Quicktime X not seeing audio track in MPEG IMX 625/50 movie file.

Quicktime X is not seeing the audio track in MPEG IMX 625/50 movie files that I generate elsewhere. This is evident by the fact that Quicktime X player will not play the audio track or report that it exists and likewise in FCP X. However Quicktime 7 Player will play the audio track. What's more, the preview pane play option on the movie file icon will actually play back the audio track in the preview mode. Any ideas?

Ok, I have posted 2 images. One is the of the movie inspector from Quicktime 7 Player which shows the audio track properties for BARS.mov. The other is the movie inspector properties for Quicktime X for BARS.mov. As can be seen, Quicktime X Player does not detect the audio track which is present.
I'm not sure how to make the BARS.mov file available. It's only 10MB.

  • MPEG IMX 625/50 codec problems CS5

    Hi All,
    I have some .mov files that were shot on an Arri Alexa (720x576 25i native), recorded onto sxs cards, transfered to a mac then copied via portable hard drive to a pc.  Problem is, the files play fine on a MAC but with the exception of VLC, nothing on the PC will play them - not even Quicktime!  QT says they are in  mpeg imx 625/50 format.  Can anyone tell me how to import them into CS5 so I can edit them on the PC.  Windows 7 x64.
    Thanks.

    Hi JS,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I can do but they're big files (about 2 to 3 gigs each - long takes!) so would take a while.  I'd have to do it tomorrow now coz they're on a hard drive at the office.

  • FCPX not seeing video track of rewrapped MTS files

    I accidentally formatted an SD card containing AVHDC files that I needed, so I used a data rescue program to rescue the MTS files. Getting them into FCPX has been very trying. I used Smart Converter to "rewrap" the files as .mov, and Quicktime can read both audio and video, but for several of the files, FCPX only imports the audio track. I tried several different conversion programs, and even used a program to create an archive directly from the MTS files, but FCPX is refusing to see the video track on several important clips. Since Quicktime can read the video, I know it's there, but how can I get FCPX to see it? Thanks in advance for any help, I have been ripping my hair out over this one...

    The fewer times video is "stepped on" the better so, I do want it to leave the original video alone if at all possible. Audio... don't really care. Most 44.1/128kbps stuff is good enough for me (partial hearing loss...) but, I am meticulous, so all my audio is at least 48kHz 24 bit AIFF for production. FCPX does quite well with AAC, but obviously it should be analyzed and fixed on import... it is not an editing format. *My* camcorder exports AVC/AAC audio. AAC is usually an MPEG-4 Audio format and pretty much the current standard for AVCHD video.
    I have never seen SC Pro change the frame rate. However, I do know several consumer grade camcorders actually "lie" about their frame rates. Everything is shot at 59.94 and "interpolated" to the "advertised" optional framerates of 24 or 30 (technically: 23.98 / 29.97 p) if those options are selected by the camcorder user. If the video is 1080 -- it's 60i -- it doesn't matter what framerate you think you set (gotta read the fine print on these cameras!) 720 is actually 60p. SD is 60i interpolated down to (usually) 30i (and some cameras have the option of 30p.) So, Smart Converter must be seeing the original h.264/AVC video in it's native format when passing it through as 59.94 interlaced. That is not a bad thing. However, in FCPX, a 1080 project should be manually set up for 29.97p and have the 1080/60i media conformed to the 30p framerate.
    PS - I've actually seen perceptible color changes/loss of dynamic range after using ClipWrap (it was trying to do a transcode...) so, not convinced. Quicktime 7 Pro is the best app to use IF it can open and play the original video. Every conceivable/available export option (depending on system installed codecs) is available, so ProRes + Apple Lossless (AIFF) audio conversion and considerably less trouble to use (and 20 bucks cheaper) than Compressor. Unfortunately, it is no longer included with the OS and part of the FCP toolbox [free "Pro" activation when installing FCP Studio — which is too bad].  The best scenario is having FCPX import/ingest the original video without the use of a extra or third party app. That is, however, not really an option for the OP.

