Lock the audio and precision edit only the video clips?

How would I:
Starting with a series of roughly edited video clips, add a final audio track, lock that track, and then precision edit the video to that audio?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, onehhitfights.
Let's start by clarifying exactly what you mean when you say that your A/V clips are importing only as audio. What does the clip's icon look like in the Project panel (list view)? Is it just an audio waveform, or does is it a combo of film frame and waveform?
Is the audio missing regardless of whether you play it in the Source Monitor or drop it in on the Timeline and play it in the Program Monitor?
If the clip's icon includes the film frame and you can see video in the Source Monitor, then most likely you don't have a video track selected for source patching.

  • I added background music to the video clip, but I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the background music audio

    I added background music to the video clip in iMovie, the playback runs ok on the right corner preview screen, if I share it to movie clip or itunes or theather, I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the music audio
    If I don't put additional audio to the clip. audio effect or music background, the video plays normally
    I detached the audio from the video clip and deleted it, that way it was possible to listen to the music background and see the actual video clip, but no audio from the video clip.
    How can I have both?

    Hi
    My first thought is -
    Where are the original Audio file ?
    If it was on an Audio-CD then the CD is Ejected and one tries to play the movie - it can not find it = Silence.
    You are using an Non-Destructive Video editor - meaning that You have raw material - Video, Audio and photos but no Movie in Project - only a text document directing How You want it to be played. So if Audio is not where it was when this document were created - iMovie can not find it and e.g. audio goes silent.

  • Just got fcp, how do mute the sound on the video clip so it does not come through the audio track?

    just got fcp, how do mute the sound on the video clip so it does not come through the audio track?
    Please help

    Don't edit the audio into the timeline. Or pull the audio level down to zero in the inspector or on the audio waveform in the timeline.

  • On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

    .

    Hey,
    If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.

  • Lock the Video option

    Is there a way to lock the video option on the new Ipod Nano's?

    I see. Sorry if I came off as confrontational, haha. Wasn't meaning to, but thanks for the help. I tried telling them that it was highly likely that they couldn't do that, but they still wanted proof, lol.
    What about locking the account so its only accessible from one computer? If I could do that, then that would be just as good. We just don't want her going to a friends house to put stuff on there they she shouldn't have. If there's a way to do that, then that would also work.
    Thanks again,

  • Why is the Video clip jumpy?

    Why is the Video clip jumpy? I have just installed Premiere Elements 12 in a brand new computer:
    Acer Aspire V5
    CPU AMD Dual Core Processor a-4 APU with Radeon (TM HD Graphics 1.0 GHz)
    4GB DDR3 memory
    500 GB HDD
    Windows 8.1
    The file types are AVI, AVCHD, and MOV files

    northgal
    Lots of ways to go on this. But, I think starting with a definition of the source media and how you are setting up the project is going to be the path to success. So, we need to zero in on questions/answers related to what I wrote earlier
    The properties of the source media need expanding up beyond "file types are AVI, AVCHD, and MOV.
    a. What are the video and audio compression of the files with the .avi file extension and what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    b. What is the file extension for the file with the AVCHD video compression. Again, what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    c. What are the video and audio compression of the files with the .mov file extension and what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    You asked how to go about that. The best way is to run each of the file types through a video properties read out program such as MediaInfo
    http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
    Latest versions of that MediaInfo have been problematic in that you need to be on guard for any unwanted toolbars and installed "extra" programs (bloatware).
    OR
    We would not necessarily get more information, but we would get enough to put us in a good position, if we run the types through gspot utility (good for codec and basic information)...less bloatware concerns
    http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
    The dialog that you would get from gspot would look like
    Once we know the video and audio codecs, frame size, frames rates, interlaced or progressive frame rates, etc. that we are dealing with, we on a good course to set up the project settings to match those properties, independant of whatever export choices we have in mind. That we will address later after a successful import and edit.
    OR
    A third choice for getting at this information is less productive but can be a good last resort...knowing the brand/model/recording settings of the camera from which these files came.
    Please review and then let us know if you can gather the file properties information details requested.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thank you.

