When I move video clip, my audio clips (unlinked) split ??

I have separate video and audio clips on the timeline (they are not linked). When I try to move a video clip (or multiple clips at one time), before I let go of the mouse, the audio clip(s) below the video split, so that they are before and after the moved video clip. They are not linked together. How do I move a video clip without affecting anything else?
Thanks.

This might be helpful from some of my old notes. The ripple behavior can be overcome by the use of the CTRL
button. However it depends on whether you press CTRL before or after you start moving the clip. When moving clips
around in the timeline there are 4 basic types of movement Lift, Extract, Insert and Overlay:
The first two, Lift and Extract have to do with how the clip is moved OUT of it's current position. To see what I
mean, hover your mouse over a clip in the timeline, then press and release the CTRL key while watching the status
text string in the lower left of the application window, you'll see that holding CTRL before clicking and dragging
triggers the extract behavior (which tells the timeline that there is a gap being created that should be closed)
but clicking and dragging with no CTRL modifier allows the Lift behavior (which tells the TL to ignore the gap)
The second two, Insert and Overlay have to do with how the clip is placed IN to it's new position, that is,
whether it is Overlaid over exisitng footage without any ripple movement or Inserted within the existing footage,
causing any following media (including that on other tracks) to be rippled forward.
Since there is no way to lock down tracks in PE, you must always be mindful of what this default rippling behavior
is doing to overlapping media on other tracks.

How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.
thanks, ralph

Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!

Hi Ralph:
You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
and split it after you split the video and be sure to
keep the playhead in the same position.

How come when I stop and start an audio clip before its done...

How come when I stop and start an audio clip when before its done, that when I play it it only plays part of the file?

I'm not sure if I got you right, but do you mean that it's like pausing...
I have never played an audio clip with java, but if this is the case, maybe you have to rewind the clip.

Move Timeline Playhead to next Video Clip - Ignoring Audio Clips?

I'm colour correcting and want to move the playhead quickly to each video clip.
I wondered if there's any way to get the playhead to ignore audio clips and simply jump to the next video clip?

I think the American expression is DOH!!!
What an eejut.

How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

Hi guys,
First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
      but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
      recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
Please help, all of you experts.

Thank you.
OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
My process is this:
1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
     The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

Problem when exporting movie, video stops after 2 minutes

I set up a Project containing both images and videos. They were all shot using a digital camera (Canon SD400).
When I export the 5 minute movie, around 2 minutes the video freezes, but the music (from an mp3 file) keeps playing. At 2 minutes one of the videos start to play and the video has a little yellow button showing on it in the timeline. None of the other videos have this little yellow button, although I am not convinced that this is the one causing the problem. Here is an image of it:

Any ideas why the video playback would stop when I export it? It plays fine in iMovie when I preview the project, but when exporting, the video playback stops.
Thanks!

I have this very same problem. All 640x480 clips shot with a Canon SD550. iMovie 5 will play back everything fine in iMovie, but once I export the file using H.264 or MPEG-4, the video stops after about 30 seconds (of the 3 and half minutes of the video). The music still plays, but the video has not exported properly (and it shows in the file size).
What WILL work is if you export it to web, but I can't use that. I need it exported at its full quality. (Also will not work, by the way.) But, again, it plays in iMovie just fine. I even tried exporting from the timeline file (with the reference media files) in the iMovie file package—but I get the exact same results.
Quite frustrating considering it works in iMovie just fine. Any other ideas, folks?

Quicktime .mov video but no audio

Running OS X Lion 10.7.5 with QuickTime 10.1.
I can play .mov video but have no audio nor volume control next to play button.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Tried what you mentioned in the last post. I checked the Quicktime folder in both machines and they match exactly.
As an experiment, I tried copying the contents of the Quicktime folder of the G5 to the MacBook pro after re-installing Quicktime 7.1.2 again... and NOTHING! Still get just a blank white screen and audio.
When I do the "Get info" from Quicktime, it tells me the format is: HDV 1080i60
I really thought copying the contents, ALL the contents, was really going to do it! I'm losing my mind at this point!
Again, thank you so much for the help... In the meantime, I will endeavor to persevere!

