No sound after editing

Post by dchbbc »

I'm VERY new to this and will explain what I can. I'm using Video Studio 11 on Vista. I downloaded some music video clips from You Tube with Itube Downloader. It saved them in Movie Clip (.mpg) according to the properties. They play fine and they open in Video Studio and play, but the moment I make any adjustments such as I tried to lighten one with the brightness setting, the sound disappears. I thought maybe it was just gone for editing so I burned it and when I played it back on a dvd player there was no sound.
Is it the type of file I'm using or am I missing something? Again, not VERY new to this so I don't know a lot of technical stuff.

I don't know anything about iTube, and I don't know why Video Studio can't convert the audio... But, it's not uncommon for some files to cause trouble.... :evil:

If iTube allows you to save in different formats, try a different format. If it can make an AVI/DV fle, that format is generally foolproof. (Not all "AVI" files are DV.) Or, if it will allow you to select a different audio format, try experimenting with different audio options.


You can also try converting the file with SUPER (FREE!!!). There are two ways to use SUPER:

- You can convert the audio & video together, to DVD-compatible MPEG-2 video with AC3 audio (Dolby). If you do this, use one of the Video Studio project templates as a guide to the proper MPEG-2 settings.

- Or, you can extract the audio to a separate WAV file, and then feed that audio into your Video Studio project.

Yeah, it's the file... There are many audio/video file formats, and many variations of each format. Some variations cause trouble when you try to edit or convert them. The more compressed formats tend to cause the most trouble.

If you have trouble with files from your your video camera or video capture device, you can usually find a work-around or prcedure that works every time. But if you download files from the Net, you may run-across different format variations and different problems each time... And, YouTube actually tries to prevent downloading!

Split the sound

The first thing I would do is Right click on the video clip, select split audio if that works (you will know because there will be audio below the video clip)then select the video clip only and make your adjustments then share the project in what ever format you wish.
