No audio when files (recorded off of digital camera) were copied to iMovie
I attempted to import video clips taken with my sure shot digital camera to iMovie. The video transfered just fine but there is no audio.
I then uploaded all the video clips from the camera to iPhoto and when I opened those files thru iPhoto, quicktime plays the videos perfectly with audio.
What am I doing wrong/what do I need to do so that these video files play audio when in iMovie?
Hello 112969nole,
the clips from your digital camera are likely to be in a muxed MPEG format. In order to edit them with iMovie you'll need to convert them to DV format.
Find some more info in Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ:

How do I move videos i recorded off my digital camera to iMovie? !!!!!!!!!!
I hooked my digital that recorded said video, to my mac book but I can't find out how to move my video from my digital to iMovie please help!
Is your "digital camera" a still camera that happens to take movies as well? Or do you really have a DV camcorder? iMovie, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro only work directly with DV (or HDV). If you have a DV camcorder, you should be able to use iMovie to import your videos. If you have a still camera, you'll have to import your movies into iPhoto. Then, depending on the format your still camera saves the videos, you may or may not be able to import them into iMovie.

How? System audio when screen recording
Anyone know how to record system audio when screen recording in Lion? I've been trying to use the Quicktime Player record. I've trying to avoid spending gobs of money on a 3rd party app I'll only use rarely. Any help at all would be great.
Hi hurdlefaster,
Though the suggestion above is valid, you might not want to
use it ("Resize") as the answer because it can be tricky to use,
and because it
always results in a much larger file. I think a better way
to accomplish what you want is to create the background image you
want in your image editor, making sure it is sized as you want it,
then make that image the desktop image.
The image you create might have a vertical (height) of 500
pixels, and a horizontal (width) of 740 pixels. Of the horizontal
740 pixel size, you might use 180 pixels on the left for a TOC or
Index area, 20 pixels as a "border" area, and last, a "content"
area of 540 pixels on the far right.
Then place your recording red-rectangle around the whole
image on your desktop, with the application to be captured placed
in the 540 pixel "content" area.
This works ... I've used the concept for years ... and it
doesn't result in a bloated file, as the "Resize" operation most
certainly will. Hope this helps. I'll be happy to give you some
sample images if you contact me privately with a link to this
thread. My email address is catbandit (AT) pcabcs (DOT) com.
G'day!

no audio when i record video on iphone 6plus using the front... but the rear or back camera is workin fine... pls help
Hi ria05,
If you are having issues with your iPhone not recording sound when using your front camera, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

When I record with my iSight camera, after a few seconds it stops recording and tell me there is "Dropfame" images. What do I have to make?
A few weeks ago, my camera doesn't do that, but since 1-2 weeks it becomes impossible to record with it.Hi mstearns59,
If you are having issues with the audio in a movie in iTunes and video playback issues I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?
How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?
You can use the camera connection kit.

If your camera has an SD card
or the lightening to USB for your videos

(might also work for your camera)
The photo part is rather self-explanatory. as long as your photos are in the right format and with the right naming convention they should import right over. The video may be a bit more tricky. So you may want to do some more research and make sure your camera records a format the iPad will import and whether or not you need an app such as iMovie -
How do i remove the exif metadata from my jpg file produced with a digital camera photo?
How do i remove the exif metadata from my jpg file produced with a digital camera photo?
The excellent and free utility Irfanview has the option to remove the EXIF data.
Simply open and the file and do a Save, or Save As with the original name.
Surprisingly, the default is to not keep the original EXIF data. -
Trying to email MVI-AVI file recorded on Canon Digital Still+Motion Camera
Have taken a burst of video motion with sound using my Canon digital camera and want to send it via email so it can be opened and enjoyed
Tried bringing it into iMovie where I chose compression for email
Then I chose compression for Quick time BUT when going back to Entourage where I try to attach the file it says I need to buy Stuffit software first.
Any ideas ?
ThanksUse YouSendIt to send all huge files through email.
If the other party has high speed internet service & AIM use either AIM or iChat to send the file. -
Files creation time on digital camera's SD is now offset with timezone
Been checking out the photos I've took with a digital camera by taking the SD card and mounting it in current (all up to date) Arch. It was weird to see that the latest photos are shown as being in the future. Basically the camera don't know about time zones, and creates files at the date/time I set (based on local time). On the other hand, Arch suddenly interprets that date/time as UTC while I'm actually in UTC+8 - so all the photos appear 8 hours in the future compared to when they were actually taken.
This is caused by some new change, though not sure how recently. I still have pictures on my SD card from April that I can compare to their copies made on the hard drive. The files on my hard drive (copied from the same card in April) have correct time (are in localtime). Same ones on the SD card are now 8 hours off when I mount now and check them....
Here's an example, highlighted one of the file on the SD card (left) and on the hard drive copied a few months ago (right). Same file, different interpreted time.
http://i.imgur.com/XvhVrYT.png
Similarly for all the subsequent files in the directory as well.
This is very strange to me, what setting or software can cause such a time error?

