Crashing after adding audio clips

So I have had to rebuild my 50 minute vacation movie 3 times now due to the files become corrupt after adding audio clips.  The audio clips are legit and not just downloaded from a random site.  Happens with different songs not just particular ones.

Here is a good tutorial for how audio works. In your case, you want to drag and drop the music track on top of one of your video clips at the frame where you want the music to begin.

  • IMovie crashes when adding audio clip

    I am in the middle of creating a movie, everything has been going very smoothly and then suddenly iMovie started crashing whenever I try to add a sound clip to a slide.
    The audio clip does initially appear to be added, but then iMovie hangs and I have to force quit.
    Any ideas on why this would suddenly start occuring when everything was working fine up 'til now?

    I hope you don't mind my jumping in and adding to the muddied waters, but I am also having trouble with iMovie transitions. I just bought the MacBook Pro - 200 gig hard drive with boosted RAM. I have experienced the following problems:
    1. After reading Karl's caution about iMovie trash, I don't empty the trash until the project is completed, so that's not the issue.
    2. And this is what's odd . . . I just put one movie together and had not a single glitch. I pulled stills in using Ken Burns, was able to go back and edit the clips, change transitions, etc.
    3. I have another movie that I have been working on and it was going fine UNTIL I added the first transition. After that, whenever I select a clip I get a black screen and have to reimport the photo to see it.
    4. When I try and add transitions, sometimes they work, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the system crashes, and sometimes it looks like it is going to render, but the rendering line never progresses.
    5. I have tried deleting the plist files for both iMovie and iPhoto, and repairing permissions, but it doesn't work.
    6. No security features are turned on.
    7. I do have slick transitions, but as I said, they worked fine in the first movie (where trash was never emptied.)
    This is making me crazy and is far too time consuming. Karl, any thoughts?
    Thanks so much.

  • Video choppy after adding audio

    This is my fourth year creating a basketball highlight video for the local high school and I have a new problem I haven't been able to solve. I've imported clips from the past 5 games using iMovie HD and everything worked great. I recently added a song for background music (same thing I've done previous years) and now when I play the video it is real choppy. The audio plays fine.
    I've seen previous posts regarding this topic suggesting exporting the video with sound track and re-importing. I can't do this because I'll have to go back later to shorten or lengthen clips depending on how the rest of the season goes. I also read you can solve it going back a version in QuickTime, but I can't do that with 10.4. I have playback set to Standard under preferences. I'm using an external firewire drive with 30gb available. iMovie is stored on my internal drive. I've ran all the recommended maintenance on my mac. Does anyone have other suggestions?

    Same problem here. Do you have a lot of audio clips? I'm working on a project with around 40 audio clips, and I find that if I delete half of them (no matter which half), the choppy video is gone. Very frustrating, and I hope there's an answer soon which doesn't require buying a new computer.

  • Captivate 5.5 Software simulation video crashes when adding audio recording

    I run Windows 7 and Adobe captivate crashes after trying to start a audio recording in software simulation. My simulation is ready and the moment, I click the "record audio" button, the application freezes and I have to go to end the application via Task Manager.
    Solution approaches:
    I have started Captivate as administrator and that didn't help.
    I have then tried to look up my preferences but didn't find any files which i could identify as preferences.
    I have already tried the solution in the Note below (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/759455)
    Help please.
    Thanks,
    A

    I am having similar issues, but with the internal speach generator. I have both simulation and demonstration videos. I was able to enter text and convert to Paul's voice without issue, but the minute I tried to add closed captions Captivate totally locked up. And now when I try to do any sort of audio edit, no matter which method of access to the audio (using Audio - Audio Management or Audio - Speech Management or the Add/Edit Audio buttons in the Properties window or using the Closed Caption button in the Slide Notes tab or double click the audio wave file in the Timeline tab) Captivate totally locks up. I was originally able to create 1 file with closed captions but now it also locks up when I try to edit and no other file will let me add CC or use the Audio edit features.
    Captivate 5.5, Windows 7; run captivate as admin or not - no difference. Run captivate on my primary or secondary monitor - no difference; run captivate with or without other applications open - no difference.
    When I force close using Task Manager I did get a CpDump file that was created. Not sure what to do with that...I submitted a bug but have heard nothing back.
    I did follow the steps in the earlier referenced link about deleting the preferences. I also did not find a specific file/folder labeled preferences but my IT group said it was OK to delete the entire final folder in the referenced chain (Captivate 5). Once I did that, I had access to my Closed Captions again and could edit the audio.

