Audio imports, but not video

Haven't ran into this prob before, so seems strange that it's happening now. When I attempt to import video into FCE, it all looks like it's going fine. I see the video, click capture, then press "escape" when I'm done with the import. Problem is the imported file is only audio. I've looked at the imported file(s) in finder and opened in QuickTime. Sure enough, just sound. No video.
I've edited about 10 projects this year using FCE with all of this same equipment, but have never had this problem.
I've made several attempts at troubleshooting this afternoon, but problem still not solved.
Because I was curious, I attempted to import the same video into iMovie 06 (again, using all of the same equipment). No prob. Video successfully imported with audio.
I even followed one thread's suggestion and got rid of some QT files in Receipts folder, then reinstalled QT. Did not solve problem.
I've unplugged everything, then restarted computer (twice). But that hasn't worked.
I've looked at Sequence settings to confirm that video's accounted for, and everything appears to be in order.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate reading them. I suspect I've overlooked something simple.
I should probably point out that I have not performed any recent upgrades to my OS.
Thanks, in advance, for taking the time read and consider this issue.

Hi Tom,
Thanks so much. Trashing preferences worked. Wasn't sure what that meant, but googled it and found a helpful page. Just now succeeded at importing a video clip. As a slight aside, thumbnails now appear in browser, whereas text did previously. And borders/letterbox in viewer now appear gray instead of black. I realize these must be simple settings and I will hunt them down.
Thank you so much. After reading your initial reply, I'd suspected I was going to have to do a reinstall (not terribly difficult, as I've done it once before).
Nice of you to help out and that I could learn along the way!

    audio plays but not video on abc app?

    Correct. The developers have not enabled it for airplay. Audio is on by default.

  • Why is youtube audio working but not video?

    Youtube worked well 2 days ago but since then only the audio has been working with a blacked out background....I haven't  changed anything just updated software in App Store... any suggestions?

    First to do is to uninstall all previous versions of flash player by using Flash Player Uninstaller.
    After you update directly from Adobe Flash Player Software website, repair permissions and restart your computer.

    having difficulty - via airplay --w/ streaming sites from ipad2 to g2 apple tv -- get audio but not video -- what gives???

    What site are you trying to watch?  I just tested 3.  The you tube app streams from the pad to apple tv fine, as long as the source video format is ok.  Checked a site called funny or die.com. Most of the videosmthere stream to apple tv fine.  A few have a different format, and do audio only.  Netflix does not stream at all, but you can get to netflix directly from apple tv.  Whether or not it streams is directly related to the format of the video.  Some do, some dont.

  • Audio works in audio chat, but not in video chats.

    So, when I start an audio chat with a friend, we can hear each other just fine. I then switch over to a video chat, and she can hear me, but I can't hear her. I already had to do all sorts of port forwarding in the firewall settings and router in order to rid myself of error -8... this is kind of frustrating!
    I fixed the problem a week or so back by simply restarting iChat. When I tried that this time, no dice. Any ideas? Seems odd that it would work in audio chat but not in video chat...

    I am having the same issue. Last night my sister and I did a video chat (which took some doing- we are both neophytes which it comes to this technology). It was great! But we had no audio. So we typed our conversation for quite awhile till my sister turned on her speakers...... Then she could hear me!! Now we were excited. But I never could hear them. On the video window there were 3 icons at the bottom, one being a microphone icon which had a line through it. So we are assuming the audio problem is on her end (she's using a Dell) and not at my end (since she could hear me)- is that correct? I checked all my settings and I had my speakers on the whole time with the volume maxed out. I could hear clicks when she wiggled something on her speakers but that was it. Any clue what she needs to check? I know I am posting in a Mac forum but we are giving it try again tomorrow and it would be nice to hear her. I know that there are plenty of us Mac users that have relatives that use PC's so maybe someone might have an answer. Will keep searching though. Judy

    Is your QuickTime up to date?
    Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

    if you use a hdmi to dvi converter then you only get picture and not audio because dvi don't carry audio same with vga

  • Quicktime Movies - The audio plays but the video is completely messed up

    Hi.
    I have QuickTime V7.2 and my OS is XP.
    All of a sudden QuickTime started playing back QuickTime movies with no video - there is just a lot of flickering green and purple - however the audio is there. Oddly, the files used to play fine. They were made on my PC as QuickTime movie files. The sound is there. (Additionally the files play ok in Realplayer.)
    I've searched techy support but can't find an answer. Any ideas what is wrong?
    I made the files on movie editing software called ULead, and as I said, they used to play fine.
    Thanks very much.
    Gary

    A very similar and, I suspect, related problem. I created .mov files on my Mac, they play fine on the Mac, the audio plays but flickering video on my PC. I suspect it has something to do with the codecs used. Anyone have an idea as to how to make them compatible?

  • Video importing, but not audio

    Hello-
    When importing files into final cut, the audio on some of the footage does not import. anybody know why? the file types m-peg from my sony handycam. they play with audio on the VLC player but not in final cut.

    There are a few versions of MPEG, yours most likely have multiplexed audio.
    Working with any kind of MPEG based material in FCP is a terrible hassle. It needs to be transcoded to an editing codec such as those listed in FCP's Easy Setup menu.
    So.... where do your files come from, a camera? Tell us the manufacturer and model.
    Someplace else? Please specify so that we can advise on the best way to proceed.
    It would also be useful to know which version of Final Cut Pro, QuickTime and Mac OS X you are using.

  • Imported Audio CD, two songs imported but not included on album with rest of songs

    I just bought an Audio CD "Red River Blue", Artist Blake Shelton. I imported the CD into my iTunes library.
    The CD has 11 songs on it. All 11 songs were imported into my iTunes library. Two of the songs had additional artists listed on the credits.
    Track 7 Blake Shelton with Martina McBride and Track 11 Blake Selton with Miranda Lambert.
    These two songs were imported into my library but not included in the Album. They were labeled with their correct track number and the album was missing a song for track 7 and track 11. There was no cover artwork associated with those songs.
    When I moved the album to a playlist these two songs were not included.
    This is clearly an error in the current iTunes!
    Back before iTunes had the new visual format and new user interface I did not have this problem.
    I have reviewed all the preferences for iTunes but can not find any that would seem to control this behavior. I can not conceive that importing a cd should work this way.
    I tried to find a way to correct this situation and found that if you did get info on all 11 songs you could force them to be included on one album.
    The resulting album did not show track 7 in the correct order and the two tracks were still missing the cover artwork.
    I believe that in one of the iTunes updates that required a library conversion all my albums that had this situation were converted wrong so they broke apart songs from their albums.

    And thinking about it, when I reconnected last Sunday I recall that I got that prompt on my phone something like "Do you trust this computer?". Not seen that one for a while.
