Audio from one clip plays in preview, not on burned DVD

Have just completed burning a DVD of a 23-minute movie. Everything works fine except that the audio associated with one clip in the movie is almost non-existent. If I turn up the volume when playing the burned DVD through my DVD player/television, the sound can be heard, but barely. The audio from that portion of the movie plays normally while previewing and editing in Premiere Pro, it plays fine as a WAV file in Encore, and it plays fine in Windows Media Player. However, various attempt to burn that segment onto DVD, either alone or as part of the assembled movie, produce almost no sound. Again, the audio for the entire movie is perfect when played in Premiere Pro or Encore; the audio is also perfect on the burned DVD except for the one troublesome clip, in which the audio is so faint that it can't really be heard.

Dan,
Can't thank you enough for taking the time to hazard a guess about my problem.
I'm a real newbie with regard to video editing, so not conversant with much of the language, but all of the movie's clips were recorded in 16-bit stereo and the resulting DVD was played back through my television, which is a widescreen playing through its own speakers. I think the pertinent information, however, is that everything in the movie plays perfectly with the exception of this one clip, which was produced in exactly the same way as the rest of the movie. The one difference is that we used a different microphone for this clip. But again, this clip, like the rest of movie, plays fine when being previewed in the computer. Go figure.

How can i leave audio from one clip playing, while showing another one in i

i am editing a movie, using iMovie 08, and want to use sound for a clip in the video for the end credits. how can i do this?
just to be clear, i am not trying to add audio. i am trying to leave the audio from ONE CLIP playing, while viewing a new frame. thanks.

This is simple in iMovie 11 (drag and drop), but in iMovie 08, you can still do it.

Suggestions for blending audio from one clip to next?

I'm learning editing and PP and am practicing by editing different clips from a movie to make my own trailer. The problem I'm having is that going from one clip to another has obvious and abrupt changes. I could add audio transitions to each clip, though for a 2.5 minute trailer I'm not sure if fading audio up and down constantly is the best choice? What is the best way to blend the audio from one clip to the next?
Thanks.

You can create a crossfade (essentially an
audio dissolve) from one audio clip to another.
With the audio track(s) targeted, park the Playhead at the
audio cut and hit Ctrl+Shift+D (or drag from the effect panel):
You need to be sure you have sufficient 'handles'
on both clips to accommodate the crossfade.

Can one copy Audio from one clip minus its video...to paste to another?

I'm working on a painting video...as an artist/teacher...and easily created a 3 minute trailer on YouTube using iMovie...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LXWxjjGkAg
I have Final Cut Express 3.5.1 on my intel...and thought I'd best use this higher standard software for the making of my 90 minute DVD...but dang, its coming hard for me. Trying to make sense of the help manual. With iMovie it was nothing to copy an audio track, copy and paste elsewhere...but with FCE I can't seem to separate the audio of the track from one clip to copy and paste elsewhere without that video clip wanting to come along.
The original clip is me painting by a waterfalls..the original narrative voicing was weak, so I did a voice over with a mic and toneport tonight, now I want to paste in the sound of the falls behind copied from a clip where I did no speaking.
I have Soundtrack as well. Am I better off just putting my video clips together in FCE...then importing the whole thing to Soundtrack to edio audio? Seems audio with FCE is tough...well, for me anyway. Thanks

Hi -
In FCE, select the clip on the timeline that has the audio and video stuck together. Go to the menu Edit and toggle Linked Selection (the check mark will go away).
Now you should be able to copy and paste one without the other.
Hope this helps.

How do I put the audio from one clip over the video of another clip?

So I have two videos, and I want to replace the audio of the first with the audio of the second. Sorry, I'm new to 08 and have been trying to suss this out for ages so I'd really appreciate any advice you guys can give.

This thread seems to be on the same subject and is very helpful.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2072620&tstart=50
The Working with Audio clip also included the solution for extracting the audio from a clip at the very end of the video. Having to know the secret handshake of shift-command and dragging is really not intuitive, but such is progress....

Help - sound stream from one clip playing over stream from another.

