Audio glitches with each effect/title

I'm starting to actually work with iMovie now and my first real project is giving me fits. I made a slideshow in another program, including music. I exported it as DV and imported it into iMove. I added a few titles and one effect. iMovie, of course, splits the movie into clips with each of these operations. The movie plays perfectly in iMovie and also in Quicktime Player - the problem pops up when I burn the DVD in iDVD (maybe I need to post this in the iDVD forum, but see below). At every single split (beginning and end) there is an audible glitch - an interruption, if you like. The result is totally unusable, of course.
The slideshows I have done so far(I'm using Photo To Movie) all render perfectly in iDVD, even including this one. It was only after I put this one into iMovie and edited it that I got this problem.
Has anyone else experienced this? I can't believe everybody has this happen, because Apple would never have been able to release the program in this state. So I must be doing something wrong, but what?
I sure hope somebody has an answer for this one, as I'm in deep doo-doo otherwise.
Thanks.

I doubt the audio problem you describe has to do with the number of audio tracks you use or how you've used them. In fact, I'm not even sure it has anything to do with iMovie. These things get complicated real fast, and this project has gotten complicated.
You've imported video clips created in a different application to iMovie to join them together, then passed the iMovie project along to iDVD. Apparently something in that process is affecting iDVD's ability to encode the audio. That's not too surprising, actually. If there's a tiny audio flaw anywhere, iDVD may not be able to encode the DVD properly, causing an audible defect. (iDVD's job is convert an iMovie project to the MPEG-2 format used by DVD players. If the material we hand it isn't perfect, we might hear a burp. Interestingly, the burp may be more obvious on some DVD players than others.)
You said Photo to Movie movies work fine sent straight to iDVD. But that never "joins" the clips in the same way as importing them to iMovie does. iDVD encoding each separately doesn't present the same challenge as joining them in one movie. Joining requires a perfect match.
The solution may be to export the iMovie project to a Full Quality movie that you import to iDVD. Exporting to Full Quality will export to a QuickTime movie that's a DV Stream. That will "flatten" the audio, making it far easier for iDVD to handle. If there's a "burp" where clips come together, exporting might eliminate it. Or a least change the burp into sweet silence.
That's where I'd start. Export the iMovie project to a Full Quality movie. Drag that movie into the window of a new iDVD project.
If that still doesn't work, there's one more thing to try. It sometimes helps to slow down the burn speed. Instead of using iDVD to burn the DVD — which doesn't let us slow it down — use iDVD to create a disk image of the encoded video. Use the File > Save as Disk Image command to create a disk images instead of burning a DVD. (Not available in older versions of iDVD.) Open that disk image in Disk Utility and use Disk Utility to burn the DVD, choosing the slowest burn rate possible.
Keep us posted.

  • Can aim users and .mac users video/audio chat with each other?

    today was a crazy day with ichat. two of my friends were able to video chat 1 on 1. my mac is qualified to handle 3-way or 4-way chats. when they invite me, the bubble pops up. i hit accept and the loading spindle keeps on spinning for minutes until it just denies me entrance. they get an error saying i never accepted, so as soon as they invite me, they don't get any other response back.
    could it be that i am on the AIM network and both of them are on the .mac network?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   1.8ghz, 1.5gig ram, 3rd party camcorder, latest iChat. router installed.

    can aim users and .mac users video/audio chat with each other?
    Yes. Apple does not have its own publicly available IM service; iChat uses the AIM network, and there are few functional differences between AIM and .Mac screen names. If they are using a client other than iChat, there may be interoperability issues with audio and video chats, or the other client may not support those types of chatting.

  • Strange Audio Glitch With Volume Adjust

    When I hit the volume keys on the keyboard to adjust the volume, there is a delay that I do not get when doing the same with my desktop system. There is also an audible click on the audio when the volume is adjusted. If I go to audio preferences and then use the same keys to adjust the volume, the click and delay goes away. When I leave audio preferences the problem is still fixed for at least awhile. Rebooting brings back the annoying click and delay and I think it comes back after awhile whether the computer is rebooted or not. I have experimented with turning the audible response to volume changes on and off and this has no effect on the problem other than the problem goes away because sound preferences have been opened to make the change and not because of what the setting is. I think the problem must have to do with the sound source being opened and closed whether the audible response is set or not. When sound preferences are opened, it's as if a different routine is being used when the volume keys are pressed and it continues to be used until that piece of code gets purged from RAM memory when it hasn't been used for awhile.
    I'm just curious if anyone has this issue as well.

