Trying to use Imovie to create a movie using a Mac OSX 10.6.7, 3.2 g Intel core. Using clips from my Sony CRX 150 and need to remove sound in order to add music to the movie. HEELLLP!

OK, I 'm attempting my first movie here using this Mac OSX Snow Leopard with IMovie. I have clips I created from an 8mm Movie projector copied on my Sony CRX 150 and the sound of the projector is all over these clips and I have no idea how to remove that before adding music. So far this has been great and this is my first bump in the road. Also I notice tho, that the icon for my camcorder has disappeared from the desktop and looks like I'm gonna have trouble "ejecting" it in order to shut things down!!!  HELLLLP!

Thanks. I tested it out and you were correct. I loaded 2 .dv movies from my external HD back onto my internal HD, and got them re-imported into iMovie, took a few short clips from each of the 2 iMovie events and pasted them into a new project in the Project Browser. Then I deleted these 2  "source clips" from my internal HD, closed iMovie and then re-opened it and found that iMovie would NOT export the smaller clips for a "highlights" .4mv movie without the "source clips" being available.
I read your link on Quicktime. It talks about mostly trimming, which is what I did with each iMovie event before I took each one as a project to export as a smaller .4mv file. But if I use Quicktime (do I need QT Pro or basic), what advantage is it to me to use QT over iMovie (I must admit I am a novice at iMovie and have never used QT or QT Pro as a tool)? Will it then convert any edits I make to a .m4v movie or do I need iMovie to do that?
Does QT allow trimming multiple segments out of a movie during one edit session, or can you only do 1 at a time? By that I mean that, for example, when I use Sonys Picture Motion Browser for my .mts movies, you can only set one Start and one End point for each edit/trim you do: it does not allow you to set multiple Start Stop points like iMovie allows in its Event or Project browser. You can only do one "trim" at a time, save it and then reopen to do another trim. not very useful.

  • Itunes encounters an error and needs to close when I try to add music

    I just bought a brand new laptop and installed a fresh brand new itunes onto it, but every time I try to add my music, it encounters an error and closes. I uninstalled it, restarted the computer and reinstalled and everything, and it happens every time. I've been using WMP for the time being, but I need my music to be on itunes for my ipod and I just want to be able to use itunes!
    Help!

    BUMP
    Seriously, someone help!

    Vera,
    Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
    Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.

    I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

    My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately.  After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1).  I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project.  Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
    Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature.  Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
    AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

  • ITunes does nothing when I add music to the library. It just stares blankly back at me. How can a program suck this much?

    Title says it all. When my phone is connected, iTunes freezes when I have the audacity to click the file button. When my phone is unplugged, I add music to the library, either by folder, or by file, and nothing happens. I just updated to a new version this morning, I don't know why i ever agree to that, it's always a mistake. How can they keep making the program worse? I don't get it.

    If you put the music section of the library in songs view ordered by date added descending do you see any of the material you tried to add at the top of the list? Have you tried using the <Media Folder>\Automtically Add to iTunes folder to add media?
    As for the iPhone have you reviewed this support document, not withstanding that iTunes might display the device? TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
    Have you considered (or recently performed) a complete tear down and rebuild of iTunes? See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

  • How do i add music to the actual device instead of icloud.

    i dont have internet access all the time and would like to listen to my music without it.... but i cant seem to add music to the actual ipad instead of just streaming off of icloud

    You need to explain in a little more detail what you are doing. Your statement makes it sound like there is something else going on such as you are using iTunes Match. Is that correct? Or if you are trying to download songs in the cloud, once you fully download them to the device, they will reside on the device in the music app and there is no need for internet access.
    More details?

  • How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    icloud does not handle music, except for letting you download music you previously bought at the iTunes store.  For music, get it into iTunes on your PC, then connect your devices to the PC and using iTunes to sync it to them.  Not sure about Apple TV.  I think that might require buying a subscription to iTunes Match.

    You can add more images to your book, by dragging them from the browser to your book album. Switch to the Library Inspector, select the album or project with the images in the source list, and then drag these images onto the book icon. That will add them to the book album, and then double click the book album again to continue working with the book.

  • HT1535 my iphone is set to "manually manage music and videos" and it still does not allow me to add music from my other computers.

    I have followed the steps in order to manually manage the music on my 3GS iphone. (used the latest version of itunes and my iphone is up to date with iOS5) and it still is not allowing me to add music from another computer.
    when i plug it into the second computer, it is asking me to click "manually manage music and videos" again. when i do that, it says it is going to sync with this new library and erase all music that is already there. i dont want this to happen! i only want to add a few select songs from each library. I have waaayy to much to add and erase every time.
