No audio in some of the video clips in my project CS5.5

Hi,
I'm in need of some help. I've been working on this project which has been lying on ice for a while. During that while my system disc crashed, but I had the project file and source files backed up to my external HDD. I accually ran the project from the external drive when my system HDD was up and running.
So the disc crashed, and now I started the project up again. First thing that came up was that the scratch disc was unavailable or locked, so it was set to my documents. I reccon thats the default location when starting a project if non has been set prior to that? In that case my old documents folder was most likley my scratch disc since I'm new to this program and probably did not change the default setting.
THE ISSUE: Some of the video files in the time line wont play the sound of said video file. Some will. Also, even if I open the source file in a new project it wont play back the sound of the clip. The only thing that works is to move and rename the clip, then I get the sound in premiere pro. Also the original clip has sound in external media players. So this lead me to the conclusion that premiere pro saves the audio file somewhere (in the scratch disc location?) that is now empty since my system crashed and I reinstalled premiere pro?
Is my theory correct, and is there some way to like point out the original file and make premiere pro disregard any old audio files that it has saved in some other location?
I hope everything is clear enough, otherwise just ask if you need some other information. I did not attach any hardware specs, because my sound otherwise works fine, even in premiere pro depending on the clip.
Best regards

It did not do any good, however I found a folder with Media Cache files, on another internal drive that I had before my system disc crashed. As far as I know I did not change the location of the media cache since then and that folder contains .cfa and .pek files for what seems to be all the audio and video files for my project.
Can there be some error here? Can I clear it some how and recreate it from the original source files?

  • On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

    .

    Hey,
    If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.
    A great resource for finding answers to questions like this is http://www.imovietutorialhelp.com
    You can ask questions just like these and they will be answered for you. If you need a tutorial video made or anything like that, you can go there as well and ask for a video to made as well. Check it out.

    Don't edit the audio into the timeline. Or pull the audio level down to zero in the inspector or on the audio waveform in the timeline.

  • I added background music to the video clip, but I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the background music audio

    I added background music to the video clip in iMovie, the playback runs ok on the right corner preview screen, if I share it to movie clip or itunes or theather, I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the music audio
    If I don't put additional audio to the clip. audio effect or music background, the video plays normally
    I detached the audio from the video clip and deleted it, that way it was possible to listen to the music background and see the actual video clip, but no audio from the video clip.
    How can I have both?

    Hi
    My first thought is -
    Where are the original Audio file ?
    If it was on an Audio-CD then the CD is Ejected and one tries to play the movie - it can not find it = Silence.
    You are using an Non-Destructive Video editor - meaning that You have raw material - Video, Audio and photos but no Movie in Project - only a text document directing How You want it to be played. So if Audio is not where it was when this document were created - iMovie can not find it and e.g. audio goes silent.

    I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    What do you have now.....
    What computer operating system do you have?
    We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
    What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
    If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
    If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
    VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
    VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
    Does the above scenario apply to you?
    The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
    the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
    I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
    Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
    1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
    2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
    3. Go to
    Get Media
    "DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
    "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
    Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
    You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
    With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
    Should work fine.
    Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
    Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
    Thank you.

  • Why is the Video clip jumpy?

    Why is the Video clip jumpy? I have just installed Premiere Elements 12 in a brand new computer:
    Acer Aspire V5
    CPU AMD Dual Core Processor a-4 APU with Radeon (TM HD Graphics 1.0 GHz)
    4GB DDR3 memory
    500 GB HDD
    Windows 8.1
    The file types are AVI, AVCHD, and MOV files

    northgal
    Lots of ways to go on this. But, I think starting with a definition of the source media and how you are setting up the project is going to be the path to success. So, we need to zero in on questions/answers related to what I wrote earlier
    The properties of the source media need expanding up beyond "file types are AVI, AVCHD, and MOV.
    a. What are the video and audio compression of the files with the .avi file extension and what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    b. What is the file extension for the file with the AVCHD video compression. Again, what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    c. What are the video and audio compression of the files with the .mov file extension and what is the frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio?
    You asked how to go about that. The best way is to run each of the file types through a video properties read out program such as MediaInfo
    http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
    Latest versions of that MediaInfo have been problematic in that you need to be on guard for any unwanted toolbars and installed "extra" programs (bloatware).
    OR
    We would not necessarily get more information, but we would get enough to put us in a good position, if we run the types through gspot utility (good for codec and basic information)...less bloatware concerns
    http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
    The dialog that you would get from gspot would look like
    Once we know the video and audio codecs, frame size, frames rates, interlaced or progressive frame rates, etc. that we are dealing with, we on a good course to set up the project settings to match those properties, independant of whatever export choices we have in mind. That we will address later after a successful import and edit.
    OR
    A third choice for getting at this information is less productive but can be a good last resort...knowing the brand/model/recording settings of the camera from which these files came.
    Please review and then let us know if you can gather the file properties information details requested.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thank you.

