Publishing Audio Only

Hello Folks
Results for videos with my brand new VC3 have been great. My question is: can I record and publish just an audio track and burn it to a CD? I know I can record it - no problem; my question is about publishing.
I have had a look through the Help section but with no luck.
Thanks in advance.
All the best.
Warmest regards
Bill

Hello Rob
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how find the Custom option and uncheck the video button as you suggested.
In the meantime, a friend suggested http://www.aoamedia.com/audioextractor.htm. It's a free download. It was quick and easy to use.
This pleases me because after a rather steep learning curve, I'm now very comfortable with my VC3. Now I can do all my audio stuff on it, publish, convert and be happy.
All the best.
Warmest regards
Bill

Publish an audio-only stream (HLS)

Hi,
the documentation says this:
"To serve streams over a cellular network, one of the streams must be audio-only. For more information, see HTTP Live Streaming Overview.
To publish an audio-only stream, enter the following in the Flash Media Encoder Stream field:
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only&adbe-audio-stream-src=livestream1
If the encoder specifies individual query strings for each stream, use individual stream names instead of the variable %i:
livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only
livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream2_audio_only
To generate a set-level variant playlist when using an audio-only stream, specify the audio codec of the audio-only stream. Specify the audio and the video codec of the streams that contain audio and video. For more information about using the Set-level F4M/M3U8 File Generator, see Publish and play live multi-bitrate streams over HTTP.
Does this mean that using one FMLE encoder (with the installed AAC plugin) i can stream BOTH audio+video AND audio only stream via HLS to iOS clients?
If yes, how to connect to a+v stream and how to connect audio only stream in iOS ? (To be more precise - i would need two m3u8 files, how do i create them in the provided generator)
What about the need to provide multiple bitrates (for the audio), surely 64 isn't enough - multiple encoder machines or multiple encoder instances?

You are right. You don't need to provide multiple bitrate audio in the variant playlist. So while specifying on FMLE
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only&adbe-audio-stream-src=livestream1
set adbe-audio-stream-src to such a a+v stream that that audio bitrate of 64 kbps.
This will create 4 streams for you on FMS
livestream1, livestream2, livestream3, livestream1_audio_only
On encoders other than FMLE, where it is not supported to publish multiple streams with a single publish option, you may publish
1. livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only
2. livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent
3. livestream3?adbe-live-event=liveevent
This will create 4 streams for you on the FMS
livestream1, livestream2, livestream3, livestream1_audio_only
Yes, there is no point publishing audio only live stream corresponding to each a+v stream. Apple spec mandates only one audio only stream of 64kbps in variant playlist

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

VideoDisplay goes black screen (audio only)

Is there a work around or update that will help me with this
problem my VideoDisplay goes black screen (audio only) on flash
player 9,0,115,0 on windows only IE and Firefox. no matter what i
do i cannot figure out why after searching the web i found mutliple
blogs about the topic but no one has figure out a resolution or
workaround to this bug.
Recreate the issue publish .flv play progressive video in
videoDisplay component in flex app on windows with the above flash
player and refresh wait a second to see if its going to play and
sometimes it only plays audio.
sample link:
view
on windows with player 9,0,115,0

I found the codec at this link: http://www.matrox.com/video/support/ds/software/codec/messages/thanks.cfm. (You may have to register to see the page.)
So I ran the file and nuttin. I can't even see where it's on my machine. Or what changed afterwards. No change in QT's response, except that now it's a white screen instead of a black one!

RTMP Audio Only Streams and the BufferTrait

I'm encountering and issue when trying to access the bufferTrait of an RTMP stream that is audio only.
I can "getTrait" and it retrieves it, but when I try to adjust the bufferTime, it doesn't register any adjustments.
We have a custom buffering to our video streams, and for video streams it is correctly adjusting the bufferTime, but for audio only running through the same custom plugin, no adjustments to the BufferTime are being made, and I can't find a way to increase the buffer.
Is there is specific limitation on BufferTrait when dealing with Audio Only?
Thanks,
-Will

Did you try creating a BufferTrait variable and then assigning to the variable.bufferTime the new value?
Do you mind publishing your code to see if there is any problem with it, please.