On holiday I have been uploading my photos to iphoto on my macbook pro every few days, the latest batch appeared and I was able to edit them, flag, merge events etc. However, later that day when I went back to the images they could not be found in my library. They had been removed from 'latest import', however were viewable on the icloud photo stream. I have attempted to re-import the images from both the digital camera and my photostream but iphoto indicates that the images had already been imported and would not import them again. I was able to locate the master images using finder, but Iphoto tells me that these files are unreadable (they are .jpg) when I try to re-add them this way. I have also tried to 'unhide' all images in case I had accidentally hidden them but this didn't work either.
Any other suggestions?a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Best Digital Camera for use with iMovie 09
i'm purchasing an iMac next week and am looking for a digital camera, a major concern is video compatibility. I have found mostly just threads on problems, OKAY, so i know what NOT to get. But i would like to know what TO get. The camera i have found I like most is the Casio Exilim EX-S12bk, but it doesn't play well with iMovie due to the .AVI format it records to, the actual codec is motion jpeg i believe. I'm looking for something with optical zoom in recording mode, hi def video, and of course great photos. Very noobish to cameras so bells and whistles are not as important as usability. But i want to import straight to iMovie, i don't want to get freeware, no conversions, or anything. That's more work than i want to spend. Any help?
yeah, i've upped my dollar level to 380ish tops,
Sony, i've found that the only one i could really get would be the tx1 or wx1, but they don't come out till sept, and october, so too bad there, Or perhaps the Sony W290, that was an option, there was one thing i didn't like about it though, don't remember what it was, hmmm, otherwise i didn't see something i had to have
If i could wait, I think no doubt i would get the tx1 when it came out,
SOOO, I've settled on the Canon SD960, has all the features i believe i want. I was gonna go with the SD970, but the 960 is smaller and a tad cheaper. I was looking at the SD780 for some time, however, the picture quality came into ? as well as video quality. Haven't seen those complaints as far as video is concerned. Of course there are always gonna be naysayers. All the sample images i've seen look great, reviews seem to be good also. So for now, I think I'm going with the SD960.
Further, I was looking really close at the Lumix ZS3, as stated above, but it's too big for my liking, the whole Lumix line seems to be on the large size, compared to other compacts, especially the Sony cyber shot's which seem to be quite small in comparison with other brands. Overall though it seemed like a great camera.
Still not sure why i'm passing on the Sony W290......and am also VERY, tempted to wait altogether and get the WX1 or TX1, but i really don't want to wait, if i take great care of it, perhaps i can still return it after my trip !!! Walmart takes anything back if you say it *****....... -
Digital Camera Movie Clips in iMovie, FCE or FCP?
I was wondering if anyone has come across a digital camera that takes movie clips in a format that can either be edited straight in iMovie, FCE, FCP or one that takes the clips in a format that can be easily converted over to something that one of those three programs use. Thanks.
Virtually any of the Sony digital stills cameras will shoot 30fps as long as you use a Memory Stick (..or smaller Memory Stick Duo..) Pro as the memory chip. The faster access speed of the Pro chips lets you shoot at 30fps.
Similarly with other, such as Fuji, cameras: as long as there's a high-speed chip in there, such as a high-speed Compact Flash card, you'll probably be able to get 30fps (frames per second). Check the instructions on the camera box, or camera manual.
However, some jerkiness may be apparent when using iMovie HD, as that tends to offer 'DV 29.97' as the frame rate for 30fps movies, whereas, I think, things were smoother in previous versions of iMovie, in which the 'NTSC' choice (29.97 or 30fps) really did seem to use 30fps instead of 29.97.
That's been my experience, anyway.
[..See a quick'n'dirty comparison here for QuickTime 7 users, or (a rather more jerky version) here for QuickTime 6 users..] -
While importing from my digital camera (Olympus XZ-2), it "unexpectedly quits" - seems to happen on slightly larger clips (over 90 seconds) - not sure if it is related to the model camera or iMovie 11'. Any advice?
Lion is 10.7, Snow Lepoard is 10.6, Leopard is 10.5.
I woul strongly recomend you update to 10.6.8 (the last snow lepoard update) for a number of reasons. First 10.6.8. is a solid OS at this point you won't have to many (or any) gotcha's. Second Leopard (10.5.x) is going away. Pretty sure there will be no more updates for it at this point. If not it won't be long before that happens. Also you will need to have 10.6.8 installed in the event you want to at some point upgrade to Lion.
But finally perhaps the most important point if you don't have 10.6.8 you can't acess the App Store and if you can;t acess the App Store you will need to get the boxed version of Aperture 3. The differerence in price between the boxed version and the App Store version will more then pay for the upgrade to Snow Leopard. In fact you should have a fair bit of change left over.
good luck -
Out of sync audio when trying to capture from digital 8 camera to quicktime, please help
Just trying to capture hi 8 tapes using a sony digital 8 dcr-trv355e pal into quicktime;
great clear video but audio becomes out of sync like a bad kungfu movie,
contacted apple they tried to help, but they dont really understand issue
there are lots of people out there that are trying to digitise old analog video;
I have fcpx and imovie they both play the old video via the digital 8 camera but cannot capture;
that is why using quicktime; thanks!!Yes i think its something to do ith the fact its a wmv file, when i use mpeg footage it exports fine.
basically, no matter how long the video, the video is out of sync...its weird
i've decided the best thing to do is leave quicktime and export using windows media instead, that seems to give me a better looking picture witha small file size anyway
thanks for your help though!