    When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
    The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
    You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
    On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
    So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
    1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
    2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
    I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
    Best wishes,

  • I Just received the update to iTunes, when I I look at the screen I do not see the normal icons.  When I select movies I do not get the new downloads unless i select the list in the sub file. How do I get backto the old method of seeing and using iTunes??

    I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account?  I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

  • MPEG IMX 625/50 export from FCPX

    Hi,
    is there a way to export to IMX 50 (MPEG IMX 625/50) from FCPX directly or by sending it to Compressor 4 ?
    FCPX manual says that it can work with IMX files but I cannot find a way to export to it. I have also looked through Compressor 4 manual and can't see this export option either. Please help.

    Hi Tom,
    maybe I am missing something here but I cannot see an 'export' menu in FCPX.
    I've looked through the entire interface with no luck. I only see that share timeline range button:
    which has really limited options to choose from.
    In the File menu I only have the Export XML... Please don't mind if this is something obvious but I am still learning the whole new interface, which by the way is simply awesome!

  • Failing to add audio track on mpeg file

    Hi and thanks for all good answers the recent days. I'm a new and happy user of PRE8. I'm just about to finish an hour long movie. This is when a serious problem occurs in adding the last movie material to work with.
    All thru the project I've added mpeg files without any problems. (Yes I have now started to import these files as AVI with a much better result (less stress on the process) as I have been told to do here). The way I have done this is to add the mpeg files, then saved them for personal computer as AVI and opened them in a new project, cutted them finished and opened them in the original main project file. This has worked well.
    But the very last mpeg file I am going to add came into PRE project without it's audio track. The audio track exists. It plays in media player. But does not join the video track into PRE.
    Is the only solution here to import the file from the camera-dvd?
    Best regards, kjetil, norway

    Use Windows Movie Maker or Prism outside of PE to first convert the suspect file to DV-AVI.
    See the FAQ on where to get Prism, WMM should also be on your system, or can be found at www.microsoft.com:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
    Once converted, test file outside PE and make sure it plays okay.
    Then import the DV-AVI into PE.
    This might get you to the promised land...

  • Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

    I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12.  Imported a project that I had created with PE 9.  Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks.  But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
    Any idea what can cause this?

    With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
    Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
    Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
    Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
    Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
    I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
    Good luck,

  • I captured from mini-dv camcorder to FCP7 using control from my computer and firewire. I cannot find the file or clips I transferred anywhere except for in Finder. How do I get the clips from Finder to FCP7. Also I did not see audio on the computer meters

    I captured from mini-dv camcorder to FCP7 using control from my computer. I only find the capture clip in Finder. How do I get the clip in Finder to FCP7.
    Also my audio in the capture was not showing up on my audio meters on my computer-is this normal. Thanks

    you will not see the audio meters from within fcp move while capturing. 
    If you only see the captured clip in the finder, not within fcp, there's something wrong.  You might try deleting your fcp preferences

  • N80 - Music Player does not see new tracks in musi...

    I updated my N80 with the latest firmware last week. I recently added fur new tracks to my phone. I can see the track in the gallery under tracks but when I go to the music player, and into the music library the tracks are not there, even if i say update music library it tells me 0 tracks updated/added. Please help.

    To the guys who posted earlier... have you found the solution for this problem?
    My N80 has been updating fine until two days ago when i uploaded new songs... the tracks get in but the music library doesn't update these new tracks in, it would register 0 added tracks then after the update it would say that there are no tracks in at all... you need to get out of the music player first & reenter it to see the tracks that were already there before the new ones... if i try to remove tracks, the update works fine & would record the removed tracks... what is wrong????
    Please somebody, help!

  • Quicktime does not play audio

    I've found that since upgrading to Lion, that some .mov files do not play the audio soundtrack when you play them in Quicktime 10.1.
    Audio is fine in Quicktime Player 7
    Is this a bug with Lion?

    Some third party software can change the default settings in the Audio MIDI setup.
    Open the app (found in your Utilities folder) and change the audio output settings to 44100Hz and try the file again.

