Hello, when I import a video that originally has sound, the sound does not play in Capcut. I can add a separate audio track and that works fine, but I can't seem to use the original audio that is part of the video. I have checked that the track is not muted, and the volume is set where it should be. But when I preview play the project, there is no sound and if I export, there is also no sound. Please help!
When I edit in capcut the audio is synced perfectly with the video. But when I export (no matter in what quality 4K, 2K or 1080p) the audio is not synced anymore and is delayed.
I have been experiencing this issue for a while. I can't edit because the audio is delay which makes my edits off beat. I have to export just to check if it's on beat and honestly, it's very hard. Please fix this asap.
Hi,
Here is a breakdown of steps to take when in CapCut the original video's audio is not playing, even though you have checked the basics like mute and volume:
-
Unmute and adjust audio levels:
- The basic (which you have already tried): Ensure the audio track isn't muted and that the volume is appropriately set.
- In CapCut, right-click on the audio track in the timeline and select "Properties."
- Check the audio levels and adjust them as needed.
-
Check audio sample rate compatibility:
- Incompatible audio sample rates can cause playback issues.
- Right-click on your video/audio clip in the timeline and select "Properties."
- Note the audio sample rate of your clip.
- When exporting, ensure the export settings match the clip's audio sample rate.
-
Project settings check:
- Audio tracks disabled: Even if the track is not muted, there will be a master audio enable/disable setting for the whole project. Look for this in CapCut's settings or timeline area.
- Double-check all project-level audio settings to ensure nothing is accidentally disabled.
-
Hardware and system issues:
- Sound dDrivers: Although less common, outdated or corrupted sound drivers on your device could theoretically interfere.
- Solution:
- Restart your device: This often refreshes drivers.
- Update sound drivers: Check your device manufacturer's website for the latest sound drivers. Download and install the same.
- Watch this video on how to update sound drivers
-
Import process:
- Corrupted import: Sometimes the import process itself can go wrong.
- Solution:
- Try importing the video again: Sometimes a second attempt works.
- Import a different video: If other videos import with sound, it further points to an issue with the original video file.
-
Restart CapCut:
- Sometimes, restarting the application can resolve temporary glitches.
- Close CapCut completely and reopen it to see if the issue persists.
-
Update CapCut:
-
Check system audio settings:
- Verify that your device's audio settings are correctly configured.
- Ensure the correct output device (e.g., speakers or headphones) is selected.
-
Use headphones:
- Check if using headphones can resolve audio playback issues.
- Try connecting headphones to your device and see if the audio plays correctly.
-
Video file compatibility:
- Codecs: CapCut supports a wide range of video and audio codecs, but sometimes a specific codec within your video file might not be fully compatible. This is the most likely culprit.
- File format: While CapCut handles common formats like MP4, MOV, etc., there might be variations within these formats.
- Solution: Try converting your video to a more universally compatible format like MP4 with AAC audio using a video conversion tool (like HandBrake, VLC, or online converters). This often resolves codec issues.
- Watch this below video to see how to convert video to MP4
