No audio when importing to Quicktime 7 Pro

I have looked for an answer in the forums but can't find one. I have an older MiniDV camcorder I am trying to get some video converted to digtal media. The videos play great when I watch them on the camcorder audio included.)I am using the firewire output and first tried iMovie (version 10.0.2) (I am on Mavericks). I was able to get video an sound but the video was so choppy it was just hard to watch, the audio with the video was OK, just choppy where the video kicked out. So I then downloaded Quicktime 7 and bought the Pro version and I was able to import the video with no choppiness at all but there was no audio. I have tried setting the microphone in the preferences to the camcorder and I have tired the different formats including raw but I still cannot get the audio to go with the video.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The reason I think this is worth trying... A G5 should have enough processor speed, but it lacks a graphics card that can offload the processor for some of the heavy lifting...therefore less resources available for audio.
Also, I would recommend that you create a duplicate of your project and cut it down to about 5 minutes or less (go to Project Library. Right-click on project name, and select Duplicate). Then you can test this without waiting 4-5 hours.

Audio when importing AVI in Premiere Pro 2.0

Hi everyone,
I'm a bit of a n00b at Premiere 2.0, but I'm slowly learning. When I import an AVI recorded with Bandicam, and try to play it, the video is fine, but the audio comes out as a constant high-pitched whistle, low rumbles, and other odd and garbled sounds, with no hint of the original audio. Can anyone help me with this? Using a clean install of Premiere Pro 2.0 with Windows 8.1.

>AVI recorded with Bandicam
AVI is a wrapper, what is inside YOUR wrapper - Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

No audio when importing AVCHD into FCP X? Simple solution.

After hours of trial and error and several phone calls to support, I figured out why my AVCHD footage (MTS files from a Canon vixia HF S100) had no audio when importing into FCPX. The solution was to simply uncheck the box - "Remove silent channels" - under Audio in the pop-up import window . That did the trick.
I had tried importing from a card reader, the camera and from an external hard drive and then tried 2 converter programs (MPEG streamclick and Wondershare Video Conerter Ultimate.)
Final Cut Pro X
OS X 10.8.2

It's usually something simple that can catch the best of us.

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.

No audio when importing footage under capture

When I'm importing footage from my camcorder into FCE there is audio in the caputure window & no levels on my audio meters. The camcorder I'm using is a ZR500 Mini DV using to import.
These are the steps I have done: File -> Easy Setup then Format: -> (all formats)
after that Use: DV-NTSC Firewire Basic.
Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
FCE 4?

Welcome aboard idw3,
Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
FCE 4?
That's normal for FCE. All versions have been the same. If you need to hear the audio use the cameras headphone socket if it has one.
All audio can be adjusted in the Timeline during editing as required.

When importing a Quicktime file into iMovie the audio is inconsistently synchronised with the video. Any ideas?

I record using Quicktime and the built in webcam on my MacBook Pro. When importing the file to iMovie the audio is inconsistent in its syncronisation with the video. Any ideas?

This is probably caused by the internal webcam on Apple devices being optimized for FaceTime rather than for movie making. In FaceTime, the goal is to transmit the information using a little bandwidth as possible, so the video will be recorded at a variable frame rate. The frame rate will get low if you are still, and will speed up if there is a lot of motion.
To fix, I would suggest that you use a free app like MPEG Streamclip. Drag the clip into MPEG Streamclip and export it out at a constant framerate.
If it is an HD movie, I suggest exporting it from MPEG Streamclip using FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video compression. For sound, choose uncompressed 48khz. That should work, but I can't test it right now. If MPEG Streamclip does not work for you, let me know and I can recommend another free tool.

Missing audio track when importing video into Premiere Pro CS3

When I import my M2TS video into the editor there is no audio when viewed in the source. There is also no audio track when I drag a clip down to the timeline. Any fix for this?

I have the same problem with M2TS files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The audio track is there - Adobe Premiere just doesn't recognize it. If you open the same clip in Nero Showtime, Corel Ulead VideoStudio, etc., the audio will be there. The audio is probably multiplexed.
I have been recording High Definition TV using the Hauppauge HD PVR 1212. About 15-20 % of the M2TS files recorded will be seen as video only clips by Adobe Premiere. The remaining clips will be conformed by Premiere and you will have a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. If you convert the video only clips to .MP4 and then re-import them into Premiere you will then have the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track back and you're good to go.
I use either Xilisoft or Arcsoft media converters to change to .MP4 files. If you use Arcsoft you will have to render the clip. The files converted by Xilisoft don't have to be rendered for playback.

No audio when imported

I am using premiere pro 2 now. I shoot in Sony handycam with HDD. When I copy the footage files to my computer and import them to premiere pro 2, it works fine. Audio and video work perfect. When I import the same files to premiere pro cs3, the audio does not work. My files are in MPG2 format. The same problem happened with cs4 and cs5. Anyone please help me.

