My Imovie is not playing any of the recently added audio.

Hi Lailareu,

If you are still having issues with the audio on your iMovie project, you may want to take a look at the following article:

Apple Support: iMovie is missing audio on import, export, or playback

Hi

My old note on this:

No Audio

Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.

Work around -

• Select needed audio to one new playlist

• Copy out this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)

• Use this in the movie-project

Other origins are

1. strange / alient file formats as -

• .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc

• Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this

2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -

• Close iMovie and other programs

• Start GarageBand

• Make a new GB-project and play some notes

• Close GB and Save

• Now try iMovie again

3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.

a. in iMovie pref. - deselect ” Playback via Camera”

b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this

without me knowing why.

4. iMovie’08 & 09 & 11

• Toggle audio-scimming by cmd-K

Stuttering audio and video

1. FileVault is ON - Turn it off

2. More than 50 audio files in a movie-project

Mix down to one audio clip

3. Project is stored on one (USB) external hard disk - should be a FireWire one

4. the External hard disk is not Mac OS Extended formatted - but

UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange and this will not work for Video.

5. To little free space on internal boot hard disk.

I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space when project is imported and edited and this goes for

4x3 SD Video. For 16x9 HD my guess would be about 5 times more at least.

Neither Mac OS, iMovie or iDVD can address any other hard disk than the boot drive for it’s

scratch files. (Unlike Final Cut Express/Pro where You select scratch disk/s)

6. Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
