Video Clips get pushed by Audio Clips

When I add an audio clip to my CC timeline it always pushes my video clips down. Why is this happening? It even happens when I lock my video clips. I'm sure it's something simple but I can't figure it out. Thanks.

shooternz, I shouldn't have been so presumptious to assume that you should just run to my flickr page and download it. I hope you didn't take it that way. I understand your limited time for all of these picky questions. If there is a better way to get that large detailed screen cap to you, let me know. I don't know if the Flickr route was appropriate or not. I'm not sure I would like it if someone just told me to download a big pic from Flickr out of the blue so I applogize if I crossed an ettiquete line. That wasn't my intention. Thanks for even considering it. I don't get the feelilng that my issue is a bug as it's so consistent across all of the targeting/untargeting and sync lock/sync unlock toggling. It's probably something silly I'm doing and I thought I was fairly competent with Premiere CC.

Sony DCR-DVD505 Handycam: Unable to get video clips, audio

Evaluating Adobe Premier. Hopefully helpful for other Sony DCR-DVD505 users.
Objectives:
1) Get videos from Sony DCR-DVD505 handycam into Premier Elements
2) Drag and drop various clips into Sceneline
3) Insert menu markers
4) Burn DVD
Stuck in Step 1, getting video from handycam, unable to get video clips (with audio)
First Try: NO AUDIO.
The Sony DCR-DVD505 burns a mini-DVD (1.4 GB) while recording. After "finalizing" the disk, the media may be imported into the computer. Streaming was supported by Windows XP driver but is no longer supported in Windows Vista. In fact, Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) does not even recognize the camera as a DVD drive! So downgraded to Vista SP1 and used the Sony Picture Motion Browser to import media into computer as MPG files. Each MPG file is a clip (corresponding exactly to camera record on-off sequence while shooting). Then opened up Adobe Premier Elements 8. Used get media to import all the MPG clips into "Organize". Dragged and dropped various clips...inserted a menu or two and...burned the DVD. PROBLEM: VIDEO OK, BUT NO AUDIO(?!). The MPG files on computer play fine (with audio) inside Windows Media Players. Read all sorts of nonsense about why Adobe Premier (probably old versions) cannot work with "low-quality/compressed" MPG and needs to be a particular type AVI soo....
Second Try: Capture VOB directly
Forget the camera. Insert the mini-DVD directly into computer DVD drive, create a new project and followed directions from "Lowdown on VOB" http://forums.adobe.com/message/2117743 and "tools to convert to DVI" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317. I loaded the VOB directly and dropped them into Timeline as advised by the second post (only hitch being the first VOB pertaining to the DVD menu is not recognized and is neither needed).
However, File > Export is always GREYED out (unusable). And the status at bottom right seems to be looping on "Background Rendering". DO I WAIT? In any case, the whole video is showing up as a single continuous stream and what I want are the clips from the camera?!
Then I tried Prism (again as per the second forum post mentioned above). It simply did something to process 30 minutes of video and crashed in the end without explanation - saying there was an error in conversion.
Is this AVI conversion even a good idea? How would I get my clips back??
Bottomline. My mini-DVD and imported MPGs plays fine in Windows Media Player. However unable to extract the camera clips (with audio).

Dawg, I have the Sony DCR-DVD305, and have been using it successfully for quite a while with PE7, with few issues, once I had a workflow nailed down.
I believe the 505 is basically the same camera, with some additional features.
This workflow worked for me in the past so I'll pass that along:
Sony Browser to PC as Mpeg.
Mpeg to Windows Movie Maker, output to DV-AVI, taking default settings.
DV-AVI imported into PE7.
This should also work for PE8.
Upon getting Cyberlinks PowerDirector v7, my new workflow changed to this:
I take the min-DVD directly from camcorder to my PC, and capture the disk via Power Director.
PD will convert the VOB's directly to DV-AVI Type 2 on one pass.
I then load this DV-AVI into PE7.
(PD v7 was pre-installed on my new PC from HP, or it can be purchased from Cyberlink).
Other options to try:
Copy the VOB's directly from the mini-DVD to your PC and use Prism to convert these to AVI.
Or load the VOB or Mpeg into PE, then use that to convert to AVI.
(Export to DV-AVI with PE8 is done with SHARE/PC, not Export under the File Menu, which is greyed out).
I've had many issues trying to work with Mpeg's and VOB's when loaded directly to PE with limited success.
So if you can get it converted successfully to AVI outside of PE, I've found this to be a better approach.
Post results, if any of this works for you...
Note: One other thing, if you are working directly with VOB's to PE, especially multiple VOB's from a single DVD, you can encounter out-of-sync issues between video and audio. If this occurs, review this link from Muvipix:

Can't get rid of audio when deleting a video clip

I am very new to keynote.
I put in a video clip (mp4 or mov) and that's fine. I decide I want to change it so I delete it from the slide and insert another one. Tha's fine but the audio from the first clip is still there and plays away along with the new. If I do not add another clip but just press play the audio plays away on its own.
Obviously I have no visual indication of where this clip is and in my ignorance do not know where to find it to delete it. If i delete the whole slide of course it disappears but that is not the long term answer I am looking for.

