Video not playing but audio is fine

I imported Video High 8 to avi files on an external hard drive from a pc and now wish to edit it in Imovie except Imovie is only playing the audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Why does my video  not play while audio does?

    Using iMovie 9 found that after bringing a clip from clips pane into my project that I could no longer insert or edit the project. The green insert cursor remained but all was frozen. After quitting, video clips in project pane will not play while audio (both audio from the actual clips and music) does play. When mouse hovers/scrubs over the clips in the project pane the video clips do come alive but not when i press space bar or play buttons (play full screen /play project from beginning buttons) in bottom left of window. Strangely video in clips pane do play when I press space bar.
    I tried creating a new project and importing clips but no video will play. Same thing applies to all my imovie projects. Another strange thing, the other projects will play when I click on Play Fullscreen button but not my most recent project. Instead, when I click Play full screen button the Last (ie. last in alphabeitical order) of my projects plays instead!
    I would really appreciate some help with this. Have spent a lot of hours on the project and seems like I can't even start again.  

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Video will not play but audio does

    I transfered some .mov files from my friends mac and tried playing it on my pc. It plays the audio but not the video on Quicktime. I tried using the VLC player and it says some thing about "icod." I tried many converters but they all failed.

    Load one of the videos into QuickTime Player, open the Movie Inspector (from the Window menu), and post the information shown in the Format section. That will provide some important information for diagnosing the issue and suggesting what to do.
    Regards.

  • Video will not play but audio is loud and clear

    When in safari I click on play button for movie, the scren goes white, adio plays but screen stays white.

    Do you have Flash Player installed?
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:

  • HD picture does not play but audio does. Why?

    I have a MacBook Pro 2010, I have HD footage that is at I believe 1080p and only the audio will play, not the picture, it is just black. I have tried opening the clips in quiktime, final cut...any suggestion or help. Tried to do updates but can't quite figure it out. Thanks.

    Hi. I think what you need is Imovie. It will play HD video clips. Do you have it in your Macbook Pro. You show OS 10.6.8 If so should be Imovie 9.0.4  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1412?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  This is the update for 10.6.8

  • Videos not displaying but audio is working

    I am trying to access videos online.  I have done all updates I can think of.  I have restarted the machine numerous times.  I have exhausted my knowledge of fixes.  When accessing videos via youtube, or other media sites, I am unable to view them cleanly.  They are very choppy, they skip, and sometimes just dont show at all.  However, the audio works perfectly.  I have no problem hearing the video, it is just viewing.  I have also noticed the advertisements on the edges of most websites seem to do the same thing; they will either flicker or not show up at all.  Does anyone know how to repair this problem?
    Also, do I update to Mac OS X (10.6.8)?

    My guess is that you're trying to watch HD YouTube videos with a less than satisfactory connection speed.  When I'm at home, YouTube works perfectly with my overpriced internet connection.  If I'm staying at a hotel, with bad speed, I get choppy video.
    Also, Flash has terrible memory leaks.  If you don't force quit Flash every once in a while it starts to use up so much memory that it might cause an issue.  I go into Activity Monitor and kill Flash every time I think there's a problem.

  • When using ipad4, why do videos not play on Google?  Audio works fine

    WWhen using ipad,why do videos not play on Google? Audio still plays. I have reset the Google app and it will be ok for short time but then reverts back to not playing videos.

    Hi Vernon70,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that an application you downloaded from the App Store, Google, is not functioning as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend following the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached article.

  • DVDSP Help - Video not playing in Viewer during some assets, only audio...

    Video not playing in Viewer during some assets, only audio until paused. once you hit the space bar or pause, the video shows up in viewer? same results when burnd to disc.
    when dragging cursor through out timeline (track 1) video shows up in viewer fine too.
    any advice on what could be wrong?
    at first i was thinking this was a memory problem, i added another Gig of ram and the problem still exhists.
    thanks!

    Hi Crazy Dan:
    It's a kind of bug in DVDSP Simulator. If you build your project in your hard drive and test it with DVD Player all video will play fine.
    I would like to tell you where exactly the problem is located, but it's just a Simulator problem.
    Try building your project.
    Hope that helps !

    Yes there is.
    Go to the iTunes Store on your computer.  Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side.  Click the "All" tab on top.  The song is there.  Re-download it.

  • Youtube video is blank,but audio played well. other browser such as chrome got no problem with it. FF Developer Edition.

    - youtube video just blank, but audio is there. tried both embedded in facebook or other website, and at youtube.com. both same result.
    - facebook video played just fine
    - other browser played just fine.. no problem at all..
    - i'm on firefox developer edition
    - tried installing latest flash update, still the same result.

    This problem can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
    Not necessarily.  That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
    If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio.  You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.

  • MP4 video not playing

    Hi,
    I have the following setup:
    Mac Pro w/ 2 NVIDIA GeForce 7300s
    1 card is powering 2 - 23" Apple Cinema Displays and the 2nd card is powering my Plasma.
    The Apple displays run at resolution 1920x1200 and the Plasma runs at 800x600 60Hz. NOTE: I convert DVI down to VGA to run to the Plasma with Apple's adapter.
    The problem:
    When uploading MP4 from HD camera to iPhoto, video image not showing in Quicktime on either of the cinema displays. But, audio works fine. If I drag the clip into iMovie HD it does NOT work either, only audio plays.
    When dragging and dropping the same video clip into an email (Apple Mail), it will play fine in there. If I drag that Quicktime player over to the plasma display it will play fine there as well.
    So, how can I get Quicktime to play on either cinema display at their running resolution of 1920x1200?
    Goal: To edit video in iMovie HD.
    TIA for all of your suggestions!
    Kyle

    I'll look into it. You may also want to try removing the viewer (remove from both iTunes and iPad, sync) and then adding the viewer again just to make sure it's not a memory issue with the viewer. I'll let you know what I find out.

  • Captivate 7 saved project randomly does not play slide audio in preview project.

    I created a training project with over 100 slides. Each slide has an audio track that I recorded, When I preview each slide it sounds fine. When you preview the entire project, some slides randomly do not play the audio track. Try it again and other slides randomly don't play. How can I fix this and prevent it from happening?

    I concur, but do not have the device with me today, and was wondering if this is a common discrepancy. Has anyone tested Captivate output with slide audio into DPS? Does it work?

  • Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
    1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
    2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
    Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.
