Video jerky after adding voice-over

The video imports nicely, but when I do voice-over using a Logitech headphone, the video portion becomes jerky. Something similar was discussed in the forum about a year ago, but it appears that nothing was resolved? Would appreciate help on this. Thanks

iMacG5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iMovie 5.0.2 QT 7.1.3

always convert and AIFF files to MP3 first..... only have about 20 audio clips, but they're mostly voice over and AIFF files.
No. iMovie converts MP3 format to AIFF anyway. Some have found more stuttering problems with voice-overs.
I'm stuck right now with a half hour video that i managed to finishe editing but can't play or export to tape without terrible stuttering
If you have enough space on your hard drive, you can 'share' your finished movie as QuickTime Full Quality. Import this QT movie into a new iMovie project. It should now play without stuttering, allowing you to export it back to DV tape. If the QT movie plays fine, you can delete the original iMovie.
You can add chapter markers and use this version for iDVD.
I use this method all the time. Sometimes I have had to create QT movie version three times when editing a long or complex iMovie. Even before adding audio, my movies will skip/stutter on playback if I have lots of transitions/effects/total clips. I have learned to edit the movie by cropping the video clips first, adding stills, doing transitions and titles/effects, and adding the audio last. If it starts to skip with the addition of the first audio clip, I delete that clip, share as quicktime, and then work on the quicktime version in a new iMovie and go ahead with adding the audio to that.

  • Adding voice over to after effects project

    Hi,
    I'm very new to after effects and so far am mastering the basics and introducing keyframes to adjust opacity, position etc. I'm pretty happy with what I have created thus far on my project, but now I wish to record a voice over on my video.  I know I can create a voice over track in audition, but I would like to see the preview of my video while I speak to I can time myself right etc.  I have always done this very easily in iMovie.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction please even if it means having a preview of my video in audition.
    Thanks,

    The way you want to do this is a little bit backward for AE.  The most common way to work is to import an audio file of the voiceover, and then animate using the voiceover as a reference.
    So I'd recommend just recording the voiceover, importing it into AE, then adjusting your AE animation.  It shouldn't take very long.

  • Video shaking after adding few elements

    Software : Premiere Elements 11
    OS : W7
    Hello,
    I'm preparing tutorial for a software. I made a video capture of my software with Jing and I got a .swf (I used Jing to the video capture after testing many solutions because this is the only one without bugs and big advertissments).
    So I add my .swf without problem on my timeline, but after adding few elements (voice, pictures, ..) everything begin to shake and to flash. I tried to make it new again, but each time after few elemnts added, averything's shaking.
    I used the "rendering" (I'm not sure how to call that in english, in french it is "rendu") but it isn't chaging anything.
    If you have any idea,s it is very welcome !

    Thanks for your answer. Unfortunatly, I have no choice because there is no other possibilities of extension and I spent already days by tring other softwares.
    The point is : it is working well till there is "too much" others elements. For exemple if I just add voice and 1 or 2 gif, it is ok. But if I had more things, it is shaking and flashing ... so I don't think it is from the .swf. Maybe you know a good freeware to record video on an other extension, witout bugs (all I tried are with big adverstissment or with strange bugs like everything pink and deformed ... ?).

  • Problem in adding voice over presentation

    Ok so I want to do a voice over narration on my keynote presentation
    I go through the steps of adding audio to my presentation, on the recording screen
    the red button is not blinking and my voice is not recording onto the presentation can anyone help pls
    Ogay

    This is my recommendation.
    Step 1) Create your Keynote presentation.
    Step 2) Record your speaking part (separately) with an audio recording program.
    I recommend Audacity. It's a great free application. You can download Audacity from www.sorceforge.com among other places. You'll also want to get the Audacity LIB file that is needed to export your audio recording to .mp3.
    3) From the Keynote Inspector, under the Document tab, go to the audio section and add your new voice recording file to the Soundtrack.
    4) From Keynote, go to File, Record Slideshow.
    While the audio plays, click through your slides. This is getting the slide change time down.
    5) From Keynote, go to File, Export. Make sure to have the following settings:
    Playback Uses: Recorded Timing
    Include audio (sound files, movie audio): NOT SELECTED
    Include the slideshow soundtrack: NOT SELECTED
    Include the slideshow recording: SELECTED!!!
    Click next and your Keynote presentation should export to a .mov file (keep in mind, this .mov file has no audio. we'll take care of that in the last steps).
    6)Open the new .mov Keynote presentation in Quicktime Pro.
    7) Open the original .mp3 sound file in Quicktime Pro.
    8) Select All of the .mp3 file and then click CTRL + C to copy it.
    9) Go back to the .mov Keynote file and Select All. Then go up to Edit > Add to Movie.
    This adds your sound and movie file together.
    10) Finally click on File > Save As. Select, Save As A Self-Contained Movie and you're done.
    I Hope This Helps!

  • Adding voice over

    I have been using i-movie for about five years and never needed to add a voice over but I now need to do this on a sports training video where a coach wants to make a training video and then mute the sound and dube his own instructions into the video..so that his voice would be heard and no background. I am using 6 HD and wonder if anyone else has done somthing similar. I assume I might could use a tape recorder and extract the sound and input it into i-movie, etc. Anyone been here before....tks /ej

    Another thing to look at in this process is to enable the timeline viewer (the little box with the clock face on it at the left just below the large view of the current clip). Then you can Show the Clip Volume Levels on the View Menu and you will see the volume indicators in each of the video clips. You can now select clips and go to the Advanced menu and Extract Audio. this brings the audio markers down on one of the audio tracks from which you can select one, several or all and delete. The effectively gives you a silent video of the clips you have selected. Now use the suggestion of Rich839 to do the voice over. The advantage here would be that you can preserve the sound of sections of the video either as background or to avoid complete silence when the narrator is not speaking...

