Movie/audio latency????

i've made a 28 minute movie, when i export out of imovie the audio from movie clips is scattered and audio that i've muted plays at different parts of the video.... i thought it was just a fluke so i re exported, but it still happened. the same audio was in the same parts on the video, it seems like it might be a latency problem, but i'm not sure.

Can no longer select or move audio clips on Narration track - what happened??

I began my first Adobe Premiere Elements 11 project this morning, a short video (5 mins) I intend to upload to YouTube. It's a comedy sketch involving inanimate objects that "talk", so it requires a lot of dialogue to be added to, in this case, the Narration track.
I am not new to Premiere Elements. In fact, I've done quite a bit of fairly complex editing on previous versions of the software (I upgraded to 11.0 from 8.0). I've never had this problem before.
After editing this project for well over 2 hours with no problem, I can suddently no longer move or even select any audio clip on my Narration track. They are just frozen and stuck there. Everything else works normally. I can select and move all other clips on all other tracks. Further, all audio clips will play, even the ones on the Narration track. However, I can no longer move, select, or even add any clip to the Narration track.
I opened a new project to see if the problem persisted, but it didn't - I could add, select, move audio clips on the Narration track just fine.
I'm stuck and bewildered. The project I've already invested 2-3 hours into seems permanently broken. The audio clips on my Narration track will play, but I can't select, move, or otherwise do anything to them.
My fear is not just that I'll have to start this project over again, but I'll never know when it will break again, and I'll lose all my work again.
Help!
Seriously, does anyone know what's happened?

Thanks for the details. As I suggested this idea that I had after reading this thread may be just nonesense, but I thought it would be interesting to try.
This is recommended done with a copy of the project that you have now.
For now, let us assume that the missing track names are part of the locked Narration Track syndrome. I am not sure if your narration clip was generated in Premiere Elements narration feature or created elsewhere and brought into the program. That would be interesting information to have. But, nonetheless, moving forward with this idea.
Given you cannot move, delete, change, etc what is on this Narration Track. Whatever is on that Narration Track traces back to an original on the hard drive and probably is shown in Media Cache's (Adobe Folder) as conformed audio cfa and pek set.
a. Find the narration hard drive hard location and move it to a new location (special folder on hard drive). When you go back to the copy of the problem project, you should be greeted with one of those "Where is....?" messages. Cancel out of that. Do not do anything within that message dialog.
b. Right click the thumbnail for your narration in Project Media and select Replace Footage. Then browse to and select the original that you had moved to the computer desktop and the special folder there.. Click OK. That should restore the file (including whatever effects were made to the file) to the project.
c. Has any of that had any effect on unlocking the Narration Track?
Other maneuvers to try
a. Trying to locate and delete any cfa or pek files associated with the problem audio.
b. Switching to an Aero Theme for Windows if you do not have one set so far.
Thanks for giving all of that a look at.

HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
Or am I missing the bigger picture?

As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

Cannot transfer .mov audio from pages to epub

I am a total newbie at making epubs...
I have dragged a .mov audio file made in quicktime into my pages document. It is inline. The audio file works when I click on it (speaker icon) in the pages document.
After converting to epub, the speaker icon disappears and I have no audio available.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
I have pages version 4.1

It's interesting that 'they' have decided to NOT let folks on 10.4 produce an ePub (from Pages). I understand that I cannot 'do' the whole ePub consumer side on this machine but I was hoping to get a bit of a headstart while on the road. (The mini at home base is running 10.6 and is my ePub production environment. That version of iWork9 does have the later Pages, which is why I was surprised when I could not find the same UI on my 'travel' machine.)
As to why I don't upgrade the G4? I need one machine that can run Classic. So it will live at 10.4.11 for the rest of its life.
I have my fingers crossed that today's announcement will include a suitable Macbook Air update ... one that is not too wide and/or too high. (The 13" 'books have been too large a footprint to replace my trusty 12" so I've been holding out...)

Trying to import .mov audio file and burn as MP3

Can someone point me to a thread, or be kind enough to post answer, about how I might successfully import a .mov audio file and wind up burning it as an MP3. I've been dinking around with this for too long. I can import it and end up with it in the format: MPEG-1, Layer 3. But when I burn it to CD and play it on a Sony boom box, I hear nothing. I tried playing it in another iMac and hear nothing.
Thanks.

I was hoping someone in this forum could point me in the right direction to a web site that is designed specifically for Garage Band users that need sound effects.
Check out:
http://www.macjams.com/

These both are GarageBand-oriented.

Maybe you'll find something useful at one of them.

Move audio and video between tracks simultaneously

If I have a video clip on V1, with linked audio on A1, I would like to move them both to V2 and A2, respectively, at the same time. Is this possible? I like to work this way to easily keep track of which video goes with which audio.

