Locking Sound Files to Video Clips

Hello,
This is the problem that I am ecountering. If I'm working on a project and I delete the recorded sound from the video clips and then insert something from itunes but later change the video clips slightly (say by deleting a few seconds here or there) then all my sound files are not in the correct positions any longer.
Is there any way to lock sound files to the video clips so that if I delete something in a video clip later on that the sound file will move with the earlier video clips?
I hope I'm making myself clear. Sorry if I am not.
Thanks.

Working with locked audio clips can be frustrating. I've noticed for several years that I've used iMovie. It seems if you change the length of the video clip BEFORE a section where you have locked audio clips to the video those "locked" positions do not stay. You will see the yellow pins out of line.
I am finding this helpful in my situation if I need to edit video before a section of locked clips.
- In timeline view drag the first video clip to the right, (in the section of locked clips) thus creating a black space.
- Do your editing that you need to before this black space
- Now when you go back to the section with the locked audio clips. If you have changed the length of the video before this section you will find the yellow pins out of line.
- However start dragging that first video clip a bit to the left (shortening the black space) and you should see the yellow pins pop back in alignment.
- If needed select all the video clips in your section (using shift-click on the first clip and shift click on the last clip) and then drag all back into position (removing the black space)
This may be a work around for those trying to edit and keep those locked clips truly in place. Maybe someone has further insight on this.

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.

How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

Hi guys,
First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
      but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
      recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
Please help, all of you experts.

Thank you.
OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
My process is this:
1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
     The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

Windows Movie Maker - no sound on QT video clips

I'm trying to combine QuickTime video clips (downloaded from Casio camera) into one movie, using Windows Movie Maker (Vista). All the clips have sound when I open them in their folder but after importing the clips in to MovieMaker, there is no sound. How do I import these clips so that their sound is also there? I have no problem with other video clips, only those saved as QT.
Thanks

Keynote 09 file containing video clips is Huge!

I'm a brand new user and the app looks like a real PowerPoint killer! Elegant graphics and capabilities. One key reason I bought it was to integrate looping video backgrounds on slides. I have tested this and the results have been hit and miss. For the most part it does everything I hoped it would and what PowerPoint (on Windows) absolutely CANNOT do...layer text and moving graphics on top of video. My first test file runs okay about 75% of the time. But sometimes the video clips freak out, looking like multi-colored pixel vomit! If I click around and select different slides it seems to go away. But I can't be confident in using this at a sales presentation for my company for fear it would crap out in the middle of a presentation.
That said, here's my first question: Is there a defacto-standard QuickTime format or codec that is more stable than others? I tried an MP4 QT movie as an alternative and all I got was a solid green box - no video.
Here's my second question: Why is my 3-slide file 427MB?! In Preferences I unchecked: "copy audio and movies into document." I deleted the clips, quit Keynote, restarted and re-inserted the clips and the file is still 427MB. The movies inside the file are 73MB, 103MB and 245MB...all pretty sizeable files. I'm going to try reducing the QuickTime movies using Compressor, but I wanted to ask here to see if anyone has the same issues.
Thanks.

All depends on the size and codec of your .movs. I prefer h.264 as it uses the GPU to decode (so I am told) and looks superior to me and my film buddies over other codecs. Few Macs can playback uncompressed HDVideo, you really need a dedicated card like Blackmagic cards or the like.
Does not embed videos if you have de-selected relevant option in my experience. Try making a new file, setting save options (de-select audio&video files), save file. Drag slides across from old file and save. Should be good now. If still a problem, set option to save as a package. The right-mouse-button click on file in finder an "Show contents" that way you can see exactly what files have been embedded.
To tell you something you already know: the sum of 73MB, 103MB and 245MB is 421MB
Also, I have made HD res animations that play infinitely (except for Keynote QT time limit but mine can spool across slides) and never repeat in the same way (multiple variable loops) that are 20kB-100kB in size . That's one way around the size issue but only works for animations not recorded camera video.

No Sound from Flip video clips on iMac, but works on Mac Pro and Macbook

I just got a flip video camera today. I tried it out at work, made a quick video, imported it on my mac pro, and it worked fine. I came home took some videos, went on my iMac(24 inch core 2 duo) and was surpised that the videos imported without sound. After searching the web, I didn't find any concrete solutions, just some suggestions that pointed towards codecs. Since nothing worked, I sent the file to my wife's macbook pro to try it out. The same AVI file on her computer plays sound. Now I am totally confused.
Any ideas?

