Gaps in audio when importing clips?

When I try to import clips from my camcorder to imovie, quite often it happens there are little gaps with no sound (easy to hear, and visible in audio wave as gaps as well).
When I connect the camcorder to the TV set, then the sound is fine, thus assume it cannot be a mistake in recording.
I've also exchanged the firewire cord, still the problem continues...
Would be extremely grateful for any help...

Hello BCRC,
What make / model computer are you using?
What operating system?
What program are you using to burn the DVD's and CDs?
By gaps are you meaning that there is a gap from one track to the next and you are looking to burn gapless discs, or are you referring to the audio actually skipping parts of the audio when burning?

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • When importing clips to iMovie11 the audio is missing. I have been able to successfully to this in the past and all of the sudden it is not working. Any help to solve the problem would be appreciated.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.

  • Huge file size when importing clips

    When importing clips from my Sony Handycam (HDR TG3E) in HD 1920 X 1080 the file sizes get extremely large. A 10 minute clip results in a filesize (.mov) of approx 8 GB. Is this really meant to be? I use iMovie '08 v. 7.1.4.
    Would appreciate any help in adjusting the software or hardware preferences resulting in smaller files.

    for editing HiDEf, it gets automtically converted into some 'intermediate' codec, which has ~40-60GBs/h.
    on export, these files will get 'shrunk' again..

  • No audio when importing AVCHD into FCP X?  Simple solution.

    After hours of trial and error and several phone calls to support, I figured out why my AVCHD footage (MTS files from a Canon vixia HF S100)  had no audio when importing into FCPX.  The solution was to simply uncheck the box - "Remove silent channels" - under Audio in the pop-up import window .  That did the trick. 
    I had tried  importing from a card reader, the camera and from an external hard drive and then tried 2 converter programs (MPEG streamclick and   Wondershare Video Conerter Ultimate.)
    Final Cut Pro X
    OS X 10.8.2

    It's usually something simple that can catch the best of us.

  • No audio when importing footage under capture

    When I'm importing footage from my camcorder into FCE there is audio in the caputure window & no levels on my audio meters. The camcorder I'm using is a ZR500 Mini DV using to import.
    These are the steps I have done: File -> Easy Setup then Format: -> (all formats)
    after that Use: DV-NTSC Firewire Basic.
    Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
    FCE 4?

    Welcome aboard idw3,
    Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
    FCE 4?
    That's normal for FCE. All versions have been the same. If you need to hear the audio use the cameras headphone socket if it has one.
    All audio can be adjusted in the Timeline during editing as required.

  • Audio missing when importing clips

    Hi, importing clips from my Sony handycam, no audio is available. Even opening the single clip file with Quicktime, no audio. Don't think it's the camera, as long as I tried with another similar model and the same problem occurs.

    Hi all, just updating iMovie to 9.0.7 version the issue was fixed.
    Thx all

  • AE CS3 - Audio on imported clip - no audio when previewing (RAM), scrubbing (CMD scrub) or exporting

    Hi There,
    We have a clip that plays audio in Quicktime and when double clicking the clip from the project tab inside AE.
    But when it's dropped into the timeline, the clip doesn't play any audio - when doing a RAM preview, playing audio (period key on keypad) or Command dragging the time thumb.
    When we expand the layer on the timeline, it doesn't show a waveform - we see the little speaker icon on the layer and the RAM preview is set to hear audio.
    If it plays in Quicktime it should play in AE right - maybe not?
    This is what Quicktime says the format is:
    Apple Motion JPEG A, 720 x 486, Millions
    24-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    29.90 FPS
    720 x 486 pixels (Actual)
    Obvisouly we're missing something basic - any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    24-bit Integer,
    Where everything fails... AE just doesn't like anything beyond 16bit audio or at least it is being rather particular about where these files come from....

  • No audio on import clips

    Using iMovie 6.0.3 on my new Power Mac. Importing via firewire from Canon ZR500. No audio when I play imported clips. I can see audio wave after extracting. Speakers turned on. I can hear the audio sound affects and iTunes songs from the iMovie browser, but they don't play once placed in timeline.
    What is up??
    Using same camera I have no problem on my iBook G4

    I think it is called " Video Play Through Camera ", Karsten.
    Language barrier, I think.
    no, it's called...
    "Video eines DV-Projekts auf DV-Kamera anzeigen"
    .. to be korrekt...
    thanks, Sue, for correction.. indeed, I toggle between English and German interface, just to post here the correct terms.. I was sure, I remember right.. nope.. where are my pills...? the red ones.. are for the brain...

  • Help urgently needed: bizarre problem - no audio in imported clip!

    Hey there!
    I have a bizarre - never the less urgent problem:
    When I import some material (presentations) which I have recorded on Mini DV with my Canon MVX10i Camcorder the following problem occurs:
    There is one particular presentation which somehow looses the audio during the import process!
    That means the imported clip has no audio even though the audfio is on tape! Other clips before and after do not have this problem - the audio is available after the import.
    A bizarre but serious problem for me. Any suggestions?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Thorge

    I had a similar problem. When I started the tape from the beginning no audio would import. To solve it I started the tape a few seconds in and It seemed to work.
    Hope this helps.

  • No Audio When Importing MOV into LifeType

    Hi
    I'm new to FCE and I was importing a mov file into life type. However, there was no audio when I tried playing the file. I am able to see the visual and the live fonts effects but somehow the audio is missing.
    Did I miss something ? Is this the right approach for creating a movie with LiveType effects ?
    Jojos
    P.S: The mov itself has audio when played via Quicktime.

    if I may ask for the steps I would be doing the following ?
    1. Create the titling effect in LiveType
    2. Export it to a quicktime movie
    3. Open FCE4 and superimpose it into my main movie clip
    4. Generate it as movie
    In step 2, do I render a movie or generate it as a quicktime movie? May I know what's the difference and which offers a better quality ?
    Appreciate your reply.

  • CS4 - no audio when importing an avi or mpeg

    Hello I am trying to figure out why there is no audio when I import an avi created with Fraps. The audio is in the avi made from Fraps but when I import it to premiere pro CS4 - there is no audio during playback. I checked all the audio hardware settings, I dont know what else to do.

    While not particularly FRAPS, this ARTICLE will give you some pointers on other video-capture programs.
    As John points out, there are several FRAPS threads to draw from too.
    Good luck,

  • No Audio when Importing?

    Can anyone let me know if there's a way of getting the audio to work when importing... it always used to work before in previous versions of iMovie... is there some setting I am doing wrong... whether it's on Manual or Automatic... the footage imports silent.
    Any comments most welcome.
    Regards,
    Anthony

    Because I was using an old camera (without firewire) I had to capture with my PC using DVD Director Pro. That works great, thanks<<</div>
    You have no DV device for working with FCP? No camcorder, deck or converter? If you do, connect the analog outs of the old playback device to the analog inputs of your DV device, then connect a Firewire cable from the DV device to your Mac. Set FCP's capture control to "Non-Controllable Device" and hit Capture Now. This method works fine for everyone I know for capturing virtually any analog format (VHS, 8mm/Hi8, BetaMax, 3/4", etc). You'll have much better quality than going to MPEG first, and if you have a TBC lying around to run the analog signal through, you can get some rock-stable footage.
