No audio in clip

Hello
I've searched around and seen references to this topic
but I've not seen a definitive answer.
I have imported a dv clip but there is no audio
to be found. I extracted audio and there are no wave forms
visible.
I can hear audio fine during import.
I imported just a few seconds of the hour long clip
and could hear audio on that small portion, but when i
rewound and imported the whole thing......no audio.
I've been using imovie for years and never experienced this.
Any ideas?
thanks
Brian

I've had a similar issue. I have quicktime files that I imported into imovie yesterday and everything worked fine. opened the project up today to continue work and no audio.
similar issue or do I have a different problem?

Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5 Create Storyline with Audio-Only Clips in order to add crossfade transition.

Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.5 – How to Create Storyline with audio-only clips. I'm following exercises in Diana Weynand's Pro Training Series, and this function is greyed out. Trying to create crossfade transition. New Compound Clip can be activated however.

Chapter 7. Page 269. Exploring Audio Transitions. Selecting two audio clips, then control-clicking the clips. The dropdown menu to Create Storyline or (Command G) is greyed out. The function no longer seems to be available. I've found other functions that no longer apply with the latest version in relation to the book, and I assume that this is another one. But I'm trying to follow the book the best I can. I know there's a workaround. I can simply select an edit point and add the cross dissolve (Command T), but I wonder if this accomplishes the requested exercise from the book.

How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

I can tell you a work around to get you going in the meantime, just may be time consuming if you have a lot of clips in the timeline.
double click a clip missing audio
press the go to in point and copy the timecode to notepad
press the go to end point and copy timecode
right click clip, and reveal in project
double click the original in project
paste in timecode and set in & out points again
drag audio
As I said not the quickest way, but it works, and won't actually take as long as you'd think, 30 secs or so per clip, i just hope you don't have over 100 clips without audio

How can I separate audio and clips?

How can I separate audio and clips?

I guess you mean "audio and video clips".
Then select the clip including both audio and video (while in the timeline) and press cmd-L: this unlinks the stereo pair from its video. If you want to work on each audio channel separately press alt-L while the stereo pair is selected.

Relinking Deleted Audio to Clips

Is there a way to relink deleted audio from clips that were unlinked from their audio tracks that were then deleted? so basically, if I have a clip, cut it and edit it, unlink the video and audio, delete the audio, and then later want to have the audio again. One way would be to drag in the clip, align it with the old clip, copy all edits and delete the old clip, but I have a lot of clips. I thought one option would be to open the .prproj file in a text editor and change it there, as this has saved me hours of work on other applications. Can't find any info though on the file structure, and I could spend the better part of 2 weeks hunting this one down. If anyone has a fix, I would very much appreciate it. And Alt-dragging the source clip from the bin onto the old clip does not bring in the audio.
Thanks

There's no 'easy' way to do this. That's why it's best to never delete the audio from clips. Mute the track if you have to, but leave the clip in tact.

How do I speed up an audio only clip in iMovie?

How do I speed up an audio only clip in iMovie? I've added a song to a video clip and I'd like to speed up the song. I already sped up the video clip.

iM08 didn't have that feature.
• purchase iM09 (Disks) or iM11 (only avail via download/AppStore, you'd need MacOS10.6 doing so)
• or use a free 3rd party tool, workflow described on my website:

Return audio to clips in timeline after muting

First let me thank you for helping me on how to import my clips, taken with a JVC, to PrE7 from my hard drive.
After getting media into the timeline and sceneline I muted the clips as I was reviewing them to remove any noise or to shorten any clip. I now want to turn the audio back on for these clips without having to go to each individual clip in the timeframe. Can this be done or do I have to bring back the audio one clip at a time. Appreciate any help.
CalJim

Just tried that and it worked. Thanks so very much sure saved me quite a bit of
time. Now to take a shot at inserting narrative and other audio as well as some interesting effects.
Thanks again to you and Steve.

What do you do if you need to adjust the audio mid clip?

In Final cut X can you adjust the audio in the middle of a clip? It seems that the fades are only at the beginning and end of each clip. What do you do if you need to adjust the audio mid clip?

