Speech Audio Setting Effects Timing

I'm having a timing issue when using the speech setting in
the audio settings.
If I use the "mp3" setting for the audio setting in the
publish dialogue, my narration (which is set to stream - not event,
so synch should stay tight), timing is just as I designed it.
However, if I set the audio setting to "speech" (in order to bring
the .swf file size down), the timing goes way astray. Nothing else
changes (the audio files are still set to stream, not event), and
yet the audio loses its critical timing.
Anyone else run into this problem, and more importantly, is
there a fix?

I think you've stumbled over a bug, or at least a use case that nobody in the Captivate design team considered when they were working out how Effects should be applied and timed (how to time something when you don't know how long it will be displayed for).
Essentially what the Effects need is the equivalent of the setting on other objects to Display for Rest of Slide. We need a way to Apply Effect for Duration of Object, regardless of what that duration might be.
You should log a Bug/Enhancement request for this.

How do I set up timed access control for a time past midnight

I would like to set up timed access control for a number of my devices that would stretch past midnight... An open network from 6AM to 2AM - effectively only blocking access from 2AM tp 6AM in the morning....
Any notion on how to do this? the timed factily does not like the setting to enable 6A to 2A, says the times are invalid.
Setting up timed access from 6AM to 11:59P, then doing another from 12A to 2A causes a service "hiccup" of 1 Minute.

Set up each device as follows:
Everyday........Between.......6:00 AM and 11:59 PM
Add a second rule for each device that will state....
Everyday.....Between.......12:00 AM and 2:00 AM
You might think that there would be a one minute break between 11:59 PM and 12:00 AM, but that will not be the case, at least on every AirPort that I have ever programmed.. Reason.....11:59 is really 11:59:59:59 turning off at 12:00 AM. But, you have a second rule to allow access at 12:00 AM, so the AirPort will be "on" at the same time the first rule ends, so there will be no break.
If you really want the second rule to turn the AirPort "off" at 2:00 AM.......then set that time for 1:59 AM. If you set the rule for 2:00 AM, then AirPort will really turn off at 2:01 AM.

After encoding a sequence, music audio (Track 1) is fine, but speech audio (Track 2) is sped up and crackling.

Hello forumites,
So I've run into an odd problem I haven't experienced before. I exported my docu film last night. I have my music audio on A1 and speech audio on A2 in the timeline. When reviewing it, the music audio plays back fine, but the speech audio is playing back slightly fast (resulting in a bit of a chipmunk effect) and it's crackling (possibly because of the speed-up). The video appears to be in sync with this weird speed-up.
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro and the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Although this is happening on two different systems, here are my computer specs.
PC 1:
Custom built desktop
CPU: FX-8350 4 GHz
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R.2
Memory: 16 GB DDR3
SSD: 256 GB Samsung 840 EVO (Primary)
HDD: 2 TB WD Red (Data)
GPU: 2x Radeon 6950 (CrossFireX mode)
PC 2:
ASUS G53S laptop
CPU: Core i7-2830QM 2 GHz
Memory: 6 GB DDR3
SSD: 120 GB Crucial M4 (Primary)
HDD: Seagate 500 GB (Data)
GPU: GeForce 460M
I did a bit of troubleshooting and thought that perhaps I nested sequences too many times. So, I did a few test renders from the ground up on each sequence where the nesting gets deeper. I got up to two nesting levels (where one sequence has a nested sequence which contains a nested sequence - Sequence-ception ) with all audio rendered normally.
However, the next nesting level resulted in the audio issue. So, I copied and pasted the timeline from the previous sequence to the current sequence, overwriting the nested timeline. Oddly enough, it still caused the problematic audio, which has me thinking that it's not related to nested sequences after all.
Keep in mind that playback inside Premiere works fine. I even created a new sequence from scratch into which to paste the timeline. Also, encoding using different codecs didn't make a difference. Of course, I also did the basic things and updated my video card drivers, restarted my computer, uninstalled/reinstalled Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, and tried encoding without GPU hardware acceleration.
Here are some 5-second DNxHD renders to get a grasp of what the results are.
Double Nested: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0xp50qbm48gjupd/Double%20Nested.mxf?dl=0 (Good audio)
Triple Nested: Dropbox - Triple Nested.mxf (Bad audio)
I should probably mention that I configured symbolic links to remap the Users folder to my data drive, as that has been known to cause some problems with Windows, but I made sure to link all the assets in my project using the actual file paths rather than the symlinks. Also, I've been rendering other projects prior to the previous patch with this setup and didn't experience any issues.
Has this happened to anybody else as well? I did some searching for this issue but I'm apparently the only one. I'm just hoping this is some weird bug introduced in the last patch.

That may be so, but why even have that feature if one can't even take full advantage of it? I'll be asking Adobe that if I don't get many suggestions or input here.
Thanks for responding, though!

