Audio tracks missing in the timeline viewer

Hello,
I am using Imovie 4.0.1 and have been working on a project for several months and now towards the homestretch, I have lost the ability to see the audio tracks that I added to the project. I am referring to the 2nd and 3rd tracks on the timeline viewer. This isn't a killer as I have completed all of my editing and am ready to export it to my camera (to then reimport, seperate audio, and then lock--to make sure audio and video matches up) The problem is that when I export to the camera, the audio comes and goes, and some of the video stutters at times. It seems that this all might be related. Has my imovie become corrupted? All of the projects that I have worked on in the past--that are still on this computer--exhibit the same thing i.e. I can't see the audio tracks and the editing arrows (and other items) have disappeared from underneath the viewing area.
I would appreciate any help.

com.apple.imovie3.plist is what you should have found because you are using imovie 4.
And, a new .plist should have been made by imovie when you re-launched it-so that's OK.
Sounds like you have enough HD space...are you sure you are using the Timeline viewer and not the Clip viewer?
The Clip viewer looks like this:
And the Timeline viewer looks like this:
(But these are screen shots from imovie 5 so don't let that confuse you).

  • Why won't both audio tracks appear on the timeline????

    Hello,
    here is a dumb question. When I drag my clips to the timeline only one audio track appears on the timeline and I know there are two track of audio. I must have accidently changed some settings. anyone know what's up?
    Thanks for your help

    Are both audio tabs connected to the timeline? Just to the left of the timeline are the V1 and A1 and A2 audio tabs from the source clips. Is one disconnected?

  • MPEG gets audio track truncated in the timeline

    I havean  mpeg produced in Adobe Media encoder ( from Premiere).
    Plays and checks out fine until it is placed in an Encore Timeline and the audio track gets cut off  at about 80% of the video.
    eg  The video and audio track match  lengths visually when I drag in the mpeg file...until I Release the mouse.  THen the audio track truncates.
    mpeg duration = 1.20mins
    Any thoughts folks?

    It was mpeg 2 dvd. Ann
    I haved just tried with different multiplexer ( m2v) and that works fine.

  • All audio tracks disappeared form the Timeline, but audio still works

    Hi there.
    I've been using Premiere for quite a while (I still have the 2.0 version), but this problem never occured before. I'm running Premiere on Win Vista.
    I've been working on a project for a few weeks and eventually I got a version that was more or less final. Thus I tried to render everything a few times (Quicktime H264) but the render never succeeded because of an "API failure". Didn't manage to fix that, so I tried to render in wmv, just to check if it worked.
    Well, it worked, but when render finished all the audio tracks had disappeared form the Timeline. I tried to find a solution on the web but couldn't find anything useful. No matters how much I scroll down and/or move the windows, the audio tracks just are not there. And the triky part is that I still can hear the sound when playing the sequence! I tried to add some empty audio tracks and Premiere apparently does it (it records it in the history), but no audio track shows up...
    Any solutions?
    Thank you

    This sounds like a redraw problem, which is usually the fault of graphics hardware/driver.  Try checking those.

  • Is it possible to group video and audio tracks separately in the timeline?

    Currectly tracks are ordered like this:
    video
    audio
    video
    audio
    video
    audio
    Can I arrange them to look more like:
    video
    video
    video
    audio
    audio
    audio
    Since I get to use both Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro frequently at work, I would find it more natural if audio and video were grouped separately.

    You are welcome.
    I find it interesting, as about 10% of the users of PrE would like to arrange the Audio & Video Tracks in the form of PrPro, however, about 10% of the users of PrPro would like to arrange them like PrE!
    Personally, I find the PrPro arrangement (as you were requesting) to be the most logical for my workflow. I do my Video first, and like all Tracks grouped atop the divider line, and when done there, move down to my Audio. I still get lost and confused in PrE, because of the grouping there.
    Now one little tip, that might help you a bit: one can Add, or Delete Tracks pretty easily. I have a Sequence (think multiple Timelines in PrE) Preset that gives me 4 Video Tracks, 1 mono Audio Track, 4 stereo Audio Tracks, and a DD 5.1 SS Master Track. This is the "average" of the normal Timelines that I work with. When doing an edit, where the extra Tracks are not needed, I choose Sequence>Delete Unused Tracks to "clean" things up a bit. Then, I am only looking at Tracks (Video and Audio) that are in use.
    Good luck,

  • Urgent editing crisis! Audio track A1 on the timeline has locked itself (not the 'lock symbol').

