Sync Sound, Easy Answer Come on guys
Wow Can;t Belive I am asking this one,
I am syncing sound from a dat recorder to dv captured footage. For the life of me I cannot create independant subclips.
Our original capture was not broken down into takes, so we have sub clipped all of the clips from what we have logged. Now I try to link the sound to the video in the timeline and it is creating a new SEQUENCE and not an independant clip, when I click create subclip. Surely it should be easier than that
All we want is to link the media (already created subclips with aiff audio) and create new independant files.
Please help
Thanks
Aaron

I'm currently syncing sound for a short film on Premiere CC. I synced all the clips in the timeline and it all syncs and sounds great. But when I "merge clip" the clips audio in the bin changes. The sync is still perfect but the sound goes from stereo to mono and tracks are added. The audio on-set was recorded in two ways.
1) 1 track stereo L+R
2) 3 track mono
When I merge clips with the the 1 track stereo, it goes from being one track to two. And it's no longer L+R. Both tracks are centered. When I sync the 3 track mono it adds 6 additional tracks. the top track being the audio and the bottom two being empty. Then the 4th track has audio followed by two empty tracks. Then the 7th track has audio followed by two empty tracks. Why am I having this issue and how do I fix it?
Tom if you're here I could use your help. Thank you!
DanThe issue comes from multi-channel .wav files.
I've worked on projects with multiple audio sources where the sound guy recording each one as discreet .wav files. So if you had two lavs and a boom for a particular shot, each take would generate three distinct .wav files. It took slightly longer to align on the timeline for syncing, but when I performed Merge with them, everything worked fine.
But on my current project I was working with a different sound recordist who would record those multiple sources into a single multi-channel .wav file. They were all recorded mono, but on some shots it would result in 6 different recorded mono tracks. Premiere displays those multiple mono tracks in their own separate tracks, already lined up on the timeline.
But when I merge this audio with picture, the resulting clip is crazy.
When the audio is synced and merged with picture into a clip, it exponentially adds blank tracks. Normally, during a merge, stereo tracks are split into two distinct mono tracks, one for each channel and mono tracks should remain the same. That is what is supposed to happen. But as we see here, an additional thing is going on that shouldn't happen.
Instead, with multi-track files, it treats ALL of the tracks as singular multi-channel tracks and tries to "split" them by creating additional empty tracks. But the most bizarre thing of all is that the number of dupes is equal to the total number if tracks. So for a shot with two lavs and a boom, there would be three tracks in the one clip. But Premiere is treating each of the three tracks as if each of them has three channels and creates three tracks for each of them; one with audio and two blank ones, for a total of nine tracks. For shots with three actors on lavs and with a boom, there are four tracks that are multiplied four times, giving me 16 tracks. I even have some takes where the five original mono tracks are turned into 25 tracks. Again, only five of them actually have audio in them and the rest are blank.
It's exponential. Had I been given an 8 track file, it would be turned into 64 tracks but 56 of them would be blank!
To make it even more fun, the real audio is spread out vertically on the timeline with the dummy tracks in between also equal to the number of real tracks. So a merged 4 track clip places the real audio on tracks 1, 6, 11, & 16, but audio from a merged clip with 5 tracks puts the audio on tracks 1, 7, 13, 19, & 25. So I can't just do a blanket "Modify Audio Channel" on everything and delete the dead tracks. It is all relative.
After the clips were borked up with the extra tracks, I went to Clip->Modify->Audio Channels and turned off all the empty channels, then saved a preset based on how many tracks there were. So in my footage bin I was able to organize by Audio Info and it listed the number of tracks it had. So I could put all of my 12 Mono Track clips together, highlight them all, then apply my "12 Mono" channel filter preset to all of them at once. Then I dragged them back to the timeline and they were fixed. Technically, those blank tracks probably still exist, but they are no longer visible.
And better yet, it doesn't put any vertical gaps between them. So if my audio was really on tracks 1, 6, 11, and 16 it places them on the timeline in tracks 1-4.
Now that I have the presets I can apply it to any further projects where I encounter this. It is still idiotic and obnoxious but not as catastrophic as I thought it was. -
Lately I've noticed that videos on my iTunes aren't syncing sound with picture - lots of delay and pausing. Any suggestions?

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister
From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod. -
cant sync iPod touch. comes up with "cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (21.6MB required, 304.8MB available)." I am so confused. I have more than enough space even on PC.
That message is telling you that you do not have enough stgorage on the iPod to accomodate all the media you are trying to sync to the iPod.

