Why does audio drop out when scrubbing iMovie events?

Why. does audio drop out when scrubbing iMovie events?

If the audio returns if you slow down scrubbing you are probably just scrubbing too quickly.

Why does audio cut out when/where I use Flex Time?

I can't figure it out. I'm just trying to sync up some vocal tracks only to find out that ONE of the tracks - just one - won't play any audio in the spots where I've moved the flex markers around. I didn't make any drastic or crazy edits. It's just in monophonic mode, although I do hear some faint weird sounds from the track when I switch it to polyphonic. I've tried simply switching to a different track but that didn't work. Does anyone have any insight? I have a deadline and really don't have time for stubborn glitches.

Is there possibly a place on the iPhone to make similar adjustments?
No. Other than the volume buttons, the only "adjustments" are audio equalization in the Music app, and Mono audio to L or R channels in Settings > General > Accessibility > Mono Audio. WYSIWYG.
LOL, have you seen any NAD forums lately?
No, but there are plenty of Nad's hair removal forums.

Audio drops out when following video to external monitor

When I play a sequence to an external monitor, the audio drops out for 2 to 3 seconds after changes on the video track, and then pops back in with no interuption in video output. It doesn't happen at every cut, but it's consistent in the places it does. I thought it might be caused by the size the project has become. So I exported the sequence as a quicktime file, closed the lage project, opened a new one and exported the new file and played it and it happened again, even though there were no edits. It doesn't occur at all when I turn off external video, and play it on the computer. I connected a new firewire from the computer to my DV deck, restarted the computer, but it keeps happening.
Is it that the dramatic change in color, light and compostion crowding out the audios ability to follow the video through the wire?
I'm completely stumped. The next step will be to open the computer and try to blow any excess dust out. I do this periodically anyway, and my last time was two months ago, so I'd be surprised if it works.
Maybe the G4 with 2G processing power can no longer handle the program, but it shows no sign of stuggle in any other way.
My clients are starting to grow restless.

Thank you so much X & Paul, for your suggestions. Although they didn't solve the problem, they kept me hopeful enough to continue my quest for an answer. After exhausting all effort to find the problem in the audio, I decided to focus on the video. So, I tried correcting the excess luma on the consolidated QT movie, and suddenly the problem was fixed. Because of the different levels of correction I'd need for each and every cut in the original sequence, and the precious time it would take, I'd planned to save it for the color correction stage, a mere 2 weeks away. I remembered how illegal white would often cause the image on some monitors, specifically consumer TVs, to waver for a second. But this was happening all the way back to the DV deck's audio meter, so I never expected it to be a luma issue.
I assume that the outdating capacity of my G4 played a part, but I wanted to write back with my thanks, and to impart my illuminated wisdom to the next perplexed soul.
Thanks again,

HELP! Audio Drops Out When Trying to Capture Canon XL2 Footage

Please help me out here. I'm a freelance camera operator w/ a Canon XL2 and several times now I've gotten calls from the editors saying they're having problems logging my footage, mainly the audio drops out quite a bit, and I'm not talking bout one second for every 2 or 3 minutes. No. It's like every 10 seconds the audio drops in and out.
What's the deal? Two times the guy was using a Panasonic DVX-100A to capture, another time it was a SONY DSR mini-DV deck. With each incident I had to go over with my XL2 and use it as the capture device, which is a pain.
The program they're using is FCP HD or 5. But I think even when they just play the tape in their Sony or Pany cameras, the audio may still suck.
Help me out here, I can't be the only one with this problem.
Thanks.

Well Robert Swanson, I hope my post wasn't taken offensively, it certainly wasn't meant as such. The only Canon camcorder I owned was the GL1. After switching to Sony's I can honestly say it would take something significant to go back. And, I was merely relating my experiences in trying to capture from other Canon camcorders so that I know where you are coming from. However, I am interested in the HVX being the "noisest" camera on the market. I am seriously considering this camera and would be interested in a review that points this out. I would be using the hard drive recorder instead of P2 cards.