I have a layout with narration and a nav bar. When I click a nav button for section 2, the audio from section 1 (set to stream) continues to play over the audio for section 2. This cumulates so if I click buttons for sections 3, 4 and 5, I get five audio files playing on top of each other. Please HELP! Sections are individual movie clips with embedded audio streaming on a Sounds layer in each movie clip.

Thanks, yeah, I'm not great on Actionscript, but I can work my way through it (AS3). Currently the sounds are just in a sound layer on the timeline and aren't controlled by actionscript. So if I put SoundMixer.stopAll(); in the first frame of each section, I need sound play() to start the new audio? Each section has several narrations that are timed to the animations on the timeline, so rather thatn having the sound in the timeline, I need to trigger them with the actions script? How would I code this - say my sound file is named sound22.aif would this be correct?
snd22 = new Sound();
snd22.attachSound("sound22.aif");
snd22.start();

Audio from one clip overlayed on another?

OK, I hope I can explain what I am trying to do in a way that is comprehensible to anyone but me
In the middle of a clip, I want the video to cut to a second clip but the audio from the first clip to keep playing, overlayed over the second clip, then have the video cut back to the original clip. I am doing a short review of a digital camera and in the original clip I am talking about the size of the camera and for about 5 seconds or so I want the video to transition to a second clip (while still playing the audio from the first,) that shows a closeup shot of the camera, then transition back to the original clip.
Does that make sense?
Thanks
Todd

Hi Todd:
Not really that difficult to do!
Extract your audio from
I want the video to cut to a second clip but the audio from the first clip to keep playing
Split your video where you want to put the second clip.
Split the audio at the same point.
Lock the 2 newly split audio to the 2 newly split clips.
Drop and drag the video you want to insert at the split point.
Now you have:
First part of split video with first part of split audio locked
Newly inserted clip (extract any audio that is associated with that clip and delete it.)
Second half of split video with audio locked.
Now you need to movie the audio
i back
to the inserted clip. So you need to un-lock the audio and slide it back to the point where you split it.
Adjust the lengths of the clips before doing any of this and do not forget to svae, save, save along the way.
Clear as mud?
Hope not-Sue

Audio from video clips in FCP X not importing into timeline

All my video clips play with sound in preview. Once I select my clip and drag it into the timeline, the audio disappears. It's not muted, In the top right information box, it only says Video/Info.
I have instrumental music playing in the background, but I would like a specific clip to play with sound, and it's just not working out. Am I doing something wrong?

Is the timeline set to edit source video and audio?

I created in iMovie, and extracted audio from one of the clips to use in the title sequence. All is well, export to iDVD and it plays OK, but when I burn the DVD the audio for the titles does not play. Any suggestions?

I am on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.7 running iMovie '11 and iDVD 7.1.1. Thanks for any input.

When I have two clips, one above the other, I would like to hear the audio from one at a time. How do I suppress temporarily one of that, in a easier way? Thank you.

When I have two clips, one above the other, I would like to hear the audio from one at a time. How do I suppress temporarily one of that, in a easier way? Thank you.

I would think you would drop down the audio level lines in the "Stereo" tab (FCP 6.0.6 view to me) in the clip's video window.
But then again, in my old version, I can't play two clips at once. But I figure if the newer FCP allow you to do that, then that's what I would do.

In-ear headphones playing audio from one side only

My apple in-ear headphones only play audio from one side. I've tried replacing the cap and mesh; and also tested the headphones on different devices and still get the same problem. Any advice?

Probably time to have them replaced.

I want to use the audio from one of my clips and the video of another can I do this?

I have two different video clips that I took from my still camera. I want to use the audio from one of the clips and the video from the other at the same time in imovie can I do this and if yes how

Yes.
First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Now, drag the clip with the Video into the project.
Drag the clip with the Audio and drop it on the first clip at the frame where you want it to begin. A popup menu should appear. Choose Audio Only. You may then want to open Inspector for the video clip (by clicking the little gear icon at the top left of the clip) and going to the audio tab. Here you can turn down the volume of the video clip, so that all you hear is the audio clip.
Another way. Put the video clip that has the Audio you want in first. Then drag the clip with the video you want and drop it on the clip that has the audio you want. A popup menu will appear. Choose CUTAWAY.