  • Adding audio clips

    I am having trouble adding audio tracks to my iMovie.  Three songs are already added to the movie.  When I try to add additional songs to the background area, the clips go to the beginning of the movie, overlapping existing songs.  Is there any easy way to get the clip to add at the end?  I've tried grabbing and moving the song from the front, but it causes two problems: (1) it pins the music, and (2) it moves the existing music.

    Here is a good tutorial for how audio works. In your case, you want to drag and drop the music track on top of one of your video clips at the frame where you want the music to begin.

  • Adding audio clips in 30 second intervals

    Hello,
    I'm new to Adobe Premiere Elements and I'm glad to have found a forum with folks who have such extensive experience and knowledge about Adobe!  My situation...I would like to add audio clips ("beep") every 30 seconds to a video. (I want to collect data from the video.)
    What is the best (and easiest) way to do this?  
    Thank you in advance for your help!!
    mlv

    One can add a Marker by tapping the * key on the numeric keypad. You could do this every 30 sec. (you can drag any about, if you miss the cue). Then, I'd use a "beep" SFX file, and place one at each of these Markers. If you have an SFX file that has any pre-roll in it, first thing that I'd do is alter it in Audacity, or any sound editing program, so that the actual "beep" comes at the very beginning of the Clip, and do a Save_As, then Import that edited SFX file.
    Here is a list of possible sources for SFX (and music) files. Many are free, and some are for sale:

  • After adding audio to slide show, can we...

    With the help of posts from this forum I got the audio up and running on a couple slide shows. I'd like refine a couple things, so has anybody done any of the following:
    1) Can the pictures in the slide show fade in and fade out for better picture to picture transitions?
    2) Can the play/pause button for the audio be changed? I'd like to add volume and maybe a percent indicator while the audio is loading.
    3) Could the slide show start AFTER the audio is loaded? By the time the audio starts the slide show is usually on the 2nd slide.
    4) Sometimes the audio will not loop. I think this depends on how the slide show window was closed. If the same page is reloaded again, the audio usually doesn't loop. Is there a way to re-initialize the slide show audio to guarantee it will loop each time.
    5) Will the audio work if the end-user doesn't have quicktime on the computer?
    I've been using this section of the website for beta testing -

    It can be done, but you are asking for entirely different slideshow
    With the help of posts from this forum I got the
    audio up and running on a couple slide shows. I'd
    like refine a couple things, so has anybody done any
    of the following:
    1) Can the pictures in the slide show fade in and
    fade out for better picture to picture transitions?
    Yes, but you will have to do extra works with javascript. There is a transition variable in slideshow javascript, but there is no control over the slide duration (it's fixed and there is now way to change it). This can cause some strange effects.
    2) Can the play/pause button for the audio be
    changed? I'd like to add volume and maybe a percent
    indicator while the audio is loading.
    Yes, change one of the arguments in QT_WriteOBJECT:
    QTWriteOBJECT('SF_Soundtrack1.mov', '34', '16', '',
    3) Could the slide show start AFTER the audio is
    loaded? By the time the audio starts the slide show
    is usually on the 2nd slide.
    You can put a delay time to call QT_WriteOBJECT function, once again javascripts.
    4) Sometimes the audio will not loop. I think this
    depends on how the slide show window was closed. If
    the same page is reloaded again, the audio usually
    doesn't loop. Is there a way to re-initialize the
    slide show audio to guarantee it will loop each
    time.
    5) Will the audio work if the end-user doesn't have
    quicktime on the computer?
    QT is preloaded in a mac, but not so for pcs; so QT needs to be installed on a pc.

