Video clips freeze up when an audio part is locked to it.

I have imported around 200 clips. When I extract the audio from a clip and lock it to another clip for a voice-over, the video part of the clip freezes and then lurches ahead to wherever the playhead is. When I tried to attach a song to a clip from iTunes, the same thing happened. This did not happen in the past (Dec. 2007) but I have recently upgraded the OS and iMovie. I checked for the minimum requirements for iMovie 5.0.2 and the apple site says, "g3 400mhz and 256mb ram". I have QuickTime 7.5 installed. Is it the processor not being able to handle the newer version of iMovie?
help,
Paul

I looked for any discussion on this problem and did a search but did not find anything until after posting this question. I found an extensive thread on what is called a "stutter" at the following location:

  • I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

    I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
    What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony  PMW 320
    When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
    the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
    the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?   
      I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
    What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
    I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
    Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

  • My video-record freezes up when I try to record?

    my video-record freezes up when I try to record?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

  • Video clips freeze and green screen after updating Toshiba PC health

    I recently responded to a message from my PC Health monitor utility to download and update software. After doing this I can no longer watch video clips on line (e.g. youtube clips freeze and picture goes green and internet freezes becomes unresponsive requiring shut down restart.
    I have tried downloading intel graphics drivers but get a message that says this app can't be run on the PC, seek info from manufacturer?
    Can you help please?

    Thanks for getting back to me and apologies - of course I should have provided better detail in my original post. I am not sure on the detail of the driver I updated but I THINK it was the Reltek one?
    Laptop model is Satellite C850 and part number is PSC8WA-05D001 I have tried to download the graphics and audio drivers from your site. When I do though, download goes really well until the last 2 % and then it freezes?
    I got it to complete by pausing the download and restarting it but then when I go to run it two things happen. 1. I get a Windows message saying something to the effect that it is not a recognized app an d a read more link. Clicking on the read more link gives me a chance to choose "run anyway" but then I either get "this app can't run on your PC, check with software publisher".
    Other driver apps seem to get ready to run with a program window headed TSS_Setup.exe but an error message then appears in red "error occurred in reading archive. [121]

  • Video Clips That Do Not Play Audio

    I know it's something simple.  But I can't seem to find the solution.
    I am editing .avi video clips (talking heads) with audio which was recorded on the camera audio tracks. The video clips all play just fine with the accompanying audio in the Source Monitor as well as in the Project Panel player.  But when I Insert the editied clip onto the Timeline, the video appears, while the audio does not.  It's clear I have done something to my settings or the like, as this problem just appeared where previously it did not exist.  Can someone direct me to the source of my problem and the fix for it.  Thanks very much.
    I have noticed that when selecting a clip in the Source Monitor and choosing the Display Mode with the pop-up menu that 'Audio Waveform' is now greyed out.
    Tom

    Bill,
    Did you mean to say "does not look problematic." or, as you wrote, "does look problematic."? 
    To answer your question, the latter; miniDV tape capture originally took place using another PC and was stored on an external HD.  I downloaded the original miniDV tape files from that HD the other user had captured to.  I will say this. The original notes regarding the tape logs made by the person who digitized footage indicates that the original HDV digitized footage (.mpeg) was simply "digitized."  While the .avi footage was converted using Cineform; his logs also show the audio conformed using cineform as well.  Is it possible this is the source of the wonkiness I am experiencing with audio and perhaps the source of all of my trouble?
    To that end, if I were willing to start the project over entirely, could I simply delete the .avi files from my PC, begin a new project and import the HDV (mpeg) footage into PP project panel editing in that format?  Considering the .avi DV files have a window burned Time Code which would eventually require me to conform the original HDV footage (mpeg) to the .avi (rough/fine) edit, would I be better off working with the original HDV footage to start with?
    Oh.  And to answer your last question: Yes, I have had no troubles whatsoever with scratch V.O. audio files I have recorded myself.  I have recorded them at 24-bit 48K sample rate .WAV (poly) files and simply performed a drag and drop to my desktop before copying them over to my data disk where all the other files for my project reside.  Each and every V.O. file I create shows up as a Waveforem on the Timeline.
    I greatly appreciate your guidance.

