Audio issue when importing movie to iMovie 10.0.05- audio track doubles, is out of sync & one is pitched down

Try exporting the Logic 10 X clip to your Mac desktop and then use the free download Handbrake to convert the clip to H.264, Mp4/AAC. Then import the converted clip into iMovie. It should work fine. You can get Handbrake here:

You can also try these diagnostic procedures to see one of them cures the issue:

Updating

iMovie

To update/redownload iMovie 10, drag your

iMovie 10 app from the Applications folder into the trash, but do not empty the

trash. (You can skip that step if you had iMovie 10 on your computer before,

but deleted it.) Sign in to the app store and open your purchases folder by

clicking on your name at the bottom of the app store side bar. You will see

your purchases displayed, including iMovie 10. Redownload/update iMovie from

there. If not successful, drag your present iMovie app out of the trash (if you

moved it there) and return it to the Applications folder.

Deleting

Preferences

Try opening 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.

New

Project

Another thing you can try is to copy your

media into a newly created project and see if that cures the problem. To do

that, do an Edit/Select All, Edit/Copy, of the media in your project and then

Edit/Paste it into the newly created project.

Safe

Mode

You could also try booting up in Safe

Mode (see Finder menu for instructions) and, after everything loads,

immediately shut down and reboot in normal mode. Then see if iMovie works

properly.

Resetting

the System Management Controller

Try resetting the System Management

I am not familiar with Logic 10, but perhaps you are using a codec, or frame rate, or resolution that is incompatible with iMovie. Or maybe this particular set of clips has a corruption problem. Did you make a change from your usual export settings? iMovie likes H.264, Mp4/AAC. That is why I suggested that you use Handbrake to convert the clip to H.264, Mp4/AAC. That should clear up any format and encoding glitches. After you download Handbrake open the app and do a File/Open Source. Navigate to your video clip and click on it to choose it as the source. Then do File/Start Converting. In a couple of minutes the clip will be converted. Import the converted clip into iMovie and see if it plays correctly.

To further isolate the issue, try exporting a video with iMovie that does not come from Logic 10. If it exports O.K. then the problem could be caused by the codecs used by Logic 10.

If still having the issue, try running through the diagnostic list that I gave you and see if you can get to the bottom of it.

I forgot to ask. What are the specs of your video? Resolution, frame rate, codec (format). .
