Recorded video has saturation clicks in sound track

Using my iPhone 4S running latest iOS6. Using the inbuilt camera app in video mode. I recorded a performance art event and all the audio on the video track has clicking sounds throughout which are so loud they have ruined the recording. Looking at the audio waveforms they all appear to be saturated where the clicks happen. There is no way to adjust the gain control using the camera app. Is there any solution or am I going to be unable to record any video in situations where the ambient sound is loud?
My phone is in a LifeProof case, if this makes a difference to the audio saturation.
Should I purchase a separate mini jack microphone?
Any third party video recorder app with gain control you know of?
Thanks,
Steve

Well, for what it's worth, I've not had too much success with it myself (otherwise I'd have made some suggestion).
If I have some minor clicks I tend to surgically remove them in editor. It can take ages, so I'd love to know an easier way too!

Recorded video has no audio

Hi, i have lumia 1020, the problem is that the recorded video has no audio. It worked for the first 2 video i have made . But it doesn't anymore.I have done a factory reset. But it still not working. The sound is not recorded anymore.
Is there a way to solve this problem.
Thanks !

Hi gent123,
This is for a Lumia 925, right? When did this issue start to happen? Did something happen to your phone prior to this issue? Are you also experiencing the other issues mentioned above, like issues with voice commands and audio note recording? What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
The video audio is captured by the phone's secondary mic, which is located on the top of the phone, beside the headset port. If you have a phone cover that might block the secondary mic, try removing it for a while and see if the audio will be captured when recording videos. Try also to reboot the phone by pressing and holding the volume down + power keys until it vibrates and restarts.
Make sure that the phone's software and system apps are updated as well. Check this link for steps on how to verify if the system apps are up-to-date: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

Record videos with N95 in concerts = Sound distort...

If i record video in a concert of music with mi N95, the sound recorded is distorted, I think it is problem of low. Is it possible to resolve this for firmware?

Nothing ou can do about it!
It's an inbuilt chip that the Record industry insists are put into mobiles and recording devices to ensure you can't bootleg their concerts and so you have to buy their overpriced merchandice. Also it send a message to the local copyright lawers, so expect a nice lettter in the post in a few days...........
JOKE!!!!!

Recording video but it's without sound on iphone 4

when i playback the recorded video there's no sound :S

I also had this problem a couple of weeks ago. I recorded video on my iphone 4s and there was no sound on playback, but when I synced the video to my MBP, the audio was there. I was surprised I couldn't find the answer on the internet. I found some postings where people said to stick a pin in the hole next to the microphone, and they swore that worked. But, that sounded a little dangerous to try on my new iphone4s.
So I finally went to the genius bar and asked them. It turned out that the volume buttons on the side of the iphone are set differently for each of the built-in apps that use it. So while I had the volume set comfortably for cell phone use, it turned out that it was set to zero for video playback within the Camera app.
As a former user interface designer, it's perplexing to me that the volume buttons DO NOT universally apply to all the apps on the iPhone. You'd think the Apple manuals or website would tell users, but I couldn't find this in any of their documentation online. So I hope this helps, and put your pins down right now!

Record video from camcorder and separate sound source direct to mac?

Hi. I want to make a video of myself playing piano (or whatever) with high quality sound. I bought a nice Panasonic mini-dv camcorder with a mic input, firewire, and USB for the job. Unfortunately the sound is ruined by the camcorder's compression kicking in and spoiling the quiet parts. Apparently the compression can't be turned off.
What would be ideal would be to record straight to the Mac with the video coming from the camcorder and the sound coming from my high quality mics. I could send the sound either as analog or already converted via firewire or lightpipe.
Help?

I'm running two serious condenser mics into a "board", panning one left and one right and sending them out stereo into the camcorder. Even with external mics the audio compression still kicks in and tries to bring up the quiet parts, which not only destroys the dynamics of the music, it brings the noise floor way up so that it's quite audible.
My camcorder is a Panasonic PV GS65, which in 2005 was the cheapest 3CCD camera they made. The video is quite good but very few cheaper camcorders have mic inputs, let alone manual record levels.
I've never tried making movies before but after messing with Windows Movie Maker for a few minutes I've discovered that all I have to do is plug my camcorder into a firewire port and I'm ready to go.
It turns out that whether I use Mac or PC for video, I won't need the mic input in the camcorder after all. I'll record the audio into Logic Pro 8 as I shoot the video and one way or the other I should be able to sync them up pretty close.
My question still remains however: Is it possible to record the sound straight onto the video file from a separate source while shooting the video? Or is it only possible to record the one firewire source from the camera?

My ipod records video with very, VERY bad sound

Everything else works just fine. I've tried reseting the ipod, but nothing happened.
The exact problem is that I can record the video, but, for example, when I talk, no matter how loud I do it, I can't hear myself on the recording. The sound is "weak".It sounds as if I were talking from a very long distance ....
PLEASE HELP ME, I really love this ipod, it's my favorite nano an everything else work perfectly, thanks .

It's an iPod touch 4g if that helps any

GLC: Recorded video has red and green flashes

I tried Googling for a solution but GLC appears to be such an obscure program that none of the results are even related
I finally got GLC working mostly correctly on Arch64. It records my game in Wine, but when I play back the video it has a red or green "flash" every few seconds that is really disruptive. I know glc-capture has a bunch of options, but I'm not sure what most of them do so I was hoping somebody knew how to fix this problem without me trying different combinations of options until something hopefully works.

Alright I've done some more playing around with it but I don't think I'm any closer to a solution.
I've tried pretty much every command line switch to GLC that I think could have any effect at all but nothing changes. The game in question I'm trying to record is EVE Online. The intensity of the flashes seems to vary throughout the recording, here's what I can gather:
- No flashes at all during the login screen (which does have a bunch of 3D rendering, it's not just a flat text box or anything)
- Moderate flashes when flying in space, primarily when I try to pan the camera
- Video goes to complete garbage when I dock in a station. Not a single frame from inside the station is output to the video, it just loops the last in-space frames with lots of colors and other garbage obscuring the screen
I can upload a video if anyone thinks it would help. I'd really like to get this working, GLC appears to be the only program under Linux that can be used to record games. It seems like I'm so close to a solution yet so far away.

New 70D owner wanting to record video - has questions

I recently purchased a 70D due to the gratifying comments of satisfied owners of this camera and touting it's ability to shoot great video. My question is this: I want to shoot event video's such as HS plays, graduations, weddings, etc. and am asking if there are issues with recording at this length of time such as overheating, shutting down, etc. I know that it has a 29:59 limit and you just need to stop and restart before that time and continue recording. Is this a fair statement or am I in trouble if I want to record something with any length.
Thanks in advance!
Dave

No problem with heating or anything. Moving shooting will stop if you use a slow card, so get the fastest one possible.

Can I use imovie to make a movie by first making a soundtrack and then adding video clips to illustrate the sound track?

I want to make a movie using imovie 11.
I want to import still photos taken from the inet and import video clips of myself over the stills. I also want this movei to illustrate a soundtrack of my singing with a karaoke file.
Is this possible?
How would I get my voice singing with the itune song so my singing and the itune become one track?
Then could I use that soundtrack to build the movie, rather than start with video an add soundtrack?
This is an ambitions project.
HELP!

Hi
This is a No and Yes question.
No You can not add Audio first in any iMovie from iMovie'08 (version 7.0.x) and onwards. You need to use FinalCut Pro X to do this - Where it's rather straight forward.
Yes - it is a bit tedious but can be faked in iMovie - by first creating a Black .jpg photo. Add this to TimeLine in iMovie as many times (and at max duration) to reserve the time the movie will use. Then add Your Audo track. Then add Your photo and videosequences. There are a function in iMovie that let's You replace the original video with the one You want to insert - "Cutaway" - Then continue till all Black parts are replaced. Movie done !
But really - take a look at FinalCut where this is much easier.

