How do I import an Amadeus Pro sound file into iMovie?

I am fairly new to the Imovie 08 program and have a few questions.
I've made the moveie and am in the process of editing out what I need and don't need. I have a sound file that I created in Amadeus pro that I need to use as the voice-over for the movie. I just can't figure out how to use that sound file over the movie. Can anyone help?
Thanks

The sound file must be in a supported audio codec like MP3, AAC, or several others.
Place the sound file in a drive and a folder where you can leave it while your video project is active. If you move it later by using the finder, iMovie will not know how to find it.
Now, drag the file into iMovie and drop it on the first clip where you want it to start playing.

  • How can I import or convert a .swf file into iMovie 8

    I've been searching with no luck for a way to convert a flash animation (.swf) file into a format that I can import into iMovie 8. Ideally, this would involve freeware or very inexpensive software. It is important that I maintain the quality (and audio) of the original swf file.
    Can anyone suggest a route?
    Many thanks.

    The easiest method is to use screen capture software to "record" the .swf file as it plays.
    Since .swf files use vector graphics you can scale it up in dimension (to fit your iMovie Project needs) without any loss in quality.
    I'm a happy user of SnapzProX http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ as it records in QuickTime formats.

    I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

    HI Dave,
    I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
    I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
    Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
    Does it contain a table?
    How large?
    Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
    Do those other tabs contain a table?
    Have you checked those tables for data content?
    There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
    I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.

    Barry

  • How do you import CSV, tab, and OFX files into multiple Numbers columns

    This Apple function from Numbers '08 Help "Importing a Document" does not seem to work:
    "You can create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a document created in Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks 6. Numbers can also import files in comma-separated value (CSV) format, tab-delimited format, and Open Financial Exchange (OFX) format."
    No amount of experimenting with Import, Export, Save As, Paste and Match Style, or using other applications will enable importing CSV, tab, or OFX files into multiple Numbers columns. Instead, all data is imported into a single Numbers column, which then has to be manually and tediously parsed one data element at a time into columns, one row, and one column at a time.

    Joe,
    They all have worked here. I'm not presently able to try in Numbers 08, but I know I've done them all.
    Just double-clicking a .csv file will open Numbers and display the data in a table. Dragging a .csv file to your Numbers icon on the Dock will open it as a Numbers table. Dragging it to a Sheet in an open Numbers document will make a new table in an existing document, and dragging to a table will insert the csv file into the table you dropped it into.
    CAUTION
    With Numbers '08, CSV files must use the comma as delimiter on every setting of decimal separator.
    Numbers '09 behave differently.
    With your tab-delimited file open in a word processor, copy it, then paste it into a table in an open Numbers document. When doing this, select a cell in the table, but don't double-click into the text field of the cell, then paste.
    Why use this long road when we may import directly Tab Separated Values file (tsv.txt) with Numbers '08 (or '09) ?

  • How to do import data from the text file into the mathscript window?

    Could anyone tell me how to do import data from text file into mathscript window for labview 8?
    MathScript Window openned, File, Load Data - it has options: custom pattern (*.mlv) or all files. 
    Thanks

    Hi Milan,
    Prior to loading data in Mathscript Window , you have to save the data from the Mathscript window (the default extension of the file is .mlv but you can choose any extension). This means that you cannot load data from a text file  that was not created using the Mathscript window.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.

    Hi,
    I have two machines (os is windows and database is oracle 10g) that are not connected to each other and both are having the same database schema but data is all different.
    Now on one machine, I want to take dump of all the tables into csv files. e.g. if my table name is test then the exported file is test.csv and if the table name is sample then csv file name is sample.csv and so on.
    Now I want to import the data from these csv files into the tables on second machine. if I've 50 such csv files, then data should be written to 50 tables.
    I am new to this. Could anyone please let me know how can I import data back into tables. i can't use sqlloader as I've to satisfy a few conditions while loading the data into tables. I am stuck and not able to proceed.
    Please let me know how can I do this.

