Can't import audio in AE 7.0

After Effects Freezes up when I try to import an .mp3 file (I've tried multiple) ASlso I noticed that when I try to import audio, it tries to import it as a footage item, and there's no option to change it to just audio. Thanks all

>it tries to import it as a footage item, and there's no option to
>change it to just audio
Which is correct. Audio files are AV items. What operating system are you on and where do those MP3s come from? Perhaps they are DRM-protected, have variable bit rates or are surround, al lof which may prevent AE from importing them 'cos it doesn't support those features. Generally you should not use MP3s in AE, but convert them to PCM (WAV or AIFF) files.

Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play. Also, I cant play audio CDs using iTunes. CDs do play using Windows Media Player. The DVD/CD drive seems to work fine in all other applications.
I have tried the "device filter" regedit fix, but no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

JohnAndKel,
That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
(Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

The audio file is not recognized by Logic. Can't import audio files?

Hi,
The audio files are on my desktop. Logic 9.1.1 will not recognize them and gives me this message when I try to drag and drop OR Import Audio File OR use Audio Bin.
As far as I know, I am using wave files (extension .wav). So what could be the problem. Here's a picture of how the files look on my desktop.
The regular silver and blue iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
The black iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
Importantly, the black iTunes (only 2 out of the 18 audio files) are the ones that actually import. Does it have something to do with the fact that it shows under "More Info > Audio Channels 1" vs. the silver and blue iTunes .wav files (which do NOT have this)?
Furthermore, here is the process I used to get the audio files in the first place. On my PC, I exported audio files from my Ableton Live project onto a thumbdrive. I copied the audio files from my thumbdrive to my Mac. Maybe this had something to do with it.
Also, as you can see, under Sharing and Permissions > there is only "read and write" for all names, so it's not a permissions thing.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
+Can you play them as Preview (select in Finder, hit spacebar)?+ No. The black iTunes icons play with no sound and the silver and blue iTunes icons do not even come up in Preview at all.
+Will iTunes play them?+ Only the black iTunes files (2 out of the 18). When I click on a silver and blue icon'd file, it will not even open in iTunes.
why on the desktop? it was just a temporary thing. I was not able to pull them into my Audio Bin. I tried what you suggested. I put the files in the Audio Files folder of my project. When I go to open them from within Logic by Import Audio File, they are visible but greyed out. I don't use the desktop except for testing stuff like you do.
+How was the thumb drive formatted? FAT32 or other DOS-format, or Mac OS Extended (HFS)?
+the extension is not where apps look to recognize an audio file format, it is the header data. Some audio programs can read RAW audio files, but more about that after your reply to this one.+ It is formatted MS-DOS (FAT 32).
(*I wrote all this stuff above while I was working and waiting for the PC to write to my thumbdrive again*******finally I got everything to show up.
I loaded the files again from the thumbdrive. This time they were all in the black iTunes format, and I put them directly in the Audio Files folder like you suggested. After some doing everything works fine. Weird.
Thanks!

Can I import audio into a clip, replacing existing audio?

I want to import audio from footage I've shot and use it to replace existing audio in a movie. Can that be done?

According to HT4622 you can copy audio into GarageBand from an app that supports copying audio to the clipboard. Once in GarageBand it would possible to make edits such as trimming or removing/repeating segments. You could then "share" the resulting song via email.
What kind of recording are we talking about? GarageBand has a maximum song length of 32 minutes (320 bars at 40bpm) which may affect its suitability for your project.

Can we import audio into GarageBand?

I'd like to import an MP3 (or any supported format) into a Garageband track.
Can it be done?

I know this thread was last posted some time ago, but since this still comes up on the google results when asking this question, I thought I'd post the solution here as well:
You CAN import audio into GarageBand on the iPad, though you need a computer to do it. Open iTunes on your Mac or Windows machine, connect the iPad. Open the iPad up, at the top of the screen should be a tab for "Apps". Go there, then scroll down. You should see a list of apps that can share information with a computer (on mine I only have three, GarageBand, Kindle, and Clean Writer). Click on GarageBand and you'll have a chance to add files to the list. Once you've selected the files from your hard drive (i've only tried mp3 files so far), click apply.
When you go into garageband on the iPad, you can create a new track in the multi-track view, tap on the "loops" icon, tap "Audio Files" and you should see all the files you copied over from your PC or Mac. You can then drag them into the timeline. Now you can play along with your own audio.
Here's a video someone else made of the process:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X80kB4f8O4
I just wish the iPad version of garageband had some more effects. I like to practice with my iPad and my electric bass, and on the PC I can use EQ to "remove" the bass from the original song and playback with my recordings. No EQ on the iPad makes this a bit more difficult. Still a gret product, though.

Can't import audio files into Logic Pro

I have some original compositions previously recorded on a Windows PC that I want to work on in Logic Pro. However, despite converting them to .raw, mp3, apple tiff and having the original file as. Wav, Logic Pro doesn’t recognise them; they’re all greyed out when I try to import or open, even though they play ok in I-tunes? How can I resolve this?

.raw is not recognized by Apple. What format is this? Is this an audio file format?
.mp3... well, if you like that kind of degraded sound...
.tiff is an IMAGE file format. Whatever made you think this would work?
I think you have renamed the file extensions one too many times...and the Apple machine is confused. Try starting over.
Also, try to look at the info pane for each file, and make SURE it is seen as a .wav file AND that the file is set to read / write, not locked.

