Sony DSC-W1: Video imports w/o audio

My Sony DSC-W1 Digital Camera, which takes some pretty decent video, does not import the audio into iMovie. The video gets imported just fine, but the audio is not there.
The only way I could get around it was using Audio Hijack Pro to capture the audio for the video separately, and then importing that.
Does anyone have the same problem or know of a way to fix this?

  • Sony DSC-TX5 Videos with High Speed (Chipmunk) Sound

    I just imported some videos shot using Sony DSC-TX5 (1280x720 "Fine" MP4). All imported files have their audio sped up, and consequently everything sounds like a chipmunk. Unfortunately, I deleted the movies within camera before checking the imported files in iMovie. But, new movies shot and played within the camera all seems to have intact audio when played within the camera.
    I've also imported HD videos shot using Sony a55 and its audio remain intact.
    Is there a fix for this?

    I had exactly this problem, importing the video both from within camera, and taking the sd card out and putting it in a reader. I quit Imovie, reopened it. Then I reimported the video. SAME PROBLEM - no change. Then I restarted the computer, opened Imovie, reimported the video - now for the fourth time. AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE!! The audio was perfect.
    So what caused this in the first place, and what happened in the reboot that fixed it? Beats me. One moral of the story is no matter how good Mac OS gets, rebooting the computer is always a good thing to try. Another moral of course is, don't delete any files until you know your imports are good and you have them backed up.

  • Aperture and Sony DSC-T100 videos

    Hi, I just installed Aperture 3 and imported my iPhoto library but I can't open any video I took with my Sony DSC-T100 camera. The error is "unsupported video format". Do someone know how to fix this problem?

    Have you tried different levels of compression with Adobe DNG converter?
    The footnote on the Raw Support page  http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html says:
    Aperture works with most DNG files generated from cameras that support this format and with DNG files generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the “Convert to Linear Image” option turned off.
    If DNG converter does not work, use the software that a came with your camera. The manufacturer's software will give you the best possible raw development any, since they do know the camera best.
    It is hard to predict, when the RAW support for this camera will released, you could try to shoot RAW&JPEG while you are waiting and import the files with the JPEG as original. This can be changed to RAW as original, when the RAW support is available.

  • Macbook Video Importing Problem with Audio

    I am trying to import videos to my macbook from my video camera in .mpg format (which i have done hundreds of times) and for some reason the audio will not play on the videos. The video imports fine except for no sound. I have no idea why this is doing this. It worked previously today but now it will not play any sound in the videos i import.

  • Sony DSC-RX100 Video and Images supported?

    Hey all,
    I was wondering about if anyone has a DSC-RX100 that they have successfully used with iPhoto.  Successful = imported video & images by connecting their camera to iphoto and clicking import.
    I had a dsc-hv9v sony camera which was great until its demise. The issue was the images came over fine but the videos did not.  (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5251)  Sony uses a MTS (AVCHD) format.  Which seems to have issues importing to iphoto.
    thanks

    9.4.1 iphoto
    9.0.8 imovie also and video
    video is MPEG-2 Transport Stream .MTS 

  • Video importing, but not audio

    Hello-
    When importing files into final cut, the audio on some of the footage does not import. anybody know why? the file types m-peg from my sony handycam. they play with audio on the VLC player but not in final cut.

    There are a few versions of MPEG, yours most likely have multiplexed audio.
    Working with any kind of MPEG based material in FCP is a terrible hassle. It needs to be transcoded to an editing codec such as those listed in FCP's Easy Setup menu.
    So.... where do your files come from, a camera? Tell us the manufacturer and model.
    Someplace else? Please specify so that we can advise on the best way to proceed.
    It would also be useful to know which version of Final Cut Pro, QuickTime and Mac OS X you are using.

  • How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto

    How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto? . . . i can see all the photos but the videos are not visable (I also connected the SD card with a USB Sony SD Card Reader - again only the photos are accessible - no video files are shown) . . .

    If you're shooting AVCHD then you'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 11v9.3 to import this material.
    A note on AVCHD: This format was developed for people who are shooting to edit the material afterwards. If you're shooting to edit, then iMovie or Final Cut are the correct home for this material. If you're not shooting to edit consider using one of the other video formats on your Camera.

  • Video import problems from a Sony DSC-HX9V

    Hey There
    I have a Sony DSC-HX9V which I've owned for several months now, a Intel based MBP and iMovie 11.
    Something strange is cooking and I wonder if anyone could let me have some suggestions of how to solve the issue?
    In the past both iPhoto and iMovie has had no problems at all recognizing the camera and downloading photos and video files. I've created projects, burnt DVDs all the normal stuff.
    This afternoon though a problem has arisen. Although iPhoto is letting me download photos from the camera, iMovie I guess is not "seeing" the camera. I've done exactly what I think I usually do, but this time its not working. When you click on "Import from camera" the window opens up but only the iSight camera is being used. I've clicked the "camera" drop down but again only the iSight camera is an option.
    I've made sure all of my software is updated, no problems there, turned the camera off, turned the MBP off and on numerous times, but still it won't see the camera.
    I've spent the last few hours trolling through various posts, even tried shooting video in all of the different quality grades available on the camera, just to make sure, but still nothing.
    This Sony camera is definitely compatible with iMovie 11, again I've check and as I mentioned before, I've used it several times in the past.
    Any suggestions would be warmly received.
    David

    I found this link helpful, I'm going to change the camera settings to 60i from 60p as on post mentions and will report the results http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1009&message=39416949&chang emode=1

  • Sony WX7 .mts video files not imported into iPhoto 11

    Apple indicates iLife ’11 supports AVCHD (.mts) files, however, I've been unable to get iPhoto 11 to import video files from the Sony WX7 camera. Photo's are imported properly via both usb and directly from the SD card reader in my Macbook Pro (i7) 2011, however, video files are not.  I've read that iMovie '08 supports Sony AVCHD 2011-model video cameras, but iPhoto 11 appears not to.
    Mac OS X v10.6.7, is fully up to date. Has anybody found a solution?

