Web Quicktime playing audio track only

When I access websites that provide streaming MPGQuicktime movies, only the audio track will play. I can't see any pictures.
This has only recently happened. If the site is providing WMV videos they play OK no problem.
I am using 10.3.9 and have installed the latest version of Quicktime but still no luck
thanks

Ok. This works. Sadly, I did not try the solutions one step at a time (remember the scientific method?) so I'm not sure which one was the fix. However, the Quicktime files now do play on apple.com/trailers or any other site with QT videos.
STEP 1: I did this one first and it is taken from another thread an posted by Baby Boomer:
Save and/or quit your applications & doucuments
Go to Applications>Utilities Folder
Click Disk Utility
Click the Volumn (HD) that you want to check.
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button. (Don't worry about verifying)
At the bottom of window when the repairs have finished, you will see the “most important thing”:
Permission Repairs Complete
The previliges have been repaired or completed on the selected volumn.
Restart your computer.
STEP 2: This one I did next and it was posted on anther thread by Borntostrum:
Go to HD> Library> Internet Plugins> Delete Quicktime Plugin.webplugin and restart your browser.
Hope that Helps!!
Well, it did help. Thanks to both Borntostrum and to Baby Boomer!

HT3775 Why doesn't QuickTime play audio for some avi videos?

Why doesn't QuickTime play audio for some avi videos? Is there a download to help resovle this.
I am running Mountain Lion, I have also installed flipformac, divx, and vlc. They are working fine.
Appreciate your answers.

You can only use QuickTime Player 7 to play that 12 year old format.

Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

Copying audio tracks only

I have a clip that the associated sound needs to be doubled, it's pretty faint... I need to get a higher volume level than what is available on the clip.
I'd like to try "doubling" that particular clips' audio, but can't seem to figure out a way to bring another copy of the audio.
When I try using option-drag, it re-arranges everything in the timeline. I've tried locking certain areas down, but no avail.
I tried bringing in the same clip (audio + video), and then deleting the video and using the audio, but it only brought in the video and not the audio... Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Audio tracks only playing the reverb portion

I'm having an issue with recorded audio tracks not getting played through the output properly. The only audio that I hear is related to the reverb effect on the track. I have been working on this project for a few days and it just started happening this morning. Everything was working fine before I saved it last night.
Example - I have a vocal track. I see via the track mixer the audio is playing but I barely hear any sound. I just hear reverb. If I turn the reverb plugin off (Im using the default GB reverb), I don't hear any audio. It's as if there is a hidden "send" track for the reverb, and the audio track is getting routed to the send track, but not the master track. That's why I only hear the reverb. Since the GB interface is so simple, I don't see a way to edit this or even check it. It's just my guess based on using other DAWs.
If I create a brand new track and drag the audio from "the bad track" - the audio plays. I have to re-add all the plugins I was using to the new track, which is annoying, but at least I have a workaround. I just don't understand how this happened. I seriously did nothing in between the time it worked and it stopped. Last night, everything was good. I hit save and closed. Then this morning I woke up to resume my work, and nothing was playing.
If anyone has a solution for this, please let me know. Mixing is already a time consuming process. I don't need to add more time to the process.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Chris
I'm using Garageband 08 - Version 4.1.2

Since this was pointed out, I've left the "ducking" section as viewable. I just noticed that when I dragged a new .aif file into a new track, it triggered all of the other tracks ducking to be enabled - upwards. The yellow arrow. The new track was ducked under, downwards, or blue arrow.
I'll continue to keep an eye on it for any other patterns.

QT H.264 files with two audio tracks. Quicktime plays 2nd track first. ***?

I've been experimenting with H.264 (AVC) and my DVDs. Using Handbrake, I ripped a DVD to MP4 (H.264) and including the director's commentary as the second track.
When I play the MP4 with Quicktime Player, it plays the director's commentary instead of the main soundtrack. VLC, however, correctly plays the first track (main movie audio track) and it allows me to select the second track via a menu.
To get Quicktime to play the proper track, I have to open "Movie Properties" and manually uncheck the second track. This was never a problem with DivX/XviD encoded files with two audio tracks; Quicktime Player correctly played the first track.
Why does Quicktime ignore the first audio track in MP4s (but not AVIs) and is there a way to correct this?

