Adding audio suddenly creating video gap

I'm working on a slide show and it was going really well until today. The video is finished, with transitions, effects, etc., and I've been adding audio over the past couple of days. Today, I added a couple of songs and they did fine, then I added another one and it caused a gap in the video. When I go to the video line and right-click the gap, the "Delete and Close Gap" is greyed out so I can't use it. The gap doesn't "match" the audio--it starts about halfway through the audio and then ends where the audio ends. This is really frustrating, as I can't see anything different about this section of the project from the rest of it. (same file types, etc.) Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can correct it? Thanks!

Steve--Thanks so much--of course that worked like a charm! :) I can always count on you to know right away what I'm doing wrong!! I do have one more question--why did the ripple feature only kick in towards the end? I had 1 hour and 6 minutes of audio tracks that didn't cause any of the ripples, then it seemed to happen out of nowhere. I don't *think* I was doing anything differently up to that point. I'm mystified! But also very, very thankful to know the cure--I'll be doing some last minute touch-ups and then I'll be ready to burn this one! Yahoooooo!!!!! :) Take care, Tina

  • Adding Audio to my Video

    I have my HD source file and my 6 Channel AIFF file (Both are separate)
    I want to encode a 5.1 H264 MOV file. How can I add my 6 channel audio to my video source in Compressor?

    The media files for each episode are contained in the 'enclosure' tag and you can't have mulptiple ones in an episode - well, you can, but all but the first will be ignored.
    So if you want to have audio-only versions you have to create an extra episode for each one. The problem with this is that people who want the audio only version are likely to find themselves downloading the video version, or vice versa, depending on how you've arranged it.
    It's a better idea to create an entirely separate podcast containing only the audio files - the usual practice is to have the same title for each but with ' - Video version' or '- Audio version' as applicable, or something along those lines. You would obviously have to go through the submissions process again for the new feed.

  • When adding soundtracks it creates a gap in the video

    There are times when adding music to the soundtrack that it causes other media such as photos, audio, narration to be pushed out on the timeline so there is a gap between the video.  I do a delete and close gaps.  I re-try to upload the music to the soundtrack and sometimes it is placed properly and some times it still causes a gap in the video.  Please advise on what I need to do to fix this.

    This ARTICLE will give you tips on adjusting Volume in Audio.
    When an audio file is playing, the soundtrack in the background does NOT lower.  The background soundtrack does lower when narration is playing.  Why doesn't it work when audio clips are playing?  How do I set this easily?
    If you have done no Volume adjustments, then the Narration and the Soundtrack should maintain their original Levels, unless there is some new added "feature." If there is a new feature, then I am sure that Steve will educate me.
    As it's easy to adjust the Volume in several ways, I would not really want a program to try and do it for me.
    Also, some users have had issues with the two fixed Audio Tracks, Soundtrack and Narration, and in nearly every case, the fix was to just use a "regular" empty Audio Track, instead of one of those.
    Good luck,

  • Need a clever solution for removing audio from the video gaps...

    Here's a tiny section of my timeline:
    I want to delete all the audio in the areas where there's no video so that it looks like this:
    I was planning on just doing it manually one at a time, but my timeline is 3 hours long and there's over 500 gaps... that would take a very long time. So I was hoping somebody would have better method... sort of like a ripple delete all that would ignore audio. Everything is unlinked.
    -Pete

    Select video and move it up onto color matte.
    Let go
    Pick it up again and move it to track 3
    Dont let go, hold shift and move audio to track 2
    Deselect
    Select color matte and left over audio: ripple delete.

  • Adding audio to a Video CD slideshow using Toast

    I have been able to create a Video CD slideshow using Toast Titanium 7.0. Has anyone successfully been able to add audio to a VCD slideshow? If so exactly how did you do it. The Toast help files were no help. They instructed me to use the application Motion Pictures which comes bundled with Toast. I was able to create a slideshow with audio with this application but could not figure out how to import it into Toast.

    1. I suggest you post all questions concerning the use of Toast to Roxio's own Discussion Groups. That's where you will find the ardent Toast gurus. This isn't the "Using Roxio Toast" Discussion.
    2. See also the "Other links" section of my my "VCD and SVCD Players" FAQ. That section contains links to some other sources of VCD/SVCD hints, tips, etc.
    Good luck!

  • Adding audio and/or video without altering time line...

    I currently have a completed i-movie project of which I wanted to add some "stuff" at the begining of the presentation and actually at one point in the middle. I want to "insert" this audio and a few slides without altering the rest of the project. Am I am to anchor points so that what ever I do around those points does not affect the timing of what is already there?
    Thanks in advance all.