Problem: Audio from the video plays, but video does not show.

Hi,
I used the following code to play the video. The audio from the video plays displaying the player but there is no visual.
There is no problem with the video as I have tried several other videos with .mpg and .mov extensions.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.media.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MediaPanel {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Movie Player");
    static Player player = null;
    public MediaPanel(){
        try{ // method using URL
            URL url=new URL("file",null,"c:\\temp\\A.mpg");
            player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(url);
        } catch( Exception e) {
            System.out.println(" Unable to create the audioPlayer :" + e );
        Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();
        frame.getContentPane().add( control, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                MediaPanel.stop();
                System.exit(0);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize( new Dimension(600,600) );
        frame.setVisible(true);
        player.start();
    public static void stop(){
        player.stop();
        player.close();
    public static void main( String args[]){
        MediaPanel panel = new MediaPanel();
}

use this code "Component control = player.getVisualComponent(); "
instead of this code " Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();"
But if you want show both of them, modify as following
Component control1 = player.getControlPanelComponent();
Component control2 = player.getVisualComponent();
then add the two control (control1 & control2 ) to your JFrame panel

Audio from video clips

I tried combining video clips into one movie through imovie, the video was there but not the audio from the clips. What can I do to fix this?

The conversions played sound in QT, but no sound in the editor... What can I do so I don't lose the audio?
Open the Event file(s) with the QT Player and check the "Inspector" window to make sure the file, as imported to iMovie '08, still has its audio track in tact. If it does and the missing audio is limited to scrubbing Event files, check the audio switch under the preview window to see if it is off. If no audio is present in normal playback/preview mode, then thumbnails could be bad and you might try re-thumbnailing the events. If the problem is on the project side, try duplicating the project and see if the duplicate has sound. If you still don't have audio, try trimming the duplicate project to a very short sequence and exporting it to see if the output has audio. This assumes you have audio everywhere else and it is not a system wide problem like muting, system sample rate switched to a different setting, system volume turned down, etc...

Audio dropout one clip only

I created a movie in iMovie 6.0.3 (project size approx. 3GB) and shared it with iDVD to burn a DVD. Very little extra added in iDVD for Theme, etc. so it should have been well within size limits of standard DVD-R. (I have successfully burned DVDs in iDVD for similar projects with the same brand of DVD-R media previously with no problems). The movie played with no audio loss in iMovie and on the iDVD preview.
I do have music running under the clips, and the only difference on the clip with audio loss on the DVD is that I had to extract the audio from the clip in iMovie to make an edit work.
On that clip of the movie when viewed in iMovie's timeline view I have my video visible on the top line with my extracted audio (from the video clip)on the middle line and my music on the bottom line.
When I burned the DVD and tried to play it back on my TV the audio was fine until the last clip of the movie -- where there was no sound at all. I tried importing from the Media pane in iDVD rather than sharing from iMovie with the same bad result after burning the DVD.
I have checked the forum, and while there are many similar issues no one seemed to have this exact problem. I did print out the linked article re: Updating iDVD to 6.0.1( I currently have version 6.0.3) and deleting encoded assets (I had plenty of space available on my hard drive) -- it didn't seem to apply to my problem, if I'm understanding those two issues.
I will try the Disk Utility fix, but I'm trying to make a deadline and have never created a DVD that way before.
Any ideas how to burn the DVD -- preferably with the iDVD theme and button menu if possible, but most importantly with the least loss of video and sound quality.

Thank you for the helpful response. I was able to deliver the DVD on time with a workaround.
Once that was done, I tried playing the DVDs I created originally on my friend's DVD player and they played perfectly!!!
Any suggestions out there -- other than I need a new DVD player
is there any way to confirm a DVD burned in iDVD will play on the majority of DVD players before I send it out as a finished project?
