Audio disappears when I reverse a video in iMovie 11?

Hello. I was reversing and mirroring videos today with no problems. Then when I went to reverse another video, the video reversed fine, but the video's audio disappeared. The audio plays perfectly fine when the video isn't reversed, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Like I said, I reversed other videos with no problems, so I know I'm doing it correctly. I'm just wondering if there's a way to fix this. Thanks.

The iMovie forum is here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie
That's where the knowledgeable ones on that issue hang out. Be sure to include the version of iMovie that you're using too.

Background audio disappears when an interaction slide appears

I have a (Captivate 6 produced) project which includes approx 40 slides and it looks to be running smoothly when published.
However, I have imported a background music audio track which I want to play (and then loop) during the course of the whole course - however, whenever it reaches a slide which has an interaction on it, the music disappears and then returns when a non-interaction-based slide is reached. Disappears again when the next slide is reached that contains an interaction, etc.
I am unable to test in earlier versions of Captivate and so I am wondering whether this is an issue with this version of the program i.e. background audio disappears when an interaction slide is shown?

We don't have the 6.1 update yet, but I did find a workaround for this (although it's not perfect). With Captivate 6 there is now a "Play Audio" action that you can assign to the Slide Properties "On Enter" action. When I did this, the narration continues to play even after the Flash interaction appears in the timeline. So for any narrated slides that have Flash interactions, you need to:
1) remove the Audio narration that is imported to the Slide (Audio > Remove > Slide from the menu bar)
2) On the Slide Properties - On Enter action, select Play Audio, then select the appropriate narration file for that slide.
This seemed to work -- the only problem is that if you use the "Play/Pause" button in the Adobe playback navigation bar, the button seems to get confused and changes to the Play state while the audio is still playing (instead of staying in the Pause state until the audio finishes as it does when the audio is imported to the Slide itself as narration). Not sure how to fix that issue except to remove the Pause/Play button from the playbar and just use the Next/Back buttons. And if you use navigation buttons instead of the Adobe playbar, you don't need to worry about this.
Hope this helps!

When i export a video from iMovie the sound goes distorted?

When i export a video from iMovie to my camera roll or to youtube the music i've added sounds distorted. When i watch it in iMovie it sounds fine. Any idea how i can solve this problem.

Yes, I experience this same problem. The grey doesn't show up until after it is uploaded to Youtube...

Why does my screen turn green when I optimize a video in iMovie?

When I optimize a video in iMovie, it turns the clip to a blank green screen.. Why? And how do I get that clip back to its original format?

They are not in the proper format for iOS devices.
The ability to play them on entirely different hardware under an entirely different OS is meaningless.
Try converting them.

Audio disappears when using video fx

Two questions
1) The audio track (purple line) disappears whenever I try to use any video effect.
When I undo the video effect, the audio returns. What is the problem?
2) Even though I have checked View . Show audio wave form. It just remains
a thin purple line in the Timeline.
How come it never changes. Could it all be related to the first question?
I really need to darken a couple of clips , but I can't seem to do it without losing the sound. Thanks for any help.

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• *Delete iMovie pref file* - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named. com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• *Free space* on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. *Repair Permissions*, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Third party Plug-Ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

Why is the sound disappearing when I send a video?

I have an iPhone 5C. When I record a video and send it, the sound disappears! I can hear it just fine when I play the video back on my phone, but if I send the video to someone, they can't hear it. Why is this happening? I tested it by sending it to my email, and sure enough, the sound is gone! Am I doing something wrong when I send it, or is there a setting that is off somewhere that I need to adjust?

I can't even see where that setting is.. for my information all the footage is from a GoPro so what I've had to do is convert them to .mov and Apple ProRes 422 now. Now when I have them in final cut the samples in 'All Clips' and in the time line look ok in till I hover over them and then they have the red hint again, they do how ever export the right colour now but this is going to make colour correction difficult

Audio disappears when burning in iDVD 6 from QT movie (from FCP)

Before burning, checked all the chapters and each plays with audio. When the disc burns it does encode the audio during the burning process but the only audio that is present when the burn if completed is the audio on the 1st menu. I only inserted video on menus two and three (using "Full Frame" menu) as I only want video; no audio on those two menus . I had to force quit twice and then ran Repair Permissions. Should have I trashed iDVD prefs and if so, is there only one to trash?
thanks for any help . . .this forum is invaluable.

drag and drop all incidents of the iDVD plist to the trash. Use the finder or spotlight to locate all incidents of plist for iDVD. Looks like this:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
secondly, you will need to repair permissions on the HD.
applications > utilities > apple's DU
third, delete all encoded assets from the advanced menu.
forth, recommend using different media like Verbatim DVD-R Minus media and burn from a disc image using apple's DU or Toast at 4x or slower.
fifth .....be very patient while it encodes and burns. i've seen some dvd's take up to 2 days.
sixth ....make certain you have no less than 20GB of available HD space.
Good luck!