  • System lockups/video corruption after adding hard drive

    I have a first generation MacPro with an ATI video board. I recently added a 1 TB Western Digital "Black" hard drive, and I used Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate the first drive onto the Black HD, which is now my new boot drive.
    Ever since I did that, my system has become quite unstable and locks up frequently. What typically happens is I'll get a garbled single row of pixels in random places on the screen, and then within a few minutes it will lock up if I try to do anything that is graphics intensive such as using Expose's active screen corders to show my desktop, or opening a folder with dozens of different icons (like the Apps folder). It /seems/ like the problem is compounded when I am using FireFox, but that may simply be because I use it alot.
    After the lockup the only way to regain control of the machine is to hold in the power button.
    I've even gone as far as removing the original drive thinking that perhaps the system might be confused and is pulling drivers or whatever from the old drive. That didn't help.
    Any thoughts as to what is happening here? It's seriously driving me nuts (not to mention wasting a lot of my time constantly having to restart the system).

    Did you run Disk Warrior before and after cloning?
    Repaired permissions?
    Re-ran 10.5.7 combo update?
    I'd even look in system profile - memory and see if there are errors showing (doesn't show errors from prior system boots though).
    Cleaned out the X1900; add copper cooling kit $29, or look into another ATI card.
    Before using any new drive, zero it. And if you have Windows and the drive is backed up or before you put files on it --- do a complete and thorough zero and extended test in Windows using WD's own Diagnostic utility - much better, reliable, and does map out bad blocks while Disk Utility and other OS X tools rarely do. But any new drive... I've had 3 out of 6 need such treatment.
    As a test, reboot back on your original why not? I'd have done that just to narrow down the possibilities.

  • Video choppy after adding audio

    This is my fourth year creating a basketball highlight video for the local high school and I have a new problem I haven't been able to solve. I've imported clips from the past 5 games using iMovie HD and everything worked great. I recently added a song for background music (same thing I've done previous years) and now when I play the video it is real choppy. The audio plays fine.
    I've seen previous posts regarding this topic suggesting exporting the video with sound track and re-importing. I can't do this because I'll have to go back later to shorten or lengthen clips depending on how the rest of the season goes. I also read you can solve it going back a version in QuickTime, but I can't do that with 10.4. I have playback set to Standard under preferences. I'm using an external firewire drive with 30gb available. iMovie is stored on my internal drive. I've ran all the recommended maintenance on my mac. Does anyone have other suggestions?

    Same problem here. Do you have a lot of audio clips? I'm working on a project with around 40 audio clips, and I find that if I delete half of them (no matter which half), the choppy video is gone. Very frustrating, and I hope there's an answer soon which doesn't require buying a new computer.

  • Imovie limits for voice over?

    I did record a training with camera and a separate recording for audio. Now Im trying to put it together. But when I bring the audio into the project with the video it only sounds for about 7 mts 20 seconds.
    Is there any limit for I movie?. I dont believe so
    Can anyone give me any hints to solve my problem and have all the audio with sound with my video?
    Thank you very much

    Sorry, My english not good enough. What Im adding to the video its not a voice over. It is a soundtrack mp3 (with only voice).
    its a 1 and half hour track and it sounds only 7mts.
    Same problem in two different trys.
    Thanks for help

  • Voice over gets error measage 1701

    New iPod shuffle
    Won't load voice over
    Also I noticed it won't let me choose a language after enable voice over

    I managed to reinstall VoiceOver by activating it from Itunes on the Windows machine. In my case it was a Win8 trial one on VMWare Fusion, but seems that any can work. Since the problem appears only on Mavericks, it's likely that Itunes on MacOS 10.8 or earlier will work too.

  • Captivate 7 and adding Closed Captioning to my training *No Video just Voice Overs*

    Afternoon Adobe Community,
    I want to pose a question to all you experts out there on an easy way to display text from the slide notes as a form of closed captioning for my Voice Overs... I am aware that with video it has the functionality to add closed captioning but was hoping for a viable option to do this for pre-recorded audio that I have the transcript in the slide notes.
    This may not be possible but figured I would give it a shot.
    Thanks!

    Hi there,
      To convert Slide notes as closed captions, Please check the 'Audio CC' checkbox present in the slide notes panel (Audio should be present in the slide )
    This will convert all the marked Slide notes as closed captions automatically. You can synch the converted closed captions with audio from the Edit>Audio>Closed captions dialog.
    Thanks,
    Nimmy Sukumaran.

  • I don't hear the music and video sound anymore! (only the voice over) Can someone help me?

    I am making a video, and now I only hear the voice over, when I play the video in Premiere Elements 12..
    Can someone help me?

    marcolk
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update?
    To your immediate problem....there is a known issue with Premiere Elements wherein the sound is lost on numbered audio tracks and soundtrack when narration with the program's Narration Tool is added to the project. I suspect that you have fallen into this issue reported by several, but not all.
    A remedy has been given by the ID Llamadude 99 and this remedy as well as some modifications of it have worked for most to overcome the problem.
    Please read the following for the details, and then let us know the outcome.

  • In iOS iMovie, can I create a new voice over track while listening to the video clip's audio?

    Can I hear the original track of a video clip while adding a voice over using iOS iMovie?  When I try to record a voice over for a clip that already has video, the video's audio is muted. 

    Forget it-- I figured it out.
