Help, No Audio to Small Clips

I've imported small clips of video from my Cybershot Camera.
I've tried to do import them which works but no audio comes with the video.
The video clip i imported works great and when i click on it when i'm in 'media''photos' the sound apears.
Do i need a better version, like get that 1,000 dollar program -- Final Cut.
Or what?

Hi Zoey Bros:
iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips (and that's what you're trying to do) Go to Dan's site (below) for help:

Help Syncing audio clips from a double camra system

I am editing a short film in which everything was shot with 2 HVX cameras. I imported all the footage and labeled it with no problem.
Is it possible to link audio from other clips to different piece of video. What is the most efficient way of doing this?

the only way Ican think of doing this is kin dof dirty but it would be to create seperate movie files created from sequences where you would frankenstien the media how you want it. Really though, the best way of handling multi camera sync issue without using multiclip is to put the clips on a timeline and match them vertically.
Find a sync point like a sharp sound or video that can be distinguished between the two cameras and do your back and forth cutting that way.
Short answer, no there is no way of 'linking' audio from one source to another without creating it as it's own movie file.

Added a song to a movie in imovie and lost all audio across all clips. Any help?

I added a song to a movie in imovie and lost all audio from several clips. Removed the song and audio is still gone. How can I regain original audio once lost after adding song to imovie?

The audio should still be there. Select a clip and open the Inspector to the Audio Tab and turn the volume up to 100%.

Audio tracks are clipped after export to Quicktime

I have a small (16 slides) keynote file that runs perfectly in Keynote.
I have individual voice audio files for each slide as well as a seperate "master" soundtrack running in the background.
When I export to QT the individual voice audio track is clipped off at various times on each slide. The slide's other transitions continue to run with the background music playing just fine. The next slide begins as expected, playing all sound files, until the individual voice audio file is cut off again.
Exporting at different resolutions seems to produce the same frustrating results.
The background music is a QT movie file. The voice-over is an Mp3.
Thanks for your help.

Doesnt solve the problem. the soundtrack is synced at first but then is progressively, increasingly out of sync. A couple of seconds late on a 7-minute film.

Audio dropout one clip only

I created a movie in iMovie 6.0.3 (project size approx. 3GB) and shared it with iDVD to burn a DVD. Very little extra added in iDVD for Theme, etc. so it should have been well within size limits of standard DVD-R. (I have successfully burned DVDs in iDVD for similar projects with the same brand of DVD-R media previously with no problems). The movie played with no audio loss in iMovie and on the iDVD preview.
I do have music running under the clips, and the only difference on the clip with audio loss on the DVD is that I had to extract the audio from the clip in iMovie to make an edit work.
On that clip of the movie when viewed in iMovie's timeline view I have my video visible on the top line with my extracted audio (from the video clip)on the middle line and my music on the bottom line.
When I burned the DVD and tried to play it back on my TV the audio was fine until the last clip of the movie -- where there was no sound at all. I tried importing from the Media pane in iDVD rather than sharing from iMovie with the same bad result after burning the DVD.
I have checked the forum, and while there are many similar issues no one seemed to have this exact problem. I did print out the linked article re: Updating iDVD to 6.0.1( I currently have version 6.0.3) and deleting encoded assets (I had plenty of space available on my hard drive) -- it didn't seem to apply to my problem, if I'm understanding those two issues.
I will try the Disk Utility fix, but I'm trying to make a deadline and have never created a DVD that way before.
Any ideas how to burn the DVD -- preferably with the iDVD theme and button menu if possible, but most importantly with the least loss of video and sound quality.

Thank you for the helpful response. I was able to deliver the DVD on time with a workaround.
Once that was done, I tried playing the DVDs I created originally on my friend's DVD player and they played perfectly!!!
Any suggestions out there -- other than I need a new DVD player
is there any way to confirm a DVD burned in iDVD will play on the majority of DVD players before I send it out as a finished project?

Extracting audio from many clips at a time

I have to extract some audio from many many video clips, so I was attempting to do it in one step, but Logic extract only from one clip at a time
So I'm thinking to use Audio Converter (it can extract audio from many clips in one step), but it ask me the AIFF encoding Bitrate (among 64 and 192 kbps). So I'm wondering... but Logic which AIFF bitrate manages???

yes, it is possible. Infact, it is the normal practice to add those 10 roles to that single user in SU01 direclty.
and as I said, user comparison should be scheduled normally in SAP system landscape to do the things automatically, however not immediately but after some time.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/52/6714a9439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
If you want user comparison immediately, then you need to do it manually in the role.

Disturbed Audio with long clips and speed changes.

Hello,
I experienced a strange problem in FinalCut Pro (v 6 and 7).
-I capture a clip with a Blackmagic Decklink or a DVS Pronto as Uncompressed Quicktime, 720p50 via HD-SDI with embedded audio. The clip is about 10 minutes long.
-I speed down the clip at 36% by changing the clip's speed in the sequence.
When I render the audio track, I get completely distorted audio after some minutes until the clip's end.
The problem doesn't seem to occur when I put the clip in a sequence and nest that sequence into a second one and change the nested sequence's speed.
Is that a known bug? Did anyone out there experience the same problem? Is there any technical explanation and solution?

