No sound in some quicktime clips

I had a couple little clips I made, and some little clips I downloaded. They used to have sound and now there is nothing. I tried to download some little trailers and still nothing. Do I now have to buy quicktime 7 to get some sound on these. The sound on my movies in imovie are still just fine........

Matti, I did do that. But as I was on my way to bed last night I thought of something. I thought how stupid I must be cause it was probably just the power strip on the computer that controls a few things. One of which of course is the sound. So I went to bed thinking I had a blonde moment. When I got up I confirmed it that I really was that stupid. Turned the power strip on and "sound". I suppose I had at least one moment of thought in this head to at least figure out what it might be.............jillybean

Lost sound in some film clips when finishing project. Using iMovie 11, after adding music to photo section, could not get sound back in 2 film clips at end of movie. Beginning clips ok. How do I restore sound? Thx.

Everything in your project will be exported when you use the share menu.
If you want to export only half, I suggest that you
1) Select the project in the Project Library.
2) Click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT
3) Give the duplicate a name, like Project A snippet.
4) Open the duplicate project in the Project editor and delete the segments that you do not need.
5) Then Share.
You mentioned surrounding a portion of the clip you were editing in Yellow. Once you do this, you should right-click and then select either DELETE SELECTION, TRIM TO SELECTION, or one of the other options available. That is a key tool in editing.
You mentioned MPEG Streamclip. I agree that MPEG Streamclip is a great tool.

No sound from some audio clips suddenly

Made a 55min movie from multiple video clips and narrated with several audio recordings and added music tracks as well, suddenly some audio clips after the first 30 mins show up blank, when viewing audio waves and their volumes are set fine. Other audio clisp in between works fine thou.
Found this after having exported and shared to iDVD, Audio wave files and Media files seems fine in the project folder/content. what happened and have could I possible recap output from these clips again?
BTW HD ***** on sound facility and sometimes disstores sounds during playback when a project gets too large, sometime after saving project and emptying trash, it might work again for a while
Googled around for few days now with out any solutions, any hints?

Hi stefw,
I assume you've already done the following:
(1) Make sure the audio checkbox is selected for the track you want to hear. The audio checkbox is to the right of each track in the timeline viewer.
(2) If the audio checkbox is selected, then choose View > Show Clip Volume Levels and see if the audio levels for the tracks are set to a level that can be heard"
If so, this is what I'd try.....with your project open, start an new, empty project. Go to the original project and copy one of the clips (highlight it and then FILE....COPY.) Go to the other project and click in the second line of the timeline and click FILE...PASTE. Make sure the audio checkbox (on the far right) is selected for that line and attempt to play it in the new project. If it works, drag it back into your original project and try it from there.
If that doesn't work, look for the. aiff files in the original project file in Finder (find the file, right click, choose "Show Package contents", then look in the media folder.) Drag that file into the new project and attempt to play it. If it works, drag it back into your original project and try it there.
Hope it works out for you.

I am doing some editing... Is it better to import quicktime clips or mpeg4 clips?

Anything will help. Thanks

If I had the choice, I would choose QuickTime. But that .mov file format can be thought of as just a wrapper for an actual video clip encoded a certain way. Meaning a QuickTime .mov file could internally be the same as a .mp4 file, and at the same time be wrapped in the .mov file format to make it compatible with QuickTime.
To see what kind of codec your QuickTime clips are in open one of them in QuickTime Player, then under the Window menu> Show Movie Inspector
So in my example I can look under the Format: and read back that the codec the .mov file is using internally is Apple Intermedia Codec (AIC). The codec has more of an effect on the 'quality' of the video than the file format itself .mov which is really just an envelope or wrapper around the Apple Intermediate Codec video clip itself.

Premerie Pro CC - have sound on timeline, yet when I export file i am missing sound in one tiny clip. Can I be related to working with Merged clips?

Hello Premerie Pro CC community,
I need help, I am working with merged clips (the video footage shoot with a DSLR and different audio recorders). I have a timeline in premerie with sound all finished. Everything was fine until I when and fine tuned some of the audio, just added key frames to correct and now when I export my sequence I am missing sound in one little clip of the entire mov.
Does it have to do with sound and editing with a merged clip?
I have tried to export in several different settings and still the same result, and when I look at my timeline the sound is all there.
I have until the end of Monday to figure what I have done incorrect
thanks

In case it is a phase problem, try adding fill left effect to the faulty clip.

Quicktime clip download - reducing resolution possible?

Hi all. I have watched and saved one of the BBC's HD Quicktime clips here at home on my iMac. It's spectacular and I would like my special education students to watch it at school, where our newest Mac is a 450 Mhz Digital Audio. (no internet there, either, broadband or otherwise!) The OS isn't a problem, I have the clip on my external hard drive running Tiger, which I can take and hook up to the DA; but the clip is high definition and bogs down on that otherwise fine studio display. Is there a way I can make this clip viewable for my students? I do have QT Pro here at home, but I'm pretty challenged when it comes to solving video problems. Don't even know if the problem is due to the video card in the DA. Can I modify the clip some way so a lower end Mac can see it? Thanks for any advice.

Hi Jane,
You want to reduce the file size, which reduces the quality in order to email and for the web. iPhoto will not do that, but other graphic programs will.
If you don't a couple of extra steps, you can drag the photos to the desktop right from the library window. Select all, then use a little handy contextual menu item to batch resize. You can keep the same dimensions, but reduce the quality to make the file sizes smaller.