Media Encoder (AMC) F4V - none of the video setting effect file size????

When I used to use sorenson squeeze, mov i could get a web flick down to 15 MB by reducing frame rate or size.
when using AMC - F4V - no matter what size or settings the same movie satays at about 34MB (with olny slight varistions if i tweek audio)
How do i get the file size smaller if none of the video setting effect file size????

In the limited amount of comparison testing I've done, I've found that 2-pass VBR files are consistently smaller than CBR files, all other things being equal. They're not always a great deal smaller, but they've never exceeded the size of the CBR files, and this goes for any type of encoding I've done, whether it's MPEG-2 for a DVD, or a web format like WMV, FLV (VP6), or H.264. This seems to be true even when the target and the maximum bitrate for the 2-pass VBR files match the bitrate "quantity" of the target bitrate of the 1-pass CBR files, and I've noticed this in any encoding application I use, whether it's AME, Sorenson Squeeze, or TMPGEnc Xpress. When analyzing my VBR-encoded files using an application such as MediaInfo, the average bitrate that is reported is never even close to my max bitrate, and is usually well under my target bitrate.
I see two reasons for this:
If you're encoding with CBR and set your bitrate at 1000kbps, for instance, the encoder will simply allocate 1000kbps of bandwidth (divided by the frame rate) to each and every frame of video, regardless of how complex or simple each frame is. Each frame will be compressed to as near 1000kbps (divided by the framerate) as possible. Using CBR, you can more or less estimate the end file size by multiplying the bitrate by the duration in seconds. Think of it as filling a series of water glasses: with CBR, you fill each glass full, regardless of how much each individual actually wants to drink.
If you're encoding with 2-pass VBR and set your maximum bitrate to 1000kbps and (for argument's sake) your target bitrate to 1000kbps as well, the encoder will use the first pass to figure out how much available bandwidth is needed at each individual point of time, and that writes that to a log file that the second pass of the encoder then uses to properly allocate those available bits to the frames that need them the most. If a particular passage of the video can be encoded at a lower bitrate, and still maintain a prescribed level of visual quality, the encoder will simply put the squeeze on a little more. Back to our water glass analogy from above, this is the equivalent of filling each water glass with only as much water as each individual wants.
For example, using the max/target bitrate set above, a low-motion/low-complexity passage of video may be able to be encoded at only 500kbps and yet maintain the visual quality of 1000kbps. This results in a fewer bytes needed to encode that particular duration of the video, and usually there are multiple sections in a video that can be treated as such. This has a cumulative effect and subsequently results in a final encoded video that has a smaller file size than it would had it be encoded at the same bitrate, but with CBR encoding.
I'm not a software engineer or mathemagician, so I can't back all this up with empirical evidence, but in real-world practice, these have been my observations. Long story short: I always use 2-pass VBR for web-distributed encodes, and enjoy both smaller and better-looking files, at the expense of a coffee break.

FCP 7.0.3 Easy Setup audio setting issues

I have created two custom Easy Setups.
SD:     DVCPro50 PAL with audio set @ 48.000 kHz, 16-bit, 16 chan
HD:     DVCProHD 1080i 25fps with audio set @ 48.000kHz, 24-bit, 16 chan
I open FCP, load the SD easy setup. I then click on Audio/Video settings.
Select "Audio/Video Settings" and view "Capture Presets Summary"
     - Audio format is listed as 48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
     - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
          - Device: AJA Kona 3
          - Format: 48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
If I then select the HD Easy Setup, and then "Audio/Video Settings"
Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
     - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
          - Device: AJA Kona 3
          - Format: 48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan (THIS SHOULD BE 24-bit)
Select the "A\V Device" tab:
The audio device has defaulted to the 16 bit setting as well.
It appears that FCP or AJA is keeping the audio bitrate from the previous Easy Setup.
Even if we close FCP completely, and reopen into a new project, load the HD Easy Setup, the bit rate still shows as 16.
I have tried deleting the following:
apple.finalcutpro.plist
Final Cut User Data Folder
Thanks,
Mike

The camera definitely recorded in SP, that icon was visible on the viewfinder...
What settings should i be using in FCP to capture the video? From attempted research i found most comments suggesting to use a basic Firewire settings. i have used this in PAL format but the results are poor.
One thing I am confused about is the 32khz or 48khz settings. Which should i be using? I have an older version of FCE 4 where there are many settings for both 32khz and 48khz for DV FireWire but in FCP7 there are only options for 48khz.
Any advice would be welcomed at the moment.
I am also willing to upload clips of what I have to demonstrate visually the poor quality video I am capturing from the Canon

How does Core Audio set sample rate?

