No Audio When I Drag A Clip Into The Composition

When i try to put audio into a composition it is removed and no audio comes up. It is not a RAM preview issue as there is no audio to play. When i import any clip into after effects it works fine but if i try to add it to a composition the audio is taken away and there is not even a waveform. I tried converting the audio to a .wav format but that still doesnt work. I have tried this with after effects cs6 and cs5 but the prblem is the same. I have a mid 2011 imac with an i5 processor. I have even tried using bootcamp and trying to use after effects on the windows side but i still have the same problem. Please help as this is getting frustrating and it's probably a simple issue.
Thanks.

Yeah, convert whatever kind of MPEG file you're using to something like Quicktime's PNG or animation codecs -- with audio, of course -- and try again. MPEG files can contain multiplexed, or muxed, audio: the audio is embedded in the video, there's no separate audio track, so AE can't see it.
Astounded by the large size of the file after conversion? Get used to it.

Running FCP6.06 on lion and losing one audio trac when I drag a clip to the sequence

I was able to get FCP6.06 working on my new macBook pro with lion. Edited for over a week. Now it is acting up. When I drag a clip into the timeline only track 2 audio shows up. any ideas?

Make sure the track selectors are connected properly in the patch section on the left part of the Timeline.

Fairly new to PP. When I drag a clip from the media browser only the video goes into the timeline. It doesn't allow the audio. What could I be doing wrong?

Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes.

Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes. The import appears to have occured successfully despite the crash as it is in the folder when I reopen FCPX. But having to restart the program every time I import is annoying and suggests the program is deficient. The only imports I have tried so far are from iMovie, its sister program.

Have you tried dumping the preferences file, always my first item when issues arise in the FC family. Second, have you tried different file types? It could be a file issue, FCX not recognizing it (letting you import, but throwing up afterwards).

Imported analog video successfully and it is normal in the "Event" pane but when I move a clip into the "Project" pane, it enlarges it slightly and distorts it. How can I keep that from happening?

1) Make sure that your project is in the same aspect ratio as your camera. If your camera shoots 16:9. make a 16:9 project.
2) Check the clip inspector for the clip in your project to see if Image Stabilization is turned on. Stabilization works by zooming in, so you may want to turn it off.

Why can't I drag a clip into the timeline?

I just loaded PP CD5 onto my Win 7 laptop. I can import movie clips into my project, but I can't drag any of those clips into the timeline. When I try to drag them, I get a hand with a "do not enter" symbol. No error messages of any kind.
I vaguely remember having this same issue when I loaded PP CS5 on my Win 7 desktop several months ago, and I thought I found something on the forums that told me how to fix it, but I can't find it now. Perhaps a change in the preferences?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Did you actually create a sequence? If not, go to File > New > Sequence, or drag one of your clips to the New Item icon at the bottom of the Project Panel. You can also click that to get the New Sequence option.

When I drag a loop into the arrange area, it sounds completely different from how it sounds in the loop menu. What am I doing wrong. (I've started using Logic 9 today)

When I drag a loop into my arrange area, it no longer sounds the way it did in my loops menu.

Hi, do you mean song key wise not sounding the same? Then this might be the reason:

Problem dragging a clip into the timeline.

Hi
I'm having problems dragging video into my timeline. I can drag audio in but not video.
I've completed projects before and never had any problems, this happened halfway through a project and I can't seem to get it to work.
It will let me import audio but not video?
Many thanks
Mike

Custom icons not showing up when I drag a folder into the dock

I have a dock in 10.6 (on the left side, going vertical, if that matters). I've dragged a few folders into it, each containing Aliases to various programs. I've set custom icons on these folders, so I can tell at a glance what's in each folder (since it won't fan out for a vertical dock). But even after I rebooted, the dock isn't showing my custom icons but rather kind of an overlay of the various icons in each folder. What am I doing wrong?

Right-click on the Dock icon>choose Display as Folder

When I drag a picture into the timeline it is magnified like 7 times, and can't use it

I was using Adobe 8.0 Premier all year and all this weekend. Everything worked fine. (I never upgraded to 9.0 becasue presets won't carry over and didn't want to recreate all of them)
I decided to do an instant movie. When it started the title page was really magnified. I didnt tlike the order, so I quit the process and restarted PE8.
Upon restarting, every image I drag to the timeline is magnified like 5 to 7 times. If I double click the image form the project tray the image looks good. I just can't drag and drop. I need to edit effect to .13% of value in the motio tab to get the picture to fit.
I uninstalled 8 and reinastalled. I installed the updates. Still nothing. I cant figure out what is happening.
Is there a setting or something.
Thanks Chuck
(One goofy thing I noticed after the Instant Movie goof - all my pictures in the tray have like a little (red circle and green square) icon in the upper right.

Under Edit> Preferences> General uncheck "Default Scale to Frame Size". This will work for future added stills. For those already added right-click the image in the timeline and uncheck "Scale to Frame Size".
Cheers,
Neale

Pasting Clips into the Timeline cuts content?

Why is it that when I paste a clip into the timeline (video only - no audio)
it cuts the audio track (sometimes erasing a portion equal to the
incoming clip)?
I end up pasting content past the end of the timeline, and dragging
it far back to the left, which takes up a lot of time...

I was having the same problem whether I dragged or pasted,
I thought it was the same root problem, sorry.
Will try what you recommend.
EDIT:
The downward arrow works fine for dragging, but what causes the other arrow?

Strange bug -- pull a clip into the timeline, now I can't see it!

Has anyone else had this happen, and have they managed to fix it?
After importing video into iMovie 06, when I pull a clip into the timeline I suddenly get only audio, no video. The screen is black. I'm stumped.

Hi,
this has happened both to an existing project that I had in iMovie 5 and a new one that I started on iMovie 6. The clips look ok in the clip viewer, then in the timeline they become just black squares which play nothing. I have managed to get some of them to work by removing the transitions that I had in on the clips although I am not sure quite why that worked. As well as just black, I have also had just white when I try to play clips.
There seems to be a further problem with the transitions in that the application will not let me progress on to a selected clip (which is not black) while there is a transition in place. It continues just to play the last clip that was successfully selected (or stays on a black clip) regardless of what is highlighted. As soon as the transition is removed, I can then view the selected clip which makes me wonder if the issue is tied to the transitions...If you have transitions in your timeline, it may be worth removing them to see if this helps you get the clip visibility back although it has not worked in all cases for me.

Everytime I drag a clip onto the timeline and it like scales up?

Okay, so ya know when you drag a clip onto the timeline and it asks you if you wanna change the sequence settings or keep them. I usually keep them but this time I checked dont ask again and now its zoomed in and I feel stupid!

W cant help much with feeling stupid...
But create a new sequence and start again is what we might advise.

Dragging clips into the movie - iMovie HD

After shooting a clip with the bult-in iSight, when I try to drag the clip into the project, it wont move, and the clip turns grey.
I have no idea what is going on.
Help?
Please and thank you!
Michael

The project isn't HD. The sequence is. You can multiple formats in one project. Use Ease Setup to change the preset and then make a new sequence.
