Problems turning audio in clip completely down

I am having problems turning the audio within some of my clips totally off. It is especially a problem when there are transitions between clips. The level is at the bottom - but when I play the movie sequence back I hear small bits of audio from within the clip at the start of the clip and at the finish and whereever there is a transition. I've tried over and over again to drag the level to the bottom - but nothing seems to fix the problem.

Hi Alissa - look here:

and here:
Dave Bramsen, "Sound glitches in iMovie", 04:14pm Oct 29, 2005 CDT
Not sure if there's anything there to help you, but have a read.
Have you tried other transitions? Do you need ANY of the video track's audio? If not then you can untick the check box at the right hand end.
Other than that I have run out of ideas - maybe someone else can help.

  • The big iChat problems. Audio/Video (now completely broken in 10.7.3), the "not-authorized" problem

    So, I am running iChat on OS X Lion 10.7.3 on an early-2011 MBP 13'' . These problems have been here for a while, though (I got my comp with 10.7.0). I have AIM/GMail/Yahoo connected..
    One problem is the issue of non-authorized people. There is a list of "not authorized" people that I have to scroll past in my "offline" section of iChat buddies before I actually get to the real offline contacts. Big note here: All these people have the address (something)@aol.com. These contacts have come up as a result of my gmail connection. You see, a few months ago Gmail and AIM did this chat unification process where @aol.com contacts can be just added into Gmail for chatting. These @aol.com copies come up asking for an invite when the REAL AIM address person talks to me. The invites leave once I press decline, but then they stay on my list as not authorized. If I delete these "not-authorized" copies, the invites will come up again and the cycle will repeat. It is a nuisance considering how much of these false contacts are on my list.
    Second problem is video/audio chat in general. This issue really applies on AIM/Yahoo—there is nothing for Gmail because people usually use the web interface which simply doesn't work with iChat video/audio. If the people used Google talk, the issue written below would probably come up.
    See, what happens is that…(now in 10.7.3), video/audio chat is simply broken, simple as that. My contacts always tell me that an error has occurred when trying to accept my video chat invite. It simply doesn't work. They are using AIM desktop in most cases. When it DID used to work (to a very limited extent, I'll say; it was hit or miss earlier pre 10.7.3, now it's just miss), it was just video but NO audio. They could see/hear me, I could only see them. When I did audio chats, they hear me, I..don't hear them (so audio chats were pointless). The only case where this problem doesn't happen is where it's Mac to Mac, iChat to iChat. VERY limited in use of audio/video chat, if you ask me.

    Hi,
    If AIM contacts have been added to your Google Buddy List then I would login to Google and remove them from there  (the iGoogle or GoogleMail web pages will show the Chat option)
    Whilst they are still in the List then the Authorization request will probably be resent (In this case it is probably being generated by the method Google are using to add the AIM names as iChat only sends it once).
    Google/Jabber Video chats is only iChat to iChat and so is Yahoo with iChat 6.
    The Yahoo App streams Video which People can be allowed to see and Audio is added in as an Audio Chat.
    The connection Process is not the same and iChat/AIM
    Jabber and Google use Jingle to Connect (in fact Google's version is not that compatible with other Jabber apps).
    This means iChat to the Standalone PC app  or any Web Browser using the Google Video Plug-in (PC or Mac) or to any Jabber app that is using a Google ID (or a Jabber ID) will not work.
    On the iChat to AIM on a PC.
    This has always been a bit of a hit and miss affair.
    Some people have no trouble but other spend ages trying to set things up and never find the solution.
    This is the Original Users Tip  (up to about AIM5.9)
    A "replacement" for that tip that has not made it across yet.
    I have yet to try Video to the Web Login version that is now on offer.
    However I would limit the Bandwidth in iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section to 500kbps (possibly try 200kbps for 1-1 chats) as you will not know the interent speed available to the Buddy if they are using the web login.
    Comparisons
    When you compare iChat actual functions to what you would like it to do it can appear to be limited.
    On the basis that you would want your IM app to be able to have Buddies from other services listed in a Buddy list (combined) or Lists which apps do you know of can do that and Video to some of them ?
    Adium and ProteusX can both have Buddies from the major Services ina  Buddy List but don't do Audio or Video.
    Yahoo and MSN both allow the other's Buddies in the list but I am not sure about Video or Audio chats
    They cannot connect to Jabber or AIM buddies even for text chats.
    Jabber does depend on the server you use and whether that does Transports for you to have text chats with other services.
    Instructions for iChat.
    Mercury IM is a JAVA version of MSN and still has not got to Audio and Video
    Similar for aMSN
    Gizmo5 and YakforFree both died...
    Skype is Cross Platform  but is only 1-1 in Video chat.  (cost extra for 3 and 4 way chats)
    Yahoo had dropped support for their Mac version now iChat has the Yahoo option  (you can still download it  - IT being the beta it has been for  years).