@dkg62 – to make clear what's going on, select the text frame and show us another screenshot.
There are at least four cases where you can get a text like that. All cases imply, that the font you'd like to use is missing. I simulated this by formatting text with a font weight that is not available by a character style.
1. The most likely case: There is baseline shift applied; here in my case 9pt.
All other cases are academical, because the pink highlighting is aligned with the text:
2. Text frame options, baseline set to a fixed value (zero in this case)
3. Text on path and the text frame options (baseline) is just the standard default. You can see a second #-end of story sign inside the text frame.
4. Text on path and the text frame options (baseline) is set to fixed (zero in this case). The second #-sign inside the text frame is shifted above because of the fixed value of the baseline option of the text frame options. And obscured by the pink highlighting.

Getting the audio back on a video clip in the time line

hi all,
and happy new year!
have deleted the audio from a video clip in the time line and now want it back, how would I get the audio back?
thanks for your time
jonyfoz

Put the playhead at the beginning of the clip and press the X key. It should mark in and out point for the clip. Press the F key to match frame back to the same clip. Make sure both video and audio target tracks are set correctly and press F0 to overwrite and edit the clip with audio back into the timeline.

I have a orange audio bar that doesn't extend to the end of the video clip. How can I get the whole audio?

In my video clip there is an orange bar that does't extend to the end of the clip. I think this is an audio bar. How do I get the full audio to play when I move the clip to the project?

Did you try to set it up "as new ipod" without using the latest backup? The backup might contain damaged data causing your problem. If setting up "as new" does not work, you'll have to get it serviced.
Setting up as new device and transferring data before doing this is covered here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137

Imovie11 audio on video clips does not convert when sharing, just get white noise

Imovoie 11 audio on video clips works in project mode, upon sharing to theater or file it generates whitenoise. Project mode has original video sound and added song paired correctly. Comes out as white noise in theater or new file.

Hi,
I did some more testing this time a shorter 2 minute video. Again trying to mute sections of the audio. I used garageband again to edit. Then convert the MOV with both FFmpegX and Flash 8. FFmepgX converted the file in about 1 minute, but still did not render the muted sections as mute.
I converted then with flash 8 it took about 30 minutes, god that is slow, but it did retain the muted sections. So I'm thinking maybe the FFmepgX converted has an issue with audio tracks that come from garage band.
Thanks,
Mike

Soundtrack clip pushing video clips out of place

What am I doing wrong? I've added mp3 sound clips ok until now, when I'm finding the track I insert on the soundtrack bar pushes all the video clips to the right for the distance of the sound clip.
If I put track at the end, I've tried right clicking the intervening blank space when I get the supposed option to 'delete and close gap'. But doing that does nothing.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Tim (PE10, Win 7).

Tim,
Great news! Thanks for reporting.
It's interesting, at least to me, that PrE chose the Ripple Edit as the default, where Insert Edit is the default in PrPro. The Ctrl modifier key toggles to the other method in each program, but they are just the opposite of each other. I often have to stop and think which program I am in, and watch the Cursor, to see which mode I am in. Guess that the PrE developers figured that the average user would want Ripple, while the PrPro developers decided their user-base would want Insert.
For the MP3's, many work fine. I do not like the MP3 compression, so avoid it, should I be creating the Audio. I stick with the larger, but higher-fidelity PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit. When one has an issue with an MP3, converting, with, say Audacity, to PCM/WAV w/ those specs., usually solves the issues. I rather do that out of habit, problems or not, and only use MP3's for some SFX files, which are small. I just never use MP3's for music, or for dialog.
Good luck and happy editing,
Hunt

How do I sync multiple audio clips to one video clip?

I have video (with stereo audio from a camera mic), and for each take, there are also four additional mono audio tracks that line up with it. It was footage shot outdoors in the city, so I guess the filmmakers just wanted to have as many options for sound mixing as possible given how much background noise there would be. I have tried selecting the video clip and the four audio clips at once and selecting "synchronize clips," but it doesn't work. It spits out a synchronized clip that seems to have converted two of the mono tracks into one stereo track... and then disregarded the remaining two mono tracks. It's a mess. It's likely someone else will fine tune the audio once I'm done cutting the video together... but I'd like to get all the audio tracks properly synced from the start. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.

How do you link two audio clips to one video clip?

Hi guys,
I want to think multiple audio clips to one video clip and aint know how to do it! I found this page on Adobe knowledge base:-

It says you can do it but I don't think it explains how? Can anyone provide me with the simple steps required to link two audio clips to one video clip? Many thanks.

Is there any way to get a video clip to snap to a beat marker?

