Muted Video

First of all, hi to everyone on the forums.
Now, I've been having some troubles with the 'movies' section of iTunes lately. Whenever I import a movie (lets just assume its a music video of a friends band, to avoid bans, shall we?), it appears in the iTunes movies area. So I update my iPod, I've selected it to update movies and everything. It doesn't appear in my movies section.
Now, I got stuck here for quite a while. Eventually I found the 'convert selection for iPod' option. I clicked this, waited until it was converted, updated iPod, and, finally, the movie appeared on my iPod.
However, the movie has no sound (a horrible problem in music videos), either when I play it on the computer, or on my iPod.
So... does anyone know either why this happens or how to stop this from occuring? I'd appreciate a fix.
Thanks to anyone who tries to help!

I had this same problem. After some investigation it looks like the format that the origional file is in will not work on an iPod. You can see video but no sound, even when you play back the new converted file in itunes. If anyone knows how to fix this I too would like to know.

When i have a music track with muted video above I get a regular beep in the audio,how do I stop it?

The audio requires rendering.
Audio for FCE should be aiff format @48 kHz.
FCE can also use 32 kHz if the audio from a camera is 12 bit.

Muting Video

I am working in iMovie with many small video clips that I must mute. About 3/4 through the video it stops muting and brings out the sound in the video clips. Is this a regular problem as I have started from scratch 3Xs and it still does it? Is there a different way o mute video clip's sound?

well .. for some of mine that are NOT muted, iMovie mutes them .. for no apparent reason?
and also on export any way I do it, audio goes out of sync
it was not like that, this is bug, needs update

Playing Music while playing online muted video

I created a webpage that uses HTML5 video which has no audio so I have muted it using Javascript. I'd like to allow users of my site to play their own music while they watch the video but as soon as the video starts the music fades - regadless of browser. Any solutions/ideas???

Sorry i meant playing music on the new games you can download from Itunes. It works on the factory loaded games. thanks.

Muting Videos in imovie

Once I import a video clip, how do I mute the audio from that clip and play music over that video clip?

If you mouse-over the clip, a little blue box appears at the bottom left. Click on "audio adjustments". On the top of the popup screen, it shows the volume on the top of the screen. You can move the bar all the way to the left to make the sound level OFF. When you insert your music, you will not hear anything audio from your video.

Mute button for video.

I am using this code:
var vid=sym.$("Holder");vid.html('<video width="444" height="250" src="video/video4.mp4" type="video/mp4" controls ="controls" autoplay ="autoplay" muted ="muted"</video>');
to bring a video in. What I want to do is turn the controls on and have mute button on the stage that will mute and unmute the video.

with edgehero.js its pretty easy to do with class mute_videolink

Audio from video clip and layering

ok, I need help! I finally figured out how to take audio from a video clip and place it over pictures or layer it over other audio. Now, I want to start with a video clip, it happens to be an interview, cut away to some pictures or other muted video, and come back to the interview, all with the audio playing the whole time and lined up correctly....how do i do this? THANKS!!

Thanks David
I found this here http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#tutorial=extendaudio
To extend audio across multiple clips:
1. In the Project area, select the clip that contains the audio you’d like to extend into a second clip. Select the last few seconds of the first clip that contain the audio you want.
2. To split the first clip, choose Edit > Split Clip.
3. Control-click the selected clip and choose “Reveal in Event Browser.”
4. In the Event browser, Command-Shift-drag the clip to extract the audio and place it at the start of the next clip.
5. Delete the video portion of the clip you split in step 2.
Because you’ve extracted the audio from exactly the part of the clip you split, the audio seamlessly plays across the next shot
I am going to try this tonight and see how easy it is

My new user experience with PP5.5 (not so great)

I just wrote up a very long post and I seem to have trouble posting it -- "Cannot post now" error, even though I can post in the testing forum. This is a short post to see if it works...