  • Two problems with audio clips

    Hello,
    I'm having two problems with audio clips:
    1. When I try to drag a clip from the viewer, I can't do it because it won't let me drag the clip. It only lets me drag the pointer around within the clip.
    2. When I drag an audio clip from the browser into the timeline I don't get any audio, just a series of beeps (and yes, my audio media is on-line -- I can listen to it in the viewer, just not the timeline).
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    1. Drag the little hand on speaker icon to drag from
    the Viewer...
    Thanks! (Does it actually say that in the documentation anywhere? I try to RTFM, but the FM seems to be a little, er, mute on this point.)
    2. It means your sequence settings don't match the
    properties of the source audio you're putting in it,
    and you either need to change the settings in the
    sequence, or render the audio.
    Ah, that would explain it. Thanks!

  • Help urgently needed: bizarre problem - no audio in imported clip!

    Hey there!
    I have a bizarre - never the less urgent problem:
    When I import some material (presentations) which I have recorded on Mini DV with my Canon MVX10i Camcorder the following problem occurs:
    There is one particular presentation which somehow looses the audio during the import process!
    That means the imported clip has no audio even though the audfio is on tape! Other clips before and after do not have this problem - the audio is available after the import.
    A bizarre but serious problem for me. Any suggestions?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Thorge

    I had a similar problem. When I started the tape from the beginning no audio would import. To solve it I started the tape a few seconds in and It seemed to work.
    Hope this helps.

  • My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music)

    My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music). As soon as I slide my ipod into opening the volume goes all the way down. Even if it's already completely off, the audio icon comes on the screen, which tells me the ipod is still trying to lower the volume. As I said, I don't even have to be listening to music. I can be on the opening screen. When I turn the volume back up, it immediatley turns it back down. It only doesn't go down if I physically hold my finger to volume bar on the touch screen.
    And yes, I've updated all my software (on my ipod and laptop). I've also entirely reset my ipod twice.
    Tell me, is it time to ditch the ipod and find some other sort of mp3 player (this is one problem at the end of a long list of less debilitating but equally annoying issues I've had with my 2 ipod touches)

    Yeah, I probably mean restore. Multiple times though!
    Also, I forgot to mention that this issue persists regardless of whether or not my headphones are plugged in.

  • Can I turn off the keypad completely?

    Is there a way to turn off the keypad completely? Mine is fried, thanks to a coffee spill, but I can still use an external one. I want to shut the original off because some of the sticky keys cause problems, like the volume gets stuck on mute, etc. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

    This may not help at all, but is worth a try ... it shouldn't erase any of your data.  A system cache clear isn't as drastic as a factory reset, but it sometimes clears up glitches.  How to do a system cache clear:
    Power down phone
    Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously
    Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
    Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
    Press volume up/down simultaneously
    Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
    Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

  • I have been editing my films and spent hours fixing the audio levels. Everytime I close and re-open final cut audio levels go back down.

    I have been busy editing my film and for the third time now, i have been correcting my audio levels with each clip  - this takes me hours - and everytime I go back to the project, the audio levels fall back down. So everything i did previously was a waste of time.
    Does anyone have the same issue? Is there anything I am doing wrong here?

    Gosh, that sounds aweful close to the same problem people are experiencing with the undo bug. They don't know their having a problme until they hit Command+Z to undo their last change, and they can't, the undo command is actually grayed out in the menu. I understand if this happens, X is not auto saving your changes either. So, the next time you make all of your changes, check to see if your undo command is grayed out from the menu. If it is, duplicate your project to force a manual save. Then Quit X and reopen it and insure you project is intact.

  • MacBook Pro 15" won't turn on after a shut down.

    My MacBook Pro 15" late 2008 mavericks won't turn on after a shut down. Tried SMC reset, plugged and unplugged charger multiple times as well as installing the battery. It has started that after a while I have replaced my old battery with a new one,upgraded to Mavericks and increased my memory to 4GB.

Tested different outlets, with and without battery,nothing worked. I also heard that some other people have this issue once they have updated their operating system from  10.5.8 to Mavericks. Is that the problem.? Has anyone found a solution to this?

