AE CS3 - Audio on imported clip - no audio when previewing (RAM), scrubbing (CMD scrub) or exporting

Hi There,
We have a clip that plays audio in Quicktime and when double clicking the clip from the project tab inside AE.
But when it's dropped into the timeline, the clip doesn't play any audio - when doing a RAM preview, playing audio (period key on keypad) or Command dragging the time thumb.
When we expand the layer on the timeline, it doesn't show a waveform - we see the little speaker icon on the layer and the RAM preview is set to hear audio.
If it plays in Quicktime it should play in AE right - maybe not?
This is what Quicktime says the format is:
Apple Motion JPEG A, 720 x 486, Millions
24-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
29.90 FPS
720 x 486 pixels (Actual)
Obvisouly we're missing something basic - any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

24-bit Integer,
Where everything fails... AE just doesn't like anything beyond 16bit audio or at least it is being rather particular about where these files come from....

I have no audio when I ram preview or after rendering in CS5.5

I have read all the solutions in other threads but with no avail, I'm still stuck with no audio. I had no problem like this before in CS3 and I'm currently using/learning CS5.5. I've had no audio at all. However, I can hear audio when I click on the layer that has my mp3 file on their by pressing 0 on the number keypad. But when I go on my main comp I can't hear any audio whatsoever when I press the space bar or when I press the RAM preview button. There is no audio even after I render it and yes, I did click on the audio check box in the audio module that has the lossless link to make sure it is on.

The flaw is here:
my mp3 file
Convert it to a WAV or AIFF. Nobody knows what can hapopen with MP3 and AE sucks at using those files even today.

No Audio when previewing a slide

I can't hear the audio when I preview a slide. I can hear it
when I preview 5 slides (F10) and when I open the audio editor. It
just doesn't work when I preview individual slides.

Hi Jeff
If you look just between the Timeline and the editing area on
the left side near the Film strip, you should see teeny tiny icons
that allow you to play/pause and (drum roll here) MUTE things when
previewing. It looks like a little speaker icon. Try clicking it
once and seeing if your sound re-appears.
Cheers... Rick :)

I can not hear audio when preview a clip, but after producing the project, the audio is fine

as the title, i installed Captivate and use Text to speech features. after editing the slide and converting the transcript into audio, i click the play button at the bottom of timeline, i hear nothing. but when its produced, the audio works......
so weird

Hello,
Please check the Audio Icon, on the bottom left of the Timeline:
Is the Audio not muted, as in this screenshot? Often one overlooks the most obvious things.

Can't seem to preview the audio when previewing capture footage

Hi,
I am new to editing, mac & FCE to excuse any ignorance.
I have to do some editing for work and currently have a DV cam set up through a firewire cable to the mac.
I am trying to preview the footage before i start capturing, i can see that fce has control over my DVcam & that the footage is there, however there is no audio. I can get audio after choosing the clip to capture however not before.
Surely there must be a way of previewing audio before you decide on what you would like to capture?
If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks!

No audio on import clips

Using iMovie 6.0.3 on my new Power Mac. Importing via firewire from Canon ZR500. No audio when I play imported clips. I can see audio wave after extracting. Speakers turned on. I can hear the audio sound affects and iTunes songs from the iMovie browser, but they don't play once placed in timeline.
What is up??
Using same camera I have no problem on my iBook G4

I think it is called " Video Play Through Camera ", Karsten.
Language barrier, I think.
no, it's called...
"Video eines DV-Projekts auf DV-Kamera anzeigen"
.. to be korrekt...
thanks, Sue, for correction.. indeed, I toggle between English and German interface, just to post here the correct terms.. I was sure, I remember right.. nope.. where are my pills...? the red ones.. are for the brain...

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

Audio missing when importing clips

Hi, importing clips from my Sony handycam, no audio is available. Even opening the single clip file with Quicktime, no audio. Don't think it's the camera, as long as I tried with another similar model and the same problem occurs.

Hi all, just updating iMovie to 9.0.7 version the issue was fixed.
Thx all

Help urgently needed: bizarre problem - no audio in imported clip!

Hey there!
I have a bizarre - never the less urgent problem:
When I import some material (presentations) which I have recorded on Mini DV with my Canon MVX10i Camcorder the following problem occurs:
There is one particular presentation which somehow looses the audio during the import process!
That means the imported clip has no audio even though the audfio is on tape! Other clips before and after do not have this problem - the audio is available after the import.
A bizarre but serious problem for me. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot in advance
Thorge

I had a similar problem. When I started the tape from the beginning no audio would import. To solve it I started the tape a few seconds in and It seemed to work.
Hope this helps.

When importing clips to iMovie11 the audio is missing. I have been able to successfully to this in the past and all of the sudden it is not working. Any help to solve the problem would be appreciated.

Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
My System:
WinXP Pro SP2
2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
Intel PERL mobo
3GB 400MHz RAM
NVidia 7800GS video
I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
etc) when using any CS3 app.
The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.
footage3.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 112kb/s, 717606 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:
footage4.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Beta2, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 189kb/s Two mono
channels LAME3.96r, 717436 KB.
footage5.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s Six
channels (3/2 .1), 716418 KB.
footage6.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s Six
channels (3/2 .1), 716418 KB.
footage7.avi - XVID XviD 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels
(3/2 .1), 717502 KB
footage8.avi - XVID XviD 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels

Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
"planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

Gaps in audio when importing clips?

When I try to import clips from my camcorder to imovie, quite often it happens there are little gaps with no sound (easy to hear, and visible in audio wave as gaps as well).
When I connect the camcorder to the TV set, then the sound is fine, thus assume it cannot be a mistake in recording.
I've also exchanged the firewire cord, still the problem continues...
Would be extremely grateful for any help...

Hello BCRC,
What make / model computer are you using?
What operating system?
What program are you using to burn the DVD's and CDs?
By gaps are you meaning that there is a gap from one track to the next and you are looking to burn gapless discs, or are you referring to the audio actually skipping parts of the audio when burning?

Imported clips into FCP 10.1.3 contain no audio in Yosemite...

I am running FCP 10.1.3 on a mid 2012 15" MBP Retina with the following specs...
2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Ever since I updated to the public beta of Yosemite, when I import clips into FCP X I get the clip but my audio is no longer attached. I assumed this was an issue with the beta and that it would be resolved in the actual release but alas, that is not the case. Does anybody have any experience with this or could anyone point me in a direction. Much appreciated.

Here is the requested screen shot. In the events list, you will see the clips have no waveforms. In the inspector, you can see that Audio is not even an option and in the Project Timeline, you will see that there is no Waveform present. This clip has audio attached. The source media is irrelevant as this happens with screen capture clips or with clips I've shot with 3 different cameras. If I check the source file, in finder or in the camera the audio is present. This only started happening when I upgraded to Yosemite.

How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

No Audio When Importing MOV into LifeType

Hi
I'm new to FCE and I was importing a mov file into life type. However, there was no audio when I tried playing the file. I am able to see the visual and the live fonts effects but somehow the audio is missing.
Did I miss something ? Is this the right approach for creating a movie with LiveType effects ?
Jojos
P.S: The mov itself has audio when played via Quicktime.

if I may ask for the steps I would be doing the following ?
1. Create the titling effect in LiveType
2. Export it to a quicktime movie
3. Open FCE4 and superimpose it into my main movie clip
4. Generate it as movie
In step 2, do I render a movie or generate it as a quicktime movie? May I know what's the difference and which offers a better quality ?
Appreciate your reply.
Jojos
