Scrubbing audio cuts out while editing iMovie project

Hello,
I put all of the clips, nearly an hour, in the project, and am editing just by deleting what I don't want. I keep losing audio while scrubbing. Would having less video in the project window fix that? It came back just now by restarting iMovie, but cut out again.
Thank you

Hi
and welcome to forum
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin.
1 Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
3 Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
4. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
5. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Why is my audio cutting out in iMovie when I do green screen?

I am creating a newscast in iMovie using green screen. As I get farther into the movie, the audio cuts out of the scene. Why is this happening?

The audio from both background and green screen foreground clips should play simultaneously but you should be able to adjust the tracks individually.

.MXF Audio Cutting Out

Editing a seuqnece with footage from a Canon XF105. I use these cameras quite often, however every once in awhile a bug creeps up with the audio the camera recorded. For some reason it will just cut out while on the timeline; volume settings are all checked, and other audio files play, but the audio from the camera simply doesn't play (video on the linked clips are fine). If I quit PP and re-open, the audio will be fine for some amount of time, then randomly cut out.
It's not every clip imported, only a random few and happens about once every six or so projects. Normally I just quit and re-open, however I'm doing an extended project today and it's annoying to keep having to do to cut my footage. Any suggestions? Seems random it doesn't happen to every MXF clip on every project, only a few here and there. Also, if I export while the bug is happening the exported file has no audio on those clips, but if I re-open and export right away, audio is fine.
The footage is pulled right from the CF card the XF105 records to and dragged into PP for import. Sequence settings are set to "Match" when footage is applied to the timeline. Working on a windows 7 machine with PP CS6 full version.

Yes! I have the same issue too with me Motorokr s9 stereo BT headset and my Jawbone Icon -- This happens both when playing music via the iPod app OR when speaking on the phone. I can't put the phone in my pocket or else this happens!!! I also can't put it on the desk then walk around my 12x12 office without the dropouts. Having to hold the phone close to the headset kinda defeats the purpose. BTW, my 3GS worked almost flawlessly with these devices. I know, early-adopter syndrome but REALLY! I really rely on the BT headsets
Just got off the phone with Apple Support -- they were ver nice and helpful. They've scheduled me a Genius appt for tomorrow morning so they can run diags on the iPhone. They've also asked me to bring the headsets.

Audio cuts out for a few seconds

Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this but it happens to me all the time and it's so so annoying.
When playingback the timeline on CS6 the audio cuts out at random places and then it comes back, then it goes again for a few seconds then back again,..while video keeps on playing.....this is just random and it can happen as soon as you press play or after a few seconds and it happens when audio is stereo, mono, mp3,wav,aif, you name it.
Also, it happens regardless of playback quality or timeline render status (red, yellow or green). My computer is quite fast + 24gb RAM so I dont think the PC is a problem, It also happens on a different computer within our studio.
Needless to say that editing under these circumstances is becoming impossible/frustrating and I'm even considering finding other software to edit with! I've found others with this same problem at cretive cow http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/935424
If anyone from Adobe reads this, please help!!!
thanks in advance

Unfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick.

Audio cutting out at the end of my video

So I exported a AVCHD video into an uncompressed AVI and then re imported it. I brought it into the time line and edited it a bunch and also brought in another video and mixed that in. For about half of the video, I used the audio from the video itself... but in different sections, I brought in a separate wav file. I used this wav file towards the end of the video for about 1 minute of the video. After I was done, I exported the entire project into a normal avi file because what I'm going to do for now is upload these to YouTube and so I don't want the file sizes to be too huge.
So I opened up the final avi file in VLC player... and everything is great... except the last 30 seconds or so of the video doesn't have the audio. It plays the audio from the wav about halfway through... and then it stops. The video continues... but there is no sound.
I went back into the project and everything looks fine. The wav file extends to the end and the audio plays fine when I preview the video. So I exported again just to see if it was some sort of error the first time... but no... it did the same thing.
So why is the audio cutting out at the end? How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Ok I figured out how to do a better quality MP4. However I had two problems. 1... the quality isn't near as good as the AVI. 2... now the audio cuts out in even more places instead of just the end. It seems that the .wav file I imported is causing the problems. In the AVI, the wav file cuts out at the end. In the MP4, the wav file cuts out in the middle AND at the end. I don't understand why this is happening. The wav file plays all the way through normaly, and it also sounds find when I preview the video... but when I encode it... it cuts out in places regardless of the format. Is there some step I'm missing in the process to make sure the audio is all in place?

