Video/ Audio linking

When I move the video in a sequence, the audio does not move with it, even though the clips are linked. Is there something I am missing???? New user to CS3 and never had this problem with earlier versions

It's also an oft overlooked fact that one can rename tracks. If you want a visual relationship between a video and an audio track, rename them to something that makes sense to you. ;)

  • Video & Audio Linked Tracks Will Not Modify Together - FCP 6

    I have a weird phenomenon w/FCP 6. When attempting to modify the length of video and audio clips that are linked (even Slug from the Generators area). I can only 2 either the audio or video, not both. Is there a setting which I need to modify? I would prefer to do this rather than re-install the whole thing. Thanks.

    Clips that are linked have their names as undelined text in the timeline.
    Clips that are not linked haven't.
    So Check if they are linked. If not. Select and use Command L to Link.
    AFTER that. Linked Selection can be switched on and off.
    When Link is on. Then clicking on a Videoclip selects Video AND audio.
    When Link is off. Then clicking on a videoclio selects video ONLY and NOT it's Linked Audio.
    To toggle Linked Selection On and Off use SHIFT L.
    edit: oh, almost forgot. ALT clicking on a clip toggles temporaraly (as long as the ALT is being pressed). This way you can also easily trim edges that are linked, while linked selection is on. ALT click and drag on the cut then only trims the track (audio OR video) that you selected.
    Probably you are aware of this all. I just want to make sure...

  • A very unique Video & Audio Link Prob

    Hi, i've been thru a lot of the Q&A to try to resolve my prob but gave up. This might be a 'newbee'.
    One , lone clip on my timeline won't link. I've tried to link the vid & audio via the 'Shift+L" shortcut key and nudda. I've also tried via the edit/modify menu but the link options are not available (greyed out).
    I've noticed that the Vid track is not underlined where as both audio tracks are?. This may be a big clue to solving the mystery?
    Weird & frustrating!!!

    Shift+L is for toggeling Linked Selection (the button left for the snapping button in the top right corner of the timeline window)
    Keep that Linked Selection button toggeled (green). Then make sure your clips are linked. If you still have problems, it might help to trash your FCP Preferences. That can be done manually (/Users/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/), or you could use an application like FCP Attic or FCP Rescue. Remember to quit FCP before you trash the preferences.

  • Why is video clip linked to adjacent clip's audio?

    When I highlight a video clip in the timeline, the adjacent clip's audio, is also highlighted (not that of the clip it is associated with). I've checked and the link icon (interlocking chain) is green (active). So not sure if video & audio have become unlinked (for all clips).
    Is there any way to associate a clip's audio with its own video (instead of the one next to it)?
    Thanks!

    Unlink it from the current association (opt or cmd L - I can't remember right now), then select the ones you want to associate with and opt-or-cmd L...

  • IChat video/audio fails to work

    iChat video/audio fails to work 90% of the time. The error message says the other party failed to respond, or some other, similar, bogus "communication error" message.
    Invitation to video or audio chat fails 100% of the time with certain buddies of mine, and anywhere from 50% to 90% of the time with others, regardless of whether they invite me or I invite them. Changing ISPs, Macs, locations, or static/dynamic IP settings has made no difference.
    This problem surfaced with Tiger in the summer of 2007, and progressively became worse, especially since Leopard, to the point where iChat video/audio fails 100% of the time, unless the other user happens to be in the same [home] network.
    All of a sudden the problem went away since the upgrade to 10.5.6, and I was able to again use iChat video to communicate with friends I have not been able to "see" in a year and a half! However, the problem started again today, with the same bogus "communication error" message every time a video connection attempt is made.
    Screen Sharing also fails to work, 100% of the time, regardless of how it is invoked, through iChat or not, unless, again, it is attempted between 2 macs in the same home network.
    In the meantime, Skype video works fine all the time.

