No audio when exporting from mpeg to flv

We have two PCs with Premiere Pro and AME installed, and just upgraded to CC. On one computer exporting works fine, on the other one, I'm losing the audio when exporting from mpeg to flv. I have used the same preset as on the other computer (that works) and also tried other presets that came with AME.
I can't figure out why this wouldn't work on one but works fine on the other? Anyone who knows?

How are you determining that the FLV has no audio?  Are you playing it back in VLC Player or importing it into Flash?
Also, do you see a full range of formats on the system where you don't hear audio?  If some formats are missing this might be  a licensing issue.  Also check if AME recognizes audio on the MPEG source (hover over it  in the queue and look for  audio info in the tool tip).

  • Video but no audio when exporting from iPhoto

    I have very small (30 sec) clips of video from a digital camera downloaded into iPhoto. When I export or share a clip to QuickTimePro 7, iMovie, my desktop, or e-mail the video goes, but no audio. I have tried so many different ways, I can't even remember what I've done. Can anyone help? I'm at my wits end, and it's a video of my baby laughing for the first time and I want to send it to everyone!!!

    With the video open in the QuickTime Player, choose Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, click on the Resources tab, control-click on the entry which contains the file's location on your computer, and choose Show in Finder from the menu which appears. Once the file has been located, download MPEG Streamclip and use it to convert the file; save the converted file on the desktop.

  • No audio when exporting from iMovie

    I am trying to export my HD movie from imovie in HD size format 1280x720, when I do I am not getting any audio. Is there something that I am missing, a mute check box or special setting? I have looked everywhere but just cant figure it out.

    This is speculation on my part so take it with a grain of salt.
    But first you have to realize that iMovie renders the entire movie, effects, music, transitions, photos, etc. in one pass. If you use Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro, you can render a sequence, or render a nest of sequences. You can create a much longer movie this way without taxing your machine.
    Secondly, the Intel architecture has a graphics processor that offloads a lot of the heavy lifting to a video chip or video card. On a PowerPC (RISC) architecture, everything goes through the CPU.

  • No audio when exporting to mpeg

    Newbie here, on my first project. I have exported it to mpeg and all went well except there is no audio.
    I am using the trial version of Premiere Elements 8 on a PC running Windows 7.
    Any guidance?

    Welcome to the forum.
    The lack of Audio in an Exported/Shared file is often the lack of the correct setting in the Multiplexing tab. When you go to do the Export, you will choose both Audio & Video in the General tab. Additional settings appear in the Video and the Audio tab. Last, there is the Multiplexing tab, and one must choose one of the other choices, besides None. This is often DV Audio, but there can be others, depending on the other tabs' settings. Check your Multiplexing tab, and let us know what it's set to. That is likely the issue.
    Good luck,

  • Distorted Audio when exporting from iMovie 11

    In iMovie 11 the edited movie sounds fine. But when the movie is exported to the media browser or Vimeo, the audio is distorted. It sounds like gain has been set way too high. I have used this version iMovie a lot and have never encountered this problem. Ideas?

  • Losing audio when exporting from imovie to real player

    I've been trying to export imovie to real player- the video goes across fine, but there is no audio. And i can actually export audio to real player by itself and it plays fine.
    So video or audio fine; but i can't seem to get them both!
    I'd be very grateful for any help or tips.
    Cheers,

    Is CS5 patched to 7.0.4?
    Is the image on a master page?
    Is it visible when you switch to Preview mode?

  • Strange glitch in my audio when exporting from FCPX.

    I just finished my short film in FCPX today, and exported it. I used Apple's ProRes 422(HQ) format to export it using the "Export Using Compressor Settings" options. I was content with the video quality, however the audio was I believe to have been corrupted. I played my video in QuickTime X and on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro I can hear really annoying and distracting glitches that keep cutting up my audio and making the bass sound extremely weird. In the end, I put my video in iMovie, silenced out the audio and put on a track of the same song I was using in the original video. And just like I expected, the audio of the file that came out of iMovie did not have any of these weird glitches. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong in FCPX that is casuing this problem or it might be something to do with the software itself? Perhaps bugs?

    No, they are AAC audio files, 256kbps that I got from my iTuens library. So they need to be AIFF at 48k? Does the convert option to AIFF in iTunes satisfy this criteria? I am relatively new to audio formatting and related issues.

