Menu audio won't play on first Chapters page

My last project had 8 chapter or scene markers, six of which appear on the first Scene Selection page. The audio assigned to the menu on this page will not play even though the settings are identical to those on the main menu page and the second Scene Selection page. This behavior exists in edit more and in preview mode. The audio plays correctly on the main menu page and the second Scene Selection page. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a bug in iMovie or am I missing some setting somewhere?

This sounds like an iDVD issue. You are more likely to reach people who use iDVD if you go to the [iDVD Discussion (click here).|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1310]
Good luck.

Premiere Elements 4 audio won't play on mp4 files, codecs missing/unavailable on .mov files

I dowlnloaded Premiere Elements 4, and when I import mp4 files, the video plays but the audio will not. I've also tried to import .mov files, and an error message pops up that says "Codec missing or unavailable." I downloaded the latest version of Quicktime, but that didn't change anything. The files will play back on the video camera, but I"m having trouble with them on my computer. The audio on the mp4 files plays in Quicktime, but not the video, and vice versa when I import them into Elements. Any suggestions?

Does Quicktime Pro also edit .mov files on a PC?

Premiere Elements 4 pretty much works with tape-based digital video. That would be video from a miniDV or HDV tape-based camcorder. It doesn't handle other formats very well.
If you plan to edit MP4s, you definitely want to upgrade to a more current version of the program. If you can't install a current version of the program, you may need to address issues on your computer (such as an outdated operating system or underpowered hardware configuration).
Short of that, you could buy Quicktime Pro from Apple for $29. It will edit MP4s, even on a PC platform.

Help!! AVI audio won't play - Premiere Pro v.7

Hi!
I captured footage from my DV camera into Windows Movie Maker in the form of a DV-avi. (I use WMM because Premiere crashes when I try to capture DV video). And when I import the AVI into Premiere Pro v.7 the audio won't play in the project window. However, when I scrub the slider back and forth the audio does play (kind of).
I have never had this problem before. I've captured video many times and this never happened.
I tried re-capturing it 6 times, but still the audio doesn't play (except when I scrub).
Is there an option I clicked accidentally?
Any help would be really great.
Thanks a lot!

I think WMM creates type 1 files and Premiere needs type 2
You might Google for a converter
You might also use the free http://www.headbands.com/gspot to find out the file details, and report back so someone may be able to help
I installed that program. Very helpful and interesting. Thanks for the link.
I assumed, like you, that I had simply captured the AVI files as Type 1. But I guess they are Type 2, after all.
I don't know if this helps, but the AVIs play just fine in Quicktime, Windows Media Player, WMM and Winamp.

Hype widget; audio won't play when previewing on iPad

Hi,
I've come across a strange 'bug' in iBooks Author. Hope someone can help.
I made a widget using Tumult's Hype software. It has multiple scenes, audio and animated text. When previewing the widget in Hype everything works fine. But here comes the strange part;
When I insert the hype widget in an empty iBooksAuthor book the animation and audio works fine when previewing on my iPad2. But when i insert the widget in my iBook, wich has already ten pages filled with text, reviews, etc., the animation work, but the audio won't play when previewing on my iPad.
People from Tumult helped me, but were not able to fix this.
So in an empty book the widget from Hype works fine, but when inserting the widget in a book that has some pages the audio won't play! How can i fix this?
Thanks for the support!

Audio won't play after audio render

I have an MP3 on audio track 1 in Premiere/CS4, placed underneath video clips which I've unlinked from the audio and deleted/cleared those unlinked audio files. The MP3 file plays fine until I render the timeline and then it stops playing. If I 'double click' the file (placing it back in the source window) it plays fine there, but won't play in the timeline. I've included the file properties below. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix the problem?
Type: MP3 Audio
File Size: 4.2 MB
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:03:03:32868
Average Data Rate: 23 KB / second