When I play a particular movie in QuickTime, the audio and video are out of sync. The movie plays fine on other computers.
This Mac Pro (OS 10.6.8) is used exclusively for Pro Tools and Final Cut Pro. The audio hardware is a Pro Tools HD Native card:
Native card --> Pro Tools Digital I/O boxes --> Lavry D/A converters --> monitors
The sample rate of the Digital I/O boxes is set by an external master clock, a Lavry Gold A/D converter.
I opened the DigiDesign Core Audio Manager and it says:
Connected @ 44.1K, 32 In/32 Out, Buffer Size 512
Yet the movie is at 48K (I know because I created it in Final Cut Pro), and the external clock is set at 48K. So, I don't know where the 41K in the Digidesign Core Audio Manager came from. This is why I am guessing the problem is sample rate.
Please help me understand what sets the sample rate.
Does the application using Core Audio set it?
If so, how is this made consistent with the sample rate set for the hardware by the external master clock?
Do I have to be sure I always change the external clock setting to be consistent with the movie being played?
BTW, I have not had a sync problem when I play video in Final Cut Pro..........it is always in sync. So, I have never worried about how Core Audio works. The sync problem is only with QuickTime.

Well, here is more information:
- I reinstalled QuickTime 7 and did many other things (trashed preferences,etc)
- I set the audio hardware (Pro Tools/HD Native card) to 48k
- I checked the Digi CoreAudio Manager and it said "Connected at 44.1K", even though the hardware was set to 48K
- I played the problem videos, and all are now in sync
- I check the Digi CoreAudio Manager and it still says 44.1K
- I checked the hardware and it is now set to 44.1K
I know that the videos are 48K, because I created them in Final Cut Pro X.
Does this mean that QuickTime 7 always converts videos to 44.1K, regardless of their sample rate?

Which Audio Setting for MPEG share for use on PC or burning to DVD???

I just "shared" a movie (a slide and video show with soundtrack edited on Premier Elements 8) to "Use for playback on this PC or burning to DVD" (created an MPEG). The audio export didn't work though. I used the NTSC DVD Standard preset that gives the 192 kbps, 48 kHz, Dolby Digital audio setting. Is this the setting I should use, or is there another audio setting that would work? There is just silence on the end product. Thanks for any help.

Now, are you burning to a DVD-data, or to a DVD-Video?
If the latter, then you can either Burn to Disc from PrE, or can Burn to Folder, and then use Roxio, Nero, or the great, free burning utility, ImgBurn to do the physical Burn.
Some time back, WMP had the DVD playability disabled for all burned DVD-Videos. Not sure if MS has added that back in. To the best of my knowledge, WMP has no burning capabilities in it, but could be wrong with the newest versions.
Hope someone else has ideas, and a better knowledge of most recent versions of WMP.
Good luck,
Hunt

"ad hoc" audio setting?

Using Powershell to set Multiple timed.servers with variables

Having an issue using PowerShell to set 3 timed.servers which are defined in a variable. Running the commands: $TimeServers = "IPaddress1,IPaddress2,IPaddress3"Set-NaOption -OptionName timed.servers -OptionValue $TimeServers Thanks in advance!

Hi, The Set-NaOption CmdLet -optionvalue parameter expects a string and it shouldn't matter if that's a comma delimited string containing multiple IP Addresses. I noticed that whilst the cmdlet thows an error it does actually set the option value for all servers so this seems like it could be a bug (IMO). It might be possible to invoke the API using "Invoke-NaSystemApi" but I checked the ZAPI and noticed this also fails using ZExplore from the SDK: ZAPI Request: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<netapp xmlns="http://www.netapp.com/filer/admin" version="1.21">

    <value>192.168.100.10,192.168.100.11,192.168.100.12</value>
</options-set>
</netapp> ZAPI Results: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

       <message>1 entry was deleted.
</message>
   </results>
</netapp> So i think the options are either using the "Set-NaOption" cmdlet with the -SilentlyContinue parameter or the "Invoke-NaSsh" cmdlet with -ErrorAction stop.As a work around i'd recommend something like: [String]$servers = "192.168.100.10,192.168.100.11,192.168.100.12"
[String]$command = "options timed.servers $servers"
Try{
   Invoke-NaSsh -Command $command -ErrorAction Stop
   Write-Host "Executed Command: $command"
}Catch{
   Write-Warning -Message $("Failed Executing Command: $command. Error " + $_.Exception.Message)
} Hope that helps /matt

Placing an Audio Spectrum Effect on top of a video.

