Audio missing when importing clips

Hi, importing clips from my Sony handycam, no audio is available. Even opening the single clip file with Quicktime, no audio. Don't think it's the camera, as long as I tried with another similar model and the same problem occurs.

Hi all, just updating iMovie to 9.0.7 version the issue was fixed.
Thx all

  • Half of audio missing when importing .avi

    Hi, I am having some trouble with importing avi-files in Premiere Pro 5.5. I searched forum, read and did the troubleshooting guide at the wiki plus searched through the Adobe Premiere Pro Help without any result.
    Today I've been editing for 8 hours and everything worked fine. I imported some clips and used some of them. But then I messed up the bin-structure so I cleared the whole bin and started importing them again. I also deleted the sequence so no clips where in use.
    But now when I try to import the exact same file that worked before, The audio gets out of sync exactly half of the movies length. Like the audio starts in the middle of the clip while the movie starts from the beginning. So half way through the file it gets quiet because the audio ends there.
    I rebooted my laptop and restarted Premiere Pro. Now I've also reinstalled it. The files play fine in Media Player, VLC and Quicktime.
    Thankful for any kind of hints that could solve the problem
    Edit: now there is no sound at all - sometimes.. it kindof differs
    Edit2: now it started working again - although sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.. sooo annoying
    But if any one else gets this problem: restart restart restart restart, ;<

    Thank's a lot for the help and the reading! I got a lot more wiser about codecs and the details behind the file extension.
    I shot the video (and audio ) with a Nikon D300 DSLR.
    Here is the specs of the camera if needed.
    http://www.dpreview.com/news/2009/7/30/nikond300s#specs
    I ran the errored file through G-spot and this is the result. This is currently the only file that isn't working. Before, another file didn't work, but then it started working and now this file isn't working. At this point I imported all the other files into Premiere and they seem to work at the moment.
    Also, there is a red line above the video clips in the timeline even before adding any effects. The project is 25 fps and my videos are 24 fps. I didn't realize until now, hehe. Here is my sequence information.
    Properties
    6_Middagen
    1280 x 720
    00;11;20;05, 25,00 fps
    48000 Hz - Stereo
    Settings
    However I also tried importing and adding the same video clip on a Sequence with the settings
    Editing mode: DSLR
    Timebase: 24.00 fps
    Display format: 24 fps Timecode
    The rest of the settings are the same as in the picture above. This time I didn't get any colored render line. But the audio problem was still there.
    This is my project. You can see the waveform disappearing right after my timeline marker.
    I Googled "Nikon D300s h.264" and got a lot of results saying it does use it. I know my video files didn't work in CS4 before but the Nikon support said they would work fine in future updates of Adobe Premiere Pro. I am using Adobe Premiere CS5.5 though.
    The weird thing is that one file randomly stopped working. Then it started working again and now another file isn't working.

  • FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?

    Hello.   The link FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
    does not work, and i need the answer please. My imported MTS clips are not playing back audio because it seems that no audio imported with the video.   Thanks, Don.

    Hi there
    Audio plays when the object with the audio assigned appears. This is why you hear it when the Button appears.
    Try assigning the audio instead to the object that appears when you click the button. Perhaps the caption.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Audio Drift when importing VHS Tapes-Do I need a Canopus ADVC 300

    Embarking on the daunting task of importing/editting >100 2hr VHS tapes, and want to get the best results for my efforts.
    I pop a tape into a VCR connected via S-Video (video) and RCA (audio) cables to a Sony DVMC-DA1 AD converter, and from there to my Mac Pro via Firewire. Use FCE "Capture Now" using NTSC DV Converter setup. Start capture, let it run unattended, and return at my leisure to do some rough editting.
    Problem is the audio on the imported clip gradually loses sync, by about 2 seconds by the end of the clip. The sync problem is present on the clip when played with Quicktime as well.
    Questions:
    1. Is there a reasonable way to correct this in FCE?
    2. Since my Sony converter is nearing 10 years old, will use of a more recent AD converter such as the Canopus ADVC 300 result in a perfectly synced import?
    3. If so, can you comment on the Canopus's purported video noise reduction and image stabilization capabilities? Is it noticable/worthwhile?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hello,
    The problem is the audio is not 'locked' to the video, and your old Sony DVMC-DA1 does not appear to support locked audio.
    The only way you might deal with this in FCE itself would be to capture shorter clips (say, under 15 minutes each) which would minimize the degree to which the audio drifts out of sync in each clip. (The longer the clip, the greater the drift.)
    Given the large amount of video you wish to digitize (some 200 hours), it will be far preferable to use a Canopus ADVC-100, 110 or higher model - +they all support DV locked audio+ - so the video & audio are sync'd without the need for manual intervention or capturing short clips.
    I have used the Canopus 100 & 110 extensively and have been very happy with the results. Sometimes, depending on the VHS tape, there is some slight banding at the very bottom of the image but 1) this is +usually not visible+ in the finished movie because it is outside the 'image safe area' and 2) if necessary can be compensated via about a 2%-4% enlargement of the image in FCE (which is not enough to soften the image).
    I have not used the Canopus 300 because I never felt the need, as I am happy with my results from the 100 & 110. Users of the 300 have been pretty positive about its built-in TBC and image cleaning capabilities.

  • Audio problem when importing video files.

    Hello everyone,
    I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
    Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
    However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
    I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time  as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
    I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
    Cheers
    Christophe
    PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

    Update to 10.0.5.
    You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

  • Huge file size when importing clips

    When importing clips from my Sony Handycam (HDR TG3E) in HD 1920 X 1080 the file sizes get extremely large. A 10 minute clip results in a filesize (.mov) of approx 8 GB. Is this really meant to be? I use iMovie '08 v. 7.1.4.
    Would appreciate any help in adjusting the software or hardware preferences resulting in smaller files.

    for editing HiDEf, it gets automtically converted into some 'intermediate' codec, which has ~40-60GBs/h.
    on export, these files will get 'shrunk' again..

  • Gaps in audio when importing clips?

    When I try to import clips from my camcorder to imovie, quite often it happens there are little gaps with no sound (easy to hear, and visible in audio wave as gaps as well).
    When I connect the camcorder to the TV set, then the sound is fine, thus assume it cannot be a mistake in recording.
    I've also exchanged the firewire cord, still the problem continues...
    Would be extremely grateful for any help...

    Hello BCRC,
    What make / model computer are you using?
    What operating system?
    What program are you using to burn the DVD's and CDs?
    By gaps are you meaning that there is a gap from one track to the next and you are looking to burn gapless discs, or are you referring to the audio actually skipping parts of the audio when burning?

  • Missing audio track when importing video into Premiere Pro CS3

    When I import my M2TS video into the editor there is no audio when viewed in the source.  There is also no audio track when I drag a clip down to the timeline.  Any fix for this?

    I have the same problem with M2TS files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The audio track is there - Adobe Premiere just doesn't recognize it. If you open the same clip in Nero Showtime, Corel Ulead VideoStudio, etc., the audio will be there. The audio is probably multiplexed.
    I have been recording High Definition TV using the Hauppauge HD PVR 1212. About 15-20 % of the M2TS files recorded will be seen as video only clips by Adobe Premiere. The remaining clips will be conformed by Premiere and you will have a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. If you convert the video only clips to .MP4 and then re-import them into Premiere you will then have the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track back and you're good to go.
    I use either Xilisoft or Arcsoft media converters to change to .MP4 files. If you use Arcsoft you will have to render the clip. The files converted by Xilisoft don't have to be rendered for playback.

  • Audio dropout when importing from tape

    I have several imovie projects from many years ago backed up on DV tape. I decided to import them to imovie and convert them to itunes format videos
    to store them as computer files. The process had gone well, but I have one project where the first clip loses sound. I can hear the sound when the tape plays on the camcorder and I can hear the sound when the clips are being imported to imovie, but the sound is missing on the first clip - completely absent. All subsequent clips are fine.  The problem is the first 15-sec clip in a 45 min project, but it is critical.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    iMovie'08 to 11 - are far from tools of choice when working with miniDV tape material - as non of them can deliver 100% out to e.g. DVD or whatever You want to do with it.
    iMovie up HD6 and FinalCut are far more better.
    iMovie up to HD6 - Can import even if TimeBase code info is broken - set to NOT import as individual clips.
    If tape is recorded in LP-Mode - Then You got lot's of problem
    • You need the Original Camera that made the recording - even same type and No: doesn't help as tolerances are to thin/small.
    • Import into iMovie HD6
    • as NO individual Clips - set in iMovie pref.
    • and To TimeLine - not to Shelf
    • DIRECTLY after import - Extract Sound (Advance menu - down) - ELSE Audio get's out of Sync.
    Now I use to copy back to tape and CAMERA SET TO SP-Mode ! Just to get a good archive tape !
    Good Luck - Yours Bengt W

  • Audio missing from Merged Clips

    Okay, editing a feature film on Premiere CC.  Just imported a project into my working project that contained the merged clips I created using my video (Red footage) and 2nd source audio.  Files had been all renamed in Premiere to match scene/shot numbers.  Kept only the merged clips, deleted everything else from working project folder, as I had for all the other clips that work perfectly fine.  Edited the new clips last night, working perfectly.
    Reopened project this morning to continue working, and now all of the clips have dead tracks as in no audio.  The actual tracks are there, but there's no sound.  I doubled clicked on just the audio track in the clip in the sequence and it's red in my source window.
    How can I fix this?

    I'm using the same workflow and reproduced the bug in 7.2.1. The issue is cut & paste of the merged clip.
    After merging audio and video clips I would select the newly merged clip in the project bin, hit cut, select a different bin, and hit paste. The merge clip gets moved to the new bin, but also gets corrupted. From now on, the merged clip is missing audio information. When placed on the timeline, audio tracks are colored red and show no wavefrom. Even "Link media" can't properly associate the merged clip with the audio again.
    To reproduce the bug, It's not necessary to delete the original clips that were merged, nor is it necessary to save and reload the project. After cutting & pasting the merged clip is damaged immediately.
    Easiest workaround for now is to use drag & drop to move the merged clips to a different bin. That does not corrupt the files.
    Hopefully a staff member can notice this thread and report the bug to development.

  • Video and audio sync when viewing clips online

    When viewing clips, like on youtube, the graphics start playing, however there is no sound, only after a few seconds the graphics freeze and the sound that was missing starts playing and the graphics resume when they're in sync again.
    Also when I pause a video and click play the clip will not resume and I have to click the "time bar" and then it will play.
    My 13 MB Pro starts furiously blowing the cooling fan and consuming battery life when viewing clips on most video sites.
    How can I fix these things?
    This already happened before upgrading to Lion, btw.

    Are you capturing this thru the LS? and what is the format you are digitizing? DV? or uncompressed? Would be best I'd think if you don't capture audio and video as separate files too. That leads to problems especially with DV captures.
    How are you monitoring the audio and video? all from computer or? You could be in sync and not know it if you are using computer speakers for monitoring audio when watching video externally for example.
    If you monitor both from the computer and it is in sync, but not when you record to video, I'd suggest that you export a self contained movie of this material and import that for the print to the beta... I'll wager that will keep your sync. If this doesn't help, might want to post this in the AJA KONA forum at http://www.creativecow.net Might be something to do with your LS, not sure but do have the latest drivers installed on it...

  • Loss of audio sync when importing Samsung Galaxy 2 (GT-I1900) video to Premier Elements 10

    I am loosing audio sync when I import video from a Samsung Galaxy 2 GT-I1900 phone even when using settings chosen by Premier Elements 10. 
    The file plays OK in Windows 7 media player.
    I have tried using both direct import from the phone and transferring the file separately without solving the problem.
    The Premier Elements is version 10.0(20110902.Mol11.B123.280463)
    Unlinking the audio and video makes no difference.
    VideoReDo reports the file as :
    File:                                     Name : C:\dcim from samsung\DCIM\Camera\20121121_114639.mp4

    Letting VideoReDo simply rewrite the file resulted in loss of all but the first few seconds of audio. 
    Elements seems to have imported the file as NTSC-AVCHD-AVCHD LITE 720p 30fps
    The computer is running Windows 7 Professional  64 bit version  Service Pack 1 kernel 6.1.7601.17944 (reported by SIW)
    The computer motherboard is a Gigabyte Z68x-UD3H-B3 with an Intel Core i5-2500 CPU at 3.30GHz. Memory is 4GB.
    I note that others have had similar problems with non video recorder recordings.
    Can you suggest any file conversion of the original that will work – I have tried several with no improvement in the final result.
    And can anyone shed light on what is the basic cause of these problems?

    According to the Adobe installation information the trial version of Premiere Elements 11 is fully functional and the watermark is only present until a licence code is purchased.
    I have edited AVI footage from a camcorder using the program with no problems (and no loss of audio sync) and the watermark is also present with this.
    The odd placement of audio and video was caused by my not dragging the clip carefully enough.
    What is odd is that the clip plays completely normally using WIndows Media Player and VLC Media player so I would expect Premiere Elements to be able to handle it without problems.
    I think that there is some sort of bug in Premiere Elements' handling of mpe4 files (both in versions 10 and 11) rather than there being anything wrong with my computer.
    Is there some way of communicating this directly to the Adobe programers ?
    I enclose screenshots of the project settings:

  • Video missing when importing Nikon V1 movies

    When importing movies in FCPX from a new 1-series Nikon V1 camera only the audio is captured, not the video.  The same files (video and audio) play fine in Quicktime and are also captured without problems (although very slowly) in iMovie.

    Hi I have bought the Nikon V1 and use it with the 10-100 Vr PD lens. I have just come back from a Skiing Holiday which gave me the opportunity to Test the camera.
    I also use a Panasonic AG AF 100 Pro Video camera also
    Due to size and weight I only took the V1 only
    When I watched the replay on a HD television I was blown away by the quality of this little camera Definition in snow conditions were incredible, fast focus ease of use and LIGHTNESS!
    I would compare the cameras as equal, although there are more things you can do with a Panasonic but at 5 times the price
    So anybody considering this camera the V1, don't be put off, I am sure the market will soon make the appropriate converter which will solve the current problems

  • Losing Audio Tracks When importing from 5.1 to 3

    I was capturing video on one of the new intel imacs in FCP 5.1. Afterwards I'm importing the files into a project on my powerbook g4 with FCP 3. For some reason I only get 1 audio track when I import the files.
    The files on my imac all say 1V and 2A and have the two separate audio tracks. But when I import them on my laptop I get only 1V and 1A. I've tried everything I can think of and changed all the settings I can but can't figure this one out. Can anybody help me?

    This has been posted by others in the past, there seems to be changes in FCP 5 and/or QuickTime that make its media not fully-readable by earlier revs of FCP.
    I would recapture in FCP 3.
