Question

Speech cutout from video clips

Hello,

So I'm doing an educational video project using video clips which contain both background audio and speech.

I have added all the clips I needed in the assets, so when I double-click on a thumbnail to preview the clip, the speech is 100% audible, but when I go to add the clips to the timeline, all audio is audible perfectly, except speech is completely cutout. I haven't done anything that would remove them from my clips, so how is it doing this and how can I get the speech to work in my clips?

Thanks in advance

    If the speech is an mp3 file, try converting it to a wav file.

    Is the track that the speech is on muted?

    Have you tried increasing the volume level of that track?

    Can you post a screenshot of your timeline?

    I have played around with the mixer, nothing is on mute, volume levels are good, I have played with the levels.

    I have watched videos with people having this problem in the pro version to see if I could get ideas, but of course those options are not available in this version, does noone else have this problem?

    It's okay, I figured it all out, it seems like this program is touchy on audio codecs and doesn't like certain file types even though they are supported, all I did was simply convert my files; converting both video and audio parts of the file to something better and more "stable". My clips were in TS format and I wasn't too sure of the audio format of the file but this program doesn't like it.

    Thanks for the interest anyways
