Voice-over : setting prefs for length of pre-run?

Where would I set the prefs for the pre-run for Voice-over? I don't need the five seconds, just want to start right away.
Also, I notice that when I bring the original media (the recorded voice-over clip) from the Capture Scratch bin it's coming in as a stereo clip (one side of which is empty). Where could I set THAT particular pref, so it just comes in mono, as was the original recording (the original clip on the track on the timeline).
Sometimes I trash the original voice-over clip on the timeline and have to recover it from the Capture Scratch bin.
All ears,
Ben

Hi Nick,
What are the patch panel audio buttons? Haven't heard of them before (or I use them all the time but don't know they are called that).
Thank you for the preroll info. I'll just start my record. Aha... and that's why there was so much header on my audio clips. Mystery revealed.
You wouldn't know, off chance, how I can stay plugged into the discussion forums would you? In the earlier version of the forums I could sign in in the morning, and still be signed in at the end of the day.
Now it seems that if I leave the room, or the laptop goes into sleep mode, I've got to sign in again. And if I'm chasing down a particular response, like yours, if I have to sign in anew it takes me to the front page of the discussion, away from the actual discussion I'm trying to follow.

.png files open in browser even though I have set prefs for .png files to "Always ask" instead. How fo I force Firefox to save .pngs and not open in browser?

Forefox will not download or ask me to save .png files even though I set that file extension in Prefs -> Applications dialog box to be "Always ask"
I have to be able to donwload and save .png files and I can't do that if they load in a browser window.

I find it odd that the browsers on the Android platform can't support this on their own. I know that Google Chrome on it's full blown version for the PC is able to do so without using the Adobe software for the embedded PDF aka using "The Adobe PDF Link Helper" . I would love to see this change especially since I prefer Firefox over other browsers.

TS4242 how can I get the activation server to activate my phone?All of this happened because I accidently presed the voice over setting and it changed to that in the phone and my password wasnt working so I had to restore the phone to factory settings and

My iphone will not activate,it keepos sending me a message telling me the servers are down and I tried everything.somebody please help

Either your antivirus/firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com, your iphone is jailbroken, or your computer was used at some time in the past to hack or jailbreak this or some other iOS device. The first you can fix by disabling your security software. The 2nd you can't do anything about, and the 3rd you fix by editing your hosts file and removing the lines containing gs.apple.com.

Sound capture hardware/software for voice over work

Sorry if this is a little off topic,
Environment: Production Premium CS3 (Windows)
I'm doing voice over audio capture for web videos. Currently, I use Soundbooth or the sound card software (Creative Labs) to capture.
1. What is the best mic setup? I use a $30 headset boom mic. Is there a better way? I would rather record clean than spend time trying to clean up the audio. Any links to tutorials on setting up an audio studio?
2. Should I use Soundbooth to capture?
thanks for any ideas,
fred

I use a $50 headset. I use Sb to capture VO audio. I also use Sb to clean up the audio.
If your room is fairly quiet or if the background noise is constant, then you can clean up the audio in Sb quickly. No need to go to the expense and trouble of creating a studio.
The trick is to capture 15-30 seconds (sometimes you can get away with less) of "silence" in the room so that you can use it as a noise print for the NR tool in Sb.
I've had good success using about 75%-80% for the amount of reduction.

How to set up the default voice over sounds exactly like the Alex voice?

Hi,
Anyone know how can I find out the exactly settings of the New System Voice Over Sound that shipped with the v10.5 Leopard call Alex?
When I first opened the Voice Over set up windows, a voice called Alex greeting me and said it is the new voice of 10.5, it sounds very natural with the exactly right rate, pitch and volume.
But when I later try to go into the voice over set up menu to get the exactly sound as my default setting, I can't reproduce the same sound quality... can anyone know how to fix this?
thanks in advance!!

I did. Their technical team knows very little about iPhones, and tried to refer me to the local Israeli dealer (iDigital) which doesn't support iphones at all, so I'm kind of stuck.
I found a few posts on the Interenet talking about using *5005*86 to program the iPhone's modem through them, but I couldn't figure what to type exactly to make it work...

Anyways, thanks for the help.

Voice Over Help-How do I stop unwanted scrolling?

Okay so I've just discovered the voice over feature a few days ago and I've already learned the controls and have been using it for reading fanfiction on Safari because I'm too lazy to read it myself. My problem is that everytime I lock my screen or my battery runs low and it gives me a warning, **** even if I go to another tab or try to have a word defined for me, after I'm done the screen will annoyingly scroll to the top of the **** page! Leaving me to do that annoying three finger scroll thing to get all the way back to where I was. I've checked my setting to see if there was a way to make it stop but I couldn't find anything. I already searched it on the internet but most-**** if not all of the questions regarding the voice over is how to turn it off.
So can somebody please tell me there is a way to make it stop scrolling to top of the screen everytime I divert from the page I was originally on? I fear that there isn't and I'm going to but stuck with this annoying feature forever. Seriously why would the programmers program for that to happen? It has no usefulness that I can think of, if I wanted to scroll to the top of the page I would do so by using the two finger flick up.

