No audio with imported MPEG movie

I'm importing an MPEG movie that i shot on my Sony DSC-W50 digital camera into imovie. (The movie is no longer on the camera, it's on the hard drive) The video portion imports perfectly, but there is no audio. Anyone have a solution?

Dropping audio when importing mpeg

i have a 60 second MPEG movie i need to make 1 change to. it works in my FINDER it works when i open it in QUICKTIME, it even worked in ITUNES but when i import into FCP i lose the audio. Any thoughts?

Does anybody know if Apple is working on a plug-in for FC that will allow the import of MPEGs with muxed audio? I run a local television station and we use professional video recorders such as TriCaster and Turbo and they both export in MPEG. To date, every show we shoot that needs to be edited in FC must be converted using MPEG Streamclip and it's a seemingly unnecessary step that's beginning to drive my post supers insane. I'm also assuming there is quality loss as well. Any tips?

No Sound in Project with Imported MPEG 4

I am new to iDVD.
My first project is to just make a video from a short MPEG 4 movie clip.
I imported the movie into iDVD and dropped it in. It plays fine except there is NO sound.
When I press the select button in the on screen remote it plays the clip with sound.
Any help appreciated.

... fine, you found a workaround ...
the iLife package is a ... ehm... package, a suite of tools, which are intended to work together... therefore, iM is meant to work with firewire connected miniDV (=no mepgs), iDVD is meant to work with output of this app (=dv) ... and so on...-
they are NOT meant as "all-purposes"-app... as many PCuser like to use Word for layouts, Excel for painting, PowerPoint for moviemaking... nooo, in the Apple World simplicity&convience is accomplished by restrictions of the app ..
in other words: you try to teach the old dog new tricks... means: could work, could not work..
and as mentioned above: video codecs is a VERY complicated issues.. there're ~4000 codecs swirrling thru the web...
if you use the iApps as intended, no double-import etc are needed...
think about investing into tools as QTpro or VisualHub (http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/), which are "converters".. iDVD expects "dv-streams"... THEN it works like charm...
happy editing, encoding, converting ...

Import MPEG movie files

How do import files that are saved from my camera in MPEG movie format? The files end in ".MPG"

Don't you need to purchase the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple) to do this?
On a similar subject (I posted elsewhere but with no reply)...
is there any benefit in purchasing Quicktime Pro rather than the MPEG2 component? Will Quicktime Pro achieve the same result? Reason I ask is that the codec costs $20 and Quicktime Pro £20 so not too much difference in price. I could see me using QT Pro in the future but I only have 2 dvds of home movies in VOB format that I'd like to convert, and am unlikely to have any more in the future. Hence making the codec purchase a one off payment of $20...
Any advice?

No audio when importing MPEG-2 files

I am importing MPEG-2 files from a Sony SR40 HDD camera. The video imports fine, but there is no audio track. I am connecting with a USB cable. Any ideas?

the mpeg2 files mux (mix) the audio & video together in one stream.
To work with the files in FCP, you must demux them. The application MPEG Streamclip can do this for you. Google it, it's free.

Problem with importing a movie made in Keynote

Hello
I need to import a movie of a slideshow that I made with keynote into iMovie, but when I do so the slideshow movie from keynote is clipped/cropped by the screen in iMovie. How do I fix this?

Burning Keynote presentations in iDVD
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2936
Contributor Old Toad has added the following excellent advice:
To get the keynote presentation into an iDVD slideshow that you can advance slide by slide with a DVD player remove you need to convert each Keynote slide to a jpg file. To to this go to the view all slide window, select all of the slides and type Command+P to start a print job.
While in the print window click on the PDF button at the bottom and select "Save PDF to iPhoto" from the drop down menu. That will create a 200 dpi jpg file of each slide of the presentation.
Next add those slides to a slideshow in iDVD and select slide duration to Manual. Now the finished DVD is played the DVD player remote will control the advance of the slide.
I suggest you follow this workflow to create the DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
As far as having no menu you must have a menu to fall back into once the presentation has finished. If you want just a black screen use one of the old themes like Brushed Metal, Burlap, Sage or Graphite and put a blank, black image file in as the background. You will have to have a button or text button in the menu so choose text and set the text to black if you want a fully blank menu. Be sure to set the highlight color for the text button to black also.
Finally follow Klaus1's method of dragging the slideshow into the autoplay bin while in the Map mode so the slideshow will start automatically when the disk is inserted into the player.

CS4 MacOS X update to 4.0.1 No audio in imported MPEG files (AC3)

After update my Premiere Pro MacOS X to 4.0.1 ver,
no audio in impoted MPEG-2 (*.mpg) files whith AC3 audio.
How to install AC3 codec to Adobe Premiere in Mac Os X ???
I have installed AC3 codec (AC3 Codec 0.4 component) in folders:
system/library/QuickTime
system/library/Components
library/Components
library/QuickTime
but this does not solve the problem.

Was the 4.01 update supposed to add AC3 editing capability, something Premiere has traditionally not had in the past? I thought it was only supposed to add AC3
export capability (seeing as AC3 is a delivery format, and not a good choice for editing).

