Only hear background video footage even though I've adding recorded music

Hi, hopefully a simple one and down to user error!
I've shot video footage before and added music tracks with out problem. This time I tried to add a music file from iTunes but to a particluar part of some video footage, to find that only the background noise from the video footage is audible.
I've tried lowering the sound volume of the background noise and increasing the volume of the music track, I've tried extracting the background noise, cropping the background noise, muting the background noise, but nothing appears to work.
I'm using an old version of iMovie 3.03 on a iMac G4 running 10.3.9 but haven't encountered this problem before.
Is anyone able to assist?!
Thanks in advance
iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Welcome to iMovie Discussions!
I'm trying (desperately) to remember the quirks of iMovie 3.0.3 (..well, in fact, I'm trying desperately to forget the quirks of iMovie 3.0.3..)
It's probably an incompatibility between the format in which your iTunes music has been saved, and the playback capabilities of the old iMovie, or the version of QuickTime which you're using. (Don't be tempted to simply upgrade QT, by the way, because some versions play better with various versions of iMovie than do others!)
iMovie seems to work best with .aiff files, rather than .mp3 or other formats in which iTunes can store songs.
If all else fails - and it may! - just burn the iTunes track onto a CD, then import the audio from the CD and drop that into your movie.

  • When I synch my ipod touch it only lets 50 videos get on ipod . I can't get the other videos on even though there's plenty of space available and it's set to synch all movies

    When I synch my ipod touch it only lets 50 videos get on ipod . I can't get the other videos on even though there's plenty of space available and it's set to synch all movies. What am I missing?

    i had the same problem. did a lot of research..my phone became unusuable. do you use the htc mail? if so that is your problem. there is a bug with it that it keeps eating your memory until you cannot use your phone. i had to do a hard reset. back to factory condition..not happy! but then went to the marketplace and got k-9 mail. that is now my default mail program. i have not had any issues since then. this is what i kept reading over and over for complaints on this phone. it is a major glitch and the only way, as of the time it happened to me, to fix it..

    Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my  last laptop.
    As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
    Many thanks!

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

  • How to delete parent table data even though it has child records

    hi all,
    How to delete parent table data even though it has child records.
    ex: delete from pa_request cascade constraints;
    But this command is not working .

    ex: delete from pa_request cascade constraints;cascade constraints is DROP table option. It can't be used with DELETE. You need to delete child rows first or drop foreign keys and recreate them with ON DELETE CASCADE. Then:
    delete from pa_request will automatically delete child rows. However, personally I don't like ON DELETE CASCADE. You can, by mistake, delete half of your database without even realizing it.

  • HT4436 How do I know what is saved in iCloud? My settings always says Sam amount available even though I have added over 1000 pictures.

    HOw do I know what is saved on my iCloud? In my settings it says I have the same amount of available space even though I have added over 2000 pictures through photo stream. & over 2000 in my photo library. I pay $100.00 a Year for iCloud &for more MB of space, I want to know I am backed up in iCloud??

    Photo Stream does not count against your storage, and your photos of your camera roll is included in your backups.

  • Unable to import from my video camera even though it has worked before

    I have used my Sony MiniDV Digital Handycam many times over the past few months to import the footage from my DV tapes into my computer. However, my iMovie HD suddenly decided one day that it didn't want to recognise my camera anymore, no matter how many times I restart the programme and the computer.
    It's not a problem with the firewire because I tried it with another camera and it worked. I don't remember changing any settings on my camera. Plus, even though the camera is over 5 years old, it shouldn't be a problem of compatibility since it has worked before.
    I have no idea how to fix this problem. Please help!

    Welcome to the discussions.
    There are a few things to try here:

    Does the camera work on another Mac?

  • My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod speaker even though the buds are properly connected.

    My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod and iPhone speaker even though the buds are properly connected. Does anyone know why and is there a solution?

    Assuming you are using Bluetooth headphones, do the apps have the option to use Bluetooth?
    The app should have an option to select the speaker (or wired earphones) or the Bluetooth headphones.

  • Help Acrobat Pro XI will only print to "all files" even though printers show up in box

    I have acrobat pro XI and now even though my functioning printer(s) show up in the box where you chose the printer you want to use, matter what i chose it always tries to save the print job as an"all files" format.  The printers are fine they work with everything else.  It is strange no matter what I pick all it wants to do is save as an "all files" file.  Anyone have any ideas??
    Thanks

    Make sure the “print to file” option is deselected in the “Advanced” options of the print dialog.

  • I have a 2nd gen Mac book air with Lion. The hard disk has filled up even though i keep my data , music etc on hard drive . I used disk inspector to find where problem was and it is 20GB in the hidden files under the user directory can i resolve this ?

