Magix have to pay you for your fast consultancy :) I m really thankful.</p> <p>According to your advice, I reinstalled MEP. Nope, same problem exists. Yes this problem just comes with my camera's files. I did a small experiment. Chose one of those broken-sound video and open it in windows movie maker. Without doing any edition saved this video as a high quality video. And imported it in MEP again. It worked, I could see all the audio waves and hear the sound but with some quality loss.</p> <p>I guess I m having troubles of codecs as you said before. But with little knowledge of this kind of computer's codecs stuff, I m still away from the solution. Let me reply your questions about my camera:</p> <p>When I import from the camera... No I don't get any dropped frames..</p> <p>I transfer the videos from the sd card of the camera.  Each video comes as 2 files. One is regular movie file, other is THM file (I don't know what it refers to) The format of video is AVI. But audio comes as DCM format. Does it help? My camera is canon power shot sd 900.</p> <p>It looks like I need a good converter program now. Do you know any free software? I m shooting my movie as a high resolution-the highest resololution I can get  (1024x768 / 88 kbps 8 bit) So don' t want to loose anything on converting process.</p> <p>Thanks a lot, Best wishes!</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-movie-edit-pro-12/page/3#post-40014 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:02:22 +0000 Aspyrider 40014@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Ok, the problem only exists with your canon camera, all other files are ok. You get a few seconds of sound then it trails off. I'm no technician but this sounds like one of two problems. First would be a codec issue, you may need a codec that is compatible with your camera or you have a corrupt file (codec) that isn't working with the camera. The second would be a capture issue. How do you capture video/audio from the camera? Firewire?</p> <p>Have you tried reinstalling MEP12? That would be my next move, reinstall the program and let it put all the files back on your pc. Then try it again. If the problem persists, contact MAGIX tech support. (www.magix.com)</p> <p>But it sounds like Magix is working ok, this might be an issue with the camera. I don't think it's a compatibility issue as MEP works well with all cameras (firewire). However there may be something happening when in import.</p> <p>Do a reinstall and see if that clears it up.</p> <p>Also...when you import from the camera do you get any dropped frames? This may indicate the hard drive is not keeping up with the data flow of the camera.</p> <p> ~</p> <p>If you are not importing from firewire, are you taking files directly from the camera? If so, what format is the camera files? .asf? .mov? .avi? If this is the case you may need to convert the files first before using them in MEP...Canon could be using some propriety codec MEP doesn't understand.   (Back when I ran MEP12 I had a AIPTEK camera that I had to convert the files, they had some funky .asf codec)</p> <p>Post here your results.</p> <p>J. ;-)</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-movie-edit-pro-12/page/2#post-40007 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 23:10:20 +0000 sharquteri 40007@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello Aspyrider and other members. I have just started to use MEP 12 e. After long windows movie maker experiences now I feel very free... MEP 12 offers me huge variety of edition ideas. But I m suffering of some audio playback problems. MEP just plays the first second of the chosen video file (image is ok, I m talking about the sound of that vid.) and suddenly gets quite till the end of that file. This happens on just the videos taken by my canon camera. When I import an edited movie (such as exported windows movie maker project) to time line I could able to hear all the audio without any cut. I believe this is something related to the settings but can not figured out yet. When I put the audio as wave form I see the waves just in the beginning, rest is fully red in color.</p> <p>I have tried all the topics you gave on this subject.</p> <blockquote> <p>Ã? <em>"Lets start with the basics. Can you open the video file in Windows media player or some other player to confirm there is audio in the file? If audio is there then look on the timeline where you have your file and see if the Mute button on the left is active.Ã?  On the line the audio is on you'll see Track and below Track you'll see "S" &amp; "M, the "M" is the mute button. Also, if you render a file and play that file outside of MEP, can you hear the sound? Plus check this: Go to FILE then PROGRAM SETTINGS. Then click the tab at the top that says Playback. Make sure a audio driver and device is loaded. Then click on the Video/Audio tab and make sure there is a check next to Extract sound from videos. You can also go to the System tab on that same menu and select Automatic preview in the media pool, Audio &amp; Video files. This will make it play the audio if you preview a clip. Try the above and let us know if that helps. ;-) J. "</em></p> </blockquote> <p>I m sure this footage has sound on. Mute function is not actived. If I export this half sounded video as any kind of movie file the problem exists. Playback settings are ok! Audio driver and device ok! I m sure program extracts sound from videos. System tab settings are ok...</p> <p>But I still can not understand why I can not here and edit complete sounds of my videos.</p> <p>I will be more than glad If you reply me. Thanks a lot!

I have updated all of my codecs and drivers and still I get the same problem, it is only like this in MEP 12. Is there a fix or a way to make it work. I have used the audio cleaning and while I like that option it comes out a little muffled due to haveing to crank the options up full to get rid of the hiss.
