Audio Clip Fades

I have a 6-second mp3 audio clip that I added to the audio that came with a 50-second mov video track, all of which I'm editing in Photoshop CS6. The last few seconds of the audio fade to quiet. I've double-checked its settings and there is no fade (0 sec) set for the audio clip. When played by itself, the audio clip is loud throughout.
Any idea why Photoshop fades the end of my audio clip when I play the psd video as well as when I render it?

We know nothing about your system, your render settings, what tool you use to view your clips/ listen to the audio and a gigazillion otehr things. For all we know, this could be some auto-fade in your player.

Why is there only one automated audio fader at head and none at tail of some audio clips?

When I select "Show audio animation," top left of an audio clip, on some sections I have two knobs... one at the head for fade in, and one at the tail for fade out. Why is there only one on some of the audio clips and not both? I've set up the clips the same, regarding audio animation, and some have faders at head, but not tail. How do I make another fader at the tail of a clip? Or why doesn't it automatically behave like the other audio clips that DO have two faders? I don't know what I'm doing to make them act differently.
Thanks,
Michael

Tom,
Thanks for reply. I'm attaching screen shots. For some reason my pointer didn't show up with a normal screen grab. Don't understand. Anyway, several versions are attached. There isn't one hidden on the right beyond the frame that pops out when I put my pointer there (or any tool). Strange.

How do you allow an audio clip to keep playing after a video clip fades out at the end of an iMovie? I want the audio clip to fade out later... this used to be easy in an older version of iMovie.

I just updated to iMovie 11. I want the final music to play beyond the last video clip and fade out. How do I do this? Do I need to import a black screen?

Yes, I've done this, but I can't figure out how to get the audio to fade. I think I need to explain further. This is really a simple movie made from multiple photo stills from my son's school. There are cross fade transition betwee the stills, and some titiles that cross fade too. So there is not actual video. Thus everything shows only in the project library, where I dragged in the photo stills to import them. There is nothing in the event (or is in the clip) window in the bottom. I can't figure out how to get the volume lines to show for the audio clip in the project library as they did in the old version of iMovie so I could drag them up or down.

Cutting / Splitting Audio Clips, plus taking Fade OFF of audio clips

Hi again all,
I wanted to know if it's possible to split audio clips in two in iMovie '08? I can't seem to find a way to do it, and I've been trying to edit audio in Amadeus and trying to import again, but it's getting too complicated.
Also--when two clips overlap, is it possible to take the Fade Off completely away, so that there is no fade at ALL? I tried playing with the ducking and fade sliders, but with no luck.
Thanks in advance!

Melissa,
to remove audio fade-in/fade-off from audio or video clip, select the clip, press A, toggle fade-in and fade-out to manual and drag both sliders to 0:00
Here I'm just guessing what the actual name of the controls are in the english version of iMovie '08, mine is localized in italian.
As per splitting an audio clip, I don't know how to do either.

Audio Cross Fade

Newbie with FCE so thanks in advance. I am trying to add an audio Cross Fade. Following Apple Pro Training book: Placed play head before edit point. Clicked on edit point on a1 track and point becomes highlighted on both audio tracks (and video track). Then chose Cross Fade (tried both). Problems: the Cross Fade icon does not appear on tracks. I also tried to drag and drop but if I do that the highlight disappears with no cross fade icon appearing. FYI when marking the highlight point the vid track also highlights unlike the photo in instruction book. Both audio tracks are unlocked as is vid track. I am on a MacBook Pro and have already done some experimental vids that have worked but have not worked with transitions yet.
Thanks again.
PS Hoping I won't have same problem with vid transitions

Open the clips into the viewer and check to see if you have handles to create the overlap for the transition.

Audible Click Between Audio Clips

Running PP 5.5. Editing an AVCHD project with seperately-recorded WAV audio files. Dropping the various audio clips of the various scenes into the timeline and I keep getting clicks between the audio clips upon playback and export. There are no empty frames between the clips, nor any overlapping clips. Even looping a single audio clip in Audition results in a click at the beginning of each clip. In either PP or Audition the clicks are only audible when playing normal speed. Scrub through the timeline with the arrow keys and the clicks are not present.
Ramping up/down the gain at the head/tail of the files still results in clicks between the clips. Doesn't matter if the clips are in the same track. It seems to be a file access issue and not an actual audio track sound, except that when I export the movie the clicks become part of the audio track of the exported movie. Except for these audio clicks everything is working perfectly.
I just upgraded from PP CS4. Opening up a copy of this project in PP CS4 and I have no audio clicks.
I'm stumped...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Audio is encoded in samples per second (e.g. 48000) and video is played back in frames per second (e.g. 24). There are significantly more audio samples than there are individual video frames and Premiere cuts to the nearest video frame, so there may be instances where the cut point occurs in the middle of a very short sound that you would have barely noticed in the full-length recording.
This is a problem I have experienced in all NLEs; it is not just limited to Premiere. The easiest way of solving it is to add a short cross-fade at the beginning of the audio clip.

Aim trying to put 2 audio clips together and you can hear the unnatural break. Is there a transition I can insert to cover it. Kind if like we do with video?

