Old school Audio ?Posted by or
Mac OS X 10.4.11 Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4
1mb L3 cache/processor 1GB DDR SDRAM Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 Stupid question... I am trying to "Print to Video", and am having trouble getting the audio to show up on the tape (yea, a miniDV tape). Both Final Cut and the camera are indicating that there is audio in the sequence that should be there, but I don't get any audio on the tape. If I have the camera plugged into the computer (firewire) before the program is opened, then open the program, I have trouble getting the audio to the tape (and can not hear audio coming out of the computer). If I do not plug the camera in, I hear audio from the computer, but the camera doesn't seem to recognize that the computer is trying to export a video. Ideas?
THe audio presets are currently set up with the "DV-NTSC FireWire Basic" with
Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48kHz Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48kHz Device Control Preset: Firewire NTSC Basic Playback Output Video: Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480) Playback Output Audio: Firewire DV Edit to Tape/PTV Output Video: Same as Playback Edit to Tape/PTV Output Audio: Same as Playback
From the sound of it, your problem is your recording device-- assuming it's connected via FireWire, you need to set your input not to camera but to VCR mode-- or whatever mode exists that isn;t "camera" or "photo" mode.
Then listen for audio signal either through the camera headphone jack or built-in speaker-- and see if you get a video image on the camera LCD. Then you're set to go. BTW, I was fond of Print to Video, it provides Bars and Tone, countdown, black intervals heads and tail, really cool stuff. But you still have to control the camera like it's a VCR. Playback mode- yeah, that's it. You can record in playback mode assuming you see a Record button. - Loren Today's FCP keytip: Set a motion effect keyframe instantly with Control-K!

It looks like it's the recording device. When FCP is not hooked up to the camera, I hear audio fine. When the camera is recording (in VCR mode), I can barley hear the audio on the camera. The computer is indicating the audio levels in FCP are where I want them. Ideas on where to start looking?
