Video with 5.1 surround sound only shows up as center left and right in FCPX?

When I import a video that already has 5.1 surround sound, the clip will show up in only center left and right, according to the audio meters.  Other files with surround sound will sometimes play in only the center and left channel.  I know the file has 5.1 surround sound because it plays fine through my home theater and it shows there's 6 channels in video information....It just doesn't play right in Final Cut.

Make sure your Project Audio and Render Properties/Audio Channels are set for Surround:
You then need to define your audio stems in the Inspector based on channel, like this:

  • Enlarged photos show white borders on left and right margins

    Should these white margins be present when viewed in enlarged format? I can't get rid of these left and right margins when printing 4x6 borderless format so I assume it needs to be corrected in iphoto first.

    Did you crop your photos?
    Most digital cameras use a 3:4 aspect ratio. When you print onto 4X6 paper, you will have bands on the sides of the photos. It's the same thing as watching a "letterboxed" movie on television with the bands at the top and the bottom.

  • Best practices export video with 5.1 surround sound

    I've created my first 5.1 FCPX project and would like to play on an Apple TV2 as well as a Windows 7 HTPC running Windows Media Center.  I've been trolling this and FCPX discussions and still having much difficulty.  I've exported Quicktime movie using ProRes 422, opened in Compressor 4 and verified that file has six channel audio.  I seletect target, HD for Apple Devices, Device Apple TV HD and select include 5.1 sound. 
    Here is the summary for output:

    Resulting m4v file only has 2 channels as seen in get file info and when playing on the ATV2 and HTCP.
    What am I missing here?
    TIA
    DJK

    I had the same problem - my findings:
    - source has 6 channels --> verified via inspector in Compressor
    I create 1 Job (in compressor) with exactly this source:
    - one with (a modified) "HD for Appledevices..." giving a *.m4v and "Include 5.1" checked - output is stereo
    - one with Quicktime - H.264 + Audio = 5.1  giving a *.mov that does have the 5.1 track
    So I consider case #1 as a bug in Compressor 4.02 or the Settings-profile.
    Anoying - because I am almost sure it worked in the past!

  • ITunes 7 playing only from left and right channels with 5.1 speakers

    I have an SB Audigy 1 sound card with Creative Inspire 5200 digital 5.1 speakers, and iTunes only plays audio from the left and right speakers, and the subwoofer. The other 3 speakers work; I've tested them.

    I am having more or less the same problems as you guys. Currently I use a soundblaster audigy 4 with "CMSS 3D" function ... it used to work with itunes but started to get all weird with the 7.0 update. If nobody knows how to fix this I will have to use 6.xx again :/
    I'd be grateful for any advice as well,
    thanks in advance.

  • My mac mini only shows a steady power light and fan noise when powered up. No video or sound and no commumication with wired keyboard or optical mouse. Tried replacing internal battery and resetting PMU/SMC but nothing seemed to happen. Any suggestions?

    You've already done the two things I would have suggested.
    If your Mini has an internal battery then I assume it's a G4. That means you've gotten a lot of good years of service from it, and it's old enough that it's certainly not covered by AppleCare anymore, and it's probably not worth spending money trying to repair it.
    You should be able to tear it apart using instructions from ifixit.com to get the hard drive out, and then put the hard drive into a nice USB or FireWire enclosure (I like the ones from Other World Computing, macsales.com) so you can transfer your data to a replacement Mac.
    I hope someone has another suggestion for you.

  • When I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

    Suddenly now when I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

    Only songs that are physically stored on the iOS device can be deleted with a swipe. Songs that have been listened to, and are in the temporary cache, apparently can not be deleted with a swipe. The easiest way to get rid of these songs is to go to Settings > General > Usage, tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list), swipe across "all music" then tap the delete button. This will delete ALL music on the device.
    Also, iCloud and iTunes Match are not the same service.

  • The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.

    The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.  When I open the app the screen is just blank. As it is a default app I can't delete and reinstall. Anybody else experience this?

