Audio tracks no longer play, Help

I have been working with a  dozen or so movies.  The video is set.  Audio clips come from several sessions using voiceover and narrative tracks imported from itunes.  Everything had been working well until today when I opened imovie11 to continue editing the sound tracks.    Most of the sound tracks do not play.  The movie inspector does not show any problems that I can see.  Volume is up on all of them, their is no ducking or fade. What could have happened?  Can I get the sound to play again and finish the movie? 
Thank you,
Desperate Here

I should mention that I've installed some codecs in the last few weeks and perhaps this has caused Premier to stop importing audio tracks from AVIs? Is this a known issue?

  • TS2289 Audio Track Won't Play

    I imported an audio clip yesterday and it worked fine. Today when I opened my project, there was a yellow warning triangle in the top left above the first frame of my movie and the audio track won't play. What should I do?
    And where the heck is the "clock buttom"? I wasn't able to follow Apple Support's suggestions because I can't find it.

    I've adjusted my project according to Brian'statement, so I made all audio tracks and video track the same length, but it still doesn't work when I create the flash file. It plays only 1 audio track, whatever language you choose. It plays the audio track that is"active" in the project. This happens only with the flash. If I burn a DVD, then everything works fine... Am I doing something wrong ?

  • Audio track just stopped playing in FCE - help please

    I'm editing video and audio for 4 interview sequences. Three days ago, they all played back just fine from the timeline. Now, the audio tracks on one of the sequences is dead - the waveform is there, the tracks aren't muted, the tracks aren't locked. It's driving me crazy!
    Any ideas?

  • Premiere Pro CS2 - Audio track prevents sequence play in program monitor

    My sequence consists of 1 Video Track, and 2 Audio Tracks.  The "Video 1" and "Audio 1" tracks in the sequence consists of subclips taken from a master clip avi in the Project Panel captured from my video camera, and "Audio 2" in the sequence are MP3's that have been imported into the Project Panel.  The sequence plays fine and I'm able to make edits as long as the "Audio 1" track of the captured avi is disabled, and with "Audio 2" enabled.  But when the "Audio 1" track is enabled, the sequence will not play in the program monitor, and the entire program freezes up until I disable the "Audio 1" track, or otherwise the program just crashes.
    I've Googled my brains out today and yesterday, and I've reviewed all the program settings to the best of my knowledge.  I'm trying to produce a video that allows me to mix between the "Audio 1" track and the "Audio 2" track, but can't figure out why the "Audio 1" track prevents the sequence from playing in the Program Monitor.
    My soundcard is Creative SB Audigy 2, on Win XP.  Can someone please help me understand what I'm overlooking?

    Thanks Hunt, this was some solid information, especially the link.  I believe I've figured out the problem though... and it was ME!
    I didn't want to do it, but sometimes when you have a stubborn problem, it's best to just start all over from the beginning.  It turns out that what I thought was a developing masterpiece, was in reality only a HOT MESS, lol.
    The problem seemed to be in the way I created the subclips, in regards to whether the video and/or audio was selected, with respect to the in & out points, and with how those subclips were placed into the Timeline.  The problem was definitely in those subclips (...it's like the Timeline didn't know what to do with them). Once I went back, checked the source avi and master clips to verify they were intact, and being more careful in how I added the new clips into the Timeline, the audio from the imported video AND from the MP3's are now playing just fine in harmony, and I'm able to edit the sequence in the Program Monitor and with the Audio Mixer (...just as I suspected I was supposed to be able to do).
    Funny how when you think there's a major problem, it just turns out that the program was only doing what you were telling it to do, lol.  Thanks so much for stepping up and helping out Hunt.  It's so frustrating sitting by the computer, hoping someone will come to the rescue.  Your response was exactly the gentle guidance I needed.  Much appreciated!

  • Whenever I Split and Audio Track, it stops playing

    Ok,
    Been using imovie 11 for a few weeks. For the first couple weeks, i had no problem splitting an audio track into many pieces to adjust the volume on each piece.  Now, regardless of the project, whenever i split an audio track, neither part will play.  When i hit command-Z to put it back together, it plays with no problem, then if i try to resplit it, no volume.
    I tried a new project, very simple --  1 video clip, dragged the audo track to a point in the video and as long as i dont split it it works.
    I do not have beat-sync on.
    any help is appreciated!
    thank you

  • Soloed Audio Tracks Won't Play Logic 9.1.8 - Background Still Does

    I have a 59 track session in Logic 9.1.8. I've encountered a very odd problem. Multiple audio tracks, even when soloed, will not play; however background audio/other tracks still do. For instance, I've imported a rough vocal track to the mix and when I solo the track, I do not the vocals however I hear kick drum and piano tracks which have been muted. I have double checked every audio track's output, automation, etc…and read several other posts to try and find anyone with a similar issue, to no avail.
    Some specs - the majority of the tracks are imported Audio, I have attempted to solve the issue from my MacBook Pro (2013) AND from my studio system. All of the audio and session information are stored on our dropbox server, however other projects still work fine.
    Here's where it gets super weird - I even tried started the session over again and just importing in the audio tracks from scratch and there is STILL a problem - I imported 5 of the drum tracks - kick, hat, snare, taiko, and noise percussion. When I solo the taiko track, I hear the audio from the kick track and NO AUDIO from the taiko track, and this is a BRAND NEW SESSION.
    Someone PLEASE HELP.