    Hi
    First your server does not require javascript only your browser, (standard in all modern browsers).
    You also do not necessarily require the flash program, (your browser will require a plug-in for the audio video to play).
    You will require some form of video/media encoding software to convert your files to the required format though, (do a search using your preferred search engine for video encoder), then use dreamweavers insert file option to insert your audio/video file into your html

  • Adding audio to edited video

    Hey, I've been editing a short movie with premiere and I accidentally removed the audio from half the footage and can't restore it, all the auto save files saved it after I finished editing.  All I want to do is get the audio from the edited video, as the video clips are there but the audio aren't, only in the original clip does it have the audio.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    If the original clip stil has the audio, perhaps you could insert this on the end of your sequence.  Unlink the audio, then delete the original clip and slide the unlinked audio back into the position you want it along the timeline.

  • Adding audio to a video demo Captivate 8

    How can I add mp3 audio files to a video demonstration I recorded in Captivate 8?  I recorded the demo.  Then, clicked edit.  When I choose Media, the audio option is grayed out and does not let me select.

    That damned BBB, they took it over from the cptx (you can hear that I don't like that bar at all). For a video demo project is pretty confusing.
    You have to use the Audio menu in this case. You have the option Import, Project Narration there. If there is already a Project Narration, you'll have to go to Record, and use the Add/Replace tab to import and replace the existing Narration.
    Sorry for my ranting. I so miss the CP7 UI.

  • Adding audio to Video Demo: Captivate 7

    Hello, i have several questions about working with audio in a video demo in Captivate 7.
    I have a video demo that was captured without audio, then the intended script changed signifigantly so the timing is way off (sometimes the video doesn't hold on a screen long enough for the narrator to finish talking, sometimes it holds too long).
    Any tutorials out there for adding audio after the video demo is recorded, when the timing is all off and I need to hold on some frames longer than the movie does? I'm doing still screen grabs and inserting them as images for the duration of the hold, but there's got to be a better way!
    Is there any way to add text-to-speech in the Video Demo (other than adding it in slide notes, exporting the audio file and then importing it to the background of the video demo?)
    When adding audio to a Captivate 7 video demo, is it better to add it to the video (Edit Video Demo > Audio > Import to > Background) or to add it to the slide in the regular timeline? Pros/Cons? Best practice?
    Thanks!

    Are you un-checking "Edit Volume" before you play it?
    Sue
    Hi Sue, Thanks for your help, I am new to the Mac, so forgive me if I am slow!
    I cannot find "Edit Voume".
    I can find "Show clip volume" in the "View menu" is that the same thing?
    Thanks for your help. Chatch

  • Why inserting audio creates a gap in my video ?

    Hi,
    I try to insert a short audio mp3 bakcground music in my work.
    I try to insert it several times because it is short and I need it repeat.
    So I insert it once at begining of my work. When I insert it a second time, it will create a gap between the end of previous audio piece, and its own end.
    Why on earth does it does this ? Why audio can break video ? This turns me mad, please tell me how can I insert audio files without destroying my video ?
    Thanks,
    Uglook

    Are you trying to put it onto the Audio 1 track? If so after the insert (that creates the gap) you will need to break the video/audio link by right-clicking the audio track and selecting 'Unlink Audio and Video'. With the link broken you can then move just the video clips to fill the gap.
    If you are not already using the 'Soundtrack' track for something else that would be the better place to add your mp3 clip.

  • I would like to see a built-in way of adding audio and video files.

    As it is, you have to rely on third-party solutions for adding mp3 audio files and video to Muse sites. Thanks

    Hi,
    I tried to reproduce what you were getting by building a simple VI but I havent had much luck (I have attached the VI).
    Could you post your code so that I can take a look at it?

  • Why does pan and zoom create a gap in the video?

    I am using pan and zoom to move around still pictures with Premiere Elements 10.0.
    When I create the frames and pans in the picture and return to the timeline, PE has inserted a blank gap after the next cut in the video. The pictures are on a separate video track. The gap is just gray and I can't delete and close the gap. When I right-click the gap the Delete and Close Gap popup button is grayed out and cannot be clicked. I'm being very careful to make all of the hold durations plus the pan durations for all frames add up to be the exact length of the original still picture I'm using. Nothing I try seems to get around this problem.
    Any suggestions will be greatly apprecieated.
    Thanks.

    I do not recall reading of a Bug in the program, that would create a gap. It would be more likely, that something is being done in the editing, that is creating the gap.
    Having a Title on a Video Track "above" the Clips (Video, or Still), is the normal method of doing an overlay Title, that will appear above the Clips, and display as a superimposition of the Title over the Clip.
    Now, when editing, one can control how the editing operation affects existing Clips on the Timeline. For instance, if one wishes to edit, or add material, and have that "ripple" all the existing material, then that is the default editing function. If they, instead, wish to have the edit, or the additional material "replace" Frames in the existing material, then this is done by holding down the Ctrl modifier key. It all depends on what the user requires to happen.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Re: Adding Audio To Video

    Well i can think of only the data source type problem causing a IncompatibleSourceException.
    Anyways post your code here.

    Yes, you were right. The Exception IS a NoPlayerException. Basically I end up with a DataSource with a content descriptor of application.mixed which it can't find a player for. Which I guess is understandable. I'm not sure it's necessary, but my code is below
