When I import an mp3 into PD10, it comes in but is blank with no audio. Had no problem with this until now. Frustrating! Any help? mtd123

Can you play that MP3 in Windows Media player or other audio software?

Have you tried opening that MP3 in WaveEditor?

Are you sure the MP3 has audio?

What about the volume level?

Can you do a save as in WaveEditor?

If so, that may correct whatever may be wrong with the MP3 for Powerdirector.

I tried that. Saved as clip (mp3) and still nothing when imported. Saved as project (wve) and cant import. Does not recognize wve when trying to import. mtd123

wve is a project file for WaveEditor.

If you saved track as WAV it might work.

Gunkokuma, you might try inserting the audio on the music tracks which(generally) accept MP3 audio.

I think I ought to clarify my last remark here.. I'm assuming you're adding a music mix to your clip. if so you might've tried to insert it on the narration track(which has a 'speaker' icon). In some, but not all cases, the narration track may not recognise MP3, but the music track(1 only in PD7, 3 or more in PD8 and upwards) will, or should accept MP3. If, like me, you might prepare a narration track for your video, if the narration track won't accept MP3, then have a WAV file version of your narration ready, "just in case!". Or put your narration track(MP3) on one of the music tracks(PD8 and upwards).
Cheers!