Audio disappears when I use preloader

I have a movie that has an audio track (I have it set to "start" for the Sync). It works perfectly, but when I insert a preloader with it, the audio disappears. The rest of the movie still works fine (visual) but it is silent. Couldn't find exactly this problem in a thread. Any ideas?

if you're using actionscript to instantiate your sound, use:
var yoursound:Sound = new Sound(this);
if you're using the timeline to instantiate your sound, make sure it's not set to export for use with actionscript.

How come free space on internal disk is decreasing when I am exporting videos to imovie library on external disk

Hi,
I am moving all the videos I have in my iphoto library on my computer to the imovie library (version 9.0.9 ) I have on an external disk to free some space on the internal disk.
Afterwards, I am deleting them from the iphoto library BUT I noticed that the free space on the internal disk does not increase. Movies are decreasing but the space is going to back ups. I am doing this process as I want to have more space on the internal disk. Do I do something wrong or is this the normal process ?
Also, I have Imovie (new version - which I am not using, at least not for the moment) and the old version (created when I updated) on my internal disk and a copy I made befor the update on an external disk.
Is it safe to delete the old version on the internal disk ?
Thanks for helping me out !

Hi,
On my mac I have iphoto and two versions of imovie - application that was created last october (2.9 gb -- so far I did not use this app) and 9.0.9 imovie folder (1,197,747,040 bytes - 1.22 GB on disk) .
On the external disk, I made a copy of 9.0.9 version some while ago (to be eaxct, before the new version was installed last october).
This what I do:
- import the video into imovie on my internet disk via "file, import, photos, iphoto library and select..."
- then I delete the videos from the iphoto event, emtpy trash in iphoto and empty trash on my dock
I photo version I am using is 9.5.
What do you mean with your third question ?
I back up on a 2nd external disk (used only for back up) with time machine.
When I check the space available (on this mac, more info, storage...) I noticed backups take up 7,6 GB. Before I started the above mentioned process of importing videos in imovie on the external disk the backups showed 0. What did I do wrong ?
Thanks for helping me out.

AAC Audio disappears when rendering iPhone screen capture

I recorded some gameplay footage using Yosemite's Quicktime Movie Recording feature. The audio is there when I play the quicktime, but when I drop it into Final Cut Pro 7, it wants to render the audio. I render it, but the audio is gone. Any way to have it convert the audio?
Thanks
Bob

I'm sorry, but that just isn't true in my experience. FCP7 works fine for me with h264. Maybe if you need it to be super high-quality you have to use Pro-Res, I don't know. But I edit with h264 in FCP7 all the time, I have for years. It is great for editing little iPhone app demo videos. And the files are sooooo much smaller.
There is something else at issue. I think a recent Yosemite update must have broken something. I got it to work simply by opening the new files in Quicktime Player 7 and saving them back out. No conversion. I don't even have to save it as a copy, just 'Save' on the original file! So funny. They work fine now in FCP 7.
Thanks for your reply anyway.

Audio disappears when connecting/disconnecting headphones

After I upgraded to IOS7 I noticed that often when I listen to Podcasts through the speaker and then connect my headphones or vice versa, the audio stops even though the podcast is still playing. In order to solve this, I have to change the podcast I'm listending to. Then the audio returns and then I can return to the original podcast. This doesn't happen every time, but often enough.
I just upgraded to V2.0 and the problem is still there.
Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions as to how to solve it?
Thanks.

Sometimes after a wait of a minute or two it starts up for me. When I open the app and watch the progress bar that shows how far along you are in the episode, it jumps back a ways when you plug in the headphones. The moment you touch the selector to drag it back to where you were, the audio resumes.

I'm trying to record audio and video simultaneously using iMovie and an external mic and the computer is picking up the audio but when I replay the video there is no sound. Any ideas?

Can't get iMovie to record audio and video at the same time using the built in cam and an external mic.

iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

Loop audio disappears when dropped into timeline

When I preview a loop, it sounds great. When I drag & drop into the timeline, the loop no longer has any sound. Any suggestions?

You dragged it into the empty area of the timeline, right?
It sounds like you don't have the instrument that this loop uses (the preview is always an audio file, while the loop itself plays on GB's software instruments). What instrument is that supposed to be? Can you create a new software instrument track and use that instrument?