11. Once I had my clips laid down and the video synced up, I started to think about audio. I had 3 tracks of audio: a mono track from the G12, and Channel 1 and Channel 2 from the JVC, both of which were different mics. It turned out that we ended up using Channel 1 from the JVC everywhere, but that was partly because it was easier to do and I didn't know what I was doing. It appeared that there was no easy way to tell Premiere to seperate out the Ch1/Ch2 audio in the sequence where the clip was laid down, possibly because I had Captured clips with the wrong audio setting (I didn't specify multichannel -- was it an option?) Instead, I had to go the the Project Window, select the clip, and choose Clip > Audio Options > Breakout to Mono. Then that gave me a pair of independnt left/right clips with just a mono track, and I could lay those down the timeline, and sync them up manually with the existing video. This sync was easy since the left edges matched up 1:1, since of course the video and audio were recorded together by the same camera. Then I had to unlink the original ("stereo") tracks and delete them. Was there a better way?
12. The aforementioned Breakout to Mono function is hard to find! If you select a clip in the Project window, one of the choices in the context menu (rightclick) is Modify > Audio Channels. It looks like it might be the right thing but everything is grayed out and there's no way to convert stereo to mono. It's particularly confusing that there is a lot of overlap between that context menu and the menubar Clip menu, but not enough. It seems like there should either be complete overlap or almost no overlap. But the degree of partial overlap makes it hard to find things, and hard to remember which menu you found them in.
13. Having established four sequences, each with two video tracks and 1 audio track, it was time to do the multi-camera editing. I found the multi-camera documentation and the whole paradigm somewhat confusing. That is, it seems weird that I have to lay down both of my clips into a container sequence (as V1 and V2), and then place that container sequence into an overarching parent sequence in order to do multicamera editing. Am I missing something? Why the extra level of indirection? In addition to being a bit nonintuitive, when I have my final sequence, it means an extra level of double-clicking (except that doesn't always work, so sometimes going back to the project window to find the constituent sequence/clip).
14. In each of my lowest-level sequences (that contained the clips directly), I had marked In and Out points. I was surprised to find that that didn't seem to affect their placement in the container sequence or the multicam clip that contained that sequence. I figured I must have done something obviously wrong, so just ended up trimming those sequences in their parent sequences. This turned out to be error-prone (left some gaps), but it got the job done.
15. The process of multi-cam editing wasn't really smooth. The interface for recording multicam edits didn't seem very amenable to adjustment, and it seemed like hitting '1' or '2' on the keyboard obviated the need to press the Record button, but not always. And restarting playing/recording sometimes meant that a duplicate multi-cam edit was recorded, though sometimes multicam edits were lost. It was confusing, but functional.
16. Editing existing multicam edits in the timeline was awkard. I see now that probably I should have used the ripple edit tool or rolling edit tool to do those edits, instead of the default arrow tool. But messing with those tools somehow we managed to get some video/audio misalignments (or at least convinced ourselves that we did!) or loss of sync, so we paniced and restrited ourselves to the regular pointer/arrow tool.
17. The multicam documentation linked to prp2it_multicam.pdf, but those instructions from 2006 are marked as for Premiere Pro 2.0. I wasn't sure that they were safe to use in Premiere Pro CS5.5...
18. In the multicam monitor window, there was space for 4 cameras. But I only had two. No way to compress the window to only show 2 cameras? That seemed a bit wasteful of screen real estate.
19. Having done the rough multicamera edits and then gone back and tweaked them, we were then concerned about audio. Some of the clips had higher gain audio than others,so I wanted to do gain corrections, generally to an entire clip. The first approach we tried was opening an audio clip in the source browser and applying the Volume Level effects control. But this would only give a 6dB boost. Why?
20. Next, we discovered that we could select a clip in the Project browser and choose Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain. Here it appeared that the clip gain could be arbitrarily changed. It would be nice to have an interface to see all the places that a clip or a sequence's audio gain could be adjusted, since having several places to check was a bit confusing. Also, Audio Gain has both a "Set Gain" and and "Adjust Gain" and their interaction was not 100% clear.
21. At this point, we were basically done. First shot at exporting to a DVD was via File > Export...Media MPEG2-DVD. it seemed to work OK, but then right as the progress bar was finishing, we got this gem:
it lasted for more than a few seconds and was definitely not confidence-inspiring.
22. At this point it was 3am in the morning and mistakes were starting to be made. Consultation of the manual appeared to suggest that it was feasible to export to a DVD without using Encore, especially if one wanted to forgo menus. That sounded great to me, so I took the resulting .mpg file and rightclicked in the finder and chose Burn to disc... Well, that was a coaster. But I think the documentation could have been a lot clearer. Still, lack of VIDEO_TS and whatnot should have clued me in, right?
23. Managed to cons up a menu in Encore and burned the .mpg file to disc, producing a playable DVD. I gave up trying to figure out how to do it without a menu.
24. Having produced the DVD deliverable, there was then a request for color correction. Of course this is not surprising, why would a Canon G12 match a JVC HD100U? No way! Back in Premiere Pro, I foudn it very difficult to figure out how to color-correct camera 1 of the multicamera against camera 2. If I used the multicam stream, there were 100s of broken-up clips every time there was an edit. I certainly didn't want to color-correct every one of them. I really just wanted to apply a correction to all of Camera 1 and another one to all of Camera 2.
25. So I opened up the sequence containing both cameras (that is later imported into a parent sequence and marked as multicamera). Could not find a way to get the Reference: window to show one camera while the color correction window showed another. Ultimately we ended up muting video channels in the sequence temporarily such that the sequence/program window showed one clip or the other clip, while the source window showed another. But it seemed like it should have been possible to display both clips against each other for purposes of color correcting one or the other.
So, I think that's about it. I suspect there's a lot I did wrong, and certainly if I had more than a few hours I would have taken the time to learn the program properly (and still will!). But there are still a lot of spots where the program could be better.
Anyhow, thanks for listening. Cheers!

