Troubles with audio on export

Hi.
I have a Motion 5 project with video with a soundtrack, and some sound effects and music. On render/share it skips the sound effect (a white noise static sound) and approx. 2 seconds of the video soundtrack. Then sound plays fine for the rest of the video clip. After that there is a music track, and it doesn't play the first few seconds, but plays the rest flawlessly until the end.
This is on an 8 Core Mac Pro 2,1 with 12 GB of RAM running Motion 5.0.2. and OS 10.7.3
What's then super strange is that when I took the file home and rendered on my Quad Core Mac Pro 2,1 with 16 GB of Ram an the same OS and same version of Motion, it rendered without a hitch.
Any ideas?

Still having trouble with audio on Macbook Pro

I had posted a discussion board earlier on this issue. I've been having trouble with audio for certain videos on youtube and basically any website embedded with a video. The audio works for a few seconds that doesn't or it doesn't work at all. My volume is up, not on mute, and the one on the video isn't on mute either. It's funny because I just tried watching a video on Firefox (as opposed to Safari) and it works. Could it possible be something with the settings for safari?

Try restarting your Mac, resetting your router, and resetting your modem. My cable internet has gotten slow at times as well, and when I reset my router everything cleared up.

Trouble with audio driver HPG60-243CL

Hello.
A few days ago, I needed to format my notebook (model G60-243CL) and I did everything just like I'm used to do. I reinstaled Windows 7 and after instaling the drivers downloaded from HP drivers page, I had to restart the computer. That's when my troubles began.
Sometimes, when starting up, everything goes on properly until the Windows loading screen, when my computer suddenly restarts again. It doesn't happen everytime and it seems a bit random to me. However, I noticed that when it finally turns on after restarting several times, the audio is a bit odd in every application that involves audio like musics players, videos and games.
On the rare occasions where my notebook manages to start up properly, the audio stays normal.
I already tried formating again, reinstaling the audio drivers and codecs, but nothing seems to work. Does anybody have any suggestions?

There is no simple way to record sound in Java, AFAIU.

Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.
Is it not possible to record computer audio when a microphone is connected? If it is, how?
Significant question. Are you interested in getting this code to work for the machine you sit in front of, or is this for 'the general end user'?
I have no general solution for the latter, but for a single machine, installing an 'audio loop-back' (either software or hardware) might be the answer. That is the most intelligent thing I can offer that might help get around this problem.

Trouble with audio devices

I wrote a simple Java application to record audio on some mixer and then play it back. With my headphones / microphone connected, I got the following list of mixers:
1. Primary Sound Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
2. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
3. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
4. Primary Sound Capture Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
5. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
6. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
7. Java Sound Audio Engine : Software mixer and synthesizer
8. Port Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Port Mixer
9. Port SoundMAX HD Audio : Port Mixer
Of these, mixers 2, 5 and 8 are not available when the headphones are detached, as expected.
Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.

Trouble With Audio Coming Out of Sync

I am having trouble with audio sync
I am using .mov files of myself talking however I also record audio of myself talking as well. The audio files record as mp3 however I convert them to aiff files in order to better synch them in FCP
I have an audio sound as an in point in order to better sync them and the syncing is perfect when i start.
My files are about an hour and a half long and 20 minutes or so the audio starts to come out of sync and my mouth becomes a half second or so behind the audio. I record this audio live so there is no delay between my speaking and my recording voice but the longer the video goes the more out of sync I become.
My syncing method that I use is "Merge Clips" at the in points.
Has anyone else experienced this?

All sorts of things you can do.
Easiest fix is just to run down your timeline and every few minutes snip the audio and move it back into sync.
Now after that;""
Qe have no idea what your process was. We assume you're editing in Final Cut. How did you import your footage? What format is it in the browser?
what are the settings of your timeline? Look at the sequence settings.
You know that you can plug audio from
mic into a Zi8?
You need to get rid of the mixer hum. Likely ac electrical
interference , a ground fault, but who knows.