How to package multibitrate live stream as audio-only for Apple compliance

Hi
From AMS documentation, I can package vod content as audio-only by appending "audio-only" to url for instance:
http://<ams server ip>/hls-vod/audio-only-aac/vod.m3u8
Similarly I can package live content (single bitrate) as audio-only for instance:
http://<ams server ip>/hls-live/audio-only-aac/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1.m3u8
In my case, I have 3 bitrates being published for a live audio-video event. The variant playlist for this event is created by hls_http module by refering to Manifest.xml.
I could not figure out a way to insert an audio-only stream to this variant playlist created by hls_http module for live stream.
Please let me know if I am missing something because this seems to be a pretty obvious requirement for live streaming to IOS devices.
Thanks,
Nitin

who can answer my question?Is the question a difficult one?

Capturing audio only in fcp5

I am rather new to Final Cut Pro 5 and have been trying to teach myself as I go along. I am, however, having trouble capturing audio seperate from video. I am shooting a 16mm film and need to capture audio and video to seperate files in order to synch them for edit. While I am able to capture straight video (i.e. without audio) I am unable to capture straight audio (i.e. without video in the same file). The only way that I have been able to capture audio is if some form of video is captured along with it. How can I capture an audio only file. I am using FCP 5 on a PowerBook G4 - capturing through a "Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge" with a Canon ZR 45 for video and a Sony TCD D8 portable DAT for audio. Any information is greatly appreciated and I patiently await your response(s).
Thank you,
Tayman Strahorn

My welcome also but, as a beginner, you really need to run the tutorials and learn how to use the resources you paid for when you got your applications.
Look in the online help system for audio only. Look in the manual index for audio only. Examine the chapter on capturing.
How are you doing Video Only if you don't understand the Clip Settings function or where it is located?
You can force DV to build separate audio and video files while capturing but it's not recommended (dunno why not). If you force separate files, you can simply delete the ones you don't want.

How can I stream the audio only to my Apple TV while watching the video on my iPad?

Hi everybody!
My question might sound a little confusing to some of you, but anyway: When I watch a video on my iPad (youtube app, facebook, etc.) I would like to watch the video on my iPad and stream the audio to my atv, which is connected to my hifi. Currently, every time I hit the airplay button both video AND audio will be streamed.
Many people complain about only streaming audio, but that's precisely what I am looking for! I don't want to turn on my TV for every silly 0:30 min youtube video. I would love to find something like this:
Cheers for any help!

you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

Getting the following message on Final Cut Express "audio only capture selected video preview disabled" how can I get the video capture back?

I'm getting the following message on screen when attempting to capture video "audio only capture selected, video preview disabled." How can I get the view preview back?

FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
Try trashing the FCE preferences.

Trying to Paste Attributes - AUDIO ONLY. I copy the clip I want - then click Paste Attributes - previously a box appeared with options - now nothing appears. Only happening with AUDIO attributes. Anyone else experiencing this?

I am trying to Paste Attributes of AUDIO ONLY - from one clip to another audio clip. These are the settings for the VOICE OVER on my 15 minute project. This has worked before. However now I copy the clip I want o use the attributes from - then I selct PASTE ATTRIBUTES. In the past a new dialogue box would appear and offer me the opportunity to select the attributes or effects I wanted to COPY and PASTE. Hoever now - there is NOTHING.
I also want to REMOVE the ATTRIBUTES from 287 clips - but apparently I can only do this one at a time? That seems like the most ridiculous thing in the world. Certainly this can't be true? Is there no way to remove ALL Attrributes from all of the clips at the same time?
Anyone? Anyone?

