sound problem :-).

[sholizar]

after i managed to capture video in edius, i have some sound problem.
sometimes when i play my camera from edius, i have screech in the sound and then the sound continue normally.
it's a very small screech but it's annoying
i export the sound uploaded it so you can download and here(very small mp3 file of the screech).
it's not happening all the time.
sometimes it happens more frequently, and somtimes minutes can past and then it happen again.

also, if i rewind the tape and play again, the scratch is in the same place. it's stays there.

in adobe premiere 6 there are no screeches. it plays smoothly without any side affects like here.

That sounds like a typical tape dropout.
It's probably only one field long and Adobe may be skipping over it.
Your only hope is to mute the audio at that point.
:~(

[sholizar]

can't i tell edius to skip it like adobe?
there is no other solution beside mute this manually?

in adobe there is no missing sound in the place where in edius it has the screech.
very strange :-).

Edius plays everything in the file, even errors. Correction is left to the editor.
Like using your camera in manual vs. auto.

[sholizar]

thanks for your answer :-).
it sounds unreasonable that it isnt working like premiere(it's not a big ask).
if i have a screech in a middle of word, that i want to insert to a movie, i'll have to mute the word, and it's not good.
it's the first time i'm running this strange thing.

[Rusty]

Have you tried re-capturing the problem area?
Have you tried exporting the audio from Premier? If you can, I'll bet they won't sync in Edius.

When I used tape in the past, I dealt with this a lot!

If it works in Premier, perhaps you should finish it there.

I disagree with Sholizar ... an NLE should NOT try to be too smart and skip over errors. How does a software knows if an audio is a glitch or something intentionally recorded? It does not. So - NLE should play everything (bad or good) to the editor for him to decide.

[sholizar]

the camera is the same camera for years now.
also premiere is on my computer years now.
because premiere 6 is old i searched for new NLE software, and heard about edius.
it's just in edius that i have these screeches.
if i open both premiere 6 and edius, and play an area with a screech(in edius), and then move to premiere, rewind, and play this area again, it's playing without a screech. very smoothly.
if i again come back to edius, rewind, the screech is there in the same place as it was.

i didn't try to export the sound from premiere and import it to edius.

tingsern:
i don't know if it is an error, because, again, as i said before, in premiere i don't have any bad sound, in the place where in edius i have these screeches.
at least i can't seem to have a problem with my own ears :-).

[tingsern]

Can you upload a WAV (uncompressed 16 bits / 48Khz) file of that area in question - so that I can see what is causing that problem?

[sholizar]

i'm sorry, but now i can't post.
please wait till tomorrow, i hope to post then :-).
have a nice weekend :-).
and of course thanks for the help.

[tingsern]

No problems ... I will be here NEXT year :-). Of course, we are now in 2011. Happy New Year.

[sholizar]

happy new year certainly :-).

well, now i got a very strange thing that made me laugh.
i can't trace my steps to record this screech again.

now, when i play the camera through edius, i can hear the screech, but when i capture the area where the screech is, and play it, i can't hear the screech.
i also add the captured area to the timeline, and also i can't here the screech.

it's very strange, because before, when i succeeded to record this screech, id made the same process, and i don't know what i have done to make the screerch disapear after capturing.

if it stays like that, it will be very welcome problem, because in the timeline the screech is gone.

so sorry, now i can't copy this screech in edius (maybe in Audacity :-)).

but if i may, i have other questions that i want to ask.
1. when i just open edius and start playing the video from the camera(through edius), the sound is strarting 2-3 seconds after the video is starterd.
there is NO sync problem, it's just when i start playing, the sound begins after the video (2-3 seconds after).
if i pause the video (||) and start playing again, this lag is still there.
But, if i stop te video and start playing again, both the sound and the video playing immediately.
can i control this thing so the sound always start immediately after pushing Play?

2. timeline behavior is somewhat strange (to me :-)).
if i put a capture video in the timeline, in the place where i have video and audio icons(in the left) grouped together, i have both sound and video in the same place (one is on the other, but they grouped together) in the timeline, but afterwards, if i move this area to a place where there is just audio(for example. it also can be a placed where i have just video), the video track is disappear, and i see just the audio track.
if i move this back to the place where it was before, where i saw both audio and the video, i still have just audio.
if i want to restore the video, i have to undo or move the area again from the preview.
is there another option to restore the video?
why this is happening in the first place?
why can't i move the track to a place with just an audio, and the video track will stay in the place where it is, without disappearing?
what is the purpose of this behavior?

3. if i move a captured video to a place in the timeline, where the sound and the video are not grouped together as in the above question, and then move the audio(for example. again, it can be also the video) to other line in the timeline, the video is moving aside, and now the audio and the video(of the same track) are not in the same column.
sometime i have a red number on the audio and the video tracks, after it's happening, and the numbers are With a + (plus) and - (Minus) signs, one for the audio and the other for the video.
why this is happening?
why it is not stay in the same column?

the timeline in edius is something i need to get used to.
it's not like in premiere which i know. is there a guide that explains all the ins and outs of the timeline with all the possible things that can happen?

thanks a lot for the help, have a good week, and again, happy new year :-).

First I would like to say I wish you would update your location to a true place. It helps determine if you are NTSC or PAL.

2. You can add the missing part by double click the clip so it loads in the Player window and then reset in and out points which will bring both audio and video back together. If you place it on a Video only track or and audio only track, it strips the other part off. This is appropriate because you are telling Edius you only want one or the other. You may need to revisit how Edius works with Audio Mapping.
3. I am not quite sure how you are moving things in this, but red numbers mean that your audio and video are now out of sync. The numbers indicate how many frames out of sync.

The manual (under Help) is what you need to see how things work. You might also watch the tutorial that is referenced many times here.

[sholizar]

thanks for the reply :-).

i'm PAL.

i don't unederstand this:
"reset in and out points which will bring both audio and video back together"
but how do i do this?

"I am not quite sure how you are moving things in this, but red numbers mean that your audio and video are now out of sync. The numbers indicate how many frames out of sync."

Ok so i understand what are the red numbers and that is good, but i don't understand why it is happening in the first place.
when i move the clip to the timeline, the video and audio are in the same "column", but if then, for example, i move just the audio to a different line(in the same "column") the video is moving aside the sound to a different "column", and i don't understand why it is happening.


i have the manual, so i'll look also there.
thanks :-).
