Speeding up audio with Time Stretch for FCP

Hello Everyone.
I have an audio clip that I send to Studio Pro via Final Cut Pro through File>send to>Soundtrack Pro Audio File.
The clip is 29:24:08 in Final Cut. I need it to shrink to 29:22:23 in order to sync up with some video.
In S.P. I use the time scale process to shrink the clip the clip.
I select the audio clip and go to Process>time scale.
S.P asks what is the new duration of the clip so I ender
29:22:23 and drop frame.
It thinks about it for a few minutes and appears to complete the process.
When I go back into FCP the audio needs rendered, which I do. When it's done the clip is still at 29:24:08... no scaling has been done. The audio is still out of sync?
What am I am I missing? I've looked online and done a few tutorials since I'm new to S.P. but fairly good with FCP. I cannot seem to find the answer.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

If you haven't already:
1. in STP: Process>flatten all actions
2. also in STP apple-S to save. The FCP timeline does not update until you save your changes within STP.

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

I needed a 2tb hard drive for my new iMac whats the best to work with time machine for around £100

Any suggestions about the best 2 tb hard drive to work with my imac,compatible with time machine for around £100

There is no such thing as "best" and "inexpensive", you either want one or the other but you cannot get both. IMHO I'd recommend OWC's Mercury Elite Pro (www.macsales.com) however because you are on the other side of the pond you may want to consider a Lacie product. High quality, not cheap but good stuff for the most part.

Choppy or Digitized Audio w Time Stretch

Hi Guys,
I've got some audio I've been chopping and time stretching (voiceover to replace a video with poor audio). The VO was recorded in a 96kHz 24bit WAV file, and sounds great when I first played it. However, after I've been chopping (with the blade tool) and timestretching in STP, I'm finding that the audio now sounds digitized or choppy.
Does anyone know what's happening here and what I can do to fix it?
You can get a better idea of my process here. . .
Thanks,
Lawrence

Varispeed only works on the Masterbus, the final output of all tracks. Bouncing the output leaves you a 2-track master.
It's not an easy task because for one, your software tracks are MIDI based, their output is indeed audio but input is MIDI. To use Varispeed you would have to individually bounce each track/take, a mammoth job.
Perhaps someone can help you with Flex which may be you're best bet but is something I don't use very often.

Backup with Time Machine for 6 iMacs

I want to to use an external drive to backup with Time Machine my 6 iMac's. I know that Time Capsule is good for this kind of stuff but I would prefer to be able to plug my Storage Device with an Ethernet cable. And Time Capsule is offering 2 or 3 TB, I would need minimum 5 TB. Any idea what should I buy and what is good for that purpose?
Thanks a lot

Time Capsule has 3 Eth ports so only 3 iMacs via cable.
You can do it with two 3TB Time Capsules if you wish.
With 6 iMacs you may need to think about small business solution.
On Mac networks we use Gigabit switches and NAS drives such as Buffalo TeraStation III 8TB on RAID5.
Those support Apple Time Machine, have dual Gigabit Eth port which can be trunked with manageable switches and all works very well and fast.
There are many scenarios you may want to consider.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding the above setup.

How to backup with Time Machine for complete clean reinstall of OS

My iMac has been getting slower and slower as the months go by and with each new software update. It used to be a lot faster than this when it was new.
I'm thinking the best solution might be to do a complete clean reinstall of the OS. My question is, if I have Time Machine backing up of all the users Documents, Email, Address, Book, iTunes Library, and iPhoto Library files, can I just go ahead and blow away everything on the machine? That is, after reinstallation, can I just plug in the hard drive, turn on Time Machine and get all those data files back in the right place without difficulty?
Or am I better off meticulously and manually moving the appropriate files/directories to an external harddrive and then fitting them all back into place manually afterwards?
(NOTE: I used to have to do a clean re-installation of XP every year or so to keep the system nice and snappy -- it would invariably get slower and slower over time. Since I got my iMac (Tiger) I had never had this creeping slowness problem, why is it happening now with Leopard?)

