STP won't recognize audio via firewire from camera

Dear all,
I am trying to record narration using a microphone attached to my Canon XL1S and import the audio live into Sound Track Pro via firewire. This method works fine for Quicktime. Quicktime recognizes the XL1S and records the narration as I am speaking, but STP does not seem to recognize the firewire input and I get no meter levels or any indication that my audio is registering. Any suggestions? I have tried all the preferences and settings I can find. Do I need another interface for STP? Seems strange that I would if Quicktime recognizes it.
Thanks much.
Barb.

It cannot be done. STP (and other DAWs) doesn't natively support Firewire devices in that manner.
Instead, try the Quicktime or FCP approach, or even record it to tape, then import it. The better way would be to get a dedicated soundcard and mixer for that. Believe me, you'll appreciate that!

  • FCP won't recognize my new Sony FX7 camera

    FCP won't recognize my new Sony FX7 camera even though iMovie does.
    I have FCP ver4.5. Is that why?

    That is why.
    I don't believe v. 6 of FCP recognizes it either and my guess is that capture will be by the Apple Intermediate Codec AIC in iMovie

    I have an older Kodak which they have stopped supporting and I have to take out the SD card and put it in the card slot to download pictures.  I read other threads where this solved similar problems for others.  Some have a separate card reader but I just use the one on my imac.  Wish it was more convienent to get to it though.

  • Don't get timecode via firewire from FCP to Panasonic HVX200A for DV.

    When I try to 'print to video' or just play the timeline for a NTSC DV sequence, I get video and audio on my Panasonic HVX200A camera, but no timecode. The timecode display on the camera doesn't move and when I 'Log and Capture' the video that I just recorded, the 'Log and Capture' just sits there displaying 'Waiting for timecode' while the tape is actually playing in the camera.
    The camera setting for '1394 TC REGEN' is set to 'on' which means that the camera will get the timecode from the firewire instead of creating the timecode itself.
    The 'no timecode' problem is the same for output to tape or P2 cards.
    I am using the DV-NTSC Easy Setup for device control, etc.
    But.... When I output an HD (720P/60P) sequence from the timeline to the P2 cards, the timecode is immediately visible on the camera's timecode counter. I can even send the DV sequence above to the HD P2 setup and the DV timecode will show up.
    How can I get FCP 7 to send the timecode via firewire to my HVX200A using a DV recording setup options on the camera?

    But I can send the time code from both a 720P/24P sequence and a NTSC DV sequence using the 720P/60P FCP video playback setup to the Panasonic HVX200A using the camera recording setup 720P/60P.
    If I change the starting timecode for my active sequence from 01:00:00:00 to 03:00:00:00 and press play, the timecode sent to the camera displays the correct hh:mm:ss:ff starting with 03.
    So you can output timecode using HD settings. And you can send a DV sequence to the same HD settings and see that DV timecode. Although, the DV frame is surrounded by black on all sides.
    But why can't you output a DV timecode to a DV setup HVX200A?
    Also, if you wanted to create a DV tape using the filters that burn a visual timecode to the tape, don't you need to be sure that you can send the timecode with video so that they are in sync when recorded? You wouldn't want the camcorder to provide timecode that doesn't exactly match the burned to image timecode?

  • HT1151 Can't Transmit Audio Via Firewire to Adobe Connect

    At my job we use Adobe Connect to broadcast our meetings live over the internet. We connect a Panasonic HXV 200 with a shotgun mic to a Macbook Pro via Firewire. However, we can't get the audio signal transmitted to the computer. There is no option in Adobe Connect to select the HVX 200 as the microphone for the presenter. Does anyone know why this would be? The only options for Mics are "Built-in line input," "Built-in Digital Input" and "Blackmagic Audio." Sometimes we can get audio from the laptop's on board mic but it's not of very high quality. We've tried connecting the camera's headphone jack to the laptop's line-in port via an auxiliary cable. This works but it's not the best solution because the audio should be coming in over Firewire.

    Generally we use a Macbook Pro, but I'm currently on a Mac Pro tower with OS X 10.7.5 and I'm having the exact same issue.

  • FMLE won't recognize audio drivers.

    My FMLE will only recognize my microphone as a potential audio input source, and won't recognize RealTek Audio at all. In the dropdown menu, the only option is for the microphone.
    Is this a bug, or something I can fix?

    OK. OS Flavor means: Is it Win7 Home Basic or Win7 Professional or Win7 Starter Edition
    m/c: machine details like Core2 Duo with 4 GB RAM...
    For RealTek Audio driver: check their website for WIn7 release driver.

  • After OS Upgrade, System Preferences won't recognize audio input/output.

    When I got an iPhone, I had to upgrade to OS 10.5.8, as well as upgrade Safari (to 4.0.3) and iTunes (to 9.0.1) for everything to run smoothly, and it does.
    However, since I went though the motions last week with these upgrades, System Preferences or Utilities doesn't want to recognize my audio input/output jacks. It won't recognize when I plug in my stereo or my headphones. I hook up my computer to my stereo all the time to listen to music in the living areas of my apartment, and now I can't because it isn't reading the jack.
    Any suggestions? How can I get the system to fix this problem?