  • Flash 8 Video Encoder, audio/video discrepancy from mpeg

    Two questions...
    First, more urgently, I've been given an origianl
    720xsomething mpeg format video, and I'm trying to bring it over to
    flash... I use the flash 8 video encoder, which does a phenomenal
    job of keeping video quality while vastly reducing file size, but
    in this case, (unlike some others in the past) I'm getting a
    bizarre discrepancy between the speed of audio vs. speed of
    video... I can't find a way to force the mpeg (or flash encoder
    software) to TELL me what the frame rate of the original mpeg is,
    and even when i attempt to force it to 24 or 25 during conversion
    to flv, it doesn't seem to bother matching it up to the audio...
    when i take the result and export it from flash, i'll try, at 24
    the video is going too fast for audio, but at 23 its going too
    slow...
    and this SEEMs related to 2nd question.. I took about 15
    solid minutes of video of a particularly nice sunset in
    progression, with the hopes of compressing it down to about 30-60
    seconds for effect... but it seemed like, no matter what frame rate
    I tried to compress it to with the encoder, it just drew each frame
    out to a set length, and even if i tried to export the flash really
    fast, it remained at the epicly slow frame rate...
    is there a relation? what am I doing wrong?
    is there a way to detect the ACTUAL frame rate of the
    original mpeg... is there a way to force the audio and video to
    remained sync'd up? Seems the that problem is, if i go with the
    default 'Same as source' I'm left to guess what that might be when
    exporting from flash, as nothing ever actually tells me what that
    source frame rate actually was! Is there some natural audio
    compression business inside mpeg video that works fine for mpeg
    video, but the flash encoder can't handle well? I've tried it with
    about a billion different frame rate, audio data rate, quality, and
    export settings, and have yet to get a sync.
    Thanks in advance!

    I should have been more clear.
    I changed the file name from .vob to .mpg and then tried to
    add the video file to Flash 8 Video Encoder and received the
    following error message:
    "You won't be able to encode this file. Your computer doesn't
    have the necessary codec or the file is corrupt."
    Currently,
    I use ffmpegx to convert the .vob to .dv and then, I import
    the .dv into Flash 8 Video Encoder and convert it to a .flv....
    I can use ffmpegx to go straight to a .flv, but the file size
    is larger b/c the compression is different, not On2 VP6...
    I would like to skip the middle step because my files are
    very large and it takes extra time.

  • Missing Audio when Converting from MPEG1 Muxed to Ipod using QT Pro 7

    I just got my video iPod over Christmas. After reading up on QT Pro 7, I purchased it over the weekend, and have attempted unsuccessfully the past two nights to convert home videos (taken with my Sony digital camera) to iPod format. My home movies play fine when I open them in Quicktime; however, when I export to the iPod format (and also when I export to mpeg4 format), I only get the video and not the audio.
    I've confirmed that my key for QT Pro 7 is successfully loaded, so that's not the issue.
    I've also confirmed that the format of the original video taken from my camera is "MPEG1 Muxed". Several internet discussion boards seem to indicate that missing audio is a common problem for people using Sony cameras and Quicktime. If this is the case, I'd prefer to simply refund my money and buy one of the other video to iPod converters available on the web.
    So, either help me solve this problem, or help me get a refund. I'm fine either way.

  • Mac Projector Crashes When exported From Flash CS5.5

    Something strange that i noticed, when i had exported a presentation for a Mac,
    on a 64 bit windows 7 using flash cs5.5.
    the applicaton gets the paths of a few swfs from an XML file
    and loads them one after the other.. there is a small bit of interactivity.
    .. tested this projecter on various versions of MAC, it crashes often,crashes earlier if i switch applications.  what follows here is a part of a report that was generated on an  OS X 10.7.3,
    works fine if the projector is exported from flash cs5.
    i need it to work when exported from flash cs5.5.. any suggestions on what i need to change in my application so that it works when exported from flash cs5.5?
    Your help would be appreciated Thanks in Advance

  • FCP Freezes When Exporting to Flash Video (FLV)

    Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 freezes when exporting to Flash Video (FLV). The resulting FLV file contains only a few seconds of the exported video. A 2009 Apple Support notice offers this re. FCP 6 and CS3 Flash Video Encoder...
    ===
    Final Cut Pro: May quit unexpectedly when exporting to Flash
    Last Modified: February 13, 2009
    Article: TS2593
    Symptoms
    Final Cut Pro may quit unexpectedly when you export using QuickTime Conversion if you choose Flash Video (FLV) from the Format menu.
    Products Affected
    Final Cut Pro 6.x, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder
    Resolution
    This can happen if you use the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder and Final Cut Pro together. This issue does not occur with the Flash Video Encoder in Adobe Creative Suite 4. To work around the issue:
    Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.
    Be sure to enable Make Movie Self-Contained.
    Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player.
    Export the movie to Flash from QuickTime Player.
    ===
    I just installed CS5, so I would think I shouldn't be bothered with an older, problematic Flash Video Encoder. I don't think I should have to convert an MOV file to an FLV file using QuickTime Reader or anything else. Why doesn't it export correctly out of FCPro 7.0.2?

    oh well.

