Hi all,
I have been editing an old video, and just noticed it had no sound, when I play the original in Elmedia video player, or QuickTime, the audio is present. I had the sound muted as I worked on it, so didn't notice until I'd done a fair bit!
Any tips or ideas as to how I can get it back, preferably didn't want to start over :0)
Thanks in advance
If the answer to Tom's question is yes - i.e., the clips play with sound in the browser - then probably you accidentally set "Source Media" to "Video Only". It is all too easy to do, as the shortcut is Shift-2.
If that is the case, then it is easy to fix if there is a small number of edits... otherwise it is a chore.
Basically, you'd first set "Source Media" to "All" - press Shift-1.
Then for each clip in the timeline: select, press Shift-F to reveal in browser, then drag the browser clip onto the one in the timeline and choose Replace.

Hi Tom, (Luis),
I have converted it to mp4 and started again, this has solved the issue, thanks both for your suggestions
Do the clips have sound in the browser? What exactly are the specs of the media?
Hi Tom, (Luis),
No, they don't. Source media is an import from DV tape and is M4V
When I have the Audio Meters on show, there is no activity, like it has no sound, but the original source has sound
Thanks both
Great. Thank you for reporting the solution.
Audio missing in FCPX