  • H264 video clip looses sound when imported to FCP X

    I have a simple sequence in FCP X for a presentation.  It includes several photographs plus two video clips.  They are H264 and have audio.  But, when I import these two clips to my sequence, one of them looses its audio.  For the life of me I can't figure out why.  It comes in without its audio wave form and has no sound.  Any suggestions?

    Post a screen shot of the clip in the browser in list view with waveforms and a screen shot of the timeline with waveforms displayed.

  • After Effects Video Clip Freeze in the Timeline

    I  exported 20 seconds After Effects compositions as a Quicktime Animation, and when imported into PrPro CC it just plays 60% of the pictures and will display that frame to the end. The audio plays fine but the pictures will just freeze. It's the second time I have had this problem now. Apparently the exported video play well to the end using Rich Media Player. So basically the problem lies in Premiere Pro. Last time I overcame it by using the clip to create a new sequence which I then dragged into my preferred timeline and it worked.
    Any ideas why this is a problem...

    I would try removing QuickTime from the equation.  It's often a problem.

  • Quality of video clip noticably reduced when Burning Dvd

    Hello everyone, When I Burn a Dvd or veiw my video in the dvd simulator the quality gets significantly reduced. The video looks great before I bring it into Dvd studio pro but then gets somewhat distorted and the video almost seems to ripple in some places. Has enyone had this problem before? I just want to burn nice crisp professional dvds for clients but i can not seem to figure this out. Thanks for any help!

    Could be many things from the Final Cut editing settings to the encoding settings to bad media.
    Do you have any more details on the workflow? How did you edit, what type of video, what computer/OS, are you watching on the computer or a tv?

  • Moving audio with video clip

    i tried to paste audio at playhead, but when i add a new video clip to the movie, the audio does not move with it. does anyone know how to help me!!!! please

    When you lock the audio clip to the playhead, it won't move from the video point it was placed at. You need to UNLOCK those audio clips to allow them to move now. Really, you should get your video work in place first and then move/place your audio clips where you need them. That's the simpler way to approach this.
    Re-reading your post again, it seems you haven't locked the audio to the playhead because adding video ahead should move everything together. Did you highlight the audio clips you wanted locked before clicking on "Lock to Playhead"? Play with it some more, you'll get it, or do what I suggest about adding the audio after.

  • IDVD freezes when encoding audio

    Whenever the project is done encoding the video, it freezes right when it gets to the encoding audio process.

    for over 10 hours
    New info...
    I would suggest Sharing as QuickTime Full Quality and drag that file into a new iDVD project, then create a disk image and then burn. If you have chapter markers, they will be lost. Import that file into a new iMovie project, add chapter markers, send to (new) iDVD project.
    File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Photo Preview Blank + No Audio w/Video Clips

    I "upgraded" recently to iMovie 08, only to learn that it was a terrible step back. So, I was happy to find that I could downgrade back to iM 06, which I did. However, I am faced with two issues:
    1.) A significant portion of my iPhotos do not display. The preview panel is blank/all black. I researched this on the forums and learned that it was a bug related to having deleted the iMovie trash. problem is, I never did empty the trash, or even put anything into it. I'd appreciate any feedback on how to fix annoying glitch #1.
    2.) my video clips imported, but when I play them, they have no audio. please help me fix annoying glitch #2.
    TIA.
    -Lance Uppercut

    Hi
    I use iLife'08 and iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4) needed up-grade Observanda !
    You should upgrade iLife 08 support to 8.1.1
    and run Program update.
    If this isn't enough:
    Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
    Many possible origins. Most common:
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disc if it is less than 10Gb should raher have 25Gb
    • Hard disc is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disc (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new account - log into this and re-try
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.3 - is OK
    Yours Bengt W
    Ps: Size of Your original photos can also matters. 500Mb photos can be a problem
    keep them in a size close to 750 x 650 pixles. I store them in a folder on desktop
    and import into iMovie from here. Ds
