Audio from one clip overlayed on another?

OK, I hope I can explain what I am trying to do in a way that is comprehensible to anyone but me
In the middle of a clip, I want the video to cut to a second clip but the audio from the first clip to keep playing, overlayed over the second clip, then have the video cut back to the original clip. I am doing a short review of a digital camera and in the original clip I am talking about the size of the camera and for about 5 seconds or so I want the video to transition to a second clip (while still playing the audio from the first,) that shows a closeup shot of the camera, then transition back to the original clip.
Does that make sense?
Thanks
Todd

Hi Todd:
Not really that difficult to do!
Extract your audio from
I want the video to cut to a second clip but the audio from the first clip to keep playing
Split your video where you want to put the second clip.
Split the audio at the same point.
Lock the 2 newly split audio to the 2 newly split clips.
Drop and drag the video you want to insert at the split point.
Now you have:
First part of split video with first part of split audio locked
Newly inserted clip (extract any audio that is associated with that clip and delete it.)
Second half of split video with audio locked.
Now you need to movie the audio
i back
to the inserted clip. So you need to un-lock the audio and slide it back to the point where you split it.
Adjust the lengths of the clips before doing any of this and do not forget to svae, save, save along the way.
Clear as mud?
Hope not-Sue

  • How can i leave audio from one clip playing, while showing another one in i

    i am editing a movie, using iMovie 08, and want to use sound for a clip in the video for the end credits. how can i do this?
    just to be clear, i am not trying to add audio. i am trying to leave the audio from ONE CLIP playing, while viewing a new frame. thanks.

    This is simple in iMovie 11 (drag and drop), but in iMovie 08, you can still do it.

  • Suggestions for blending audio from one clip to next?

    I'm learning editing and PP and am practicing by editing different clips from a movie to make my own trailer. The problem I'm having is that going from one clip to another has obvious and abrupt changes. I could add audio transitions to each clip, though for a 2.5 minute trailer I'm not sure if fading audio up and down constantly is the best choice? What is the best way to blend the audio from one clip to the next?
    Thanks.

    You can create a crossfade (essentially an
    audio dissolve) from one audio clip to another.
    With the audio track(s) targeted, park the Playhead at the
    audio cut and hit Ctrl+Shift+D (or drag from the effect panel):
    You need to be sure you have sufficient 'handles'
    on both clips to accommodate the crossfade.

  • Can one copy Audio from one clip minus its video...to paste to another?

    I'm working on a painting video...as an artist/teacher...and easily created a 3 minute trailer on YouTube using iMovie...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LXWxjjGkAg
    I have Final Cut Express 3.5.1 on my intel...and thought I'd best use this higher standard software for the making of my 90 minute DVD...but dang, its coming hard for me. Trying to make sense of the help manual. With iMovie it was nothing to copy an audio track, copy and paste elsewhere...but with FCE I can't seem to separate the audio of the track from one clip to copy and paste elsewhere without that video clip wanting to come along.
    The original clip is me painting by a waterfalls..the original narrative voicing was weak, so I did a voice over with a mic and toneport tonight, now I want to paste in the sound of the falls behind copied from a clip where I did no speaking.
    I have Soundtrack as well. Am I better off just putting my video clips together in FCE...then importing the whole thing to Soundtrack to edio audio? Seems audio with FCE is tough...well, for me anyway. Thanks

    Hi -
    In FCE, select the clip on the timeline that has the audio and video stuck together. Go to the menu Edit and toggle Linked Selection (the check mark will go away).
    Now you should be able to copy and paste one without the other.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I put the audio from one clip over the video of another clip?

    So I have two videos, and I want to replace the audio of the first with the audio of the second. Sorry, I'm new to 08 and have been trying to suss this out for ages so I'd really appreciate any advice you guys can give.

    This thread seems to be on the same subject and is very helpful.

    The Working with Audio clip also included the solution for extracting the audio from a clip at the very end of the video. Having to know the secret handshake of shift-command and dragging is really not intuitive, but such is progress....

  • Audio from one event posting to another video?

    I'd like to use audio from one event and use it for the audio of another movie. I've done it before, but simply can't find the info or remember just how I did it last time. Does anyone know how to do this?

    ooooh, I figured it out! Sorry for the posting.