    Check your Audio MIDI Setup settings.

  • FME Firewire Video and Audio Support(not from Camera)

    I can't seem to find any definitive answer on weather FME can
    support both video and audio from a single Firewire connection that
    is coming from an analog to digital Firewire converter box. I want
    to take the analog audio and video feed, convert it to a Firewire
    feed (using a Canopus DV converter) and feed that into a laptop.
    Seems like that should work and both audio/video would be
    present...
    That being said, I have found a few conflicting reports on
    weather or not both the audio and video will be recognized. I also
    note that others have been having issues in FME with PCI cards (no
    audio when it should be there) so I'm curious if anyone has tried
    Firewire (not from a camera). Will it work in FME v2.5+? If not, is
    there an elegant laptop analog to digital conversion solution (that
    doesn't require using the crapy mic in or line in ports)? (RCA
    connectors would be preferred.)
    Thanks so much!
    P.S. I'm disappointed with Adobe's lack of support on this
    encoder. They claim Firewire is supported but I've only found a few
    3rd party sources that say 'video only' and nothing concrete at
    that (even in the downloadable manual). I'm also disappointed at
    Adobe's lack of e-mail support for 'pre-sale' product questions.
    Not supper great customer service!

    FME should support audio and video from Firewire
    source.

  • Audio levels different from camera to Premiere Pro

    Why is it that the audio levels on the camera can show the subject peaking right above -10dB, but when I bring the clips into Premiere, they are below -12dB and I always have to boost them?
    Just to test this, I cranked up the volume on our camera's inputs to the point where it was clipping. When I took this clip into Premiere it still wasn't hitting 0dB. It was peaking into the yellow, even though the clip was completely distorted because of the clipping coming into the camera.
    Is there a way to calibrate either Premiere Pro or our camera so that they match, so when you are peaking at -6dB on the camera, it's the same in Premiere Pro?
    I know the solution probably involves a tone generator being used with the camera, which we have, but I'm not exactly sure what to do.

    >I cranked up the volume on our camera's inputs to the point where it was clipping. When I took this clip into Premiere it still wasn't hitting 0dB. It was peaking into the yellow, even though the clip was completely distorted because of the clipping coming into the camera.
    What I think is you have run into is definitions of the dB. One has dBm and dBV in the electrical world, among a lot of others (for example sound pressure/power and different types like dBA, dBC, and so on within sound levels).
    Anyway, to make this not to be a too deep lesson in deciBel (dB), it seem like your cameras define 0dB to be something different than what Premiere defines it to be. The dB presentation (what the display shows) is a logarithmic number depending on a reference level, meaning in this case, if the voltage (sound turned into electricity) hits for example 1 Vrms then we'll call that 0dB (which is probably what Premiere does, and maybe your camera uses 0,775 Vrms as 0dB reference).
    Clear as mud so far, right, just wait for the following. Just kidding, but look up decibel in google, and you'll find a pretty complex world.
    Bottom line:
    I don't think you can get the dB levels in Premiere and your cameras to match, unless your cameras have a setting that defines the 0dB level. The best you can do, in my opinion, is to learn the difference and go from there as you have ("I always have to boost them"). But, also remember that if you do some audio stuff in Premiere that you want to record back onto tape, you'll have to go the other way, lessen the audio level.
    Reference levels made by a tone generator is a fine way to learn the differences.
    Dag
    EDIT: Allthough it probably is a definition question, just never let your camera go over 0dB. As you have noticed, it will be distorted sound. The electric circuits on your camera won't handle over 0dB well.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 13 stops working trying to add media via videos from camera

    When I try to add media selecting videos from camera or flip, Adobe Premiere Elements 13 stops working and closes. What might be the problem?

    elizabethmeow
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you had the opportunity to update 13 to 13.1 using an opened projects Help Menu/Update?
    What are the full properties of your source media and how are you importing them that you are trying to import into the project? A quick way to get that information, if you do not know that information, is for you to post the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Element 13, and are you running the program as Administrator?
    Lots of additional questions, but the answers to the above may give us the answer that you need to resolve you issue.
    Thank you.

  • Migration Assistant in Lion won't recognize Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard

    I just got an iMac with Lion. I am trying to use the Migration Assistant to move my files/apps etc from a Time Machine backup to the new computer.  The MA will not recognize the backup drive - (external firewire 800).  I can see the backup drive on my desktop but it does not show up as an option to choose in the Migration Assistant.  Any idea what might be wrong.  The backup is from an iMac running Snow Leopard and all the system software was last updated on Dec 9th. It think it is as current as I could get with Snow Leopard. Any ideas what is wrong? 
    Thanks,
    Chad