Both Picture Safe and Title Safe are guidelines. They were developed to ensure that titles and pictures placed within these guides would be viewable on most televisions.
In the same way that no two tv's will look the same with regard to colour, there can also be a great difference in overall picture placement on the screen. Keeping titles within the safe area will help ensure that even the most poorly calibrated set will still show the entire title.
You can't convert the MP4s because you do not own the right to use them.
As for the MP3's, time to do some work and look it up. The Search function here is a great resource.

How to only use a small clip of a song in imovie

how do I only use a small clip of a song in imovie?

there's two sorts of applying audio to an iMovie Project:
• as general 'background'
• or as 'clip'
have a look here:
I dragged the audio ONTO some existing video-clip in my Project => the new audio appears as a green bar - which indicates an audio-clip. Such an audio-clip you can shorten, cut, move, stack, copy/paste as any other clip in iMovie ...

How to merge audio in a clip during video editing in iMovie?

How and tnxs for reading.
Here the question:
I have a video file which has a bad audio R track and a good audio L one. I would like to edit the video, standard operations like cut, merge, etc...
However I would like to take the audio R track out. Since I do not see any available feature for this I exported the audio track to another audio software and did the operation there. After that I imported the audio L track only in my iMovie (v 10) project, aligned to the clip, I deleted the original audio from the clip, and now I have a perfect project with the original clip with a good audio track.
However, since I would like to work now on the project itself, it'd be great to merge the audio (which is now separated) to the clip, in order to maintain the proper audio with the clip during my cut/paste/etc operations. Is there any special feature I can use for this?
If not, I know I can export the project to a new video file and then open a new iMovie project where I can import the new video file and start again from it, but I am wondering if there is an easier way since in my opinion I had to do already to much work for an easy op like this which would have been fixed easily with the old versions of iMovie.
Tnxs.

Thanks for your reply!
While your answer is helpful, it's not a desired solution for me because the comp track is one channel of a multi-channel recording (two different mics). I don't want to drag a new take into the comp track because the comp track is grouped with other comp tracks for editing purposes, and I don't want to disturb the editing I've already done.
It seems like I "should" be able to select a region in the arrange window and "re-link" the file to any other file in the audio bin (thereby replacing the file with the other). After years of working in graphic layout programs, such as Adobe InDesign, I'm expecting this sort of feature to exist already. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before... but I've used Cubase, Digital Performer, Studio One and Pro Tools, and I'm not sure where I saw it.
Have I described what I'm looking for clearly? I'm not sure it's coming across in what I've written. Can Logic do this?

Why is Organizer "deleting" partial audio on video clips?

I just installed Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 11 a few weeks ago on my Mac desktop (Intel dual processor, OS X 10.6.8 - Snow Leopard). I am working with both standard definition and high definition clips from Panasonic camcorders. It doesn't matter what format -- when imported into the organizer it loses about half of the audio. The clip retains the video and audio lines, but the audio mysteriously "drops out" about half way through the clip. This can actually be seen in expert view -- the audio waveforms just disappear and the line goes flat even though the original clip outside of Organizer still has audio. I tried capturing through both Premiere and through Adobe Bridge which is the downloader I previously used. It doesn't matter -- when the clip goes into the Organizer, part of the audio disappears. I've got plenty of space on my hard drive and more than enough ram, so I have no idea why it's doing this. It's very frustrating because I was so looking forward to being able to tag video clips again. Photos import beautifully without a hitch. It's just the video clips with audio that have this problem. Again, I checked the clips on the camera -- audio is fully intact. Even after uploading with Adobe Bridge the audio is intact. But the minute it goes into Organizer, it gets messed up. Any idea why this is happening? Please help! Thanks.

I realize your interest in the Organizer for tagging your files. But from a troubleshooting perspective, I would ask:
If you import any one of these files in question from its hard drive save location into Premiere Elements 11 Mac using Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets and dragging the file to the Timeline Expert view, can the video on V1 be seen and the audio on A1 be heard without issue?
You offer that you are working with standard and HD footage from a Panasonic camera. Could you please tell us the video and audio properties of these files involved as well as their file extension? What is the duration of a typical file that will not play back in the Organizer?
What players do you have installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 11?
Let us start here and then review the situation.
Thanks.