Range tool (click R)
select range
drag audio line ...

During FaceTime audio oftened clipped and even went mute

During FaceTime audio oftened clipped and even went mute. Any hints to stabilize the audio?

if any of the people have an internet connection which is not up for it in terms of speed that could happen
one can try to make an audio only facetime session which should work ok if it's a bandwidth issue

Breaking Link Between Audio/Video Clips

Although this question I'm sure is simple, i'm not finding it in any of the documentation.
I need ONLY the Audio portion of some of my Audio/Video Clips. I can't break the link, so that I can slide the Audio Clip around on the time line. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Either hold down the OPTION key before you click on the audio, or look on the button bar above the timeline on the right. There are two default buttons, one being LINKED SELECTION. Turn that one off and audio and video will disconnect.

My connected audio only clips moved from below to above the timeline. What happened? How do I get them below the timeline again?

My connected audio only clips moved from below to above the timeline. What happened? And how do I get them below the timeline again?

Repeatedly crashes. What I ended up doing was using a backup Final Cut Projects file and jettisoning this one with the glitch. Luckily, nada much lost. I've had a couple of these weird glitches happen in the Timeline, esp. when dealing with compound audio-only clips & some fx's and rather than spending mega time trying to fix the problem, I bail and start again, and try to be more methodical in my approach.

No audio for clips in my event library since upgrading to iLife '09

After upgrading to iLife '09, I noticed something odd in the new iMovie. All of my clips (recorded with a Sanyo Xacti HD1A and imported into the previous version of iPhoto DO show up in the event library, but DO NOT play any sound in the event library. If I copy a clip or move it up to the project editor the audio plays there. Does anyone know why I am getting no audio for these clips in the event library or what can be done to correct the issue?
Thanks,
-Mike

Finally got some sound on the clips in my iMovie '09 event library. This is what worked here: I went into the Pictures folder and showed the package contents of the "iPhoto Library". I went into the "Data" folder. I went to a "2008" folder. I located the folder of the first video clip I had for the holiday footage... "Dec 14, 2008". Inside that was a QuickTime file "SANY0001" and a JPEG "SANY0001.jpg". I zipped up the "Dec 14, 2008" folder. I dragged the folder to the trash. I dragged the .zip file out to the desktop.
I opened iPhoto '09. It showed an event for Dec 14, 2008 with a dashed-line round rectangle where it would have normally shown the first frame of the video clip. I closed iPhoto '09 and opened iMovie '09. It alerted me that it needed to generate a thumbnail for some video, and after about a minute the clip was in my event library and playing audio. Not only that... ALL clips in my event library now are playing audio. I quit iMovie '09 and went back into the "iPhoto Library". A new "Dec 14, 2008" folder was there with a new "SANY0001" QuickTime file (I wonder where it got this file from... hidden cache or backup somewhere?). I expanded the .zip on the desktop and dragged the original JPEG file from it to the new "Dec 14, 2008" folder.
I opened iPhoto '09 again. Now the thumbnail (obviously the JPEG file) displays fine.
Double checked iMovie '09... Yep, still playing the audio in ALL the clips in the event library.
I'm not really sure why this worked the way it did. The time it took to generate the new thumbnail was ONLY for the one clip... so it seems rather odd that all the subsequent clips in the event library started to work. Perhaps I just got lucky and it is only that first clip that was throwing everything else off in the thumbnails... or maybe iMovie just looks at the first clip in the event library to determine if it is playing sound or not for all of them?
Another oddity? The original SANY0001 file is "17.2 MB". The new one, which appears to be exactly the same in quality, is "10.8 MB". The "More Info" section reveals a bit more that might be of interest. The original is Codecs: Photo - JPEG, Integer (Big Endian). The new one is Codecs: Photo - JPEG, Integer (Little Endian). Total bit rate in the original is 2,570. In the new one it is 1,605.
Ah well. It works!!! Now I can finally have some fun exploring the new features of iMovie '09