There is a practical logic why one moves Audio and Video separately.
Audio does not care what track its on...but video does (layering).
Audio tracks are frequently checkerboarded ( A&B'd) to create overlaps and enable J & L Cuts to Video.
It would be too easy to overwrite audio if it chased video track for track.
You need to use track and source targeting to organise your timeline if thats your requirement.
If the Video and Audio are linked

Can I move audio in logic by the sample in the sample editor to compensate

I wanted a final say on wether or not I can move audio with sample accurate percision by moving the anchor in the sample editor with update in arrange page turned off. i just need a verification of this.
Thanks guys

yes you can and should use the sample editor to make
such compensations. you do this by aligning the
anchor point to the sample or part of the wave form
that you want to correspond to a beat or subdivision
(ideally) though of course it can be any point you
want it to.
if you use 'pickup clock; move object or event to
SPL' KC the anchor point will jump to the SPL.
Philip K is right though; if your entire track is out
by the same amount that you can measure you could use
the sample delay (though of course that will only
delay it not move it forward in time). but you won't
see the waveforms align themselves to the beat
meaning you would have to be aware that that track
has been compensated for.
on balance i would edit with the sample editor.
I was thinking that you could delay the rest
of your tracks by however many samples thus
aligning by compensating everything else though
in real world situations I don't know how practical
this would be. I keep forgetting that you can measure
how many samples you select in the sample editor even
if you cannot see them individually. So I will defer
to the voice of experience on this. If Rohan would use
the Sample editor, then I would tend to agree

Satellite A660-167 - audio latency actually really high

Hello guys.
I'm having a Toshiba A660-167 and i'm having a problem with the audio latency, it's actually really high.
I'm using Windows 7 home premium 64bit and i have allready tried to use windows 7 32bit and windows Xp but the problem remains.
Toshiba allready tried to ''fix'' my problem but as they said my laptop works perfectly.
If somebody knows something about latency problem his help will be highly appreciated..
thanks in advance

I already work for weeks daily on the poblem with audio dropouts on my A660.
The only thing that helps, is to connect a additional screen to my laptop. And there must run something with grafik. So it seems, the dropout problems come from NVIDIA, when it have not enough to work. (Of course i have the latest drivers).
I am really angry about this problem. When i work as dj i cannot place a second screen on the table. And when i record songswith my band i do not have enough place in our small studio too.
I bought the toshiba because i thought it is a fast thing. But on my old pentium pc with xp running, i never had any problems like this in 5 years.
I think the best solution will be to sell my 5 week old satellite, and never buy again anything from toshiba.

Stopping & resuming movie/audio after clicking button

I would like to have the following happen: User clicks a
button that says "Go to XYZ" ... The movie and the audio both stop
(pause actually) and the XYZ web page displays in another window.
Then, the user closes the XYZ page, and both the movie & audio
start playing again at the point where the user clicked the button.
I've figured out how to set it up so that clicking the button
displays the proper XYZ web page in a second window, and the movie
& audio stop when the button is clicked, but when I close the
second window I can't make the audio start back up. I can click the
"Play" button to make the movie start up again, but can't figure
out a way to make the audio come back. Is there a way? Ideally, the
movie & audio would play automatically when the second window
is closed, but that may be a technical feat beyond
my limited capabilities. Thanks, Alden

Happy to share, I'm still really a newbie (after all these
years) and I just figured this out, and I thought I'd spare the
explanation to make my question brief as possible to spare the time
of any Captivate expert (hint hint???) who might be able to help me
. If anyone needs to know how to do any of the rest of the stuff I
mentioned I'd be glad to share that too.
I see now that Rick beat me to the explanation of how to make
the audio stop. That's what I did. (Button properties / Options tab
/ Uncheck "Stop slide audio when clicked"
But now, what I would like to know is, is there any way to
get the audio to start back up again if the user closes the window
that the button opened?

In the timeline I want to move audio by less than a frame. How do I do this?

Hello Fox! Had to come to this page again when trying to know how to move the playhead in smaller increments. Did it and found that this method allows you to place the playhead at 80 locations of the frame! What a fine tuned editing shortcut!
If you let me know where this information related to shortcuts is available, it would be great.Thanks. Have agreat day!

Audio latency

I started podcast four months ago. I use a USB Blue Snowball microphone. I interview my guests through Skype. I had not noticed much of audio latency until over a month ago when my voice through the Snowball microphone took about 1-2 seconds to come out the speakers at times. The software I am using is Audio Hijack Pro 2.9.7. I have just found latency of my voice on the recent recordings from my guests'. What is the problem? What can I do to reduce the audio latency as much as possible? My iMac is 3.06 GHz with 4 GB RAM.
In the meantime, I found that if I use the analog microphone, there is no audio latency in the final recording. If you think this is advisable, what is the analog headset or microphone you would recommend?
Thank you very much.
Robert

BTW, I can switch to 2-channels at 24 bit for speaker but cannot set the Blue Snowball at 2-channels at 24 bit. Is at 24 bit will reduce the audio latency?
Thanks.
Robert

HT204370 My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1

My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1

Actually, try this instead. On the apple tv, under settings > Audio > Dolby digital
Change it From AUTO (default) to ON
That worked for me. All my eyetv encodes have stereo and 5.1 tracks. For some reason the auto option forces stereo. Setting it to ON forces the 5.1.
Everything sounds nice again! It's just stupid that apple puts AUTO for the default and that setting results in stereo not 5.1.

Move audio in iMovie

Hi!
How to move audio relative to video?
I have video and audio recorded separately. On my video camera is poore microphone sound when I'm away from the camera. So the sound I'm writing on a digital recorder. Then combine sound and video tracks in video editor.
How can i do this in iMovie? How can I move the sound relative to video?

Yes you can, just make sure you get the audio into an iMovie compatible file format before you drag it in. Easiest way to do this is to add it to your iTunes Library and let iTunes do the necessary conversion. When you are in iMovie, you will pull the audio track from the iTunes Browser window along the right side (It's a music icon on one of the buttons in a row). Drag from the iTunes Browser and drop it right dead center on the video clip where you want it to start. It should then take the form of a title box, just below the video clip. That box can then slide left and right to more closely match and sync with the video image.