  • How do I import an InDesign tagged text file into multiple pages and export as .ps or .pdf using Jav

    I have an InDesign tagged text file I've translated from .xml. I need to automate the following steps:
    1 - access specific InDesign template (eg. ABC_template.ind)
    2 - import tagged text file into InDesign
    3 - autoflow text to END of document (normally around 3-5 pages)
    4 - save document as either .ps or .pdf file
    5 - where the input file stub name matches the output stub name (eg., OrigName.txt outputs as OrigName.pdf).
    I would like to completely automate this whole process using JavaScript (because I don't know anyone that knows AppleScript). I've automated the first part using a perl script. I've been trying to find sample snipits of JavaScript that would do one or more of the items listed above, but am having a hard time finding what I need.
    Please, I'm desperate!! Can any of you InDesign scripting guru's out there help me??
    Thanks in advance!!

  • How can i import a dvd recorded on PC into imovie

    I recently moved from a PC to a mac. on my PC I recorded old video tapes onto DVD's. I now want to put these DVD into imovie so that it can be edited
    The DVD is registering on the desktop, but imovie doesn't let me import it. any help with this would be very welcome

    If it's a standard set-top playable DVD it needs to be ripped. You can use MPEG Streamclip to do but you will have to purchase MPEG-2 playback component from Apple. You convert the media to QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec.

  • How do I transpose Apple Soundtrack Pro multitrack files into Audition format?

    I've just hopped onto the creative cloud and now need to work on files created in Soundtrack Pro. The native SP format for multitrack files is proprietary. Can Audition parse these files?

    Audition cannot parse the soundtrack file. but.... I've also been trying to figure out how to bring a multi-track Soundtrack Pro project into Audition and at this point, there are two options:
    OPTION 1
    - Open the multi-track Soundtrack project.
    - Export as AAF
    - Import AAF into Premiere.
    - Export OMF
    - Import OMF in Audition.
    I think there may be an issue with projects with more then 2 tracks... (basically defeating the whole purpose). The project looking correct but the audio files are not linked properly.
    OPTION 2
    - Open the multi-track Soundtrack project.
    - Export as aiff or wav. Select "After Export: send files to Final Cut pro sequence"
    - FCP opens and asks to be saved. Save it.
    - Export FCP project as an XML File. (Apple XML interchange Format, version 4)
    - open Audition and import XML.
    Option 2 keeps the projects track structure intact. But it does 'bake' each track together.

  • How to I import MAX 4.6 config files into MAX 5.5? Missing Data Neighborhood. Strain gage set up is different.

    I have been trying to import my config file from MAX 4.6 into a new system running MAX 5.5 and daq 9.8.
    The data neighborhood does not appear, however my application sees the information. How can this be remedied? Start over?  I have a lot of inputs and would rather not have to recreate all of them.
    What is the difference between the strain gage settings in MAX 4.6 and MAX 5.5? The selection box for the bridge in 4.6 has a selection for "let niDAQ choose". Seems that is necessary to use the 4.6 config data. Try though I might, the readings in 5.5 do not match those in 4.6.     Is there a work around fo this? I don't want to have to perform an entire system calibration.
    Thanks
    Chris
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Attached JPG's.
    Here is more information regarding the MAX Strain Set Up.
    Attached are screen shots from MAX 4.6 and MAX 5.5. 
    Hardware:  PXI chassis with bridge to a PC.  SCXI-1520 input card.
    Software: Old system:  Windows XP SP2 running MAX 4.6 with niDAQmx 9.0.2,   programming in LabView 2011
                       New system: Windows 7 running MAX 5.5 with niDAQmx 9.8.  Programming in LabView 2013
    5.5:  What is the gage factor?  Is that the mv/v sensitivity of the load cell?
    5.5:  Asks for Gage resistance, easy to look up and I entered the data, 350.
    5.5:  How do I determine the Initial Voltage?
    5.5:  No choice of using V Excitation for scaling
    5.5:  Is Full Bridge I the same as 4.6 Full Bridge?
    5.5:  Requires use of Strain in scale factor
    4.6:  Requires use of Volts in scale factor (flags an error if I try Strain and requests Volts)
    4.6:  Choosing to use Vex for scaling makes readings look similar to 5.5 readings, but still not correct. ie around -79 in 5.5 and around -50 in 4.6 vs. 5.2 without.
    Is there a way to set MAX 5.5 so that it provides the same starin set  up function as 4.6? If so, what is it?
    Thanks,

