Is it possible to attach a sound effect to a photo?

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to attach an audio file sound effect to a photo i have in iphoto or any other application so that the file would play the sound when the photo is opened to view?
Thanks Conor

Conor
Not with iPhoto, no.
You could make a slideshow in iMovie and attach the sound using that.

  • Possible to copy the sound effects off the phone?

    I love the 'robot' sound effect on the iphone which I use for text message alerts. Is it possible to copy/send this sound file off the phone as I'd like to use it on my Mac too?

    Benjamin Frain,
    I couldn't locate one similar to Robot, but there are ones similar to SciFi ( Sci Fi Sweep ) and Old Phone (Old Telephone Ringing) in the iMovie '08 Sound Effects or iLife Jingles. I haven't looked extensively, there may be other similarities.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Attach a sound clip to a photo?

    With my Canon S3 IS I can attach a sound memo to an image. For example, I have photographed songbirds and sea lions and recorded the sounds they made in hopes of displaying the pictures and playing the sound at the same time. I cannot see a way to do this in iPhoto 09.
    Suggestions?

    Unless you made a movie iPhoto will not play sound with a photo
    I do not have a canon - maybe the software that came with the camera will handle that

  • (My post isn't showing up?) Sound effect muffles/is louder than the other audio layers

    I want to point out that the last time I posted this, the discussion was completely blank. This is a repost and hopefully it won't be blank this time
    In my most recent short movie, I decided that I would focus a lot more on sound than I normally do, so bought a microphone, a recorder and a boom pole etc. I also decided to implement more sound effects (Bear in mind that I'm 16, not a professional).
    Here's the video -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGkrFVZ0e5I (I think embedding the video was causing problems with posting)
    Note that at about 0:10 seconds in, you can hear an alarm ringing, but also a sort of 'thump' sound (It's actually the sound of a vault opening/closing). You couldn't hear it normally, so I turned the bass up on it to 17dB. When playing it back in the timeline, it sounds perfectly fine, but when I export the video, much like the attached one, it's muffled and you can't hear the alarm or anything else.
    Unfortunately I didn't have time to try and fix it, also that scene takes a while to export so I couldn't quite do any trial and error.
    Now however, I'm going to enter the video into a small competition, so I thought I'd try and fix it...because it does sound terrible/unprofessional.
    Any suggestions? Remember, it sounds perfect (In my opinion) when playing it back in the timeline. I'm using Premiere Pro CS5.5 on an 11,2 (October 2010) iMac running Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it's also being exported to a G-Drive FireWire 800 hard drive, not a RAID, perhaps that could be a problem?

    "One thing which is realistically within your reach at this time and could really help you on future projects is if you can come up with some sort of beginning, middle and end"
    That's one of the problems, people kept saying "Oh, this line's too long..." and shortnening it, and like Jim said "If you can't fire people, you're at their mercy" so I can't exactly deduct pay or anything...because they're not being paid
    They even started saying "Woah! We've completely changed the script! hahaha!". Just shows how little they actually cared. And the script really was changed, I would send you the script but I don't want to veer too far from the topic
    "You may need to find some way to compensate them for their time though"
    I was going to bring a box of Coca Cola, but I thought it would be a bit hard to carry around...and I was kind of glad I didn't because I don't feel they quite deserved it and they were already a bit hyper. Maybe it would have gone better if I did bring the Coke, but I'll definitely order some pizza next time.
    "Just software."
    Great software that is! I don't know where I'd be without the student discount.
    Anyway let's get back to the question.
    I glanced at this a bit - http://www.uaudio.com/blog/understanding-audio-phase/
    And tried using the original MP3. It still didn't sound good.
    I then tried exporting the sound on its own, with the bass, then imported it, but it still didn't sound as good.
    I asked my friend (Who happens to also have the surname 'Curtis') and he said "just sounds to me like you have it so loud that it's clipping" and suggested that I "multitrack" it, basically layer several of them on top of each other, but that didn't work either.
    He decided to add the bass in and fix the 'clipping'. It sounded good, but once imported, you could barely hear it, so I thought I'd try putting the bass up to 17dB like before...had the same problem. It seems to only sound nice/fitting with the 17dB bass...am I just going to have to turn it down and live with it?

