Sound disappears on playback in imovie, and is mixed up on exported file.

What would cause this. i recorded in HD and all files imported just fine. However when i reach a certain scene on playback the sound goes away. if i stop and start again it's there. So i got to export the file using quicktime and when i get to that same scene in the movie the sound is mixed up with other scenes. The wrong sound is playing. it's like the sound files get all mixed up.
Should i reimport that scene? i don't get it. it plays fine in the event line.

To the original poster: did you modify the speed in ANY of your clips? After some searching I realized there is a bug and this audio problem pops up if you have modified the speed of any clip to any non-tick mark speed (I wanted 150%, but the tick marks were only 100 & 200%). I deleted the one I thought was a problem, but I had another one at the end that was modified. I reset that one back to 100 and bingo, no more audio problems upon exporting. If you really want the off-tick speed (like I did!) just export a short video with that clip at the off-tick speed, then import THAT movie into your project at 100% speed.

Can I copy one frame of a movie using iMove and save the frame as a file that can be printed like a picture?

Can I copy one frame of a movie using iMovie and save the frame as a file that can be printed like a picture? If so, how do I do that?

You could if you want a postcard sized print.
Printers need a lot more "dots" per inch and even a 1920X1080 video doesn't have enough "dots" to make more than a postcard.

Showing Title and date/time info in exported file

I am trying to export a group of photos into a file to then compress and e mail. How do I get the title and date/time info for each photo to export as well and be a part of the file?

You'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 08 or later to write that metadata to the file on export.

I am setting up a website in iweb 09 and using video created in imovie 09... been told best video code across the board for pc users is flv... is this true that the best way to save files for iweb is flv format? If so.. how do I convert? imovie won't let me... see error below.
I get the error below when trying to share and save as .flv... should I be able to do this or do I need another program to covert?
The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (OSStatus error -32766)

Anyone have the answer to this I am currently having the same problem!

I should've made the movie in FCP where the FLV works. Now I am stuck!!

Mysterious (and annoying as ****) Echo on exported files

I've exported a few .mp3s from .band files. The original .band no longer exists, just the exported file. About a dozen of these files have an extremely ugly echo making the file almost inaudible/incomprehensible. please help. Anyway to remove that? thanks

Not if you don't have the original projects where you could look for the cause. You can't "de-echo" a simple audio file.

AVCHD or MP4 HD using IMovie and IDVD

Okay,
I am new to Macs and like them alot. I transfered from PC to Mac mainly for IMovie and IDVD. Here is my issue:
I use a Sony TX7 Digital Camera as my camcorder. It creates MTS files which I have saved on my desktop. IMovie does not recognize these files which I already understand. I know that IMovie imports directly from the camera itself but still changes the format to AIC. What I am trying to accomplish in the future is the ability to create the best quality HD movies to burn to standard DVDs usin IDVD. I know next to nothing about the whole process of IMovie and IDVD. My main concern is how I should be recording video on my camera. Obviously AVCHD needs to be converted but I have know idea the exact settings I should convert it to in order to keep the majority of the quality. Should I just record in MP4 at 720p? My TV is 720p and I am not looking for the best HD ever. I am just looking for HD in 720p. How can I retain this quality using IMovie and IDVD? I have MTS files on my desktop that I tried converting and the quality is okay, but I would rather not have to convert files in the future. I don't want to copy the whole file structure each time I import my videos because I like to organize my videos in one folder by date. There has to be someone who has had success with this. I just want to produce great looking widescreen home videos using these two software programs. Then there is the whole other mess of what settings to use when importing into IMovie and exporting to IDVD. Can someone experienced with ILife explain this to me?
Thanks,
Matt

Well first thing is iDVD is SD not HD and does nothing HiDef. You need a Blu-Ray, Apple TV, or other device to watch HD.
http://unofficialimoviefaq.com/tt/BurnHD.html
Even "pro" apps like Final Cut will turn MTS files in to AppleProRes so you can edit it faster.
You need the WHOLE CARD not just the MTS files for proper editing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6QF-1WxNwI

External hard disc is read only on my MacBook air and I can't safe and export files on it, how can I change that

My external hard drive is read only on my MacBook air and I cand safe or export files to it. How can I change this so I can use the external hard drive to export my files and work on an other pc.

Eject and disconnect the drive (and its power supply, if it has a separate one) for a few moments, then restart it. Restart your Mac, then reconnect the drive.
If that doesn't help, the directory structure may be damaged. See if you can Repair it, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.

Why do I lose sound when I try to make a dvd from imovie to idvd. The sound is all there in iMovie, but when I make my dvd, I have sound for about 3-4 minutes and then its gone.

I have made a 1 hour 30 minute dvd in IMOVIE. The video and the sound are perfect. However, when I make it into a dvd on IDVD, I lose sound after 3 or 4 minutes. Any Suggestions?