I could do a MP3 to WAV conversion, but that defeats the
purpose of storing my (growing) music library in MP3 for space conservation.
I understand the space problem. Only do this for files that you are using as Assets, Imported into PrPro, if they give you a problem.
Seems I'm finding I have to do a lot of 'work arounds' with CS4.
Well, it does seem that you are not alone on this one. However, my problem came with PrPro 2.0. In my case, it only happened once, but did affect about a dozen Audio files in several Sequences. Did not realize the magnitude of my issue, and only observed it after a busy day of trying to Keyframe some Effects and doing multiple Renders to check things out. One moment all Audio in that section was playing well - next moment (after one more Render) dead. Others, who replied to my thread indicated that it had happened to them too, in similar circumstances. Trouble was, none of us could duplicate it and some had this happen on their first Render, while I'd probably done a dozen that morning. Have never had it happen again, and finished that Project with hundreds more Renders, just like I'd done, with not one problem. I certainly can not call it a Bug, as there was no way for anyone to reproduce it. Still, whatever allows it to happen, under the right (or wrong) circumstances seems to be around two generations later. Hey, phases of the Moon?
Good luck, and let's hope that neither of us sees this behavior again,

Audio won't play after replacing the video clip with after effects composition?

I am using CS5. Still new to this stuff so let me know if you need extra info. None of the faq guides have been helpful.

The audio is still in the project, but won't play in the canvas... this was solved by Richardttt... see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1491870&tstart=0
I tried this and it works but still don't know why it happened: Under Object Menu, select Unsolo>Video Only.

Final Cut Pro Audio won't play

I am making a slideshow with final cut, and every now and then I run into a song that won't play audio. I looked at the audio levels on the clip and they just aren't there. The music will go into final cut from itunes, but the actual audio isn't there. It works well when I play the song (in Itunes, or out of the final cut music and sound menu), but not when it is in the video. This only happens for a few songs though, any help??????

Hi Druw77
I have had that for months and months , I have found now a quick way to get around it, but it's not a solution is to press cmd f12 at the same time and then hit render again. I should get you around the problem for awhile but I suspect you need to reboot the software as i have done on many occasions!
Sorry no one has helped me with the solution has yet and seems to be a problem with a few editors I know as well.

Audio won't play in iTunes

Hi...hopefully someone can help me.
I installed updates for Windows Vista and now when I open iTunes and click on a song it comes up in the now playing but doesn't actually play.
I have no idea how to fix it.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem but only when I open iTunes and do something else before I play audio. In other words, if I open iTunes and immediately start playing music, it works fine. But if I first download a podcast or open the iTunes Store or start entering info about tracks, it won't play audio after that.

Audio won't play when I'm skimming through clips on iMovie

The audio of the clips I have on iMovie won't play when I'm skimming through them, but will play when I play the clips. I made sure the volume of every clip and on the computer works (it does) but this is getting really annoying. Can anyone please help me out?

To Reboot your computer, select /Shutdown... from the top menu. Wait a few seconds, then turn your computer back on with the on switch.
You don't really have to know what a swapfile is, but here is a simplified explanation.
Your computer comes with a processor (Intel 2.8 ghz in my case), memory (2GB in my case), and a hard drive (500GB in my case).
The processor is very fast. The memory holds the instructions and the data that the processor will work on next. Long term storage is kept on the hard drive, which is slower. Think of the following metaphor: You are sitting at a desk. You are the processor. Your desktop is the memory, which contains the stuff you are ready to act on. Stuff you have already acted on, or will not need until later, is in the drawers or in a file cabinet (the hard drive).
Let's say you are working in several applications at once: iMovie, Microsoft Word, iTunes, Calendar, and Safari. Each of these programs needs some of your memory to function, and to get stuff to the processor for action. If you add all the memory requirements up, it may be more than the 2GB of "real" memory that you have. Fortunately, OSX lets you use virtual memory, so your programs can pretend they have as much memory as they need. Your programs can address memory as if they had a whole bunch of memory all to themselves.
This is done through swapfiles. When there is more virtual memory than real memory, the programs and data that have been used least recently are swapped out to hard disk in a swapfile. This file is not the permanent storage. It is the temporary parking place for memory when the real memory is being used by another application.
So lets say you want to use iMovie. It might take up 1GB out of your 2GB. There is not room, so OSX looks around and sees that you haven't used iTunes in a while. So the itunes instructions and music about to be played is swapped our to a swapfile on the harddisk.
If you decide you want to listen to iTUnes, you will have to wait a few seconds as iTunes is swapped back in to real memory, and something else is swapped out.
This is a simple case. It can get more complicated.
But, as you run more and more programs, the real memory gets used up and there might be seven or eight swapfiles out on disk. At some point, OSX gets sluggish and has a hard time dealing with this. For example, if two large swapfiles needed to be paged in at the same time, there might not be room. Also, the real memory can get fragmented, and have open space, but the open space is not big enough to swap something in.
I run a free utility called Memory Stick that shows me how many swapfiles I currently have. If I am working on something critical in iMovie, and I notice that I have a lot of swapfiles, I will usually just reboot and start over with 1 swapfile. In doing this, I hope to avoid the spinning beach ball that happens when OSX can't handle it any more.
You don't really need to know this. OSX handles it for you. But understanding how it works can help you self-diagnose some problems from time to time.