Audio cuts out half way through video after conversion.

I just put together some video clips I've shot into a single video, then ran it through conversion. Half way through the completed video, the audio cuts out for the rest of the film. Yet in iMovie, it's still there. I've converted twice and it cuts out in the same spot. Could corruption in a single clip, kill the audio for the following clips? Since it takes hours to convert, I thought I'd ask before deleting the suspect clip and starting again.
I've spliced together clips before without problem, using the same camera source.
Thanks.
Cheers

I figured a work-around. From the clip where the audio cut out till the end, I dragged those clips to a new iMovie project. After converting, the sound was intact for that portion. Then I opened the complete version with audio cut-off in Quicktime Pro. Deleted the the half with audio loss. Then joined the new half I just created. Voila!
Only when I went to post the video on my vlog, did my Internet connection die (Comcast strikes again).

Audio Cuts Out During Slideshow Transitions

Hi-
In my iDVD6 slideshow I have embedded audio. It cuts out during each transition. Do I have to not use transitions to keep that from happening?
Are there some transitions that don't make the audio cut out, or is it something else entirely? Thanks for any insights!
-Ranger

MacinTouch has a good discussion of this issue here:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/idvd/topic2244.html
Besides making the slide show in iMovie, one poster at MacinTouch said he had always had success with DVD playback if he created the slideshow in Photo to Movie:
http://lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php.
I just had this same problem with my very first iDVD. The problem does not appear to be with iDVD, but rather with DVD players that do not fully support the DVD spec or have large enough playback buffers. I found a little more insight here:
http://www.aidinc.com/features/dvdfaq.asp
I tried the disc I burned from iDVD in 2 different physical players and also in Tiger's DVD Player app. The disc works perfectly played back from computer. It played with just a slight bit of audio stutter on a 5 year old, under $100 Go player but with lots of stutter and even stutter on menu transitions in a 2 year old $250 Samsung DVD recorder.
I want to try burning the project from a disk image in Disk Utility using a slower burn speed but have not yet tried that.
My slideshow is pictures of a recent visit to relatives who are die-hard PC users. Unfortunately, I bragged to them about my Mac and promised to send them DVDs. Hope the discs will playback okay on their machines.
Hope this helps and Merry Christmas!

Audio cuts out in long movie

I've created a feature documentary in iMovie lasting 1h35m. I've designed the 4:3 Revolution menus in iDVD and everything previews beautifully in iDVD. Assets were encoded at Professional level. All audio is in AIF 48KHz.
Then from iDVD I saved to a disc image and then mount the image and play it in DVD Player. Everything seems fine until the last 5 min of the presentation where the audio cuts out (video still plays). Otherwise the audio was synchronized throughout. It cuts out in the middle of an audio file that's just like all the other audio files in the movie. This final segment plays fine in iMovie and previews fine in iDVD.
I've deleted the encoded assets and run it again after uninstalling Perian. Still no joy. Does anyone know what to suggest other than use Toast?
It's not acceptable to me to put multiple movie files into a slideshow (I've seen this suggested) as you have to click next to go on to the next part of the movie. I also don't want the viewer to have to return to the menu to be able to watch the whole show straight through.
Help as this is like getting to the end of a thriller and discovering the last few pages are ripped out! What happened?

Has nothing to do with players. iDVD just does not handle the audio properly. DVD slideshow format is not the same as video - it basically shows still images for a set amount of time while the audio plays. The 99 image limit is a limitation of the DVD slideshow specification which iDVD gets around for the images but it doesn't work for the audio for some reason.
I have learned of another solution which I will try though; Make a DVD slideshow with multiple slideshows - 1 for each audio file, for example. You end up with chapter markers for each song/sub-slideshow, which is what I wanted anyway. In the future, I will generate the slideshow in iMovie or just use DVD SP to avoid the problem. My problem is I spent a lot of time putting everything together in iDVD and have it just the way I want it. I can't afford to redo everything from scratch so I'll just group the images according to the audio into separate slideshows which shouldn't be too time consuming. I'll let you know how it works.