I put them on an external drive as protection and another file in the pc and except the two projects, when Premiere me not recognize the files try to bring them to the external disk, some occasions works, another only brings the video without audio and most of the occasions not recognize any file, so it's double work and perdidad time, and technicians Premiere in an occasion made a partition the hard disk of the PC for it to work, but only work well for a few days, as the machine will re start the same thing happens again ... now the premier technical atman only to tell me that specialized agents atenderan me, but it never happened, because I hang chat .... and tel is the same .. .but when charging if they are very punctual, I pay them for service suite.asi that they no longer do and made the comment pirates users because it's true ... they do not struggle with their cracks, I am Premier User pirate ever paying for more than 10 years ago, but since started membership, this has been an ongoing problem.

Can't import audio from clip into Premiere Pro CC.

I can export a clip, with audio, from Premiere Pro, but when I import it back into PP the audio track is missing. I noticed that when I delete the .xmp file from the file folder the audio will import with the clip successfully. Can someone please instruct me as to how I can edit the .xmp file so as to correct this problem? Thanks.

I export a clip using the "match sequence settings".
Mmm, don't ever use that. It's for people who don't know what they're doing, and often causes more problems that it solves.
Better to know what you're doing and set up your export manually. Try that, then report back what happens.

Can I import audio from a DVD to iTunes?

My iMac is Yosemite 10.10.1 and my iTunes is 12.0.1.26.
I have a DVD (purchased) that I want to copy the audio only to iTunes. Can anyone tell me how?

Just about all commercial DVDs use special copy protection. It is illegal to rip these DVDs, and you can't rip just audio.

GarageBand 4.1.2 - can't import audio?

My Mom is trying to get some of her music into GarageBand. I created a standard audio track in GarageBand. I popped her audio files into iTunes. I went to the Media Browser, found the files in iTunes (they are standard AIF files) and ...
I can't drag them into GarageBand. They won't go. There is a quick background pop-up that looks like something is being loaded in, but nothing appears in the track (and the pop-up happens too fast to represent the size of the file). These are long files - 18 minutes, & 1 hr. I can't remember length ever being an issue in GarageBand though.
I use Logic. This is all Greek to me. And I don't quite get the Logic of GarageBand (designed I know, from pinched parts of Logic).
Is there something I am missing here?
All ears,
Ben

It might be a PPC application. You may need the optional Rosetta install.

Can't import audio from .mov into iMovie 10.0.3

When importing a .mov file with sound into iMovie 10.0.3, the audio does not import with the video. I have no sound. The file plays and sounds fine on the desktop. What am I doing wrong?
Macbook Pro, OSX 10.9.3. 16G Ram, 768GB SSHD 2.7GHz Intel Core i7

Hello John,
Check out the first article for some troubleshooting steps to see if anything is preventing the audio from playing properly. Also try using QuickTime to convert the video in a different format and then import it into iMovie to see if that changes things.

Can't import audio files in FCP after snow leopard update

i've recently updated to snow leopard. and i'm running Final Cut Pro 6.0.6
i opened a .fcp project i created a long time ago. i tried to import a .aif file and final cut crashes. i converted the .aif file to a .mp3 file. tried to import it, and final cut crashed.
i then went and deleted the preference files for final cut pro, reopened final cut, tried importing both files again, it still crashes.
does anyone have a legitimate answer for why this is happening?

BenB wrote:
1st, FCP does not officially support MP3 audio files, so don't even use them. I'm running FCP 7 on Snow Leopard, no problems with audio files.
1- How are you encoding them? What software is creating these files?
2- Are you running on an external FW800 drive?
3- How much RAM are you running?
And as my final observation is, NEVER run Final Cut Pro 6 on Snow Leopard! Huge no-no! If you upgrade to Snow Leopard, only use FCS3. I've updated lots of systems for my students and clients, and I've seen lots of FCP6 on SL problems.
Message was edited by: BenB
I agree that you shouldn't use MP3 files with FCP, the manual tells you that somewhere If I recall properly, but it shouldn't cause Final Cut to crash, at least that has never been my experience, it has just caused a skipping problem, or not playing the complete song.
I don't really understand wht a FW800 drive or the amount of RAM have to do with it, it would sure be interesting to hear your comments on that.
However, in all due respect, to make the statement that one should NEVER run Final Cut Pro 6 on Snow Leopard seems pretty "out there" would you be so kind as to provide your rationale for such a drastic statement as that. Has there been anything official from Apple along those lines?

How can I import audio books from a CD into itunes 10.54.1.2 to then use on my ipad or iphone.

I cannot seem to get the books/chapters to go into anything but the music category. Then just plays as music does. Anyone know if it is possible to import into the books category ?

Thanks again for responding.
I had set iPhoto to Automatically Look up Places (see my original post). I tried Old Toad's suggestion, and the data was there for some of the photos but not all. I THINK I just missed the GPS icon in the camera's display (brand new camera & my first with GPS). I have been able to import the GPS Data on my most recent photos, but as they're all taken at home I'm going to test that over the long weekend. But my best guess is that I just hadn't grabbed a GPS signal yet.