  • Audio from one clip plays in preview, not on burned DVD

    Have just completed burning a DVD of a 23-minute movie. Everything works fine except that the audio associated with one clip in the movie is almost non-existent. If I turn up the volume when playing the burned DVD through my DVD player/television, the sound can be heard, but barely. The audio from that portion of the movie plays normally while previewing and editing in Premiere Pro, it plays fine as a WAV file in Encore, and it plays fine in Windows Media Player. However, various attempt to burn that segment onto DVD, either alone or as part of the assembled movie, produce almost no sound. Again, the audio for the entire movie is perfect when played in Premiere Pro or Encore; the audio is also perfect on the burned DVD except for the one troublesome clip, in which the audio is so faint that it can't really be heard.

    Dan,
    Can't thank you enough for taking the time to hazard a guess about my problem.
    I'm a real newbie with regard to video editing, so not conversant with much of the language, but all of the movie's clips were recorded in 16-bit stereo and the resulting DVD was played back through my television, which is a widescreen playing through its own speakers. I think the pertinent information, however, is that everything in the movie plays perfectly with the exception of this one clip, which was produced in exactly the same way as the rest of the movie. The one difference is that we used a different microphone for this clip. But again, this clip, like the rest of movie, plays fine when being previewed in the computer. Go figure.

  • I want to use the audio from one of my clips and the video of another can I do this?

    I have two different video clips that I took from my still camera. I want to use the audio from one of the clips and the video from the other at the same time in imovie can I do this and if yes how

    Yes.
    First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Now, drag the clip with the Video into the project.
    Drag the clip with the Audio and drop it on the first clip at the frame where you want it to begin. A popup menu should appear. Choose Audio Only. You may then want to open Inspector for the video clip (by clicking the little gear icon at the top left of the clip) and going to the audio tab. Here you can turn down the volume of the video clip, so that all you hear is the audio clip.
    Another way. Put the video clip that has the Audio you want in first. Then drag the clip with the video you want and drop it on the clip that has the audio you want. A popup menu will appear. Choose CUTAWAY.

  • How do I overlay audio from interview clip over other video clips?

    Help! I have some interview clips and want to over lay the audio from one of the interviews over different video clips. For example, I would show video and audio from the interviewee and then cut to a clip or scene showing what the guy is talking about but still have the interviewees audio playing as a voice over on the cut-away clip. How do I do that?!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Is this Audio muxed (combined into a Clip w/ both Audio & Video), or is it a separate Audio-only file, that has been Imported into your Project?
    If the latter, just drag an Instance of it to a free Audio Track, and position, as is needed. Note: each Instance of a Clip can have different In & Out Poiints, so you are not limited to them being identical.
    For the former, the muxed file, there are a couple of ways to do that, but possibily the easiest is to Alt-click on the Audio part of the Clip (temporarily unlinks the Audio & Video), and Ctrl-C (Copy), then move the CTI (Current Time Indicator/Playhead) to the end of the Timeline, and press Ctrl-V (Paste), for as many Instances of that Audio, as you need. Then, drag them to an empty Audio Track, while holding down the Ctrl key for an Insert Edit, rather than a Ripple Edit, so as to not affect anything on that Track, below the desired Video Clip. If you are replacing the Audio.
    Another way to do that is to use an audio-editing program to rip the Audio, Save as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit file, and then Import that into the Project, for use in many Instances.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,

  • When I have two clips, one above the other, I would like to hear the audio from one at a time. How do I suppress temporarily one of that, in a easier way? Thank you.

    When I have two clips, one above the other, I would like to hear the audio from one at a time. How do I suppress temporarily one of that, in a easier way? Thank you.

    I would think you would drop down the audio level lines in the "Stereo" tab (FCP 6.0.6 view to me) in the clip's video window.
    But then again, in my old version, I can't play two clips at once.  But I figure if the newer FCP allow you to do that, then that's what I would do.

  • I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

    I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found this?

    You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

  • Moving sound from one clip to another?

    Can I take the sound from one clip and move it so that it plays during another clip?
    In other words, if I have some narration in one clip that would be better in another clip, can I pluck out that sound (narration) and re-locate it so that it plays at the same time another clip (video) is playing?
    I know that FCP can do this..you just cut out the sound portion you want and cut/paste it into whereever you want, beneath the visual part of whatever clip you want it to play with.
    thanks!

  • No way to apply filters/color from one clip to another?

    What am I missing? I don't see any way to take the color/filter settings from one clip and lift/stamp them onto another clip.

    highlight the clip that you have adjusted. Right click and choose copy. Then highlight all the other clips you want to add the filter to. Right click and choose Paste attributes. A window will open asking which attributes to paste. Choose filters.
    Good Luck!