Welcome to the forum.
What is the Audio CODEC in those files, AC3 perhaps?
If it IS AC3, then you will need to go to your Encore CS 3 installation, and locate the AC3 .dll file (do not have that exact name handy, but it is different than the one in EncoreDVD 2.0. Copy that to the PrPro CS 3 root folder, and the AC 3 material should then play.
If it is AC3 and worked in PrPro 2.0, it is likely that at some time, you copied that .dll into PrPro 2.0's root folder.
As of about PrPro CS 4.2, that .dll file was installed in PrPro, so the AC3 issue became moot.
If your Audio CODEC is something else, please let us know what that is.
Good luck,

CS4 - no audio when importing an avi or mpeg

Hello I am trying to figure out why there is no audio when I import an avi created with Fraps. The audio is in the avi made from Fraps but when I import it to premiere pro CS4 - there is no audio during playback. I checked all the audio hardware settings, I dont know what else to do.

While not particularly FRAPS, this ARTICLE will give you some pointers on other video-capture programs.
As John points out, there are several FRAPS threads to draw from too.
Good luck,

No Audio when Importing?

Can anyone let me know if there's a way of getting the audio to work when importing... it always used to work before in previous versions of iMovie... is there some setting I am doing wrong... whether it's on Manual or Automatic... the footage imports silent.
Any comments most welcome.
Regards,
Anthony

Because I was using an old camera (without firewire) I had to capture with my PC using DVD Director Pro. That works great, thanks<<</div>
You have no DV device for working with FCP? No camcorder, deck or converter? If you do, connect the analog outs of the old playback device to the analog inputs of your DV device, then connect a Firewire cable from the DV device to your Mac. Set FCP's capture control to "Non-Controllable Device" and hit Capture Now. This method works fine for everyone I know for capturing virtually any analog format (VHS, 8mm/Hi8, BetaMax, 3/4", etc). You'll have much better quality than going to MPEG first, and if you have a TBC lying around to run the analog signal through, you can get some rock-stable footage.

Video quality changes when imported into Final Cut Pro

I have video files that I have imported from an external hard drive that were transferred from an HD camera. When viewing the footage directly from the hard drive, the quality is great. Once imported into Final Cut Pro, however, there are small "flares" (don't know how else to describe them) that appear for split seconds across the screen. The best way to describe it is if you are watching a television that has an antenna, there will be static or interferance on the image. This is barely noticable but I can't determine what would cause the decline in quality. My video settings are set to DV NTSC 48 kHz and wonder if this is the problem or if anyone knows of something else that I should change prior to importing.

Thank you so much for your help! I am technically challenged and STRUGGLING to say the least.
Some files are definitely H.264 and I can convert them to ProRes. I also have clips that are
DVCPRO HD 1080p25, 1,440 x 1,080 (1,888 x 1,062)
Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
Current Size: 1,440 × 810 pixels
Will I need to do anything to those as well?
Here is the question I'm afraid to ask because I think I know the answer already. Can I simply replace the clips in my sequence with the newly compressed ProRes files or do I have to change all of the video and sequence settings and then start all over?

Render quality drops when importing sequences from Premiere Pro CS4

Hello,
I have both AE and Premiere Pro CS4, and, because my Media Encoder doesn't work (a common problem, apparently), I import my sequences into AE to render. However, I've noticed a marked drop in quality in the sequence when imported into AE as opposed to when it's in Premiere Pro. It's comparable to a "Full" dropping to a "Half" when changing preview render quality in AE. What am I doing wrong? Is there some simple way to match the quality of the AE Comp (that has the PP sequence in it) to what the original Premiere Pro project has? Should I not be putting the PP project into a new comp in AE before I render it out? Is there another way that can retain the quality of the original Premiere Pro project?
This is urgent, as I need this rendered by Monday. Any help would be appreciated! Obviously, this is the first major project I've done this "workaround" with. I wish AME worked, but it doesn't for me.
Thanks!

By default, the Ram preiew resolution is adaptative and not full quality, as it's just to "preview". You can switch this behavior to full quality, and by default, when you render, it will always be "Full quality" before being compressed by your output module.
You can check the Ram preview doc and the rendering doc from the AE help.
Hope that helps,
Seb

Gaps in audio when importing clips?

When I try to import clips from my camcorder to imovie, quite often it happens there are little gaps with no sound (easy to hear, and visible in audio wave as gaps as well).
When I connect the camcorder to the TV set, then the sound is fine, thus assume it cannot be a mistake in recording.
I've also exchanged the firewire cord, still the problem continues...
Would be extremely grateful for any help...

Hello BCRC,
What make / model computer are you using?
What operating system?
What program are you using to burn the DVD's and CDs?
By gaps are you meaning that there is a gap from one track to the next and you are looking to burn gapless discs, or are you referring to the audio actually skipping parts of the audio when burning?