  • IDVD Stops Responding when Exporting from iMovie

    I'm using iDVD and iMovie (from iLife 06 and fully up to date) on a MacPro (also up to date on all software, MacOSX, Quicktime etc).
    This proceedure has worked before several times but now results in a non-responding iDVD every time I try it, including an archive and re-install and a complete new install of OSX and all software on a new partition.
    What I'm doing.....
    [1] Recording a TV programme on EyeTV (410) and exporting it to iMovie - sucessful every time
    [2] Edit the iMove project and add chapter markers and save project - no problem.
    [3] Export to iDVD - iDVD shows exporting in progress and whilst this is still showing iDVD launches
    [4] iDVD starts playing the music from a std theme for a few seconds and then stops. Then resumes the music after resizing the window and then after a couple of more seconds freezes. From the Dock I can see that iMove and iDVD are "not responding"
    [5] Eventually iMovie completes it's "export" and then starts responding normally. iDVD continues to show as non responding although I can move the window around the screen. I have to force quit iDVD to get it to close down.
    I have tried:
    Re-exporting the project from EyeTV
    Deleting the preferences files for iMove and iDVD
    Deleting the iLife suite and re-installing
    Doing an OSX archive and re-install
    Installing a fresh OSX (10.4.8) on a different drive and installing fresh software
    Running Disk Utility - clean bill of health on both drives
    Repaired permissions
    The Console reports the following errors when exporting from iMove to iDVD:

    Result - problem persists. I'm at a loss as what to do next. Any suggestions greatfully received.

    Yes, tried that when I deleted the preferences. Disk Utility did not report any permissions needed repairing.
    What really mystifies me is that this export to iDVD did work once and I expected it to resume once I'd created a fresh OSX install along with all the iLife apps on a new partition, but it remained the same!
    Perhaps there is some sort of other software conflict going on? I have Adobe CS2, MS Office, Toast and FMP installed all are latest editions. On the utilities front I have installed Stuffit Deluxe, Internet Cleanup, Contour USB controller for video editing and a LogicTech wireless trackball. Again all the drivers are the latest releases.
    Does anyone know if there are any preferences associated with the other not responding applications listed in my other post that I could try the delete-reboot trick on?

  • Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

    Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
    Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

    Try turning off GPU acceleration.

  • "Milky" or faint results when exporting from AE to FCP

    (Accidently posted to FCP Express forum-- whoops!)
    I've been using After Effects for years now to create graphics for our Avid projects, and the QT results have always been great. Clean, sharp moving graphics. But now that I've been using FCP, I'm not exactly happy when I export my Quicktime graphics from After Effects to FCP: they're extremely "milky" and faint/fuzzy when viewed from FCP over an NTSC monitor. I have tried various codecs when exporting: DV/NTSC, Animation, Component-- all with the same results.
    I have read other threads with similar comments (even the thread that mentioned "milky" results when exporting from FCP to AE and back) but none of the suggestions/remarks helped in my situation.
    I'm sure others have experienced this. Any suggestions?
    Settings:
    After Effects comp: NTSC/DV Preset (720 x 480, lower field, etc.)
    Export Codecs: DV/DVCPro-NTSC, Animation, Component (all with the same milky results)
    Final Cut: Sequence Preset "DV/NTSC 48 Khz"
    Also tried using, as one thread suggested, the "Uncompressed 8 bit NTSC 48 Khz" preset and no difference
    Side note: I'm using Final Cut in this system outputting to both DV video and Betacam video, using an Aja card for the Beta. Both DV and Beta results look the same (going straight thru the decks-to-NTSC monitor) and they both use the same "DV/NTSC 48 Khz" sequence preset-- except where I changed it to "Uncompressed 8 bit". If I use Animation or Component as my export codec from AE, naturally, I have to render to play the clip back in the timeline. It even looks milky or faint on the FCP source/viewer screens!
    And yes, I've checked the NTSC monitor-- a Sony Trinitron PVM-20 monitor. And I've looked at the results on other monitors and even regular TVs. Milky/faint video all around.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

    Is this on files with alpha channels? Have you tried
    changing the Alpha type? Are you having
    pre-multiplication problems?
    No, they don't have alpha channels. But I did try, when rendering with Animation, changing the colors to "Millions +" which was something I read on another thread. Same results.
    Basically, these are After Effects projects with simple backgrounds and moving text. I'm not doing any layering with alpha channels-- like lower third supers.
    However, whenever I use Apple programs like LiveType or Motion, the NTSC results look like they did while I was creating the projects with these programs before I rendered them.
