No sound after HDV material import

Hi,
I am not knew at iMovie, but am new at iMovie HD.
After importing HDV material from a Canon HV30 camera, and saving it, I find that the Audio is not heard on playback. I have to close the application and re-open it ... and the sound is heard.
Has anyone of you encountered that sort of problem ? As per specifications, the audio is recorded in Mpeg1, 16bit, 48khz. Is that the problem ?
Thanks for any feedback.

PS I use a MBP 15", with all latest software updates.

Hello Ira,
your problem is a little different: you tried to import an MPEG clip into iMovie but iM doesn't work with the muxed audio stream.
Have a look at Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ:
1. Can't hear audio in iMovie when I import an MPEG clip
http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6030.shtml
2. Mpeg clips from digital cameras

and also Matti Haveri's website: How can I edit MPEG or convert DVD or MPEG to DV

hope this helps

Problems with (a) import of .MPEG files (b) HDV material /tape

I have issues several issues with *Final Cut Express 4.0* and iMovie '09 which might be related. Basically the *import of HDV material* seems to be impossible, at least with the camera I use. I really hope this is not the case!
I currently try to convert from the Windows environment to Mac. On my Windows Vista system I use Premiere Elements 7 as a default software for video manipulation. The *HDV camera* I use is a tape based *HV-20 from Canon*. The import on the Windows system is done be a 4-pin to 4-pin Firewire cable which worked fine. The result is a file in format .mpeg.
When I try to import tapes on the iMac I firstly discovered - a new cable is required. The iMac uses the 9-pin Firewire 800. So I have this cable. However it seems this does not solve the issue. *Neither Quicktime nor iMovie nor Final Cut Express 4.0 can even recognize the HV-20 camera from Canon.* What could be the reason? (remember the same camera setting is recognized by the windows system).
Secondly I have issues in transferring my collection of .mpeg files to the iMac. Here I found out a mpeg-codec exists for Quicktime (applicable from Quicktime 7 onwards). This codec needs to be bought separately - however it didn't help in this case. Quicktime recognize now the .mpeg file but the screen remained black and the sound is silence. So, *how can I import .mpeg files into Final Cut Express 4.0*?
I seek for some good advice here. Hope somebody can help. Thanks.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Welcome to the forum.
You have to select Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 in easy setup dialog to capture from this camera.
No need of MPEG quicktime component at this stage. HDV is transcoded to AIC.
Here's an example of workflow when working with HDV material edited in HD sequence:
It's a must to use the correct setup in easy setup dialog to fit your shooted material on tape.
Here's the steps to follow if you want to edit in HD (by the way some camcorders can shoot in HD mode or DV NTSC mode: wide or standard screen (or pal for european model).
On the FX1
-find the camera menu and set the recording format to HDV (it sould be 1080i60 (1080i50 for FX1E model)as it's the HDV format used by this model).
-Set the output format to automatic or 1080i (this is the type of signal that will be outputed by your camcorder upon capture via firewire).
-turn off you camcorder and mac.
-Plug both devices with a firewire cable.
-turn on the FX1 AND the mac.
-Start FCE
In Final Cut Express 4.0.1
-Use "Easy Setup..." command in Final Cut express menu , select HD in format tab, 29.97 in rate tab and HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 (or AIC 1080i50 for european models). Click "Setup" button.
-From this point, any new sequences and capture session will occur in Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 (the format used to edit in HDV).
-Use command-8 to open the capture window. HDV is captured via a simple dialog. There are no capture settings or log clips info.
-Start your camcorder in *VCR mode*(the play button on camcorder or on remote) and click the capture now button into FCE HD.
NOTES: there is no sound from your MAC upon capturing. There is a lag time between what is played on your cam and what you can see on your mac screen, so use the camcorder screen to monitor the content.
-Hit the "ESC" key when you want to stop the capturing process.
Once the esc key is pressed, your mac will continue to process the captured material and the capture window should close.

Only half of the video clips have sound after import to Premiere Pro

Hi!
When I import my .MTS fukes into Premiere Pro 2014 longer clips loose sound after half the clip. The clips themselves have sound because they are with sound when I watch them using VLC.
How can this sound issue be solved?

Thanks for the screenshot.
Hmm. I don't recall any other reports of a problem like this with MTS files. [Just today I was working on a similar issue with P2 content, but it was limited to spanned clips. Hence that question...]
First thing I'd try is to clear the media cache files, at least for the affected clips. You should find those files here: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\. If not there, then check Preferences>Media.

