PSE 6 slideshow audio distortion when .avi is added

I'm trying to make a slide show with mostly jpegs but with two .avi videos (20 seconds each) added in. The audio works fine, until during the .avi videos; then, it sounds like a fuzzy radio station. Once the .avi is over, the audio rights itself. The videos were taken with an older digital camera (a FujiFilm FinePix, I think--it doesn't include audio).
What can I do? Please help!
Thanks!

Gina,
Generally I don't add video to a slide show using the Photoshop Elements slide show. Instead I have used some type of a video program to add video to a slide show.
However, if you give us some additional information, we may be albe to identify some alternatives:
1- What are your plans for this slideshow? How do you intend to play it back when you are finished?
2- Are you running Vista or XP?
3- Do these video files play back OK in Windows Media Player?
4- Can you identify the specific model of Fuji FinePix camera?
This might help us to find more info about that video file and its exact contents.

Audio distortion when fully inserting headphones

Evening Applers
I've noticed a small crack on the very top left of my 3GS around the metallic frame that has coincided with a problem with the audio when adding headphones.
I suppose I'm trying to diagnose whether the impact of this crack could have damaged in some way the audio jack to cause audio problems when fully inserting the headphones. If I insert the headphones 1/2 way the audio is as new, but obviously as they're not fully inserted makes it tricky to listen without having to support the jack to provide the connection.
I've tried fully inserting a similar jack linked to my stereo, however, and the audio is as new!?!? I've also tried the headphones out of another iPod to see whether that is causing a problem as well as attempting to clean the jack and blow any dust out but to no avail.
Does anyone recognise this problem, and can offer any tips or suggestions as to resolving this?
Many thanks in advance
Tim

Many thanks for your reply,
I thought the same but would have thought the jack would then display similar problems when playing through another 3.5mm plug..it also turns out that the phone speaker itself doesn't work either unless the speakerphone is on. I'm beginning to think that something else is going on!!
I've no recollection of a bump, deep or crash of the severity that it would appear knock the whole audio aspect of an iPhone. I appreciate they are sensitive pieces of kit but this is a bit much..

HT6114 I'm still getting audio distortion when I input audio through the minijack.

I updated to Mavericks, and now when I plug my iPhone in with the miniplug with a male-to-male cord, I get a pitch shift that happens randomly through Quicktime audio recording.
Since I don't have my music backed up on this computer, I input my iPhone's music through a cord and use the audio recording feature. It's worked great for over a year until I upgraded to Mavericks, and I hoped this update would have fixed it since it said "• Fixes an issue that my cause audio distortion on certain Macs."

Is it just sites like YouTube? Can you play music files-mp3/cd ,hear Windows system sounds,etc?

IMovie Audio Distortion (When Exported)

I recently made a video in IMovie, and I am running into some troubles with the audio when i export the video to a quicktime format or when I burn it onto a CD. I preferred using IMovie HD to the version I had upgraded to with iLife '08 so I re-installed IMovie HD - version 6.0.3. The video is about 40 minutes long and includes both video's from a handheld camera (with sound), still pictures, and music from my iTunes. The video runs great on iMovie, but when I burnt it to a DVD or when I export it to quicktime, it is distorting about 3 minutes of audio at the beginning of the video. It sounds like someone sped up the voices, put a mic in a wind tunnel, and made some weird sound effects over the top of the video. The original audio is still recognizable, but it is greatly masked by this distortion.
The other issue is that when I try to open the .mp4 file created from the "share" function of i-movie, it is giving me an error message that says "An invalid sample description was found in the movie". I have tried changing the extension to a (.m4v) but had no luck. When using VLC's video player to open the file however, it worked like a charm and the video displayed just fine (except for the audio distortion as mentioned above). Has anyone else run into this issue, and if so, do you have any possible solutions? I read somewhere online about separating an ac3 file (I have no idea what that is or how to do it), but I can not find the article again. Thanks in advance!

IMovie moving audio clips when transitions are added

iMovie moving audio clips when transitions are addedI have some video clips that need simple fades to black added at the end. However, whenever I add the fade out transition, iMovie does something insane. Instead of the last two seconds of video fading to black and the last two seconds of audio fading out, it seems that a random two seconds of audio from elsewhere in the clip is tacked onto the end and faded. This problem is nuts and I am having no luck finding a solution. Does anyone have one? This has happened with other transitions, but I’d settle for just getting a fade to black to work properly. Is this only a problem with Intel machines?

The problem that you describe has come up frequently on this forum. There are lots of things people have tried, but no solution has been found, other than the workaround of extracting the audio, as Klaus 1 mentions, and manually adjusting the fade out. Some feel that it is an intel machine problem, but that is not clear.
For more information on this issue, try using the search function of this forum, typing in "audio echo with transitions", or some other appropriate search words. You might find of interest the information contained in the following post:

USB Audio distorts when using Stanton T90

I have a Stanton T90 USB turntable that works ok with a PC.
However when used on my Mini Mac after a short time the audio starts distorting.
It seems to be application independent and in the logs I have seen:
Oct 30 23:22:01 Macintosh kernel[0]: WARNING: AppleUSBAudio has detected that a connected USB audio device is sending too much audio data.
Oct 30 23:22:01 Macintosh kernel[0]: WARNING: This USB audio device may not function properly. Please notify the device manufacturer.
Has anyone any ideas how to solve this?
Yours
Leon.