Audio drops out when scrolling playlists after upgrading new version of 9.2

Hi Folks,
Has anyone noticed an issue when scrolling the playlists in Itunes now that the audio drops out for a second.
I use an external USB audio device by Native Instruments called the Audio Kontrol 1.
I have watched the processes on my PC and when I scroll up and down on the playlist. Something spikes causing audio to not play for a second.
I am hoping to fix this somehow as I do not want to roll back (not even sure if you can). I also have heard with dual core processors that occasionally audio can get stopped as other processes take over where in single core processors everything cued up (any truth to that).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Audio Drop out when editing in Waveform / No Multi track File

Ok so i have a bigger problem. Therefore thats why i am reposting.
I have a 40 minutes video and the last scene needs alot of audio editing. I am trying to export the 8 minute scene to a Multi Track project for soundtrack pro. When i click send to multi track project, i click "Include background video" however when i click save, it exports then gives me the error "Error Sending Selection to Soundtrack Pro" however when I uncheck the "include background video" i am able to open up soundtrack pro and see all the audio tracks but the video is absent.
Its just the multi track that i am unable to do. I am able to export as a Audio File Project and still the video. However when i try to do nosie reduction the audio plays for a few seconds then stops.

Hi Luis,
Thank you for that.
Seems like you have a point about the "hardware" issue. I'm unsure (new to it all) at what data rate my (er...wonderful) fusion drive provides FCPX for smooth playback - or where I can find that info on the iMac. Playing back movies in the 422 HQ codec seems to have no issues (when I converted the movie from 4444 HQ).
But playing the full 4444 HQ, the picture is smooth, but the audio has these drop-outs - even with "best performance" option ticked. Interesting that the audio suffers, not the picture in FCPX - so not sure what's going on there. I also read - perhaps - that to play a smooth ProRes 4444 HQ movie in FCPX the data rate should be min of 500 Mbs (based upon About Apple ProRes) for HD movies and up (i.e. 2k). ProRes 422 HQ needs a data rate of 220 Mbs - so that is my upper-limit to smooth video&audio playback with the current system I have, I guess.
Does anyone recommend a fast USB3 or Thunderbolt drive (500Mbs+) where I am able to run 4444HQ movies with no issues to picture or sound (away from the fusion drive)?

Audio dropped out when burned on DVD - PRE.

I have finished my movie on PRE 8 and burned it on a DVD in high quality. The problem is the background music works, but the audio from the videos is dropped out. When I play it on PRE 8, the audio works perfectly. The video and audio comes from a JVC Everio HDD. Everything works fine until I burn it.
I did not use Instant Movie or Audio Mixer because I did it manually.
Is there anything I need to do before I burn the DVD, or do I need special settings?
Another problem I have is that Organizer turns off and does not work.

Patrick,
You gave me an idea for two tests. They are simple and fairly quick and will not require any real editing in PrE, or another NLE.
Test 1:
From Export/Share, Export your movie. I think you are doing SD/DVD work, so choose DV-AVI. Export just the Video (checkbox for Video and Audio, and you want Video only). This will give you a silent Video-only file. Now, Export>Audio (choose PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit) to get an Audio-only file. Test this Audio-only file. Did you get both the AV's Audio and your Soundtrack? You should. Then, create a new Project to the right specs., and Import those two files. Note, your exact placement of the Audio-only file might not be on Audio Track 1, and just let it go to Audio Track 2. I'd not use Narration, or Soundtrack. Test. Burn to a DVD RW disc, so you do not create a coaster, and test again.
Test 2:
Do a Save_As, name and locate it. Delete your music from the Soundtrack. Export/Share the movie with both Audio & Video. Test. If things are working now, without the Soundtrack, I'd bring in your music, but try placing it on Audio Track 2. Test. Note: an alternative to this would be to do two Save_As Projects. In one, remove the AV's Audio completely, and then Share/Export just your Soundtrack as an Audio-only file. Choose the same PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit. Then Import that into the first Save_As, the one with no music. Again, try placing this file on Audio Track 2. Test.
I worry that maybe one, or both of the fixed Audio Tracks, Narration, and/or Soundtrack, is getting in the way. The above tests will be quick and should get you the results that you need, with what you have. The tests will also tell us if something is wrong with the Soundtrack Track, as it seems to be killing the AV's Audio on Audio Track 1.
Good luck, and please report,
Hunt

Why does video drop out using hdmi adapter?

Hello, the video and audio from my iPad 2 using the HDMI adapter drops out intermittently (actually quite a bit, like every 30 seconds or so)
when I hook it to my TV. Anyone have any solutions?

