Audio suffers when putting a caption over video

When I have been using iMovie and have put a caption over the top of some video, the audio quality seems to suffer over the section that the caption is on. It becomes quieter and more muffled. In short, its not the same as the rest of the video clip. Any ideas why, or how I could fix this? I've tried increasing the volume on the affected clip but it doesn't seem to fully work.

A clip's volume is lower after you use an effect or title in iMovie 4

Can't hear my audio clip when i play back my video. Why?

I recorded an audio file in QuickTime, moved it to iTunes, then imported it into iMovie. Then I dragged it to the Project area, under my video clips but you can't hear it when playing the clip. What am I doing wrong?

Well, in the "System settings" menu I have these options:
Default imput: Built-in microphone Default Output: Built-in output
Built-in input System Output: Built-in output
(In neither of the imput/output menus I see built-in audio.0
In the "Properties For" menu immediately below the "system settings" menu I get the following three options:
Built-in Microphone
Built-in Input
Built-in Output
(No "built-in audio" option either in this case.)This menu is currently set to built-in microphone, and I just found out that if I set it to built-in input, the audio output below appears 'output not supported' and greyed out, and if I set it to built-in output, the audio input below appears not supported and greyed out, whereas the audio output now appears to be supported. How come? It seems that I cannot have both at the same time. Is that normal?
One more thing: I don't know if this is important, but I think I most probably is:Whenever I start Logic Pro in my computer a dialogue box appears warning me that "The previously selected audio interface is no available" and that "The built-in audio inputs and outputs of the computer will be used instead for this session."
Thanks again Caramby!

Audio hesitates when streaming music or watching video

I have a intermitten pause or hesitation(gap) in my audio playback of any video imported from iphone or streamed in music such as Pandora or AOL Radio. I'm not sure exactly when it started but I noticed it about 3-4 weeks ago. I've only noticed this during audio playback. Video is fine. Itunes audio playback is fine. I haven't tried a itunes movie yet. Will do asap. System resources don't appear to be taxed or anywhere near performance limitations (memory, cpu, etc.). The volume drops like someone is hitting the mute button cause it never loses tracking (stays in sync). Happens anywhere between 5-20 seconds and never last more than a second. Thanks in advance.

Please see the following FAQ for details on how to report this issue and possible workaround that might help.

A shadow when putting a box over another box.

why when i put a box with the same color over a box from the master page with the same color it creates a different color shadow instead of blending in, how can you fix it.

The text box's opacity has been lowered you need to make them a solid colour.
The opacity control is on the top menu bar between effect and hyperlink.
Slide it all the way to the right or type in 100!

Hello there, ShipTheWhouffle.
The following Knowledge Base article has some pointers on making sure you get the podcast onto your iPod shuffle:
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1831
Specifically:
Adding Audiobooks and Podcasts to iPod shuffle
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using the Podcasts tab in iTunes.
iPod shuffle (3rd generation)
Playing Audiobooks and Podcasts on iPod shuffle
When using iPod shuffle (1st and 2nd generation), if iPod shuffle is set to shuffle songs it will play all the audio files on iPod shuffle except audiobooks and podcasts1. To play an audiobook or podcast, set the switch on iPod shuffle to play in order .
When using iPod shuffle (3rd generation), podcasts and audiobooks will not be played when content is playedfrom All Songs. If content is played from a playlist synced from iTunes, audiobooks and podcasts will only be played if the iPod's switch is set to play in order . In addition to playlists synced from iTunes, iPod shuffle (3rd generation) will create a special playlist for each audiobook synced and one for podcasts. When accessing these special playlists, audiobook and podcast content will play whether the iPod is set to play in order or shuffle songs . Podcast are sorted by alphabetical order and then by episode date.

Put a graphic over/in a video clip

What I'm trying to do is put the logo Baywatch (but my own version, something stupid like Boobwatch) over a beach scene I have. Since it's not a font, can I do this in iMovie in anyway? I'd create it in Photoshop, but can I get the graphic on top of the video? Something how you put on font on the video rather than "Over Black." I want to put the graphic on the clip.
If not, are my only other options exporting the video to Photoshop and doing it all in there? Or the second option, making the font?

