STRAIGHT, non-curving, audio frames

If you put two audio keyframes a few seconds apart in a track, and you pull
the second one down to nothing, the line sort of curves down, instead of
going STRAIGHT down as in some other editing systems.
Is there a way to make it not "curve", without having to add more keyframes
in the curve downward?
Thanks.

Indeed... I've often wondered the same thing and I'm glad to see the replies... Especially the SINGLE keyframe idea.
As an audio editor, I NEED at least 4 variable crossfades to be effective /\, (\, (), /) where the ) is the 'logrithmic' fade.
Not sure if that's the right term, as dB are supposed to be logrithmic anyway - so isn't a straight line crossing dB already logrithmic????? OOooh - got meself confused again!
But - FCP isn't an audio editor for sure.

Non curved audio fades

Hi
I would like to use keyframes on the timeline to adjust audio levels with out the fade ramping in Final Cut Pro 7. With other editing software I have always been able to do this, but when I put a fade in using key frames, the line in between the two keyframes always curves and gives that 'ramping' effect.
Does anyone know how to make it just change with a straight line instead of curving like it automaticaly does?
Thanks

Extra Audio Frames When Exporting Video

Does anybody have the issue of extra audio frames being added when exporting a video. Every time I export, the audio adds like a 2 second handle. Very strange.

The best advice is to tell them their work is coming back non-compliant and you can't have that. Let them figure out why and solve it. (That's is part of their job, after all.)

Difference?: Offset Audio Sync Tool and Audio Frame Offset Value

Here's my Set-Up:
Editing a project shot film, audio recorded to CD. Xfer'd to DVCProHD with audio synced up. Downconverted capture to DV for editing in powerbook.
Computer: 1.67 ghz PowerBook G4 with 1.5 GB RAM
Final Cut Pro Version: 5.0.4
QuickTime: 7.0.4
OSX: 10.4.4
Editing timebase: 29.97 non-drop
My problem:
I have clips that when played in the viewer are fine and in sync. When cut into the timeline some drift out of sync. If I apply the offset Audio Sync Tool at it's default 2 frames to the master clip and cut it back in it goes back to sync - for a while. Matchframe back to master clip and it's OK. Why is the timeline not holding the setting? Corrupt timeline?
When and how is the Audio Frame Offset (default is 4) found in Systme Settings/Playback Control used? Is there a relationship between it and the Offset Audio Sync Tool?
FWIW: tapes were batched captured - I have master clips that are all about 22 minutes long. I subclipped each take and scene for editing. When I use the offset audio sync tool I apply it to the long Master clips. The problematic Subclips don't seem to be affected if I try to apply just to them.
TIA.

Being exported from tower mac, not laptop... we have tried exporting directly from final cut and from quicktime pro... sync is off when played on PCs but seems fine on the mac...we have tried adjusting the frame offset as well... do think it could have anything to do with clicking the box "prepare for internet streaming"
Thanks

Premiere Pro CC 2014 - audio frame repeating while scrubbing

In 2014 and CC, I often run into an issue where an audio frame will repeat while scrubbing. It stops when I hit play or move the cursor to another part of the timeline. Obviously, this makes audio editing a nightmare. I've checked all the settings and I'm at a complete loss. I've unchecked "maintain pitch while shuttling", but the problem persists. Is there something I'm missing?
I've searched the forum, but haven't found any answers. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Premiere Pro CC 2014 (8.0.1)
Mac OSX 10.9.5

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB

No third party codecs

Apparently this only happens when holding down the next or previous frame keys. Individual clicks don't seem to cause the repeated frame.

Mov files dropping video and audio frames CC 2014

I have been experiencing playback issues in Premiere and just got off the phone with Adobe support. It appears that there is known issue with .mov files dropping video and audio frames that will likely be fixed in the next release. My entire project is .mov files and we need to get some serious editing done to complete a rough cut of our film. As a bandaid, we have reverted the playback renderer to software only and I am experimenting with different preview file formats to see if I will have less dropped frames. I want to avoid converting my media from mov files at all costs as this would be very time consuming with over 100 hours of footage.
Please let me know if you have any other workarounds!

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, MOV can hold all sorts of "stuff." See this article for some more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
Can you let us know what is inside that MOV "wrapper?"
Thanks, and good luck,

Locking Non Synced Audio To A Sequence

I have some old audio files ( mostly that came - using old drum machines) - that I want to sync to logic.
In digital performer 4.6 - I am able to highlight a multi bar drum track - then click " analyze audio" - and it makes an attempt to guess at the beats per minute. Then I can change the sequence to that BPM - then slide the audio drum track ( and all other related audio tracks) - and match up the drum downbeats to the beginning of a bar - and thereby lock non-synced audio to a sequence very easily.
Question: how do I do this in logic 7.11?

Beat mapping is probaly what you want
if you have an exact loop use adjust tempo using region length/locators

How can I sequence non-threaded text frames for localization?