  • How to replace background music but retain sound effects

    I am trying to add/replace the background music of a series of clips that all have sound effects.  I noticed that many of the sound effects carry over into the other channels.  I am using the 5.1 preset currently.  Ideally I would like to add a song to this series where the music and sound effects can heard appropriately from all channels.
    Is this possible in FCP?  Do I need to use Soundtrack instead?

    That isn't SPLIT track...that is a 5.1 mix. There's a difference.  The audio is mixed, and elements are in all the tracks, but less in some and more in others. 
    SPLIT TRACK is something that we do on the high end deliverable stage, so that other departments that use what we deliver can use only the audio elements they need.  PROMOS for example (that I also cut), would like to have DIALOG separate, SFX separate and music separate.  So we can use our own music.  We would like clean dialog and SFX.  If we are given a 5.1 mix, we cannot use it, as it is not split tracked.
    Your source is a fully mixed project...the audio files are not separate. music, effects and dialog are all mixed...you cannot separate them.  Not unless you request a split track master from the company that produced the spot you are using.

  • Sound effects During a transition

    Is there a way to play sound DURING a transition from one slide to the next? e.g. I would like to use the Shutter transition and play a camera shutter sound effect while you see the shutter close and open. Another example would be a bang during a Fall transition, as if it hit the floor. I currently have a large library of effects I can use.

    Greetings and welcome to the forum.
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but what you want to do - while an excellent idea - is not possible with the current version of Keynote. You might want to address this to the Keynote Feedback Forum as an "enhancement request."

  • Volume change sound effect won't stop

    So I changed my preferences and unticked the "Play feedback when volume is changed" option. Basically all is good for a while then a week or two later I'll realise the sound effect is back when I change the volume. But the option remains unticked in preferences.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Simple, the device even if off can pick up signal noise from any other device or items. Stereo speakers have in the past gave off a whirl sound from radio stations, police and cb radios, high frequency pick up is not unheard of. There are cases where radio receivers have picked up cross talk while off.
    With computers broadcasting on the 2.4 and 5.0 frequency many times microvave ovens, other electrical items can cause the sound the original poster complains about. (Chirping) Cell phones are just radio transmitting and receiving devices.
    You don't need a 500 foot antenna to pick up sounds. Even if the phone is off it has an internal antenna.
    interference is quite possible, and frankly there are not many people posting about radio chirping to believe its nothing but interference .

  • Is it possible to make GLaDOS like effect?

    Hi there
    I must admit, that I never use Audition. It comes with the bundle, and I thtough, I would give it a go for a change.
    Would any of you happen to know, if it's possible to modify my sound files to make them sound like GLaDOS from Portal?
    I genereate my voice files using Mac's text-to-speach feature.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.
    regards
    Mona

    I must admit that I had to Google GLaDOS to hear an example--I'd never hear of her before your post.
    However, having had a listen, I'd have to say that at least half the effect is the actress speaking in an artificial sounding mechanical rhythm.  You'd think that this would make the text-to-speech idea--but, in fact, Apple are doing their best to make that sound real, NOT artificial.  This, plus the lack of control you'll have (you can't direct a Mac like you can an actress) makes the success of your project luck of the draw.
    As MusicConductor says, the electronic part of the effect sounds like it's done with some form of pitch corrector...Autotune or similar.  Audition has a built in pitch corrector but whether it'll give the same sound...and whether the sound will work without an actress speaking in the proper cadence...will be a matter of experimenting.

  • Minor AIFF Sound Effect

    I realize this is a minor problem but I have an Sound effect in iMovie 6.0.3 , along with many others, and it will not burn in my iDVD project. Not to a DVD or Disc Image, nothing.
    I remove it from iMovie and it will burn in iDVD. I realize this is the solution to burn it but would like this sound effect in if possible. As I said , I have much music and other sound effects in this movie but this one is giving me trouble. I was looking for suggestions that I could try from any of you.
    Thanks

    You can use WireTap Pro to record the sound effect, creating an AIFC file. Name it whatever you wish, save it to your desktop, and drag/drop it directly into iMovie's audio track. You can put it into iTunes so it will be available whenever you want.
    WireTap Pro is a neat little app that records anything that will produce sound in your computer. I use it a lot to make audio clips of part of a song, or to copy the audio of one of my video clips that I replace with still photo. It is much faster than extracting audio from a short clip. I also use it when iMovie won't play a purchased tune instead of burning to cd and reimporting. WireTap can be run while iMovie is open. It also can be used to drag/drop an audio file into iDVD.