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the audio spectrum effect on top of a video layer. That is, the video is playing while there is an audio visualizer *on top* of it. My goal is to produce a video podcast, but add some style to it by having each podcast member have their voice synced to an audio visualizer while there are video clips playing in the background.
Is this possible with After Effects, or any of Adobe's products at all? Every time I place an audio spectrum effect on, I can hear the audio of my video clips, but the visualizer refuses to show on top of anything other than the black background that appears the moment I activate the effect.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Place the audio in the comp and then add a solid layer. (comp size)
Next, go to Effects, Generate, "Audio Spectrum" or "Audio Waveform" depending on what you'd like.
You can apply the waveform directly to the video layer, but placing it on a separate layer allows separate adjustment of both layers independently.
There are quite a few parameters that can be adjusted, however the defaults should be fine for most things.
Here's a nice tutorial on the effect:

Audio setting option appears on New look Vsion

Has anyone else noticed this, if you disconnect your Broadband line from your New Look Vision box an Audio Setting box appears in Settings to set the S/PDIF output to Dolby 5:1 or Stereo. It promptly disappears when you re-connect your line.

When you click the first continue button, hold down the option key while clicking. It will then go to the manual setup where you can choose the type of account.
It is trying to use Exchange because that's what it thinks the email server is, based on what you entered as your email address.

Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects?

Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects? It's never done this before, but this is driving me nuts. I'm almost finished with this project, I can't have this kind of stuff happening now.

Forgive me. I'm just stressing hardcore at the moment.
Specs:
OS X 10.9.4
2.8 GHz intel
Premiere 5.5
exporting cell phone video which has been treated with effects and layered with other clips from cell phone video, then nested as one single video clip, now trying to export as H.264 (DV 24fps)
Full disclosure: I am an amateur so if you need more info just tell me and I'll produce it if I can. I should note though, I've done this before with no problem. However the settings may have been different (still getting the hang of the whole 'settings' thing, to be honest). It's very possible that the problem in this case is the operator, in other words.

FCP audio sound effects?

Does anyone know where I can get audio sound effects to use with fcp effects. Swoosh,bangs etc....
Thanks

Soundtrack comes with loads of them. Also check out Garage Band's effects if you have it installed, here: Hard Drive/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects.

Audio special effects in Pr12

I'm back! I want to add the "reverb" audio special effect to an audio clip I have. [using Premiere Elements 12 on a WinPro7 computer]. This is what I've done:
click on the audio clip
open special effects and open audio special effects
click on 'reverb' (the outline is now blue) and drag the reverb box onto the audio clip.
The effect is on/in the clip (can check it with 'adjust special effects'), BUT when the clip is played, there is a ratcheting noise. I have tried the "delay" effect as a diagnostic tool, and it added just fine. It's just not the effect I want.
Ideas any one?
Thank you.

Hello,
I'm sorry to have waited so long to reply. I guess the holidays got in the way....and, football. And, now I have 3 topics.
ONE
I tried MANY things about the REVERB effect with no success....either (1) I could not hear that the reverb was working (and, I've used it before in Pr4 and could tell a difference) or (2) that ratcheting noise was still there.
The main thing I did was create new (test) Pr12 files with only the audio that was the problem or with other audios [i.e. songs 'ripped' from purchased CDs, purchased songs from iTunes (either MP3 or WAV formats), sound effects I have from many various sources, including the ones that come with Pr12]. No help. Soooo, if I MUST have reverb on an audio clip, I think I'll just use my XP machine and its Pr4 and then export that audio clip to use in the Pr12 file...if that works, and I think it would. Thank you for that help.
TWO
To continue a thread we had about file size and DVD disc capacity.....I have included 2 screen shots....the first one is to show the file size I just burned on a 4.7 GB DVD.
You can see that the file is 5.587 GB.
Now, here is what the screen showed me in Pr12 when I was preparing to burn the disc.....notice that the "fit contents" box is UNchecked, and I slid the button to the right for HIGHEST quality. Notice it says "space required" is 1.64 GB. This is what I was trying to get across when several of us were discussing "file size" vs disc capacity. Does this mean I can put more on a given disc? That would be cool if I could.
THREE
And, last but not least, is there a way to reduce the volume of the MENU volume if it comes with its own audio? I am using "Outdoor Adventure", and its volume is INTENSE versus what I have mixed in the file. I have looked in my Pr manual, but it doesn't say much. I guess I should first look in the forum for the answer to this, but I'm spoiled with your terrific help.
Have a good day, and thank you.

Unapplying Audio FX effect

Is it possible to undo an Audio FX effect on single audio clips? I know I can click the undo button, but suppose I want to come back later and undo the effect after I've clicked saved numerous times? "Revert to original" doesn't appear to apply to audio clips.
By the way, I've found that Audio FX effects render faster if you first extract the audio from it adjoining video clip.
Thanks any and all feedback and/or work arounds for this. Audio FX seems pretty useful, especially the noise reduction and the reverb--if done correctly--to boost the sound. Of course, this is my first time working with these type of audio effects in digital editing.