Audio cuts out in the final minutes of a 1.5 hour movie

My burned DVD has great sound, EXCEPT that the audio cuts out completely for the last 5 minutes or so of the last chapter. My project is about 90 minutes long and contains camcorder footage, pictures and added background music (not protected). I've checked the movie file - it's fine, and everything previews fine in iDVD. The DVD was encoded with "Professional" quality.
Perhaps it's too long? but no errors were reported. Advice?

Possible Explanation and Solution: I had assembled my movie from two m4v files, the "large" exports produced by iMovie when you share projects to the media browser. I used QT Pro to simply copy and paste one onto the end of the other, and saved as a .mov. I thought this was a clever solution to the lack of a "Play All" problem in iDVD. All my chapters and everything worked beautifully in iDVD preview. But then the audio dropped out on the final output. Oh Well, it almost worked!
With no other solution in sight, I recreated my DVD project this time with the two separate .m4v movies from the Media Browser and everything works on the finished disk. I have the annoying return to the menus, but at least I finally have a complete disk.
Take home lesson: Bite the bullet and assemble your complete DVD movie in one iMovie '09 project. The convenience of dividing it into smaller projects is a trap - there's no good way to put them back together for the final DVD. What a pain.

When I upload audio from itunes into my imovie project, it does not show all of the track?

Hi, I have opened a new project in imovie - I have uploaded 200 photos into the project to make a Comic Book movie!
this project is 7 mins and 8 seconds long - the exact length of the audio track that I want to play during the movie!
I have selected the music by clicking the musical note button in imovie, which open up my itunes library and displays the track I want to use that is 7 mins and 8 seconds long.
When I click and drag my MP3 audio from itunes into my imovie project, i only plays the first 5 mins & 33 seconds; leaving my project in silence for the final 1 min & 3 seconds????
I have not added markers, there are no fade ins or fade outs - only the first 5 min & 33 seconds or a 7 min & 8 seconds MP3 Audio track???
I have spent 10 hours trying to rectify this problem.......
can anyone help me with this problem
Peace, Love & Happiness

Audio cut out and midi miss sync

Lately I have been getting audio cut out, and the missing, 'error while trying to sync audio and midi'.
I thought it was that I had too many instances of virtual instruments. So I mixed the song down. Imported that into a NEW song, with only one audio track, and then proceeded to try to do an organ overdub...Well Logic still drops out and gives me the message, even though there is NO midi information in this file...
Then I noticed that even AIF or mp3 files, didn't play properly from the desktop preview mode. They stop too. Activity monitor doesn't seem to be showing anything overworking..
Disk Warrior fixed some volume errors,
Anyone have any ideas to try?

I'm using a motu828. I disconnected the firewire connection, and ran audio from the headphone jack to the motu, and VOILA, no problems... Last year, I went thru two motu units, not really sure if they are the issue.
I think it might be LOGIC's firewire circuitry. Apple techs couldn't find the issue, I had the G5 motherboard replaced. Another factor was I had 3 Lacie firewire drives (2 firewire 800, 1 400) I have had 4 Lacie drives die on me in the last 3 years. They are the only firewire drives I have, so I don't know if the fault lies with them, or the again Apples firewire circuitry, stressing the drives out???
I also put a firewire 800 card in my system.
I have now switched to an external ESATA raid setup. No more firewire drives. So far so good. Since I had the whole motherboard replaced, I don't know what that means in terms of MOTU connected via firewire..
For now, I'm running audio out of headphone jack, using all virtual instruments, so I know it will sound better when I get firewire audio up and running, but I got tired of it cutting out every 3 - 30 minutes. I'm thinking about the apogee duet unit. But again if it's connected via firewire, I don't know where that leaves me..
My G5 is three and half years old, perhaps it's tired and wants to be retired....
The dark part of me wonders, if Apple computers don't start crapping out after three years of heavy use, or is it that technology, software, updates, push the hardware beyond it's capacity after a few years.

My streaming video audio will cut out for several seconds at a time then return to normal again. I can, when the audio cuts out, turn up the manual volume on my surround sound to hear however when audio returns, I get blasted until I turn down the surround sound again. High CPU utilization *may* be a contributor to this problem - currently averaging about 95%.
What can I do to correct this problem?

