Problems with audio after importing

fstopharmony wrote on 4/6/2011, 9:09 PM

I tried importing video directly from my DV cam using MAGIX and it said it could not establish a connection with my camera. So instead I used Microsoft Video Import (it was the other recommended option that my computer gave me) and imported a small clip off my miniDV tape that way as an avi format clip. When I import this clip into MAGIX the sound is extremely lagged and sounds like the person's voice has dropped 2 octaves. I don't know if this is something that normally happens duing playback in MAGIX or if I have to save the video file as a different file type but it certainly is frustrating.

I'm using a Dell Dimension E521 right now running Windows Vista Home (until I can buy a new iMac)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

Hi,

How do you capture video from your camera, do you use a firewire card and cable. After capturing in your software select the track on the timeline use Edit Ungroup to separate track sound from video track. Select the track sound and File Export Sound this open a windows and check the export format. Or simply export and use a sound editor to open and check properties.

May be you generate a low quality sound capture when you import.

When i import *.mp4 files that play cleanly outside of Magix, when i'm importing them the sound becomes corrupted?

@steve9

Please create a new topic giving the full name and version number of the program you are using, the topic you have posted in refers to a 12+ year old program, the software has moved on a great deal since then.