    Ah, the ever popular "feature" explanation.
    I can accept that it is a result of attempting to implement a feature but the way it is working on my machine indicates that this "feature" is poorly implemented.
    Well designed computer programming anticipates users actions as best as possible and makes things work as best for the current situation. Most Apple programming is a perfect example of how to do this correctly. When I hit a key to change the volume, it's reasonable to think that there's a good chance that I will hit the key again because once might not change the volume sufficiently enough. Instead, what I get is the sound channel turning on and off for every key press, no matter how quickly I press the key. This happens even if I do not have an audible response selected. Should sound be turned on when there isn't any sound to be played? I don't think this should be necessary for changing the volume if you do not have an audible response set.
    Now this is how I feel this should actually work:
    Sound, when running from battery should be handled like a disk drive or a screen. If it is not used for a set amount of time then it should be turned off and turned back on only if it is needed again. Hitting the volume keys when no sound is playing might set a shorter time limit before the sound is turned off but the "on" time should be sufficiently long enough to hit a volume key again without requiring the sound to be turned off and on on each press.
    Remember how I mentioned that the sound problem would go away, maybe even for days if I opened the sound preferences? This would indicate to me that under this situation, the sound is not actually being turned off after a reasonable amount of time. Under certain situations, it doesn't stay on long enough and others, it stays on too long. If I am right about it happening during sound playback, then it's really messing up by turning off and then on when it clearly doesn't need to.
    I am pretty sure that I have had the issue while plugged into power and at least once while iTunes was playing. Certainly when sound is already playing this shouldn't occur. For some reason, I can't seem to get the issue to surface again, but I think that it just might take some time after rebooting sometimes for it to happen again. I will post more on this when it happens again.

  • Audio Glitch with Premiere CS3

    Right now, I am doing a project for my history class where I have to use a green-screen and chroma keying to create an "embedded" WWII new report, as if I'm live with the action. The problem is, whenever I import my video files, Premiere does not find any audio. Im using a Sony High Definition Handycam® Camcorder HDR-CX12, with MPEG2 encoding. I've tried importing the same clips to Pinnacle, and they work fine. Being a bit new to Premiere, is it default to take off the audio if you already have audio (theme music) on one track, or do I have to move the music so the program can have a Track 1 for all videos?

    My guess would be that because the camera records Audio in DD 5.1 SS, you will need to copy the AC3 .dll file from Encore (I would have assumed that it would be available, since CS3 comes with Encore) to PrP. I have the exact .dll [ad2mcac3dec.dll] listed for PrP CS2, but the name is slightly different in CS3. There are many threads, with the exact and correct name listed. It should be an easy process to copy the file from Encore to PrP (as it was in CS2) and you *should* then get your Audio. I'd also assume that Pinnacle installs with a similar .dll to handle the DD 5.1 SS Audio.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can I export an audio track with just the effect signal without the audio?

    I want to export dry audio tracks and their effects signals as separate tracks. For instance a track with a reverbed snare would be one track with the dry snare and one with just the reverb.
    I know from people who use Reason that it's just a box you need to tick, but I'm struggling to find out how to do it in Logic. Surely it must be a way?

    I don't remember Reason being that straight forward, but the obvious way to go, is to mute all sends and bounce.
    Then solo the reverb channel, in aux, checking it isn't shared by other sources, and bounce. You should have a dry and a reverbed signal, at your convenience. 

  • 1,000 menu items - each selection plays unique audio clip with same video

    Hi all,
    We're familiar with playing different audio tracks based on a menu selection - but we have a large number of clips for this project... so, here's our question:
    A viewer of our 30 minute dvd throws it in the player and selects the city they live. We want to have about 1,000 city names they can choose from.
    Based on their selection, (eg: Los Angeles) the DVD will play and then at 7 different points during playback, we need the name "Los Angeles" inserted/played along the main audio track.  If someone selects Portland, then Portland would be spoken in that spot instead, etc. 
    In terms of audio files, we have the one main audio that is the same for all menu selections, except for the spots where the city goes, it is just blank.
    We have recorded 1,000 unique audio clips of just the city name we want to include . (1 to 2 seconds long)
    What's the best way to insert the audio where we need it during playback - or is it even possible? (non-blu ray).  There is audio just before and after the point where the city name has to go, so the timing during playback is critical. (no pause or hiccup when inserting.)
    We thought about outputting 1,000 unique audio tracks (each 30 minutes long) that include the full audio along with the city, but we seem limited in the number of audio tracks on the Encore timeline (at least based on our limited authoring experience - is there a way to get more clips in encore beyond the # of audio tracks it allows?)
    In reading other posts, it seems we can set markers along the main audio track, dump all our city clips on a handful of audio tracks and have them pull in where needed but it seems it will cause the dvd to pause when doing this, and make for an interrupted viewing experience. Is that true?
    Any ideas/thoughts are greatly appreciated...
    kay