Hi MDS,
Here are the possible HP products for a Touchsmart 9100. Both models do not list Win 7 Home Premium as an HP supported operating system. Did you upgrade from Vista to Win 7 or did you perform a clean install of Win 7 Home Premium?
Both models also reflect this updated driver version (6.0.1.5932) for Realtek High Def Audio. You have driver version (6.0.1.7076) installed on your PC.
You could try installing the version per the above link if you have Win 7 Pro 32 bit or 64 bit installed.
Try checking your file system by opening an administrative command prompt and entering the following: sfc /scannow
You may have to schedule this task to run at the next boot. Please reboot your system to run the task.
Do you know which process is consuming all of your PC's CPU time?

The sound cuts out while a track is playing in iTunes. Are their any fixes for this?

The sound randomly cuts out while a track is playing in iTunes. The track has to be stopped and restarted before sound returns. Are their any fixes for this?

Hello there, smalltowngirl93.

Audio cuts out most of the way through an iDVD image

We created a Quicktime file using Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and imported the Quicktime fill into iDVD 6 (all patches have been applied to iDVD and to Quicktime, and Quicktime has been upgraded to Pro version). The iDVD preview shows that all audio is present all the way through the end of the video(about 1 hour and 5 minutes), which means that the Quicktime file has all the audio present.
However, after creating a DVD disk image with iDVD 6, the audio cuts out completely about 55 minutes into the video. The spot where the audio cuts out is not near any chapter marker nor near any transition of any kind in the Final Cut editor session.
By the way, I am creating the image on an external Firewire drive with 112 Gbyte free, although we also tried the internal hard drive which has about 20Gbyte free.
How can I figure out how to get all the audio onto the image created by iDVD?

I believe I've found the cause of the problem! Within Final Cut Express, I found a system setting for output buffer size, set by default to 2Gbyte. I also found that the default 'Convert to Quicktime' setting is for Internet Fast Start. I increased the buffer size from 2Gbyte to 3Gbyte and unchecked Internet Fast Start, and I have no more audio drop out!
I think that iDVD has a bug when multiple file segments are linked together in the Quicktime file (because of the smaller FCE output buffer size). Note that the iDVD preview did not experience the problem, so that part of the iDVD app seems to handle multiple file segments correctly, whereas the part that processes the file segments while creating the DVD image seems to have the bug. Increasing the buffer size masked the iDVD bug.
So if anybody from Apple is listening, please fix your iDVD bug please!
Concerning the ZR85, I do re-use tapes quite a lot and have never experienced problems. I do clean the ZR85 heads periodically. However, I shall consider using new tapes more often.

Audio cuts out over hdmi

My current setup is a 2010 mac mini running OS X 10.7 with audio and video going through a HDMI cable to a onkyo receiver which then passes sound to my home theater speakers and HD TV. Every now and then, the audio will cut out for about 4-5 seconds but the video will be fine. When the audio cuts out, the status display on the receiver will show "no signal". This never happened when it was running OS X 10.6. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions for a fix would be greatly appreciated.

Hello dmurfett,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you have some issue with sound cutting out at higher levels. Can you please confirm if this is happening with the notebook speakers and headphones, or if it's only one of them.
Just to make sure the correct driver is installed and not the Windows driver, uninstall the audio drivers and reinstall using one of these downloads:
Windows 7 64-bit - IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver
Windows 8 64-bit - IDT Audio Driver
You can also try this:
1. Open Control Panel and click Hardware and Sound.
2. Click Sound.
3. While on the Playback tab double click on Speakers to open the Properties window.
4. Go to the Advanced tab and click the Default Quality drop-down.
5. Select the highest quality output (the highest Hz setting), and click Apply.
6. Click OK, and test this setting.
If this doesn't work, try the following:
1. Open Control Panel and click Hardware and Sound.
2. Click Sound.
3. Click on the Recording tab, and double click Stereo Mix to open the Properties window.
4. Go to the Advanced tab and click the Default Quality drop-down.
5. Select the highest quality output (the highest Hz setting), and click Apply.
6. Click OK, and test this setting.