Trouble with Equations When Exporting to Word

First, I should note, I'm an economist, equations are basically most of my documents.
I'm having trouble getting equations to export correctly to word (I have CS 6 with A. Pro X), what appears to be happening is that Acrobat tries to make the equation using standard characters, not using Word's equation editor. This doesn't really work, and you get results like this:
When this is from the PDF:
Does anyone know how to impove this behavior? Also, there seems to be conficting information about the ExportPdf service, some says it works some say stay away -- and there doesn't seem to be a free trial to try it out.

Well I found that TeX2WORD worked pretty well. It converted the TeX equations into MathType equations. It was not perfect, but the best I have had. I had no luck with the figures, but then I really use TeX as an intermediate step and am not that TeX saavy. It may be that if you use TeX, it will work fine for you. Converting from PDF will simply convert the equations into text in the right spot, but possibly the wrong fonts. I was actually surprised how well it did with AA XI, I was not expecting much at all (really great compared to older products of AA).
For the figures I simply reinserted them in the WORD file. Keep in mind I did this for OFFICE 2003. I believe TeX2WORD has been updated to work with the newer OFFICE. I had gone this route as the best way to get some of my word processor files into WORD -- I have a LaTeX output option and used that. Hope the suggestion helps. It is a direct route and avoids the added problems of additional conversions. This conversion is one of the only reasons I still keep an old Dell laptop around as it is the one that the software is license for. You can download a trial version to try.

Trouble with audio channels

Hi. I'm having a bit of trouble with creating audio tracks. Say if I create a few audio tracks, I'll put a loop on one of the tracks and the signal goes through to the next track down and plays the loop on two tracks instead of one. anyone know why this is happening?

I've never encountered this so I can't really say. I can't imagine that you're running out of Audio objects as they are 256 Audio objects available in Logic. So if you've used 256 Audio objects already Logic can't create new Audio objects and will assign each new track to the same object. But I don't see this being the problem in your case.
Anyway check the track configuration by control+clicking/right clicking onto the track headers and checking to which Audio objects the new tracks are actually assigned.

Issue with audio when exporting

Having some trouble exporting a finished project from PremierePro (CS4). If I have any audio on any channel other than Audio 1 , i.e. a music track over the top of the original audio, and try to export then the exported file comes out with no audio at all.
Have tried various export settings and formats but with no change in the results, the only thing that resolves it is removing the second audio track, which negates the majority of teh work I've done... Any thoughts?

Rich,
Welcome to the forum.
What is/are the format(s) of the Audio that you are adding?
If MPG of any sort, say MP3, try converting to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, Import that/those file(s), and use the WAV(s) on the Timeline. Soundbooth, Audition, or even the simple, free Audacity, should be able to do the conversion for you.
You might also have success by Selecting the Clip(s) on the Timeline, and then Rt-clicking on it/them and choosing Render Replace.
Good luck,
Hunt

Trouble with audio when converting ProRes to MPEG2 HD 422

I am not sure what the problem is but the files I make with compressor won't play back audio on our Play out server.
the PlayBox AirBox. The files I tried from Sorenson Squeeze 8.5 seemed to work fine. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
here are my settings

It turns out that I can use the HD XDCam 50 setting to work with our playout server.
Although the bitrate is higher than necessary. The final bitrate on the MPEG2 encoder on the output before the transmitter is only about 12Mpbs. But hey this works!
I just wish Apple would support an MPEG2 HD 422 codec that would allow for bitrate adjustments etc...
I saw that PixelTools has a QT Codec plug in for QT but it is like $1,600!!!
But the cool thing is you can export directly from your timeline into HD MPEG2 and include your closed caption files at the same time.

