Why is Organizer "deleting" partial audio on video clips?

I just installed Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 11 a few weeks ago on my Mac desktop (Intel dual processor, OS X 10.6.8 - Snow Leopard). I am working with both standard definition and high definition clips from Panasonic camcorders. It doesn't matter what format -- when imported into the organizer it loses about half of the audio. The clip retains the video and audio lines, but the audio mysteriously "drops out" about half way through the clip. This can actually be seen in expert view -- the audio waveforms just disappear and the line goes flat even though the original clip outside of Organizer still has audio. I tried capturing through both Premiere and through Adobe Bridge which is the downloader I previously used. It doesn't matter -- when the clip goes into the Organizer, part of the audio disappears. I've got plenty of space on my hard drive and more than enough ram, so I have no idea why it's doing this. It's very frustrating because I was so looking forward to being able to tag video clips again. Photos import beautifully without a hitch. It's just the video clips with audio that have this problem. Again, I checked the clips on the camera -- audio is fully intact. Even after uploading with Adobe Bridge the audio is intact. But the minute it goes into Organizer, it gets messed up. Any idea why this is happening? Please help! Thanks.

I realize your interest in the Organizer for tagging your files. But from a troubleshooting perspective, I would ask:
If you import any one of these files in question from its hard drive save location into Premiere Elements 11 Mac using Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets and dragging the file to the Timeline Expert view, can the video on V1 be seen and the audio on A1 be heard without issue?
You offer that you are working with standard and HD footage from a Panasonic camera. Could you please tell us the video and audio properties of these files involved as well as their file extension? What is the duration of a typical file that will not play back in the Organizer?
What players do you have installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 11?
Let us start here and then review the situation.
Thanks.

Extracting audio from video clip to use as narration?

Hi there,
I have a video clip in which I want to take the audio of actor speaking and put it onto another video.
I.e. he is speaking about walking in the park. I want to take him speaking about walking in the park and put it onto the clip where he is actually walking in the park.
How do I do this in premiere elements 10?

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the quick response. I guess my question now is how would I do those two things?
In terms of exporting the audio, where can I find that option when I'm on timeline?
What do you mean by "Alt-click" and what is a "muxed file"?
Thanks again,
Mallory

Welcome to the forum. There are several ways to accomplish this, and your choice might well rest on how you like to work, and what you are doing, such as Deleteing Video. First, you could Export/Share just the Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, from your Timeline, and Import that into a New Project, where the Audio WAV file would be used. OTOH, you could Atl-click on the Video portion of the muxed file, and Delete the Video, leaving only the Audio portion. Good luck, Hunt

Audio From Video Clip

I want to use and save as a mp3 only the audio from a video clip. I've detached the audio and
tried deleting the video file but both the audio and video clip is deleted.

MacOs doesn't support mp3 as an export-format. so, this is a two-step process:
• in iM, 'Export with Quicktime' your project, choose 'aiff' as Export option (=audio only)
• import that file into iTunes, which has to be set in its Prefs to 'convert imports to mp3'
you'll find the resulting .mp3 by ctrl-clicking on your track in iTunes, 'Reveal in Finder'.

Audio and video clip lengths differ in encore timeline

Hi
I have been working to build a BD-R H.263 ac3 disk. I used AME from within Premiere Pro to export the M4V and (at the same time) AC3, using the present defualt parameters-no tweaking of any setting. The clips appear to play great on encore's monitor--everything in sync.And on the burned BD-R
However, I am getting the black screen between clips in the timeline when played in the standalone BD player, or (when I had one clip to a timeline) in a playlist. a previous poster made note of different length audio and video clips. I zoomed on the timeline and lo and behold--the the audio and video clips are different lengths.
This is with the timeline fully expand--each division is a frame. Note that break between the two audio clips is offset from the break between the two video clips by two frames. This offset is after several clips. I could find no information on what the one frame crosshatching at the end of the leading clips means. Can anyone explain this cross hatching? What do I do about it? the image below is after the first clip in the timeline:
In this image, the offset is less than a full frame??????
I tried using the trim tools to bring these together-but, the trim tool only lets it jump a full frame and then only to a GOP boundary, which doesn't help because the boundaries are obviously different fro the video and audio track.
I want to emphasize that these assets were created from the Premiere CS4 timeline (which had no offset between audio and video) using the default H.263 and AC3 presets in AME and the same presets selected in Encore.
The offsets do not appear to cause the actual audio and video to go out of sync when I play the burned disk. But, I get the 1-2 second wait between menus and chapters, or with items in a playlist.
The audio offset suggests that the player may not know what to do when faced with a chapter point that is different on the audio and video tracks, although, I will note that encore snapped to the joints in the video track not the audio track.
You can see from this listing that several of the clips audio and video lengths that differ by one frame. By the end of the timeline, the cummulative offset is 3 seconds (48 minute timeline)
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks

I don't think that I had the same problem that you do, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents just in case it might help. Encore would not build the output; it said something like the inpoint and the length did not match the endpoint. Actually, I think this happened in several different situations. In one case I simply adjusted the audio and video tracks to match endpoints. In the other case I went back to Premier and found that in some cases where I had added transitions it had shifted the endpoints of the audio and video tracks so they did not match. I removed the transitions. It didn't matter that much to me since I'm doing this for personal use. Is it possible those crosshatched lines you're seeing are transitions?
I am using CS 3 and editing HD. I have had many problems with encore. I read in the form someplace that it had a hard time handling H.264 so I changed to MPEG-2 and that fixed one problem. In another case it couldn't find some files and I found some advice not to use HD or wide menus, so I switched to standard 4:3 menus and it worked.

