Why ''original media'' has no sound?

Tom, how can I do this ? (I never had to do so with an AVCHD cam.... always had 2 versions of each clip in a separate folder...)

What are the steps ? Do I need to re-create another Library or can I change its properties ? Or much easier : can I just use something else such as : www.lifeflix.com ?

And hope to solve all these issues ?

Possibly hosts decided it was a distinct question as I also did a new post with it... And I get lots of issues with this forum (maybe old version of Chrome cause that...) Sorry for the inconvenience - I got your reply, and re-replied on page 2)

Many thanks

Rob

Tom,

Thanks very much. Again, never had to do this previously, and yep: possible that when I clean installed OSX 10.11 (and reinstalled everything) I might have gone ''default'' - and never had to change this stuff over a year... I agree this is certainly basics 🙂 But as a Premiere Pro user, I feel still relatively new to the FCP mindset and ways to hide basic controls...

Indeed, I now get that folder on my external drive... Still no sound under QT though.

Thanks very much, one more time 🙂

Still no sound under QT though. (Just start to wonder : would I need to do any setting in FCP for this as well? (wrap-up on my previous posts: forget the QT7 way, no way to add the ''Pro'' features or upgrade). QT 10 won't even offer a way to import from that cam. I don't see the Canon cam HV30 in Apple's list of cameras either and I have not installed any kind of driver for it... (This also makes me realize that when I import from my other (AVCHD) Sony Camera, I use the Camera Window / Plays MEmories app from SONY most of the time - the only after do I import what I need in a FCP project....

Just to keep some logic in this thread: I don't have access anymore to the cam that was used back in 2001 to shoot these shots... I'm playing it back from a much newer camera (Canon HV30) - the old one was possibly not doing HDV, just DV ??... This one shows HDV on top and HDV/DV on left side of the screen.

Thanks,
Rob

In that case, is there a solution ? And why FCP would allow correct playback, but Qt would act as if there is no audio in that same file ?

I played a little bit in the settings of the Canon camera to find anything allowing me to set DV, and anything referring to audio.. See pics below. While not necessarily done in this order, I tested a capture after each change. Now the cam shows it playback in DV, not HDV. Audio was set to 16bit, instead of 12. AV/DV set to ON instead of OFF. Audio LEvel set to ON instead of OFF. Yet, no success !!... Still playback correctly within FCP. No audio playback (just image) in Quick Time. Am I missing something ?

necessarily necess

THanks Al.

i Will try it tonight. Does QT allow for chosing location (external drive)?

Ok tried it. Unfortunately, while it ''does'' record, even on screen it does show sound movement while recording, still NO SOUND in QT when playing back. Yep I raised the volume.

So recap:

- If I record through Final Cut, I get sound when playing back within FCP.

- I get NO SOUND playing back the clip (as revealed in Finder, played back with QT)

- I get no sound when recorded with QT, played back with QT.

Next step: I will try to import that media captured with QT in FCP and see (hear) if there is sound and post again....

=== And the answer is... Nope ! No sound either.

Tried to change the Sound and Midi (to Pro Tools Aggregate) instead of default, changes nothing...