Problem with Audio when exporting to Quicktime

I'm running a trial of Adobe Flash CS5 on a Windows PC. I used audio [set to Stream] in the project. The original audio was recorded in 16 bit and 44kHz using Cubase LE4, and was exported in [.wav] format. It works fine and plays back normally when I try 'Test Scene' or 'Test Movie' within Flash. However, the export isn't working right.
I exported the movie into Quicktime format [.mov]. I set the export audio to 16 bit and 44kHz, which was the same rate that the original sound was recorded in. No matter which audio compression I use, [or without compression at all], the final Quicktime file sounds like it is 8 bit, and the quality is greatly reduced. Just to experiment, I tried exporting with 8 bit audio- at this setting the movie played back with even worse audio quality [and a considerable amount of static], and I am assuming that it has been reduced to 4 bit.
For some reason, Flash must be cutting the bit rate in half, no matter what settings I use. Does anyone know how to solve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

Problems with Audio in Exported m4v files

Hi. I am having an issue with QuickTime Player on Snow Leopard. Everytime I try to convert a .AVI file into .m4v, I lose the audio. I'm pretty sure I'm converting the right way, ("Share" > "iTunes..." > "iPhone and iPod"). Nothing appears to go wrong in the exporting process, but as soon as I open them in iTunes, there is no audio. I'm assuming it's not a codec issue, because no matter which .AVI file I use, it has the same problem.
Being a Mac, i'm assuming it's something stupid I'm doing (or not doing), but I would really appreciate some help. Or advice. Or anything.

Open the AVI in QuickTime Player (or QuickTime X like you're using now) and then open the Movie Inspector window to view what makes up the file.
Report that info here.
You can also use the free MPEG Streamclip app to export to the iPod/iPhone and Apple TV presets (with options).

Problems with audio when exporting to movies

Hi All,
I teach sequencing and one of the projects is to score a short piece of music to film. Logic Pro 9 is great for this (though beat mapping isn't the most friendly of functions) and my students (most only 16-18 years old) have made some great projects.
Right the question is what are the best settings to use when exporting the audio to movie? Some students don't get any sound when bounced or some are getting the oprginal with the new audio (doubled).
To assess and store student work we use vimeo for video projects and the wierdest thing is that when uploaded these bounces (the ones that worked) have no sound at all.
Never had these issues with Logic 8 and just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can resolve this?
Thanks and happy new year.

I've used flip4mac for about a year and have had no problems with it. I mostly use it to export preview versions for windoze people. The quality is very good, though it takes significantly longer to export than a similar-quality quicktime movie.

Trouble with audio files when imported from audio window

after "bouncing" and audio region and importing it (onto a new track) into the arrange window from the audio window, I can't seem to control any parameters like volume and pan for the imported clip. Is this somehow locked?

sure....say I record a clip in track one with a bunch of plugins....export the clip to the audio region...then import back to the arrange...
First of all it won't let me play the clip in Track 2, but if I shift the clip to track 3 it'll play....BUT I can't control the volume or pan .....very strange. I hate freezing stuff...although I have been for ages....but if this works it'll be cool....
Thanks...

Trouble with audio files and Garage Band 10

Hi. I am having a very uneven experience using GB10. I sometimes successfully record tunes with more than one audio file (i.e. choosing the microphone option when creating a new track). But two things keep happening.
1. I sometimes cannot hear my instrument even though I have clicked on the input monitoring button. I play the instrument and I see no indication on screen (via green squares moving from left to right) that any signal is being received.
2. I sometimes experience a delay with a live instrument--I play the instrument and the note sounds a split second later. I am familiar with using the Smart Controls...this is not a deliberate echo effect.
These have ground my recording to a halt. Any input into why these things are happening would be most welcome! David

Having trouble with audio edit to tape, print to video ok

Hi all, please go easy on me, this is my first post.
I am having difficulty getting audio on to tape via 'edit to tape'.
The hardware is blackmagic decklink extreme, feeding component video and analoge audio to a UVW-1800P.
I can do a print to video on a crash record and the audio works that way, but edit to tape does not.
I have tried both deck link and built in audio in the audio settings and the FCP a/v settings, seperate and ganged output settings, I have set the insert settings to 2 channel Sony, reloaded the decklink drivers.
The irritating thing is the audio is there whilst cutting, but as soon as I try edit to tape there is complete silence. The important thing is that it worked a few weeks back but does not now, it must be a setting?
Thanks in advance for your help.
This machine I am working with this week is an Intel MacPro running FCP 5.1.2 and Mac OS 10.4.8
G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.