My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer? I have enough space on my hard drive, I have the new version of itunes and iphone software, and have tried restarting my computer several times. I ran apple diagnostics which found no issues! I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, please help me.
I kept getting this last week. Really annoying. I found this solution:
Remove (delete) ALL photos and videos from your iphone. Reboot it. Connect to your pc again.
This worked for me, however I've since taken some more pics and it doesn't sync again, so I'm not sure what permanent solution there is, although I've read lots of technical ones by googling it. -
My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?
Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article. -

the sound do not come out the headphones sometimes altho its all the way up in the setting and when i remove the headphones the sound doesnt come from the internal speaker either and only a reboot fixes the problem and thats annoying! any idea how tto fix this?
Hello. I've been able to play sound without problems through headphones or external speakers to date - the output always switched to these automatically until today. Now, sound output continues through internal speakers even if I plug in headphones or external speakers.
- I tested the headphones and speakers on other devices: they work fine.
- When I plug in headphones or speakers into the audio output port (I have verified that I'm not using the input jack) the devices are not detected and are not listed under the output tab in system preferences-sound.
I concluded from this that I probably had a problem with the audio port, so to test that I tried the following. I plugged a powered multi-USB device with ports for microphone line-in and headphone line-out into the USB port and switched it on. I verified that it was working by plugging a USB stick into the multi-USB device - this was recognised successfully, so the device was clearly working. I then plugged in headphones and speakers into the audio line-out on the multi USB device - but still no sound came through them (and tey were not listed among output devices) and the Mac continued using internal speakers.
What should I do? Does the latter test suggest that the problem does not lie with the audio port, or is my test not conclusive? What would you advise?
Many thanks indeed!

How do you sync sound from a digital recorder with video?
Can anyone tell me how to sync sound with video? Not a voice over but Voice recorded when video was shot. Voice was recorded on hand held digital recorder.
When you're shooting use the ciak , then when in imovie, sync the sound of ciak with the closing of it and you're done
If u havent's used , just seek for a sound or a part of speech witch is very evident to sing
Do it before cut video
hope helps

Hi
I would like to sync sound from my ZOOM h4n that was taken during shooting replacing the DSLR sound. What's the best method to do that?
ThanksSometimes merging clip by matching waveforms doesn't work due to a huge difference in the camera audio and the zoom H4N waveforms (primarily caused by different audio levels). I tried, premiere could never merge efficiently and there were always sync issues. Hence, I always merged clips by setting markers on the claps of both the tracks. If there are no claps then look for a clap like snap, ding, etc in the background. If none found, then use a monosyllabic word in the dialogue. This always works.

When i sync my music from com to my Iphone and movie clips I can't play them. It look likes it is in iCloud. Next to the music and movie clips there is a download sign (circle with a dot inside)
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

You don't need to have your iPod plugged in to access your iTunes library?
I'm not really sure what it is you are trying to do. :S
So you plug your iPod in and open iTunes and are prompted for a username and password for an Apple ID that is not yours? If so, what does this prompt say exactly?

Help Overcoming Sync Sound Problems
I have some video footage that a client has handed over where the sync sound shot on location is, shall we say, less than optimal. It is interview footage of Doctors in Emergency Rooms and was shot on location in empty ER treatment rooms. It is very echo-y/hollow and has a lot of background voices from out in the hall of the ER.
Though I would like to minimize the background voices, I can live with them. The real issue I need to some advice on is how to minimize the hollow/echo sound from shooting in an empty sheetrock/linoleum room? The levels are excellent and the voices are crystal clear.
I am true novice at Soundtrack Pro (and sound in general) and would really appreciate some advice on how to make the voice track "richer".
Quad G5, Dual G5, Dual G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)I can't walk you though it step by step (*maybe somebody else can). But here are some things to look at:
Echoes in a particular room, especially without significan movement of the mic, fall at ver specific frequencies. They can be greatly reduced with careful use of extremely narrow parametric equalizations.
The following is non-FCP specific but you'll figure it out. The short story: you want to set up a parametric EQ with a narrow band and with the gain pumped up.
Now sweep the frequency up from the bottom until the sound gets really boomy and annoying. You just found one of those frequencies. Center the frequency where it sounds the lousiest.
Now turn the gain all the way down. The sound should be much better. Tweak the bandwidth and the gain until the most objectionable echo is taken out without affecting the desired audio too badly. This is subjective.
You're not done yet. Repeat this process with another parametric EQ, sweeping up friom the frequency of the first one. Repeat all the above. And so on until you've got a handle on it. Most of the nasty echos will be in the boomy bass area.
If you're really finicky, you may now find yourself going back and raising the gain on some of these to get back some of the audio quality. Echo isn't all bad, but there is definitely such a thing as too much.
I guess I do go step by step... darn, I don't have time for that!
