No audio when recording a movie on iMovie?

I recorded a movie of myself as an intended blog video for YouTube but there is no audio when I play it back.
I have checked System Preferences to ensure built-in microphone settings are good and they are.
I have a 2011 Macbook Pro with up-to-date software.
I found my similar posts online to mine but no answers.
Operating System 10.7.5
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi
This is a bit unclear to me.
No audio when recording
No Video-editing program I know off play any feedback (at standard settings) while recording. FinalCut is even worse that it doesn't play the sound while importing from Camera either (one need to connect speakers to the Camera-audio-out to get this)
So first - I'm not sure if You can get audio out while recording in iMovie at all.
BUT
If there is no sound - When Your captured video is played back - then the problem is more severe and I would start with.
• Trashing iMovie pref and cache files
and see if that helps.
Please - be more descriptive - so that one can do the same actions to see if Your problem is Yours only or if it is the same on more Macs.

  • In iMovie why do I get a buzz in my audio when recording a movie?  Is it interference in the house?

    When I make a movie in iMovie using the Macbook cam the audio or video buzzes?  Is this outside interference

    Check your audio input source.  In iMovie, select the 'microphone' icon and make sure you've got the built-in microphone selected.  Just to make sure...you're not importing the project.?.?.?...it's directly from the MacBook cam?

  • When making an movie with iMovie from photos, some photos seems to move when watching on a screen. Too much light ? Too much white ?

    When making a movie with iMovie from Photos, some of them seems to move when watching on screen or TV.
    It seems to be a brillance problem but I tried to make the light or the blank lower without result.

    Hello
    The movement you see on photos in iMovie is most likely the Ken Burns motion effect, which you can modify or turn off.

  • No audio when recording video iPhone 6 (4.7in)

    I just got my 6 and love it, but I have noticed that I have ZERO audio when recording video, but rather some feedback.
    I have tried rebooting and powering off/on. Nothing has worked.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. I hope my phone doesn't have an issue.
    Thanks,
    Geoff

    Nevermind, I had the back covered. Silly me to think it used the same microphone on the bottom of the phone..

  • No audio when recording movie with iPhone 4

    When I record a movie, my phone does not record audio. I am sure not to cover the mic area, and all it records is static.

    Had same issue from an iPad.
    After airplaying a movie rented on the iPad I had no sound from iPod app on iPad and also an audio stream in Safari would not Airplay to Apple TV 2.
    Videos were fine playing video and audio over Airplay. Photos app was happily airplaying images.
    All OK after reset on ATV2

  • Poor Results When Importing QT movie Into iMovie HD

    My Panasonic FX9 digital camera has a Movie Mode that records in QT (.mov) at 640x480 at 30fps. The resulting movies look fantastic in Quicktime 7. However, when I import the same movie into iMovie HD, there are noticeable artifacts, and the picture doesn't look very good anymore. By contrast, my Sanyo VPC-C6 MPEG-4 video camera, which is also 640x480 at 30fps, doesn't look as good as the FX9 to begin with, but looks identical in both Quicktime and iMovie HD.
    Any thoughts?

    Never mind.....I created a new user (again), and all is well. Also, the original question has been answered: the final quality of the converted QT movie on DVD is better than the playback in iMovie, even in best quality mode. Also, in comparing the Sanyo's MPEG-4 vs the Panasonic's QT Movie Mode, it makes me wonder why no one has created a QT-based camcorder like the MPEG-4 camcorders. Yes, the files are larger, but I would trade less recording time for better quality. I understand that Sanyo will becoming out with a 1280 v 720 "HD" version of my VPC-C6 soon, so maybe the quality will get better.
    Thanks for the help!

  • No Audio When Recording via FaceTime Camera

    For whatever reason, if I record video via the built-in "FaceTime" camera on my MacBook Pro, I cannot get any audio with the clip. I know my MacBook will record audio as I've done so via GarageBand - so I know the built in mic works and will record audio, it simply won't do so in iMovie using the FaceTime camera.
    Any suggestions?
    ETA: It appears that although I've not touched any of my sound preferences, somehow the audio output volume for the microphone was muted.

    I don't know why you are not getting sound when recording directly into iMovie.  Is the sound working for other clips?
    A workaround could be to record the video using Quicktime player then import the resulting file into iMovie.

  • Buzz on audio when recording and in playback - new mini mac?

    Up until now I have been recording on a Macbook Pro, however I have recently moved onto a Mac Mini and that's when this problem started...
    I am having trouble because when I play audio and the R button is on theres a high fuzz/ buzz/ ringing sound along with what I am playing. This is recorded and I can hear it when I listen back too. What's weird is that there's a dead silence between the notes. When recording software instruments through a usb midi keyboard it works and playback as it should.
    I have tried changing the usb input of my sound card, using different instruments incase it's a buzz from that, changing the leads, and also checked the sound card still works fine with my old Macbook Pro. All this is fine. (I use an Alesis IO4 sound card)
    All I can think is theres something I don't understand that I haven't done properly in Logic since installing it on the Mac Mini which differs to how it is set up on the macbook. That, or something is wrong with the Mac Mini itself however it's brand new from Apple.
    Please help if you can shed any light on this.
    I hope this makes some sense!

