Recording Audio Simultaneously while importing video in iMovie 11

I need to import live video and record audio simultaneously. Unfortunately I have to select a clip and do voice over and it is not going to be as effective. Is there any way around this?

Ok
I tried that but no go.
In the handy cam viewer as soon as I plug in the cabe it shows HDV out iLink and immediatly changes to HDV in iLink. I assume that the cable is right than.
I have no possiblety jet to check the cable but it is only 6 months old and not used much.
The port on the MacBook pro is ok I used a firewire 800 external drive and it shows up an I can browse the disk.
Regards

    Thanks for the reply with additional details.
    In order to help you with the Elements Organizer 13 and Premiere Elements 13 issues, we need details of that video from iMovie.
    You should be able to get the important details of the iMovie video by telling us the export settings that you used for the iMovie export.
    Minimum information..
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    File Extension
    Frame Size
    First, update Premiere Elements 13 and Elements Organizer 13 each to the 13.1 Update (See Help Menu/Update in an opened
    Premiere Elements 13 project.)
    We will be watching for further details in order to plan and carry out troubleshooting strategy.
    Thank you.

    I'm having the exact same issue, but still haven't figured out what it is. I note that at the top of this thread it indicates that there are two "helpful" entries and one "solved" entry, but I can't find the solved one, so maybe someone will repost it here or kindly link to it.
    There is one icon missing though.
    As I read through the excellent tutorial at http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html I scroll down to the point where he talks about dragging music in from iTunes, which is what I'm trying to do. I can see, in his screen shot, the extra little icon that is a red oval and a white "1" in it. I don't get that icon when I am trying to drag my music into the video. I do get the green and white plus icon when I try to drag my music in. Also I DO get BOTH the red 1 and the green plus when I try dragging in a sound effect, which I can do with no problem. But why not the music?
    I've been able to drag in music with no problem in other productions, so I can't figure out what is going on with this one. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere that got flipped, but I can't figure out where.
    In desperation I also tried adding an extra title slide at the end of my video just to make sure there is more video time than music time in the production, but that didn't help at all.
    Any help guys?

    Hi
    Due to some kind of copy protection in iTunes - I don't copy directly from this in iMovie
    to my projects. (Most often the result of doing it in iMovie is a DVD without any sound)
    I do
    • In iTunes - collect needed audio into a new Playlist
    • then burn this out as an Audio-CD .aiff (NOT .mp3)
    • This CD I copy into a folder on my Mac (often containing other material that's connected to the project)
    • And then I drag and drop these .aiff files into my movie project in iMovie.
    This works Greatly and even more so when I do my DVD.

  • Importing video in imovie is jumpy!

    When I import video into imovie the video gets jumpy. I play it while I try to edit and the film jumps around. It is like the film is missing milliseconds of the video. Does anyone have any idea about this or ever have this kind of trouble?

    I've had the same problems using imovie '08 but it is infrequent and has only happened when importing certain analog not digital video tapes. I can watch the video flowing without interuption on the camcorder but intermitantly the actual imported film hangs up with intermitant breaks in the recording process with as you say milliseconds lost. I have tried closing all other programs for fear they may be interupting without success. And as I said it has only happened a few times , only with analog manual imports and the extent of the footage lost is variable.... Any suggestions????

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • FCE Freezes while importing video

    While importing video, FCE freezes, usually within 3-4 minutes of capture. I have to force quit. I am using Capture Now. I have no problem importing with iMovie. In fact I've been importing in to iMovie and then copying the clips into FCE to get around the freeze. I have my clips saved to a 500GB external drive and my camcorder is a Panasonic PVGS-300. I have imported into FCE many times before. This is the first time this has occurred and I haven't changed anything in my setup or added anything to the system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem.
    Yesterday, I captured 45 minutes in 4 minute sections, and spent the morning editing.
    It got slower & slower & slower.
    I saved all, quit & browsed the internet for a while.
    The computer continued to whir for some time.
    I went back into FCE & it was back up to speed.
    I suspect imminent hard drive failure.
    Does anyone have an opinion on my diagnosis?

And which converter i should to use??!!!
    Thank you so much in advance for any help if you can give me!
    PS: I have iMovieHD 6.0.3 (267.2)

    If you can the video clips onto your computer you can use mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

    which costs $25.

  • Importing Video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper

    How do I import video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper? I ripped the video content onto my computer but it was not converted into a file that I can import.

    I think it's trend for all users since we can get more funny from digital life. Also it's necessary sometimes for us to save our video or dvd files with other methods, i have no idea but use something like converters.To my experience, mactheripper is not what you want,maybe you can try this dvd ripper for mac.Maybe ripper is illegal, but i just get my oringinal files, and i want to do more with it, that's just it!

  • Audio problem when importing video files.

    Hello everyone,
    I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
    Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
    However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
    I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time  as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
    I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
    Cheers
    Christophe
    PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

    Update to 10.0.5.
    You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

  • Import video via iMovie and play iTunes simultaneously...?

    Yo there, Mac forum! I'm a new Mac user and am pretty dang psyched to be posting my first question. I love my new PowerBook. woo!
    So I'm in an improv comedy troupe and I use the PowerBook to play music and sound effects during our shows. I also video tape every show for us to watch at a later date to analyze our performance (like football coaches do). I would like to stream the video directly to my Mac, so at the end of the show I'll have a digital version of the show nullifying the need to perform the intermediate step of digitizing it from the cam sometime later.
    Now, using iTunes to play music during the show is simple. Also, using iMovie to copy video from the DV out of my cam to the hard drive is also simple as cake. The TRICKY part is doing both at exactly the same time as they both send audio signal to the minijack output (or speakers). That causes not only the iTunes music and/or sound effects to be played back thru to the stage, but also any sound that the camera picks up will also playback--which as any of you sound people out there know, causes some funky feedback and resonant effects since the cam is also picking up the iTunes tunes and sounds. Phew.
    SOOO, does anyone know how I can can capture live video to my harddrive (to a file or movie project) where it does NOT send audio to the notebook speakers or minijack out so that I can utilize iTunes to be playing the music for the show while the video (with it's audio) is streaming into the mac "behind the scenes" in the background?
    A lifetime of free tickets to our shows if you help me solve this!

    Oh, in the "old" days importing video was a sacred moment -- you carefully optimized the system and hoped for the best when importing with NOTHING else running on the system... Nowadays people switch to www-surfing, iTunes, or some heavy weight apps during import/export.
    ...And that's the way it should be! Unfortunately not every system can take such a load so there may still be hiccups and dropped frames or even dropped footage.
    But to the original question: How does iMovie's volume slider affect iTunes playback. If you turn iMovie's volume down (in the import mode), does it mute also iTunes? If yes, then you may have to get another device to play the music.

  • How do I start with audio first and add video to Imovie as the song plays?

    I want to start an Imovie project by adding video from my Isight camera to audio that I have put down first. This way I can sync my video to the audio in real time. When I have audio that will play, I am unable to add the video because the Isight camera will not record when the audio is playing. As well, when I record with my Isight camera the audio does not play.
    Any help to this new user would be helpful.

    Syncing the video to the audio could be tough to do that way, but this might let you do it:
    1. Drag your audio clip to the Finder desktop. iMovie will copy it there. (The entire source file of the audio clip.)
    2. Double-click on the audio file on the desktop to open it in QuickTime Player.
    3. Play the audio in QT Player as you record with your iSight in iMovie.