  • How do I import video clips from iPhoto if it doesn't recognize the video clips in iMoive

    I'm trying to make a movie using iMovie and I recorded some clips using a Sony Digital Camera and iMovie won't let me upload the video clips from iPhoto. I try to import them but when i try to click on the file, it won't let me. Like its not bold like other files (It will let me upload video that were taken with my iPhone) I have iMovie 09.
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks!

    Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately?  If so then here's how:
    1 - open iDVD and select your theme. 
    2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
    3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
    4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left. 
    Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
    Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
    This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
    If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos.  Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
    That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

  • I belive I have fixed the video clip pan updating problom in iMovie hd.

    I belive I have fixed the video clip pan updating problom in iMovie hd. I have been using my VCR with my Director's Cut 2 video converter with my iMac G5. To convert my VHS home movies to DVD. The problom I had been having is when I captuerd the video to my Mac is when I go back to play it back. I would click on a video clip and it would tell me it had to update the file and then I could play the clip. That drove me nuts. So first I went to the Apple store and I got the new iLife 6. So then I come home and update everything with it. Then I test it again same thing happens to me. Well to say the lest I was lived mad. Till I thought of something let me try one more thing. So I went for brocke. I hooked up my mindv camcorder and my VCR though the pass though A/V pass though conector and then I hook the cam up to my Mac. So I go to record bingo. I hit the clip and it did not have to update then I made more and more and bingo I think I fixed it nock on wood. But I also ordered a Canopus 110 video converter to see if. I can get it to work were I do not have to use my mindv cam to do the convertion all the time and ware it out. Some how my DC2 was making the video clip it took into a difrent formate some how go figuer.

    You might hit it lucky as there's a free conversion program called MPEG Streamclip <This Link is a direct download>. You can download it and drag one of your clips into the App Window then Export it to .mov (In the window that pops up there's a pulldown list and you should Choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
    Do you know what format the videos are in? Do they have a 3 letter file extension like .mpg, or .mts or .m2ts or anything like that?

  • Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "Video 1"...

    "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "Video 1" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod."
    Never had this problem before. I just updated iTunes and there was no change. All videos are in .mov format. I've tried .mp4 as well with no change.
    I've deleted them from the library and tried putting them back in several times. Anyone have any help for me?

    Hi!
    I've been following the 5G iPod threads and playing around with video files for the past week while waiting for the iPod to arrive. It's now here. I somehow managed to rip a full-length DVD, demux the AC3 audio and convert it to AAC, put the movie back together, and load it into the iPod (don't ask... I don't think I could explain it...). However, the slideshow (with music) I made in iMovie (with input only from iPhoto and iTunes) which I "shared" to QuickTime (pro) using the expert settings and the default option to convert for iPod failed to load to the iPod!
    Hmmm... strange that using five, third-party programs/hacks got me a full length feature film, but my Apple programs with built-in support used in the default mode for iPod failed to convert a simple three-minute iMovie slideshow. I tried two of them, neither worked...

  • Audio doesn't match the video ... why

    Last night I tried to sort some of the clutter from my desk by downloading some recorded video on VHS tapes. The images worked fine with no dropped frames at all, however, the audio doesn't match the video.
    Example 1: the footage is of skydiving recorded from Channel 4 (UK) while the audio that is captured with is commentry from several years ago when we lived back in Australia (Channel 7).
    Example 2: the audio is very very slow.
    The footage was recorded on a VCR which has no audio/video out facility and is converted via the ADVC 110 from a VCR which does have the audio/video out plugs. The DV is then saved to an external drive 500GB.
    Can anyone suggest a way around this unique effect .... please.
    Blue skies
    Dean

    G'day Martin,
    Here are the answers to the questions you asked.
    As far as I can tell everything is PAL. The VCR used to record the footage and the VCR used to download to the converter. The later has NTSC capability but not turned on (I checked).
    The Canopus is set to PAL and the FCE easy set up is set to DV PAL converter.
    The Video and Audio are recorded at the same time.
    I should add that I tried it again this morning and it worked for a short while but then reverted to previous reported faults. I have tried about 8 different VHS tapes and they all do either of the two described faults.
    Thanks for your suggestions.