    Not sure where you are seeing that AVCHD is supported in iPhoto '11 but it is not - use iMovie to import your AVCHD movies - that works for my my Sony DSC-HX5

  • Importing as MPEG audio instead of MPEG video

    I have MPEG Movie Clip (.mpg) files from my Sony camcorder which I am trying to backup to DVD's.  When I import them some are importing as MPEG video correctly and some are appearing as MPEG audio incorectly.
    The ones showing as audio files are defienlty video files as can play them in windows media player but for some reason only the audio is being imported.
    Any ideas on why this is happening and how can be rectified.
    Thanks - please can someone help - this has been taking me ages to resolve.  The sony software is rubbish - hence using encore.

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for your prompt advice - I am using CS4 version.
    I am trying to create dvd’s from my video files which I created on my sony hard disk camcorder so that I can play them on my dvd player.  I am in UK so require PAL format.
    So I need to use Premiere Pro – is that right?.  So do I export from Premiere Pro to Encore whilst they are both open?  Can I not just create the dvd’s in Premiere Pro – I don’t need fancy menus.
    I am confused why some appear in Encore correctly as video but others as audio.  When I play the files from explorer they open in windows media player and play as a video.
    I am really new to this so apologies for the basic questions.
    Thanks

  • How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

    How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

    Terry Woolf
    Thanks for the reply.
    The link to your prior thread is
    Audio
    I suspect that the issue of no audio for your .mp4 file goes to your conversion method MXF to .mp4.
    Please excuse if I am saying what you already know. When you import your video into Premiere Elements (in your case 12 Mac), a project
    preset is established, either by you manually or the project automatically. That project preset contains a description of the project settings
    for audio as well as video. Unless you select one of the project presets which are described for use with 5.1 channel, your audio in video audio
    imports into a stereo project. It is in the export area that you will find your opportunity to customize (if necessary) the settings for audio.
    In the project, if applicable to your situation, you can duplicate an audio channel (See Fill Left or Fill Right under fx Effects/Audio Effects).
    Please let me ask this to make sure of the details.
    If you import your .mp4 with 2 channel audio (derived from your .mxf convert and dragged to Video Track 1/Audio Track 1) and cannot hear the sound....
    a. do you see any evidence for an audio file in the Timeline Audio track 1?
    b. if you do, how many wave forms do you see, one or two?
    c. if you have the audio meters opened while you are playing back the Timeline content in Edit area, do you see 1 or 2 channels and is
    there activity in both.
    d. when you import the file into Project Assets, do you observe any conforming activity going on in progress bar in the lower right cover of the workspace...if
    so, do you wait for it to go to completion before continuing on?
    We could also try deleting the conformed audio in the Media Cache Files Folder to force the program to re-conform the audio. See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks should show you the location of the Media Cache Files Folder whose contents you will be deleting.
    Please review and consider, and then let me know if I targeted your question. If not, please do not hesitate to let me know, and I will rethink my reply based
    on your response.
    Thank you.

  • Can iPod  store video taken on Sony DSC-H1 digital camera?

    I would like to be able to download the video segments I might take on my digital camera, to the iPod for storage, later to be transferred to my iMac for editing. Can this be done?? Thanks.
    Forest

    I'm leaving next week for holidays and I am looking
    for a storage device. I don't want to take my laptop
    with me as it is my employers. I want to be able to
    store video files from my Sony DSC-W30 camera. Does
    anyone know if the camera connection will work for
    this?
    Well in case anyone was wondering. It works. You can't view them but they are all there. It is an excellent way to have digital storage device on the road. It does eat into the battery charge quite a bit though. Make sure it is well charged before you import photo's and video's.

  • Leopard & Sony DSC T50 Camera - Slow Import of Photos

    I have a Sony DSC T50 Camera and a Powerbook G4 running Leopard.
    Under Tiger, importing photos from my camera was fast and easy.
    Under Leopard, the function is so degraded as to be unusable.
    20 minutes to rully ready the contents of the Memory Stick Pro Duo.
    40 seconds per 800K image to import the photo using Image Capture.
    After wiatinf forever, the transfer from Image Capture in iPhoto is quick and works just as it did under Tiger. It's the download that is the problem.
    Same camera, same computer hardware; it worked great under Tiger, it doesn't work under Leopard.
    Anyone else having similar problems?

    First - I suggest posting this in the iPhoto forum - that is where the iPhoto gurus hang out - http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=227
    Second have you tried capturing the photos using image capture (in your applications folder) instead of using iPhoto?
    Third if that does not help purchase an inexpensive media card reader and try it - that will save wear and tear on your camera and eliminate the possibility of running out of battery while downloading which can corrupt things
