Convert iMovie 3 to HD 6 & Mono Audio

So I just converted an iMovie 3 file copied to my working external drive into iMovie HD 6. All seemed fine until I realized I was only getting mono sound from my project. The original iMovie 3 file is in stereo when I play it on my old Mac under iMovie 3. What's going on here? Am I going to have to go back to the original files and start from scratch to use it in iMovie HD 6? BTW, I'm up-to-date on everything software wise.

no idea why this happens, but an option is ...:
you could export the audio (stereo) only from within iM3 (Quicktime/ExpertSettings, choose "aiff"); import THAT aiff into the iM6 version of that project.. switch off the audio of the video-track... done.
besides: we read lots of reports about trouble opening older projects with newer versions of an app. .. it is recommended, NOT to upgrade in the midths of a project.. allthough the ads tell us, it is possible ..
if you like to "spice up" older projects with new effects, export to tape and import into a newer version.. for sure, doing so generates the project into one, single solid clip.. no individual, editable clips...

  • How to convert mono audio to stereo during import?

    When I shoot my videos for YouTube I use an external mic which works great but when my camera records it, it is mono sound, so only the left channel of my source videos contain the talking.
    In the previous version of iMovie 9 I used to be able to export using QuickTime and convert the audio to mono so the final video which is uploaded has sound coming out of both speakers.
    Honestly I don't care what format my exported files are in, as long as they're HD and the audio is good. So the new .mp4 file format is no problem for me with iMovie 10.0.1
    In the lastest version of iMovie (10.0.1) I can't see a way to convert my mono audio to "real" mono or stereo sound (whatever it's called) so the sound comes out of both speakers. Having the talking only coming out of one speaker now makes me look like an idiot on YouTube.
    I tried a stereo/mono adapter where the mic connects to the camera but it resulted in no sound. So I'm hoping I can use an audio fix somehow using iMovie 10.0.1 to fix 'er up. What are my options guys?
    Yes I'm aware I can still use iMovie 9, which is what I've reverted back to until I can fix this problem.
    Thanks.

    For now, I think that is the best choice.
    You could also buy QuickTime Pro 7 which will allow you to do the same mono conversion that iMovie version 9 does.

  • Converted Project to CC 2014 mono audio panned.

    I've just downloaded the PPCC2014 update but it has incorrectly interpreted all my mono files in my sequence as panned-left, when in the project previously pan was ignored in the mono files.
    How can I ignore or remove panning from all the audio files in my sequence, without having to map to stereo? (Which is time-consuming and cluttered).
    Cheers,
    James

    Yes, Pluraleyes 3.
    When they originally came through from Pluraleyes there was an issue with them also, but because it was at the beginning of the project I could easily swap out each clip simply by revealing in Finder and dragging the file into the timeline from Finder. But now I have a 3 hour assemble.
    When I reveal in project, the mono audio files are not panned. So I can simply match frame and overwrite the timeline clip (thanks to PPCC2014's new Match Framing behaviour it's only a 2 key combination). But I'm not sure why the problem happened in the first place, and it would be easier if you could just remove panning, but when I go to remove effects "panning" is not one of them.

  • How to preserve multiple mono audio in Multicam sequence?

    I'm a new FCP7 -> Premiere convert and seem to be unable to preserve true multiple mono audio in a multicam source sequence.
    I have 3 video clips, each with 2 mono audio channels, interpreted correctly as multiple mono (showing as "2 Mon" in Project panel).
    When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips, Premiere Pro Cs6 is creating a sequence with a Master audio track that is stereo.  I cannot find a way to converting the stereo Master audio track to multiple mono audio track after the sequence is automatically created.  When I look in "Sequence Settings" of the multi-cam sequence, there is no "Tracks" tab that is used to set this up in a new sequence.  I have also tried switching all the preferences/audio settings to Mono with no luck.
    Note:  This problem is NOT related to enabling/disabling the additional audio tracks in the multicam sequence, I understand that only track 1 of a multi-cam sequence is enabled by default. 
    Thanks,
    Robert

    When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips
    Don't do that.  Do things "old school".  Meaning you manually create an "Original" sequence for the 3 clips, add them in and sync them up.  You then manually create a second "Multicam" sequence and nest the "Original" into that.  Right click and Enable Multicam.
    Doing it that way, you'll have the option to specify what type of audio tracks you want for each sequence.

  • Converting imovie video to mp3

    I want to make uploading a video on youtube more faster and mp4 slows the processing down what can i do?

    compared to what?
    YT accepts just a handfull of formats.. the YT-upload preset converts into the most useful - size/resolution/bitrate.
    'speed' is defined by your ISPs bandwidth ...
    You can reduce the file.size only by reducing quality = smaller resolution, lower frame rate, lower bit-rate ... is that what you want?