  • Import a .srt or .sub file into QuickTime movie

    How do I import a .srt or .sub file into QuickTime movie (i.e. pre-made subtitles). I don't want to burn or create a new copy of this movie. I'd just like to view this movie (which is in Italian) with the *.srt subtitle file that came with it.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   QuickTime 7.1.6

    Thank you Dave, but unfortunately I've tried both of these. Well, I don't have QT-Pro, just the regular OEM version and incorporated the TitleLab components to my Library > QuickTime folder, but to no success.
    Do you think that this TitleLab software will work properly on OS X 10.4 and QuickTime 7? This product is designed to run on the following operating systems: Mac OS Classic, Mac OS X 10.1 & Mac OS X 10.2...
    So, the upgraded QuickTime 7 Pro doesn't have a native subtitling ability? That's unfortunate!
    I also tried the Perian "JackKnife" beta version. It doesn't quite work... It pretty much places the subtitles in brand new blank screens (not aligned with the film at all). I.e. The film will run, talking will occur, then the screen will go blank and the subtitles will appear at the top, then the subtitles will disappear (after the same duration as the film portion) and the film will resume... Essentially, it's messed up.
    Thanks. Maybe another suggestion?

  • Can i use pro res files in iMovie even though i don't have Final Cut Pro?

    Hello,
    I'm expecting some film footage to be delivered to me thats being delivered in a Pro Res format. Since my request to the company I've realised that it seems that I might not be able to import the Pro Res files into iMovie on my iMac if I don't have Final Cut Pro (FCP) installed. Is this correct? If so, is there a simple way I can import the format without having to go to the expense of buying FCP?
    Thanks
    Steven

    Hey Henmans,
    Thanks for the question. Apple ProRes is a format developed for high-quality, high-performance editing in Final Cut Pro X. To gain access to this codec, you’ll want to purchase Final Cut Pro X or a licensed third-party product:
    Apple ProRes Authorized Products - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/HT200321
    Additionally, you may want to learn about unauthorized codec implementations:
    In some instances, unauthorized codec implementations have been used in third-party software and hardware products. Using any unauthorized implementation (such as the FFmpeg and derivative implementations) may lead to decoding errors, performance degradation, incompatibility, and instability. If you're using or considering the purchase of a product that encodes or decodes ProRes but is not on the list below, please contact us at [email protected]

  • Import from DVDxDV created file into imovie HD with scene breaks

    I purchased the DVDxDV program and it is working fine importing files from my Sony mini-dvd handycam. When I import the movie file created by DVDxDV into imovie 08, the program seems to automatically create scene breaks (which I want it to do!) However, I would really prefer to use imovie. When I import the DVDxDV created movie file into imovie HD, it comes in as one big video file. I need many, little clips out of this one big file. Is there a way to either import it through DVDxDV with the original scene breaks? Or can I configure imovie HD to behave like imovie 08 and break this big file up? Any help is really appreciated.

    My guess is you'll see the same artifacts using other applications. I do recommend, however, MPEG Streamclip and Miraizon's Cinematize. Those let you select the portions of a video you want to convert so you save a lot of time and hard drive space.
    Also, recent versions of Toast (I don't know if this is true for Toast 7) can export individual chapters from a video DVD or VIDEO_TS folder as separate files. This is done via the Toast Media Browser. Put the VIDEO_TS folder on the desktop or insert the DVD, choose DVD with the top button of the Media Browser. When the item appears in the browser window use the button beneath "DVD" to access the chapter level. Select the chapters you want and drag them to the Video window with DVD video selected as the format. After Toast extracts the split MPEG files you can select them and export them to other formats. It's possible, though, that Toast 7 doesn't have the ability to access the chapter levels.
