Voice-over tracks continue to go offline after closing out FCPX.

This problem occurs on both my imacs. Does anyone have ideas on how to prevent this. My email is -------------
Thanks
<Edited by host>

Hmmm... Are you ingesting / optimizing the VO into your "events library" and allowing the application to make "copies to events?" (It's a toggle switch on the import dialogue box)
It sounds like you are having FCPX access the original files from the original media platform.
If so, let your VO files join the party inside FCPX. Re-ingest them toggling THESE parameters:

Replace visual selection, dont touch voice over track? how?

My movie has a supplementary audio track now (voice over they call it even tho it is music).
All I want to do is replace 19 seconds of part of the movie with 19 seconds of another part of the movie.
Yet every split, every cut, every copy changes the length or placement of the voice over track, tho i never select the voice over track. So
I need to know how to replace a section without touching the track. please and thanks !!
Steve Z

If i cut the 19 seconds visual, and replace the 19 seconds visual, the track itself now becomes 19 sec. short unless I can pull it back out of somehwere?
IN other words, I need kind of a replace feature: replace this visual selection with that visual selection; nothing else changes?
Surely this can be done some how? Seems very elementary.

Firefox claims that it is already running and will not let me start a new session after closing out

I've been having this problem intermittently on both my Dell XPS 8000 and my HP nx7400 laptop. The Dell is running the latest version of Windows 7 Pro and the HP is running XP Pro (fully updated). After closing out of a Firefox session and running other apps, Firefox will not let me initiate another session, saying that "Firefox is already running... Please close the session..." That's not an exact quote, but you get the idea. CTRL-ALT-DEL and all other conventional means don't work and I am forced to reboot the system. This is a royal pain.. and I need some pain relief! Any suggestions? I may revert to an earlier version of Firefox until I see a solution... can't hurt, but I really like 4.0 and I don't look at going backwards as "progress."
Thanks.

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

Voice over track gone silent

Hello,
I have a video on top of which I have added a voice over (my mom commenting on some 40 year old captured 8mm movies) in the audio track underneath the video track. Worked just great, but last time I opened the file, my voice over audio has gone silent. Each voice segment still shows, but I do not see the audio waveform anymore. When I take a voice segment and drag it on my hard disk, it produce a voice xx.mov file, which Quicktime would not open (I get a message like: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie").
I have, of course ensured that all volume settings on the mac and in iMovie are set properly (check boxes at the right f the tracks, volume slider below the video preview, etc.) I have also tried to view package by control-clicking on my iMovie file and clicking on "show package": I checked the content of the Media folder: all my voice file appear, but when I rty and open any of them, quicktime would not open them.
Has anybody had the same issue? Any way I could resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated as it took forever to record these voice-overs.
Thank you in advance, Regis

Voice Over and continuous reading

Hello,
Is there any way to get Voice Over to read a long document, such as a long web page, continuously from a starting position to the end of the document without user intervention? Windows screen readers do this via their read to end feature which automatically moves the cursor down the document reading as it goes, automatically scrolling as necessary. You can press Control at any time to stop the reading to explore an item at the current reading position in more detail, then later restart the continuous reading from your new position. This is extremely useful but I cannot fathum out a way to do this on the MAC using Voice Over.
I initially thought that vo+A would do the job, but alas no. At least in Safari it only reads the current paragraph. You then have to press vo+CursorDown to read the next paragraph wich is very tedious in a long document.
If there is no such function yet in Voice Over I would strongly urge Apple to add it in the future.
Many thanks.

Hello Paul,
Have you tried locking the VO keys? This won't make VO do what you want, but it does reduce the number of keystrokes required. Use VO-semicolon to lock the keys, then Shift-Page Down will read by paragraph, while Page Down reads by sentence. On a laptop, Page Down is fn-Down Arrow.
Alternatively, you could consider splashing out for Ghost Reader from ConvenienceWare. This provides a tape-recorder style interface, enabling you to play/pause, start/stop, fast forward and rewind on any text. You can buy it standalone or bundled with extra voices to vary your reading experience or increase the number of languages available to you.
A great many VO users have asked for the read-to-end feature, so it's likely to be provided quite soon.
Hope this helps,
Archie

In iOS iMovie, can I create a new voice over track while listening to the video clip's audio?

Can I hear the original track of a video clip while adding a voice over using iOS iMovie? When I try to record a voice over for a clip that already has video, the video's audio is muted.

Forget it-- I figured it out.

Help. Does anyone know why my voice-over tracks go keep going off-line? Im not deleting anything

After voicing my project, I reboot the system so it would burn my DVD. I come back to the project and the first two voiceovers are in red(meaning offline)?
Thank you for your help. Jeff

I would check your drive with Disk Utility. Maybe it needs to be repaired?

Editing a Voice Over Track

Hi:
Simple task. How do you do it? I have a VO track that has too many silent spaces. I want to be able to edit out the silent spaces so the VO is more fluid. How do edit out the silent, and join one piece of voice to the next pick up o the voice?
Any answer greatly appreciated.