How to edit a multiple audio video clip on Premiere

Hello everybody
Maybe this is a dumb question, I'm sorry if I'm asking what is obvious for you, but I swear I tried to find on the web and on this forum, but I couldn't find anything.
Well, I made a video using a screen capture software called Dxtory, that provides me the ability to record my PC screen, with multiple audio tracks.
Ok, now I have a 15gb avi file. When I open this file in the Media Player Classic, I can play one or both channels. The first channel is the original audio captured from my PC. Every audio generated by my PC is in this track. The second track is my voice, with my commentaries. I have all of this in one single file. They are not splited. It's just one file.
Then when I import into Premiere, the software just recognize the video track and the first audio track. I can't find the second, with my voice.
I know I can split the clip into 3 files (1 video and 2 audios) but it would take longer. I just want to drop the file on Premiere and edit the audio volumes quickly, because when I talk I would like to low the volume of the PC audio.
Now, the question: Is there a way to Premiere recognize both tracks in this single file? How?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm actually surprised that Pr can import this at all--the video is Xvid. Maybe it's some variant that Pr's importers can handle, as Jeff suggested. I dunno--it doesn't play well for me, regardless, and I'm not going to install the Dxtory codec to find out.
Anyway, to the matter at hand: while AVIs can, apparently, contain multiple audio tracks, Pr's importers are limited to a single track. However, Pr has other importers than can handle multiple audio tracks. QuickTime--which is a wholly different process--supports multiple audio tracks, as does MXF (some flavors). However, Xvid in QuickTime (which is feasible) won't import in Pr (at least on a PC), and Xvid won't go into an MXF file at all; that means you'd have to transcode. Personally, this would be my choice--but I found that the original clip played back pretty terribly, so that would be why I'd go that route.
Additionally, you could extract the second audio track to a separate WAV file, import both the AVI and WAV, and then use the Merge Clips feature to marry them together as one pseudo-clip. Not perfect, but it would work. The benefit is that you don't re-encode anything.
So, I've got solutions for both the re-encode/MXF option (my preference) and the AVI/WAV option. Here's proof of the MXF (transcoded video to XDCAMHD422 50Mbps) with four audio channels (stereo must be split to dual mono):
At the end of the day, these (or a variation of them) are your only options. Pr simply won't import multiple audio tracks (even dual mono) in an AVI container. Let me know if you're interested in either of the solutions.

Syncing audio to clips after making the cuts -Adobe premiere pro cs 5.5

Hello Everyone,
I am using adobe premeire pro cs 5.5. I have adobe prodution premium suite. I have completed my cuts with a bunch of clips in each sequence. None of them had audio, so I made all the cuts without the audio. Now I have got all the same files with audio in it. Is there a way to re-apply all the cuts I made to the files with the audio so that I can get the audio in the timeline corresponding to the clip? I tried opening the same project and tried linking the the new files with audio, it didn't work. Please let me know.
Thanks,
VJ

There's no automatic way to do this. You'll have to Match Frame the clips into the Source Monitor, find the In/Out timecodes, then load the new clip with audio and go to those same timecodes to set In/Out points. and add just the audio to the sequence.

Video audio enabled clips not moving together

I am dragging clips on to the timeline. They have audio and video. the dialogue box says they are enabled. However, If I move the clip, audio and video are not moving together when I drag either the video or audio clip in the timeline. Even when I disable the clip, link them or group the audio and video, they do not move together

Link them - select the video and audio tracks and press ⌘L.

No audio from clips

I just downloaded the Trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and when I import a clip, i'm not getting any audio, not even anything showing up in the 'Audio Master Meter'
I do get audio when I import a .mp3 file
HELP pleeease, this is very irritating!

Can you share the specs. of those Imported Clips, and especially the Audio CODEC inside?
Now, there is a common reason for Audio to either not show up, or perhaps be truncated - failure to complete Conforming. This ARTICLE goes into more detail. As PrPro edits/plays back from the Conformed Audio files (CFA's), the Conforming process is very important.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more,
Hunt
