For some reason Voiceover doesn’t see any audio from our DeckLink at all. In some thread a Blackmagic guy pointed out that the DeckLink needs to see video input for it to activate audio input. I thought having our BetacamSP deck on and feeding a simple black video signal would suffice. No joy there, even if most audio recording apps (Peak, Audacity, etc.) work well with such a “trick”. It was suggested that we better use other audio input resources (internal Line In, USB interfaces, etc.).

We’ve been playing with Voiceover via Line In and an USB converter. Even if I set a 48 KHz/24 bit capture preset (which FCPro acknowledges when recording via Video Capture), Voiceover will produce 48/16 files.

I’d want Voiceover to work, as we work extremely fast with it. Going to Soundtrack or others and back is a nuisance we’d want to avoid, although I guess it’s going to become inevitable.

Would FCP’s VoiceOver tool work if I would provide video signal (by, say, keeping our BetaSP deck on, feeding the DL Studio 2 video inputs with black)?
