No sound in Imovie 11 after recording...

Hello. I have Imovie 11 9.0.4. All of a sudden today no sound was recording when I was recording my video today. The mic detector on the voiceover icon shows full bars and records fine in other programs so I know it is not the mic. Any Ideas?

Hi omracer....I've just got a new OS X ( Lion Version 10.7.4) and I too have no sound on a video I imported from my Sony DCR - SX21E camera.  I also run iMovie 11 and am wondering if this is a problem which Apple know about and are likely to resolve.  What do you think?

  • Model PD1130, no sound come up after recording video

It would appreciate if some one help me and teach me how I can fix this problem. Model PD1130 is new I bought just now. Help please.

    seagulls,
    Did you check the Microphone setting from the sound card setup whether it has been muted. Try recording from the microphone using an application such as Wave Studio or Windows Sound Recorder.
    What software are you using?

  • Audio files and voice recordings have no sound in iMovie after a while, help?

    I was editing and I was putting audio files and recording my voice fine then all of a sudden, audio files and voice recordings I were adding had no sound. The ones already put on had sound but when I tried to drag more audio files or record my voice, nothing. No sound. I tried restarting my Mac, didn't work. I changed the MP3 name to AIFF, didn't work. I'm using iMovie '11.

    Hi PK - welcome to the forum!
    Increasingly, people with digital still cameras want to import their short movie clips created with that camera. BUT the catch is that these movies are NOT in .dv format. They are MPEGs, and if they are MPEG1 or MPEG2 then they must be converted to DV before they will import into iMovie with the audio able to play.
    This conversion usually can be done with a free app. called MPEG StreamClip, but may also need another piece of software called the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component (which costs about $20)..
    A search in this forum for those, will give you several threads on the issue!
    Look here, for example, for more about the method required:

    NOTE that iMovie was designed for DV use (a high-quality editing format), not the much lower quality MPEG footage.

  • IMovie not recording sound with iSight image

    In system preferences > sound, I have Built-in microphone selected. But Audacity won't record sound (never works anyway) and iMovie will record image from the iSight, but no sound.
    What am I missing?

    You're welcome. After further investigation, not only does the volume in the system preferences affect the mic, the actual "voice over" (microphone icon) does as well, even though I'm recording with iSight and not, specifically, a voice over.
    However, fantastic YouTube video diaries or whatever they're called must be done on a PC or a Mac that knows how to shut up. If there's one thing right now that's about to make this computer fly through the air, it's the fans that rev up to 6000 and even an external mic picks up the noise. Not much I can do about it. Maybe Snow Leopard and iLife '09 solved the issue.

  • Can't get iMovie to play after recorded on disk

  • No sound after recording but i see the notes on Logic

    No sound after recording with my Keyboard. My keyboard make the sound when i record it but after there is no playback i see the notes on Logic but nothing. And if i try to copy or cut and paste the part i record from the keyboard it work after..i really don't understand!

    Does it say Midi Ch 1 in the event list for the Midi region you recorded?
    This is most likely to be User error... but to identify what exactly.... and to rule out any corrupted settings in LPX..
    Try trashing Logic's preferences and CS prefs as per this support note.
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
    Restart the computer.
    if that doesn't fix things then...
    Which Software instrument (SI) are you trying to play?
    You do have a SI loaded in yes?
    You are using an Instrument Track yes?
    You are not usimg an external Instrument track are you?
    If you drag an Audio loop from the loop browser to an Audio track.. can you hear sound on playback?
    Please post a screenshot of your arrange window showing the channel strip for the track you recorded midi to... That will help us see how you have set things up.

  • No sound in iMovie 5

    After upgrading to Quicktime 7.1.1 I've lost sound in iMovie 5.
    Previously recorded movies have lost their sound together with any new recordings I make. Volume levels are still shown in the timeline but no sound is produced. All other applications appear to be working normally (iTunes, GarageBand, Audacity etc.).
    To restore sound in iMovie I've had to reinstall Tiger together with updates to the current OS 10.4.7 and then install Quicktime 7.0.4.
    Strangely this problem doesn't exist on my wifes eMac running OS 10.4.7 and the Quicktime 7.1.1 upgrade. Sound in iMovie 5 works perfectly.
    (Quicktime Pro is also installed on my G4 and my wife's eMac)

    Hey there. You might have been bitten by the
    installer permissions problem. Open Disk Utility and
    repair your permissions. There is also a QuickTime
    7.1.2 installer available.
    Finally, try forcing prebinding to run. Open a
    Terminal window, and type the following:
    sudo update_prebinding -root / -force
    This is useful for repairing system slow-downs, but I
    have also found that this will fix situations in
    which I have done updates, and the applications which
    depend upon modules modified in the update don't "get
    it" so far as the new updated modules.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I've tried repairing permissions, I've now downloaded and installed QuickTime 7.1.2 and have tried forcing prebinding all to no avail!
    There is still no sound in iMovie but iTunes etc. work ok.
    If there's no solution forthcoming I'll be forced to reinstall Tiger to enable me to go back to QuickTime 7.0.4

  • I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

    Hi j2399123,
    It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
    Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
    For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    And for screen recording specifically, there's

    Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

  • MPEGs with sound in iMovie

    Well I have a digital camera that records movies with sound, but when I try to import them into iMovie they end up with no sound. The help manual says that MPEGs wont work with sound in iMovie. So I was wondering, is there anyway to convert my MPEG movies into somthing iMovie compatible for sound like a .mov or DV. I've tried many products but they all seem to convert the video and leave the sound out just like iMovie does? Please help me.