How to avoid music wrapping around new clip placed before it(imovie'11)

Hi. My project starts with a quick fade to black transition and a muted video clip with music wrapped around them both. My project is about 21 minutes long and there are many other muted clips with music tracks over them and, of course, they all are placed perfectly for my needs.
Well I want to add some new video clips at the beginning of all I have done so far. But when I add a new video clip to the beginning of the project, the green music bubble "wraps" around my newly added video clip. If I start to try to move things back in place, all goes haywire, so I end up undoing everything to get back to where I was.
Is there a way to add a new video clip to the beginning of my project without the music moving back to wrap around it?
Thank you!!

Do you know how to use the volume adjustment line?
If so, is it not working?
Can you post a screenshot of your audio?

Insert Flash Video MUTED

Hi,
I have an embedded FLV in a Dreamweaver page, inserted using
the
Insert > Media > Flash Video menu item and using the
Clear Skin 1 skin. Everything's been working well, but now
the client would like the movie to start MUTED with the option for
the user to turn the mute button off (or turn volume on).
I've tried using FlashVars (value="volume=0") and that
doesn't seem to work.
Is there some easy way of doing this or do I have to go back
to Flash and do it there?

Video Sound muted after a few minutes

Hi, guys. Since i updated my ipod and this happened a few time already. Video was playing fine but after a minute, the audio muted. Annoying, everytime i need to rewind so the sound will be back on. But again after a few minutes, the sound muted. Everytime i needed to rewind back a little to get back the sound on. Any idea of how to fix this problem?

You have to "update" it back to v 1.0 in order to stop these problems. It seems every single Ipod in existance will act this way with movies not bought through iTunes with ver 1.1.
Someone should sticky a thread where it's explained how to revert back to v. 1.0 and that it's currently the only way to prevent these stupid freezes.

Muting/deleting original noise/audio from video

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and new to Macs in general. I would like to know the following:
I have a video of a road-trip in which the noise of the car features
heavily. I've added a track to go over it but no matter what I try
the noise from the car is still there. Is there a way of tuning this out and only having music playing? Same would go with people's voices...is there a way of muting that? I know you can do a voice over, but will that dim the voices?
Thanks in advance,
P.S. I have iMovie 09

i am having an issue and a question. i want to mute all the audio from all clips. the only audio that should be playing is the music that i insert. i know this is a basic process. i click on the clip and select mute under edit or under the audio section move the volume bar all the way to 0.
for some reason, this most recent time i opened up imovie to resume more editing, the audio of the clips were on again. when i click the clip to mute it, it says that it is already muted and the volume bar is set at 0. what the heck is going on?
please help.

I cannot play videos on 60GB Video without it halting and muting

I have used several programs over the last few days to convert different videos to MP4 format, and while the videos play fine inside of iTunes, they mute after a couple of minutes on the IPOD itself. This has happened for 100% of my converted MP4 files. I even used a muxer/demuxer to run the MP4 files through before putting them on the IPOD.
Basically, they'll play fine for perhaps 2 minutes, but then the sound will go, the video will halt... and although the video will start back up again in 10-15 seconds, the sound won't... at all. I can rewind or fast forward a bit and the sound will come back, but it'll mute again within a minute... every time. It doesn't matter what the converting program I've used... it happens to every one of them.
Yes, I have tried converting before I used the Update tool and after. Same problem before and after. The thing that gets me is that all my video podcasts work fine. They work all the way through without error. However, converting or just finding an MP4 file from somewhere and putting it on... will not work. It will halt 100% of the time.
My iTunes is up to date. My firmware is up to date. My Quicktime is up to date. Some help here would be nice to get. I hate to have spent all that money for a 60GB Video IPOD and basically be worthless for the main reason I got it.. play all my videos on. Thanks.

Eric,
The problem is most likely software version 1.1. You will want to go back to 1.0