    In Logic's preferences/Audio... Is Universal Track Mode enabled?  It should be.

  • Audio Tracks will not play

    Hi there,
    I'm using FCP 7 for a project that was originally edited in Final Cut 6 (I had to switch to 7 because BOTH my computers at home have crashed today which use FCP6, now I'm up at my office and have to use 7 - bad day, I know).
    I'm trying to do some sound edits and only one audio track is playing (tracks 3 and 4) which are the source audio from the XDCAM Footage (note, these tracks have not been soloed - if that's a word). All my other tracks are not working. When played they produce no sound, but the audio meters to the right are moving. When played in quicktime, iTunes, or Finder they do indeed still work.
    Audio Output has been set to Default, though I've also tried Built-in Audio Output. I'm using headphones, but it also does not play through the computer. I've also tried speakers. All other audio on the computer is fine - my volume is up.
    Sometimes I can get tracks one and two to play after re-rendering.
    RT is set to Unlimited, but it also doesn't work with Safe RT.
    Any insight into this issue would be much appreciated!
    Thanks

    Go to Sequence Settings...then the AUDIO TAB. How many tracks of audio do you have? More than 2 and STEREO?
    If you right-click on the track patch area on the timeline, you can assign these tracks to audio ouputs...are they set to anything other than 1 or 2?

  • Internet Audio will no longer Play Through USB Output to hi-fi Amplifier & Speakers

    My audio output jack on my Mac G4 is broken. I have been taking audio out of the computer by USB into a device that converts the audio so it can be used with a traditional amplifier and speakers. This presently, still works fine for audio or audio/video sources that are stored on my hard drive.  Yesterday, I was looking at a youtube video embedded on a non-youtube site. Both audio and video were working fine.Then the audio stopped working. I went to the youtube site and no audio worked there either. I have tried myspace and other sources with audio/video, but no longer will audio from the internet, play on the USB system.  Any player on the hard drive will produce audio through the USB port to the amplifier system. If I switch the Mac OS X.4.11 system preferences to select the internal speakers for the output destination, I can get audio from the internet again. Then everything from the internet or the computer plays through the internal speakers. I have Safari and Firefox Browsers. I need to be able to play music from the internet through the USB port to my amplifier and speakers. One suggestion I researched was to trash the Macromedia preferences and then restart the browser. I tried that to no avail. Hopefully, somebody out there knows what happened and can tell me how to fix it.

    Hi BD,
    Thanks for saving me. And thanks for responding so quickly. Your answer was there when I got up. For me 48 hours was a long time to go without that function.
    I had seen one reference to the audio midi setup app and had looked at it but somehow only saw the midi devices dialog box which I had dealt with in the past. After your post I went back to it and I immediately discovered that there is also an audio devices dialog box.
    From the drop-down menu I selected 44100.0 hz int the format field on the output (right) side of the dialog box.
    Also the Default Ouput and the System Output fields had built-in audio selected instead of iMic USB audio system. I used the drop-down menus to switch them back.
    So watching the youtube video imbedded on a non-youtube site must have changed those settings.
    Any idea why that would have happened?
    Now, I'm wondering if the little iMic USB audio system which converts the digital signal to analog line level out is actually a little midi device? Well, maybe not since there is no midi plug involved. I have seen that setting (44.0 Khz) relating to CDs I think. I'm guessing that 44.0 Khz and 44100.0 hz are very close to being exactly the same thing.
    So does 44.0 Khz = line level (analog audio)?
    Anyway, BD, Thanks again for solving my problem and doing it so quickly. What a relief!
    Have a great 4th of July holiday weekend,

  • Audio tracks no longer showing up on timeline

    Hi,
    I've been using Premier Pro for several months now with limited problems but just recently I'm no longer able to get audio tracks to show up on the timeline of my projects. When I go into older projects and import new AVIs, the audio won't show up. If I select an older AVI that was imported before this happened, I can get the audio to show up.
    This only seems to happen with AVI files where audio is compressed with mp3. AVIs with WAV audio are working. This is still odd though, b/c the mp3 AVIs were working fine several weeks ago.
    thanks in advance!