  • No Sound in iMovie Import

    Hello everyone:
    I am trying to import a movie from my Sony DSC W100 camera.
    The movie downloads to iMovie great, but I can't get any sound. I've checked the various volume controls on the camera, computer, and iMovie and everything seems to be where it should be. (And when I play the movie on my camera, there is sound.) But not so much as a peep of sound on iMovie.
    I am using the USB connection - not a firewire connection (which I don't have for this camera).
    My computer is an iMac with OS 10.4.9. I'm using iMovie 3.0.3.
    Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Pete
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Welcome to the forums.
    Looking quicking at some posted specs, your camera records in MPEG VX format (a form of mpeg1 or mpeg2?), which means that iMovie is converting that video format (MPEG) into a form it understands (DV Stream). If you open one of the iMovie clips using Quicktime, use the Movie Properties command to see if it has an audio track.
    If there's no audio track, probably the video was muxed (audio and video mixed together). Typical recommendation is to use MPEG Streamclip to do the conversion from MPEG to DV Stream, but often you'll also need (to buy) Apple's MPEG plugin for Quicktime.

  • IN SERIOUS NEED OF HELP!  Cannot hear my sound in iMovie!

    Hi everyone,
    I have been trying to crack this problem for weeks now and I must figure it out tonight because soon my project will be due.
    I made a film in iMovie, I think version 4, and imported it into iMovie HD with no problems, and it updated it to work with the new version, and everything seemed to go smoothly EXCEPT, I cannot hear any of my sound--even though it is all right there. There's a soundtrack, and then there's the audio clips from the clips, many of them extracted, all of them locked into place, exactly where they should be, and yet when I play the movie I hear none of this sound.
    I repeat, all of the sound is in place. I just can't hear it. You can see the waveforms or whatever of each sound clip or song. The boxes are checked to the right of the audio lines. The volume is turned up.
    I thought maybe there was a problem with them anyway, for some reason, so I trashed the first song and them imported a new one from iTunes and it imported just fine, showed up on the timeline, and there's still no sound!
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    I am having the same problem! I had sound this morning, now (after a power outage) I have no sound in iMovie...I have sound in all other applications, but not iMovie. I have re-started several times and dumped the imovie pref files from the library, but still have no sound. Very strange. Please help! I also have movies due soon!
    Thanks

  • Help! I only hear clean electric guitar while recording, and amp/effects after recording!

    I have my electric guitar plugged into an Apogee Duet (driver is up to date with Yosemite).  After track is setup with effects, in an audio track or in a guitar preset track (I tried both), I can play and hear the guitar clean tones only without the effects I have put on the track, even though I have chosen guitar effects, like amp, pedals, etc...  Only after recording during playback, not pre, can i hear the effects I have chosen.  Why is this?  So pre recording and during recording, a clean tone.  Play back the track, it's all there with the amp and sounds I have chosen.  Frustrated.

    Excuse this short reply, rehearsal in 30 minutes.
    It sounds like you need to first turn off the Direct monitoring of the Interface. Most audio interfaces have a "direct no-latency" monitoring that actually takes place before the audio even goes to Logic, it's done within the interface. Different companies have different names for it, low-latency monitoring, direct monitoring....etc.
    Next, open Logic's Preferences and I think with Logic-X  it's under the General tab (everything I'm describing will be under the general or devices tabs).
    Select Software monitoring, make sure you I/O buffer setting is at 128. Lower buffer settings mean less latency but use more CPU.

  • No sound on videos after the last update before iOS 5

    Hi people,
    Iam having the same problem as many iphone 4 users...when iam shooting video there is no sound unless i put on the earphones...the difference is that it used to shoot videos with sound normaly but after i updated to iOS 4.3.5 it stopped recording sound...i have videos with sound that i shot and its kind of wierd....i thought it was the update and i waited until the next one...which came iOS 5 but there is bug fix or something and i that some people refer to this as a hardware problem and not software so i would like to know if anyone has a clue about and any possible solution.

    Hey,
    Advice you gave me sorted the problem transiently, but now I have sound on all programs, which is good! But now my user interface sounds (i.e. emptying trash) don't play! It's not that big of a problem but just slightly annoying!
    I don't fancy spending another £5 on the phone to the useless shower of s* at apple technical support.
    Regards,
    Adam

  • Audio recordings are slightly off after recording!

    I am not having any problems with latency while recording - I can record with the plugins and it sounds just like it is coming out of my amp.
    However, after recording, during playback - the audio files are slightly ahead of the metronome. It is almost like they were shifted ever so slightly to the left. I can't figure out what the problem is because it sounds fine while recording.
    Also - it is working fine with Garageband, just not with Logic.
    Anyone ever have this problem?
