Saved File Only Plays The Audio?

hey guys
so i loaded a .mov file that i downloaded and was editing it in iMovie 08 but when I go to export it, it saves and everything but then when I go to play it.. there's only the audio and no video??
any help?
thanks!

Now when I open it, it opens in Quicktime (i tried iTunes also) and plays the audio but where the video should be is just black.
As Winston indicated, it sounds as if your source file compression format is either Apple Animation or Apple Video. Both compression formats will import and edit in iMovie '08 normally but export with a "black" screen and a data rate little more than that of the audio track alone. This problem has existed since the initial release of iMovie '08.
i'm sorry for sounding like an idiot.. but can you tell me where to find that?
Load the source file (i.e., the one you imported to iMovie '08) into the QT Player. Go to the "Window" menu and select "Show Movie Inspector." When the "Inspector" window opens, check the information given in the "Format:" line.

  • IMORTED AUDIO/VIDEO FILE ONLY PLAYS THE AUDIO WITH A BLACK SCREEN

    I'm trying to put a DVD together of my friends' concert, but every time I export from AVID to a QT file, import it, transcode it, and put it in a timeline, it only plays audio and a black screen.
    I went back into AVID and made sure that I exported both audio and video...I did. Then I checked the QT file, and it plays the audio and video.
    I exported the files as uncompressed. Should I use a compressor?
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks.

  • My old movies now only play the audio

    My old movies that used to work just fine on my 60 GB Ipod are now only playing as audio files.
    The problem started about a month ago, not sure why. Probably windows, lol. When i went to the video list all of a sudden EVERY song and video was being displayed as a video. However, the tracks that were truly videos were playing as audio only. So i went to video settings and made sure that it wasn't on tv out. The problem persists. So then i connected my ipod to my computer and under the ipod summary screen it says i have audio, photos, but no video. So i went to "get info" on the videos to see if they had changed into audio files but it still says under "summary" and then "kind" that it is a MPEG-4 video file. So then i tried playing it in itunes and IT WORKS FINE! I will mention again that all these videos were playing just fine before. What is going on!?!?
    HEEEELP!!!!
    -   Windows XP   Windows suks.

    Go to edit-->preferences with the iPod showing up in iTunes and hit the iPod tab. Then hit the podcasts tab under the iPod. Make sure transfer all podcasts is bubbled. Now go to the videos tab and make sure transfer all videos is selected. Click okay.
    See if they now appear

  • YouTube only plays the audio how to get it to play audio and video

    I can't play youtube videos in firefox. I only get the audio portion without the video. It was working fine. No new programs. No new plugins. No changes I can recall. How do I fix this?
    I'm on Windows XP

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *downgrade the Flash player to version 10.3 or 11.2

  • How could I fix a podcast video that only plays the audio?

    My series of videos submitted to itunes podcast play fine except one, that only the audio plays but no video, how could I fix this?

    After looking at the 803 KB file you can see (well, hear) that the m4v file is only audio. http://www.40dayusa.com/photos/339485388_6Fv5j-640.mp4
    This might have happened during movie export or file upload to server. After checking that the video plays in QT player locally re-upload the file to the correct directory with audio+video.

  • I have a MacBook Pro from 2009 that reads DVDs as CDs. It will only play the audio and not the video. Can I fix this at home?

    My computer reads DVDs and CDs, playing only the audio. I need to know if I can fix my computer with resets at home instead of taking it in. It is not under warranty.

  • H.264 file only imports the audio

    Hi I am trying to import a H.264 file into my HD PaL studio pro project and all that seems to be happening is the audio is imported but not the movie
    Any help would be gratefully recieved
    Thanks
    sam

    Sam, I have just recently started using DVD Studio (in fact, this is my very first time), and I am having the same problem as you, the only difference being that it is an HD NTSC project instead of PAL. I was wondering if you have found a solution for the problem yet, or if maybe someone else out there reading this would be able to help?
    Thank you.

  • Only play the audio part of my H.264, mp4 Video??

    Hey guys,
         Im currently running Lion (10.7.3) on my macbook pro, but i also have windows bootcamped on here as well. I was doing a bit of gaming on the windows side and i used a program called "Fraps" to record some of my gameplay, and i then wanted to edit it with iMovie '11. Fraps uses its own codec, and its a .avi file nativly. I used a program called "VidCoder" to convert the Fraps codec .avi video to a H.264 codec mp4 video, so that way i could (theoretically) import it into iMovie. BUT ALAS!!! its not working...the veryyyy strang part of this is that i have done this before, and it has had no problems. In fact, i still have the clips on here from last time, and i am able to play them just fine. I used the EXACT same program to encode, with the EXACT same settings. I cant only hear audio when using quicktime, and iMovie wont even let me import them. Any help on this would be great!!! Feel free to let me know if i've been to vauge, or if you need more info.
    Thanks,
    Aaron
    PS. Heres a shot of the vid i cant get to work, and the one from a while ago that works just fine.

