Hello,
I recorded a few video clips on my iPhone and airdropped them to my MAC as I usually do. I've exported the clips to iMovie and there is no audio. I double checked the original clips on my iPhone as well as QuickTime Player on my MAC and audio is present - but seem to disappear in iMovie. Anyone experienced this an or have a solution to share? Thanks.
I went ahead and reached out to the Apple support for further assistance. Here's the link:
What worked:
It appeared airdropping the files may have been the culprit not sure how since I've used this method countless times without fail. We connected my phone to my MAC via the USB and imported the clips thru photos in the iMovie screen and that seems to work. Hope this helps - should you encounter the same issue.

Hi,
First, make sure that you audio is not muted in iMovie. To check, select your video clip in the timeline of a project and click on the little loudspeaker icon in the toolbar at the upper right of your screen. See if the volume is set to zero. If so, use the little slider button to raise the volume. Look to see if the little loudspeaker symbol next to the "Auto" box has a red line through it. If so, click the loudspeaker symbol to get rid of the red line.
Another thing that you can try is to open iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Now see if you have audio in your imported clip.

Ah. The good ol' USB. Still the most reliable.
Interesting about the audio missing when exporting with Air Drop. I, too, have used Air Drop many times with no issues. Who would have thought.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the tips. I've checked the volume is not muted and I also reset the preferences per your instructions and the issue still persists. :(
It's baffling and irritating.
To be sure.