I do have QT Pro.
H.264 files are usually saved in a MP4 container. That's what Handbrake, ffpegX, and D-Vision create, anyway.
The "Choose Language" option is greyed out (unavailable) when I open this H.264 MP4 in Quicktime. If I try to change the settings in "Movie Properties," it says that I must save it with the .MOV file suffix.
It makes no sense to me that Quicktime Player can correctly identify the main audio soundtrack in a XviD file with an AVI container but not in a H.264 video with a MP4 container which Apple has been touting as the latest, greatest thing. Even VLC, an open source product still in beta, gets it right.

CS3 Multicam Multiple Audio tracks, only audio from Cam 1 plays

In Premiere CS3 I have 4 Cam edit I have all tracks, video and audio on main timeline. I also have audio from a DAT recorder on a seperate audio track. Everything is sync'd. I created my multicam edit sequence and nested my edit sequence into it. How can I get the audio track from the DAT to work on the nested sequence? It seems that the only audio I hear is that from Camera 1. What I would like to have is the audio from camera 3 AND the DAT recording. It is a live music performance and I want the audio captured from the House mixer which is really clean but I would also like to have the audio from oner of the cameras for ambient house sound. You know, sing alongs, yelling and clapping. After all, it IS a IVE performance. Any suggestions?
Greg

Hi,
See also my posting on the issue "Multicam is extrmely slow".
In short:
Make a timeline with all sources and sync them all, make sure everything is ok.
Then make a copy of this timeline and disable all video except one (for reference). Name it "Sound"
Move all soundtracks of your first timeline down to free soundtrack one.
Drag the sound track of "Sound" to track 1 of the first timeline. Then go on with the normal method for multicam (new timeline "Target", drag Source on it and enable multicam)
Any adjustmentsa needed in the sound can now be done in one place; Time line "Sound"
For performance reasons it might me better to drag the sound track of "Sound" directly to "Target" and disable soundtrack 1 (from Source). Disadvantage then is that removing parts from this multicam timeline needs the same removal from the soundtrack (on 2).
Hmmm, now I am writing this, can I unlink in Target the video and soundtrack and link soundtrack 2 to videotrack 1? Have to try that.

No output from recorded audio tracks, only midi tracks..please help

I've been working on a song in Garageband and suddenly lost audio from real instruments and can only hear the midi from last night until today. It consists of 3 midi tracks and 9 audio tracks. I have software plugins or FX on almost all 9 tracks with amplitube or similar. Things are slow as the arrow is red at the top, however last night I was able to still make changes - slowly. I was able to do a mixdown and export to mp3. Then I shut the computer down. Today I open up Garageband and can only hear the midi tracks of my song however other songs I have work totally fine. Nothing is muted and I've checked everything. Levels meters are moving on all the tracks, I can just feintly hear one guitar track. This is frustrating. I even tried locking half of the tracks and still nothing. I've rebooted etc and same
I'm running Lion with a TC Konnekt 8 sound module, on a 2.4 core duo 2 MBP with 4 GB of ram

I ran onyx and did a clean up etc then rebooted, loaded GB and same problems. I turned on the ducking thing, everything looked ok and then once I hit play everything worked again. I've turned off ducking and it still works. Could this be a glitch as I've never enabled it before

Folder mutes audio tracks (only)--why?

Hi all,
I'm a bit baffled by this one: I have a folder in a current project in which all audio tracks have somehow gotten muted. Oddly, the software instruments in this folder are not muted. The mute button for the folder is not selected. If I pull an audio track out of the folder, it does become unmuted. I suppose I could pull everything out and pack a new folder, but this folder is fairly complicated, and I don't want to have to do it over again. Is this situation the result of a preference that somehow got selected, or is the folder corrupted?
Any suggestions appreciated.
G5 Dual 2.0GHz, 1.5GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7) Firebox; LE 7.1.1

Let's make sure that we're talking about the distinctions between what happens when you use the mute tool, when you mute a track, and when you mute a channel. The mute tool will only mute multiple regions (no matter what they are) if multiple regions were selected in the first place. Otherwise, if you have only one region muted, using the mute tool will only mute that region. A black dot will appear (should appear) on any region muted with the mute tool.
If you mute a track, all instances of that track will be muted in the arrangement. So if you have a vocal comp spread across multiple instances of Track 1 (to allow for overlapping regions, keeping multiple (but muted) takes/phrases, if you mute any instance of Track 1, all of them get muted throughout the song. So you could have a folder with stuff on 5 instances of Track 1, another folder with 10 instances of it, and 2 instances in your Arrange window (that would be pretty sloppy programming, but whatever). And if you muted any of those Track 1's, they'd all mute.
Then there's channel muting. It's equivalent to muting any and all tracks assigned to that channel, but it mutes the audio at the channel (meaning it's pretty much instantaneous when you hit the mute button) as opposed to muting audio from the track level (where there's always a bit of a delay if audio's playing and you mute the track).