Sound disappears when dropping clip to sequence timeline

I have a quicktime clip that plays without problems when in the viewer window. I edit the clip as desired and then place the clip in the sequence timeline. When I try to view the clip, the sound is gone, replaced by a regularly pulsing beep. When I first opened the project and added the clip I got the warning stating my project settings didn't match the clip settings and accepted FC Pro's suggestion to change my project to match the clip. This is the only clip I'm working with. How can I get my sound working correctly?

Rendering doesn't solve the underlying problem. Your audio is not in a standard editing format (perhaps it is mp3?) which can cause you problems down the line.
The audio in FCP (with rare exceptions) should be aiff/ 48khz/16 bit. Other formats, sample rates, etc lead to drifting out of sync, pops and other really annoying anomalies.
good luck,

How do I remove all sound from my original clips?

I've recently bought iMovie and am trying to get some editing done. I'd like to remove all the sound from my original clips and only have the music track I've added as background music, I've watched the tutorials and tried adjustments but alas, nothing seems to work, where am I going wrong?

First you must drag the clips to a project. The event clips will always have the original audio.
In the project, select one of the clips and open the inspector to the Audio tab. Set the volume slider to zero.
You can repeat this for all the clips, or here is a shortcut.
Do the first one, then with it still selected, click EDIT/COPY, then EDIT/SELECT ALL, then EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS.../AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS.

How to open and burn some QuickTime videos?

A friend uploaded some Quicktime videos for me and I've tried to save them to my desktop by using file>save as. But then, the desktop icon won't open, and I haven't a clue as to how to burn them even if I could play them:-(
TIA!!

If you use a DVD and burn it all you will be doing is copying the movie file. You will not be able to play it on your DVD player (if that's what you want to do). To recode the movie to play on a player or through DVD Player on your Mac you need a program like Toast Titanium. Other than that you can insert a blank DVD into the optical drive and burn a copy of the movie.

I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I have updated to 12.1. Still no sound.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? Can we assume that this audio plays back OK
on the same computer when you are using a computer player independent of Premiere Elements?
What are the properties of these clips that worked before but do not know with regard to sound
For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Have you checked the Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings? Do you have any 3rd party audio devices incorporated in your computer environment?
Please delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if that does not work, then the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. The Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit path is
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and, in the 12.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" active so that you can see the complete path cited.
Do you have installation files or installation disc with the purchased serial number in case we need to resort to uninstall/reinstall?
We will be watching for your follow up.

Garageband is not picking sound from builtin mic (rMBP). I recorded some tracks, now it is not working. All other apps can use the mic. Monitoring is switched ON at GB, it picks sound only some other app, eg. Skype, is used to access the mic.

I have foud the solution - rather stupid. The system setting for audio input was at 70%, increasing it to 100% solves the problem!

It certainly sounds like a bad HD to me. Back up your data and then take it in or call Apple.

Quicktime Clips in PowerPoint Play in IE but not in Safari

When running PowerPoint on my Mac or on my Webserver through IE I can propertly launch Quicktime clips by double-clicking the video window. But when I run PowerPoint through Safari, the double-clicking has a different effect- it seems to be selecting the entire window? And the clip will not run.
Who can help me force Safari to run PowerPoint video clips properly?
I'll appreciate any help or comments.

"I tried to uncheck the flash player option in miscellaneous in quicktime preferences > advanced *_but there is no flash player option there."_*
It should be!
Which version of QT are you using? Also, are you using PRO or the free player?
QuickTime Preferences > Advanced
Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.
Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software

Locking Sound Files to Video Clips

Hello,
This is the problem that I am ecountering. If I'm working on a project and I delete the recorded sound from the video clips and then insert something from itunes but later change the video clips slightly (say by deleting a few seconds here or there) then all my sound files are not in the correct positions any longer.
Is there any way to lock sound files to the video clips so that if I delete something in a video clip later on that the sound file will move with the earlier video clips?
I hope I'm making myself clear. Sorry if I am not.
Thanks.

Working with locked audio clips can be frustrating. I've noticed for several years that I've used iMovie. It seems if you change the length of the video clip BEFORE a section where you have locked audio clips to the video those "locked" positions do not stay. You will see the yellow pins out of line.
I am finding this helpful in my situation if I need to edit video before a section of locked clips.
- In timeline view drag the first video clip to the right, (in the section of locked clips) thus creating a black space.
- Do your editing that you need to before this black space
- Now when you go back to the section with the locked audio clips. If you have changed the length of the video before this section you will find the yellow pins out of line.
- However start dragging that first video clip a bit to the left (shortening the black space) and you should see the yellow pins pop back in alignment.
- If needed select all the video clips in your section (using shift-click on the first clip and shift click on the last clip) and then drag all back into position (removing the black space)
This may be a work around for those trying to edit and keep those locked clips truly in place. Maybe someone has further insight on this.

Re ilife 11: I bought it so I could manipulate the sound WITHIN an imovie clip. The sound track in imovie 09 fluctuates wildly following export of the movie. It seems that ilife 11 in fact does not have improved controls. Any suggestions?

Can I transfer my files to the apple movie "pro" system instead? I forget what its proper name is. With that programme like the old imovie of '05 approximately, you can grab the sound track within a clip and manipulate its volume up or down.
I need to do that to compensate for the coder problems in imovie 09 and 11 soundtracks.

This can be done quite easily in iMovie '11.
Firstly, click on the waveform icon at the bottom right of iMovie's window (also at the lower right of the Project window) - shown here:
You will see the volume level line within the waveform. For the section you wish to lower the volume, click and drag across the waveform so that it is highlighted with a yellow border. Now you can drag the volume line up and down. See the following example, showing the different volume levels:
TIP: Set the thumbnail slider (next to the waveform icon) to half a second - this will show more detail in the waveform, with each thumbnail representing half a second of video.