    Hi,
    Thomson-Alcatel by default do what is called Binding of SIP to port 5060
    This means ANY SIP data is forced to that port. iChat 4 no longer uses this port for SIP. It caused problems in iChat 2 and 3 which could be resolved when the firmware was Version 4 or earlier.
    How do I know ?
    Personal Experience from a Speedtouch 510v4 (running version 4.2.5 firmware)
    Hence the web page I linked you to.
    Built up from comments on the iChat 3 forum and the iChat 2 forum since 2004
    Search Results for iChat 3 (it will only go back to about Nov 14th 2005 when the software Apple Uses to run the forums changed - some active threads did cross over this date so occasional ones are older)
    Smaller results from iChat 2
    The work by iBoise in this forum and the ADSLGuide's Apple Forum
    Known issues for the BT HOME HUB in Britain as it is a Thomson-Alcatel inside.
    Because the fix on Page 4a in the orignal link I gave, worked until Version 5 firmware came out.
    As I clearly said the results can be intermittent.
    With non Speedtouches it tends to be a 10:10:30 split out of 50 Buddies
    10 you can get all the time.
    10 now and then Buddies and
    30 Never successful.
    The Original Version 4 Telnet command would make this 100% successful to non Speedtouch devices
    In Version 5 it becomes about 15:10:25 which only marginally better.
    Later versions of the firmware do not even seem to reach these figures.
    Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections are better but still not 100%
    I would guess you live some where where Speedtouch's are popular and have many Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections that fair slightly better than average.
    Last time I had contact with iBoise on this the Firmware was at version 7 and he was in the process of evaluating it for any changes.
    There has been no announcement. In this case I don't think No News is Good News.
    I hope this helps.

  • Insufficient Bandwidth when trying for video/audio chat?

    When my Dad is away, I like to talk to him on iChat.
    When my Dad tries to invite me to a video/audio chat, it comes up with a message, saying: insufficient bandwidth to run this conference.
    I have tried altering the bandwidth on Preferences, but it doesn't seem to work!?!?!
    Any answers to my question?
    Thanks.

  • IChat Video/audio preferences hangs up

    heLLo,
    Recently, whenever I wanna change the preferences of the video or audio (let's say change the bandwidth or output) this windo hangs up for about a good minute, which rather longer than expected!!! Why??
    I only have conference recorder & iGlasses installed on it, and I don't think it did anything to it, as I've uninstalled them already to test: no success.
    I've tried to trash the pref files, but nothing. I might have to reinstall it with pacifist.
    Thanx

    Chris,
    thanx, but I've done all that already.
    But it seems I might have found what the problem could be:
    I use a D-Link Bluetooth USB , and I think for some reasons, if I wanna go in the system Pref in Bluetooth, it just hangs up. Same if I wanna connect Address Book with bluetooth, hangs up. So I disconnect the D-Link Bluetooth USB , and replug it, and works fine for a while until it happens again. When the bluetooth is workin, the video/audio pref in iChat are totally OK, no hangs up. (Guess when the iChat pref is looking for the bluetooth output or headset, and if the bluetooth module isn't properly working, then it might cause the hangs up).
    Now, why do my D-Link Bluetooth USB is doing that is another question. It simply plugged on USB2 hub (with AC adapter). So I might try to plug it straight at the backof the iMac to test.
    I've just trashed the Bluetooth pref (the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist one, are there any other I should trash?)
    Thanx. The Hunt carries on

  • How do I restore my video/audio in the Timeline of my project?

    The whole timeline has windows that are red that say Media Offline.  Where did my video/audio go??
    Where do I find it?  How do I restore it into the timeline I was working on with the project.  When I open the project I also get a question that wants to know where is a specific file pertaining to this project.

    Or, was it on a DVD, that you Imported directly, and now that DVD is not in the drive/burner?
    When media is listed as Off-line, just as Steve mentions, the link between the Project file (.PREL) has been broken. This can happen, when one Moves files, Renames files, or those files are, for some other reason, not where the program last saw them. This ARTICLE will give you a bit more background on the .PREL files, plus some tips on Save/Save_As, etc.
    Usually, one gets warning messages, and PrE will help you locate your files. It does a good job of this. Did you get any messages, when you Opened this Project? Did you Move, or Rename any media files?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • P2 Card Video/Audio Separate?

