Export to PDX10P fades sound out... at DVinfo.net

Hello everyone,
In iMovie I have done a "Paste Over at Playhead" which means I took footage from a 2nd Hi 8 camera and pasted it over footage of a first camera (The PDX10). In iMovie this extracts and keeps the audio from the first camera and places it in sound track #one right below the video track. In iMovie all plays well except for a slight "tick" when it plays over this spot. However when I export the footage to the PDX10 the sound fades out then back in right at the extracted spot and then shows up in the burned iDVD very noticeably. Anybody know a work around or why the camera is handling it this way?
thanks,
Al

On the time line strip for audio where you do the paste over at playhead, have you checked the'fade in' or the 'fade out' cehck boxes?

In imovie 3 you can get to see the absolute level of the audio on each audio track.

Try hooking up a different camera of a monitor to see if it is the PdX10 that is the problem (I suspect not)

Regards

Thanks Patrick.... I never discovered a fix but I found a good work around for future times I do a paste over. Make a copy of the clip I am pasting into and extract the audio from this clip entirely to use and paste it below. Better than having several pasteovers that the program must negotiate.