I need to buy the plug-ins to do this correctly, but in the meantime, here's what you can do. It won't put your logo over the TOP of the background footage, but it may work until you purchase the plugin that's needed:
1. Add an edit mark at the beginning and end of the sequence you want to overlay the logo. To put an edit mark, press Apple Key and 'T' at the same time.
2. Click the clip inside the edit marks by simply clicking on it. It turns dark blue.
3. Go to Advanced pull-down options and select Extract Audio. This will pull the audio from the selected clip and place it in one of the two audio tracks below the video clips.
4. While the video clip is still selected, delete it by pressing the Delete key. Don't empty the iMovie trash just in case you need to Undo your move.
5. Move the logo into your iMovie clip bin, then move it into the video timeline exactly where your previous clips was deleted. If it's longer or shorter than the extracted audio clip below it, double-click the logo image in the timeline and adjust it's duration. I think default is 0:05:00 seconds, but that can be changed. If you imported the logo image from iPhoto, it may have the Ken Burns move pre-selected, in which case you need to un-select Ken Burns, then adjust the duration of the logo image.
6. Now your extracted audio should play seamlessly along with the logo image.

When I try to record videos, the camera doesn't pick up my voice. Is it because I have over 1000 pics/vids?? Because Siri can hear me when I talk to her.... It only doesn't work on videos

Hi colin3!
It sounds like you could be having an issue with one of the microphones on your iPhone 5. Your iPhone 5 has three microphones that function together and separately, depending on what is using them.
Apple - iPhone 5 - It’s so much more. And so much less, too.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/
Enhanced audio on iPhone 5.
Apple EarPods are just the beginning of the improved audio experience on iPhone 5. It’s designed with three microphones: one on the front, one on the back, and one on the bottom. The front and back mics work together to achieve beamforming — a technique that helps iPhone focus on sound from the desired location for clearer audio. New noise-canceling technology reduces background noise. So when you hold iPhone up to your ear in a loud room, you hear what matters most: the voice on the other end.
There is an article available that can help you troubleshoot the issue a little further and can guide you to some next steps. That article can be found here:

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.

I edited audio from a clip in logic. when putting both back together in FCE it is out of sync.

Hi there,
i am more of a logic user than a FCE user. so i had a clip recorded at a friends in 720p (1280x720).
the audio codec used was 24-bit integer (little indian), stereo at 44,1k
the video one was: apple openDML JPEG, 1280x720
since i am used to the logic audio environment i decided to edit the audio in logic.
but now when putting it into FCE the clip is shorter than the video clip and starts to run away from the video. after a while its totally desynced.
i tried to edit the audio in logic in a 48k session and 44,1k,. bounced it 24bit and 16 bit and i feel i tried everything that come to my mind but nothing worked.
so right now i am really needy for any kind of idea that might work.
i hope i described the process of what i have been doing sufficiently and have given enough information (FCE 4.0, Logic Pro)
excuse my poor english, i am not used to writing anymore.
i hope someone takes the time and there is a possibility to fix this without editing the audio in FCE.
cheers and thanks in advance

well.... i had some problems when i exported the video and audio toghether. could not get the resolution right. so i changed the sequence settings to apple intermediate codec 720p30.
thing is this seems to work with audio 48k but the source file just got 44,1k.
before grasping the fit to fill feature, i got to check what that means.
thanks a lot for your help already
do i need to export the project in 48k audio maybe before i can use logic the edit the audio?

Streaming video stops when initiate closed captioning

So our company has a streaming video feed coming from the folks over at quickplay.com.
All was good watching the streaming video in Safari (iOS 8 and Mac 10.10)...UNTIL you turn on closed captioning. Now anytime you load the feed you get a "Missing plug-in" message with "This page contains content of “application/vnd.apple.mpegurl” type. You do not have the plug-in required to view this content."
Close/restart Safari, or rebooting does nothing...happens on the Mac and iPhone. So I came across the enable Accessibility options for closed captioning on both devices in Settings and nothing.
One of our staff needs to view this feed with the CC on to monitor it. So I guess first where on both devices is it caching the preference to use CC and making them unable to stream the feed any longer. And then...why is this not working?