slegge,
This might give you some ideas.
Using Time Machine to Restore You Entire System
Q: Can I restore my Mac from a Time Machine backup?
A: Yes, you have several options: (In all cases Mac OS 10.5 Leopard is required as previous OS X versions will not work with Time Machine backups.)
*Full Restore Via Migration Assistant & Time Machine*
You can use the installation DVDs that came with your Mac and reinstall Leopard (Mac OS 10.5). During the installation process you will be asked if you would like to Migrate data over from your Time Machine backups. The advantage here is that you start with fresh system software. The disadvantage is that you may lose many of the personal preferences/settings that had been established with the previous system. But this may be only a minor inconvenience to reestablish these. Depending on whether you choose to migrate your applications over as well, you may be required to reinstall any 3rd-party software or standalone Apple programs. Don’t forget to run Software Update once the initial installation is complete to bring your system up to date. Using Disk Utility at this point to repair any permissions issues is advised as well.
*Full Restore Via Time Machine Only*
Alternatively, you can use the installation DVDs to do a full system restore. Insert the installation DVD. When the welcome window appears, go to the Utilities menu and select “Restore System From Backup…” and choose the drive that your Time Machine backups are on. Then select the date of the backup you would like to restore from. This will completely erase your internal drive and restore your system to a relatively same condition it was in on the date of the backup you choose. (See this article for a list of files that TM does not restore, http://shiftedbits.org/2007/10/31/time-machine-exclusions/) The advantage here is that you retain many of the personal preferences/settings that had been established with the previous system. Additionally, no further installation of 3rd-party software is required. The disadvantage is that BECAUSE you retain many of the personal preferences, settings, and system files that had been present with the previous system, you run the risk of reintroducing problems you experienced with the previous installation, including any issues that necessitated the OS reinstall in the first place. Using Disk Utility at this point to repair any permissions issues is advised as well.
*Full Backup After Restore*
Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will perform a full backup after a full restore. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338)
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

I am looking for an animated globe/map with zoom capabilities for FCP

I want to purchase a globe that will spin and look somewhat realistic and when I stop it on the country it will zoom in/out to the state I want. I have found globes at several companies, but I need the zoom effect. Or... I need a map of the U.S. with a zoom effect like this. Can anyone help?

Google earth pro can be purchased with a modual that exports to AVI format, but only runs on the PC; its MUCH cheaper than 10k; I'm sure you can use the google search engine to find the home page to earth pro, with the movie maker plugin.
You can use google earth the free version to create the sequance to test and see if you see what you like; and then upgrade to pro with movie plug in and get the best results; The free version will not be as smooth and hi res as the pro with movie maker, movie maker downloads all the data for each frame, then stores that frame in the AVI, the free version will download as much data as it can to display to keep up with the time alloted for the animation;
You can get sneeaky and use your camera to record off the LCD panel, but this looks like crap as all the details are missing, not to mention its illegal. Pro with Movie plug in is worth it for exactly this type of thing...

My MacBook Po can not connet with Time Capsule for Internet. Back-up are ok

Hi to all,
If I connect the ADSL line to Time Capsule no Internett available.
If connect the live with eternet cable to MacBook pro all is fine.
Mack book pro do all the backup with Time Capsule in WiFi
Hot to have the MacBook connectid to Time Capsule in WiFe for internet too??
Easy explanation please, I'm really beginner

Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
Correct, it will work.
I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection. You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

Has anyone used Mountain Lion with Time Machine for the WD MyBook Live Duo

This NAS is working with OSX Lion. But since I had trouble moving up to Lion with my previous WD NAS drive, I want to make sure that it works.
Thanks

Upgraded to Mavericks yesterday. Seems to have gone well except for one thing. My computer will not recognized my WD MyBook Live 3T and thus Time Machine will not work with it. My wife's MacBook Pro is still running 10.6.8 and her computer is still working properly and doing back ups. Called Western Digital Tech support and Apple Tech Support. Not much helpl there. I attempted to download and use the newest sofware (during Mavericks installation I did get a warning that the old WD software was not supported). However, one of the first steps is getting the software to scan for the backup drive. No dice. The computer is not recognizing its existence at all in any place you might look. So I am stuck and frustrated at this point. I have plugged and unplugged things. The MyBook Live is hooked up directly by ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme router. My computer is hooked up by ethernet cable to the router and my wife's laptop uses the WiFi connection. Apple Tech suggested a direct hookup to my computer. My computer still would not recognize it.