Issue - syncing Audio and Video Clips

Hi Friends -
Definitely, I am newbie for - editing in this application (Adobe Premier CS6) .
My idea is to sync audio and video clip - 'based on clip markers' or 'based on Audio wave' .
But, in my machine, I dont see option to 'add clip markers' (in Marker Menu) for these clips, which are supposed to merge. And, coming 'based on Audio wave' - I dont even see those options, when I select (both clips to be merged) and choose merge.
Am I missing any setting - Do I need to have any additional plugins for that? Can anyone pls. help regarding that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kireeti.

The audio option wasn't added until Premiere Pro CC.
You can set clip markers in the Source Monitor with the M key.

Merge audio to video clips, end of clip loses audio

This is driving me nuts. After merging audio and video clips, sync to slate using the in points, everything is in sync.
The audio is longer than the video itself. But WAY before the scene ends, the audio mutes. The waveforms are visable but no audio plays. It drop out. It happens to every merged clip I create. I don't use the out points either.
Anyone else have this issue??
If I take an alternate method to sync them in the timeline and create a clip from there, it makes a new sequence clip losing the scene and take metadata. That's not good. Is there a workaround?

It happens on every project and different formats. I do use FCP Rescue and that doesn't solve it. I did figure out a work around which involves a few more steps and is more time consuming. Maybe this can help find the problem. Here is the ridiculous workaround steps. We should send this to Apple.
The "--" are the extra steps.
To get a good merged subclip.
Open the audio file and add the 'in point' to the slate.
--Drag audio clip to the timeline.
--Drag the audio clip from the timeline to the browser window.
Merge with video.
Viola. Audio won't drop out. But the waveforms are completely off with the sound.
Next step is to open the merged clips and Make Subclip so you don't have that extra media in the beginning and end. And the waveform seem normal.

MERGING AND SYNCING more then one audio and video clip?

Is there are way to select a bin of video clips and a bin of audio clips (DSLR with separate audio) and have Premiere analyze and sync them in batches like Avid. I have a mountain of audio and video clips, but with no rhyme or reason to the file name, no timecode, no slates, just waveforms. But without knowing which audio files go with which video files, it’s impossible (or least time-consuming).
Or do I have to use plural eyes or other synchronising program for doing that?
THanks.

Do the video clips have audio. That is, are you seeking to match A/V clips with audio-only clips? If so, then Premiere can do that. Select all the clips in both bins, right-click & select Create Multicam Source Sequence, and select Sync by Audio.
Whenever Premiere finds that two or more clips match each other but no others in the batch, it creates a multicam source sequence of just those clips.

Imovie11 audio on video clips does not convert when sharing, just get white noise

Imovoie 11 audio on video clips works in project mode, upon sharing to theater or file it generates whitenoise. Project mode has original video sound and added song paired correctly. Comes out as white noise in theater or new file.

Hi,
I did some more testing this time a shorter 2 minute video. Again trying to mute sections of the audio. I used garageband again to edit. Then convert the MOV with both FFmpegX and Flash 8. FFmepgX converted the file in about 1 minute, but still did not render the muted sections as mute.
I converted then with flash 8 it took about 30 minutes, god that is slow, but it did retain the muted sections. So I'm thinking maybe the FFmepgX converted has an issue with audio tracks that come from garage band.
Thanks,
Mike

Why Does My Mp3 Audio Behind Video Clip Cut To Length Of Video Clip?

Ok. So I am trying to put together a music video using iMovie 11, and am having the hardest time getting started. I put my selected video clip up on the dashboard to get ready to cut as well as edit the footage. When i put the Mp3(Song) on the dashboard it automatically cuts to the length of the amount of video footage that is on the dashboard at that time. I have tried to lengthen the duration of the mp3 using the settings feature given on the audio clip, but it automatically jumps back to the duration of the amount of video clip. Ultimately I am trying to lengthen my duration, and have my mp3 the full length of the song to stay for the whole project, which gives me room and a real chance to work with my clips. I figure that it is something very conspicuous that I am missing. I'm sure it is just a minor issue, and would love if somebody could help assist me with this problem. Please, and thank you your time is much appreciated.