Waveburner 1.1.2 - Burned CD has pops / click in the track

This is a huge problem. I'm finding that when burning a CD using Waveburner, I get random pops that show up. There are so few, that they are hard to catch (a couple in a 20 minute CD). Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution?
Just to get this out of the way - they don't exsist in the actual audio track, it's not a clock or latency problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Could be any number of things. I would suggest trying:
Decrease burn speed. I use 4x as a maximum for audio cds (if the burner will allow that speed).
Bounce project to disk and examine the file before burning. This will tell you if the clicks occur before the burn.
Run activity monitor and have a watch at the processor history window. You may be using "too many" plugs and putting too much strain on the computer.
Internal clipping of plugs - check to be sure you aren't overloading any of the plugs.
Are you doing anything else with the computer while burning?
Good luck....HL

How large are the files from recording video's?

I purchased a 8gb model 5th gen and was just wondering if I should go with the larger model because I do plan on shooting some video with it. I currently have about 1.35gb of music that I will be adding to it.
Do you suppose that around 6gb will be fine for videos?
Thanks!

So you are saying that about an hour of recorded video has been about 1gb-2gb?
That's not bad. I just plan to shoot small amounts of video so it sounds like I am good.
Thanks for the help!

Microphone doesn't work while recording video

Hi everyone. I have an iPhone 5, and yesterday while trying to make a Vine while using the front-facing/FaceTime camera, I discovered that it didn't pick up any sound. However if I switch to the main camera (the HD one on the back), audio picks up and can be heard. This is a problem when I'm recording regular video too. Microphone works with the back camera, doesn't work with the front. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks!

My iPhone 4S fails and works exactly the same every time:
FAILS, with the phone on speaker, or with the camera recording video (front or back) no sound is captured.
WORKS, in all other situations and apps that I could think of that use the microphone such as
google, Voice Memo, Dragon Dictation, Vonage Extensions, Skype, and taking the phone OFF speaker holding the phone to my ear. And also select microphone key to voice input instead of typing whenever the keyboard is there (Mail, Notes, Reminders, Safari, Maps, google Maps, ...)
Based on that, my guess is it's not hardware.
I'm using a 4S (64GB) from Verizon. In the nearby Verizon store I was told to back it up, do a master reset (which wipes out the phone), and restore it from the backup. I called Verizon support today before doing this and got exactly the same instructions. That's what I did today and NOTHING GOT BETTER.
After reading several discussion boards I made sure that I was not blocking any of the holes (trying to be thorough). I do not use a cover.

I used to have sound play back when I made videos now I get no sound why

When I record videos it usually gives me sound, but now it's not. There's no sound at all.

Have you checked to make sure your volume is all the way up, ringer is not muted, and that the side switch is also not muted (RED)?

Clicking sound when recording Video

When I record video, a clicking/whirring noise made by the camera is recorded on the video. I'm thinking it's the autofocus, or zoom (although it seems to make the noise even if I am not using the zoom.)Any ideas on what is causing this or how to get rid of it?Thanks!

I guess I needed to post that I have an SX50 (I thought for some reason this was an SX50 forum)..and there are no error messages, everything seems to be working fine. It seems the "mechanics" of the camera are being recorded on any video I take.I was hoping to post a video, but I don't seem to be able to do that.Thanks!If I understand you correctly, you maybe picking up auto focus/IS noise from your internal mic every time you record a video. I had a Canon SX50 before I got my Canon SX60 and I was annoyed by that clicking sound in my video's, if that's what it is. The SX50 does'nt have an external mic jack to solve this issue. That's why I sold mine and got my Canon SX60. It has an external mic jack that I use to connect an external mic to (among other upgrades) You can attach an external mic onto the hotshoe plate on the SX60. There maybe a workaround for an external mic for your SX50, but you'll have to ask around here on site, or goggle it. BTW...this is a Canon Site for all Canon Cameras and gear. But does'nt have a catogory just for the SX50. But you're in the right place, powershot posts.