Trying to find termplates with drop zones for FCP 6 Help please.

I'm on FCS 2 (FCP6) and I'm looking for some templates that I can use to create a short video montage. I wold like to have images moving slowly around the screen with 'firework' effects going off around them. I've seen this done with a template but that was done on FCP 7. This would take the rest of my life to do manually so the question is are the kinds of templates WITH DROP ZONES available for use in FCP6? I've searched around but can only find templates for fonts, transitions and so on. Any help much appreciated.

I've just realised that the template I was looking for in FC is actually available in Motion and I'd failed to install it, so I'm sorted. If there is a source of free templates I'd be thrilled to find them.

Backing up macbook with time machine for first time

I tried backing up my macbook for the first time, using time machine, to a new portable external hard drive formatted for p.c. The screen said do you want to erase the disc and i did. It said nothing about formatting for mac, but began to appear to be backing up my computer, and was running for 3-4 hours doing that. I walked away from the computer and came back an hour or two later, and there was a message on the screen saying error, could not create directory. I don't know if this was related to the initial backup, or if an hour later it tried updating the backup and it referred to that. How do I know if my computer is backed up properly. What do I do about the message about the directory. If I don't need this program to update the backup every hour, how do I change that. Also, I have a 1 terrabyte external hard drive on which I store all my raw photography files, can I plug that in and plug in another new external hard drive and back up the external hard drive to the other external hard drive using time machine as well? thanks for any suggestions, this is a little confusing the first time, Virginia

The backup frequency can be changed using e.g. TimeMachineScheduler and I think you can set Time Machine to backup external drives. (System Preferences --> Time Machine --> Options)

Trying to back up with time machine for first time. It keeps ejecting the disk a few minutes in. Any ideas?

I am using a WD My Passport to try and do a time machine backup for the first time, on my iMac desktop.
the first couopleo of times I did it, it was really slow and then crashed after a few mins. I started again as if it was a new external harddrive and some home it tarted a bit faster, getitng to aboyt 6GB of the 280GB within 10 mins and then crashed again. All I see is that it is no longer working and a message pops up saying 'Disk was not ejected properly', even though I havent touched it.
Am I doing soemthing wrong or have I got a dodgy external disk?

Problem with Time Machine for those with low tolerance for seizures.

I need to know if there is a way to switch all the wonderful shuffle and swish of this much needed feature. I have a low tolerance for seizures, not enough to cause me terrible harm but enough to make me violently ill.
The stacking and fast shuffling trigger the first stages of a fit for me at least.
I wonder if there is a way to slow it down or have it static and just use the slider?
I also can't use the iPod style finder either.
This is not a joke or some attempt to flame Leopard. I rate this OSX as one of the best and the nicest to use except for not being able to switch off feature. I was wondering if their is a geek terminal method of altering at least the rate of shuffle. Leopard is much better than Vista. I need help though.

I want to replace my 1st generation time capsule with the new ac time capsule. What might I use the old 1st generation time capsule for

What use would there be for the 1st generation time capsule if I bought a new ac time capsule?

I just bought hte new ac time capsule (TC), and was using the 1st generation one at home.
=> I use now the old TC as an wifi extender and as a shared hard disk for family
=> the new TC is used with Time Machine for encrypted backup and first high speed network

External HD for use with Time Machine

I have a new MacBook Pro with 320GB HD. I want to buy an external HD to use with Time Machine for a back up. HOw much capacity should I be looking at for the external? Is 500GB enough or is it possible to partition a 1TB unit for use as backup and extra storage (photos, music, etc...)?
Thanks.
This should have been posted in the late model forum. Sorry.

Can I use disk utility to partition once plug in HD?
Yes, you can. Click the Partition tab. Click options and set the partition scheme to GUID. One option is to have one partition a bit smaller than your internal HDD, which you can use for a bootable clone (SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner).