    I should mention that I've installed some codecs in the last few weeks and perhaps this has caused Premier to stop importing audio tracks from AVIs? Is this a known issue?

  • Track delays before playing  -  Help please

    DSP - 3 One of my tracks seems to delay before playing and I end up with a black screen before it begins. I went back to Final Cut and can't find any problem with it there. All my other tracks start fine. Help please.
    Thanks.

    Where are you seeing this? On a DVD player or in Simulator? What kind of menu are you using?
    The delay on a disc is usually (but not always) related to where the menu is physically located (usually near the spindle hole) compared to the track (anywhere else moving outwards towards the edge of the disc), and the routing tables which DVDSP creates on your behalf when the disc is built. Not all menu/track relationships will see the same delay and you can perhaps reduce it by adding the asset for the troublesome track into another track and setting it apart with a story. Your menu can then point to the assets within the story and it should make a difference.
    However, the delay you see on your player will almost certainly be different to that seen on another player - without using a spec level authoring package (or trying it in DVDSP4 where you can move menus into specific VTSs) you may well be stuck with it as it is if adding the asset to an existing track doesn't work.

  • Some audio files no longer playing?

    I am half way through an imovie project and recently added audio commentry, however some files no longer play also a few now have a yellow warning triangle?
    Im assuming the files are now corrupt or something?
    really annoying!, anyone have an idea what the problem is??
    Cheers

    Hi
    I'm assuming the files are now corrupt or something?
    I don't
    Yellow triangle - indicates that the pointer in iMovie to the Audio file used, no longer is valid.
    iMovie - DO NOT Copy the audio You put into Your movie project's at all - only points to where You found it.
    E.g. - You insert an Audio-CD and use a tune from this in Your movie - then you need a tune from another CD and Ejects the first one =====>  RESULTING IN A YELLOW Triangle - pointer to the tune on Your Audio-CD is broken up on You ejected the CD.
    I copy all needed Audio to a dedicated folder first (as I store in a proper place e.g. movie folder in User account) - then I use them into my movie.
    The deeper thing is - That there is NO movie in Your Movie Project at all - only a small text document pointing to the material used (video, photos, texts and audio) AND how You want it to be presented AS a Movie.
    Only when Shared / Finalized - there is an actual movie created.
    This is Non-Destructive non linear Video Editing and how it works.

  • QT H.264 files with two audio tracks. Quicktime plays 2nd track first. ***?

    I've been experimenting with H.264 (AVC) and my DVDs. Using Handbrake, I ripped a DVD to MP4 (H.264) and including the director's commentary as the second track.
    When I play the MP4 with Quicktime Player, it plays the director's commentary instead of the main soundtrack. VLC, however, correctly plays the first track (main movie audio track) and it allows me to select the second track via a menu.
    To get Quicktime to play the proper track, I have to open "Movie Properties" and manually uncheck the second track. This was never a problem with DivX/XviD encoded files with two audio tracks; Quicktime Player correctly played the first track.
    Why does Quicktime ignore the first audio track in MP4s (but not AVIs) and is there a way to correct this?

    I do have QT Pro.
    H.264 files are usually saved in a MP4 container. That's what Handbrake, ffpegX, and D-Vision create, anyway.
    The "Choose Language" option is greyed out (unavailable) when I open this H.264 MP4 in Quicktime. If I try to change the settings in "Movie Properties," it says that I must save it with the .MOV file suffix.
    It makes no sense to me that Quicktime Player can correctly identify the main audio soundtrack in a XviD file with an AVI container but not in a H.264 video with a MP4 container which Apple has been touting as the latest, greatest thing. Even VLC, an open source product still in beta, gets it right.

  • Changing The Tempo Of Audio Tracks....Help Please!!

    Hi,
    I've been pulling my hair out! I bought Logic 9 today, and have been trying to find my feet making a mashup of Enya's Orinoco Flow and The Prodigy Smack My B*tch Up....It's one of the easiest 2 tracks to mix apparently. Right...to the problem, and i'm sure it's a simple one for anyone with some Logic knowledge...
    The BPM for the prodigy song in audio track 1 is 136.2 which is the base bpm i want to keep for the song...
    I then import Enya into Audio track 2....How on earth do i change the tempo of the enya track to 136.2 ??!! I have tried everything (Except what works, clearly)
    I hope that makes sense...Any help would be apreciated!
    Thanks

    Are they? Wow, I had to read that bit twice, but I suppose the suggestion is that they're not too far apart in terms of tempo anyway - try establishing the tempo of both of them exactly, then you've got an idea about how much you need to adjust one against the other if the maths is too difficult (it is often for me, I prefer just to listen to it and try things and then decide).
    Have a look at using the Time Machine for starters, anyway and do a bit of research in the manual and the Software Instruments manual as well - you can do things like that with the EXS24 sampler but in a different way, you know.