    Hey everyone, I'm new to P2 footage and have recently shot on the HVX. Now first thing I notice, is that the audio and video are separate. Why is that? Is there a way in premiere to sync them up without linking every clip? Thanks in advance.

    To me its a yes.
    Thats a confirmation from me  that you can independently manage .mxf files outside the P2 structure that you maintain can not be done without "breaking" something
    Whatever...
    I dont get why you need to rename files but I guess you have your reasons within your own edit and shoot workflow.
    Renaming files  just does not figure in my primary  workflow that I use in shooting and editing  tapeless media
    My tapeless workflows... work perfectly for me.  They are simple, effortless and fast.
    Mostly they are "invisible"  (native) unless I choose to drill deeper into the Contents folder for various reasons as mentioned above.
    Usually, I see and use only a Video file  eg.  xxxx.mxf and if it is synch sound or MOS thats all I get in the Project Bin  (one clip / one file)
    P2 in practice ...is a single file from an editors and shooters POV.
    A single file from a camera would make no particular difference to me in the real world.
    Basically I shoot  "various" and I use whatever to get the results required.  I am not arguing for or against your single file (video / audio) but I felt you need to know that its no big deal or unusual to deal with.

  • Not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java soun

    Hi ,
    I need one help from your side.
    Here I am expecting some clarifications from you. Before that let you my environement.
    My working environment :
    Eclipse tool and added jmf jar to my project I did not do any thing more.
    If any thing I need to do just let me know. My target platform is MAC & UBUNTU.
    Please bare with my questions.
    1) I am not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java sound APIs on My system.
    ( I checked with the app mentioned in the http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/11201-jmf-cannot-connect-device.html )
    Do we need any administrives rights for our working PC.
    What is the procedure/ setup I need to follow from a java application to enable particular audio/video device since I dont about end-user system setup right.
    If possible send some sample code to recognize /r detect audio device ( voice input ). It should run on both MAC and UBUNTU.
    2) I run the one sample audio recording application of this link (http://www.jsresources.org/examples/SimpleAudioRecorder.java.html) which is provided by YOU.
    I got output audio file and able to hear voice on UBUNTU system but not able to hear voice on MAC system.
    I heared that default line in ( audio setup of the sys) is wont take any voice data on MAC.Why I made this stmt means we are getting false when using isSupported methods of JAVA SOUND API.
    ( like for TragetdataLine ...i,e, all ports are getting false)
    I have one sample audio recording app implemented by QUICKTIME API. In this case also he taking audio ftom device only using quicetime API.
    With that we are able to record and hear audio ( voice input --> not line in , external device we added some thing like SSB...)
    3) In case of Video capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PullBufferDataSource , PullBufferStream intefaces used.
    In case of Audio capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PushBufferDataSource, PushBufferStream intefaces used.
    Can you explain the reasons ? I gone through API but i am not clear.
    HOPE I WILL BE CLARIFIED EVERY THING FROM YOU.

  • 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

  • Help-Very bad video/audio delay with China user

    I am using iChat with snow leopard in U.S. and my son is using iChat from China with leopard. We can bring up iChat. He can see and hear me clearly, but there is about a 10 second delay. I can see him but the video is very pixelated, blurry, and slow. His voice is delayed and somewhat garbled.
    He has wireless internet in China, but I'm wondering if there's something we can do to improve the video/audio. We are both fairly new to the Mac, so any help is appreciated.
    Thanks for the help!!