Hello thanks for the feedback.
I've 1Gb of RAM.
It happened when I only had my mouse and keyboard connected with nothing but Audacity running. However my mouse is connected via my Mac keyboard so I could try that on a separate port. From the error it appears that the USB port is not being read often enough.
Unfortunately it seems that Apple drivers can be just as prone to incompatibilities as Windows. You can find hundreds of articles about these issues with both Audio USB and Firewire devices.
My last step before throwing the turntable back at Stanton will be to reinstall my OS (Leopard) to see if an update has caused the problem.
Yours
Leon.

IMovie 10.0.1 audio distorted when exporting

Hello,
I made a movie in the new imovie. When I exported the video to youtube, the audio sounded all weird in youtube, so I deleted it.
I tried exporting the video as a file to quicktime, same problem, audio was distorted. I read online that in iMovie 11, you had to edit the sound of the video in the advanced settings, such as converting the audio to ACC.
I see NO such advanced setting tab or possible way to convert the audio in the new iMovie. How do I fix this? The video sounds completely fine in iMove10 when I play it, but terrible on youtube and in quicktime.
Thanks
PS: How do I normalize the audio as well? Again, no option anymore.

Hey did you ever figure this out? This forum describes how to export the movie to quicktime with special settings and claims that it resolves the issue but my Imovie ('11, version 9.0.9) won't go through the export...I've tried at least 5 times...it starts and says it's going to take about 30 minutes and works for about 10, often as the clock goes up instead of counting down and then the window disappears and nothing has been exported.... I'd love to resolve this issue...it has only been happening to me since I figured out how to ask the audio to duck other tracks and tweak equalizer settings so it's gotta be something to do with the fact that either the equalizer settings confuse youtube it the .mov format it exports in on default settings (without the ACC tweak which I haven't found a way to do yet)...any new guidance? Trying to get this done yesterday!!

Audio Distortion when Exporting to DV-Cam

I'm having a strange problem on my G5 Dual 2.0 PowerMac.
I am trying to export a video from the timeline to my DSR-20 DV-Cam deck using Firewire.
I can capture from the deck no problem. But when I try to go from the computer to the deck, it gives a loud distorted noise on the deck and the audio levels on the DSR are solid-maxed.
What can be causing this ? Seems odd that it works fine from the deck to the computer....but not the other way around.
Solution ???

How does it sound when you just playback the Timeline? If that works OK, have you tried recording on the DSR-20 during Timeline playback? Or are you only using the Print to Video command?
If Timeline playback also has the problem, try exporting a self-contained movie from FCP, then import that file into a new project - then try recording on the DSR-20 again.

Strange intermittent audio distortion when sending bluetooth audio

I have a 2010 Macbook Air and I am using it to send audio via Bluetooth to my stereo via a Belkin Music Receiver (http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=508754).
Up until a few days ago, everything was working perfectly.
All of a sudden, I am having an intermittent problem where one minute the audio will sound fine, and then the next minute it will sound distorted and staticy. The only way to correct the problem is to disable the bluetooth audio and then re-enable it.
I actually happen to have two of the Belkin units, and I'm having the same problem with both of them, suggesting it is NOT an issue with the Belkin unit.
I am wondering if perhaps a recent Apple software update might be causing a problem...or something else....
Has anyone had a problem like this?

Audio distorted when import MXF files converted by XDCAM Transfer

I am new to CF Cards and mistakenly copied the clips inside my CONTENTS folder to my hard drive as a backup. These are shot on Canon XF100.
Now I realise you must always keep the clips in the CONTENTS folder or else FCPX will not like it.
However I am trying to bring my clips back to life. I have used XDCAM Transfer and hey presto they look and sound beautiful.
FCPX does not agree. When I import them there is horrible sound distortion.
Anyone out there can help me?
I am looking at my old boxes of tapes with a degree of nostalgia...........

That folder idea worked
Good news
One of the folders still does the boucing progress bar thing
Boo ... have you checked to see that you have correctly renamed that folder BPAV (not BPVA or BPAV and a space or other slightly wrong variation)?

Audio Distorts when I add subtitle or transition

Using iMovie HD 6.0.3.
Every time I add a subtitle or a transition to a moving picture, the audio track is overwhelmed by a series of clicks that disappears when the title ends or transition finishes. When I remove the title or transition, and the the audio glitch disappears. (Titles over black function just fine.)
Most every other iMovie annoyance I've found away around. This one has me beat. Help, please.

