Video & Audio Files Logged & Captured Independently. Why?

Hello All,
I've been working with a Panasonic DVX 100B for some time now. I've had nothing but success in shooting footage, and transferring it to my computer using the Log & Capture function. On my latest attempt something has happened that I can't figure out. The video and audio are captured, but they are not linked. In other words, I can find the video file in my Capture Scratch / Project Folder, but when I import it into my project, there is no audio accompanying it. I can however find the audio file in the Audio Capture Scratch, and import that. When placed at the same playhead location on the timeline, they are perfectly in sync. This is nice, but it makes editing an unnecessary struggle.
I tried logging and capturing twice, to see if it was just a glitch. The same thing occurred.
Did I bump something inadvertently? What's happening? Finally, is there a way to permanently connect the audio and video now, or do I need to log and capture again (3rd time being a charm)?
Thanks.
DG

You changed the capture scratch disk setting.
• Uncheck "capture audio and video to separate files".
To link the audio and video
• Once the audio and video are in the timeline and aligned, select them then: Modify>Link (⌘+L)

In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

Audio in log & capture

I don't have a search bar either, so I have to ask - I have FCP studio. How can I get audio during log & capture?
Thanx

The way most people [editing DV] would do it is to connect an external TV monitor and speakers to their DV device's analog outputs.

Recording video/audio files using Flash Meida Server through rmtp, and allow users to access the recorded files through http.

As titled, what is the way to record video/audio files using Flash Meida Server through rmtp, and allow users to access the recorded files through http?
What I am trying to do, is to record a user's microphone's input and save it to the server. Afterwards, I would like other users to be able to access the recorded files and mainuplating the audio data, by computeSpectrum(), to do some visualization of the audio. As I know computeSpectrum() cannot work on streaming files, so I think I need to access the recorded files using http instead of rmtp. Is that true?
How can I redirect the http request to the files I was recorded into my applications/appName folder? Or I need to somehow moved the recorded files to the /webroot folder?
Thanks!

I probably have asked a stupid question.
My recorded streams are still saved in the applications/appName/streams folder.
And I redirect the www.mydomain.com/streams to point to the applications/appName/streams folder.
And the rmtp recorded streams are abled to connect through http now.

FCX & Compressor 4 - output audio is hiss for older video/audio files

Hello - I'm using FCPX and Compressor 4. I'm compiling video files that go back to thirteen years old. FCX has been handling the files very well. They all look and sound as expected in the viewer and project playback. I've mixed the audio with an additional soundtrack and am happy with the results. However, when I move the project to Compressor (or even if I export it using FCX) the older files look as expected, but have a terrible hiss. All other audio is filtered out or overwhelmed. All the newer files sound just fine. The file types are a mix that were captured using over a dozen different digital cameras.
Can anyone recommend an appropriate audio output setting that might alleviate my problem with hiss? I've searched all over, but don't see any similar question.
thanks!
Alex

Below are screenshots the Quicktime Inspector and FCP HUD for two of the troublesome clips. They play and sound fine when previewing in FCP, it's just the saved files that sound terrible!
I removed the soundtrack and exported to Compressor. The resulting file had hiss for all of the same offending clips.
Thanks for your help with this frustrating issue.

Video audio-file artwork problem

Can I get my iPod to display artwork for videos I rip myself? When I look at the song file of the video under the labums section, the artwork does not appear on the iPod even though it does in iTunes. Any ideas? All videos also get added into the song library of the iPod so that you can choose to play only the audio if, say, the iPod is in your pocket and you do not want to waste battery power on the visual you are not watching. Artwork then shows up with the song information, as if it was a normal song. This only occurs for me with the video I bought from iTunes, and not the ones I made myself. I want to change that.

Well.... I removed Garage band, rebooted and problem solved.

How to remove first 7 seconds of imported video & audio files

I've imported 2-hour audio & video files (edited in FCP, then taken to Compressor) into my DVDSP project.
Can I now edit out the first 7 seconds of what I imported, before I burn the DVD? If so, how? (I want to remove a title that I should have removed originally in FCP, but didn't. Don't want to wait hours to re-compress the files.)

