I'm almost done with a video that uses a lot of different clips from different sources. All of a sudden many of clips are muted. If I stop and play the clip individually sometimes they work. Any advice?

Hi IrishRoo12,
Some more info is needed please. Thank you for the diagnostic file, excellent.

Please can you provide a screenshot of the project in the Edit Workspace - show the whole screen?
I'm looking for wave form, file active in the tracks, mute, shadow edit file use, files used - make up and format, effects & power tools applied and transitions type.

Full screen image resolution.

Best guess at the moment could be way off the mark since you have a varied response from your PC.

1. Your Ram is too low for editing in my opinion. Up it to 6 min and 8GB for better performance.
2. The 64mb Intel graphics card - that's the only card in your system. I couldn't see any Nvidia card/drivers. Is far too small for HD editing. Sharing your current Ram with the card is bound to cause display issues. Just my opinion, others may differ.

Hi IrishRoo12,
Thank you for the screenshot. Umm, I cant see the video file extensions.
1. You have no wave form in any of the videos (no audio), they're all flat lined.
2. Audio is checked
3. No PowerTools applied.
4. Video format - a guess - are vob files
5. Commercial video have security features to prevent replication/copying
6. Check MediaInfo for the video and look at the source audio data.
7. Convert the vob files to mpeg BEFORE bringing them into PD.

If you like to, please attach the MediaInfo.
a) Download the free software: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
b) Place the video in the program
c) Select Text and save the text file data.
d) Attach the text file to your reply.

My guess is the audio format just isn't recognised - might not be video vob files either.

I don't understand his issue either. I use VOB files that I have split all the time. The audio always shows flat line but it is still there. The only thing I can think is going on is his audio setup is not completely stable. Sometimes when I am using Audacity my audio set up keeps changing while I am using it....
