IMovie moving audio clips when transitions are added

iMovie moving audio clips when transitions are addedI have some video clips that need simple fades to black added at the end. However, whenever I add the fade out transition, iMovie does something insane. Instead of the last two seconds of video fading to black and the last two seconds of audio fading out, it seems that a random two seconds of audio from elsewhere in the clip is tacked onto the end and faded. This problem is nuts and I am having no luck finding a solution. Does anyone have one? This has happened with other transitions, but I’d settle for just getting a fade to black to work properly. Is this only a problem with Intel machines?

The problem that you describe has come up frequently on this forum. There are lots of things people have tried, but no solution has been found, other than the workaround of extracting the audio, as Klaus 1 mentions, and manually adjusting the fade out. Some feel that it is an intel machine problem, but that is not clear.

  • Skipping after rendering when transitions are added

    Hey all,
    I'm having an issue with the most recent version of Final Cut.
    I am trying to add a smooth cross-dissolve between clips in V1 and V2. When I originally add the transition, and move the playhead manually with the arrow keys, the transition is smooth. However, once I render the transition, my video jumps.
    To be specific with what happens, the transition itself is smooth, but once the dissolve finishes, the same video that was seen in the dissolve replays normally.
    I have tried adding extra handles, moving them both into the same V1 line, and even tried different transition effects, but the same thing keeps happening.
    How can I fix it?

    Check to be sure the disk format is what iMovie requires.
    Also rule out third-party iMovie plug-ins and QuickTime add-ons that might be causing trouble.
    More about both here:

  • Premiere 8.1 overwrites adjacent audio clip when original clip sent to Audition

    We have been editing a documentary in PR 8.0.1 for several months and the UI started to get really sluggish 1.5 weeks ago. I upgraded to PR 8.1 to see if it would solve the problem and hadn't checked the forum. We were able to get a couple of days of editing before hitting this issue and hope to get it resolved and not have to redo the edits. I spent a couple of days with support and decided to revert back to a clean installation of PR 8.0.1 to work on a couple of other projects while the 8.1 issues get worked on.
    The original problem was orphaned PR processes (up to 4) that were left when PR was closed. We are able to get work done by terminating the orphaned processes.
    The audio issue is a show stopper and I didn't see anything similar in the forums. I have an original MXF audio clip next to one that had been successfully sent to Audition. The original audio immediately gets the adjacent clips file when played after I select the clip and "Edit in Adobe Audition". The audio in Audition is correct. I figured out that I can take other original MXF clips and "Edit in Adobe Audition". I then go back by one step in the history tab in PR and then copy the audio .wav file from Explorer to the PR timeline. It still shows the adjacent clips peak file, but plays correctly. We are going to continue sending the rest of our .mxf audio to Audition and will try to replace the two bad clips with their originals. I have no idea why these clips are tied together and although the clip name is correct, it is playing the adjacent clips audio. Very odd.
    I've deleted the PR and Audition Cache Files and Media Cache Files. No help. I logged case 0186055576 on the 29th, which is when I removed all Adobe products and reinstalled them. Audition is Build 7.1.0.119 and Premiere is 8.1.0 (81). I'm running on Windows 7, i7 920, 48 GB, LSI 9286CV-E RAID disks and Nvidia GeForce 480. I have tried it with  Mercury Playback Engine GPU and software only, no help. The sequence is DV NTSC 29.97 and 48 kHz audio. The problem clips are from a Canon XF305. I have old SD footage which is why the sequence is SD. There are also 5d Mark III clips with sync quality sound. The lavalier audio was recorded to the XF305. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. I work in Seattle and could provide all source files on a USB drive if anyone at Adobe is interested, please, please.

    I think i have found the reason for this and a workaround for it. However it would be good to be fixed in the next update !
    So what i think it was was that some of the recorded sound came as a wav which was 5 mono tracks. When normally sending straight out as an OMFI or to Audition it was seeing these as a full 5 tracks each time therefore one track would be the equivalent of 5.
    Workaround is as follows for future reference :
    Working from a copy of the project
    1)Delete all video tracks and then render and replace audio. This creates extracted audio which you then need for the next step.
    2) Project manager the Sequence as it's just extracted audio it won't copy video files so should give a reasonable size folder.
    3) Open the project managed project which will reference just the extracted Wav's but it also loses the tie between the combined tracks
    4) Then one track at a time export out an OMFI embedded.
    Weirdly the AAF was still having the same issues after this. So i believe that was a red herring. Premiere just seems to struggle embedding with an AAF. OMFI is fine though.
    This is quite a roundabout way but works with no issues . Adobe please fix this, FCP and Avid work first time without all of this mucking around.