What is the subject matter of these FLVs?
If it's Captivate screen captures, then you could have added the CC text to each slide if you had left them as FMV slides.
However, if the video content is of other things, e.g. people talking or some type of action captured with a video camera, then I believe your best solution would be to add the Closed Captioning in whatever tool you used to edit and publish the video.
As I mentioned before, Captivate doesn't really provide a mechanism for adding CC text to on screen objects that contain audio in any form. So for example, you cannot add CC text to an SWF that you've inserted as an animation, even though you can record and add audio to that SWF in Captivate. Videos are in a similar position, except that they usually don't have their audio added in Captivate. They mostly come with their audio track built in. This means the only real way to guarantee good synchronisation of the CC text is to have it embedded in the video as well.

Audio prioritization over Video with webcams

Apparently FMS automatically prioritizes audio over video in
a webcam conversation. In my experience this doesn't really happen.
In my app, possibly due to bandwidth limitations, webcam stream
runs with a delay of a few seconds (starts ok, but the delay grows
as the conversation continues). When the delay happens, audio is
synced with the webcam stream. I can live with seeing a video delay
of a few seconds (or lower quality or even totally interrupted),
but I certainly don't want that to happen to the audio.
Is there something that I need to do for FMS to limit the
video stream in favour of keeping audio as close to "live" as
possible. Right now, video lags and audio is always synced with it.

I hear what Daniel is saying. FMS_Developer this is great
feedback, but can you or can anyone else in the community or at
Adobe that can help define the FMS configuration and AS elements
that need to be tweaked (read as "set") to help FMS developers
quickly get past what should be a simple set up in their app rather
than a science project or a guessing game?
(e.g. Here are the items to consider - Network (User
(Bandwidth) to Server to (Bandwidth)Users) and based on these
connections if are you trying to achieve near real time audio /
video communication there is a balance between video / audio
quality, the number of connections and the amount of dropped
packets. Here are the AS items and FMS files to tweak and why. 1)
NetStream.setBufferTime() on the Client and the Server 2)
Client.setBandwidthLimit( ), NetStream.currentFps, etc. The
NetStream.setBufferTime() is important helps you to … )
I found the same thing as Dan – I cannot find the FMS
configuration and AS elements that need to be tweaked spelled out
anywhere in a single spot towards easily understanding how to
proceed with audio / video chat apps.
Can anyone in the community or at Adobe that can help define
the FMS configuration and AS elements that need to be tweaked (read
as "set") to help FMS developers quickly get past what should be a
simple set up in their app rather than a science project or a
guessing game? Or do you know of any resource on the net that would
assist?
Thanks in advance

Adding photos over video? Audio sync issues. :o(

I just started using iMovie HD today. So far so good- but I have run into an issue where I want to add photos over my interview subject (video and audio). I have separated the audio from the video so I can split the movie clip and add the photo... but iMovie isn't removing the extra movie footage so when the photo fades the movie audio doesn't sync with the persons lips. This must be a common issue. How do I fix this so when the photo fades the video underneath is synced with the audio (spoken word). Thanks for any help!!!
PB G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) I'm a imovie noob. :o)

Hi mistahtea - it sounds as though you are going about it in the wrong way.
Firstly make sure that in iMovie Preferences you have ticked 'Extract Audio when Pasting Over at Playhead'.
Then:
1. Copy the pic you want to superimpose.
2. Position the Playhead where you want the pic to insert.
3. Go Advanced>Paste Over at Playhead.
That should do the trick!

I need help figuring out how to put pics over video

How do I put pictures over video while keeping the audio from the video? I am using Premiere Elements 9.

Do you want the pictures to fill your video frame or do you want them smaller than the video frame so that the video shows behind them?
Have a look at my sample "Add Motion Behind Your Slideshow" sample and see if that's what you're trying to do.
http://muvipix.com/cooltricks.php
In any event, you put the video on one video track and the photos on a track above it, basically.
There's much more to explain, but before we get too deeply into that, we need to know exactly what you're trying to do. Can you link us to a YouTube video example?

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.
I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
I get video every time. HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
just no audio. Any suggestions?
I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

Claudiamil-
I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did. I'm using a small Vizio HDTV. I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers. In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down. Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.