Well that's good enough for me, I'm not as agitated as I was before about it. I actually found a way to stop it from scrolling up by quickly tapping the screen before it's to late. It's worked for everything except when I go to a new page and come back. I assume voice over was meant for a blind person and not a lazy person like me.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Voice Over keeps saying things!

At first I thought it was just a programs setting. I have it so this program, weather snitch, would open each time I logged in and it shows a weather icon (sun, cloud, etc) and the temp. Every now and then my computer's voice over (which is set to off) would say the city and the temperature. So, I turned that program off. Then, when using FireFox, it said there was an update for something. It just said something now about Safari now. How do I stop this? It is very annoying!

The voice overs have stopped for some reason, maybe because I checked and then unchecked the voice over box. I don't know, but thanks anyways!
That often happens; changing a setting seems to force the program to take it into account properly.

IPod nano and Voice Over mode problems

The iPod Nano keeps going into Voice Over mode despite it being in the "Off" position under settings. Am I doing something to override the settings and how can I get it to stop?

you may have enable voice over set in the iTunes settings
to turn it off do the following
-connect ipod to computer
-when ipod shows up in the left column of iTunes under "devices" click on the ipod name
-in the summary page, scroll down to the bottom of the page until you get to a section that says "options"
-under options deselect the checkbox next to "enable voice over"
-click apply and that should turn it off
hope this helps:)

Recently, voice over automatically activates on my Macbook.

I notice it doesn't show up until I logoff (e.g., if I want to switch to another user account). Then it starts announcing and highlighting everything on the logon page. I can turn it off with the command-F5 key toggle, but it wasn't automatically turning on before. The "voice over" setting is not checked in Settings. Anyone else having this issue?

Not sure which settings you are referring to ...
Deselect Enable VoiceOver in System Preferences > Accessibility > VoiceOver

Voice Over Sync and iPod Shulle 3GS

Hi,
after upgrade to iTunes 9.1.1 (and also Voice Over "plug-in" for my iPod Shuffle 3GS) each time that I connect my iPod, iTunes start to sync ALL voice over messages for all tracks. I' sure that in previous release there isn't it.
Same problem also in iTunes 9.2
Regards.
Thank you for attention.

Also with last VoiceOver kit 1.4 and iTunes 10.1 there is same problem.
Do you know if it is quite normal with last release?
Regards.

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

Recommended microphones for Voice Over use

I have tried plugging in my Sony wireless microphone, and also a shotgun mic into the line in port, but with no success. The mics aren't being recognised by Final Cut.
Can anyone advise me what I am doing wrong, or recommend a different microphone that I should be using?
Thanks

There are a number of places to check to ensure the system is accepting audio from the Line In port.
1. In the Voice Over tool, look in the middle of the window and SOURCE to Built-in Audio and set INPUT to Line In.
2. In: the Blue Apple on the menu bar>System Preferences>Audio - make sure you have set the imput to Line In
3. In Utilities> Audio Midi Setup>Audio Devices - make sure you have the Default Imput set for the line in port on your mac.
It has been noted by many people that the files brought in this way (through VO) often need serious gain added (aka - they are very quiet and the volume needs to be increased). A mic pre-amp is a good idea. Otherwise, you can either bump the gain in FCP or use an external audio app (i use peak) to bring it up to desired levels.
good luck,

IPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

My daughter's iPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature while Voice Control allows you to control the Music app via voice.
To turn off VoiceOver triple click the Home button and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Use three fingers to scroll if necessary.

I bought my macbook pro this morning. When I turned it on it led me through set up with voice over. I finally quit VO but my pointer is not working. It moves but does not open anything. Can anyone help?

Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

Hi, I can not get my iphone 4 voice over function to work. I turn it on and then it turns off automatical. I ok the message the message stays on the screen for 30 secs or so and then turns it off????

I am unable to turn on the voice over function on Iphone 4. The meesage appears informing me of what the functions does, I press ok and the the message stays on the screen for 30 secs or so and then it automatically turns the voice over function "off" - why???? what am I doing wrong?

I just had this same issue. It occured after I joined my school's Wi-Fi. Suddenly, my home ATV2 and iPhone4 weren't on speaking terms. All five other iphones, ipads, and macs were operating as they should. My phone was not. I tried everything: unplugging and restarting ATV2, deauthorizing all my devices and reauthorizing them, deleting and reinstalling remote app, and countless home sharing on and offs on all devices. Finally, I turned the Wi-Fi off and then on in the setting of my iphone. Boom. Situation remedied. I hope this helps.
