Slow motion sound in audio - imovie5

I am so frustrated. I have had so many audio problems in imovie5. This is the worst. The sound is like it is in slow motion!! What happened? I have put it on standard quality. I have used QT 7.01 and it seemed to work on other videos. How can I change it without redoing my whole video. It is a musical from a drama class this summer. It happened after I extracted the sound which I had to do so it is insync with the video. Now every audio sound is slow motion - even songs from itunes. Can somebody help me?
Thanks,
Sandy

I do not know if I have saved the original movie files on one of my two external harddrives. I will always duplicate the original movie now.
Jeff - my understanding is that iMovie HD saves an original version of a project when it performs an update to the HD version. See this topic in Matti Haveri's site here:
http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHDbugs.html#format
So, you may find that you still have a copy of the original project. If you still have your iLife discs, iMovie can be extracted from them. All you need is iLife '04 - iMovie 4 won't mess with a version 3 project (from memory), so it's safe to open in version 4. If you have iLife '04, but can't separately extract iMovie, you can download the shareware program "Pacifist" (US$20) which will easily allow you to install iMovie from the iLife disc. You can download the program here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
You should also be able to extract an earlier version from your OS 10.2 install discs - but I'm not sure what version would be on them. If you do install an earlier version, firstly rename or make sure that your current version is not named just iMovie - rename it to iMovie HD 5.0.2 (or whatever) if necessary. This will prevent the installer overwriting your current version.
All the best with your latest project "Big Sur In Motion" and thanks for posting back Jeff. This link to Dan Slagle's excellent site may provide some additional information: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/index.shtml

Slow motion sound.

Whenever i add a recorded video on the timeline to edit it, the audio plays in extremely slow motion while the video is just fine whats more, the video and the audio are the same length but somehow the audio plays in extremely slow motion. This started happening a while ago and happens only when i import videos recorded with bandicam. Here are my bandicam settings:

Slow Motion sound from FCP doesn't get sent?

Hi,
I recently sent a segment of my FCP movie top STP and found that footage I'd reduced to 50% speed is imported as empty sound files or in one case a different part of the audio track. Has anybody else experienced this? The FCP file is fully rendered (and that's all that I could imagine being wrong). Anybody know what's going on?
Thanks
Powermac G5 Dual 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Yeah, had this one myself. Soundtrack pro doesn't except Slowmo... it's a later version thing i suppose. only work around i've figured is exporting your slow mo as quicktimes and re-importing to FCP. then STPro will recognise them. there's a little more on this in the manuals.

Slow-Motion Sound in Classic

Another user posted a similar problem a couple of months ago, but no one seemed to know the answer, so I'll try again...
I sometimes run classic on my PowerMac G5 to play a game that needs OS9. Up until now there have been no problems. Today I tried to play the game, but the sounds are slowed down, as if the frequency was halved. I tried to play a movie using the Classic player, and the same problem showed itself. The movie played fine, but the sound was slow and out of sync. The game plays fine on my PowerBook in classic. I'm not really sure what I've changed in the system in the last few days.
Any suggestions or explanations other than reinstalling the system software would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure about that... When I connect my laptop via firewire and use its OS9 system folder for classic, the problem is still there, but when I use the laptop separately, the problem is not there. Is there a preference for Classic in OSX somewhere?

Quicktime goes to "slow motion"

Hi all,
I recently switched to the iMac and can't quite deal with all the tweaks and quirks of it so I would love all the help I could get.
When I watch videos using quicktime (either from an external drive or from the Internet) the clip sometimes goes to "slow motion" and the audio disappears. Is there anything I can do to resolve it either in the settings of the quicktime or the Leopard?
I am using a 2.4GHz processor with 2GB RAM (as well as broadband) so I am baffled by the low performance.
Thanks in advance,
Tal

I have the identical machine listed in your profile.
Those QuickTime settings you mention are only for files served from streaming server software. Like the Macworld Keynote QuickTime file.
They make up less than one tenth of one percent of online videos.
The original poster must give us more information about the files. Post a URL or use the Movie Inspector window of QuickTime Player to tell us more about them.

Compressing .mov to mp4 comes out in Slow Motion!

I have Compressor version 3.5.3 but I don't think that's what the problem is. I'm trying to compress an 11GB Quicktime file down to a couple of GB.
It's a PAL .mov file, 1920x1080, 25fps, 48000kHz/16.
These are the Settings I chose :
Video: Encoder MPEG4, 1920x1080, 25fps,
Key Frame interval: I change 15 to 25. Is that wrong?
Bit rate: medium VBR
Audio: Mono because Stereo greyed out 48000kHz.
Bit rate 64kbps is what comes up with 48000kHz. (When I changed it to 16bit it brought 22000kHz)
Frame Controls Option is off. Is that correct?
The result was a clip in Slow Motion Video and Audio alike.
What did I do wrong? Is there an incompatibility somewhere? I'd be most grateful for any suggestion. Thank you,

Hello Russ, these are the 3 Inspector screenshots you requested:
1) Inspector for the Quicktime file to be compressed:
2) Inspector Summary 1
3) Inspector Summary 2
4) Inspector Encoder 1
5) Inspector Encoder 2
That's how I ended up with slow motion in the converted mp4 file. What do you make of it?
Many thanks in advance for any light you could throw on this.

Make slow motion with a clip shot at 25fps

I shot a bunch of clips at 25fps, but now I want to add them to the timeline so they will playback in slow motion but the audio (speech interviews) remains at normal speed. Is this possible, or did I need to have shot the clip at a faster rate in the first place?

Maybe I didn't explain my question well enough, but it does work. I placed my audio recording in it's own track, and placed the video action shots in their own video track, selected the video track only and used rate stretch and dragged it to the length of the audio. Voila, audio plays at normal speed and the separate video clip plays at 45%.