Toggling between video clips (not audio clips) in the timeline

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a solution to this small inconvenience I am experiencing in FCP 5. When I have snapping enabled, and press the down arrow key, the playhead jumps to the next audio or video clip in the timeline. I am trying to find out if there is a way to jump between video clips only.
Thank you
-Peter

Thanks,
Do you know if there is a way to make the up/down arrows snap to only the video cuts on the video clips in the highest video tracks in the timeline? Thanks.

Jumpy Video over imported audio clips on time line.

I have faltering or jumpy video occurring only where I have imported music. this has never happened before. It happens on all music even aiff.
I need help, cant finish last DVD in a sequence of five.

Hi Lowstone and welcome!
Are any of those audio files imported from iTunes?
That would produce the symptoms you mention if the tracks were copy protected (Get Info in the file menu will tell you).
The workaround is to burn those tracks to a CD, re-import them from that CD into iTunes, save them as AIFF files, and import them into iMovie when they should work fine.

Why does FlexTime appear when I try to edit an audio clip in GarageBand 11?

Hello,
I just upgraded to GarageBand '11 and in the past you could highlight audio and clip, edit, and delete selected waveforms (As seen here: http://cl.ly/2wR6). Now, this just seems to invoke FlexTime!
How do I highlight and clip audio like in the past?
Thanks!

Muxing a .mov video and .m4a audio

I used the screen recording tool in 10.7 (Quicktime), to record a Citrix GoToMeeting. The resulting file a 1080p (recorded on a 17' MBP). I also used Rogue Amoeba's 'Piezo' software to record audio coming in via Skype; exported file is an .m4a audio file.
Simple question - How can I mux the .mov and .m4a file with Compressor?
Also, the audio is a tad bit off, with the video being about 2.5 seconds ahead of the video. What can I do in FCP X to adjust this?

I suppose you could create a job, select surround sound and designate your file as one or more channels – then add the vieo file. You could also turn your video into an m2v elementary strea and your audio into an Ac3, make sure the file names were identcal up to the extension and mux those in MPEG Streamclip.
But if I understand your objective correctly, the better approach would be to bypass Compressor and import the files into FCP X. Adjust the position the audio and video clips until they sync properly and then export to the format you need.
Good luck.

White Screen When Streaming .MOV videos

Hey everyone -
Any thoughts as to why I'm seeing a white screen (no video) and audio when streaming a .mov file from a website?
The computer in question has Quicktime 7.7.2, plugin is enabled and is running Windows XP SP3.
I've tried removing and reinstalling Quicktime, upgrading to 7.7.3 and downgrading to 7.7.1 - no change.
The issue persists using Firefox, IE 8 and Chrome.
I can play the video fine on my MacBook Pro (running Lion) and on another Windows workstation - different PC model but everything else is the same.
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be fabulous.
~Lyssa

Went through and disabled any plugins that could be grabbing it & no joy...I can get it working on another PC that is absolutely identical (same graphics card, software installs & network configuration). Most puzzling!
I think we'll just download the videos from this point forward and try the plugin periodically; eventually it'll start working again.
Thanks for your help!

When i move video to imovie video becomes distorted.

i upload the video from camera to imovie no problem, when i edit and download to face book or other format the video is distorted and blurry

Try this:
Go to the Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
Under the 2 pulldown menus at the bottom of the window choose for Export: Movie to MPEG-4
Under the Use: choose LAN/Intranet
Click Save and save it to the Desktop
Open the Facebook web page and upload that video directly using the web browser. See if the video still looks blurry

Why do I get a black screen when I move video to laptop

Hey
Not sure If this is an io6 thing, before I upgraded I simply plugged my ipad into my windows laptop went to the right folder and copied the video across, no probs.
Now when I do this QuickTime opens but it has a black screen although the sound is there.

Any suggestions.

Can you clip MP3 audio clip with QT Pro 7?

Hi:
That's my question! TIA for any suggestions.

I have .mp3 music files in my itunes, but need to convert them to .aiff files. I was told from someone that this conversion can be done in the Pro version.
Why bother? You say the files are already in iTunes. Why not just use iTunes to convert them? Simply set your "Import Setting" preference to the "AIFF encoder" and you can then use the iTunes "Advanced" menu option to convert single or multiple selected files to AIFF.
