Wrong Audio When Using Camcorder via Firewire Help

Hello all,
I'm having a problem with iMovie. Ok here is what I'm using. Canon ZR960 MiniDV camcorder with external mic input, M-Audio Fast Track USB audio interface and my black Macbook running 10.5.8 leopard.
Ok I set up my camcorder as a pass through video source via firewire in iMovie 08, and I connect my USB audio interface to the usb port so that I can use professional dynamic recording microphones, Shure SM57, Sennheiser e609...etc for the audio portion of the video instead of the recorded audio from the video camera's built in microphone.
In iMove, there is an option to choose the Fast Track as the audio source, which I choose.
But, when I'm done recording, the audio was not from the fast track, it was from the video camera's built in microphone.
How can I recored the audio from the Fast track instead of the audio from the video camera?

Connect it via firewire 800. USB2 is not good for audio or video streaming.
I have 3 D2's connected to my mac pro, works like a charm.
good luck.

  • Using camcorder via firewire as audio source

    I've connected my camcorder via firewire and I want to record audio from it... but I'm stuck. Is it possible? How do I go about it?

    Precisely. The problem is I have to use analog audio path, digital audio over FireWire is not recognized by the sound system. QT does, so does Audion, Skype and Sound Panel doesn't.

  • How to output from media encoder to camcorder via firewire?

    I am using CS5.5 media encoder to output edited hi def footage from premiere as DV widescreen to sony FX 1 camcorder via firewire.
    How do I route the output from media encoder to the firewire output?
    This is the same camera I use for acqusition & import into premiere via firewire.
    Media Encoder appears to be encoding the footage properly.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    You don't--or can't, rather. You'd need to use Premiere Pro for this. Check this help page for details: Exporting to videotape

  • No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone.

    No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone. The video works, but just static is heard during call. I have attempted multiple calls to another iphone and my mac. Should I send the phone in for repair?

    Hi Anne-Lill Holme,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not being heard during FaceTime calls on your iPhone 6, I recommend starting with these troubleshooting tips:
    Restart your device.
    If using FaceTime over a Wi-Fi network, go to the steps to resolve Wi-Fi network issues.
    From:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    Next, I recommend testing your iPhone 6 microphone in other applications, such as Voice Memos. 
    If you cannot be heard on recordings in other apps, see this article for additional troubleshooting help:
    If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch

  • HT201177 no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro

    no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro. can only see the video

    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

    how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

    First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
    Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

  • How do you turn off Flash audio when using captivate Nav bar?

    Hi Guys and Girls
    I have an imported flash file that plays an audio track,
    I have no problem turning the audio off, when the user uses
    the button within the flash file to go to the next slide in the
    captivate movie...
    on(release){
    stopAllSounds();
    _root.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
    BUT if the user decides to use the navigation bar within the
    captivate movie it all goes pair shape.. The flash audio continues
    to play into the next slide. Anyone have a know how to solve this
    problem?
    How do you tell flash to stop playing the audio when using
    the captivate navigation bar?
    (The flash file is a flip book and the audio NEEDS to stay
    within the flash file)
    Cheers
    Aquil0

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This totally solved my issue. I had a Captivate 4 movie using an embeded animation that had audio. It would play the audio again when the next slide appeared. I have to use Captivate 4, because my audience still uses Flash 7 (yikes). However, if you have Captivate 5 and are having this problem there is a widget that solves this issue: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/animations-%E2%80%93-audio-sync-issue.html#commen t-3872

  • I have no audio when using chrome

    I have no audio when using chrome. I have audio when using Internet explorer and when playing from my pc. I have tried uninstalling chrome and flash player then reinstalling them. have tried FAQ on chromes site and Adobe's site. did not work.

    Hi Funkd, 
    The video / audio team is still hard at work trying to fix the audio problems introduced in 11.3.  Would you be willing to test a build of Flash Player that contains a few changes and additional debug logging functionality?  If so, please contact me directly at [email protected]

  • How to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping?

    how to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping? in premiere pro cs6

    You need to give more information about what you want to happen to the audio when you freeze or time remap the associated video.
    Is it synch video?
    Is it music?
    Is it Voice?
    Generally .. you have to cut and design the audio around the video effect.

  • Audio cutting out when using D2 external Firewire Drive

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded to Logic Studio, using the following setup:
    Macbook Pro
    Motu 828
    AMT 8
    Logic Studio
    D2 Lacie 500GB Firewire Drive
    As the MacBook's internal hard drive is not sufficient to record and playpack efficiently, I was advised to get an external Firewire Drive. Given that I have very little space on my laptop - (am running windows on a partition also) I am trying to save my logic files to the external HD. When creating tracks specifically using Audio Instruments, the playpack keeps cutting out.
    I am connecting the HD via usb 2. I am also having to freeze the tracks in order to record more layers. There is lots of clipping and latency. I thought by using the external, this problem would be resolved.
    The HD is not playing back the tracks fast enough, and keeps cutting the audio out. The audio cuts out everytime the blue light on the drive flashes.
    I cannot save the files to the MackBook HD as there is notenough space.
    Is there something very wrong with my setup?
    any advice would be really appreciated.
    ps. I am a bit of a newbie
    thank you in advance.
