Why is there no sound in my iMovie project

I have imported my video from my mini dv recorder after a long process of getting the proper cables, now that I have upload the video to iMovie there is sound in the preview of the raw footage but when I create a movie with clips from this footage there is no sound in the playback. What am I doing wrong?

Double-click on one of the clips. This will open the Inspector. Click on the Audio tab. Now check that the Volume slider is not set to the minimum position. If it is, drag the slider to the 100% position, or to your desired volume. Do the same for all other clips. If preferred, you can select all clips at once by choosing "Edit > Select All" from the menu. Now double-click on one of the highlighted clips and you can adjust the volume for all clips at once in the Inspector.
You can also adjust volume levels by dragging the volume line up or down in the blue audio bar below the clip thumbnails (where the waveforms are). To do this, you must have the audio waveforms button activated. It's at the bottom right of the project window, to the left of the thumbnails slider. It's coloured grey when inactive and blue when active.

  • Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in Home Directory? My Mail alerts, etc

    Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in my Home Directory? Since upgrading to Mountain Lion most of my sounds are not working, in my Mail alerts, etc.

    Did you put any sound files there? Because if you didn't, that will explain why it's empty.
    The ~/Library/Sounds folder is where any sound files that you add go, and they are only available to you as the "logged in" user (if you have other users with their own accounts, they each have their own ~/Library/Sounds folder). Apple doesn't put anything there.
    The sounds that come with Mac OS X will either be in the /Library/Sounds folder (which is the shared location for all users) or the /System/Library/Sounds folder (don't mess around with anything in the /System folder!).
    But I doubt your problem has anything to do with the sound files. Try deleting your sound preferences file, or even just clicking around in the Sound system preferences until they start working again (seriously - I had one Mac that had some audio problems after upgrading, and just turning things off and on a few times eventually worked. It seemed somehow tied to Dictation, so try twiddling those settings too).

  • Why is there no sound coming from my Ipod speaker?

    Why is there no sound coming from my ipod speaker?

    Do headphones work?
    Do you have volume set to max?
    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem then it is likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Geniu Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why is there no sound coming from my mac air book ?

    why is there no sound coming from my mac aribook?

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
    7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
    14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Why is there no sound recording when I capture Video in iMovie?

    Sometimes there is sound recording, sometimes there isn't. And I can no longer find the "choose microphone" field that lets me change from the internal mic to an external Yeti.  What's going on??
    There are no waveforms in the audio field under the video.  I've checked all the mute buttons and the connector cables. I've tried both the Yeti and the internal mic.  I'm wondering if something in my iMovie got changed when the last update came in. Also, I've been Skyping lately.  Did that affect anything?   Help!! 

    Contact iTunes store support
    This article clearly states you don't need a credit card
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301958
    +7. In the resulting screen, create your new iTunes Store account. You will have the option to enter credit card information; if you do not wish to do so, click the None button on the Payment screen.+
    If the "None" isn't there, it's a problem on their end!

  • Just bought FCP, there is no option import imovie project...help!

    This is my first contribution to these discussions.
    I just bought FCP.
    In my trial version there was an option under file>import>import imovie project
    But in the bought version there is no such thing.
    How is this possible? Can anybody help me, because I would like to import an imovie project.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Luis, thanks
    I guess I have to explain a little more.
    I got a new computer.
    Old computer was backed up via Time Machine.
    I was working on an imovie project in April and I would like to continue now, but this time finish it in Final Cut Pro.
    The Imovie project was created in version 9.0.8 and it seems impossible to open it in the newest version (10.0.2) that I also have installed. It doesn't even want to open in 9.0.9. The only way I can see it is by opening the oldest version of imovie.But the project has been changed somewhat and I cannot work on it anymore in this version.
    The changes are no problem, I can fix them, but how do I export it into the newer versions is a mystery to me.
    So...maybe you are able to give me some tips as how to open this project in the newest version?
    Because then maybe I can export it to FCP.
    Thanks

  • Why can't I export my longest iMovie Project in HD?

    I want to export an iMovie Project in HD, but my only options are small, medium and large. I created the project by using clips I filmed from my computer in an iMovie event. I was able to export in HD with the other smaller Projects that I didn't film and are just images. Please help and thank you in advance!

  • Why isn't the sound on my IMovie working?

    The actual clips have audio, but when I transfer them to Imovie, I can't hear them. Why?

    Maybe in your project properties you have the audio muted. When you hover over the clips in iMovie, does it show that the audio is enabled?

  • Why is there no sound since update?, Why is there no sound since update?

    Since updating to 6.1.3 on my ipad 2 3g i don,t get any sound on any of my games whether they are online or offline games! I have tried e native music app and the sound works on that. Have ied powering off and on also. Is there a way i can downgrade back to previous software version or is there something elsemi could try? Ta peeps.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Why is there no sound on YouTube on my 10.6.8 Mac Intel laptop when it works perfectly on my iPad with 7.0.6? I am not going to "up"grade either, as it would kill too much software I refuse to throw out.

    Is there any way to get Safari to give me sound on YouTube without buying a new computer?

    I had a similar problem trying to install Win7 x64 on my 2009 iMac. I finally copied the entire Boot Camp driver folder from the OS X installation DVD to Windows. Then I went to \drivers\bootcamp64.msi, right-clicked on it and selected Troubleshoot Compatibility. Windows chugged a bit and came up with a dialog that said Try Recommended Settings. Click on that, then Start Program. The Boot Camp installer now worked great.
    Give it a shot.

  • When on a call, why is there no sound alert for any incoming mail/message?

  • Why is there no sound for apps since updating to iOS6

    Since I updated my phone (4s)  to iOS6, there is no sound for apps like netflix, youtube, audio book, music or even for any of my games, but it works perfectly fine when I make/take a call.  I reset my phone and everything.  Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? 

    I've not had the problem, but basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    Try those steps in order until your problem is solved.

  • Why is there no sound?

    Yesterday, my iPad mini was making sounds. I turn it on today, and no keyboard clicks, no notification sounds, no music, nothing comes through. I'm worried if it's something bad. If I do have to reset/restart it, does it get rid of all my games, photos and conacts?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.
