in MEP2013 when i import a .mov file and play it the audio plays for about 2 seconds then hisses loudly

The first 2 seconds of sound is ok but as the movie plays on the audio turns into a loud hiss continuously. The video clip was taken on a fuji xp camera in full HD. The clip was imported onto my pc using the fuji finepix studio software supplied with the camera. I have imported and edited these clips in windows movie maker without any sound problems. Is there some program setting or camera setting I need to do to ensure these clips work in MEP.

Any suggestions?

cheers

Hi,

Would you do me a favor and separate the audio track from the video track in MEP 2013, right click on the audio, and select "create wave form".  Then post a screen shot of the time line.  Even better would be to upload a small segment of where the audio is correct and when it starts "hissing"  You can do that via youtube, or directly to this forum.

Thank you,

George

Hi George,

your question poses a challenge for me - surprisingly not to do with audio in MEP...

I have managed to separate the audio onto a separate track and ive created the wave form. However the 3rd part of your request escapes my limited know-how....how do i do a screenshot in MEP? I havent done a screen view in several years.

However from the display I can see the wave form peaks as you would expect, up until it starts hissing when the wave peaks go off the scale. if this helps.

in meantime how do you do that screenshot?

regards Amos

Hi Amos,

I use a product called TNT which is a free screen capture application.  You can get it here http://www.tntscreencapture.com/  just make sure that if it asks you to download any toolbars or anything like that you choose custom installation of un click the tool bar.  From your description of how the audio track looks I think that the audio is clipping at the point where the hiss comes in.  You could try splitting the audio track at that point and reducing the volume, but I am not confident that doing this will work.  For me a audio sample would be ideal as I could then run it through my audio processors and try to determine exactly what the problem is.

ps I can filter out the "hiss" and see what is left behind if anything.

Hi

Is Quicktime installed on your computer and is it the latest version? If not you need to install it.

. . . . I have imported and edited these clips in windows movie maker . . .

AFAIK WMM does not share the codecs it downloads (same with Windows Media Player)

Hi Thanks for all the feedback. I checked quicktime ind its up to date.

I managed to solve the problem by updating my version of Movie Edit pro 2013. It seems the shop bought disk copy of the program was an earlier release. The compatibility issue was resolved on a later revision. I downloaded the latest update and everything worked perfectly.

Thanks for your help.
