MOVs play fine, but Premiere won't play the audio

I have a bunch of MOV files (from a cheap digital camera) that will play fine on say VLC, and they import into Premiere CS5, but when I play them in Premiere, or put them into a Sequence, the video plays but the sound turns to a high pitched beep after 1 second. Every file does this, and all other files (including MOVs from different cameras) are working fine in the same sequence. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem, I'll tell you how I solved it. Understand that I am a newbie at video editing and Premiere Pro. I shot videos on a DSLR (.mov) and then transferred them to my computer. I then imported them into Premiere CS6. The videos played fine, and the sound bars indicated that audio was playing, but there was no sound. The clips I imported played fine in Windows Media Player. I did everything suggested on the forums, but to no avail. Then I thought of something no one else had suggested, and it worked!
I ordered my Rain Stratus computer already set up with Premiere CS6 installed. When I opened a new project, it by default chose Black Magic Design presets, since that is the video card I have. Being a newbie, I just went with that. But since the video I was importing was not captured by my Black Magic video card, it was the wrong choice. It took awhile to figure out, but I finally realized I needed to choose Digital SLR as the sequence preset when I created a new project. Then the audio worked!
One more thing I had to do, though, before it worked: in PremierePro, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware. I had to change the hardware from Black Magic Audio to Premiere Pro WDM Sound, click ASIO settings, choose my speakers, and then check the box marked "device 32-bit playback" (even thought I have a 64-bit computer.)
I hope that helps someone else from going through the same frustration.

I originally downloaded a movie to my iPad and it plays fine, however, it won't play through iTunes on my iMac...

I originally downloaded a movie to my iPad and it plays fine, however, it won't play on my iMac even though it downloaded. I can watch the iTunes extras but the movie won't play....

What happens you try to play it?
It syncs to the iPod okay?
Does it play okay in iTunes?

Rented a movie on itunes, but it won't play or transfer, why?

I rented a movie on itunes, but when trying to play it the computer prompts me "itunes has stopped working" and then crashes. Then when trying to transfer the rental, thinking it was possibly a computer issue, itunes then notifies me that it cannot transfer because my computer has not been authorized to play the movie. The rental movie was not only purchased and downloaded on an authorized computer, I also attempted to humor it and authorize it again, yet it remains in the same condition after several tries.
I was attempting to transfer it to an iphone 4s, but if there is a possibility of playing it on a computer it would be prefered. My operating system is Windows 7, if that helps.

I've seen this when downloaded to a computer/device that wasn't authorized. Try to re-authorize in case it (or someone else) became de-authorized again.

Audio is fine, but video won't play right!

I have just recently purchased a video that's about 22 minutes long. It plays fine for the first 10 seconds or so, but then video becomes choppy and, if I put up with it long enough, eventually freezes. The audio is fine, however. I have just downloaded the latest version of QuickTime, so having an old version is not the problem.
It's bugging me that the video won't play correctly. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks.

I really need this video to play right by Monday...

Skin plays fine but swf does not play at all...

I have tried everything and now have simply exhausted my
resources...
Video plays fine in flash cs3 pro, but when I attempt to get
it to play online (using the swfobject.js script), the skin plays
(motion in the seek bar - incessant), but not the video.
[Incidentally, the exact same thing happens when I use the
video1.html file, for what it's worth].
When I replace the video file with so_tester.swf, it plays
properly. This tells me that the html (included below) is right,
but that there is something wrong with the video itself. I tried
Import To Stage, Import Video, and Import To Library, to no avail.
I tried Publish, and Export Movie, to no avail. The flv was made by
exporting from QuickTime. Could that be the problem?
Uploaded to the server are: index.html (see below),
video1.html (not sure if this is needed), video.swf, swfobject.js,
expressinstall.swf, SkinOverAll.swf, and AC_RunActiveContent.js.
I have spent countless hours trying to figure this out. If
someone could please help, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Here is the entire html of the index page:

Never mind. I figured it out. Used component inspector to
solidify the source of the video, and that worked.

Videos in iphoto played before but now won't play

I tried to create a slideshow and fooled around with some videos in it. Now they won't play. Help!

By fooled around with some videos do you mean you just added some videos to an iPhoto slideshow? Did you try exporting the slideshow or just play it? Is your profile correct for the system and iPhoto versions?
What happens when you double click on a video to play it?

With newer MacBook Air, sending both video and audio to an LG TV works fine, but I want to send the audio to a sound bar attached to the TV. Any way to do this?