    Let's see if someone can tell us how this might be done, but I say the answer is "no."
    First, DVDs are made for playing on TVs as programs, not as interactive media. You pick one audio track, and that is all you get. To do what you want (the main audio track with one of a thousand names spoken also), you need a thousand audio tracks.
    Even if it were possible, I think the number of menu choices (max 36 buttons on a single 4:3 menu) and the max 1 gig of menu on a disk, and if not those, the max 99 vts per disk (and for Encore which uses 1 vts per timeline, a  huge task to figure out how to make all those clips into chapters on timelines) etc.

  • Exporting multiple video tracks as 1 file with different effects on each track.

    I am currently trying to export 3 video tracks as 1 mp4.
    Each track has exactly the same footage, but with different effects to achieve a certain aesthetic.
    When I view the sequence it in premiere all 3 tracks are displayed correclty.
    The exported version appears to only export the uppermost track, track 3.
    Track 2 and 3 have opacity set to 47%.
    Track 1 opacity is set to 100%.
    I have tried exporting a test project that has multiple layers and there was no problem.
    I have NOT tried exporting a test project with exactly the same opacities and effects, as it's a bit time consuming. I will do so if I can't get a stisafctory solution from the forums.
    The problem, I believe, is down to the layering of effects. In this case on track 3 I have procamp, which is boosting the red in 1 layer. This is the image I get once the final piece is exported - track 3's.
    So..
    How do I get the effects of each layer to show properly in the export?
    and
    Why is the exported version missing tracks (or the effects of tracks) 1 and 2?

    You didn't answer probably the most important question: whether you're using hardware or software Mercury Playback Engine (MPE). However, since you've set Maximum Render Quality on, it's largely irrelevant.
    When you're using hardware MPE or have the MRQ flag set for your export, rendering is performed with linear color. Linear color processing affects how color channels and alpha channels are composited--anything less than 100% opacity is subject to linear color processing. Check out this article for more information on linear color/linear light: Linear Light - Artbeats
    Since it sounds like you're seeing the results you expect in the Program Monitor, but not export, I'll wager you're not using hardware MPE. Only by disabling the Maximum Render Quality flag on export will you be able to get results that match what you see in the Program Monitor (within reason, of course). The only way you could see the effects of linear color within Premiere would be to either use a qualified GPU that enables hardware MPE, or go into your Sequence Settings and check the "Maximum Render Quality" option and then render previews.
    Please let me know if that helps resolve the issue, or at least provide a little insight into the problem.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Audio glitches at the start of video

    Hello,
    i have a few audio glitches at the start of the video.
    This happens only at the start of the video, at the first 30-40 sec, where there is a music soundtrack.
    I am using encore 2.0 and a portable HP Pavilion dv4000.
    The video was coming from a dv tape that was captured with windows movie maker as avi and imported as avi to encore.
    But the sound was changed to 48 khz, at the edit (Avid).
    Please i need your help.

    Neil,
    Thanks for the response. I started looking for Audioblack in the New Asset list, the Transitions and Effects, all through Audition, manuals, Internet, everything, and about all that I found was reference to an indie band - "Audioblack," or comments attributed to you. I have a lot of material from Dolby, from when I first began using 5.1 Surround in DVDs, but did not see this term there. It was probably in some of their more technical papers, and not the "primer" course ones, that I already had. You very clearly pointed out *what* the problem was likely to be, but I wanted clarification as to the exact solution. You cleared that up beautifully.
    Based on one of your earlier replies along these lines, I instituted a 2 sec. gap in my Audio Tracks at the beginning of all Timelines, as part of my workflow - 2 sec. Black Video, Dip to Black to 1st Title, and silence on my Audio Track, but was becoming worried, that I needed to create an actual Audio Clip with certain properties. I see that my interpretation of Audioblack works.
    I had not encountered the problems, that some others had, but then my test DVD players are all higher-end Marantz units, and who knows what a client is likely to try and play the DVDs on? I wanted to establish a workflow, that would give me the greatest chance of success, regardless of the hardware. Thanks to you, and to others, I am honing my workflow, as well as I can.
    I think, based on some other responses, that involve hardware, that I will dig up a very old, and cheap Panasonic DVD from my gym, to use as a test machine - doesn't get much older, or cheaper, than that.
    Greatly appreciated,
    Hunt
    PS I still use an older Cambridge as the rear-channel amp out of my Carver C-400 pre. Great unit and still going strong!