  • After Effets, audio clip won't play in multiple comps

    Hello,  I am currently working within AE CS3 and am experiencing a problem.
    I edited an audio clip within AE and pre-composed those 4 Layers.
    When I copy and paste a section of this audio pre-comp into a nother comp (in order to sync animations to audio only using the section of audio that is relevent to the section I'm animating) it shows up in the layers panel but is "greyed out" in the timeline and will not play.
    However if I copy and paste the audio pre-comp in its entirety, it plays with out a problem.
    This means that I'm having to reedit the audio pre-comp to time up with the "Main" comp
    everytime I bring it into a new comp.
    I know there's a solution but I've been strugeling fruitlessly to discover it.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I don't quite follow. Unless you "chopped it up" by splitting the layers or pre-comp, there is no way to just paste sections - you always copy&paste the entire layer(s). when you do, it is no different than with any other layer - copy&paste retains the temporal alignment of the selections relative to the current time indicator (CTI). So if your time is different between comps, the pasted content will be inserted at different times, which could mean that content ends up outside the comp duration and you only see "empty" tracks. So by all means make sure to correctly sync the times of the comps.

  • FCE crashes after validating audio data

    I have just started using FCE and I'm having a problem with it craahing. I am capturing from a DV tape that was recorded in 12bit audio. I got the audio synch warning message a few times and, after reading the manual, realized that I needed to change the NTSC setting in Easy Setup to NTSC 32kHz for 12 bit audio, which I did.
    I used the Capture Now button and pressd the Esc key to stop the capture. If the clip I capture is several minutes long I get a small window titled "Analyzing DV Audio" and the text in the window says "Validating Audio Data". This window remains in view for a minute or more and then FCE crashes. I have tried this several times and get the same result. I tried repairing permissions and rebooting and still it crashes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your suggestion. I trashed all the prefs and tried capturing the same footage again and experienced another crash. I then moved to another section of the tape and tried again and it worked without crashing. I also captured footage from another tape without a problem. I suspect that particular section of tape is somehow corrupted and was causing the crash. I was able to take this section of tape into iMovie without a problem. I guess I'll bring it into FCE from iMovie.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Is there a fix for CS6 Photoshop crash when adding audio track?

    I tried posting this problem yesterday, but have gotten no response:
    I'm video editing using Photoshop CS6 (NOT Premiere! NOT CC) and I'm consistently experiencing an application crash (i.e. quit) within a second of selecting/loading an audio track to my edited video. My video is about 3min long in 1080p and I'm running OSX Yosemity on a 13" MacPro Retina w/16GB internal memory. Is there a fix (or even a known cause) for this problem?
    Since my original post I've tried using a smaller video format (i.e. 720p) and shorter length(i.e. 40 sec), but to no avail. Photoshop CS6 still quit immediately after loading an audio track and fail to save.
    Other info I can add: Yosemite 10.10.2, Photoshop CS6 13.0 x64

    Use a proper video application.

  • Iphone 4s crashing after adding starbucks freebees

    I am having a problem with my iphone 4s. After I bought it in December I added a couple of the free things from starbucks to my itunes and did a sync. After this my hone kept crashing. No aplication would work, I couldn't turn it off and most anoyingly of all my alarm didn't go off! So I took it to the apple store and they told me to do a factory reset and reload everything without doing it from a back up. This worked . However, I have just added another bunch of the starbucks things and it has hapened again. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there anyway I can add the starbucks freebees without having to reload my phone every time?

    Just base of your title.  Basic troubleshootings steps are: restart, reset, restore from backup and then as new.

  • IPhoto 6 consistently crashes after adding smart albums

    Due to which I am attributing my problem to human error.
    My error.
    My problem is this.
    I take a lot of pictures for work and would like to use smart albums to seperate my photos. I've tried to set them up so that one would contain all the ones for all the stores I'm involved with. Then four others that will separate those pictures into the specific store.
    They were working just fine. Then today I added the last two for the individual stores and the program keeps crashing. I've started with a fresh library and reimported twice (a pain to figure which photos I've adjusted and manipulated and the originals) and everything seemed okay.
    But after I add the smart albums and quit the app, it won't reopen.

    Ian:
    Are those the real titles of your smart albums? If not are you using any special characters in them?
