No audio when clip is dragged into movie

I found this out the hard way.. I made a movie in iMovie, and then made a dvd in iDVD, and found out (after several hours of work) that there was no audio on my DVD (except for at the menus).
I went back to iMovie and found out that my movie was no longer playing audio, it was not just a DVD issue. However, when I drag the clips back up to the clip pane and play them from there, the accompanying audio is present... but when I drag them back down into the timeline, they seem to 'lose' all audio.
This footage was imported from analog using a converter box, but I have never had these problems before while using the same equipment.
The only thing I have done differently on this project than some others is that I exported two of the clips into quicktimes for use on my iDVD menus.
Any suggestions on how to regain my missing audio in the movie??? Thanks!

Make sure you have the audio check box marked off in the time line. You'll find it in the bottom right side of the iMovie window next to the video line.

Video Distortion when clip is dropped into timeline

My system: Windows 7 64 bit.
Intel Core I5-2500k [email protected] (4 CPUs)
Memory: 8 Gigs RAM
I am new to using Premiere Elements 10 as this is the first video editing program I have ever worked with however I am very computer literate.
Problem: I have numerous video clips I shot with my camera. I decided to make a project for the fist time using a bunch of clips I shot from a dog show. All of the clips that I shot were in the same format of AVC HD 24M (FX), 1920x1080 (60i). Most of the clips are a few mintues long but two were shot at max video time of 29 mintues (shot with a camera Sony DSC-HX100V). When I dropped these into the timeline and did the smart trim option the video had lighting issues such as flickering and the black images had static. NOTE: I have been successful in getting these two video clips to come out in great quality after trimming when I did this in a separate project by itself.
If I view the vidoes in the project are they play perfectly, its just when I drop them into timeline and trim them that I get the lower quality issues. I have about 20 vidoe clips in the timeline that before trimming are about an hour and a half. After trimming the movie is about 30 mintus. Every clip is great except the two that are longer in length.
Being a new user I am sure I must be doing something wrong. Please help.
Thanks,
Mike

Do you have a redline across the top of the timeline when you first import the clips?
If yes does it run -
the whole length of the timeline? If so you have chosen the wrong project setting.
only across some segments. If yes you are using mixed footage. Press [Enter] to render the redline clips. When done the redline clips will go green and you should get a smoother preview playback.
Note that the render is only to make previews smoother. You don't have to do it as, when you share the footage, the whole project will be rendered. Also note that as you apply effects to a clip it will show a redline across that clip and for smooth preview you should render ( Press [Enter] ).

No Audio When Clips Dragged From iphoto

Hi. I am a little confused. I imported some pics and video taken from a digital camera into iphoto. This material appears in the Media button in imovie HD. However when I drag the mpeg clips to the timeline, the video works fine but there is no audio. When I play the video clips in iphoto, the audio works fine. Any suggestions on how to get the audio working in imovie? Thanks!

iMovie can't extract the audio from muxed file formats (MPEG 1 and 2 and Flash).
Convert your MPEG-1 files to DV Stream using the free MPEG Streamclip application. Use the new .dv file in iMovie.

No audio when clip dragged to timeline, FC Express

I'm working with an older version of Final Cut Express, 4.0.1. My video clips in the beginning of the Timeline have audio but now when I try to place new clips in the Timeline, the audio for those clips won't play...no waveforms. It does, however, play in the Clip Viewer. The clips were all captured the same way, .mov files.
Please help! Thank you.

On the left of the Timeline is the video/audio Patch Panel. They determine whether video or audio or both are entered.
If a patch Panel is dis-connected no video or audio will be entered.

Missing Audio When I Play The Whole Movie, But Still in Clip

I am working on a project in iMovie. I adjusted the audio for all of the clips and it played perfectly. I added a clip, and now if I play the whole movie, the audio of the following clip does not play. If I start playing at that troublesome clip, the audio is still there. Very weird issue.
I have checked the levels of all clips and all seems normal. I tried restarting iMovie, my computer, repairing permissions, reseting PRAM, emptied the cache. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?
I should also note that the clip before the one without audio is in slow-motion. If I take the slow-motion off, the audio works fine. Maybe just a bug? Anyone know a way to solve the problem instead of just a work-around?

Make sure that the slow motion is set to a preset value like 25%, 50%. There are tic marks on the slider for the pre-sets. If you use a custom percentage ike 37%, it messes up the audio.

Lose audio when clip in timeline

New problem. CS3.
I set the in and out points of the video in the source monitor. When I drag it to the timeline, the audio is not there. I assume I inadvertantly changed the output button. I currently have it set to composite video automatic quality. I have tried the other settings and am sitll not getting the audio into the timeline. I do have the audio in the source monitor.

Aha, I have tripped upon the answer. The problem was not the output button, but rather I had inadvertantly hit the "take video and audio" button. Switched that and magically, all is well. (I also got my husband's birthday cake decorated-this must be my lucky day)!
....I never knew that button was there....

