Gray Video and No Sound in Imovie

Imported video from camera came in gray with no sound. Also, red line through top of video and bottom?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Can you tell us what type of video you are trying to import.

    Question: Is all the source footage shot in 16 bit audio or is some also shot in 12 bit?

  • How to Sort or Import video and photos together in iMovie?

    This is a common request and I haven't seen a good answer.  I'm trying to import a collection of video clips and photos from a trip together to make a timeline based video/photo slideshow (just adding music and some text for fun). All the media files (from a few cameras and smartphones) are properly timestamped.  The files are even named such that in the folder on disk they can be sequentially sorted (YYYYMMDDhhmmss.mov or YYYYMMDDhhmmss.jpg).  In most Windows based movie making applications simply importing all the files together (video and photos in one big drag and drop) puts them in order into the slideshow for tweaking/editing and adding music.  But iMovie (which is what I want to use on my MAC with its great tools) doesn't let you import all the media together or easily sort all the content by source file name or timestamp (or anything as far as I can tell) once you drag all the video and photos into the project (separately since video importing and photo adding are done separately). 
    With 200+ photos and video clips it is too time consuming to manually arrange them in time order (interlacing the video clips into the photos in the proper time). 
    What can be done?  I've seen this question since around 2009 and assumed that iMovie 11 would have a simple way to just sort the project timeline.  Any help?

    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
    There are several ways to avoid disturbing an existing Timeline when you are adding to it.
    1. Using what are called keyboard modifiers, such as Ctrl or Alt (Windows).
    2. Grouping block of clips so that the clips move together
    The following video tutorial is offered for informational and not promotional reasons
    Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
    It uses a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 13, but the principles involved are the same.
    The video and audio that are going out of sync.... are they linked or grouped before the addition to the existing Timeline?
    After the fact, you will need to move the Timeline components back in place.
    If the video and audio are not linked or group, you can
    (a) highlight the clip, hold down the Alt key of the computer main
    keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 1 frame per tap nudge of the clip.
    (b) highlight the clip, hold down the Shift+Alt key of the computer main
    keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 5 frames per tap nudge of the clip.
    Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Capturing video and store data outside iMovie

    Hi,
    I would like to capture video from a Sony video outside iMovie library similar to how I captured video on PC side.  I would like to store the raw movie data outside iMovies and later import them to iMovies later.   How would I do that?
    Thanks,

    Hello-
    I need to import some video and audio form some beta tapes and am wondering if this can be done in iMovie 09? Some of the tapes are hour long documentaries that i have scored and I have read on this forum that people have run into problems when trying to capture more than 5 minutes of footage. I have also read that there have been issues capturing the audio.
    Would I have more success capturing in FCE? Picture and audio quality is paramount for me.
    Thanks!!
    You can import into iMovie '09, but you need some kind of analog-digital video converter.
    Apple sells this one: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TJ555LL/A
    but there are many other devices available. Some with less features are substantially cheaper.
    My old Firewire connected camcorders can do this conversion, but not all can, so take a look at your camcorder's manual if you do not already know.
    iMovie can take the Firewire output of your converter and capture the import directly to your disk.
    The video output quality of VCR tapes will not be as high as digital sources, but, in my experience, you will certainly lose some video quality with iMovie '09. I suggest you test a short segment captured or imported into iMovie '09. If you see video too much degradation, test with FCE. FCE will retain all the quality that your VCR tapes can offer.

  • Slow motion videos and distorted sound

    Hi, using Vista, IE9, latest verison of Flash, video goes into slo-mo after a few seconds and sound distorts. Any ideas?

    To help troubleshoot could you give us the exact version of the version of Flash that is installed?
    Flash   Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    dxdiag report instructions
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

  • How to synchronize iPhone video and microphone audio in iMovie?

    1. I have video footage captured with an iPhone 5s (roughly 7 minutes of piano).
    2. I have audio footage captured with a third-party microphone (same 7 minutes of piano playing).
    3. I bring these two pieces of footage into iMovie and line them up at the beginning of the clips.
    4. When I start playing the movie, the video and audio are in sync. Towards the end of the movie, the video and audio are out of sync by roughly 0.5 - 1 second.
    My question is how do I synchronize the iPhone and microphone footage in iMovie?
    Is this a problem with the video captured with the iPhone?
    Or is this a problem with iMovie not able to synchronize video and audio from multiple clips?
    Note: I cannot use beat markers to solve this, because the piano playing does not fall on equal durations ("beats").

    I cannot synchronize the Address Book and Calendar data, even by means of iCloud or similar servers.  It appears these data are not selected automatically during synchronization. How can one select Address Book and Calendar Book in Mavericks for synchronization ?

  • Video and app sound on mute

    My apps, videos and internet are on mute when played straight from my iphone 4S.  The sound is on when I play them through auxiliary cable.  Does anyone know how can I turn on the sound so it plays without the aux cable?

  • IPhone videos have no sound in iMovie preview

    Movies imported into iMovie '09 (8.0.6) from iPhones (4&3GS) have no sound in preview when I click the spacebar, even iPhone clips that previously had sound no longer have sound in preview. Clips taken years ago with another camera still have sound in preview. All clips play fine in Quicktime in iPhoto. Clips have sound when dragged to the 'New Project' window in iMovie '09. I've clicked on the mute feature- which shows no volume when on and clips play.
    Still have 150 GB of space on HD.

    I have the SAME exact problem...it's very annoying.

  • Video and podcast sound

    I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble with the sound on podcasts and app videos? Since I upgraded to 5.0.1 on my iPad 1 the sound isn't working for podcasts, and app tutorials. Sound works fine with Netflix videos. Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it?

    Found the answer. Just switched the side switch to mute instead of screen rotation  above the sound control under general settings. Yay!

  • Distorted video and buzzing sound on DVD playb

    Okay.. here is the problem:
    I connected the front panel of the Audigy 2 ZS platinum with an RCA cable to audio out of my DVD player, and the video out from the DVD player to the TV. The video plays okay until I plug the audio out from DVD into the I/O panel aux in, when the video gets distorted and there is a low pithed broadband buzzing kind out sound from the speakers (in addition to the sound from the DVD).
    I have winXP SP2, Toshiba progressi've DVD player.
    I don't see why that should happen. Pleae advice.
    Thanks,
    Mohit.

  • Pixelating video and bad sound

    Hello all. I work for a student radio station at Penn State. We are trying to convert a VHS recording of a TV program to a MP4 file using Final Cut Pro. We got the video captured and recorded, but it pixelates about once a second. Also, the sound crackles at almost the exact same times. Since none of us really know how to use the program, we are looking for some help on using it. Thanks in advance. If anyone has any questions for me, please ask.

    The VHS sounds fine.

  • Video and/or sound will not show in Adobe Photoshop 12 for m2ts files.

    I have just added Adobe Photoshop 12.  The m2ts videos will either:  1) not show with a black screen and have video; or 2) will show but have video for only 30 seconds.  HELP!  I've read the forums, and I've tried everything I could find as suggested.  Nothing fixes BOTH issues.  I'm ready to return product and go back to 8.0.

    Sometimes it pays to munch the video file through the Adobe Media Encoder app, even if it's going to come out in the same format as before.  This app is free and gets installed along with Captivate but you can also download it from the Adobe website.  It seems to make videos compatible with Captivate.

  • Lost special effects sounds from video and no sounds available to reload.

    the special effect audio is no longer available to insert into the video.
    one of the special effects audio I inserted is no longer playing.

    Try doing a reset on the iPhone,
    Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.