Thank you Menneisyys, but the Kanex adapter is a 3rd party dongle that plugs into the hdmi port and splits the audio onto a female 1/8 and the video to VGA (for then connecting to a projector). So I'm (rightly?) assuming it is sufficient quality for the task (unless my particular Kanex is a lemon -- which is really my question: is the problem the Kanex or the Apple TV? I have reinstalled (restored to factory settings) the OS on my ATV but that didn't help :(

Why do italics drop out when I copy text to Thunderbird messages?

Whenever I copy text to or from Thunderbird, attributes such as boldface and italics usually (but perhaps not always) drop out. I can always italicize text when It's in a message. What must I do to make copying already italicized text possible?

Why does audio suddenly die when skimming clips?

Selecting a clip on a word or music beat is vital to getting the clip length right and in the right place in the project. Suddenly the audio is gone when you skim with the cursor and will only come on when you press play, making it impossible to accurately select the clip to be moved.
If you quit iMovie and then start again it comes back ... sometimes! I am using two firewire hard drives [500gig and 1000gig] for the events, leaving the mac drive [250gig] 140g to work with. Is there something I am missing?

You may have already done this, but to hear the audio while skimming clips you need to turn on Audio Skimming.
There are two ways to do this. In iMovie's menu go to View and select Audio Skimming (the second to last item in the View menu) - the shortcut is Command-K. Otherwise click on the Audio Skimming icon to turn it off and on. It's on the right-hand side in the strip of icons running through the centre of the iMovie window, directly to the left of the green audio bars. It's shaped like a waveform with a red vertical line through it.
You need to skim through clips reasonably slowly, otherwise the audio cannot be heard. It's also helpful when working with audio to turn on the waveforms beneath the video thumbnails. The icon for this is at the bottom right of the Project window, and also at the bottom right of the Events window (to the left of the thumbnail sliders).

Why does audio cut out 10-15 minutes into iTunes movie? Using Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

My audio cuts out in any completely downloaded iTunes movie (SD or HD) 10-15 minutes into watching it in iTunes how can I fix this?
I have to shut down iTunes completely and restart it again to get the audio to come back. 10-15 minutes later the audio disapears again.
I am running a Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit on a PC, 8 GB RAM, ADM Athlon II X2 265 Processor, 3.30 GHz
Running iTunes application version 11.1.3.8
Quicktime 7.7.4 (1680.86)
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes already.
Any ideas?

Hi RonaldRenaud,
If my understanding is right, this RDP issue only occur in the connection between Windows 8.1 and Server 2008.

Audio drops out when for a moment when I hit record

Is there a way to solve this problem?
I arm a track to record, press play, then when I hit the record buttin the audio disappears for a second then comes back.
I'd like to drop in and out of recording by hitting the record button but it doesn't seem that easy?

Hi
use the 'Punch on the Fly' function:
Options:Audio, or click-hold on the Record button in the Transport.

Bluetooth Audio dropping out when Phone goes into screen lock

I have a 3G running 3.0 and a Sony Bluetooth audio capable car stereo. The audio streams perfectly via bluetooth until the phone goes into screen lock or "sleep ", at which time the audio starts drooping out. As soon as you slide to unlock the screen everything works fine again.
Anyone else with this issue ?

Yup, that's exactly what I've had.
I paired a Jabra BT3030 BlueTooth stereo headset module to my 3G and it worked perfectly until the screen went off and then the audio could only be heard intermittently. When the screen came back on, audio was perfect again. This was completely repeatable.
I posted about this the other day, but just prior to that tried again to confirm and I could NOT get it to occur. No matter how many times I put the iPhone to sleep and woke it up, the audio played consistently with NO dropout which is somewhat frustrating and a bit bizarre.
Looks like there is an issue with A2DP if several of us are experiencing the same problem so bug report/feedback to Apple is required I think.
Has anyone else had the problem go away next time you try?

Why does audio not work when video chatting?

For some reason the audio doesn't work when I video chat (skype and oovoo) The person can hear me but I can't hear them. How do I fix?

Check to see that your little one did not by accident get something (anything) in the headphone jack. If there is debris in there (and it doesn't take much) it will make your device think a set of headphones is jacked in and you won't be able to hear through speakerphone or handset.
While holding it with the jack down, blow across the jack and tap gently. It often will dislodge whatever is in there.