I cannot reproduce this. It is working as expected here: select a clip, copy, select another clip (or clips), paste attributes, and I get the usual window - this works for audio only clips as well as other clips.
I suggest you try deleting FCP X preferences with Preference Manager and try again.

Select the clips you want, and delete the effects in the Inspector by selecting and hitting the delete key.

Video no longer plays after adding 'effects', it's audio only

So I've used imovie 09 for months and everything has worked fine. Then today Iw as working on a video and added an effect to a clip and all **** broke loose. Now the video won't show up for every clip - it's audio only. I've tried closing imovie and restarting. I've even done a reinstall and EVERY other project and event works fine, it's just this particular video. I've created a whole new project, and even reimported all the video into a new event. But still when I add any effects to it, it'll play the title cards and the audio, but the video won't show up.
PLEASE HELP. Of course I have a deadline. Smh...

Try all these?
Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
CUTTING SO YOU ONLY SEE THE TROUBLESHOOTING THINGS
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.

IPod Clas. 80GB - What kind of dock to connect to home stereo (Audio only)

Hi Everyone,
I've been reading all sorts of threads about problems people have been having with the iPod classic (80GB) and dock compatibility. Do you have any recommendations for docks that will actually work ($50-$100 range)? I'm not that technologically savvy. I'm looking for the following:
*Dock to connect the iPod Classic 80GB to a home stereo/receiver
*Audio only - _no video/TV views needed_
*Charges the iPod while connected to the dock (without falling asleep as I hear they often do)
*Remote control (not critical to have the remote but it would be nice to have one that performs minimal actions such as volume control, on/off, skip to next song, etc.
Thanks so much for your help.

I assume that the other Sound Blaster cards like the Audigy models also have a 3.5mm jack for digital input. Has anyone tried feeding a coax SPDIF signal into it's And if so, how did you make the connection?
I am really stumped here. I bought the X-Fi specifically for use of its digital input capability. I would have gone with the next higher model which comes with the 5 /4" bay panel (and standard coax SPDIF jacks) but my PC does not have a 5.25" bay available.

Recording audio ONLY from a DVD into iTunes

Hi, I'm new to macs having just got an iMac G5. So far I love it and it's loads better than any windows based system I've had. I'm wondering if it is possible to record the audio only from some music DVD's I have into iTunes...can anyone help or is this simply not possible?

Audio Hijack also creates large files, size-wise. This can be a problem if you are working with putting music on audio cds. Google "ripdifferent" for a site that discusses various methods of legally backing up legally purchased media. The gray area here actually has to do with breaking encryption- under US copyright law, users have always been allowed to make a single back-up (Fair Use) of any recorded media they have purchased. It is possible that media companies are, themselves, in violation of copyright law by making it difficult to make said backups by encrypting their media. Also, copying (ripping, recording, etc.) any DVD in any way would seem to be covered by the warning at the start of all DVDs (including soundtracks), which would include Audio Hijack, for instance. This all came about when the digital revolution made it possible to create exact copies. Back in the day, copying an LP to cassette, for instance, was not considered a problem, because you would lose a generation. BTW, ripping music DVDs can be problematic, as they are mastered differently than are "movies," and some Mac ripping programs have difficulty with them. Proceed cautiously and consider legal ramifications, but also consider retaining YOUR legal rights as well.

Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5 Create Storyline with Audio-Only Clips in order to add crossfade transition.

Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.5 – How to Create Storyline with audio-only clips. I'm following exercises in Diana Weynand's Pro Training Series, and this function is greyed out. Trying to create crossfade transition. New Compound Clip can be activated however.

Chapter 7. Page 269. Exploring Audio Transitions. Selecting two audio clips, then control-clicking the clips. The dropdown menu to Create Storyline or (Command G) is greyed out. The function no longer seems to be available. I've found other functions that no longer apply with the latest version in relation to the book, and I assume that this is another one. But I'm trying to follow the book the best I can. I know there's a workaround. I can simply select an edit point and add the cross dissolve (Command T), but I wonder if this accomplishes the requested exercise from the book.
