Missing Audio Media from iMovie

I am exporting a project in the usual way (via media browser), but get the 'Missing Media" message referring to one audio track I have imported via the iTunes folder. This file, (along with a second audio file which is OK), both show in the right place when I 'Reveal in Finder'. The file is there when I check the 'missing file' path given in the error message. The project plays absolutely fine.
Earlier in the editing I dragged and dropped an audio file with the same name into the project from another folder from outside of iMovie. (Didn't actually know you could do this with iMovie, but it seemed to work !) Subsequently I needed to re-edit the audio, deleted the original file from the project and saved the new file to the iTunes folder and them dragged it into the project via iTunes.
I have deleted the audio from the project and iTunes (several times) and re-saved my work but without success. I tried renaming the file to import and at one point the file name given in the "Missing Media" error was not the same as the file I imported.
Is iMovie trying to find my original file, and if so how can I delete it.

Hi
Have no idea - But I do this another way and have near to Zero problem with Audio in any of my projects in iMovie or FinalCut.
• I never use any .mp3 audio or other alient formats - all converted to .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz
• In iTunes I do
- Collect needed sounds into a New PlayList
- BURN this as a standard Audio-CD (still .aiff - not .mp3)
- use the files on this CD in my movies
And by doing so I nearly never get any problems with AUDIO - I hit a lot of other's - but this is very rare to me.

Facebook has challenged the copyright of a movie using iMovie audio. Am i allowed to share movies made using audio clips from iMovie?

Just curious as to why it's coming up as a copyright violation?
Hard to say. I think FaceBook errs on the side of abundance caution when they detect anything that sounds like music.
It's also possible to that people use samples of various pieces of iLife audio contest to create a piece of work that they then copyright.

Can I save audio only from iMovie video...?

Sure.
Choose Share>Export Using QuickTime. Then select Sound to AIFF from the Export dropdown menu.
The resulting will be an audio only AIFF file. The Sound to AU or Wave work in the same way and will create audio files of those file types.

Missing Audio / Sound in imovie with .AVI files when imported from iphoto

fortunately i don't need this answered, eventually figured it out my self, just thought it would be helpful to share the solution to this problem as I'm sure others have experienced it. The problem makes more sense when explained chronologically.
My wife has a Casio digital camera, and had recorded many Movies on it, they all sat in iPhoto all worked fine until i upgraded to Quicktime 7.5, then the audio disappeared. i tried in vain to fix (reinstalled QT 7.5, removed plugins, reinstalled etc.), but to no avail, so i left it - this was all under Tiger, i decided I'd upgrade to Leopard and see if the problem went away.
Before upgrading to Leopard i got iLife 08, when i first launched iMovie08 it pulled in all the movies from iPhoto, but they too had no sound.
Then i upgraded to Leopard, now the quicktime missing audio issue got fixed, so i could hear the audio again when launching quicktime via iPhoto (turns out the issue was with how quicktime was handling adaptive PCM audio stream) - i expected all would be fine in iMovie... but it wasnt.
after much experimentation i realised that i had to force iMovie to re-import all the video from iPhoto, this fixed the issue, but with no obvious way to do this, this is what i did:
- opened finder, navigated to iphoto library, right click and chose 'show package contents'
- navigated to the data folder and did a search on this folder only for all movie files (when imovie had originally converted iPhoto movie files into thumbnails it dropped all the thumb size movie files in this folder)
- deleted all the movie files from the Data folder, making sure not to delete the movie files in any other folders & emptied trash
- launched imovie, now all the iphoto movies were missing.
- re-launch iPhoto, whilst holding down shift, option + command keys
- checked 'rebuild the iphoto library database' only, once done, closed iphoto
- re-launched imovie, this forced it to re-import all the movies from iphoto
... and then the sound was back.
FYI
this worked when using...
OS 10.5.4
QT 7.5
iMovie 7.1.4
iPhoto 7.1.4

Hi MGW,
I do not no how things are handled when using HDV and technical documentation is hard to find on this topic of how photo are handled using HDV but in iMovie and most non HDV video editing software the picture is always 72ppi regardless of what is was/is on the outside and the images that appear the worst are the ones with less.
On a side note I don't use iPhoto because of all the superfluous files and thumbnails it creates and it disorganises my photos according to criteria that is completely irrelevant to me. I have had these thumbnails pop up in the browser in the past primarily with any photos that existed in the library prior to any updates. With what I have been working on as of late can understand how and why this could happen.
If you scroll through the media browser dose it appear that the library you are working with duplicates itself somewhere along the line or do you see double images side by side?
What are you machine specs and please include you screen/display size and graphics card information as this is the most relevant information at this point with what you are doing.