    Sandra Foster who used to post in iChat 2's forum used to be the most experienced
    http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=China&objID=f900&dateRange= all&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
    I have linked a Search.
    However the issue goes back further than the current Forum Software and the early ones are not accessible.
    It may also pay to change the Criteria of the Forum option to read iChat 3 and see if there are any others. (I think Sandra posted in iChat 3 but took longer to update to Panther)

  • My Imovie audio links did not work, found a fix you may need

    Guys and girls,
    Just to make it easy to find.
    My Imovie lost most of its audio links after one of the audio songs had a yellow exclamation mark after it. 
    After lots of searching, someone suggested that after you delete the "corrupt" link they all fix themselves.
    This worked for me.  After I deleted it and replaced it with a "fresh" copy, they all worked.
    After wiping the sweat from a nervous brow, I made a "copy" on my firewire and HDD.
    just thought I'd pass on this tip.

    Hello Wade,
    the problem seems to be the audio. Give us a little more info on what audio you used in the iMovie project (original audio, music, MP3, Aiff...).
    Also: what audio setting does your camcorder have? Should be 16-bit, 12-bit is a big no-no with iDVD, see this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=494268&tstart=0&start=45
    12 hours seem a long time to encode 45 min of video ... your mac should be able to do that in 4-5 hours max. I would suggest you convert all MP3 audio to AIFF before importing to iM.
    If your original audio is 12-bit you can try to export the whole audio (original & music) via QT using the audio only option with 24-bit Integer, then re-import into iM.
    Get the latest QT update, if you haven't done so already.
    Also do some basic iDVD troubleshooting:
    1. free some space on the startup drive (15-20GB recommended)
    2. Trash preferences (com.apple.iDVD.plist) and empty trash
    3. Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility
    4. Clear Cache Files (Tools: CacheOutX, Onyx)
    Have a look at what John Beatty says in this thread about iDVD trouble shooting:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=508221&tstart=0
    Third attempt burn to disc image. end up with two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. the audio folder is empty. no image
    the AUDIO_TS folder being empty is perfectly normal for Video DVDs, only music DVDs have audio in that folder
    hope this helps

  • Video-audio signals through firewire?

    Gentlemen, we need to export our video-audio signals of our projects from timeline to a DV tape external deck recorders or a Betacam to be recorded into tapes too. In FCP7 we did it through the firewire i/o option from the timeline, but with FCPX we found it is not possible. Do you know if the version FCP X.3 will let me do this task? We edit long projects, as Broadcast programes for Television of one or two hours duration, in iMacs i5 stations.
    Thanks to all.

    I have the same problem here, having spent much time getting a workflow sorted in order to use Soundtrack Pro 2.02 via exported markers from Final Cut for a dubbing project it seems that when video is output onto a second screen the audio disappears (desktop preview).
    Also get a message after about 5 seconds saying that ST Pro can't play the audio due to hard disk not fast enough (I can run a 36 track mix in Logic..) and to remove 'Long files' or quit apps, but am not running anything else and I only have one audio track!
    Another thread with a similar issue suggested rebuilding permissions, this I have done and verified drive, plus tried using an external drive for files too. No difference. Seems interesting that the possible link is due to FCP export? I noticed at one point that ST was still referencing the original clips in FCP even after making them independent and exporting as separate files.
    Also can't see the Timecode hud when it is on the second monitor when video is playing there (shows fine on desktop on second screen). It's vital to be able to see the timecode over the presented video as this is being fed to a dubbing cabin.
    Come on Apple give us some support here as it seems rare that such problems get any direct answers from you! I've just paid a packet for the Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio suites and our whole production is being delayed by these issues (and many others!)

  • Video - Audio out of sync on long clips - CC 7.2.2

    When I import long DivX-encoded videos (90+ minutes), video-audio is synced perfectly near the start of the clip.
    But 60 minutes in, the audio is about 1-second ahead of the video - like a badly-produced Kung Fu movie from the 1970s.
    Near the end of the clip it is even worse.
    I have been Unlinking clips so I can move audio and video independently, but it has tripled the time required to complete a job.
    Any idea how to resolve this?

    Thanks for the speedy reply and the link.
    I would like to try converting to a different format  -  I expect to lose some quality but that's ok.
    Can you recommend a couple formats to convert to?  And, even better, the names of some apps that are up to the task?  :-)  I can google around looking for them but it costs nothing to ask.
    Thanks again John!
