Audio file won't fade out

Suddenly I cannot make the .aif file fade out in a scene. I set it to fade manually to zero yet it won't fade on a scene.
I didn't have this problem before.

Sorry, my browser went haywire and I didn't get to finish the question.
So, the only fix I've found, to get the audio file to play, is to save a copy then import into the project.
Why is this happening and what is the easiest way to undo the asterisk file. By that I mean, the file name at the top of the file's bar has an asterisk. The file itself is greyed out. It won't play in the arrange window, but will in the audio editing window.
Thanks for any ideas about what's going on here.
Peace,
Johan

IMovie Audio Files Won't Play when the File is Moved

I imported a lot of audio files into iMovie from my desktop and I set them out how I wanted them in my project. But as my desktop was getting too cluttered, I had to move the audio files into a different folder in my documents, but now the audio files won't play and a warning icon is on each audio clip. Is there a simple way to relocate the files, without moving the files back to my desktop and without having to set out my all my audio files all over again?

Besides the two files you mentioned in your post, you also need to upload YOUR .swf as well. Then you need to upload your music file/folder.
Also double check that the path to your mp3 is correct RELATIVE to the location of the Web page that you placed the .swf on, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../Sound/dreamsSound1.mp3");
This needs to be the path from the WEB PAGE to the mp3, NOT the path from the physical location of the .swf.
Once you have the pathing correct, it should NOT work when testing in Flash CS4, because the path to the mp3 needs to be RELATIVE to the Web page.
Best wishes and Good Luck!

From FCP timeline...send to soundtrack pro audio file project is greyed out

The send to multi track is not greyed out but that's not what I need.
The stereo audio file is 48KHz and I have 7 tracks of audio in the sequence all of which are stereo except the VO track.
If I use "open in editor" to open a stereo file from the timeline soundtrack only imports one channel.
I'm trying to run these stero audio clips through STP using the waveform editor to quickly analyze and fix the "clicks and pops" also adding a low cut off filter to some of the clips to help eliminate some wind noise.
Seems the only way I can get it to work is to export each clip as an aiff file and then import it to STP, edit non destructively, save as a .stap file and then reimport that .stap file back into FCP........
Any ideas why the "send to STP audio file project" is greyed out? perhaps I have forgotten a preference setting somewhere?
All help appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Hey, Dave. That can happen if you captured your files with two audio tracks instead of a single stereo track. The two channels will show up on two tracks, but they're not actually stereo in the quicktime file.
When you captured, did you click the "OO" button next to the audio channels to link them to stereo? You can look at the contents of the quicktime file with Quicktime Player and see if you've got one audio track with two channels assigned to "left" and "right". If you have some other configuration in the file, check out these old threads for workarounds, or recapture if that's an option.

.mts audio files won't import/link

All of my Premiere Pro cs6 project files now show up with unlinked media. When I try to "link media" to the original files, I get the message "The selected file does not contain audio media used by clip references in one of more sequences. These audio clip references will de deleted, and cannot be undone." If I click "ok", the video does link, but the audio file disappears.
If I try to import the files anew and drag them into a sequence, the audio doesn't come with it. I've double checked in my media player that files do indeed still contain video.
I've cleaned the media cached database, and deleted and re-installed Premiere, but nothing's changed. These are .mts files, and I have Windows 7. Any suggestions?

Hey,
I am having this problem with one set of mts files. I edited a couple of projects with them previously without issue, now I am trying to update an edit and the audio will not load intp PP. All of my other projects load and work fine.
The files play fine with WMP, but always show no audio when loaded into PP.
Any ideas? Of course I am on a deadline to get this edit out.
Thanks,
Curtis

Embedded audio file won't play in Safari

I'm trying to plan an embedded audio file in safari, but it just never loads. Similar files on the same page are marked 'Flash 9 is required to listen to audio' - I have listened to these files before without any problems.
I have Flash 11.5 installed, have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Flash and all the fixes for when YouTube videos won't play in Safari but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

You will really need to upload it if you want someone to help you troubleshoot the problem. It could be any number of reasons.
If and when you do upload, make sure that you upload the supporting folder that is created when you create a swf on a page.

Continue Playing Track Audio, or have it fade out

I am putting together a demo DVD for my client, and after viewing it his complaint was that when he goes back to the menu while in the middle of a track the audio abruptly stops. Is there a way to either have the audio fade out before the dvd goes back to the menu, or better yet have that track audio continue playing until the viewer makes another selection? Thanks for the help.
Mitch

Clients can be so silly can't they? No...since DVD is a linear technology, the laser must stop then refocus to the menu. During this time you will have an abrupt audio pause. Ever disc ever made is like this.