I am trying to get audio to play through the soundbar attached to the TV for great sound. Works fine with Apple TV, but on the MacBook Air, system preferences will only find the TV speakers. If I change the settings on the TV to external speakers (the soundbar), then I get no sound at all. The HDMI connection does what it is supposed to do, providing video and audio, but the audio can only go to the TV. I don't know if you can go backward and send only video through HDMI and then connect to the soundbar through the mini jack ports on the computer and the soundbar. Any solutions will be appreciated.

its important to do this in the correct order so the camera will be senced by the Mac and to prevent the Firewire connection from electrical damage:
power down your Mac
connect firewire from camera to Mac
power on camera and insert tape in camera and play back
power up Mac
start QuickTime
File > Preferences > record tab
video source - select the camera you have
sound source - select the camera you have
quality - select device native
the video should show in the QuicTime window
a green line below video will show presence of sound-it will play through the speakers if they are selected in system prefernces
rewind tape and playback
click on red button to start recording

Home sharing - can see movie on iPhone, but it won't play.

I've got home sharing set up on iTunes and in my iPhone 3GS. I'm in the process of testing the digitizing of my home DVD library into iTunes, and have made my first attempt. The film works fine in iTunes on my Mac, and I can see it on my iPhone, but when I try to play it it hangs for a second and then an error comes up that says "The operation could not be completed". I also have a couple of television episodes I purchased - they also show up on the iPhone and play with no problem. Any thoughts? The movie file is an .m4v - I wondered if that could be the issue?
Thanks,

Premiere moves to MAC but now won't recognise MAC audio files!

Go figure this - Premiere Pro 2 would allow importing aif audio files which is the standard MAC audio as wav is the standard PC audio file (Hey, i'm talking uncompressed audio here).
So they release Premiere CS3 which is cross platform and now I can't import any MAC aif files on the PC platform - I thought I was going nuts (and then realised I already was nuts anyhow...) so I imported a PPro 2 project with aif audio into a new CS3 project and all the aif's were 'off line'. 1 step forward 2 steps backward maybe?

That's weird. The
documentation says AIF is supported. Give Adobe a call to make sure.
Cheers

Music and videos start playing fine but randomly stop and the volume bar disappears

I have an iPhone 4S and run 6.1.3. I start to play music or videos (youtube, ESPN, Netflix, any) and they start to play fine but then randomly stop. The volume bar disappears as well. But then it reappears and I can play it again. When I do so it plays about 30 seconds, sometimes less, and pauses again. I have to repeat the process. Any idea how to fix or what might be causing the problem?

Try a reset:
- hold both the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iPhone will turn off(keep holding) but as soon as you see the apple logo appear release both buttons
Also make sure none of the LCI have been set off especially the one in the charging dock of the iPhone. Read the article below for help in checking this:

I have windows XP. I have a DVD that I was told was made in MOV. I have tried and tried to down load quicktime to play it, but all I can get is audio. It brings up the opening picture of the video then it stops there and plays the audio fine.

I have windows XP with 32bit. I have a DVD that I was told was make in MOV. file. I have down loaded and unloaded Quicktime several times and it is always the same. The audio plays fine, but the only video I get is the opening frame of the video and it stops there, but the audio goes ahead and plays? Any ideas??

It should play in QuickTime.
Try dragging the file from the mounted DVD to the desktop (it will copy). It may playback properly.

What can be done to correct slow video or freezing in Adobe Premiere Elements 12? Sound plays fine but the video is too slow to even start a project.

Sound plays fine but the video is too slow to even start a project.

film78
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to 12.1 yet? If not, please do so by using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
Not enough information in order to help you.
Looking for
1. Properties of source media (including file extension and brand/model/settings of camera that recorded the video).
2. Is problem restricted to one particular file in one particular project? What happens if you start a new project? What is the
duration and size of the project when performance is slow and freezing sets in? What are you doing in the program when this happens?
3. Using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
4. Does problem exist if antivirus and firewall(s) are disabled?
5. Please describe computer environment, including dating on video card/graphics card driver version. Did you install the program to the
default Local Disk C? Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free space there?
Lots more questions, but let us start here and then decide what next based on your reply.
Thank you.

I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook

I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook. All software is updated and current.

Hi I had this problem and tried all the usual deauthorize and the mini player fixes but they did not work for me. What worked in the end was I reset the play count on the movie (right click on the movie under the rented section of your library). I have no idea why this worked but it did.

HT1657 my movie rental downloaded but it will not play. I rented a movie yesterday so I know that my laptop is capable. I can see images of each chapter but the movie won't play. Any idea?