Hey Matt,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re trying to add an audio track to your iMovie project but you’re running into an issue adjusting the length of the track. If you haven't already, try making audio waveforms visible in the Project browser as shown in the article linked below.
iMovie '11: Set the beginning and end of a sound or music clip
Using audio waveforms:
With audio waveforms visible in the Project browser, you can modify aspects of all the sound elements in your project in the same window. This feature is especially useful if you have many changes to make to your project’s audio.
These instructions apply to modifying the startpoints and endpoints of audio you’ve added to your project, or audio you’ve detached from video. These instructions don’t apply to modifying the audio recorded with, and still attached to, your video, or to modifying background music you’ve added.
With your project open, click the Audio Waveform button below the Project browser.
Waveforms for each of the sound elements in your project appear in green, blue, or purple bands below the video clips. Blue waveforms represent the sound that was recorded with your video. Green waveforms represent sounds and music you’ve added to your project. Purple waveforms represent voiceovers or audio that was detached from a video clip. Names appear in the top-left corner of each green or purple waveform to make it easy to identify them.
Select the sound clip you want to trim by clicking its name at the top of its waveform; the clip becomes outlined in yellow.
Move your pointer over either end of the clip so that it turns into a resize pointer (if the clip has a jagged edge, it means the clip is split onto two lines), and then do one or both of the following:
To set where the sound clip starts playing, drag its left edge to the right or left.
To set where the sound clip stops playing, drag its right edge to the right or left.
Cheers.

Why can I not burn audio and videos together as audio cd anymore? her

My Mac Book Pro used to ask me if I wanted to mix (burn)audio and videos together from a created ITunes playlist.... now it dosent and when I burn the Playlist it dose not burn the videos audio as before.

Audiobooks from Apple are a once-only download.

Recovery project automatically deleting all audio and video transitions

When Premiere crashes, the recovery project has automatically removed all audio and video transitions. This has happened to one project about 3-4 times.. Has anybody seen this or has a solution?

No ... but I'll just kick in here that it is good to have your auto-save set for not too long a time, and not a bad thing to manually save-as to an incremental every so often. It does mean your last couple few minutes of work need to be re-created, but ... that's nothing compared to losing a LOT of work.

Re-importing synched audio to video clips in the timeline

Hello, i have edited together a project with a whole bunch of clips and i unlinked the audio and deleted it to replace it with music but now my client wants the original audio back.
Is there any way of automatically reconnecting the audio to the selected video files in the time line?

Welcome to the forum robz85!
Fastest way to do this:
1. put the playhead over any video clip you need to add the audio to in the timeline. Doesn't matter where within the clip you set the playhead... just don't move it after step 2 nor move it in the Viewer after step 2)
2. With the Canvas active, type f.
3. connect the audio to the tracks you want to add it to in the timeline window on the left (connect the track buttons) then type F11 to perform a replace edit.
4. If you have filters on those clips, copy the video only clip in the timeline first (cmd+c)... then after you perform the edit, right click on the new clip that includes the audio, and select "paste attributes" from the contextual menu that will show up... add the filter(s) back... or motion attributes if you've changed those).

Deleting Transitions without offsetting video clips

I just loaded up Final Cut Studio and in the older versions there is a way to delete transitions between clips without having the video clips shift to the left. How is this accomplished in the new program.
I working with a series of video clips put down to music. That is why I need the video clips to stay on there origanal spots
Thanks

As I read your post I wonder if you are working under a misunderstanding of how transitions work and are displayed. What was said above is true if you are removing a clip. Things do not move when removing a transition - this is why.
If you have two clips next to each other on the same video track and drop in a transition, the clips do not change position or timing. Lets say in this example the transition is centered, that is, the transition is using equal length handles from each clip. The transition is drawn showing the area or length of time that the overlap occurs using the handles available. At the center of length of the transition is the cut line even though you can not see it now.
When the transition is removed, It VISUALLY looks like the the the clip end point (the end of the clip in the timeline) moves, however, the cut remains where it has been the whole time.
If this isn't what you're asking - sorry for my misunderstanding.
good luck.

Photo Preview Blank + No Audio w/Video Clips

I "upgraded" recently to iMovie 08, only to learn that it was a terrible step back. So, I was happy to find that I could downgrade back to iM 06, which I did. However, I am faced with two issues:
1.) A significant portion of my iPhotos do not display. The preview panel is blank/all black. I researched this on the forums and learned that it was a bug related to having deleted the iMovie trash. problem is, I never did empty the trash, or even put anything into it. I'd appreciate any feedback on how to fix annoying glitch #1.
2.) my video clips imported, but when I play them, they have no audio. please help me fix annoying glitch #2.
TIA.
-Lance Uppercut

Hi
I use iLife'08 and iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4) needed up-grade Observanda !
You should upgrade iLife 08 support to 8.1.1
and run Program update.
If this isn't enough:
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
Many possible origins. Most common:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disc if it is less than 10Gb should raher have 25Gb
• Hard disc is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disc (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.3 - is OK
Yours Bengt W
Ps: Size of Your original photos can also matters. 500Mb photos can be a problem
keep them in a size close to 750 x 650 pixles. I store them in a folder on desktop
and import into iMovie from here. Ds

How to split audio from video clip

Title said it all.
Thanks

Command + L does nothing. Any other ideas? What I saw in a tutorial was that they selected a clip, then did some key sequence and it split out the audio track from the video. The audio then showed up as a green section right below the video track. They were doing this to delete the audio. They would split it, then select the audio track, then delete it. I realize I can drop the audio level, but this seemed like an interesting option.
Thanks