URGENT! Missing audio files from a live recording due to Logic crash

Hi,
yesterday, in the middle of a (low budget) live recording, Logic gave me an error message saying "disk too slow" and stopped recording.
I was using the internal drive. I know this is not a proper habit, but I would have never thought that Logic could complain about the drive slowness with 2 tracks/24bit/44,1khz. Instinctively I pressed * at once but this caused the sequencer to start recording back from bar 1, making the previous 27 minutes of recording disappear, even from the audio files directory.
Is there anything I can do to recover the two AIFF files and avoid lots of swearwords from the customer?

Thanks for the sympathy musicspirit...
About Logic crashing... Actually, Logic didn't "crash", that is, the application didn't quit. It only stopped recording, displaying that "disk too slow". If truth be told, the timeline remained red, it stopped recording the two tracks. Then I pushed the "record" key and it started recording back from bar 1. As soon as I realised that it wasn't displaying the previous 27 minutes of recording anymore, I stopped the transport and something even more strange happened... Logic rendered the overview of the newly recorded two audio regions and started prompting error messages about one of them being an 8-bit audio file. Moreover, I had the Roger Nichols Inspector plugin open and in the meantime it went crazy too, displaying "9999" in the clips/consecutive clips/etc. counter.
I was listening with my headphones plugged into my Fireface and I can tell you that the audio coming from the soundcard was perfect during the Logic "crash". It never stopped, clipped, popped or anything similar.
About the audio path, audio file name... I always double check the audio recording path before starting a recording and it was exactly where it should be.
After the crash I recorded the second part of the gig on an external FW hard drive and everything went smooth. I simply can't find the audio files of the first 27 minutes anywhere on the drive. However I found out pieces of them with Data Rescue II among deleted files, but they are corrupted (interrupted by pink noise and square waves - BTW I plan to save one of them labelling it with "how an audio file dies").
It is really strange that such a powerful program (as Logic is) doesn't save an audio file if for some reasons it stops recording and you press record again...

How to export audio track from iMovie '11

I found that the sound from the video recording of a live band worked pretty well for my purposes (listening for problems). But I don't need the video itself for some things. Is it possible to just grab the audio from the video and save it as just a sound file? I tried messing with iMovie but couldn't figure out a way yet.

You can detach the audio then copy and paste it around if you have other clips in the time line but if you want all the audio from a clip or group of clips put them in a project and do a custom QT export and export "Sound to AIFF file". Import that as an audio track in iTunes or drag directly on to another movie clip.

How can I import "extracted audio" clips from iMovie project into iTunes?

I imported my home video into iMovie HD 6.0.1 and extracted the audio. How can I get the extracted audio clip (aiff format) into my iTunes playlist?

Genny,
I just tried to answer your question over in the iMovie forum. Have a look over there.

Export audio clip from iMovie?

Is it possible to export an audio clip that I recorded in iMovie to iTunes or GarageBand? I have a couple of recorded sounds in one of my iMovies that I'd like to use in another movie.

1. Choose File->Export...
2. Click the Quicktime icon at the top of the export dialog
3. In the Compress movie for: popup menu, choose Expert Settings. Click Share.
4. In the new dialog box, set the Export popup menu to "Sound to AIFF".
5. Click the options button and select: Format - Linear PCM, Channels - Stereo, Rate - 48.000kHz, Quality - Normal, Sample size: 16 bits. Leave the other checkboxes unchecked. Click OK. (Next time you can use "Most Recent Settings" because it will remember what you did.)
6. Give it a name and navigate to where you want to save it. Then click Save.
7. Import the AIFF file into your new movie.

Where are all the Video FX and Audio FX from iMovie HD?