Audio files won't auto-sync in Premiere CC - synchronize option is grayed out

I just started using Premiere CC and am trying to synchronize three cameras and one additional audio source using the new auto-sync feature - which syncs by waveform. Even if I'm just selecting two audio clips on the timeline, right-clicking on the clips brings up the menu with the "synchronize" option grayed out - not available. Why should this be?
I'm mixing clips from two Canon T4i files with audio, multiple Red clips with audio, and an mp3 file from an Edirol recorder.
Premiere just doesn't seem to want to even attempt an auto-sync with these files. Even if I unlink audio from video and then try to sync audio - no "synchronize" option.
I'd really appreciate any ideas or suggestions anyone might have on this.
Rob

It just doesn't work with separate audio clips. This is known. But I've never seen the option grayed out completely. Not sure what would cause that.
You're sure all the camera clips have audio? You can put them in the sequence and see the waveform?

ITunes treats video's as audio files, won't play video only audio

Hi,
I have the latest iTunes version & the latest OS X lion updates. Late 2009 27" iMac, intel core duo 2, 3.06 ghz. Forgive me if this comes across as rude, I'm used to being able to find my own solution to problems, and this has been frustrating me on and off for years. For as long as iTunes has had music video's and air play available I have the problem of my music videos, movies or video files of any type (all purchased for iTunes store) will only play the audio, no video. The old work around was to disable 'look for remote speakers' and then the video's would play fine (i googled it again to make sure there wasn't a newer work around). However that is not an option now, as iTunes automatically looks for airtunes speakers. The only work around I have found is to disable my network connection in system preferences, then go to iTunes, tell it to try and connect to the remote speakers. Once it fails to find the speakers, all video files work perfectly. Once the network is re-enabled its a 50-50 shot that the fix will work for a while before the problem returns. I have had this problem in pretty much every version of iTunes sense they released music videos. It's not a constant problem either, sometimes videos play fine, most of the time they don't without the workaround. (the problem was present in Snow leopard, leopard and I want to say Tiger, but its hard to remember about Tiger.) I have submitted this problem in the 'submit feedback for iTunes' several times and nothing. I am hoping one of you smart people out there might have an idea for a permanent fix. I wanted to send an email to apple support, but they say I must purchase support because my hardware is 'out of warranty' even though its a software problem, so they are no help. Any help or suggestions you may have are extremely appreciated.
Thank you,

OGG audio files won't play in Firefox

I'm using an html5 audio player and can't get the ogg files to play in Firefox. They work fine when I test the page locally. Here is the page URL:

Linking files won't search out hard drive.

Info:
Mac Pro
CS5.5
I have a project with R3D Files, my HD was getting full so I bought a larger one, made a duplicate of the R3D media. Now when I try to link up the media to the new drive, Premiere wont serach the hard drive and autolink ANYTHING. (Have like 2000 files, so I can't individually do this)
It's almost as if the clips in the project have a hard drive letter or something set to it, and even when I point it to the right HD it keeps trying to find the other HD.
How do I fix this?
Please help. Thanks.

I may have just answered my own question, and atxspencer, maybe it will help you too, even though you're on a Mac.
I first made a copy of my project, just to make sure I could go back if this didn't work. I have most of my clips sorted into bins, so what I did was go into the first bin and select all the clips there. Then I right-clicked and selected "Make Offline". A window pops up and I made sure I selected "media files remain on disk." I'm not sure what would happen if I told it they were deleted, but it seemed to work this way.
Now the clips are labeled as Offline, so you'd get the big red screen if you viewed the clip in a timeline. With them still selected, right-click again and select "Link Media". Then that window pops up asking you to find where the file is that you want to link. I kept the file folder structure the same between both drives, so all I had to do was change the drive letter to that of the new drive. You could also just navigate there normally. Once you find the first file on the new drive that the Link Media window is asking for, it automatically finds the other files that you have selected. You can right click on the clip and select "Reveal in Explorer (or Finder)" and it will show you where that clip is, and it should be on the new drive.
I did find one problem though. If you select 2 or more clips that are in different folders on your drive, even if they are in the same bin in your project, when you Link Media, it will automatically link them like before, but for the clips that aren't in the same folder as the first one that it looks for, it will re-link the clip to the original hard drive. So depending on how you organized your files on your drive, it could take longer, or if you just threw them all into one folder, it should go pretty quickly.
Hope this helps.