  • Multicam not cutting audio tracks

    Hi there,
    I'm cutting in multicam, but only the video tracks are being cut. The audio track is left untouched. Any thoughts on how to cut both?
    Cheers

    I've tried blowing away A1 and A2 from the cam 1 merged clip, putting the location sound at A1, and using that master clip to create the multiclip, but to no avail. Still out of sync< </div>
    Loyed's got way more experience with multicam than most of us so it's safe to follow his lead.
    Not knowing exactly what's going on (sorry if you've already tried this), I'd sync up the audio and then export the newly merged clip as a self-contained movie. Reimport.
    Hope you figure it out. Please return and post your solution for the benefit of those who come after seeking help with multiclips.

  • FC not seeing audio file

    This is going t drive me nutty....
    When I go to import a music file, FC can only see artist files, I have created an audio file with the same name as my FC project but, FC does not see this file..
    Is there something I'm doing wrong and or missing ??
    Thanks

    *I'm assuming you're locating these particular songs by using the Finder, and not just navigating inside of iTunes?*
    That would be correct
    *What kind of file are you talking about? When did iTunes give you the option of creating custom song files? Are you talking about a custom playlist?*
    Not a playlist, I created a folder,then named this folder the same as my FC project.Then dragged the music for the FC project into the folder.
    *What file are you talking about? Can you provide an extension for reference?*
    My mistake, not file but folder in ITunes
    *Where are you looking for these "files"? In iTunes or the Finder?*
    From my FC browser ; import > folder > music > ITunes > ITunes Music > list of music folders. now it is here I see the list of all the artists music folders, however the folder I created does not show.
    *It sounds like you're creating a playlist in iTunes, then trying to import that playlist in Final Cut. Why not just right-click on the song in iTunes, then select "Reveal in Finder", then drag that file into your FCE Browser?*
    It's not a playlist, it's a folder in ITunes. as I said I can import the song from my library just fine. I just thought that surely there would be a way to import the folder of audio, rather than one song at a time ..
    Sorry for all the confusion guys.

  • Quicktime does not play audio anymore

    Hi everyone.
    I'm experiencing this weird problem on every quicktime movie I open, both streaming and saved movies.
    Anyone knows how to fix this without reinstalling everything?
    Thanx.

    Some third party software can change the default settings in the Audio MIDI setup.
    Open the app (found in your Utilities folder) and change the audio output settings to 44100Hz and try the file again.

  • Can't export quicktime with 5.1 audio track - help

    I have a very unusual problem that I am running into.
    A festival has asked for a Pro Res Screener vs a DCP like I am used to with a 5.1 audio mix.
    No problem I figure, I grab the 6 individual audio tracks from our sound guy, mastered as 5.1 L,R,C,LF,SL,SR.
    I create a new sequence, lay in my Video track and the 6 audio tracks from track 1 - 6 in the same order as above.
    I setup my sequence the first time to be a 5.1 sequence, with 5.1 tracks.
    I set each track according to it's placement with the little 5.1 diagram in each track.
    I export using pro res, and set the audio to 5.1, L,R,C,LF,SL,SR
    I figure at this point all should be good. I bring the renderd file back into premiere to check the file and create a new sequence directly from the new file.
    I get 1 video track with a 5.1 audio track.
    This is where things get weird. There are 5 channels in the track, however the left and right tracks have a mixture of L,R,and C, there is no audio in the C track, no audio in the LF track, very slight audio in the SL track and no audio in the SR track.
    What is going on?
    I have tried exporting this now about 10 different ways. Figuring that the audio tracks were all mono tracks I tried to set them up as individual mono tracks 1-6 and I just end up with a 5.1 track that has mixed L,R and no audio in any of the different channels.
    I've searched the web and I'm going crazy with this. i'm about to send the project off to have it digitally mastered by someone else. this is quite ridiculous.
    Has anyone experienced this problem before? I figure I have to be setting up something wrong? but what? how come there are no 5.1 templates in premiere to work from?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I really hate to send this project off to someone else for such a seemingly simple task. Seriously, this is making DCP creation like a walk in the park!

    Richard, thank you so much for that link. That seems to have done the trick, at least 95%. I have successfully routed all tracks to a single 5.1 file that can now be successfully exported... however, even after following his invert track trick, I am still getting nothing in my LFE track. How on earth do you rout that LFE track? Has it changed in premiere CC 2014?