No sound after upgrading to Windows 7 M55-S3293

I upgraded to Windows 7 and installed the drivers from Toshiba for my sound card and before installing checked the windows XP box under the compatibility tab. No sound. I did windows update for this driver and it installed an updated driver. No sound. I went to Realtek and installed the windows 7 generic driver for this sound card (thats all manufacturer's offer is a generic driver) and LOW sound. Now I rebooted and back to No sound.
Before windows 7 sound, after no sound.
Toshiba put out a fix for a contextant audio driver for the low sound problem to be corrected with windows 7 but I cannot find anything for my computer.
I don't know know what to do! I don't want to go back to using XP but sound is REALLY important. I would think this is an integrated sound card (Toshiba isn't making service manuals public anymore, it was there the other day and gone today) so I cannot remove it. I don't think I have any available PCI slots to install a new one internally and I don't want extrenal speakers since I do a lot of traveling.
Is there a fix I don't know about? What can I do? Please HELP!!!

Hi Ryan,
Go here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=1671893&pf=true
and download the software called "Sound Utility to Turn Mute Off After Upgrading to Vista", it is made for people that upgrade to VISTA, however, once you have all your Toshiba updates installed by downloading the Toshiba updates, then apply this update to your Windows7 system and the problem will resolve.
I don't know why they did not make this update part of the Toshiba Update Package.
I hope this helps,
best,
Alejandro

TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
Long shot but...
I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
Resolution
Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
Additional Information
This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
2. Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

Mono Sound after opening an iMovie HD-Project in FC Express HD

I captured HD-Material in iMovie. There it works in stereo. Now i just got mono sound after opening my iMovie HD-Project in FC Express HD. If i play the timeline, the sound of my HD-Clips is mono, all track-settings seamed to be on default mode. If i click one of the clips in the browser-window, i can see and hear the clip in the viewer in stereo. So the clip-material must be okay. Rendering the movie clips and audio clips in the timeline doesn't work. Connecting the clips with the original bin, doesn't work too.
I need help! Could you help me?
PowerPC G5, Dual 1.8 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

That's not right. Stereo here means the same sound split between two channels. When you open it into the viewer you see two audio waveforms in one display. They can be different, but they don't have to be. Dual mono means you have two separate tracks with different sound coming out of each speaker. In dual mono you have two separate tabs, one for each track, each of which can be controlled separately and have separate audio. That's the default capture condition for FCE. If you have separate tracks of audio in iMovie, two mono tracks attached to the video, they may not be preserved when they come into FCE. Do your clips have two separate, mono tracks of audio in iMovie? What happens to the clip when you open it from the browser into the viewer? Is it two mono tracks, or a stereo pair?

HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
(I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2)
And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

Hi
U need to create a FM with UPDATE MODULE attribute checked: so you fm can be run in UPDATE TASK
This fm has to have the same interface of the method of the BAID (or user-exit) or a parte of it, if you don't need to use all parameters of the interface.
All code to schedule the job has to be placed in this fm: you can use the fm JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE in order to scheule a job programmatically.
Call this fm in the BADI, the call has to be in UPDATE TASK, in this way your porgram can start as soon as all updating processes are over

Poor sound after updating to ISO 7

Poor sound after updating to ISO 7. Before updating i had terrific sound both on my music and videos I recorded with my cam, i had to turn it down. Now, after update, i put volym on Max and can hardly hear the music or whatever. Anyone else with same problem?

I also loved my iphone because it HAD great sound. Since the update of the iso7 for my iphone 4s, i am missing my calls because I cannot hear the phone ringing. The sound is so low even though I have it on the highest sound possible. The is something in the update that caused this problem among others such as the phone blinking out while I am viewing videos. Help Apple! THe battery is going from 100 percent to 20 percent in two hours even when I have almost turned off everything on my iphone. I need my sound back! Apple please find out what happened in your update that caused the loss of the sound!

Lost ipad sound after upgrading to ios7

As soon as I click the iOS7 upgrade my ipad volume is gone

First thing to try if you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
Still no luck - try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.
If that fails, then try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but all device settings have to be entered again.
Should you still have no sound after trying all of these steps, restoring the iOS software would be the next thing to try.

I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
and vertically.
I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

Error: Vendor and Material Import tasks fail

Hi gurus.
Our CLM Vendor and Material imports tasks have been working fine until recently when we experienced the error:
Data Import Service: File: Material20150401-101647-817.xml is corrupt and cannot be imported
We have not done changes to either CLM/PI/ERP. Please can you shed some light what's causing this error? Thanking you in advance.

HI
which version and service pack you are using ?
we are using V9-SP19.
In SP16 SAP has fix an issue with Vendor import.
check this :
Fix has been done to handle the processing of Payment Term field for Vendor import. Vendor XML import file should contain a field tag as
<PAY_TERM></PAY_TERM> with desired value specified within the tag.
this might be an issue.
Thanks