  • PSE 6 slideshow audio distortion when .avi is added

    I'm trying to make a slide show with mostly jpegs but with two .avi videos (20 seconds each) added in. The audio works fine, until during the .avi videos; then, it sounds like a fuzzy radio station. Once the .avi is over, the audio rights itself. The videos were taken with an older digital camera (a FujiFilm FinePix, I think--it doesn't include audio).
    What can I do? Please help!
    Thanks!

    Gina,
    Generally I don't add video to a slide show using the Photoshop Elements slide show. Instead I have used some type of a video program to add video to a slide show.
    However, if you give us some additional information, we may be albe to identify some alternatives:
    1- What are your plans for this slideshow? How do you intend to play it back when you are finished?
    2- Are you running Vista or XP?
    3- Do these video files play back OK in Windows Media Player?
    4- Can you identify the specific model of Fuji FinePix camera?
    This might help us to find more info about that video file and its exact contents.

  • Moving Audio Clip less then 1 frame in Premiere

    Is it possible to move an audio clip less then one frame in premiere CS4.  I recorded and then remixed in Audition 3.  Live concert was also recorded in HDV on a Canon hv30.  I want to use the remixed audio with the video footage in place of the camera audio.  It was recorded hdv 30P so one frame is a significant amount of time from the audios point of view.  The audio and video are about half a frame apart.  The only thing I can think of is take the audio back into audition and shorten the lead in by the required amount.  I was hoping for a easier way.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Ken

    Ken,
    Glad that it did work for you. Now, there are still some frame-specific things that can and cannot be done, as PrPro is frame-based, but for your need, it sounded like a good solution.
    Thanks for reporting success,
    Hunt
    PS so you can mark your question as having been answered, right?

  • Some audio clips in timeline are super quiet

    I've had this issue many times before, in the past I've just thrown my hands up in the air and started again, but this is starting to become a very big issue for me.
    Some clips (when I play the timeline) are super quiet (maxing out around -48dB) yet when I play the same clip in the source monitor it plays properly (maxing out around -6dB). The clip has no filters, the gain is set to 0dB and volume is set to 0dB.
    Below I have two clips, both shot on the same camera, same setup within minutes of each other. Both with 0dB Gain and 0dB Volume
    The one on the left is barely audible, where the one on the right is ridiculously loud.
    However, when I nest the clip on the left and open the nested clip, the volume is good again, however the volume of the nested clip in the original timeline is still unuseable. But if i try and nest out both clips into a new timeline, the issue persists into the new timeline.
    I've deleted all the files on my scratch drive, and I still have the issue.

    The clip files are way too large for me to be able to upload them. And I don't think it has anything to do with the files themselves as the same clip will behave in some timelines but not others.
    I did a quick screen capture so you can see the levels etc.
    I start by playing the clips in the original timeline and I get no volume I then nest them, and go into the nested clip... and suddenly I have volume (as hideous as it is, but this is just an example). So same clips same settings, different results.
    BTW the two clips here are different from the previous clips. I started the previous timeline again from scratch and it worked for a while, then my clips just started randomly losing volume again.

  • My movie in iMovie freezes certain clips when I try to export it.

    I've tried exporting it to many places and tried deleting the clips and replacing them but the same clips keep freezing when they are exported.

    How did you transfer it to the PC?
    Not good to export as a Word .doc/x, better to:
    Menu > Export > PDF

  • Audio glitch when transitions added

    Hello,
    When I add transitions such as cross dissolve or fade out, there is a split second of audio noise between the clips and the transitions, even with the audio level turned down to zero.
    I tried to fix this by extracting the audio from the clips where I wanted it and turning off the embedded audio track, but this seemed to make the whole file too large for imovie to handle! The movie is about an hour and twenty minutes, and I really don't want to shorten it if I don't have to because it's somebody's wedding and reception.
    Any help anyone can offer is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    I tried extracting the audio, and it was working fine, but it seems like the program could only handle so much extracted audio, because the more clips I did this to, the slower the program would run, and this problem was corrected when I deleted the extracted audio tracks.
    Any suggestions?
    I'm stumped!
    Thanks.

  • When will Apple resolve the FCPX Crashes when Effects are added to a clip in timeline.

    I have tried every route to get answers from Apple regarding system crashes when applying an Effect to a clip in the timeline. I am now getting more aware from posts in all sorts of Forum / Communities that this is causing VERY MANY users a problem.
    It would only take 30 seconds for Apple to post a statement to let their users know what they intend or are doing to resolve together with an estimated fix time.
    Come on Apple please SAY something at least.
    F. Jackson

    Here we go - I have another thread that I started the other day, but thought I'd continue this here. I just did an extensive test. Fred, you may be on to something here. I'm beginning to think some of this is only happening if you are:
    (a) running the Trial version
    (b) Motion is NOT installed
    (c) and it may be that the 10.0.1 update has created this problem, although surely Tom and Andy are running that update...
    ...or some combination of the above. Anyway...
    New iMac i5 quad-core 12mb RAM - new machine with total stock config - only Apple software except for Office 2011.
    FCP X Trial version, Motion is not installed
    I've tried a variety of clips, but to eliminate variables, for this test I just used clips from a Canon 60D. They were imported from the card and converted to ProRes by FCP X.
    Again, these crashes only relate to using the Inspector with certain Effects. If the Inspector is closed, I can apply these Effects and they play back flawlessly. However, once I've applied them and selected the clip, clicking the Inspector button causes an immediate Quit of FCP. And, if the Inspector is already open, just applying the Effect to any clip causes an immediate Quit.
    These are the Effects that cause the crash (for me) by category:
    Blur - Radial, Zoom
    Distortion - Earthquake, Fisheye, Fun House, Glass Block, Mirror, Scrape, Water Pane
    Keying - Image Mask
    Lighting - Highlights, Side Lights, Spot
    Looks - amazingly enough, all work except for Glory
    Stylize - Censor, Halftone, Line Screen, Photo Recall, Pixellate, Vignette
    Tiling - Kaleidoscope, Kaleidotile, Perspective Tile (but strangely just plain "Tile" DOES work)
    So, this is approximately half of the supplied Effects. Interestingly, there is not a single category in which ALL of them work, nor one in which NONE of them work. And, by the way, doing this gave me a chance to check out every Effect - wow are there some cool ones I can't wait to work with. And, I got into this routine of highlight clip, make sure Inspector was open, double-click Effect, if no crash just CMD-z and repeat. I threw a lot of changes at it in quick succession and it handled it beautifully, except for the list above.
    There is also a third party free effect from Alex4D called Smooth Move. It looks fantastic! It allows Ken Burns-like scaling which somewhat alleviates the weird animation that results if you scale and move at the same time with keyframes, BUT it allows the flexibility to NOT have the move span the entire clip like Ken Burns does. Oops, sorry, that Effect ALSO crashes the Inspector, so I can't access the controls. And, to keep this test pristine, I didn't try the Alex4D Effect on this test iMac, just on my Mac Pro on a clean system install.
    Now, if Apple said (or says later) oh, wait, in the Trial version some of the Effects are not adjustable, but they are flawless in the paid version, I'd be fine with that. And, if you guys with the paid version and/or Motion installed say it works fine for you, I believe you :-). It's just that several of us were excited to get the Trial. I've been using FCP since 2003 and LOVE this new version. But, until you figure out that you can't use the Inspector with half of the Effects if you are using the Trial version, it just seems like the thing is unusable and crashes constantly - because it does.
    Now that I know this, I don't think I've had a SINGLE crash otherwise - even on my "wrong" install on my MacPro with FCP7 and FCPX both on the boot drive.

  • Why can't I click on the movie clips when they are moving fast?

    I am making a game where insects in an array fall down from above the screen. The user clicks on these insects to increase his/her score. When the score reaches specific points, the speed increases. When the speed increases, it gets harder to click on these movieclip insects. There is one particular insect where you can't click on and destroy at all when the speed becomes fast. This is the code inside this particular insect. Note that all insects have the same codes in them, but this insect in particular is very hard to click. This insect also has animation in it; I tried making a transparent box around to make the click easier, but it's still not working right.
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
        import flash.display.MovieClip;
        import fl.motion.Animator;
        import flash.events.*;
        var MainTimeLine = MovieClip(root);
        this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, kill3);
        this.dead = false;
        function kill3(e:MouseEvent):void
            this.dead=true;
            mouseChildren=false
            gotoAndPlay(31);
            this.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, kill3);
            flash.utils.setTimeout(removeSelf2,2000);
        function removeSelf2():void
            this.parent.removeChild(this);

    there's nothing about a movieclip's speed that would stop it from being clickable.
    your transparent box, should have its visibility property true and alpha=0.

  • Can't hear my audio clip when i play back my video. Why?

    I recorded an audio file in QuickTime, moved it to iTunes, then imported it into iMovie. Then I dragged it to the Project area, under my video clips but you can't hear it when playing the clip. What am I doing wrong?

    Well, in the "System settings" menu I have these options:
    Default imput: Built-in microphone Default Output: Built-in output
    Built-in input System Output: Built-in output
    (In neither of the imput/output menus I see built-in audio.0
    In the "Properties For" menu immediately below the "system settings" menu I get the following three options:
    Built-in Microphone
    Built-in Input
    Built-in Output
    (No "built-in audio" option either in this case.)This menu is currently set to built-in microphone, and I just found out that if I set it to built-in input, the audio output below appears 'output not supported' and greyed out, and if I set it to built-in output, the audio input below appears not supported and greyed out, whereas the audio output now appears to be supported. How come? It seems that I cannot have both at the same time. Is that normal?
    One more thing: I don't know if this is important, but I think I most probably is:Whenever I start Logic Pro in my computer a dialogue box appears warning me that "The previously selected audio interface is no available" and that "The built-in audio inputs and outputs of the computer will be used instead for this session."
    Thanks again Caramby!

  • Random audio clip over transition

    Hello, I haven't seen this mentioned before. When I try to use the "Fade out" transition, it previews fine, but then when I drop it in the timeline, it drops in with a random clip of audio on full volume. I have the audio volume line displayed, and as it is now, it doesn't indicate that there is any audio over the clip. I know this is bizarre, but any ideas how to fix this?

    I am having the same thing! I'm on a deadline for a movie for a friend's wedding. Any help would be great! It's an hour long movie so days and days of time have been spent. thanks!
    I have several places that are messed up this way. I know I did use some fade outs, also separated audio in some clips, etc.

  • Moving audio files around that are not in the iTunes library

    Hi,
    Can someone please confirm some behaviour for me. This is regarding iTunes (on OS X naturally) and moving files around that aren't located within the iTunes library.
    Most of the files I use are located within the iTunes library, they are fine. However i do maintain a number of files outside of the iTunes library which i primarily use as a DJ. I would like to keep these files seperate, however I do move them occasionally, especially as I classify new music into categories and such.
    On my previous powerbook, I noticed that I could move these files and iTunes would still be able to find them, without my manually notifying iTunes where to find them. I did notice a hiccup though, and once when I was recovering from a backup, a bunch of files that i moved weren't found by iTunes.
    on my lovely new macbook pro I'm experimenting with the same thing, but it hasn't seemed to been working so far.
    my question: Does OS X track where files get moved to? Does iTunes for Mac automatically fix it's library after some period of time through the OS?
    I'd really like to confirm this behaviour and see what I can / can't count on.
    thanks,
    conrad

    I dont think you can rely on itunes to keep track of your files consistently if you move them around all the time. One solution would be to make a "smart folder" in finder/file/new smart folder. You could call this smart folder "chicago hard house set" and set it to find the tag "chicago hard house set" Then in itunes when you find a track or loop you want to use in that set just add the tag "chicago hard house set" to the composer line under "get info". the smart folder will find the tag in itunes and put a the file in the smart folder, if you keep the smart folder on your desktop (or wherever) Ableton will see the folder and let you access all the files in it. So you can preview all your sound files in itunes and tag them to a specific set and they will show up in that sets smart folder. I use the smart folders to keep track of multiple tracks when recording with Digital Performer onto multiple hard drives at one time.

  • HELP! Loopable audio clip "transpose" commands are inactive

    I have created an .aif audio loop with the Apple Loops Utility, but when I try to transpose it the "transpose" window components remain grey.
    Does anyone know how to turn the loop transposable?
    Thank you!

    Agreed, the term 'nudge' is technically incorrect and therefore confusing.
    Dictionary.com's definition of nudge:
    verb (used with object)
    1. to push slightly or gently, especially with the elbow, to get someone's attention, prod someone into action, etc.
    So to 'nudge' a clip up would be to move it up just 'slightly', not all the way up to the next track.  'Move to Higher/Lower Track' makes a lot more sense.
    Jim, you say 'That is the way it should work'.  If that's the way that works best for your workflow, great!  For me, the way it should work is the way described in my FR.  That's why I'm such a big proponent of Adobe giving us choices to decide what works best for our own workflows, so we can all be happy.
    Please feel free to forward this FR to Adobe, if for nothing else, so that clips move up/down in the relative, not absolute sense as you aptly point out.

  • Dynamically populated dropdown values are missing when instances are added

    HI Team
    I have a subform which is repeatable have  a drop down  as one of the field which is dynamically populated from the web service call(short lived process) from the DB.On initialize event of the subform the data connection is executed .Dropown is populated with the values but when an instance of subform is added the dropdown values are missing.
    Only in the first instance of a subform  dropdown values are showing up , when instances of subform is added the drop down values are missing.
    Please let me how can i solve this issue,
    Thanks in Advance
    Bharathi

    I've tried this option by adding some value (hard-coded) during initialize event of the subform and all values are populated in the newly added instances as well.
    Not sure why it's not working for you.. Can you try adding some sample values without calling web service and confirm if it's working?