Hey MichiganMan32,
I found an article that looks like it applies to that audio issue you're experiencing. Check out the following troubleshooting steps here:
Resolution
Make sure the audio track has not been muted in the timeline.
Switch to timeline view by clicking the clock button in the iMovie window.
There are three checkboxes on the right side of the iMovie window underneath the sound icon. These checkboxes correspond to the video track and two additional audio tracks. Make sure all three tracks are selected. Any deselected tracks are muted.
If you are using iMovie 3 or later, check the "Edit Volume" option to see if it is selected. If so, make sure the volume of the affected video clips is not set to its lowest level, or try deselecting the option to Edit Volume.
See if the volume in iMovie is set to its lowest setting. Directly under the Preview pane in iMovie is a volume slider. Set this slider to maximum volume.
Make sure the computer's audio is not muted.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then check the clip to see if it now plays with audio.
Check to see if any of the video clips you have imported are in the MPEG-1 format. MPEG-1 clips will lose audiowhen you export them as part of your iMovie project.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then reimport the footage from the camera. Play the newly imported footage and see if you now have audio.
If you are using an analog to DV converter instead of a camera, make sure the audio connections are good between your VCR or other analog device and the converter. Check the documentation that came with your converter for more information.
Check /Library/QuickTime/ and ~/Library/QuickTime/ for any third-party plugins. Remove them if present, log out, and log back in. Check to see if the issue persists. If not, check with the manufacturer of the disabled plugin to see if an update is available. Note: The tilde (~) represents your Home directory.
Note: "Apple Intermediate Codec" and "QuickTimeMPEG2" are Apple components. For more information about a particular plugin, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. Look at the version string of the Get Info window to see if the plugin developer name is listed.
iMovie is missing audio on import, export, or playback

Alsa sound disappeared between kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.33

My last working alsa was running on kernel 2.6.30.6. Some months ago, I upgraded and the sound disappeared. Due to other programs, I now want a fully updated kernel and get 2.6.33-2-1. The alsa sound still does'nt work. I get the sound back by downgrading to 2.6.30, but other things then fails.
I'm using an LG A1 Express. As far as I can see, everything looks ok, but I don't hear any sound.
I have used alsaconf, and got expected output. Alsamixer is used to unmute and set up audio-sources.
Grateful to any suggestions!

Sound disappeared in Safari and BBC Radio Widget

Two days ago, without warning, the sound disappeared from both Safari and my BBC Radio Widget. All other sound on the computer is fine and if I play an MP3 through Safari it will play but otherwise there is silence. (Problem was discovered by our 5 year-old who was disappointed that there was no sound coming from the CBeebies websites!).
Have checked all other sound options and everything is in order.
Went to local Mac re-seller and they shrugged their shoulders and said try here.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.

You're welcome.
If there is a preference file associate with the widget, move it to the trash before you reinstall a new copy. The preference file will be name widget-com.(name assigned to widget).plist. You can try a search in spotlight on look in your User Library>Preferences folder.
If you are complete, please mark this post "solved". Helpful for others looking for a solved solution to a similar question, also helpful for me. Aloha from Big Island.

Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and iLife '11 causes sound problems in iTunes, iMovie, and Mail

After updating my OS to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and installing iLife '11, the sound in iTunes, iMovie, and Mail does not work. The sound in other programs like Skype does work, though. Any ideas?

You should run software update. The current version os SL is 10.6.8, several bugs were squashed and improvements made.

Sounds disappears in iMovie '11

I'm helping a friend who has iMovie '11. We took 20 still images and put them into a new iMovie project. We added sound. (The tune is in iTunes and appears listed in the iMovie window.)
We adjusted timing of images and transitions. It ran perfectly. We closed iMovie and opened it a short time later to listen again. Although the green sound background is present and the tune is listed at the top of the menu, it is not heard.
I checked the Help menu. It mentioned something about checking a clock to see if the sound had been muted. We couldn't find any clock icon.
Any ideas of what is going wrong?
Thanks.
Mary Lou

I tried your suggestion but I failed to continue holding down the Control key. When I finallydid a control/click on the green music background and kept that key down, I was able to "delete selection". Then I reattached the music and it is fine.
Thanks for your help.

HT201177 I am trying to create home movies and each time there is no sound when I play back the disc. The sound is there when I play back in imovie and also after I've shared with idvd and played back. Not sure what else to do???

I am trying to create home movies, and do not have sound on the final disc. The sound is there in imovie and after sharing to idvd. This has only happened a couple of times before and I have made a lot of movies. I have just gone through about 8 discs, all with no audio when I play them!!!

You need to ask for support in the iMovie forum.

Sound disappears on playback in imovie, and is mixed up on exported file.