There is no editing in DVD SP. If you want to edit out the first 7 seconds you will have to do that in FCP.
An alternative is to put a chapter marker at the 7 second spot and then target that. The problems with this is that you might not be able to put the chapter marker on the exact frame you might want, and people can rewind and discover those 7 seconds.

How should i export already h.264 compressed video/audio files after i edit them?

I am recording gameplay footage off computer with a program that compresses the video and audio. After I edit the footage how should i export it? I don't want to lose quality by double compressing it.

No.
You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.

Hmc150 Video files disappear or aren't imported during Log & Capture

I'm having a terrible problem when importing video clips using Log & Capture on FCExpress.
The clips are on 5 different SDHC cards, recorded on a hmc150.
Some clips appear just fine. But when I search for clips after the import only about half of them are there. Also FCE is naming each clip in chronological order, often replacing previously captured clips. This results in no order.
I cannot trust that my computer uploaded what it says is there.
I'm using a 17" MacBook Pro with intel. And saving my clips on an external harddrive. Plenty of RAM. Plenty of storage space.
Why is FCE spacing out?? Could it be the card reader?

I am experiencing the same thing (I think).
I'm running a Mac Pro with FCE 4.0.1 and a Sony HDD HD Camcorder. I'm importing from a saved copy of the Camcorder's HDD (running from a local HDD). I'm importing about 2000 clips, and about 3/4 of the way in, clips look like they're importing fine, but are not showing up in the Clips list. Then I go back and see that instead of adding new clips, it was actually over-writing other clips that I had imported earlier in the same Log & Transfer process.
It's frustrating, and has happened multiple times, with different groupings of clips. There is then a lot of backtracking because there is no date/time metadata in the imported clips.
Any help would be appreciated, or if it is a known and unresolved issue, it would be nice just to know I'm not crazy.
Thanks.

Embeding Video/Audio with a Premiere Pro Project File

Can anyone tell me how you can Embed your video/audio files with a Premeire Pro CS6 project file? Copying all the original footage from your specific project and placing it into a folder with the project file? Thanks alot.
Brandon C.

You can't. The only asset from a PP project that can be embedded into the project file are PP generated titles. Everything else will always be a separate file on the hard drive.
As for copying those separate files to a single location, I personally recommend using the proper tool for the job. File management should always be done using a file manager, like Windows Explorer or Finder.

Can you embed video/audio in a captivate file?

i was wondering if it's possible to somehow embed video/audio files in a captivate slideshow so that no sidecar files are required?
or will i always need to keep seperate linked mp3 and flv files along side the captivate file?
thanks!

okay thanks shekhar for you reply : ) i don't have much experience with captivate, only flash.
i think i've figured out that when inserting an audio file (e.g. .wav) the file is actually embedded in the cptx file, meaning you don't need the .wav file as a seperate file (like for example the way linked files in indesign work).
however, for video files, i still don't know if it works the same way. are the files embedded? or linked?
let me put it this way: if i have a captivate file that has video and audio in it and i want to move the project to a different computer - do i need to take only the cptx file? or do i need to also move some media files as well?
thanks

Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

Log & Capture Sequence of steps help needed

I wonder if someone could help me find out what I’m doing wrong. I’m trying to accomplish a batch log & capture. As I understand it, I should choose File >Log & Capture. Start the camcorder and mark the In and Out points, Enter the logging information in the fields, then click, “Log,” then continue in this fashion marking the in and out points until completed. Then I click Batch Capture, and the software takes over rewinding the tape. It then moves forward capturing each segment. Something is not working right for me. Sometimes the individual clips appear in the left side column with red lines through them, which I think means the clip is offline. Is my sequence of steps correct?

Hi -
Your workflow is essentially correct, difficulties usually result from two problems -
1) The timecode on the tape is not in continuous, ascending order - example: the timecode resets to a lower timecode number half way through the tape. Now the computer does not know where to correctly find the logged clips.
AND
2) The in point you have marked does not allow enough pre-roll time for the tape to cue up, roll and lock video prior to your in point - example: you mark in on the first frames of a video clip that is starting immediately following a blank portion of tape. Now the computer does not have a legitimate video/timecode location to cue up to, to allow pre-roll to your selected in point.
