Audio Lost on movie clips

I had a 5 minute video that I edited down to about 3 minutes. The full 5 minute file has audio, but after I extracted the clips and play them together, there is no audio. Can anyone help me get the audio on the clips?

The .mov or .avi is a designation for a 'container' not a specifc format, and it can be in a variety of codec. Perhaps yours is a codec that iMovie 6 cannot read properly. You may need to convert the footage to .dv and then import into iMovie.
You can use Streamclip for this conversion: http://www.squared5.com/
If your original .mov movies imported and played fine, they should still play ok after you trimmed the clips. You did this by splitting the clip and deleting the unwanted parts? Did you make any other edits, add any other audio tracks?
Did you accidentally uncheck the sound of the track in the timeline view? Did you mute the sound in the video?
Did you use the 'extract audio' command?
Have you looked at the clips in the timeline view, selecting 'View' and 'Show Clip Volume' to be sure that the clip's volume didn't get put too low to be heard?

I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it.

Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

Interrupted audio extraction, now audio LOST on some clips!

I was extracting audio from several clips. As it was running I realized I did not need to extract from all the clips, only one. Since extracting audio takes SO LONG, I pressed the CANCEL button during extraction. Now some of the clips had already extracted and those are fine (with extracted audio) but the remaining clips which did not extract now have NO AUDIO at all. HELP!!!! I need to recover the lost audio without losing the hours I already spent editing and arranging clips.

Hi n
Are You sure.
If advanced user and really know this, then You need to:
• delete iMovie pref file
• Repair premissions - Apple Disk Util tool
• Repair Hard disk - Apple Disk Util tool - You need to start from CD/DVD or external hard disk to do this.
If not so sure or a beginner:
• When Extracting audio the original sound is not moved from Your Clip only silenced. If You turn on
audio adjustment "rubber-band" then You just increas the audio of Your clip to 100% ant ther it is.
Last point is my main bet.
iMovie is a non-destructive movie editor. That's why Your sound should be with Your clip and just
silenced after extracting.

Replacing audio in mp4 movie clip

For two days now I'm trying to find a way to easily replace audio track in my mp4 movie clip without re-encoding the whole thing. I found an answer how to do it in QuickTime Pro and some other software, but no luck with Adobe Premiere Pro or Audition or other Adobe CS6 Production Premium software which I own. Can somebody please tell me how to do it? Is it even possible
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kevin,
There is a way! I just figured it out!
I have my extracted audio in the clip bin where it should be after I "edit audio in Adobe Audition." I then unlinked just my audio clips with the track selection tool as they were on the same track. Then I relinked the audio to the extracted enhanced audio file and BAM! It worked!
Figuring this out just saved me hours possibly days of manually replacing these audio clips!

Extracted Audio longer than movie clip, please help...

I was reading some of your FAQ's about extracted audio being
recomposed with a mono instead of stereo for exported audio from a microphone or other mono device, and then importing it back into iMovie after mixing it in Quicktime, to make it stereo (albeit with only mono feed).
My question is this:
I extract the audio from the clip that I am running, and it is fine and good while within iMovie, however, once I drag and drop it to my desktop, and open it with quicktime and either play it or export it as mono to get it to play through both speakers, it uses the original
length of audio not the edited version that i pull from imovie. It is very frustrating, and I am not sure why it keeps doing this.
While it is in iMovie, the audio and video match, and are synched. But, when I export it, for some reason, it exports the original audio from the unedited clip (which has already been deleted!), and I don't know what to do to get it to export just the audio clip as it stands now within iMovie.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Aesthesia - that is a fact of life of non-destructive editing. When audio is extracted from a shortened, cropped clip, it actually extracts the entire audio from the underlying original source clip. You can test this by extracting audio from a cropped clip, and you will find that you can, by direct editing, extend it back to its original length.
That explains why the audio file when played outside of iMovie plays at the original length.

The audio in my movie clips drops out sporadically, How can I fix this?

I have a collaboration of video clips from a baseball game that I put together in iMovie 09. I added a background song to play over the clips, I have the (video) volume turned down for some of my videos so that you can hear the background music, but when I try to turn the (video) volume up to hear the cheering at the game over the music, there is no sound at all! If I pause the playback and resume it, I will hear the cheering in the video like I want.
Pausing then resuming to get my sounds to work correctly is tangible, but the real problem is that it cuts out when I am exporting to iTunes or YouTube as well.
Please Help! Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Some times simply quitting any and all sound Apps (iTunes, QuickTime, any audio player) restarting often solves the problem. An SMC reset might also work.
If the laptop went to sleep with headphones or external speakers plugged into the headphone jack loss of audio on wake can result. In future do not sleep with headphones or speakers attached.

The audio plays fine in the project screen but in fullscreen playback the audio is lost on certain clips often alternating with each clip. How to fix?

Audio is fine in project screen play back but when full screen playback is used the audio is lost from alternating clips. This carries over to the exported file/final version. This is my 1st time using I movie.

Hey did you find any solutions? I'm running into the same problems, would appreciate feedback and possible ways to fix this problem?
Thanks!

You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Movie Clips Actions Get Out Of Synch With Audio

My movie is five about minutes long with audio and an offscreen timeline move clip containing action script to control other movie clips or play the root directory. After about a minute or so, movie clips get out-of-synch with the audio, apparently its getting bogged down.
My swf file doesn't seem that big, about 2.2MB and my move clips aren't that complex, although up to three levels deep.
My version is Flash 8 Professional and my laptop was on the high end about 18 months ago.
Am I missing something or expecting too much from Flash?
Thanks,
Mike (who seems to know enough to be dangerous)

Place another copy at the end of the first.

Lost ability to move clips using keyboard -and fix

So suddenly the other day, I could no longer move clips in a timeline using the keyboard. I would select a clip in the timeline and hit (for example) +40 to move the clip down the timeline 40 frames. Didn't matter whether I used the numeric keypad or the keys on the main part of the keyboard. Didn't get any error message or beep. When I hit the plus (or minus key) the little move window would open, I would enter numbers and hit either enter or return. And nothing would happen. I could click and drag on a clip in the timeline without any problems.
I tried deleting preferences but it didn't help.
Solution: created new sequence, and copied the contents of the problem sequence to the new sequence and problem solved.

Thanks for the post Michael.
I'm curious, you didn't by any chance move up to QT 7.6 did you?

Urgent : Flash CC File is corrupted, symbol (movie clip) are empty, use count : 0 . ONE week of work lost, need help!

Hello,
I have been working on a Flash File with a lot of animations / symbols etc, and on thursday (during the Adobe Update), when I opened my file, all the symbol (movie clip) are empty, use count : 0.
The size of the file is still the same though, 35mo.
I had only this file, I really need help to repair it...
Please let me know if you have a solution.
Thank you!

hi,
Can you please share the file which got corrupted?
Was the original file created in older version(CS6 and below) of Flash?
Were you trying to open the file in Flash CS6?
Did your original file had symbol names containing | : ; & * , etc.characters or leading/trailing spaces?
Rgds,
Mukesh