    This happened to me after hard drive replacement under the Seagate Drive Recall at the local Apple Store. Here's what I learned from the process:
    I Wagged the Mac home, fired it up (with naked OS installed at the Apple Store), and it wouldn't see my Time Machine drive with Setup Assistant - not on firewire 800 nor USB. Just a grey spinner that lasts forever. When I try just continuing anyway, it offers me something that looks plausible, but then puts up a dialog about duplicate user name, and no matter what I enter, it always says "that user already exists". So I think - maybe Migration Assistant. Complete the setup, create an account, watch the nice welcome movie. BAM - there's my Time Machine drive on the desktop. OK - it has to work . . . but no. Same behavior in Migration Assistant, plus the new OS offers to start making backups on my Time Machine disk - it's not recognizing it at all.
    So - back to the Apple Store - let the genius figure it out. It turns out there are multiple problems. First, the "genius" who imaged my new machine picked 10.7.2 but my machine had 10.7.5 - turns out, it's not enough just to have right cat. Even a point release older OS may not recognize a newer Time Machine drive. The guy at the desk said "We have images of everything but the 10.7.2 has free iLife in it, so they like to use that one". What the heck? They don't image what you had originally as a matter of sane process?
    Having figured that out, we re-image 10.7.5 at the store thinking we've fixed it. But no - Setup Assistant still won't see the Time Machine drive. Not on USB, not on Firewire. Not in a box, not with a fox.
    So here's the second trick - newer machines have a recovery partion. see: http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/  Boot with the option key held down, pick that partition, then you'll get a "system restore" option, to restore your whole system from a Time Machine backup. My drive was recognized by the recovery partition restore process when neither Setup nor Migration Assistant would. Obviously, there's something broken in Setup/Migration Assistant.
    Takeaway:
    - if you're getting a drive replaced by Apple, make sure they image *exactly* the same OS
    - if Setup Assistant fails, use the recovery partition for system restore
    - Use Recovery Disk Assistant http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433 NOW to make yourself a recovery thumb drive just in case. With Apple's new "no media" approach to the OS, you're hosed without it.

  • Audio via ethernet from MacBook

    I’m a newbie--just switching to Mac from Windows.
    I can’t claim to be a true audiophile, but I have tendencies in that direction. I’m in the process of storing a thousand CDs in Apple LossLess, and have a pretty good stereo.
    My new MacBook will be in the back of my house in my office, connected to a hardwired LAN. The LAN has an ethernet connection right where my stereo is. I have an NAD integrated amp with no optical/digital input. I want to stream audio from the MacBook to the stereo. I’d like to leave the MacBook where it is, and have something like an iPhone or iPad as a controller where my stereo is.
    Can I just plug in an Airport Express to the Ethernet where my stereo is? Will it stream audio from my MacBook to the stereo over the Ethernet? Or will it stream it wirelessly? Do I care? (Shouldn’t an Ethernet connection be a lot higher quality than wireless?)
    Is there a better way to get audio from the MacBook to the stereo via Ethernet—even if it requires a non-Mac solution?
    --Werner

    Hello WLohe. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    If your goal is to use iTunes on your MacBook as the audio source of ALAC files, then they could be streamed over Ethernet. iTunes uses AirTunes for audio streaming. AirTunes can be transmitted over wire or wireless. At the NAD end, you would need either an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) or Apple TV, to receive the AirTunes streams. In turn, these devices would offer digital optical or analog outputs to the NAD.
    If however, your goal is to stream these files outside of iTunes, then you would need a different solution. One such solution is to run a DLNA media server on the MacBook, and then, stream media to a DLNA client ... like an Xbox 360. In this case an AirPort Express would not be necessary.

  • Simultaneous Recording of Video & Audio via firewire

    I just got a Belkin firewire hub and it works great in terms of getting video from my DVcam and audio from my Alesis MultiMix 8. What I've had to do, though, is record the video into iMovie while recording the audio into Garageband...and then syncing the two later, which is an onerous process.
    My question is: Is there a way to get iMovie to lay down an audio track from the firewire input [which actually has some great quality] while live recording/importing from the cam? That's my wish.
    Arigatou gozaimasu!
    AlBook 17/1.6   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The 2 replies so far are interesting in that I have found both to be true; while mixing is not what I am after, I do want iMovie to ignore the cam audio and take the digital audio from the Alesis interface. Right now I record the audio to Garageband and copy the exported mp4 back into iMovie, syncing with the video track and turning off the audio iMovie origninally recorded. It's a little awkward.
    Imagine iMovie and the Mac acting as a sort of digital switcher, enabling the user to choose which audio input to use while recording. Innovative thinking-- I wonder if they're listening in Cupertino?
    Looking forward to more opinion/advice on this problem...and appreciating your collaboration thus far.

  • How can I access audio over Firewire from a DV camera in Flex/Air?

    Hi all,
    I've scoured the 'net looking, but I cannot seem to find an answer to my question.
    I'm writing an app that captures video and audio in Flex as an Air application.  I can use Camera.getCamera() to get the video from my Firewire-connected DV camera just fine, but the audio stream doesn't show up in Microphones at all.
    I'm developing on Windows 7 - is there some issue with Windows not exposing the Firewire audio feed as a local sound device?  Is there a way around it?
    Thanks in advance - I look forward to any help you may be able to offer.
    Dave

    I should note that the camera (both video and audio) show up as devices just fine in other Adobe CS apps (including FLME).  Does anyone have any insight as to how FLME gains access to the DV hardware?