You could put the two clips on two different tracks with a slide overlap and fade the first clip out out and the second clip in.
Or trim both clips in a way, that the first clip ens with silence and the second clip starts with silence.

IMovie moving audio clips when transitions are added

iMovie moving audio clips when transitions are addedI have some video clips that need simple fades to black added at the end. However, whenever I add the fade out transition, iMovie does something insane. Instead of the last two seconds of video fading to black and the last two seconds of audio fading out, it seems that a random two seconds of audio from elsewhere in the clip is tacked onto the end and faded. This problem is nuts and I am having no luck finding a solution. Does anyone have one? This has happened with other transitions, but I’d settle for just getting a fade to black to work properly. Is this only a problem with Intel machines?

The problem that you describe has come up frequently on this forum. There are lots of things people have tried, but no solution has been found, other than the workaround of extracting the audio, as Klaus 1 mentions, and manually adjusting the fade out. Some feel that it is an intel machine problem, but that is not clear.
For more information on this issue, try using the search function of this forum, typing in "audio echo with transitions", or some other appropriate search words. You might find of interest the information contained in the following post:

How does one create a video cross dissolve without an audio cross fade in FCP-X??

Greetings:
This is a no brainer in 'legacy' Final Cut, but I am completely stumped in FCP-X. Situation is thus:
Main story line consists of a speaker. I would like to drop stills onto/into the storyline while the speaker continues uninterrupted. I've tried connecting to the storyline, overwriting to the storyline, creating a secondary storyline, creating transitions with available media, with full overlap -- all for naught. The outgoing bits of the cross dissolve have a weird audio hiccup that I cannot get rid of. I simply want to fade a still in and fade it out (I appreciate I could keyframe opacity with a still connected to the main storyline, but that seems slightly nuts -- this should be a keystroke). I am assuming I'm missing something -- possibly something really simple, so, apologies for being a dolt, but I could really use a hand here.
Many thanks
longstrider

Detach the audio using Control-Click. The audio will then have its own fade that you can adjust. If you want to cross fade audio clips just overlap another audio clip by placing it below the first audio clip. Overlap can be adjusted for the amount of time you want for a dissolve. You can also pull the fade control in the vertical middle of the end of each audio clip to make an audio fade in/out. Holding that fade control while pressing the Control key gives you the option to select different types of fade curves. Hope this helps.

Linking Audio Clips

I am trying to combine two different audio clips together so the music is "seamless" (no break in music)....right now I have the two audio clips on the same row underneath the video clips in the timeline...I do not see how to "link" these together? Right now the first clip ends and there is a few second break in the music before the 2nd audio clip starts.

Butt the two tracks against each other. Select the edit point and press Cmd-T to make a cross fade. Drag it out to make it longer.

When I have two audio clips next to eachother, how do i 'dissolve' them so its a smooth transition from one to the next?

I have a few clips besides eachother.. levels are up and down, but i want to do an 'audio dissolve' per se, or fade from one audio clip into the other.. to make it smooth.. how do i do this? thanks

One might think that you could simply drop a transition effect on to two connected audio clips to fade from one to the next. In fact, that's what the menu seems to imply:
But you can not. No transition effects can be attached to Connected Clips. The menu lies!
There are however several ways to do accomplish the transition.
You can overlap them and drag the fade gadgets like this:
Another way is to transform the audio clips to a secondary Storyline (command-g). This will allow you to use transitions.

Audio & Video fade

How do i fade the audio and video in, and then at the end of the entire clip fade the audio and video out??

And a prolonged one, not a cheap 1 second fade

Lock Audio Clip At Playhead Sometimes Behavior

Lock Audio Clip at Playhead seems to lock it to a point on the timeline. Sometimes. If I lock a clip and then delete an earlier clip, a short (less than 5 sec.) clip stays locked to the timeline even though the video clip it is related to moves. Long (more than 10 sec.) clips, OTOH, move with the related audio. So do clips related to transitions such as Fade Out and Scale Down. What I want to do is lock the audio clip to a specific video clip. And it would be best if that were a default. What to do?

Permissions fixed it.

How do I sync multiple audio clips to one video clip?

I have video (with stereo audio from a camera mic), and for each take, there are also four additional mono audio tracks that line up with it. It was footage shot outdoors in the city, so I guess the filmmakers just wanted to have as many options for sound mixing as possible given how much background noise there would be. I have tried selecting the video clip and the four audio clips at once and selecting "synchronize clips," but it doesn't work. It spits out a synchronized clip that seems to have converted two of the mono tracks into one stereo track... and then disregarded the remaining two mono tracks. It's a mess. It's likely someone else will fine tune the audio once I'm done cutting the video together... but I'd like to get all the audio tracks properly synced from the start. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.

How do you apply multiple songs or audio clips to one slideshow?

I created a large project, 200+ slides. I wanted to to use multiple songs so when one ends a new one comes on. Everytime a dragged a new audio clip from Itunes it just replaced the other song.

You have to make one "song' in iTunes that includes all the songs you want to play.
