Sound disappears when dropping clip to sequence timeline

I have a quicktime clip that plays without problems when in the viewer window. I edit the clip as desired and then place the clip in the sequence timeline. When I try to view the clip, the sound is gone, replaced by a regularly pulsing beep. When I first opened the project and added the clip I got the warning stating my project settings didn't match the clip settings and accepted FC Pro's suggestion to change my project to match the clip. This is the only clip I'm working with. How can I get my sound working correctly?

Rendering doesn't solve the underlying problem. Your audio is not in a standard editing format (perhaps it is mp3?) which can cause you problems down the line.
The audio in FCP (with rare exceptions) should be aiff/ 48khz/16 bit. Other formats, sample rates, etc lead to drifting out of sync, pops and other really annoying anomalies.
good luck,

Cross-hatched clips in sequence timeline?

I'm seeing a strange problem in one of my sequences which was working fine but on reopening the project, I see that all but the first 7 seconds of the edited clips on the timeline are now cross-hatched. There's no video or sound when I scrub over the cross-hatched portion. I've tried removing all effects and transitions but no joy. There are several other sequences in this project which are all working normally. Any ideas?

I had the same problem importing from Prem CC on editors ext HD (also mac) to Prem CC2014 on this computer.
Attempting to relink media hasn't fixed it.
Looks like i have to rebuild the edit at this end, luckily the footage wasn't media managed so have all the source files. However, it looks like a lot of the clips that "look ok" ie not crosshatches, actually have incorrect inpoints media wise.
However, I have the old version of Premiere CC on my computer, when opened in that it does the same thing. So i suspect that this is the much vaunted "reconnect media accurately automatically" feature that i watched in a promo last year kicking in, rather than a CC -> CC2014 issue

Why is the sound disappearing when I send a video?

I have an iPhone 5C. When I record a video and send it, the sound disappears! I can hear it just fine when I play the video back on my phone, but if I send the video to someone, they can't hear it. Why is this happening? I tested it by sending it to my email, and sure enough, the sound is gone! Am I doing something wrong when I send it, or is there a setting that is off somewhere that I need to adjust?

I can't even see where that setting is.. for my information all the footage is from a GoPro so what I've had to do is convert them to .mov and Apple ProRes 422 now. Now when I have them in final cut the samples in 'All Clips' and in the time line look ok in till I hover over them and then they have the red hint again, they do how ever export the right colour now but this is going to make colour correction difficult

Audio levels not retained when pasting clips into another timeline

I have FCP 5.1.4
When I copy audio clips with keyframed levels and paste into another timeline, the levels are all messed up upon pasting.
What's the deal? Anyone see this before?

Not sure why such weird behavior occurs (Could it be caused by some corrupted preferences therefore trashing them could solve the problem?). however, as a work around have you tried to copy and paste attributes from the audio clip in sequence 1 to the audio clip in sequence 2? That should give you the same keyframes you had in the copied clip (Original sequence).

Wild Colors when dragging clips in Sequence

Hi All,
I just installed CS4 Production Premium on my Mac OSX Lion, everything updated to latest version (4.2.1)
On Premiere Pro, when I'm dragging clips into and around the sequence, the clips themselves turn into a crazy kaleidescope of colors everytime it is moved.
And it's like frozen onto the screen unless I close and reopen the sequence timeline. Why is this? Is anybody else having similar issues?
See image below:
So far it plays fine in a 2nd monitor, but the clip still gets crazy colors after dragging.
I am using Sony XDCAM EX clips (mp4).
I will try with other formats.
Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I do have Avid Media Composer 6 installed on the same system.
It is an 8-core Mac Pro, 6GB RAM, NVidia 8800GT card, various storage types (RAID5 on an AVID VideoRaid ST, 1TB hard drives)
Thanks

There have been several similar posts to this forum, and, IIRC, all revolved around Lion. I do not recall any "fix," however, but they might well be in those posts. Being a PC-only person, I did not follow the threads as closely, as I should have.
I'd Search this forum, and maybe on "display," and "Lion."
If I can locate the threads, I'll post links.
Good luck, and wish my memory was better.

Loop audio disappears when dropped into timeline

When I preview a loop, it sounds great. When I drag & drop into the timeline, the loop no longer has any sound. Any suggestions?

You dragged it into the empty area of the timeline, right?
It sounds like you don't have the instrument that this loop uses (the preview is always an audio file, while the loop itself plays on GB's software instruments). What instrument is that supposed to be? Can you create a new software instrument track and use that instrument?

Sound Vanishes When Moving Clip From Clips Pane To Video Selection Timeline

Hi,
I've been using iMovie for years and never run into a problem, but just today I imported some video, played it back fine in the clips pane, then dragged them down into the main video timeline, and all of a sudden there's no sound on them. The video plays fine, but no audio at all.
Anyone know what happened? I can't figure it out.
Thanks!

is it this?