  • Audio glitches after BIOS update on GD65 Gaming

    I updated from the beta 1.94 BIOS to 1.A0 and since then have experienced audio glitches. Streaming videos the audio will fast stutter periodically. My DJ controller also glitches which is a different soundcard entirely. Using DPC Latency tool I see large random spikes every so often which coincides with the audio glitches. I tried LatencyMon and it shows HDAudBus.sys as causing high interrupt to process latency. But if I disable that it then gives the same fo ACPI.sys. If I kill some services and background tasks it would sometimes show the same but for hal.dll or wfd0100.sys (part of Logitech Setpoint I think). I can never seem to nail it down. So I booted into diagnostic startup using msconfig and the spikes more or less went away. So I ended up booting with just the essential network and audio drivers running using msconfig and it seemed to fix it but I cannot be doing that each time I want to use my DJ controller or play a Youtube video.
    It did not do this before the BIOS firmware upgrade.
    Ideas?
    Win7 Ultimate 64 btw.
    EDIT: I flashed using LiveUpdate and forgot to do a BIOS reset with power cord disconnected (going to try the latter now now but doubtful it will help). Should I re-flash from USB?

    Quote from: Sea Dog on 03-July-14, 01:25:23
    There are a good number of GD65 Gaming mainboards, so it would be helpful to know exactly which chipset you have. M-Flash has been reliable with Z87 and Z97, but if that method is used, be sure to select the BIOS + ME option. Install the newest ME driver after a flash.
    It's the Z87 Haswell version.
    BTW there is a dual BIOS on this board right? Can't I switch to the other BIOS, bootup and test? Never tried the dual BIOS thingi before and wondered about if it's possible to switch between them? EDIT: Just read the manual. Not what I thought it did. Oh well.
    EDIT2: I flashed the latest beta 1.10 B3 BIOS using the USB boot method, reset the CMOS by crossing the pins and uninstalled/installed the latest ME driver.
    No difference.
    If U run LatencyMon 'as is' after reboot and after stuff has settled down it reports random spikes of the HDAudBus.sys well over 1000ms
    If I disable HDAudBus.sys in system devices it then spikes with ACPI.sys
    If I use a tool like JetBoost to kill some apps and services spikes with usbport.sys or ACPI.sys or HAL.dll or sometimes wfd0100.sys
    If I use msconfig to boot into diagnostic mode I don't get any spikes.
    If I use msconfig to boot into a mode where only the services required for network and audio to work I also get no spikes (but this is tiresome to use. I wish msconfig had user profiles. I also tried a tool called Startup Selector which promised that functionality but it crashes when I apply the changes).
    I can only surmise a MS service (tried just disabling non-MS services with no effect) or combination of MS services is causing this issue.
    I'm thinking the next step is an in place upgrade of Win7 and if that does not fix it a complete reinstall (that would really suck). :(

    How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 3/4/2009)
    Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
    See bottom section on AIM 6.5 and 6.8 on XP and Vista.
    This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
    Glossary For This FAQ
    This bit is designed for clarity.
    Video is the sending and /or receiving of pictures and sound.
    Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
    One-Way is the ability to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a recipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
    What is needed
    At the Mac end
    A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
    A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
    An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
    (hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
    At the PC end
    1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
    The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
    Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
    Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
    An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
    Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this.
    Between both of you.
    At least one camera (Mac end works better)
    A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
    Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
    Other tweaks
    For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
    This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
    To Start
    You should now be able to chat to each other.
    If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
    To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
    To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
    If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to video chat One Way but sound will be both ways.
    To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
    To start this from a PC follow the directions in the paragraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
    It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
    No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
    Summary
    PC end gets AIM 5.9 or Trillian Pro.
    The PC end allows the app through the XP Firewall.
    AIM 5.9 needs "Tuning" to Camera and Mic.
    For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) One-Way.
    NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
    Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
    Another explanation of the set up can be found Here about AIM 5.5 but is transferable to AIM 5.9.
    And Also here

    AIM 6.5 and 6.8 On Vista and XP
    AIM 5.9 or earlier can not be installed on Vista.
    AIM 6.5 and 6.8 use a new video codec with a description of "Real Time IM"
    AIM have an FAQ page about this
    Below the pics is this quote
    What do I need to use Real-Time IM?
    You and your buddy need to be using AIM® 6.8 or higher to use Real-Time IM. Unfortunately, Real-Time IM does not yet work with older AIM clients, iChat®, or AIM® for Mac®.
