Video loses audio when using transitions

On my band's website, I frequently post videos of us rehearsing or playing at a show. Before I upload the videos, I bring them into iMovie, add a simple fade in and fade out to the beginning and end, and then save them compressed so that they download faster. I've never had a problem with this before.
Today, I tried to work on some new clips. For some reason, the fade ins and fade outs are fading the video correctly, but not the audio. Instead, the audio simply drops out during the length of the transition; it then jumps back in at 100% when the transition is complete.
I turned on "show clip volume levels" in the timeline and the volume on the transition is shown to be fading in gradually, starting at 0% and ending at 100% right before the main clip. That's correct, and that's how it's always looked in the past, except now when I play it back, the actual volume stays at 0% during the transition.
I've tried everything I could think of to fix this, with no luck. I tried importing the video separately instead of pulling it out of my iPhoto library, changing the length of the transition, using a different video file, using different transitions, etc. Nothing works. Furthermore, the problem sticks when I export the video to QuickTime, so it's not an issue just with previewing the video in iMovie. It's also persisted even after quitting and relaunching iMovie, and rebooting the computer entirely.
The only way I've been able to get around it is by selecting the video, extracting the audio, and then manually fading the audio in/out so that it matches the length of the video fade in/out. While this works, it's more work, takes more time, isn't as precise since I have to manually do it, and is totally unnecessary! The transitions are supposed to automatically apply to both the video AND its audio!
Any ideas? Please help - I have a iMovie project due on Monday and I will need to use these effects!

That's the right thing to do in this case (as you found out). But, it may be that this is a one time problem and the next video will work fine...

How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:

Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue. I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web. Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

My Iphone5 was replaced and having same Problem. Only does this when using bluetooth for talking.

I have the exact same issue... I've been using a Jabra Extreme2 and just this weekend, bought a Plantronics Marque2 and today had the same issue, so it's clearly not the headset but the phone or OS.
I might try a restore and see if it helps...

I have no audio when using chrome

I have no audio when using chrome. I have audio when using Internet explorer and when playing from my pc. I have tried uninstalling chrome and flash player then reinstalling them. have tried FAQ on chromes site and Adobe's site. did not work.

Hi Funkd,
The video / audio team is still hard at work trying to fix the audio problems introduced in 11.3. Would you be willing to test a build of Flash Player that contains a few changes and additional debug logging functionality? If so, please contact me directly at [email protected]
Thanks,

No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone.

No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone. The video works, but just static is heard during call. I have attempted multiple calls to another iphone and my mac. Should I send the phone in for repair?

Hi Anne-Lill Holme,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not being heard during FaceTime calls on your iPhone 6, I recommend starting with these troubleshooting tips:
Restart your device.
If using FaceTime over a Wi-Fi network, go to the steps to resolve Wi-Fi network issues.
From:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
Next, I recommend testing your iPhone 6 microphone in other applications, such as Voice Memos.
If you cannot be heard on recordings in other apps, see this article for additional troubleshooting help:
If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch
Best Regards,
Jeremy

How to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping?

how to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping? in premiere pro cs6

You need to give more information about what you want to happen to the audio when you freeze or time remap the associated video.
Is it synch video?
Is it music?
Is it Voice?
Generally .. you have to cut and design the audio around the video effect.

HT201177 no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro

no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro. can only see the video

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

How do you turn off Flash audio when using captivate Nav bar?

Hi Guys and Girls
I have an imported flash file that plays an audio track,
I have no problem turning the audio off, when the user uses
the button within the flash file to go to the next slide in the
captivate movie...
on(release){
stopAllSounds();
_root.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
BUT if the user decides to use the navigation bar within the
captivate movie it all goes pair shape.. The flash audio continues
to play into the next slide. Anyone have a know how to solve this
problem?
How do you tell flash to stop playing the audio when using
the captivate navigation bar?
(The flash file is a flip book and the audio NEEDS to stay
within the flash file)
Cheers
Aquil0

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This totally solved my issue. I had a Captivate 4 movie using an embeded animation that had audio. It would play the audio again when the next slide appeared. I have to use Captivate 4, because my audience still uses Flash 7 (yikes). However, if you have Captivate 5 and are having this problem there is a widget that solves this issue: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/animations-%E2%80%93-audio-sync-issue.html#commen t-3872

ipad air not playing video in nbc app it says video is disabled when using 3g/4g how do i turn it on in settings

The app is saying that a cellular 3G or 4G connection is not good enough for video. Connect your iPad to a WiFi connection rather than cellular to use video in this app.

No Audio When using Video Out to Firewire

I do not get any audio when I use Firewire ntsc as my video out. When I set video out to canvas playback then I get audio. I want to use print to video but I cannot because the audio will not work with Firewire. I get the image on my external monitor but not the audio. I checked to make sure and the audio was not on the recorded dvd. I cannot not use print to video with canvas playback.
My Easy Setup is Format: NTSC, Use DV NTSC DV Converter. I tried using Firewire basic and got the same results.
Please Help
Ken

The audio does not play at all from the timeline if video out is set to Firewire. To answer your question, no the audio does not play in the external monitor when playing back from the timeline when Canvas is used as the video out. However, I don't believe the converter box is the problem. The audio would play in the internal speakers when using firewire as video out but it does not.

Lose audio when converting avi to mp4 on quicktime

I've read the discussions on this but can't find a fix so far.
When I try and convert an avi file to mp4 using either quicktime or MPEG Streamclip, I lose the audio. I don't believe I need to download the quicktime mpeg-2 component for mac osx given I have 10.9.1, but perhaps I do (there is debate on this and I'm confused)?
I tried downloading MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 but it seems to want that component to attach itself. Should I therefore buy it - will it work?
Alternatively, should I buy quicktime 7 pro? I really don't want to.
Can somebody help...please?

So I made a successful and audio distortion free ACC/AAC mpeg4 (.MP4) video from Sony Vegas for the Ziio. You are given a choice of audio (I chose 92kbps). The problem is solved. No more distortions. And all this time I was doing twice the work by importing the MPEG- files into Any Video Recorder and converting to .MP4. That was the distortion result. Hope this helps if you're doing the same kind of work by combining video and audio. Otherwise, it's up to you...