    I would suggest providing an audio sample of the "fuzz/buzz/ringing sound" so that people can better guess what the problem is.
    Noise comes from many places, and there are many types of noise.
    Hard to take a shot in the dark otherwise.

  • No audio when recording with isight

    When I try to record anything with imovie 08 and the built-in isight camera, there is no sound. The video works fine, but no sound. The microphone works, I've used it in other programs, but it just won't work in imovie. Any ideas?

    Hello lgpuma13
    If you have not quit and restarted iMovie, doing so may correct your problem. If not, restart your Mac and test again with no other AV apps running during the test. If neither restart helps, consider the following ideas.
    I read your post to mean you have no sound when you playback your movie, not merely when you move the pointer back and forth (or “skim”) over the clips.
    If the above is not your problem, check your Audio Adjustments for appropriate volume or other settings that might effect your level.

  • No Audio when converting a movie from iphoto into iweb.

    Hi there,
    I have a Sony Camera W17 which takes stills and short movies. I often grab little bit so film of the kids.
    Today it was my daugthers birthday so I am in a hurry to get stuff up on my web page as we have moved to the opposite side of the world to our family.
    So heres the problem. When I import the stills and movie I use iphoto and I can see all in there (although the duplicate option is crap for movies).
    Now if I import them from the camera into imovie or copy across from iphoto I lose my sound. I really want to use the compressing function in imovie so I can add to my web page via iweb. The problem is that I lose the sound so I resort to copying the file in iphoto and taking it straight to iweb. These files are too large for most people to view.
    Has anyone gots any tips as to how I get around this? What is causing the sound to get lost yet I can hear it in iphoto. I read somewhere that says its to do with the file type but I am not sure.
    Thanks for your help.
    Poppetbed.

    Are you losing the sound on the movies or the stills?

  • No audio when importing quicktime movies

    I have a set of Quicktime movies that I'm trying to edit in FCE. I can hear the audio without any problems in Quicktime, but not in FCE.
    When I import the files, I get no audio waveforms; the meter bars seem to move ever so slightly, but it's hard to tell. Boosting the audio level has no effect at all.
    Details about the QT files:
    - 1v, 1a track
    - 29.97 fps
    - DV/DVCPRO NTSC
    Audio:
    - mono mix
    - 48 KHz
    - 24-bit integer
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the same problem, though I don't know as much about audio and video formats as I should. Two questions follow:
    My footage plays fine, with audio, in QuickTime, but when I try to import into FCE, it only imports video.
    Also, for some reason, I also cannot import these files into iMovie. I get to the step where it asks which movie I'm looking to import, and it won't let me choose as in won't let me physically click on a file a movie file.
    Problem with iMovie is that it does not automatically generate thumbnails anymore, for some reason, and I can't figure out how to get it to generate them.
    Do you have advice for these two issues (in relative layman's terms?) Thank you so much in advance.

  • No Audio when recording with built -in mic

    i have used imovie HD for a while no and when i record with my macbook, it makes perfect video with sound. i have just done my first recording with imovie '08 and there is no sound at all. my setting are set to internal mic. is there something special i have to do to make it record both sound and audio?
    please help. i have recorded about an hour of work for future keynote presentations and would be destroyed if i had to remember everything i came up with.

    how do you do it?
    1. Create a New Basic Track
    2. Click the record button
    3. There is no step 3.

  • HP Pavilion m8160 - no audio when recording video

    I have a Pavilion M8160.be with Asustek Tiger TV/video capture card. When I attempt to record video via the front panel component sockets I can get rock solid video but no audio whatsoever.
    The machine originally came with Vista and I have downgraded to XP Pro, with all updates and latest drivers. Both Vista and XP give the same lack of audio. As to software, I have tried both Windows Movie Maker and NCH software's Debut recording software. I have ruled out any problem with the source by trying two different VHS players and a DVD player.

    Nevermind, I had the back covered. Silly me to think it used the same microphone on the bottom of the phone..

  • Just Static Instead of Audio When Recording Videos

    Just updated to 4.1 and no dice. Whenever I record videos it does not record audio as well, just static. When I first had the phone it worked fine. I've read other forum posts about it and not found anything useful to attempt. Fairly annoyed that I spend $200 and have to put up with crap like this. I'm taking it to an Apple repair place today to see what they can tell me. Hopefully it won't be that, "It just works," because quite apparently it does not.

    I use a PC for syncing, not sure what you mean by create a new user. I took it to the local Apple Authorized Dealer/Repair place yesterday (the nearest Apple store to me is in Orlando, about an hour's drive) and they informed me that I would most likely have to A: Send it back, B: Take it back to Apple and get a new phone.
    I'm fairly certain it is a software issue though, just from my experience in audio technology. The more I listen to it, the more I realize it's actually hiss and not static. Something like you'd get if your preamp was turned way down on a mic, but your main's were at 100%. You get all that low-end hiss and crap that's normal covered up by the audio, and the audio itself is very faint. It seems like it also might have something to do with the bluetooth setup too.
    I'm still fairly surprised that this issue is not being addressed by Apple directly. With as many PR disasters as they've had with this phone you'd think they would try and head something like this off at the pass. Oh well...