I have tried everything and cannot get this to work. The video clip snaps ONLY to the timeline and ignores the beat marker. It doesn't make any difference if "Snap" is on or off.
When "Snap" is on and I attempt to move the video clip to snap to the beat marker, I see a red line indicating the edge of the beat marker, but there is no way to get the clip to snap to it.
This to me is a bug and I hope this can be fixed soon because there is no way to truly synchronize your video to the beats of your audio track. Those of you who think your video is "beat" synced to your audio, please look very closely at the precise location of your video in relation to your wave forms.
Another way of putting this whole thing is that there is no way to position the start or endpoint of any video or audio track in-between any frames. The start and endpoints will always coincide with a frame. It would be real nice to be able to nudge a track left or right so that it's start or endpoint lie in-between a frame.

I keep getting people telling me how it is possible to position the starting or end point of a clip in-between a frame. With all due respect I don't think these individuals really understand the relationship of the clip and the frame. At least that is my understanding.
So I assume that the following is true:
If you want to sync a video clip to an audio peak that lies in-between a frame, the only possible way that his can be done is to edit the audio so the audio peak falls precisely on a frame. This is because you can only place begin and start points of a clip directly on a frame and not in-between.
Does this sound correct?

No audio in video clip in slideshow

How do I get the audio associated with a video clip to play in iPhoto? I have several clips taken on a digital camera--with audio--and have them imported into iPhoto. When I make a slideshow incorporating one or more of them, they play fine but with none of their own audio. How do I get their audio tracks to play in the slideshow? If I double click on any of the video clips separately before making a slideshow it opens Quicktime and plays the video and audio OK.

I am using iLife 2009 and do get audio clip associated with Video however it does seem to have some issues. Clips from one of my cameras (Sony - in avi format) work fine .. I can even choose an iTunes track or playlist and iPhoto blends the two.
However, I can not seem to get audio associated with clips from one of my other cameras - JVC (.MOD format converted to MPEG4).
The clips do have audio when played by itself in iPhoto however when I go to slide show mode, the audio disappears.
Still trying to troubleshoot ... will post if I am successful.

I'm a new user and learning, I bought and installed Premiere Pro cs6. I got a nice video clip but has a baby cried in the background and very annoying. I have tried all of the sounds in Prem cs6 but didn't work. My question is, do I need to get a separate sound software download and install to be able to use it?

In the CS versions, there was some audio capability in PrPro but you needed to get a separate audio program for major work. Lessening a baby definitely qualifies as major work. That's lessening, i dont mean eliminating. Adobe's audio program is Audition. There are others "out there'. In the CC versions one just downloads Audution also.

How to extend audio from a video clip over an adjacent still image

I'm in iMovie 11. My project looks like this: video A, transition, still image B, transition, video C. I want the sound from video C to start playing while still image B is on the screen. I tried following the iMovie 11 help instructions for extending a video clip's audio. I click on video C and open the precision editor. From there I can grab video C and move it back so that it overlaps with the still image, but all that happens is the still image still shows up, without sound, and video clip C starts in the middle. The help instructions seem to indicate that I should be able to drag only the audio and make that overlap the still image, but it's not happening. Either the video and audio move together, or nothing moves.
When I try detatching video C from its audio, I just end up with a big mess because later the audio and video don't synch up.
What am I doing wrong?

I am having the same challenge... any tips here would help me out in a big way. I recorded my boss tdoing a training session and now I would like to have the powerpoint slides change as necessary - but I want the audio to remain. I would love to just get the slides to change rather than back to full before bringing up the next slide. Jim, if you come up with anything, let me know. I have VC2 pro.

PS4 including Party audio in video clips

I am wondering if anyone has the same issue as me and my friends where when you are recording video clips and everyone has their voices shared and party audio is include in the clip only my voice (or their voices on their end) are being included in the clip, if you know how to get this working the help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi Max:
You can extract all of the original audio. It will show up on the second line of the timeline.
Click on one of the extracted audio clips and Edit >'select All". Use the volume slider to mute all of the clips to "0".
If they aren't already, you will need to split the audio where you want to hear it and go back to the volume slider and increase the volume there.
Man, I'm not a very good teacher-hope you understood that one!

Does version 12 support producing video clip with AMR audio codec?

From some documents i used as reference to proceude some videos for my phone Premiere Elements 8 can produce video clips with AMR audio codec. I bought today the Premiere elements 12 but I can not find a way to set AMR audio codec for my video clip. Only AAC audio codec seems available. Is it possible to add AMR codec to 12 version?

Neurona17
Adobe typically supports only current version, and, if you purchased from it, is strict on "within 30 days of purchase": for money back on that current version purchase. I do not believe such a thing as a "change the license for other earlier release such as 8 or 9" exists at Adobe. But, you could ask. If you wish to purchase one of those earlier versions that supports AMR export, you might still find some online.
Is the before import conversion of AMR to WAV a viable alternative?
You wrote
Unfortunately so far I have not been able to generate any useful video clip for my system with this 12 version.
Is this in regard to the AMR requirement or to any video without the AMR audio?
Online I have seen that there is a download for the AMR audio codec. Does your system now show that you have such a codec installed on your computer. If not, I am not sure if download of this codec would place it in the Premiere Elements Publish+Share export settings choices, similar to import of some .avi video codecs. (Sometimes 3rd party codecs can create problem, so proceed with caution if you pursue that AMR audio codec idea.
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Thanks.
