Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Captures video but not audio

  • Captures video but not audio

    Posted by Chad Van alstin on December 30, 2012 at 4:42 am

    I’m using Sony Vegas 11. When I capture video from any mini DV camera, the videos have no audio. The video selection option shows my camcorder, but the only capture option for audio is my PCs mic — nothing else to select.

    Any idea how to solve this? I don’t even know where to start. I have no problems capturing on other software….

    Sorry — Sony Vegas 11 Pro, if that matters.

    Make sure the option “Capture Audio” is ON (Options > Preferences > Capture)
    (I assume that you use Sony Video Capture)

    There is no capture tab in options that I see. However, audio is captured — just though my PC mic, as opposed to the camera. I use Sony Video Capture 6.0.

    Yes. There is no capture tab on my options.

    Found it. Had a bit of a display issue. I see the options menu and the capture tab. “Capture audio” is selected. However, it will only capture audio from my PCs mic.

    Are you using the firewire port for this?

    Correct. The program will read the camera to capture video…but the only audio option is the PC microphone. It’s so strange.

    In addition, while video is being captured, if I speak into the mic on my PC — it will capture my voice with the video. However, no audio from the tape is ever captured.