  • Is it possible to attach a bluetooth speaker to my mac and still use the mac's speakers at the same time?

    Is it possible to attach a bluetooth speaker to my mac and still use the mac's speakers at the same time, so I can have music in two rooms (from the mac in the lounge and the  bluetooth speaker in the kitchen? It seems to be a choice of either/or as when I pair my speaker the sound stops from the mac's speakers. 

    No.

  • Copy right on sound effects in iMovie

    I just got a strange email from youtube. They claim a movie clip of mine contains material which possibly is the property of "GoDigital MG For a Third Party".
    I only used sound effects and music from imovie. Isn't this material free to use and publish in my movie clips?
    Does anybody know more about this? I cannot find any indication of the copy right inside imovie.
    It also states that I don't have to do anything, my clip is still available world wide but they could advertise on my page.
    Thanks for any help in advance. If this meant trouble I would remove the clip. Its only a holiday film. Or I would move to Vimeo.
    Cheers

  • No Sound Effects Control on iPad 2?

    Working with a teacher this morning who has no sound effect controls on her iPad2 (iOS 6.1.3). She stated that she has already completed restart and full reset with the same results. I have looked through all volume controls, all settings, etc.
    Pecuilar thing is that if I want to test out ringers and sounds, such as default marimba and strum sounds, they work fine, but have no control over their volume as well. Volume controls in Music is also missing.
    Pics attached to see screen. Thanks in advance!

    1. Double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar (at bottom) to the right. Check volume and mute settings.
    2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

  • Putting extra sounds in the sound effects panel

    Hi,
    I just talked my older brother into buying a Mac. He has not owned a Mac in many years and he asked me an odd question. He says that he used to be able to add custom sound effects for alerts. For example he wants to be able to select his custom sound within the Apple Menu/System Preferences/ Sounds/ Sound Effects and select sounds that he moves into this folder.
    Is this possible? Where are these sounds stored? Is there a certain type of format (.aiff/.wav/.mp3) that is recommended?

    The sound should be an aiff.
    If you want your custom sound to be available to all users, add it to /System/Library/Sounds (you'll need admin privileges). If you just want it for yourself, put it in ~/Library/Sounds.

  • How do I adjust the sound effects?

    Hello all,
    I've inserted a sound effect (typewriting) in my slideshow and I'd like to lengthen the duration to match the duration of the title (it's letters typing across the screen).
    When I move the cursor to the end of the typewriting sound effect and try to drag it to lengthen it... it doesn't move.
    Are the sound effect clips fixed? Can I not lengthen them to match the duration of the visual clip (title)?
    Any helps is appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Ted

    Depending on the type of music, it is often possible to patch in a small segment of a copy of the song - use copy and paste method. The 'patch' can be trimmed accurately to fit the beat. More difficult perhaps with singing than with instrumental tracks.

  • Using various parts of the same sound effect

    Hi,
    I am an intermediate flash user who has never really had any
    experience using sounds in my movies. Now i want to be able to use
    an mp3 (the james bond theme) in one of my movies. What i ideally
    want to be able to do is to use the one mp3 but have various scenes
    play only specific parts of the mp3. Can this be done. Every time i
    have tried to attach the sound to one of my layers it would only
    play from the beginning of the mp3. Is it possible to make the mp3
    play from specific points or will it always play from the beginning
    of the track?
    Many thanks in advance for any help.
    Rob Flook

    Flash's sound editing capabilities are very bare bones. There
    is a way but it isn't convenient or easy.
    Add your sound to your new scene and each time you will need
    to select the sound and in Properties
    Panel click EDIT - then you can use the sound editing panel
    to drag the marker in between the 2
    waveforms (it's hard to notice) and slide it horizontally to
    where you want the sound to start from
    - it's a blind process but you can click the play button to
    hear where you are in the sound file.
    urami is right - a dedicated audio editng tool is best for
    this - then import into flash as separate
    WAV files - easier to manage.