    I can move the video footage but the audio is stuck. I get the red plus/minus (audio out of sync) when I move the video footage. I can't even right click on any of the files in the Audio 1 track, they are completely 'locked'. If I right click on the video footage that correspond with the A1 audio they have all ben 'on-linek'. Audio track 2 and 3 works absolutely fine and i can change length, delete and right click on them. What have I done wrong? Tried everything but can seem to find a solution.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Probably too late to look into your history panel. What about saving project in another name version and opening Auto Save versions?
    thats all I got.  Good luck

  • Audio track missing on timeline when I insert clip from source monitor

    I have the following problem with PP CS6: my media contains two alternate mono tracks (one with the signal boosted as an insurance) and I have PP set up to treat them as two mono tracks, rather than one stereo track. Everything works fine when I drag media directly to the timeline from the project panel. But when I use the source monitor to select in and out points, and then insert the chosen clip into the timeline, only one of the two audio tracks appears on the timeline. Can anyone please explain how to make sure I get both tracks on the timeline via this route?
    Thanks
    DM

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for replying. Unfortunately this doesn't apply to my case. I've set PP's default behaviour to import as dual mono in Edit\Preferences\Audio. This allows me to drag media from the project panel to the timeline and get two sediscrete mono channels. My problem is that when I go the source monitor route, any clip that I insert does not display two audio tracks on the timeline, just one. I have discovered I can switch the source channel from left to right, which to all intents and purposes fixes my problem, but I would like to maintain the option of getting both channels displayed separately on the timeline if possible.
    Thanks

  • Audio tracks missing when doing automate to sequence.

    Using PMW200 with 4 audio tracks. When dragging single file to timeline I get the 4 audio tracks. But when I do an automate to sequence, I only get 1 audio track, plus, the default audio transition is not going on.
    I have all the tracks highlighted and have ticked apply audio and video transitions.
    Any idea where I'm going wrong? Thanks

    Hi Kevin.  I uploaded a clip onto you tube for you to try, but you tube mixed the audio tracks so it was useless.
    Basically, drag any video clip with 4 audio tracks recorded from camera onto timeline in cs6, and all audio tracks appear on the timeline.  But automate several similar tracks to timeline and only one audio track gets added.  The other 3 do not appear.  Is there a work around for this, rather than dragging all on one at a time.
    Thanks

  • Why the timeline viewer show a movie longer that it is?

    My movie is 23 minutes long however when I look at it in the timeline viewer mode it shows the movie to be more than one hour long. In other words the portion of movie with video and audio is confined (more like pushed to the left) of the iMovie screen and there is a large white portion of screen which is blank/white with nothing in. How can I remove this portion?
    Thanks in advance for any advice,
    Frank

    Hi Frank - make sure that there is no remnant of a clip (audio or video) lurking somewhere at the extreme end. Zoom in as far as possible for the smallest fragments to show.
    Sometimes this occurs when an audio track that originally extended well beyond the last video clip is then trimmed to fit. Usually, however, during play-back, the playhead stops at the end of the last video clip. Does this not happen in your case?

  • How to make the audio track independent from the video track?

    Hi -
    Select the clip in the timeline.
    Type Command + L or go to the menu Modify > Link to toggle it off.

  • Why can you no longer see audio clip names in the timeline in CC?

    This is very frustrating, so I'm hoping there's a solution. I need to be able to read audio file names within the timeline...especially music clips. Why would they remove this feature? Is there a way to get it back? And while I'm at it, why do you now have to expand the timeline tracks to be able to read the the track names? (I label all of my track names, but obviously don't want them all expanded just to be able to read what I labeled each track...that would be one fluster cluck of a timeline since I have a minimum of 10 audio tracks at all times!)
    Thanks for any help on this issue! I just switched to CC v.8 yesterday and am trying to work out all the kinks.

    Hit the wrench in the timeline and check Show Audio Names.

  • How to modify the timescale on the Timeline view in MSP 2010

    I created Timeline's for some projects using MSP 2010.  Some Tinelines display quarters and others display months.  I can't find an option to change the Timeline timescale.  I tried switching the timescale onthe Gantt view but it
    had no effect on the Timeline view. 
    Is there a direct or indirect way to change the timescale units on the Tineline view time scale?

    Click in  the Timeline view and the ribbon bar for Timeline will be activated.  On the left side you should see Date Format.  Use this to select the date format you would like to view.
    As i adjust the timescale using the zoom in the lower right corner it seems to be adjusting the date density.  Keep in mind that this view will also adjust to the density necessary to show the entire project in the view.  When you click on the
    View tab (ribbon) you can use the option for the entire project.  Note that the Timescale options are not available.
    I suggest for the best use of this view to use it at a high level.  What I recommend is to show summary and milestone taaks only.

  • A portion of the audio is missing on the end of clips?

    Using Adobe Premiere Elements 7 a portion of the audio is missing on the end of clips after I bring it in. The files are motion JPEG AVI .

    Welcome to the forum.
    I do not recall seeing any issue with muxed MJPEG files, regarding truncated Audio. First, take a look at this ARTICLE on MJPEG files.
    Next, all Audio files (muxed or elemental streams) must be Conformed, which converts them to 32 bit, floating point files for editing. If one does not allow the Conforming to complete 100%, the Audio can be truncated. See this ARTICLE.
    Good luck,