Fade Out audio problem

Hi,
I've been trying to add a fade out transition to the end of a clip in iMovie HD but when I do so it fades the video to black but the audio does not fade, rather it stops and seems to play another clip of audio that does not match the video. The fade clip in the time line does show the audio as set to fade out. Any idea's?
Thanks!

iMovie sometimes plays video (..and audio..) from a memory cache, and doesn't always play the actual effect you've set up.
You could try Quitting from iMovie and then restarting the program and see if things play properly ..or, better still;
1. Remove your Fade Out.
2. Split your video clip just before where you want to apply the Fade.
3. Extract the audio from the short clip.
4. Apply the Fade Out ..the audio will be unaffected.
5. Click 'View' and 'Show Clip Volume Levels' (or press Shift⌘L.
6. Click on the line - in your extracted audio clip - which shows the normal volume level. Click further to the right and then drag down the right-hand portion of the line to create the audio fade you want.
Although this pic shows audio edited that way through a Cross Dissolve transition (..hence two extracted audio clips!..) it'll give you an idea of what the faded, separate audio clip should look like.

Transition fade outs are picking up audio

Whenever I want to add a fade out to a movie clip, rather than the audio fading out with the picture, the audio for the duration of the transition is often a clip of the audio from that particular movie clip. I have tried trashing the p-list, and I have also tried erasing some of the problem footage and re-capturing it, but to no avail. This happens to at least I'd say 75% of my movie clips, and I can't seem to solve it. Sometimes the audio in the transition is audio from the very end of the clip I am fading out of (i.e. it loops it), and sometimes it's just from a random point somewhere in that particular clip, but then on a couple of occasions, the fade out is actually audio from a totally different clip.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation....

Hi C
Just one thought: I do like this
• select clip or clips before applying a transition so that they are selected
• Up on Advance Menu - down to Extract audio
• Now apply the transition after or between the clips
• Now fix the audio by letting it fade out or as You like it
Yours Bengt W

ITunes syncing everything but audio files

I woke up this morning to go for a jog, having synced my phone the night before. I turned on the music app to discover that everything is missing. So I tried syncing it again, and I watched colored bar at the bottom on itunes as it built up my audio files but then suddenly at the end of the syning process, the audio files suddenly disappear again. I've tried restarting my computer, restarting my phone, but still the audio files won't sync. All the audio files are still in iTunes, but they simply won't transfer to the iPhone. All apps and other files sync perfectly. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I think i'm having the same problem. did you ever get this figured out? mine happened right after i update to the ios 6.0.1 software.

Pdf with audio files embedded - Acrobat Pro 8 vs Acrobat Reader XI - suggestions?

Hi, I have a problem with a pdf (containing embedded audio files) created with Acrobat Pro 8.
So, two questions for you.
1) When I open it with Acrobat Reader XI, the audio files won't be reproduced.
Windows 7 and 8 tell me that there is a codec problem.
Finding the right codec seems to be very hard (looking on the previous threads in this forum I found some links to websites offering codec packs, but when you download them it seem they start offering many other things to download, and this stresses a lot).
Any other suggestions?
2) The other question is kind of reverse of the first one: if I create a pdf with Acrobat XI, will an Acrobat Reader 8 or 9 be able to open it and listend to the audio files???
Thank you,
aliB

Dear Pat,
I try to write it again.
Unfortunately installing Flash doesn't solve the problem on Windows 7 and 8 (on the XP it works).
Kind regards
Alessandra

Major crashing issue... Audio file AWOL?

I am hoping someone can help and that I am just doing a dumb mistake. I am using Logic 8 in Leopard on a MacPro. I've been working on a session and have two tracks with a comp'ed vocal. For some reason, the main track view (right next to track name) is empty. When I unpack the comp, the different audio files are all greyed out. And when I click on the main track, Logic crashes and forces a restart, saving a "crashed" version. When it reboots, the pane for my Mackie Control Universal pops up. I'm wondering if there is a problem with the Mackie Control in addition to whatever is happening in Logic.
I've had recent warnings about a possible conflict with third party apps and that I need to check the drivers of my MIDI devices to see if they are up to date? Sorry but I did not record the exact wording. Does anyone know what this might mean, and how I need to go about checking drivers? I have several interfaces and not sure how to see what's what. I realize I may have more than one issue/problem going on here, so thanks for any ideas.

Hi Midlake,
Well, because they are known troublemakers. Search for 'takes' or 'take folder(s)' or 'comp' here on the forum and you'll find many a troubled soul crying out for help - including seasoned pro's, who thought they were beyond tears...
O, they are fine for recording many takes - but thats' all. I'll select the best takes/phrases.
regards, Erik.