  • Can't run itunes because it has detected a problem with audio configuration

    What does that mean and how do i fix it? I had Itunes installed on my computer for ages but I had to have it restored because the firewall was playing up and since i have tried to reinstall itunes it has been saying that there is a problem with audio configuration---any ideas?

    Some people have found the following works:
    Completely uninstall Quicktime (NOT iTunes) using ALL the method in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    Turn off antivirus/anti spyware
    Go to Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Change or Remove Programs
    Select iTunes, then click on Change, then select Repair.
    Restart computer

  • What app can I get to to turn a sound clip of my grand-nephew into a ringtone?

    What app can I get to to turn a sound clip of my grand-nephew into a ringtone?

    QuickTime, GarageBand, iTunes, Audacity, and VLC can all do this. Actually, iMovie and FinalCut can too...
    Open your audio clip in the desired program and trim id down to the segment you want to use as a ringtone (iTunes can do the conversion, but it can't modify/trim the audio).
    Once you have the piece of the audio you want to use, save the audio file as MPEG4 audio (AAC) and use the file suffix ".m4r" instead of ".m4a" or ".mov".
    Drag the m4r file onto the iTunes icon in the dock or Applications folder and it will be added to iTunes as a ringtone (which you can add to your phone).
    If you use iTunes to convert the audio to AAC format, drag the sound out of iTunes and replace the file name suffix (.m4a) with ".m4r" and drag it back in.
    That's it.

  • Align a video only clip to an audio only clip

    I recorded a wedding with my good camera and also with another OK camera.  The external mic on the good camera failed so the good video has no audio.
    The other camera has audio and the video is OK (good enough to use for other angles, etc.)
    I've seen articles on how to synchronize two clips automatically, but I think it requires both to have audio...that's how it synchronizes them.
    I can break apart the audio and add it below the video only clip, but I can't figure out how to line it up so it doesn't look like a bad lip-sync foreign film.
    I'm thinking I could align both clips with a marker on the photographer's flash...maybe that will work.
    Can anyone suggest how to do this?
    Thanks in advance
    iMac (Mid 2009) 8GB RAM 8TB Storage (G-Drive), OSX 10.9.3, Final Cut Pro X 10.1.2

    Find a well defined peak in the audio (hand clap, sharp noise, etc.) if you can. Select the detached audio, place the playhead over that peak and type M to set a marker. Find the corresponding point in the video — select that clip, place the playhead over the frame where that sound should start and type M to set another marker. Turn snapping in (or hold down the N key and slide the audio until the markers snap together.  If you missed, you can right click on one or the other marker and select Edit Marker, then nudge  left by typing Control - , (comma) or nudge it right by Control - . (period) then snap to the new position.  If you need to align an audio subframe to a discreet video frame, you can nudge audio by subframes left or right with Option -comma or -period. There are 80 audio subframes per video frame, so holding down the shift key as well will advance the audio by 10 frames at a time.
    It just takes a little patience, but it's not all that difficult to do.

  • Breaking Link Between Audio/Video Clips

    Although this question I'm sure is simple, i'm not finding it in any of the documentation.
    I need ONLY the Audio portion of some of my Audio/Video Clips. I can't break the link, so that I can slide the Audio Clip around on the time line. Thanks for any info you can provide.

    Either hold down the OPTION key before you click on the audio, or look on the button bar above the timeline on the right. There are two default buttons, one being LINKED SELECTION. Turn that one off and audio and video will disconnect.

  • Problem turning off legacy filevault.

    Hey everyone,
    I began the process of switching over to the new filevault, but have encountered a problem turning off the legacy vault. Everything seemed to be goin well, at first. It took about 30 minutes for copying to complete during decryption. However, it has been hung up at "copying is complete..." for nearly 12 hours now and is showing no signs of moving on. I have received no errors. What can I do to maybe kick start the process again or should I just do a forced shutdown. Any help here would be greatly appreciated because at this point I honestly don't know if I have any other option than a forced shutdown.
    Thanks

    Ok, so I'm answering my own question here but it worked. I ended up doing a forced shutdown (holding down the power button until shut down initializes) from the screen indicating that "copying is complete..." When I restarted (manual restart using the power button again) the legacy vault was off and the new file vault was on and working properly. No data or settings were lost and everything was working properly.
    Thank you to all of you who took the time to look at my initial question even if you didn't have an answer for it.