    Im not a pro, so alot of that in jibberish to me, but i did try encoding it with a lower bit rate (around 10,000 i think) and it successfully played via QT. what is the difference between a 79,000 bitrate and a 10,000 bitrate??
    Basically, the Profile and Level define the combination of settings/limitations that adhere to a particular "standard." As previously mentioned, Main Profile Level 3.1 is very common for Apple software and hardware products which appear to come close to the settings for your "working" file. This combination for instance would allow data rates up to 14 Mbps (14,000 Kbps) with 1280x720 @ 30.0 fps while a Main Profile Level 3.2 file would allow a data rates up to 20 Mbps (20,000 Kbps) with 1280x1024 @ 42.2 fps. From this and the fact that your stats did not include the frame rate and/or whether or not the file was encoded anamorphically, I "guestimated" that you might have a "standards" issue in the Level 3.1 to Level 3.2 range for any Baseline, Extended, Main, or High Profile H.264 encode. Your results for the re-encoded file seem to confirm that the data rate was the problem here—i.e., that the video data rate at 80 Mbps was beyond the range of the Profile and Level designation for the file while 10 Mbps was not. Your ability to encode using non-standard settings is one of the reasons that Apple has moved more and more toward the use of device "presets" which prevent novice users from making such relatively simple mistakes when creating files in any of the QT based apps.  Hope this helps you to understand the problem better.

  • Embedded video files only play audio

    The newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 will only play the audio portion of video files I add to it. The first frame of the video shows in the navigator panel, and the files show up and are viewable in the media browser. The selection handles for the video files are visible but that's all. This version also doesn't show the video content created in previous versions of keynote. In version 3 files I'd had .avi and .mov files that worked fine. I've checked the quicktime settings in system preferences to make sure that they were set properly. Suggestions?

    After posting the original question about the newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 only playing the audio portion of video files I add to it, I tried every possible fix.
    Since I'd been using a newer PCI video card recently, I tried just hooking up the monitor to the AGP video card that was still installed and it solved the problem.
    If anyone is considering using Keynote v.4, make sure that you have either an AGP or PCI express slot for the graphics card you use since a regular PCI graphics card won't support video or animation files you add to Keynote.

  • My dvd only plays the left speaker of my song...

    Hello everyone. I recently exported onto a dvd from adobe premiere 2.0 that included a song that i had recorded in mp3 format.
    In the song, some of the instruments come out of the left speaker, and some come out of the right. When i play this video on a standard dvd player through a television, the mp3 only plays the audio that is supposed to come out of the left speaker, but it plays it through both speakers. This renders many of the instruments unhearable.
    When i play it through a computer, though, with a dvd decoder, it plays everything perfectly.
    What should I do?

    MP3's are very often problematic. First, I would check your source file in G-Spot, to see what it reports, 2-channel, or 1-channel.
    Personally, I always convert ALL MP3's to PCM/WAV and Import those. This eliminates the issues, and Audition (or the freeware, Audacity) can do this easily. The only exception will be tiny SFX files, and most are mono anyway. Where did your MP3 come from?
    Good luck, and let us know how it goes,

  • Why do I only get the audio when I play video files?

    I only receive the audio portions when I play video files.  The video is blank/black.  This is happening with mpg., avchd and the videos posted to websites; YouTube, Facebook etc.  The only video files I can play are windows media files.  Windows media PLAYER won't play the other video files?  I have the latest updates for my video card and adobe flash player.  Thanks for any info!  Elwood  Windows 7 64 bit, i7 980x @333 6 core processor, 12 GB ram DDR 1600, Radeon 5850 GPU, OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD

    It is most likely that the various files contain CODEC's, that are either not installed on your computer, or PrE is not able to use them.
    You list several file types, and I would urge you to first see this FAQ Entry, then get one of the file info utilities, linked in it, G-Spot, MediaInfo, or MediaInspector, then post the details on the various CODEC's: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
    Also, that WMP cannot play the video indicates the likelihood of a CODEC issue.
    Try either of the great, free media players, VLC Player, or MediaPlayer Classic HC. Both contain many useful CODEC's, but they do NOT install them into the OS.
    Good luck, and with the CODEC info, someone can give your recommendations.

  • Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
    What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
    Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
    BY THE WAY, KARLI--
    PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

  • Playing the audio file from the point of mark

    Hi All, i want to play a audio file from the point of mark.
    i have used mark() method to mark but when i play the audio it is still playing the audio from the starting point. please help me.

    Hi,
    Question:
    1. You have a folder for each DVD whose video contents you edited.
    Answer: Yes
    Question:
    You talk about projects 34, 35, 36, 37. Are these projects associated with only one specific DVD?
    What is supposed to be in each project - just edited VTS_01_1.VOB or edits from the others in the series
    such as VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB, etc.
    Answer:
    Project 34 has edited Premiere Elements file 34 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#34
    Project 35 has edited Premiere Elements file 35 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#35
    Project 36 has edited Premiere Elements file 36 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#36
    etc.
    Question:
    2. If you screen each DVD video file VOB for a given DVD disc, does the content follow sequentially and cleanly?
    Answer:
    Yes
    When I run the VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc from each project the audio and the video are clean and match.
    When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created after project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 35, 36, 37 etc. I am getting the audio from project 34
    When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created  before project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 1, 2, all the way to 33. I am getting the correct audio
    Thanks,
    Ron