  • Problems with imported mono audio with stereo HD video FCE4

    This is with Final Cut Express 4.
    So here is what I am doing: I am recording video of my flight lessons inside my airplane with a mounted Panasonic HDC-TM90 HD camera.  Since it is noisy inside the plane, I am using an Olympus VN-4100PC digital voice recorder to pick up the Air Traffic Control and Intercom within the airplane (between me and my instructor) which is 22 KHZ mono.  I am doing this because I want the sound of the airplane and also the communication so everything works together and you get the best of both worlds (otherwise you would hear one or the other and that's pretty boring).  Ok, enough with the intro.
    Here is what I am having problems with -- when I get the video, stereo audio with the video and the mono audio all lined up in FCE in my timeline, it starts to get out of sync about 10 minutes or so into the film.  And it gets worse as the film goes on.  This is driving me nuts and I have NO idea out to fix it.
    The only thing I can think of is that my Digital Voice Recorder is recording at a slightly faster speed than the camera's audio and this is why it gets out of whack.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?  Or at least give me an explanation why it is happening?
    Thanks for any help!!

    Thanks for the reply.  I did this and it still doesn't seem to be matching up properly.  Tell me if maybe I missed something.
    1. I took the original .WAV file from my Digital Recorder and imported it into iTunes and then converted it into an .AIFF. 
    2. I took the .AIFF file and imported it into MPEG Streamclip and exported it as another .AIFF file that was Stereo and 48kHz. 
    Is there a step I missed?

  • Capture and Export of Mono Audio in FCP HD

    I have just upgraded to FCP HD from FCP 3. My problem is all of my audio needs to be Mono only. In v3 this was simple I just chose Mono from the capture settings and Mono for Export.
    On FCP HD I can't find any way to capture and export as Mono. When I record Voice Over in FCP all I get is the right channel and even when I set it to pan centre it still only comes out the right speaker after export.
    If I've got to manually duplicate tracks everytime it will take me forever.
    Anybody know a simple way to capture and export Mono only (the same for both Ch 1 + 2)
    G4 DP 1.25   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    This might seem the long way 'round but it may save a ton of time in the end.
    Do your FCP mix in stereo as Colin suggests, then take the final audio track into STP or Peak and do a "mix to mono" and then save a new AIFF file with the resulting mono clip.
    Then bring that back into FCP on a new audio track, line it up with the stereo, then either disable or delete the stereo tracks. This will give you a true mono audio track.
    But where are you going with this content that will handle mono audio? DVDs require a stereo AC3 files. Are you sure you really need a mono sound track?

  • Why can't I import an AAF sequence that references a single clip of mono audio ?

    I have an AAF file that defines a sequence which contains a single clip of mono audio. When I try to import this into Premiere Pro I get an error telling me that it is unable to reference a file  containing more than 2 audio streams. I'm assuming that a stream is synonymous with a channel which may be a mistake. If it is, then, as my audio is mono, it seems unlikely that I have more than 2 streams. I have checked what is in the AAF and the only part of it that has more than 1 channel is the 'Tape' mob. Is it possible that the import is failing because of this ?

    I had this problem also, only the .m4v files could not be imported either! The strange thing was I was able to do this task with other home vids in the past without issue. I simply shut everything down and rebooted at this point as a last dithch effort to avoid a trip to the Apple store and then it worked - itunes was able to accept the import.

  • Mono audio combined with lightning line out audio issue

    Hello, there! I am a single-side hearing person, so to enjoy musics mono audio is important to me. Since I use iPod touch 5 and ios 7, and connected it to a dac or amp through its lightning line out, I hear crackling sound, especially in the mids or vocals. The crackles are gone when the "mono audio" off. No problem when hearing through the 3.5 jack, w/ "mono audio" on. I do not know whether this issue was exist w/ ios 6, since I updated to ios 7 at once after I bought it. But, w/ my 4th gen touch and ios 6, there was no issue like this at all. So, is there anyone else could confirm this issue? Apple, would you please address this issue in the next u update? Thank you for any attention.

    You are not addressing Apple here. We are all just users like yourself. To tell Apple go here:

  • How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

    I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer.  I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
    We use adobe premiere pro 4.  We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels.  When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us.  When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel.  Also useless. 
    When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down. 
    this is the problem.  Each of our  4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue.  When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language. 
    Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels?  How do you do it?
    Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

    Hi Steve,
    Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
    Thanks

  • Mono Audio signal: adjustment of the balance not possible

    Dear all,
    according to the IOS 5.0 User Guide, "Mono Audio" can be used to combine the left and right stereo channels into a mono signal played through both channels which works as expected.
    In addition it should be possible to adjust the balance of the mono(!) signal for greater volume on the right or left. This would be very beneficial for me and others with a hearing loss at one ear, but doesn't work on my iPhone 4 as expected. It seems, that the balance setting is only effective in the 'Stereo' mode.
    Any suggestions on how I can get this feature working on my iPhone  are highly welcome.
    Thanks,
                    Thomas

  • How can I convert imovie into photo's

    How can I convert imovie into photo's

    For iMovie 11, you will need to download a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. (Google it). This is a very handy tool to have if you make videos.
    In iMovie, select the clip that contains the frame that you want. Right-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder.
    You should see the clip highlighted in the Finder. Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip. Move the playhead to the frame you want. Then click FILE/EXPORT FRAME. You can choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG.