Continue to play iTunes after closing MacBook Pro

I recently got my MacBook Pro, and I was speachless when I found that when I closed my laptop that my music would continue to play. I would walk around campus playing music with a closed laptop-it was great. But then I needed to restart my computer, and after the reboot this function was disabled somehow. How can I get this feature active again? I really want to know.
Thanks.

I think your machine just flaked out for whatever reason. It is not supposed to do that. You can disable sleep while the lid is closed with software such as InsomniaX.
However, I must warn you that use of this software is dangerous. You are not supposed to use the machine this way. In theory, you can use it while the lid is closed when connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. So, software like InsomniaX might be OK.
I am positive that you do not want to keep your Mac in a bag while doing this. It would definitely overheat and cause damage. Considering how much a replacement MacBook Pro will cost, perhaps you should consider an iPod instead.

After closing out, FF will not restart, says it is already running forcing me to reboot. I have removed and re-installed FF and still get the same message when trying to open the internet using FF. How can this be fixed?

When I close out Firefox, and return later to use the internet, I click on Firefox and it gives me a message stating that Firefox is already running and needs to be closed before restarting or reboot my system. This occurs every time Firefox is closed and attempt to re-start it,,, not only at times,,,, EVERY time.
I have tried removing Firefox from my system and re-installing to fix this issue however,,, this did not work. After re-installing, I still get the same message when attempting to restart Firefox.
I have also tried Ctrl, Alt, delete to open the task manager and find there is no task to close.
I do not have any problems when using IE, I prefer to use Firefox as it is faster and crashes less than IE.
I am very frustrated at having to reboot my system each time I want to use the internet.
How can this problem be repaired?

There are various causes for this error, see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] for details.

Tried to open a new catalog after closing out first one in Lightroom 3.

After finishing work in one catalog & closing it out, I opened a new one to begin working. LR shut down and now when I try to open it to work I get a message "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working" and at the top of my screen that reads "Lightroom - Opening Catalog: CSC_0895.JPG.lrcat. Can someone help me with this or explain what is going on? I called tech support and requested a call back, was told call back would be in 4-6 minutes, and never got it! I understand that techs are busy, but so am I (kids, photography business, and a high school teacher prepping for mid-terms!) and when I say I'm going to call someone back in a certain amount of time, I do! I have a project that was to be finished TODAY to get out tomorrow and now I can't. Please Help b/c adobe support isn't.

will other lrcat files open for you? like the one you just closed.
If so then your CSC_0895.JPG.lrcat. could have a problem. My first thought is that I wouldn't recommend naming a file" .jpg.lrcat" since it could cause an issue. rename it "_jpg.lrcat " and try opening it.
If that doesn't work try to open from a backup of that lrcat if you have one.
If none of this works or if none of your lrcat files will open then do the standard restart of you computer.
If lightroom still won't start then reinstalling LR will not affect the lrcat files saved on your computer.
let me know what happens

Locking up after closing out a second X server

Hi,
When I run a another program (Urban Terror) in a second X server, it runs perfectly fine, but when it comes time to closing it, I can either close it properly, or use ctrl+alt+backspace.
Either way I do it, it brings me to just a black screen, and then nothing...it just sits there.
The keyboard won't work to switch to the original server either.
Something I noticed that happens is that if I press caps lock/num lock the green led does not light up in these cases where it should normally glow.
Does anyone know how to fix this so when I close the last program/terminate all programs in the second x server that it will return to the first x server?
Thanks,
Ethan

I used a sh script to start it up:
#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:1.0
xinit /home/ethan/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror.i386 $* -- :1
I think that is it, I am typing that out of my head since I am at a different computer currently (blackberry)
Hope that helps,
Ethan

Voice-over audio goes offline for no reason. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

This is happening on both my editors. I will add a voice-over track to the storyline and if I close out that project or close out FCPX, sometimes my voiceover track is offline. NO, I DID NOT MOVE THE FILE OR ERASE ANYTHING. I appreciate any input.

Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Adding voice over to after effects project

Hi,
I'm very new to after effects and so far am mastering the basics and introducing keyframes to adjust opacity, position etc. I'm pretty happy with what I have created thus far on my project, but now I wish to record a voice over on my video. I know I can create a voice over track in audition, but I would like to see the preview of my video while I speak to I can time myself right etc. I have always done this very easily in iMovie.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please even if it means having a preview of my video in audition.
Thanks,

The way you want to do this is a little bit backward for AE. The most common way to work is to import an audio file of the voiceover, and then animate using the voiceover as a reference.
So I'd recommend just recording the voiceover, importing it into AE, then adjusting your AE animation. It shouldn't take very long.

FCPX has no audio tracks so how to add effects on voice over?

I imported my voice over track. Then, I proceeded to chop it up and move it to the appropiate points in the time line. However, now there are no "tracks" how can I EQ the whole thing in one go? All the individual choped up clips moved up and down willy-nilly into different empty areas of the time line.
Cheers
Waddo

I do VO work all the time, daily. Record it, make that a Connected Timeline (if it is not in the Primary Timeline already), then chop it up as you normally do, and then align it with the audio first. Then make it all a Compound Clip. Apply the EQ or whatever sweetening you need to the Compound Clip.
Here are articles about doing VO with FCPX:
