Audio offline in Timeline ONLY; Clips appear red (CS6)

Very, very, very frustrating issue.
I have a cut of a scene where the audio has all mysteriously gone offline (the clips in the timeline have turned red, rather than green). No audio plays back. Yet when I select "Reveal in Project", it finds the associated audio file. That audio file plays fine in the Source Monitor, fully online, waveforms, plays back fine. I can select "Edit Original" in the timeline and the original file will open up in iTunes and play fine. I put the file from the Project window offline and reconnected, yet the clip in the timeline doesn't change at all. It is connected, but doesn't act like it. Checking the timeline clip's properties, it says "Online". But it's not.
The most frustrating thing is that ONE of the shots has online audio that plays back. This is the same audio file as some of the other shots that register as offline!!!!!!!! It's absurd.
Earlier cuts, using the exact same audio files are all online, all work fine.
I have deleted my media cache, went back to an earlier auto-save, no luck. When I double-click the clip in the timeline, it opens a blank audio preview in the Source monitor, no waveforms but it does have my In/Out points. I tried copying the timecode and applying it to the ONLINE version of the file from the Project panel, but the timecode was bizarrely different and didn't match so I can't even use the "Replace with Clip" command. It's insane.
Any insight or help on this issue would be much appreciated. I've already had to go about re-adding clips manually, but hopefully for next time I can have an easier solution...

A bit same pb happen to me. The cut was OK I close it and a few days after open the project and the sound was in RED. Also all the rush were offline.
My rush were in  : AVCHD 1080p - Pixels carrés
Base de temps : 25,00 i/s
My solution is to copy in the same directory the rush (for exemple 00002.MTS  become 00002_2.MTS) and to reconnect in Premiere the rush 00002.MTS with 00002_2.MTS. (don't know if I am clear !).
This solves the problem for me.
Rq : if I clear the original file (00002.MTS) an rename the 00002_2.MTS in 00002.MTS the error is back ! Stange !

  • Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

    If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

  • My connected audio only clips moved from below to above the timeline. What happened? How do I get them below the timeline again?

    My connected audio only clips moved from below to above the timeline. What happened? And how do I get them below the timeline again?

    Repeatedly crashes. What I ended up doing was using a backup Final Cut Projects file and jettisoning this one with the glitch. Luckily, nada much lost. I've had a couple of these weird glitches happen in the Timeline, esp. when dealing with compound audio-only clips & some fx's and rather than spending mega time trying to fix the problem, I bail and start again, and try to be more methodical in my approach.

  • When I perform a split audio edit, the timeline doesn't show it when the clips are collapsed!

    Especially the clip whose audio is 'covering' another... the timeline doesn't show it's audio as extending, and it would appear only that the clip for which audio has been shortened, is still there, or at "0"... what gives? If you uncollapse the audio, or detach it, you do, once again, see the split audio.
    Thanks

    Like Zambonisurfer suggested, this is so by design.

  • Only audio transferring to timeline for edit

    Got a weird situation. Halfway through editing a concert with two cameras, suddenly the rover camera footage will not transfer to timeline. I have the still camera footage and then I put ins/outs in the viewer for rover footage and then drop them into timeline on a track atop other footage. Done this for a few years, no problems. And it is not the entire footage on this project because I already did about 33 minutes of this project like that. Now, when I set in and out in viewer and then drop onto timeline, only the audio tracks of new footage shows up. Any idea why all of the sudden this is happening?Thanks

    Yeah, everything is same as always. Just opened another project and took another clip and placed on top of still camera and works as should. I just started reloading the footage again, maybe it lost timecode when capturing. Usually it will stop the capture if this happens, but can't think of anything else that it could be.
    Timecode is not related in any way. The statement implies much.
    don't invest much effort in recapturing footage, just do a short clip. Let us know if recapturing a short clip solves this for you.

  • HT3659 My Soundtrack pro looses the mic on AJAKona.  It will appear as an input only after clicking on New audio file, then ok, Recording alert appears and then I have my AJA KONA3g back as an input option. loose it again if I change track

    My Soundtrack pro looses the mic on AJAKona.  It will appear as an input only by clicking on New audio file, then ok,  and an Recording alert comes up.  But if I change track I loose the AJA again. How do I fix this?

    Finally found the answer. The recording was done at 48, the audio/MIDI settings were set to 48, but the sampling setting on the export was not, causing everything else to break down. Once all three matched the export worked and the playback audio worked without opening the clip editing screen.

  • Only audio inserted into timeline

    FCX 10.1.3
    Mac Pro 2 x 2.93 6-Core Intel Xeon
    OSX 10.9.5
    32GB Ram
    ATI Radeon HD 5770
    I have a pretty severe problem with FCPX.  All this just started this morning.  When inserting footage from my event into the timeline, it only brings in the audio portion even though the clip is A/V media.  I know that shift+1 should change the source media option to all, but it doesn't work.  I've tried changing the source media import option on the bar and in the menus and it won't select the all or video only option.  They aren't greyed out or anything, it just won't move the check mark off of audio only.  I can insert stills and media that don't have an audio track fine.  I've reset my prefs and restarted my computer several times.  On a possibly unrelated note, on one of my restarts it took me to the grey screen of death(with all the languages) that forced a restart.  Could this be a logic board issue?

    TThat could be a hardware problem. Start by posting some screen shots of what's happening in FCP.

  • No Audio In FCPX Timeline, But It's In The Clip Window

    I grabbed some video with my iPhone and imported it into FCPX. I'm ready to start editing, so I drag the clip into the timeline -- but there's no audio. Previewing the clip in the Clip window/area pays the audio just fine -- but I get nothing in the Timeline. I see the waveform, I see the meter moving like it should -- but no audio.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Luis!  Hi, it's me again...the person with the conversion issues?  Anyway, that has been solved thankfully.  My new problem is what has been mentioned in this thread.  Audio in Clip Viewer but not when dropped in the Timeline.  I attempted the fixes suggested in this thread but I'm using FCP Version 4.0.1 (old, I know) and the steps given aren't the same.  The first part of my project has audio in the Timeline...I'm guessing I clicked or unchecked something...I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out.  Even pulled out the manual!  Let me know if you have any suggestions and thank you in advance!
    I have not used older versions in a while, but I guess you may have disconnected the little "a1" from the big "A1" as seen in the image below. Drag to reconnect them. If this is not it, then I can only suggest you ask this in the Final Cut Studio forum (or Final Cut Express forum - I imagine that is what you are using).

  • Ghost clip appears in canvas only when other clips are placed in its place

    Gd afternoon, this may sound crazy but here we go. the space on the timeline is blank, and when the sequence is played the blank section shows nothing but black screen. however when i drop any clip in the empty space on the timeline an old clip I changed the speed of shows over whatever clip i just dropped in the empty spot. Again, when the spot is empty nothing shows, only when a different clip is placed in that spot does the "ghost" clip appear over the new clip and the space that the ghost clip holds shows a blue rendered line for the speed that was changed.
    How do I get rid of this ghost clip?

    +thanks, i tried to delete the rendered clip but no help+
    No, what is required when the problem reaches the stage you described is to delete ALL of the render files for that sequence. One way to do that is to go to Tools > Render Manager and navigate to the problem sequence and clicking in the Remove column for that sequence. Then click OK.
    That will delete all of the render files for the sequence. Then you re-render. This sometimes works, as I said.

  • Lock the audio and precision edit only the video clips?

    How would I:
    Starting with a series of roughly edited video clips, add a final audio track, lock that track, and then precision edit the video to that audio?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum, onehhitfights.
    Let's start by clarifying exactly what you mean when you say that your A/V clips are importing only as audio. What does the clip's icon look like in the Project panel (list view)? Is it just an audio waveform, or does is it a combo of film frame and waveform?
    Is the audio missing regardless of whether you play it in the Source Monitor or drop it in on the Timeline and play it in the Program Monitor?
    If the clip's icon includes the film frame and you can see video in the Source Monitor, then most likely you don't have a video track selected for source patching.

  • Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5 Create Storyline with Audio-Only Clips in order to add crossfade transition.

    Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.5 – How to Create Storyline with audio-only clips. I'm following exercises in Diana Weynand's Pro Training Series, and this function is greyed out. Trying to create crossfade transition. New Compound Clip can be activated however.

    Chapter 7. Page 269. Exploring Audio Transitions. Selecting two audio clips, then control-clicking the clips. The dropdown menu to Create Storyline or (Command G) is greyed out. The function no longer seems to be available. I've found other functions that no longer apply with the latest version in relation to the book, and I assume that this is another one. But I'm trying to follow the book the best I can. I know there's a workaround. I can simply select an edit point and add the cross dissolve (Command T), but I wonder if this accomplishes the requested exercise from the book.

  • Insert Editing, Why Won't Clips Appear In The Timeline?

    Every time I attempt an insert edit, either via the "downward arrow" symbol or via "W" on the keyboard the clip appears in a secondary time/storyline below the Timeline, with a blank space in the main Timeline of exactly the same duration as the clip.
    Similarly if I drag a clip from one part of the Timeline to another the clip appears below the Timeline with a corresponding blank space.
    I do not want a secondary, or indeed tertiary storyline, I want all my clips to appear on the Timeline. I am not bothered about the length of the project or if I alter the length during the editing process.
    Suggestions will be appreciated,
    Ron

    Couldn't manage that Tom, my hands aren't big enough BUT I have since discovered that what I thought was the Timeline is in fact a secondary storyline, with the Timeline, dark grey, below it. If I insert edit the clip appears correctly on on the Timeline with the two adjacent clips above on the Secondary line.
    I have no idea how this happened. I started off my edit by by using the "append" arrow but the clips appeared and lined up together on this Secondary storyline.
    A very laborious task in dragging each clip off the Second line and onto the Timeline. Nearly an hours worth of short clips!
    I am about to start another project so will want to be certain to get all onto the Timeline. Perhaps my settings were wrong or I've inadvertently pressed the wrong key.  Ron

  • How do I speed up an audio only clip in iMovie?

    How do I speed up an audio only clip in iMovie?  I've added a song to a video clip and I'd like to speed up the song.  I already sped up the video clip.

    iM08 didn't have that feature.
    • purchase iM09 (Disks) or iM11 (only avail via  download/AppStore, you'd need MacOS10.6 doing so)
    • or use a  free 3rd party tool, workflow described on my website:

  • Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

    Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.

  • Without Mouse: Toggle between selected timeline video clips- Keyboard Only Method

    Simple Question, but can't able to find the answer on  internet.
    How do I select the timeline video clip without clicking on it with mouse help?
    All I  want to do is, select the video with keyboard only. And switch the cam layer on cut. In other words toggle the selected clip on cut points, with keyboard only.
    Thank you all
    Max

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say "the timeline video clip" but here are a few keyboard shortcuts that may help: the q key toggles between the Timeline and the Viewer windows; if the Timeline window is active, the up arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the previous edit; the down arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the next edit.
