My iMovie project has sound, but no sound when burned in iDVD

I created a movie in iMovie then burned the disc in iDVD. The sound is good when I play the project in iMovie, but after I burned the disc in iDVD I cannot hear any sound. What should I do?
THanks

The following info was obtained from the Apple knowledge base:
Delete encoded assets from the project.
Burn another disc or Save as Disc Image, mount the image and test in DVD Player and then burn your DVD with Disk Utility.
This issue can also occur if third-party (non-Apple) QuickTime plug-ins are installed. If the issue still occurs after trying the steps above, check for third-party plug-ins in ~/Library/QuickTime/ and /Library/QuickTime. Move these to the desktop, and then log out and log back in to the computer

I have a Panasonic FZ38 HD camera. I can load and view my hd movies onto iMovie with no problems via my camera or a card reader. When I try to copy my hd videos from my old Windows pc to my new iMac, the picture speed has doubled but the sound is normal.

I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ38 HD camera and have lots of hd movie clips stored on my old Windows Pc using Photofun software supplied by Panasonic, which I want to transfer to my new Imac computer. I am able to copy my most recent movies that are still on the memory card from my camera onto Imovie and view them with no problems at all. When it comes to copying my old existing hd movies stored on my Windows Pc (and which are no longer stored on a memory card), I discover that when I view them on the Imovie, the speed has doubled but the sound is normal. In order to transfer my old movies I have copied them back onto a memory card (SDHC - the same card as previously used) and then put the card back into my camera and then copied them onto my Imac via the camera USB. I have also used a card reader but get the same result. If I view the same movie through my camera, or look at it on my old pc, it plays at normal speed. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening please?

have you read and watch the Tutorials..? :
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
iM is a bit.. iffy, when it comes to the definition, what a 'camera' is. historically, only tape based machines were a movie-camera. nowadays still-cams allow movin' images too..
but, as mentioned above: the intended workflow is: material from photo cameras (even when they move) => import via iPhoto; material from video cameras (even when they don't move.. ) => iMovie
when the import is done, you'll notice in all iLife apps the 'media browser' - in iM09, on the very right, the icon with a camera on.. click it, presto, all (incl. your 'videos') your iPhoto Library at hand for usage in iMovie.

What is the driver version for your NVIDIA GeForce GT640?
There is a known issue specific to Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA GeForce. The Announcement at the top of this forum tells it all - detailed description of problem, references, fixes, and fix details.
The following is a copy paste of that Announcement....
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card
and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your
first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that
it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and
unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer
has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back
the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver
roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10.
Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for
the driver roll back can be found http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
Please refer to the following for the driver version history of your NVIDIA card
Based on history, you should be using

I've bought a Digital AV Adapter to be able to connect my Iphone 4g to the TV. I only get sound but no picture when I look at TVPlay-canals. Photo gallery OK. I have updated my phone to the latest version IOS. Any solution?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your phone doesn't do mirroring, only the 4S will do that. It only does basic AirPlay.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).

The music i've put into an imovie project has stopped working. How do I get it back?

The music i've put into an imovie project has stopped working. How do I get it back?

As far as I am aware, I have always used the standard keyboard and texting apps that came with the phone. There is no swype option on the keyboard any longer. The keyboard is just standard numbers and letters that have to be pressed individually. When I go to settings to try to change anything in swype, it looks as it would if swype were working - it shows all the settings for swype are correct - it just doesn't show up when the keyboard pops up for any apps or function on the phone.
I placed the phone in SafeMode and still not able to use swype.

Imovie project when burned thru idvd looks horrible

I have worked for several months on making my first Imovie. It is about 1hr in length. It combines both narration, video, soundtrack and still images. When I previewed the project on imovie looked great. I can also export thru quicktime and it looks good, but not as good as it does in imovie. When I followed the directions on how to export to Idvd, I was unaware of how poorly the finished project looked in Idvd. I burned it and was let down as all my titles where pixelated and the still images are combing real bad. Also some of the images are jerky in the ken burns effect. I find this frustrating as I can save it as a quicktime file and it looks pretty good (but not as good as in imovie). It appears to me that everything I have tried as far as importing to idvd looks horrible when Idvd gets done with it. In fact even the Idvd menu I made looks pixelated and horrible. I am making this dvd to sell to others and to present at talks I am giving. The quality is so poor I am thinking about bagging the whole project. I noticed on the forums regarding both idvd and imovie many of the questions about the quality degredation in idvd dont get answered. Or when they do get answered, the answer is to purchase final cut or more software in general. What I want to know is can I make my excellent looking imovie look acceptable in idvd? If not, why? Why would mac make a option to make a movie project look good in imovie, but the only way to export it is to make it look horrible? Also, is there a way to make a dvd in idvd that looks as good as my Imovie project (without dropping 1,000$ for more software which I am not going to do as now I don't trust it until I see it first)? What am I missing here?