HP 620 Win 8 64bit - Please fix this HP! No sound and audio/video playback on slow motion

Please offer native audio drivers for HP 620 Windows 8 64 bit.
Problems:
- There is no working audio driver for HP 620 win 8 64 bit (Celeron Intel)
- Both audio and video playback is on slow motion (speed is like 1 sec is 3 secs).
I want to use 64 bit version so please do not suggest to do any downgrades.

Hello cbabos,
I see that you are having a no sound problem on your computer. I would like to help with this issue but I need some information.
Can you provide the model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.

When I view or upload files (such as on You Tube) there is no longer normal image movement. All action has a "strobe" effect as in slow motion, but audio seems normal. Is this a plug-in problem?

All of a sudden when I view a file that's been downloaded, or viewed on line, whether in Windows Media, or on You Tube on line site, or Power DVD Play program, the image appears as if it was in a slow motion "strobe" effect, while the audio sounds consistent, (barring the frequent stalls). If I burn a DVD, it has the slow motion strobe effect burnt into the disc as well & is difficult to view on a DVD player. Is this a plug-in problem that has suddenly manifested, and is there a way of getting the system back to it's normal operation??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since about 2 weeks ago.

Hello Joe.
Try disabling all add-ons (that's extensions, plugins and themes, go into ''Tools > Add-ons'') except for Flash and see if the problem persists. If they don't, enable one add-on at a time until you find the problem. If they do, try a new [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles Firefox profile] and see if it has the same issues. If it does (make sure other plugins aren't enabled), you need to contact Adobe for support on their Flash plugin ([https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ updating] it will be the first thing they tell you to do). If it doesn't, please tell me.

Slow motion and audio

Hi everybody:
How can you slow mo a clip, and keep the same unaltered audio. I thought detaching audio before doing the slow mo would do it but no the audio is distorted/ and or shortened in length and cannot be lengthened to cover the entire clip again. Is there a way??????
Thanks,
Luis

I go back to the events , take an area surrounding the same clip that is long enough to fit the slow motion clip's length. Drag it up to the slow motion clip in the project and choose audio only when the dialog box appears. then adjust the length of this audio clip to fit. Remember to set the slow motion clips audio to zero in the audio adjustment menu.
Covering the slow motion audio used to be a real pain in iMovie6 and is now one of the best features of iMovie9.
I make mostly sports videos so getting background sound from anywhere in the events is easy.
you could also use stock clips of ambient sound from the sound effects area

Slow motion no sound

when i put a video in the sequence it's playing slow motion and without sound.. like frame after frame, slowly..
i'm sure i'ts a begginer question but i really need help fast!

I have no idea what you mean by "it is playing slow motion without sound".
I'm guessing you're trying to play the video in the timeline by pressing the space bar. That's a rokie mistake. You must do a ram preview. Use the Preview Panel or select Composition>Preview>Ram preview. AE will render a ram preview and, if audio is turned on in the Preview Panel, you'll get audio. The preview will only play until you run out of ram.
AE is a compositing app. It's not for editing, it's for making cool shots and on occasion sequences.

I bought a movie on iTunes but when I try to watch it plays back slowly with no sound. Then the video will speed up and the sound will work for a moment then off again and back to slow motion. I have a dell laptop running windows 7

Imported Video not in sync with sound. Video in slow motion...

Hello,
I am fairly new to Premiere and I wanted to spend some time playing around with it. When I import my videos, the playback is out of sync. The sound is normal but the video is in slow motion so it doesnt sync together. Am I missing something? Using Premiere Pro CS4 and filmed it on a Sony Xacti with MPEG4 AVC sequence.
Thanks in advance.
Steve
Oh by the way, it seems to open and play just fine in any other media player

Steve,
Glad that you got some material to practice with. That was your goal here.
Now, file conversions from compressed source material will usually not yield great quality. Unfortunately, the conversion process, unlike what some would love to believe, does not restore quality to the compressed material. It only changes some of the characteristics, but imporved quality is not one of them. Also, depending on the actual conversion program used, the quality can suffer even more. This is a fact of life in Video.
Now, when you go to get your camera, there are many great threads on many camera makes and models already posted. If you cannot find info on your considerations, post to get recommendations, based on your budget and what you wish to use the camera for. I'm not positive, but I think that the new Equipment sub-forum would be a good place to ask. Previous posts will not be there yet, but will be in the general forum. Many, but obviously not all, cameras have been discussed in length, and their pluses and minuses have been debated.
Good luck,
Hunt

When i upload my videos to pc, my videos play in slow motion and sound is not with video? help!!!!!!

i have two iphone 4s, and everytime i try to upload my videos, sound is ahead of the video and video is in slow motion??? my pc is not hd and that may have something to do with it, just looking for answers!!! I have a desktop that i am looking to have upgraded with better stuff, just curious what i need if that is the problem.

Yvonne-
I haven't tried videos on my camera yet. Do you use the Videos App to play them? I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format. You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion. <HandBrake> Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera. I don't know of another Video App that might work.

HP 2000 Notebook - No sound and some slow motion in video playback

I had plugged in headphones while watching a video on youtube.
The video on youtube suddenly got snow and stopped playing and the sound in the computer stopped working as well. The sound icon has a red X.
The system is not detecting any problem.
I am not computer savvy so need simple steps please.
I checked the speakers, tried to update the software but no software update needed.
I have tried rebooting.
My last option is to do the recovery which I do not want to do.
PLEASE HELP!
Also the DVD player sometimes do a slow motion play while doing T25; it wasn't doing this before. I thought it was maybe how it was but its not.