    I have a 2nd Gen MAc book Air with Lion .  The 60GB hard disc has quickly filled up despite me keeping most of my data on a portable hard drive .  I used disk inspector to locate the problem but found that it was was in 20 GB of hidden files in my user directory .  Is this correct and is there anything i can do about it ? Using disk inspector you can not see individual hudden diretories or files. I did unhide them but there is a mass of diretories etc and so no way i could see if this is one or multiple files using the space. Library System and  Applications are at 4 3 and 3 GB respectvely.  The data I actually keep on there is 9GB    Thanks for any help

    I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
    I tried it out again.
    I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
    After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
    I watched to the end of the movie.
    Then I quit Quicktime Player.
    And I shut down the computer.
    I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
    I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
    I normally use vlc to watch movies.
    Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
    I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
    I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc. 
    So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
    I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
    So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that.

  • ECC 6. was able to delete records even though it has dependent records ....

    Hi Guyz,
      Was able to delete entries from master table even though I have entries in detail table. I defined foreign key in detail table field refering to master table field. I am working on ECC6.0. Does any body got same problem ?
    Regards,
    Venkat.

    You have a master table : For eg: Code Type
    with some values
    like
    Fields:CODE_TYPE(Primary key *)                CODE_DESC
              ENCL                                      Enclosure
              NACO                                      Nature of concern
              PORT                                      Port code
    Another detail table with
    Fields:
    CODTYP(#)  CODE ()      CODDESC  
    ENCL           2             Insurance Certificate
    ENCL           3            Quality Certificate
    ENCL           4            SAARC Preferential Trade Agreement
    Fields CODTYP also has foreign key(#) reference
    to first table Code type(Check table)
    You deleted CODE_TYPE: ENCL from the first table:  Code Type
    The system will allow this type of deletion.
    But when you try to add a new entry with codtyp = 'ENCL'
    Next time it will raise error message saying that value doesnot exit in check table.
    If you want to have a check whether its used in details table at master table entry deletion time, you may have to write some extra form in deletion event in TMG.

  • A can only hear volume when i use the headphones: no ringtones, no music, nothing without the headset. what did i do? it's a 48 hour old phone

    I have done something to my volume. there is no sound unless i use headphones. I must have done something when using suri, but i don't know what. i have turned the phone on and off with no change. please help. the volume is up, and the slider for mute is not on.

    I had a similar problem, I could only hear Siri when I was using headphones.  Without headphones, I would call up Siri and I wouldn’t hear that “ding” nor would she audibly speak back her answer.
    I found out that Siri has its own volume control.  To access it, activate Siri and when the Siri microphone pops up, go ahead and adjust the Siri volume using the volume controls.  I had my regular volume up pretty high but I had the Siri volume all the way down.  This was driving me crazy, now it works fine.

  • Why does itunes say that my iphone has 9GB of video data even though I've deleted every video I've ever made

    Hello,
    When I use itunes on my macbook to view the contents of my iphone 5, the bar at the bottom of the window that shows me how much data is taken up for different categories says that I have 9 GB of video data. The thing is, I deleted all of the videos that I've ever recorded on my phone, but itunes still says I have 9.15 GB of video data! I ejected my iphone and plugged it back in multiple times to see if it was a problem with refreshing, but that didn't work. Itunes also says that I only have about 3 GB of free space left and when I go to the settings on my iphone, it says the same thing, so I know that there really are mysterious files on my iphone taking up 9 GB of space. Also, both itunes and my iphone says that I have 83 video files. I've deleted as much apps as I could, just incase there were apps that had video files included in them, but that didnt really work. I also opened the video app in utilitties on my iphone and it said that I do not have ANY videos. I don't really know what else to do.
    Is there any way to just see all of the files on my iphone? Itunes does not let me do that. It only lets me view certain files from apps like adobe reader. I need to find out what video files itunes is detecting on my iphone. Again, I've deleted all of the videos that I made on the phone by using the photos app. I never downloaded video files from safari either.
    Thanks in advance

    since moving to the mac from windows, this seems to happen less. I also found that having some videos marked as "remember playback position" resulted in a lot of updates to the ipod when i had watched them through itunes.

  • No Video Icon even though MacBook

    I have a MacBook Pro. My dad has a MacBook. I got him set up in AIM through iChat and today he signed on. His icon only displays a audio chat connection. The audio connection works fine; however, he has a camera and we would like to video chat. He is using an Airport Express so there should be no issues with the router. His camera works because he has used it for taking his address card picture. My video chat works as well because I have video chatted with others. Anybody know what the problem may be?

    If your friends internet connection will not support a video conference, you will not see the camera icon.