Hi Adam,
Just some general comments about exporting from iMovie '09. From posts on the forum, and from my own experience, it's best not to use Apple's preset export option "Share to iDVD". You may not have used this, but it produces an AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) movie that doesn't look good when burned through iDVD, for some reason. Odd, considering that iMovie edits in this format. _The option "Share to Media Browser" gives much better results._
You don't mention what format your source footage is (to the best of my recollection). This may have a bearing on the final result (burned DVD). Is it DV or AVCHD or some other format? iMovie '09 has a reputation for producing less than stellar results with DV footage, due to the way it handles interlaced material. AVCHD footage turns out quite well on DVD after editing in iMovie.
If you have not already tried this, export using "Share to Media Browser". In iDVD, from the Media tab, drag your movie into the background area of the iDVD theme, then proceed to set up the DVD as usual. When sharing to the Media Browser, you have a range of sizes to select from. Try Large (960x540) and also HD (1280x720). I've used both but see little difference, if any, in the final DVD. But I do get quite good results with both. The picture is softer and less saturated when compared with the original AVCHD footage viewed via the camcorder on an HD TV. This is to be expected, given one is HD and the other SD, of course. But it shouldn't be as bad as you are describing.
There are many posts about DVD quality on the forum. As you would be aware, some offer very good advice. Try different methods using a short test project to see what gives the best results for you. Look out for an e-book by Steve Mullen - not free, but some good tips there.
Hope this helps in some way. Quality issues can be frustrating!

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use or to export to iDVD and burn VD from there? Why?

Is it better to export an iMovie project as QT and use Toast to burn a DVD for general use - or to export iMovie project to iDVD and burn DVD from there? Why?

Toast probably maintains better quality if you are just doing simple conversion direct from your camera straight into Toast and then to DVD. There's a lot less transcoding steps and loss of quality in that direct to DVD disk creation in Toast. However, having said that,...There's good arguments probably for both.
What I've seen promoted most often (as most people don't have Toast or aren't motivated to buy it) is to Share to Media Browser (choose the Large size option) and then from inside iDVD click the Media Button and the Movies button to find the project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Drag that project into your iDVD project and burn the disk.

My iMovie project has no sound, can I fix this?

My son created an iMovie project today and the sound was working like it should. When I got home, he tried to play the movie but there was no sound. I still heard sounds when I increased the computer volume up and down. I went to the "Media" section in iMovie and selected a song and clicked "Play", but NO sound. I then went into the project using finder (Show package contents) and found the .mov file and played it with Quicktime. The sound was working fine. Logged him out and back, no sound. Restarted the mac, still no sound. Exported the movie (Shared) and played it, sound was working fine.
Are there any cache or preferences that I can remove that might correct this problem. I've seen this problem in the past, but not recently until now.
We are running iMovie HD on a G5 PPC running Tiger.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Hi
My Suggestions (List) - 3a most probably the culprit.
*No Audio in iMovie*
Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.
Work around -
• in iTunes - Select needed audio into one new playlist
• Copy/Burn this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
• Use this CD and it's files in the movieproject
Other origins are
1. strange/ailient file formats as -
• .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc
• Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this
2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -
• Close iMovie and other programs
• Start GarageBand
• Make a new GarageBand-project and play some notes
• Close GarageBand and Save
• Now try iMovie again
*3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.*
a. in iMovie pref - deselect ”Playback via Camera”
b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this
without me knowing why.
4. iMovie’08 & 09 & 11
• Toogle audio-scimming by cmd-K