Video and audio won't play in Itunes...just a gray screen

i put my digital copy of the hangover on itunes but it won't play. it says it is playing but it's a gray screen and no audio. whats wrong??? it plays on my ipod touch fine though.

There is an issue with the latest iTunes version that is causing downloaded movies/songs from not playing on your computer, but should work on your iPod. Until Apple releases an update that'll fix this, this problem will probably not go away.

Exported MPEG2 Audio Won't Play in Quicktime - is there a workaround?

Just completed my first video edit in Premiere Elements. Working with 720p HD footage from a Sony Cybershot. Tried various preset outputs, HD 720p 25, among others. In all cases, picture looked good but audio did not play back. Just discovered after some searching that Quicktime will not playback MPEG2 audio without a $20 add on. That's not going to break my bank, but do I really need it? Is there a workaround for this? Can I export in Dolby Digital? My goal is simply to have a finished project that is the most universally playable as possible. Will eventually archive on tape and DVD. Obviously, want to maintain the best sound as possible.

Instead of using Apple's QuickTime Player, I would suggest looking into another player, such as VLC Player, or MediaPlayer Classic HC, both of which are free, and both of which have a very full set of CODEC's included in them.
For the best possible Audio, it would be best to choose PCM/WAV as the Audio CODEC. This is almost totally universal, and unlike all MPEG Audio (including AC3), is uncompressed. The file will be a bit larger (Audio does not take up as much space, as does the Video), but should give better quality, and not require additional CODEC's for users to play the file w/ Audio. This might not be an option in all possible Export/Share schemes.
For either PCM/WAV, or AC3 Audio, this will be set from the Audio Tab in the Export/Share settings. Remember setting the Encoding for the Audio might not be available in all formats, so just check that Audio Tab in the settings dialog screen (usually under Advanced).
As for DD Audio, you can set the Audio Encoding to AC3, wich is Dolby Digital, but that option might not be available with all possible Export/Share formats, so it gets down to an "it depends." This will be stereo (2-channel) Audio.
PrE cannot Encode to DD 5.1 SS (6-channel), as it lacks that Encoder. Even PrPro needs the Minnetonka Audio SurCode Encoder plug-in (US$300 option) to do DD 5.1 SS Export.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio Won't Play Except From the Beginning

Hi, I'm currently trying to learn how to animate using Flash CC 2014.
So I understand that in order to import audio into Flash, you need to create a layer for it, which I have done successfully.
But my issue is that I've seen that in the past (in flash animation tutorials), if you scroll through the animation's timeline, you can hear the audio play from where you left off, and if you scroll, you can even hear the audio scroll backwards and forwards with your mouse. But when I do so, I can't hear anything.
I can only hear the audio if I play the animation from the beginning, but if I am going to be animating and lip syncing, it's going to grow incredibly tedious for me to have to play through the entire animation to hear what I need to animate next.
Is there a fix for this or is there a setting I have to apply so that audio I've imported plays wherever I continue from the playhead?
I'm using Flash on a Mac if it's any help as well.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Oh my god I feel like an idiot.
Yeah, I had Canvas open because it was the first thing on the list and I assumed it was synonymous to a blank document.
I opened it in ActionScript and changed the properties and it worked perfectly, thank you and @kglad so much, I can finally get some work done!
Thanks again for your help!

Some flash video/audio won't play

Hello, I'm using 10.6.7 and the lastest Flash plugin.
I've troubles with playback some flash video and audio in all browsers: Safari, Firefox 4, Chrome.
For example, Soundcloud.com works fine, but as a widget on other web-sites it doesn't work. Youtube and Vimeo — perfect, but BBC's videos won't play (ex., http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13054205).
Any ideas?

Your link works fine for me in Safari.
Check your "extensions" (browser add ons) for your browsers. Some may conflict.

Menu music won't play iin Center Stage theme?