Hi
"Rubberband":
When You selected the TimeLine to show three audio tracks one can
turn on "Adjust audio levels" then in each of the track ther will be a line (rubberband)
where You can set dotts and adjust audio to increas (to 150%) or decrease to zero.
This enables You to silence out disturbing noices (somewhat)(eg door slam, snees etc).
To increase the sound to more than 150%. Extract audio if it is a part of the audio clip
Select this new audio clip on the track under the video clip.
Goto Edit and Copy then Paste one or several times = increased audio
Update: *(Sorry - Didn't see that You had 6.0.3. You are in the iM HD v5 forum)*
To iMovie HD v5 there is a more modern version iMovie HD v6 (6.0.3) for iLife06 owners
and 6.0.4 if You can't get this and has to buy iLife08. This is most often a great way
even that iMovie'08 most often is a disappointment. But when done this You can
download iM06 (6.0.4)
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4) : http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
But still there are no - FREE upgrade as I know about.

Soundsticks (USB Audio) Distortion w/High SPLs...

I have a pair of Harmon Kardon Soundsticks (I've had them for a long time, maybe 10 years) anyway, they have been working flawlessly on my 2006 vintage Mac Pro yet lately the audio distorts when playing it rather loud and with some demanding material...
So, does it sound like there is an issue with the MP or the Soundsticks?
Thanks,
Robert

I have been having similar problems with my (much less fancy) USB speakers, intermittently, since the 10.4.6 update (PowerBook). From another post I made elsewhere:
I have Altec-Lansing XT1 USB speakers. They're connected to the PowerBook via a USB KVM, to an ADC, to the speakers.
For the last week or so (it started soon after 10.4.6 upgrade), an odd temporary sound distortion has been occurring. As the original poster mentioned, it sounds for the life of me as if the speakers are blown.
For anywhere from a few moments (several seconds) or longer, the sound output will become distorted in this way. Then, often of its own accord, things will go back to normal. If I want to get them back to normal more quickly, I can mute and unmute (I use a Logitech keyboard with a mute button, or sometimes I hit the Griffin Powermate which defaults to mute, and occasionally I even hit the sound control on the menu bar). When it's unmuted, it comes back undistorted.
Hence, this phenomenon seems to me to likely be software-related.
I almost always use the PowerBook closed and hooked up to an ACD. Lest you think this is particular to this set up: I have another identical ACD & speakers at the office (indeed, even the same keyboard), with the main difference being the lack of the USB KVM switch being left out. The problem happens there as well.
I welcome any thoughts.
Thanks,
Doug

Slideshow image resizing when adding new images

I am creating a series of slideshows on multiple pages. I created one slide show using the "basic" slideshow and resized it to the dimensions and settings I wanted. I have many pictures all of different proportion, therefore, I selected the "fill frame proportionally" so they would all fit the dimension I set. I wanted to use this first slideshow as a template for all of the rest. I added images to this first slideshow with no problems. All of my different sized images scaled or cropped to fit within the dimension I set. The problem comes in when I do two things: 1) When I add other images of different dimensions to this same slideshow gallery, they come smaller that the intended dimensions I set previous. I check the setting and it is still on "fill frame proportionally" similar to the first batch of pictures. 2) The second issue is when copy this slideshow as a template to other pages. When I try to replace or add to the slideshow gallery, the images come in cropped or smaller rather than filling the frame. Again, the settings are still the same from my very first slideshow that worked just as i intended.
I could resize all the images to all the same dimensions using another program like photoshop, but that is another step that is very tedious and it would seem that it should be something built into Muse.
Is there a way around this?. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just one of those glitches that happens with Muse? I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks!

Hi, I got it to work like this:
Using background colours in Photoshop so that all sizes are the same in pixels. Then manually adjusting thumbnails by double-clicking on them so that a red square appears.
Cheers,
Elsemiek

Hi there Elsemiekagain,
I had to fiddle around with my slide show to get it to work. That is, it worked at first, then went funky, and I had to fiddle. So much fiddling that I can't possibly know what actually made it start to work again.
And to some degree, this is the way that I find Muse to be in general. That it requires finessing to get it to work as expected. This adds a good deal of time to every development project, though I am getting better at this with practice and experience.
Most of it is not even things that could be easily put in words as instructions, as many are nanced. But in fairness, this version of Muse is a complete code re-write this year. So we do need to cut Adobe some slack, and give the team time to iron things out.

Why distortion when output through computer out but not audio interface out?

Equipment:
Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 digital audio interface
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Mac Mini with 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Software:
OS 10.8.2
Mainstage 2.2.2 32 bit
I'm running a mic into my digital audio interface, which connects via Firewire to my computer. The mic input is mapped to an audio channel strip. When I attempt to run sound out using the stereo out on my computer, it works okay for about 10 seconds, but then starts progressively becoming more distorted. At first, I thought it might be a bit rate issue, so I dropped it down very low. This corrected it momentarily, but, again, after about 10 seconds, the distortion came back. When I change the output to one of the audio outs on my digital audio interface though, it works fine. However, I don't have the Y cable I'd need to take 2 of the mono audio outs on that device and merge them into a stereo out that I could plug into my computer speakers (that's all I've got right now), so I'm stuck with mono out. Do you know why I'm getting this distortion on my computer's line out? I don't have audio distortion problems if I'm watching Hulu or anything, and my Saffire drivers appear to be up-to-date and Focusrite says the device is supposed to be compatible with Mountain Lion. Help is much appreciated!