Sound, but no video when streaming a quicktime file through shockwave

When I stream a quicktime movie in the html file hosted on localhost using the Apache server, I get sound but no video. I saved the quicktime movie as part of my cast, linked to http://localhost/~username/mymovie.mov
When I play the quicktime movie itself in my browser, or in a projector, or just within director, the video and sound play simultaneously. But in the browser after converting the dir movie to a dcr and html file, and hosting the dcr and html files on the server, when I open the html file in my browser, only the sound plays. Anyone else encounter similar problems? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi guys,
here's some quick notes on how I handle shockwave videos with my projects.
I tend to find that .swf format videos work best under all browsers using shockwave
easiest way:
you can do a standard import of a .swf video straight into a your cast. (not linked)
the problem with this is it tends to create a large dcr file for you users to download
'preloadnetthing' way:
upload your videos to a url location - something like www.mywebsite.com/the_programs_title/dsmedia/videos/video1.swf
(I never use capital letters or spaces)
file - import - internet - <enter the full url pathname to the file>
this will add the file to the add list
set media to : Link to External File (Don't use Standard Import)
now press Import
at this point Director will try to connect to your url - and do a trial download of the linked file
if it works you should now see a new linked video cast member added to your cast
if it fails - (which mine tend to do half the time?) - try it again until it works.
Here I normally view the linked videos property inspector - and change its settings - I turn loop off - and make sure preload is not set.
now comes the code part
To get your videos to play correctly, you will need to preload them into memory, before you play them.
(although it's possible to stream videos - I've never been able to get this to work well - there is a whole bunch of lingo code to deal with streaming videos)
*** a frame script for preloading a swf video ***

end beginSprite

Edited iMovie Project has disappeared

I spent hours editing an iMovie project last night and now the project is no where to be found.
The project file is on one of the hard drives of my Mac Pro but the event is on an external hard drive (ejected properly after iMovie was closed properly).
Since I don't remember the name of the iMovie project, it could still be there in its original form before any of my edits because what I did was drop the footage into a project, edit partially and duplicate it before continuing. 2 duplicates of only the pre-duplication project appear.
Where the heck did my edited project go? Surely it was saved SOMEwhere because I undid and redid things along the way. It does not show up in a search for iMovie projects that I sort to list by date opened.
What happened? and how can I avoid this from ever happening again?
I would have had my completed project last night and none of this would matter if iMovie would have allowed me to share it last night, but instead when I tried, an error message appears claiming I needed more memory available to create the project. I had 4gb of available memory at the time (this glitch is listed in a seperate discussion thread. i am asking where my project went in this one).

If you have moved your iMovie project files out of the Movies/iMovie Projects folder, iMovie will not see them.
Similarly, if you have moved your iMovie Event folders out of the Movies/iMovie Events/ folder, iMovie will not see them. The solution is to move them back where they were. (And then restart iMovie)
If you want to move projects and events to an external drive to save space on your mac, you need to do it within iMovie. The instructions are as follows....
Moving projects: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613
Moving Events: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c
If you want to move projects and events to an external drive so you can edit them on another Mac, follow the instructions for consolidating media. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9

IMovie project has suddenly stopped working

I have a macbook pro OSX 10.7.5 with 2.5GHz intel core processor with 500G hard drive.
I have been working on a project in iMovie (9.0.9) for months now, and one day while editing everything started lagging really bad. I quit all the apps running and restarted the computer, even deleted a few big files that I didn't need and re-opened iMovie. The project I was working on wouldn't open or play back anymore.
The project was still visible in the iMovie project library, the project file is still in the finder, all the raw footage in my events works fine, and all the other projects in the project library open and play back as normal. Does anyone know what the **** happened!? Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

I am using iMovie 10 with Maverick but cannot share to burn to DVD...

I have spent hours creating a montage but find I cannot share to iDVD to burn to DVD. Does anyone have a suggestion?

How To Use Share With Maverick
In iMovie select the movie you wish to share from the library on the left.
Select “Share”
Select “File” (the name of the selected movie will appear)
Save to Desktop (this may take a while but you can check by double-clicking on that desktop icon which starts the movie playing in Quicktime. You can play the movie very quickly (say at 32 speed) to be sure it’s all there.
Leave iMovie open.
Insert a DVD
Open iDVD
Select the 3 small boxes icon next to the blue arrows in a circle.
When it opens, drag the movie icon from the desktop into the first box on the left (Not the “Cinema Chapters” box…and the movie title appears.
Insert a DVD disk and select the “Burn” icon-you will get a message that all’s not okay (There were warnings during the project validation. It is recommended that you fix these problems before burning the project) but ignore it and select “continue to burn”.
The movie burned just fine and I tested the DVD on our DVD player. However when I tried inserting titles down below in iMovie and Sharing to a File, when I went to test it by double-clicking on the desktop icon a got a message that it could not read the format (although in MP-4 just like the movie without titles. Tried this with Quicktime 7 and FlipMac-no luck. So when I dragged that icon into the first box on IDVD it also there could not recognize the format-I’ll keep working on this but at least I can now burn a DVD movie.

My iMovie project has sound, but no sound when burned in iDVD