  • No audio on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing

    I was assisted yesterday by your technical support team to install the photoshop elements 12 & premiere elements 12 which I purchased e few minutes prior.
    while trying to work with the premiere elements 12, I realised that I have no audio  on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing.
    How can I solve this audio setting problem?

    If you want us to help you here then please continue reading....
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
    Is the lack of audio in the Editing area of the program confined to this one particular MPG2 video clip?
    What are the properties of this video file? If you do not know
    a. perhaps the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video might give us the information we need for troubleshooting
    b. if not, consider getting that information from MediaInfo (Tree View)

    Just watch out for carry alongs in the download. The link is for the Windows version. A Mac version is available.
    Did you discover the loss of audio for the video file after you had created a narration clip with the program's Narration Tool?
    If you have not already, please check the settings under Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and its ASIO settings (including Input and Output enablement).
    Please review, consider, and reply to the above. If you have questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • I belive I have fixed the video clip pan updating problom in iMovie hd.

    I belive I have fixed the video clip pan updating problom in iMovie hd. I have been using my VCR with my Director's Cut 2 video converter with my iMac G5. To convert my VHS home movies to DVD. The problom I had been having is when I captuerd the video to my Mac is when I go back to play it back. I would click on a video clip and it would tell me it had to update the file and then I could play the clip. That drove me nuts. So first I went to the Apple store and I got the new iLife 6. So then I come home and update everything with it. Then I test it again same thing happens to me. Well to say the lest I was lived mad. Till I thought of something let me try one more thing. So I went for brocke. I hooked up my mindv camcorder and my VCR though the pass though A/V pass though conector and then I hook the cam up to my Mac. So I go to record bingo. I hit the clip and it did not have to update then I made more and more and bingo I think I fixed it nock on wood. But I also ordered a Canopus 110 video converter to see if. I can get it to work were I do not have to use my mindv cam to do the convertion all the time and ware it out. Some how my DC2 was making the video clip it took into a difrent formate some how go figuer.

    You might hit it lucky as there's a free conversion program called MPEG Streamclip <This Link is a direct download>. You can download it and drag one of your clips into the App Window then Export it to .mov (In the window that pops up there's a pulldown list and you should Choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
    Do you know what format the videos are in? Do they have a 3 letter file extension like .mpg, or .mts or .m2ts or anything like that?

  • How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

    I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks!
    Ayca

    Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately?  If so then here's how:
    1 - open iDVD and select your theme. 
    2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
    3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
    4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left. 
    Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
    Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
    This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
    If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos.  Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
    That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

    You are probably going to have to use a video converter on your PC. You might like to look at this:

  • Imovie 11: When moving clips from event to project, the top of the video clip is cut off.

    I'm working with a new project. When I add clips from an event to the project window, the top of the video clip is cut off.  Quite a bit of it is cut off.  It happens on every clip.  The aspect ratio is correct and I've set the video to fit in frame.  How can I fix this?  I would really appreciate any help.

    You may have stabilization turned on in the project. On one of the clips, click on the small gear icon at the start of the clip and select Clip Adjustments. In the Inspector that opens, uncheck the box "Smooth Clip Motion" against Stabilization. If this fixes it for you, do the same for the other clips.
    Also, it's a good idea to turn off certain preferences in iMovie>Preferences (an iMovie menu item). In the Browser tab uncheck the boxes for both "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed" and "Apply rolling shutter correction for clips that have been analyzed". See this picture:
    The stabilization process causes a zoomed in effect on the video, as it has to "average" the pixels in order to smooth any shaky motion. You therefore lose a certain amount of the picture, depending on the extent of stabilization applied. Here's what iMovie Help states (in part) about this process:
    "iMovie stabilizes video by analyzing the camera motion in the video and then moving the picture the opposite way to steady it onscreen. In this process, iMovie zooms in on the picture slightly. The amount of unstable motion in the clip determines how much zooming is necessary.
    Zooming in crops out some of the picture, but you can fine-tune the level of stabilization to strike the right balance between keeping the video steady and retaining as much of the picture as possible."