No audio when i import an mpeg movie to finalcut

Hello everyone
i am trying to import am mpeg movie file
when i import to final cut pro i see the footage but there is no audio?
When i play the files outside of finalcut i see and hear the clips
Any suggestions?
thanks
Danny

Open it in MPEG Streamclip and export it as a video and audio codec that matches an easy set up.

Or use the original footage rather than the MPEG file.

No audio when importing mp4 files into iTunes.

Since recently, whenever I import an MP4 of M4V file into iTunes, it either deletes the audio, or the video becomes shocky.
When I play the same files in VLC they do work. That is great and all, but since I use Apple TV I need them to work in iTunes.
I've tried to delete and re-import the files. I've also tried to download different versions of the same files, which also didn't work.
To me it seems like the problem lies within iTunes.. but I'm not really a computer wiz.
Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

No video, only audio when importing .avi file into CS2

I recorded 920p footage on a GoPro Hero 3 at 50fps. GoPro recordes MP4 files, I wanted to edit the footage in PP CS2 as it gives me more control than GoPro studio.
I used GoPro Studio to convert the MP4 files into avi files and amended the white balance and saturation etc, as I recorded using Pro Tune which gives a flatter colour profile.
The avi files run well in Windows Media Player (although don't seem to have the clarity of video's on the GoPro website!)
I have then imported the avi files into CS2 to put together the edit and I can only hear the audio and can't see the video in the source stream or the program stream.
I assume I have a setting wrong in CS2, could any one advise what I need to change to get the problem rectified?
I was planning on exporting the finished problem at 720p if makes a differance

Also, CS2 has a different forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous

No audio when compressing .mov to Mpeg transport stream (m2t)

Since reinstalling OSX and FCS2 I don't get audio when I compress a quicktime movie to mpeg transport stream, used to be able to do it. I'm playinh the m2t in mpeg streamclip and assume it will handle audio, settings in compressor look ok, (48K 16 bit) although the button for multiplexed mpeg i/layer 2 audio is greyed out and unticked !?

Answering my own query here, but in case it helps someone else ... there appears to have been sound all along, at least since I ticked the mpeg audio box on the extra tab. When the file is playing in mpegstreamclip you have to work the volume fader down and up again at which point the sound comes on (yes it was faded up initially)
Wierd one, its almost as though there was a faulty physical fader rather than a virtual one.

When I drop anything into the timeline I have to render it to view it.

I am working with 2 sequences in one project. In one sequence I can drop images, video clips, text onto the timeline and I can view it, showing a green line. No problem. I switch to the other sequence and every time I do anything to the timeline I have a red line and have to render each and ever clip to review the work I just did. I don't understand why the two are different. Any suggestions? Thanx

#28 Having to render every clip in the timeline
Shane's Stock Answer #28: When I put a clip in the timline, I have to render it before it will play. Why?
Your clip settings MUST match your timeline settings. If you have DV/NTSC material, you need a DV/NTSC timeline. The frame rate, audio rate and dimensions (4:3, 16:9) all need to match exactly. In Final Cut Pro 6, this is easy, because when you drop a clip into the timeline, it asks if you want to set up the timeline to match the settings of the first clip you drag into it. Click YES and you are ready to go.
However, in FCP 5.1 and earlier, it is a bit trickier.
The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu.
Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured.

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

Clips automatically lengthened when dragged into timeline

Hello,
I'm new to FCP X, just as I am with video editing so please forgive my noviceness!
When I drag clips from the Event Library into the Timeline(?) (The bit at the bottom, where you arrange the clips) they are automatically made longer. For example, one clip has a length of 54 seconds in the event library, but when dragged into the timeline, it has been stretched to 56 seconds. I'm trying to match a band's studio recording footage to the finished audio and it is impossible when the clips are slowed down (and subsequently lower in pitch).
Is there a setting I need to know about to prevent this? How can I fix this problem?
Many thanks

If you mark the 'In' and 'Out' points and then press the 'E' key, the clip should be added to the Timeline exactly as marked in the Event Library.
Press 'Q' to add it above the Timeline as a Connected Clip at the Skimmer or the Playhead position.
Press 'W' to insert it into the Timeline at the Skimmer or the Playhead position (all the other clips will be pushed along the timeline to make room for it).
Press 'D' to overwrite it to the Timeline at the Skimmer or the Playhead position.
If you try some of these options and the clip duration changes, I suggest you trash your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

No Audio When Importing MOV into LifeType

Hi
I'm new to FCE and I was importing a mov file into life type. However, there was no audio when I tried playing the file. I am able to see the visual and the live fonts effects but somehow the audio is missing.
Did I miss something ? Is this the right approach for creating a movie with LiveType effects ?
Jojos
P.S: The mov itself has audio when played via Quicktime.

if I may ask for the steps I would be doing the following ?
1. Create the titling effect in LiveType
2. Export it to a quicktime movie
3. Open FCE4 and superimpose it into my main movie clip
4. Generate it as movie
In step 2, do I render a movie or generate it as a quicktime movie? May I know what's the difference and which offers a better quality ?
Appreciate your reply.
Jojos