Audio dissapears when adding clips to sequence

When I move a clip from the viewer to the canvas or timeline the audio dissapears....meaning only a silent video clip is added to the sequence. Any ideas? thanks

Hi,
Lets see if the following could be the problem:
On the left hand side of the timeline right next each audio tracks there are two buttons whit the speaker icon on them, one to mute the audio (turns yellow) the other to make the sound audible (turns dark gray together with the respective audio track).
Now, in the bottom left corner of the timeline there's a tiny button with a speaker on it click on it If you can't see the first button I previously mentioned.
Is the first speaker button appearing yellow? Is the second one grayed out? (If so the silent audio track appears grayish?)
In one of these cases you would not hear any sound from the audio track because you clicked either on one or the other button of the audio track.

Need a way to make background sound continuous when combining clips?

I suspect the answer to this is that it can't be done in iMovie 8 and I need to use iMovie HD, but let me ask anyway. Perhaps one of you can tell me a clever way to do this.
I am creating a home movie of a wedding, in which there is background music on the soundtrack. When I go through the normal process of combining short clips, it sounds terrible, because the background music gets all hashed up into short pieces. What I'd like is to have the background music be continuous and just have the video jump around from clip to clip.
I'm guessing that I need to use some other software to pull the background music out as an mp3 file and then superimpose it just like I would any other music. Is that right? Can anyone suggest a method for extracting the soundtrack?
Thanks for any help.

The problem was that I didn't have the background music as a separate clip. However, I have downloaded MPEG Streamclip, and that seems to be a feature to allow you to pull out the sound from a video and make an mp3 file. So I plan to try that.

Bass-sound disappear when exporting to Adobe Flash Video format

I'm making a guitar-tutorial on video, and want to export parts of it to Adobe Flash video by using Adobe Media Encoder. But when I do that, it sounds like the bass-sound of the band disappear. The sound generally becomes low also. Maybe there is a connection. Anyway, with the sound I have now, I can't use the video in flash format :-(
I've tried bitrates of both 128 and 256 kbps, which should be more than plenty.
Help would be appreciated.

Yes
I selected DVD/CDROM in the "Data Rate" category...?
Umm....I assume you're exporting from FCP using QuickTime conversion,
so you can choose a QuickTime movie, H.264, and choose
Frame Rate: Current
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Checked
Quality: Best
Encoding: Best
Data Rate: Automatic ... which then means you don't need to choose DVD/CDROM.
Give that a try and see how it looks.

Sound disappears when changing speaker config

Hello all, I currently have a bit of an annoying issue when using my x-fi titanium card in vista 64 bit.
When I goto change my speaker config from headphones to 5.1 or vice versa, the sound from the running apps disappears
and I have to restart the applications for sound to come back. For example I am playing a song in winamp, i change speaker config
from 5.1 to headphones, sound gone, close winamp and reopen sound is back. Same thing goes for my games.
Any possible solutions to this thanks.

The only thing I don't like about the iPhone headset solution is that the earplugs are uncomfortable, and keep falling out. I basically don't like things stuck in my ear. So I am thinking of buying an actual over-the-ears headset to plug in to the headset port.
A couple of questions:
- Is there any reason at all to go USB headset instead? It seems like a waste of a USB port since there is a headset jack.
- Is there any way of switching the output sound back to the speakers while the headset is plugged in? Or do I have to physically unplug it each time it is not in use for a Skype call (which is the only time I would use it)?
Thanks,

CS3, can't drop clips to the timeline anymore

I made 3 timelines,the first two had clips in it that I dumped to tape. I went back after dumping to tape to set up the third timeline and it won't let me drag anything to it. I've restarted everything, I've renamed the project, anything that I can think of was done. I can't even add to the two other timelines.

Welcome to the forum.
First, please tell us a lot more about what you have and what you are doing.
Tell us about your Project Preset.
Tell us about your Assets that you are trying to place onto the Timeline.
Tell us the exact operation that you are employing to get them there.
A screen-cap of your Project's Timeline and the Project Panel might go a long way to telling us what you have.
Good luck,

Export setting when mp4 clips are in timeline

I have a movie montague of different clips, including mp4 clips.. When I export, no matter what format I export in it makes the final movie all jittery, iall of the mp4 clips do not play properly, what format do I export in to make it play smoothly?

If your mp4 files are interlaced, and you output has a different field order, it will make the output jittery.
Check the mp4 field order, it should have one of three possible values: progressive (if it's this, there is some other problem), upper field first, and lower field first.
Whatever it is, see if it matches the output (which will also have one of those three field orders).
If they are both progressive, let me know and we can figure out other solutions.