Is there any way to sequence non-threaded text frames? I want the text to appear in order in SDL (translation software).
Thanks all. RR

Last time I checked, the Articles tool only affected reading order in PDF. I know of no translation tools that consistently do a good job harvesting text from PDFs, and SDL's tools only accept IDML. TextStitch is useful because you can just let it auto-stitch the whole document if all frames should be read in a top-down, left-right order.
However, StoryCollector and other SDL tools also collect frames in that order. So, using the QuickStitch function of TextStitch, you can rapidly thread all the frames in a document. Note that you will want to ungroup any group that contains a text frame before you begin - TextStitch gives you visual feedback, "blackening" frames that are going to be included in the threaded story, but it doesn't black out threaded frames in groups, so if you want to be able to see what you are doing, then you'll have to ungroup.

Problem trying to clue non contiguous audio regions

I'm trying to glue together non contiguous audio regions after cutting up loop.
I know I should get a dialogue box telling me that logic will create a new region, but this is not happening and it wont let me glue the region together, is there an option or something to turn this function on?
any help would be great thanks

your problem is most likely that you're trying to do this with apple loops, not normal audio files. you can't use these functions with apple loops, along with others such as fade in/out and crossfade. you'll have to export the selection to a new audio file, or bounce it.

Change curved audio fade to straight?

hi, i cant seem to change my audio fade from a curved line to a straight line. i create 2 keyframes and move one down to fade out an audio track and the line is curved instead of straight. the manual doesn't mention how to change to "straight mode" either. VERY FRUSTRATING. i have used final cut pro and the audio fades were straight. is the straight audio fade line exclusive to final cut pro? many thanx.

hi, sorry i should have explained myself better, < </div>
No problem, happens all the time around here.
Welcome to the family.
what i need to hear is a straight fade out of the audio and i was originaly using FC pro and was achieving this without any hassle, you will notice the curved fade which seems to be the only option in FC express drops off at the end of the fade which much to my distress sounds a bit abrupt for my particular piece. It seems i will have to buy FC pro...< </div>
There is no straight-line audio fade in FCP, none that I can find. Do not invest in FCP just for a chimera of an audio setting.
the only wsay I know of that you can achieve this is to use multiple keyframes. Zoom in as far as you need to in the Viewer and try your best to get the effect you want.
You may need to take the track out to Soundtrack Pro for more exasperatingly crucial editing.

What's Better: Straight or Curved Mouse Paths?

Ok, someone just told me that straight mouse paths are better. Personally, I think the curved paths are nice. None of my videos require showing the mouse moving in a straight line. Is there any evidence one way or the other, or is it solely a personal preference?

Hello,
Think this is really personal, I rarely do see a straight mouse movement in reality but it is up to you,

Non-printing text frame for use in exported pdf

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of words in a text frame and I've set the text frame to be be non-printing in the attributes panel. I was hoping that by doing this, that when I exported to pd, it would show in the pdf file but not print, but as it happens it doesn't show at all in the pdf.
Is there a way to mark a text frame as non-printing in Indesign but still have it show in the pdf and not print in the pdf?
Would be grateful for any advice.

It might work to put it on it's own layer, mark the layer as non-printing, so it won't print from ID, but export a layered PDF (you might have to include non-printing layers to get it inthe PDF, but I don't think so). In Acrobat pro you can then change the layer properties to visible, but non-printing. It's a real pain to do this.

Non iTunes audio content!

What happens if you want to use your speakers for non iTunes use...like Quicktime, internet or even videoconferencing...would I have to unplug the speakers out of the AirPort Express each time...or is there a way to send content to the base station?

I know of a way. This shareware app will do it:
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
I tried it myself and it works ... but you only get one application at a time, and the audio is delayed by about a second. Probably some sort of buffer.
In the end, I didn't bother buying.

Neo4 Platinum (Non-SLi) Audio Plug

I only purchased my computer on friday (17th of June) from a local retailer, and after the initial struggles i have only the one issue left.
i read other topics about on-board audio issues relating to psu conflicts and missing voltage rails (way over my head) but to my understanding that was only to the Diamond and the Neo4 Plantinum SLi versions only. I have the non-SLi version so here is another topic.
Having updated bios and audio drivers and done everything else i can think of - the Front Channel plug of the on-board audio is completely dead. not that the speakers dont work, and as far as i can tell not that the drivers dont work, but well and truely dead, nothing comes out speakers/audio devices connected to the Front Channel plug, not even EMI.
All other channels work fine, and i was almost prepared to purchase a Audigy 2 sound card but also noticed a (long) topic regarding errors there too. Naturally id like to avoid additional purchases if i can, so i thought i might ask the question: Can i / should i send it to be repaired/replaced?
I noticed there is a 7 day dead-on-arrival warrenty, but not sure if this applies to me as i bought it from a local computer store (brand new in the box and invoiced tho)

Ah ok i didnt know who i could take it to to repair.
I installed the drivers off the cd the first time, and after they didnt appear to be working i then formatted the PC and installed those Realtek AC97 drivers. Unfortunately, if i plug the rear speakers into the front channel and the front speakers into the rear channel - the front speakers will play music from the rear channel fine, but the rear speakers on the front channel will be dead.
Thanks for ya time.

Can Apple TV stream movie and other non-music audio to airtunes

I suspect the answer to this is that it is not (currently) possible.
I can stream music in itunes directly from the ATV to my hifi speakers connected via airtunes and an airport express, but I'd like to be able to stream other audio too, such as movie sound tracks. I know this can be done using airfoil from a mac, but I can't see an obvious way of doing the same with ATV. Am I missing something?
Thanks