IPhoto slideshow to quicktime and audio tracks fadeout, undesirable.

I made a quicktime movie out of an iPhoto slideshow and the audio tracks fade out. Can this be prevented?

You probably will need a 3rd party application to convert the . mov QT file that iPhoto creates into a format for the iPod. Some are VisualHub, ViddyUp, and iSquint. You can find them at VersionTracker.com.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to play audio tracks with mainstage

Hello, newbie to mainstage-looked around site but didn't find too much.
I have a gig in a few weeks need help fast please!- Looking to play either multiple, or even just one long 30 minute track in mainstage and then play with fx live. terminology in user manual doesn't seem to say much about this. can i run an audio track in mainstage as a patch or something. Or run logic/audio track(s) through mainstage and then put fx on it? thanks

I have not used an FC-300, but I have had a close look at its specifications. I don't think it is going to be a lot of use as a controller for MainStage.
You have two 'expression' pedals; these can be assigned to control any two parameters in any patch eg two channel strip volumes; one bus send level & one FX parameter, etc. Useful, but limited in scope.
The remaining pedals are foot switches. That means they will each allow you to do the following types of action:
change patch up or down
bypass any FX, synths or channel strips in a patch
start & stop Ultrabeat
any other similar type of action.
What do you want the buttons to do?
To use a foot switch to control a button:
'Learn' a footswitch to a button (to begin with, stick to switches 1 -5. Ignore 6 - 10 until you are comfortable with the first five switches)
when you have 'Learned' the switches in the Layout screen move to the Edit screen
Here, take each button in turn & assign it to an action:
e.g
button 1 to Ultrabeat start/stop
button 2 to Delay Bypass
button 3 to 'Next Patch' (set at Concert Level)
button 4 to 'Previous Patch' (set at Concert Level)
I don't think that you will be able to do much more with the FC-300 than that. I hope someone will be able to prove me wrong.
NB It doesn't matter what CC number the switches have in the FC-300. Once you have assigned them to a button, the switch should carry out whatever action the button is assigned to in MainStage. All you need to do is to make sure that no two buttons have the same CC number.

Quicktime plays audio but no visuals

Hi
My quicktime player plays audio but not visuals.
The footage is Hdv footage which was filmed on a hdv camera recently.
I have quicktime version 7.5 & os 10.4.3
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Mark and welcome to the forums!
You really do need to update your OS to 10.4.11:
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html

Add to iTunes as an Audio Track only work for TTS voice Alex

I tried to select a whole document and right click "Add to iTunes as an Audio Track"
However I notice that if I chose a Voice that is not the default "Alex", (e.g a British English voice Daniel) the audio track does not read the whole document that I selected. I tried a few other voice it does the same, it stoped at some point at the document. When I choose System voice "Alex", it reads the whole document.
Also I am using a voice that is not Alex for my text to speech voice and it all work fine when I use "speech-start speaking"
Is this a bug or something?

HI christos,
Make sure to select the text you wish to convert into an itunes spoken track. and then after using the command check in itunes. to see if the track shows up.

Editing and Exporting Audio Track Only

Is it possible to just edit and export the audio track from a project that contains video and audio? I turned off the video track, and was able to make edits on the audio track but when I export the edited audio track entire unedited audio track is exported.

That did it. I didn't have the audio timeline material selected as the active window.
Many thanks.

When I drag a synchonised clip to timeline, can I turn off the video's audio track only without breaking apart clips?

I have preparred many clips by synchonising them with audio recorded on H4N - and have these in keywords.
When I drag them to the timeline, do I have to break apart each clip item to turn off the video's audio track or is there a shortcut to doing this?

For each clip you can go to the audio portion of inspector and uncheck/disable the tracks you don't desire. That would take longer than Tom's method, but I think the audio won't show up as a blank later on.