Exactly! I tried looking for them, but all I found were: Music and Sound Effects, Photos, Titles, and Transitions.
iMovie HD had things (under "Editing") such as: Video FX and Audio FX, and also had waaay more choices of Titles, and a couple extra Transitions.
Is there a way that I can find all the stuff iMovie HD had on iMovie '08 without using iMovie HD?

Many reviews of iMovie 08 recommend using both iMovie 08 and iMovie 06 (I do).
When iLife 08 is installed, all of the old applications are automatically deleted EXCEPT iMovie 06, because Apple WANTS you to have it.
The Web site below has a good comparison of iMovie 08 and iMovie 06.
http://www.geethree.com/slick/imovie8.html
Apple includes iMovie 06 as a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

To save storage space, how do I remove unused audio files from iMovie on my iPhone.

I'm using iMovie on my iPhone 4S and I'm unable to export my movie due to space restrictions. So I went to clear out some memory space but still it wasn't enough. Then I noticed there are about 20 audio files that I don't need in the movie. But there doesn't seem to be a way to delete the files. Am I wrong? Can I get them off the iPhone to free up more space?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Missing Audio waveforms from Project window

I'm hoping anyone can help me. I'm trying to customize volume within a range of a song. I've dragged the audio into my project timeline, however no matter what I try I cannot get the waveform to appear. I've tried absolutely everything I can think of including reverting layout of the project window.
I've worked with audio in projects before and feel I have a fair bit of experience with it but this one has really baffled me.
As you can see from the image attached, waveforms from other audio clips are showing up just fine but the song running along the bottom, no workie.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A period only has a UNIX function if it is the FIRST character in the name! (hide file from Finder view), so that is not the issue here. ;-)
And Tom, why should the audio be AIFF?? I drag mp3/m4a files from iTunes ALL the time, without any issues - FCPX even has a native, build-in iTunes browser, so requiering AIFF seems strange, unless FCPX transcode it when it's dragged in!

Missing Audio Assets From Merged Clips

One of my original source tapes of an interview had distorted audio. So I imported the separate audio recordings for that tape into my project manager. I then created a new Sequence on my Timeline. I then dropped the original source tape with the distorted synched audio into that sequence. I then dragged the matching double-system audio into the sequence and proceeded to line up that double-system audio against the original distorted audio tracks of the source tape.
Once synch was complete, I Unlinked and deleted the old distorted audio track, leaving only the double-system audio. I then used the Delete Tracks command to eliminate the old original audio track, making the new audio track the A1 audio. I then used the Synchronize command, followed by the Link command. I understood this would merge the two assets into one new clip.
My problem is that although this new merged clip exists as the new sequence I created and is perfectly synched, when I now edit it in my Source Panel, and then use Insert, the video portion appears on the Timeline, but never any audio. I then checked the original video tape file (the distorted audio) from which I had created the new merged file (sequence) and found that it too does not bring audio with it when Inserted onto the Timeline. In both cases the edited video portion shows up but never any audio.
I cannot discover why the audio assets are not being associated with either the old video footage or the newly created merged clip with the double-system audio. Any offers of help would be appreciated.

You probably don't have any audio tracks targeted.

Exporting Audio/Voiceovers from iMovie?

So, a while back I made a video using iMovie '08, and I had my boyfriend record some cello tracks for the video using the Voiceover option. Since then, I've learned how to use Final Cut Pro, and now I'm re-editing said video using Final Cut. I really want to use those cello tracks for the re-edit of the video, and I was wondering if there was a way for me to somehow get them off of the iMovie project? I tried simply clicking and dragging, and I tried to see if I could export them or something like that, but it didn't work. Is this even possible?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi
I think it's the same procedure as in iMovie previous versions
• Go to top menu-list
• Select Share - Export
• Select QuickTime -
• and here QuickTime Expert mode -
• and here As Audio only and .aiff
• and save to desktop - easy to find
Use this file in FinalCut - Works greatly

Extracted audio cleanup from iMovie

Have converted old analogue video of school production to clips in iMovie. Have extracted audio (too much 'hiss'), and imported into Logic Pro, applied a Denoise filter and saved as an audio file. Problem is that when I reimport into iMovie the audio file is out-of-sync (though now it sounds great!). Any advice?

hi macmacmac....(say it fast and it sounds like a duck ;))
Welcome!
Anyway, have you tried this?