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Importing Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen

    Why is it Importing WMV Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen.
    Thank You In Advance

    Forget about all the rest until you check out the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the current 1/2 wmv display related to a recent Windows Update kb file. I missed the wmv part of your initial question by focusing too much on the thread title.
    Here is a copy for your convenience
    Announcement: Windows Update Causes Half of Display to Be Blacked Out
    Hide Details
    MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
    "MS bulliten MS13-057.  Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
    For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files.  Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
    You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
    There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.

    I think that is your answer. Please let us know if that worked for you.

  • I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Turning it on then off doesn't help.

    I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.

    Thanks Lucas,
    I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info.  My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone.  Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple.  I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?

  • HT204291 I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver.  My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front.  When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on

    I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver.  My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front.  When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on the left.  When I watch Cable Television (not using the Apple TV), all 3 channels work fine so I know that the speaker connections are fine. 

    I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using.  The original one conflicted with my neighbor.  After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished.  Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi).  I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another).  :-)

  • 5.1 Surround Sound only outputting from one speaker on macbook

    I have connected my old LG LH T360SE home cinema system to my white 13" macbook (late 2007) from the headphone jack via an audio Y cable into the RCA audio input on the back of the home cinema system. Unfortunately when playing movies via Plex, VLC or any other media player the sound only outputs through the front left speaker and sub-woofer. I checked that the other speakers are connected by perfoming a connection test in the product's setup and there is some background noise if you put your ear up against them. The 5 speakers work fine when playing a DVD on the integrated DVD player. Is there any settings on the macbook I need to change to make use of the full 5.1 surround sound?
    Thanks

    You'll need to use an optical cable to get 5.1 surround. So you'll also need a little optical->mini-optical converter (which allows you to plug it into the 3.5mm jack).

  • 8Gb Touch 2nd gen problem. Only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem

    I have an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd gen and it's only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem.
    Any idea what I can do to fix this?

    you can connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode:
    Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
    Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device
    and restore it to default settings, in order to remove your password (or just remove your password directly from the iPod touch, in order to sync with iTunes)

  • My ipod's music quality is inferior. It doesnt have the surround sound/ left and right audio channel unlike my brothers ipod? is there a problem with the chip?

    I have an ipod touch 4g (8GB), I got this about 2.5 months ago, the same time my brother get his. My problem is that I noticed that audio quality is better on his device than mine. I have been listening to music and had different music devices before (non-Apple product and mobile phone) and the quality of music is better when I used to listen to those devices as well as my brother's ipod touch. Im referring to the left and right audio channels. Im not so good about the technical stuff but the best explanation I can give you is in a music or a movie, there's an effect wherein you can here a sound only at the left ear phone/speaker that you cant hear at the right earphone/speaker. I mean for example in a song, a guitar intro can be heared only at the left
    ear while the background music plays on the other ear. Or when theres and echo effect on the song that alternates sound on the left and right ear. I hope youre getting what Im trying to say. Im bothered that my ipod is fake or has an internal problem on the chips or something because I didnt bought this at an Apple Center/Mac Center. I bought it on a retailer. I am not able to visit any store or Genius Bar  or contact an apple specialist through phone because of my work schedule and work load.  I have contacted the retailer before when I tried to return it for replacement or repair but he told me that it is under Apple's warranty, not theirs. I do hope that I can get a help from you because I want to really enjoy my device. Thank you and Im looking forward for the responce/assistance form you.

    I suggest you don't apply pressure to the screen - it's a Touch - you touch the screen not push it.

    Hello jacquemac,
    Your first question:
    There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
    You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
    1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
    2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
    (what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
    3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
    4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and  "Insert page number" -> start at 1
    Your second question:
    Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
    greetings jl

  • How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

    How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

    There is a third-party program called Attachment Tamer that will do that for you.  In the Terminal, you can type this:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    Also note that while Attachment Tamer does some things with the encoding that makes certain email clients display the item as an attachment, what shows up at the receiver's end is solely dependent on their email client and its settings.