Audio and video clip lengths differ in encore timeline

Hi
I have been working to build a BD-R H.263 ac3 disk. I used AME from within Premiere Pro to export the M4V and (at the same time) AC3, using the present defualt parameters-no tweaking of any setting. The clips appear to play great on encore's monitor--everything in sync.And on the burned BD-R
However, I am getting the black screen between clips in the timeline when played in the standalone BD player, or (when I had one clip to a timeline) in a playlist. a previous poster made note of different length audio and video clips. I zoomed on the timeline and lo and behold--the the audio and video clips are different lengths.
This is with the timeline fully expand--each division is a frame. Note that break between the two audio clips is offset from the break between the two video clips by two frames. This offset is after several clips. I could find no information on what the one frame crosshatching at the end of the leading clips means. Can anyone explain this cross hatching? What do I do about it? the image below is after the first clip in the timeline:
In this image, the offset is less than a full frame??????
I tried using the trim tools to bring these together-but, the trim tool only lets it jump a full frame and then only to a GOP boundary, which doesn't help because the boundaries are obviously different fro the video and audio track.
I want to emphasize that these assets were created from the Premiere CS4 timeline (which had no offset between audio and video) using the default H.263 and AC3 presets in AME and the same presets selected in Encore.
The offsets do not appear to cause the actual audio and video to go out of sync when I play the burned disk. But, I get the 1-2 second wait between menus and chapters, or with items in a playlist.
The audio offset suggests that the player may not know what to do when faced with a chapter point that is different on the audio and video tracks, although, I will note that encore snapped to the joints in the video track not the audio track.
You can see from this listing that several of the clips audio and video lengths that differ by one frame. By the end of the timeline, the cummulative offset is 3 seconds (48 minute timeline)
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks

I don't think that I had the same problem that you do, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents just in case it might help. Encore would not build the output; it said something like the inpoint and the length did not match the endpoint. Actually, I think this happened in several different situations. In one case I simply adjusted the audio and video tracks to match endpoints. In the other case I went back to Premier and found that in some cases where I had added transitions it had shifted the endpoints of the audio and video tracks so they did not match. I removed the transitions. It didn't matter that much to me since I'm doing this for personal use. Is it possible those crosshatched lines you're seeing are transitions?
I am using CS 3 and editing HD. I have had many problems with encore. I read in the form someplace that it had a hard time handling H.264 so I changed to MPEG-2 and that fixed one problem. In another case it couldn't find some files and I found some advice not to use HD or wide menus, so I switched to standard 4:3 menus and it worked.

Help with Audio for Premiere Project

Working on a lengthy project and need some help with audio which is not my specialty!
I am recording using a Sony EX1r and a wireless lav mic,     OK. Here is what is happening.
When I import the clip into project I get Audio from the left speaker.   If I burn a DVD and playback on home player with surround sound, I get audio out of just the left speaker which makes sense.    SO I go to Premier and use "Fill Left" which fixes the audio on my computer and get sound from left and right speakers.    The odd thing is that when I play this version back from DVD on the surround sound system, the audio now only comes from the CENTER speaker. I dont get anything out of left OR the right speaker so it sounds hollow.
I am sure I am missing something obvious so please be kind.
Is there an easy way to get my audio to come out of Left, Center, and Right speakers (and rear for that matter) ???
Thank you
Ted

Bill,
The DVD player is a Sony BluRay and the receiver is an Onkyo AV receiver HT-R380.
My thinking is that it is something that I am doing wrong inside Premiere vs something that the DVD player or receiver is doing.    My final product will need to play on a variety of DVD players so I need to get it right.
It just seems odd that my default output DVD provides sound to the left speaker but then removes it when I fill Left.
Am I setting up my audio tracks wrong? Or should I being doing something with a 5.1 track???
Thanks
Ted

Can you replace the audio of a clip?

I'm trying to replace the audio of a clip. I know I can easily delete the audio once it's in a sequence, but I'd like to replace the audio entirely so that the new audio is always on the clip as it's viewed in the project bins. You can edit in Audition for the clip, but thre doesn't seem to be a way to save the changes.

There are several way to do this;
Replace with clip...

How To Automatically Split A Large Clip Into Smaller Clips

I captured several one-hour tapes with an older version of Windows Movie Maker.
They are AVI files.
I'd like to work with the footage when I purchase Premiere Pro CS5.5 or CS6.
Each tape is composed of several starts and stops of the record button, so lots of individual clips inside of the hour-long captured footage.
In Premiere Pro CS 5.5, is there a way to automatically split a large clip into smaller clips at the points where I started and stopped the camera?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Flyingfish,
I cannot tell you that.
Historically, with "consumer" CODEC's, PrE often gets native support, before PrPro.
However, with "professional" CODEC's, such as RED, PrPro has those, but PrE will likely never get them. There are some pro CODEC's, that PrPro does have, that PrE is missing, but I do not have a list.
Good luck, and wish that I had more info for you.

How do I put the audio from one clip over the video of another clip?

So I have two videos, and I want to replace the audio of the first with the audio of the second. Sorry, I'm new to 08 and have been trying to suss this out for ages so I'd really appreciate any advice you guys can give.

This thread seems to be on the same subject and is very helpful.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2072620&tstart=50
The Working with Audio clip also included the solution for extracting the audio from a clip at the very end of the video. Having to know the secret handshake of shift-command and dragging is really not intuitive, but such is progress....