The sound is on, and other files and applications play sound.
In fact, in iMovie 09, there is sound. But there is no sound in quicktime, VLC player, the flipshare software the camera works with, and if I upload to youtube via the iMac there is no sound on the youtube video, but if I upload the file to youtube from the macbook pro, there is sound.
I don't know what to try next.

Sound attached to video clips gone

Using Adobe Premiere elements 12. Added sound narration. Now Sound from video recording (Audio 1) gone. Sound bar is there and nothing is turned down. Simply not audible

Garth Orsmond
Many thanks for the follow up with the great news that your project sound is back.
If your schedule permits, would it be possible for you to describe which solution (or variation thereof) in the post 1 link worked for you?
This is a particular disturbing audio/Narration Tool narration problem that does not affect all, but the numbers of reports of its
happening seem to be increasing. If you have not already, please update from Premiere Elements 12 to 12.1. I do not believe that
to be the answer to this particular issue but it will help you with any Expert workspace Text Style issues at least.

Premiere CS3 Freezes when 'Generating Peak File' for Video Clips

Well the title explains it all really.
I'm importing a large 7.5 gb video file (.avi) and in the bottom corner it says 'Generating Peak File for xxxx'.
Which is fine until the bar is right at the end, and Premiere freezes on me and I have to end the process..
Thanks for your time!

Hi Steve,
After reading everybody’s responses I am feeling a little out of my depth. Being new to this I am having difficulty in understanding a lot of the information given to me and also in the information you require from me. It appears that one thing I should never do is mix film from two different cameras. I would really like to fix this one particular clip though as it holds an interview that was taken when leaving Coober Pedy and something that I don’t want to lose.

I downloaded and installed Media Info and Morgan Multimedia MJPEG Codec V3.99.108 today. Do I have to register it to get it to operate? I read the documentation file that came with it hoping to find a clue as what I should do but I could not comprehend the information it contained.
Thank you and other members who have responded to my plea for all the help you have given me.

Can anyone help me figure why there is a popping sound when I move from an iphoto still image to a new video clip? The sound has been removed from the video clips and there is another soundtrack underneath it all. Help?

My current project is like many I have created in the past. I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project. Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound. I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one. Any way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks so much for your help.

No sound on video clips on 6230i

Hi Folks,
Can anyone help with the following:
I have some video clips which I have converted to .3gp using the nokia player, and they then play OK on my PC, but when I transfer them to my phone, only the video plays, no sound at all.
I have one clip on my phone which does play sound and video but it was converted using a different application some time ago which unfortunately I no longer have.
So there is no problem with sound on my phone, it just seems not to play the sound on new video clips.
Any ideas most welcome.
Regards.
P.S. I have a 6230i and I'm using Data Suite version: 6.84.10.3

Exporting sound of a video

Hello. I am trying to export the sound of a video clip in AIFF format for my wife to put on a CD she's making for a colleague.
The video clip is in FlashVideo (flv) format. I opened the clip in QuickTime Pro, and clicked on export and chose the option Sound: AIFF. The file is created, and will open in ITunes and QuickTimePlayer but the sound is not audible. The curser moves showing the file is playing but there is no sound.
I tried saving in Au and Wave formats as well, with the same result. I even opened the files in RealPlayer.
What am I doing wrong? The file info says it has 7.5 MB so it's not empty.
Thanks!
RS

I never did get Itunes to work with the file, but I downloaded Streamclip and it worked like a charm.
Glad to help.
For iTunes to work, you have to set the default audio preference first. This refers to the compression format to which iTunes is automatically set as a default when a CD is incserted and copied to the hard drive. If you reset this to AIFF, import your MP3 file, highlite the imported MP3 file, and then go to the "Advanced" menu you will file a "Create AIFF" option is now avilable for the conversion of any selected audio file in your list. If your default preference setting is "Apple Loseless," then the option will be "Create Apple Lossless." If "MP3," then the option will be "Create MP3." And so on and so forth..
In any case. MPEG Streamclip is a veery handy application and well worth many times its "free" price tag if you need to supplement the capabilities of QT Pro. Would recommend you keep both handy. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses. While the capabilities of these applications may overlap in many areas, each does have features that complements the other and both are great for all kinds of daily "mini-edits" or conversions that do not require other, more specialize or dedicated applications.
