions regarding audio challenges with PP CS4 someone pointed out that if you analyze a file with G spot it should be in WAV format. I did this and I see my footage is showing PCM Audio at 48000Hz 1536 kb/s tot (2 chnls). Based on the fact that I record SD footage (audio selected to 16 bit 48k) onto a Mini DV tape on a DVX 100B and export via Firewire into PP CS4 does that sound right?
In the Preferences window I have Premiere Pro WDM Sound selected as the default device (Adobe default windows sound and creative ASIO are the other options) . The input and output in Audio Hardware Settings has the Buffer size sliding bar at about 25% across from the left and the Device 32-bit playback is unchecked.
I am just worried about what my dialog will sound like by the time it is edited in PP and send to Encore to export to DVD.
Thanks for any input you can offer.
Cole

GSpot should have shown the audio as WAV not PCM.
These are two different things. WAV is a computer file format for audio files, much like TXT is a format for text files or EXE is a format for executable files (programs). This is just the specifications for the file formatting on the hard drive. It applies to audio only files. Those which contain both audio and video will not be WAV files.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a method of encoding analog audio, turning it into a digital signal. This applies to both computers and separate components (CD players, DAWs, most cameras). It is the codec CDs use. It is also the standard for DV. Even most WAV files contain PCM audio.

IMovie audio settings for FCP?

Hi there
I have had this question for a while, and never got to post it.
I often import my footage using iMovie, mainly because it is easier and lets me do a quick edit quite simply. When I then bring those clips into FCP I always need to render the audio. Does anyone know if there is a setting either in iMovie or FCP to avoid this?
thanks
Hannes

Hi Michael
Just as an update/conclusion, I tested it and both FCP and iMovie are pleased – no more rendering of the audio in the timeline. I now have an Automator workflow exporting all my .dv files to .mov, so soon I will be back on track.
Thanks for your helpful answer

Audio Settings for PVR

I have the TV@nywhere product, and it all works well under XP (after removing SP1) except for one thing...
When I pause live video and try to use the time shift feature it mutes the line in on my sound card. Muting the line in causes it to stop recording audio, so non-live video has no audio.
I can manually un-mute the line-in, but then I get doubled up audio with the live feed over the recorded feed.
I'm using a Creative Labs Audigy card (OEM). Does anyone have any tips on how to configure the card/software so that I can use the time shifting feature?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Tim T!
After I unmute the line in, which level should I turn down? If I turn down the level on the line in it still doesn't record audio... It records the audio at the level set in the mixer. If I turn down the audio in the application it kills the recorded audio and leaves me with only the live audio.
Still, thanks for trying buddy! Let me know if I just mis-understood!

Writing an Audio plugin for Final Cut Pro

Hi all
There doesnt seem to be much info out there about writing plugins for FCP... I've looked at FXBuilder and FXScript, but they only seem to deal with video. I want to write a plugin that will normalize all of the clips on my timeline (I know normalizing is a sin to some audiophiles, but there are situations where I dont have time to take everything into Pro Tools or Soundtrack Pro and just need reasonable levels across an entire project). So my question is, would I need to write a plugin for FCP specifically and if so, is there an SDK or sample code somewhere, or should I write this as an Audio Unit plugin and if so, where do I start? Any help or advice would be appreciated
cheers

I'd think that the ADC is where you should start... (Apple Develeopers connection) http://developer.apple.com/ Might find the SDK you need there.
Also Joe at Joe's filters or Graeme Nattress might be of help. Great guys both...