Encore: Audio from imported mpeg goes missing 1/4 of the way through the video

I have an mpeg that I imported into Encore and the audio stops working part of the way through the video. There are no issues with the audio outside of Encore...it plays throughout the entire video. Any suggestions on what could be the issue?

Rob,
Never used Elements, so not familiar with what the Export options are. However, H.264 is best used an a delivery format and not an "intermediate" codec. By first converting to H.264, then letting Encore transcode again, there is quality loss. If you must use an intermediate, an .avi would be a better choice, something high-quality with less compression. For instance the free Lagarith or UT codecs are great (just download/install) if Elements export options would let you configure something like that. Basically a lossless encode step (or as close to lossless as possible). Then bring that .avi into Encore.
To add to Stan's comment, IF Elements does have an "H.264 Blu-ray" export option available, that should result in .m4v and .wav clips, m2t is not part of the equation.
Thanks
Jeff

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.
JY

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 with imported AVCHD Clips in PE 11

I have Premiere Elements v11.0 running on a Windows 8 machine. I have updated PE and no more updates are available.
The AVCHD video I am importing is full HD, PAL at 25 fps. The audio is 384kbps 6 channels with audio sample rate of 48kHz. I can import and edit these clips into Premiere Elements V7.0 running on a Windows 7 PC without any problems. The project settings used are HDV 720.
With Elements V11.0, the audio is not being imported which ever project settings I try. There are no error messages.
I have the latest version of Quick Time (7.7.4) installed, although QuickTime doesn’t understand the file. Windows Media Player plays it OK – video and audio. VLC media player also plays it OK.
Is this a missing codec, a bug or some other problem?
Suggestions please?

Robsodav
In spite of the questions to follow, I did see that you wrote
With Elements V11.0, the audio is not being imported which ever project settings I try. There are no error messages.
And, no problems with audio in Premiere Elements 7 Windows 7 64 bit.
Just want to go over your details so as not to take anything for granted.
What are the properties of your source media? What is the file extension? You say AVCHD Full HD, PAL at 25 fps. and you add the project settings used are HDV 720. Why?
The project preset is supposed to match the properties of your source media. From what you wrote, my read on that is that you have
AVCHD video compression 1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 25 (probably interlaced) frames per second.
If so, the project preset should be PAL AVCHD Full HD 1080i25 5.1 channel.
If that is 1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 25 progressive frames per second
then the project preset should be PAL DSLR 1080p DLSR 1080p25.
So, what is the rationale behind setting the project preset for what you describe at HDV 720 which I am taking to be 1280 x 720 @ 25 progressive frames per second?
What is your audio compression.... Dolby Digital 5.1 channel or AAC 5.1 channel or other?
What brand model camera is this video with its audio coming from?
How are you getting the video audio from camera to Premiere Elements11 Timeline?
Is it only the footage from this particular camera that is at issue?
Let us start here and see where your reply leads us.
Thank you.

ITunes won't play audio with mp4 or mov video

I have wasted many frustrating hours now trying to get iTunes to play mp4 and mov videos but can't get any sound. A few months back it was working fine. Tried ALL the suggested fixes like uninstalling, updating and checking all the MIME/File boxes. When I went back to QT 7.5 and played the files independently of iTunes everything was fine. Quicktime 7.6, 7.67 & 7.7.1 do not play the audio independently or under iTunes and of course iTunes won't play video with QT less than 7.7.1. The same mp4 videos uploaded to my iPOD work fine. I currently have iTunes 10.5.3.3 installed on a Windows XP SP3 on an e-machines pc. Ideas please!!

I got this problem as well. Seems as soon as I moved to version 7.6 it stopped playing my video audio. My music plays fine, but my video audio is non-existant. It's not the file itself because I can play off my iPod (though not off my iPod through iTunes) just fine. I've done all the suggestions above and NOTHING has worked. Is there anything else we can find???

PreProCs4 Rendering Issue with Imported QuickTime Movie

I made a hand drawn colour animation..frame by frame in Flash CS4. I exported the file as a Quick Time Movie and imported it into Prem Pro CS4. It looked fine until I rendered it. Now the previous and after frames show up like shadows on the actual image as it moves across the screen. Am I missing something? I read in my instruction book in Flash how to export animations so they can be used in Prem Pro so I don't understand why this is happening. Help.....

Hi Jeff... yes.. I figured this might be the case but my frame rate in Flash is 29.97 ..which is the same frame rate of my PremPro set up.
AVCHD Format
1920 x 1080
(non-anamorphic)
16:9 ratio
29.97 fpm
Attached is the frame shot as it should look like...minus the white work space... in Flash CS4. I saved it exported it as an .swf file as well as a QT movie and the results are the same.
I will be combining animation with actual footage for a children's music video so I used the same frame rate for both.
I appreciate your time and interest in helping me with this.

QT would not import MPEG movie error message:Could not parse it: 2048 help

Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Sounds like your file is MPEG-2 and you'll need some extra software to open it using QuickTime Player:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
It only allows playback and Pro (or the other "i" apps) can't export or convert the audio portion of these "muxed" files.
Yep. More software:

If you just wish to view the file try VLC:
