Background Audio Clips

Are there any resources where one can download free (if such
a thing exists) audio loops that can be used in Captivate to hold
the user's attention? I have used portions of songs for some
slides, but would prefer to use a loop or several loops. Before you
tell me how to create a loop, I already know....

Hi Mike
Sure thing.
Take a look at FlashKit (
http://www.flashkit.com/loops/)
and SonnyBoo (

There are probably others out there. But I was aware of these
two.
Cheers... Rick

How do I stop background audio clips from playing while browsing sites?

Firefox is my default browser. I use Google chrome and Internet explorer sessions for background monitoring news site sessions at the same time. I have no problem with the other two browsers. While surfing with Firefox I get unwanted background audio clips that start and run by themselves. I cannot stop them. They run and then stop by their self. They are some sort of adware and I cannot find the source to remove them. I also get video clips sometimes that I can stop that run around the outside of the active window I am viewing. These is very annoying. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem does not go away. I antivirus software, registry change protection software, and registry cleaning software. The problem is with the default browser.
How can I locate and remove the plugin, addin or service that starts this annoying activity. I have no special unwanted toolbars installed. There is nothing in the installed programs list in the control that shouldn't be there.

I had a similar problem to this. EVERYTIME i started firefox, it would play an audio clip from a flash game i played a while ago, it would last 5 minutes before finishing. i tried the starting in safe mode, but that didn't work for me, so after that i then tried RESETTING firefox, and that has worked for me.
On another side of startup problems, firefox would also open up a new tab on startup, usually 22find.com or do-search.com. i know these are caused by a virus and have since deleted it, but it had changed a preference file in firefox causing it to continue to open on startup.
Having since done the firefox reset, i haven't had either of these problems AT ALL! would recommend this as a possible fix for you friend before trying any lengthy troubleshooting process or downloading any extra anti-virus removal software.
here's the like to showing you how to reset firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

How do I get the ducking to work for detached audio clips to reduce the volume of background music?

I have detached audio from clips which explains what I am doing in the video clips (they are muted). I also have a song that I want to play at normal volume in the background when there isn't an audio clip in which I am talking and to reduce volume when I am. On the audio clip of me talking I have the ducking checked and set but there is no change in the music volume. Does anyone know how to fix this?

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 can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

Hi guys,
First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
      but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
      recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
Please help, all of you experts.

Thank you.
OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
My process is this:
1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
     The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

How do I lock Audio clip at playhead in iMovie

Hi,
I have been using iMovie HD for years. Great program. Finally had to move on to iMovie 10. What a total disaster that is. I have a myriad of issues with it, as does everyone else, but right now I am trying to figure out how to lock an audio clip at the playhead, as one essentially needs to be able to do for even pretty simple home movie edits. Am I being stupid or has this functionality been entirely removed by some genius Apple programmer? Why do I get the feeling that what used to be a brilliant and intuitive piece of software has been completely eviscerated to the point of uselessness?
Any ideas? Thanks
Richard

No, it's not been removed. You just need to drag your audio clip to the right place.
In your case, you want to drag it directly to the timeline and not to the background music well below the timeline.

Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project in iMovie? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. Whenever I add audio or song it covers the whole project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

Thank you for your reply Karsten but unfortunately this didn't help me so far. Or maybe I'm missing something?
First the link is a tutorial for iMovie on a Mac. I'm using iMovie on iPad so the steps are inapplicable.
Second it is only possible for me to manipulate the end part of the sound clip to whichever duration I want. But I can't do the same with the 'beginning' of the sound clip.
I simply want to place some photos in the beginning of my video with no sound in the background then after like 2 secs I want to start the music clip. For some reason that is not possible! Cause every time I drop the music clip unto my project timeline it automatically place it self along with the first frame in the project! And consequently the photos and music are forced to start together.
Hope I'm making sense...

How to trim an audio clip in Aperture ?

Hello,
I received your email regarding the change in the length of an audio clip (on the secondary runway) in a slideshow with Aperture.
You tell me to change the length of an audio clip on the main track, I have to change out of Aperture. My audio clip is in my iTunes library.
I am a beginner on Mac! How to access my iTunes library and get the "Info" menu of iTunes library in the Options menu?
Regards
Evelyne

Evelyne, you are referring to your previous question in this discussion, right?
How to reduce the length of an audio clip from the main track in a slideshow created with Aperture?
You tell me to change the length of an audio clip on the main track, I have to change out of Aperture. My audio clip is in my iTunes library.
If you want to shorten your audio file in the Main Audio Track, open iTunes (from the Dock, or from the Applications Folder, or from the LaunchPad).
In iTunes
select the song that you want to trim in the browser or in a playlist;
and open the "Info" panel (from the main menu bar: File > Get Info") or press the keyboard shortcut ⌘I.
Then select the "Options" tab in the panel and change the start and stop times and close the panel again by pressing the "ok" button.
Quit iTunes.
Restart Aperture.
In Aperture open your slideshow, click the iTunes icon to open the Media Browser and select the modified songs. Drag it to the TimeLine as background track.

Best way to merge/nest video and audio clips?

Hi there,
I really need some advice as I am currently editing a video that has a lot of extra sound effects placed in different places and it pretty much makes the mass of the background sound that has been carefully paired to the clips that I have. My issue here is that I need to place in a voice over and make sure it syncs with the visuals also, but this has made me realise that I will need to loop some parts of the clip to make it work and I dont really want to need to move every single chunk of video clip and it's corresponding sound effect manually by highlighting and then pushing towards the right to make room as I may miss something and it will wipe off some areas that I have spent so long on.
Is there a way to 'nest' my current clips with my audio clips so I can safely organise this rather than dealing with about 50 layers of audio and clips whilst I move things about to work with the voice over? Please help any advice would be very appreciated!
Thanks

Find the sequence you are working on in the Project Panel, drag and drop it on the "New Item" button to create another sequence. Now you have a nested sequence that you can treat as a single clip.

Can I have multiple volume levels along one audio clip? PE12

For instance I want there to be a single score of music over the video soundtrack. But I want the music score to lower in volume when important things are being said in the soundtrack. Any way I can raise and lower the volume at different points in the music score?

KeechakVarg
Thanks for the update and the good news of progress.
The Audio Mix is an automatic route for placing those volume keyframes...basically, as the Timeline content plays in the Edit area monitor with the Audio Mix dialog open, you adjust the Audio Mix's volume sliders for the numbered audio track, narration track, or soundtrack involved.
The Smart Mix basically can adjust the volume in the narration or soundtrack against the dialog in a numbered audio track depending on how you designated track, Foreground or Background.
The volume keyframes that are set by these means can be seen as white dots on the audio clip rubberband and can be adjusted there also.
These volume keyframes can also be adjusted in the Show/Hide Keyframe Controls area in the Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume panel expanded area.
You can also do volume keyframing at the Timeline level. See audio clip rubberband which is the orange line that runs horizontally across the audio clip.
If you do not see the "white dotes" volume keyframes...
a. Make sure the clip is set for Volume:Clip Volume and then right click the audio clip, select "Show Clip Keyfrasmes", and follow the path to Volume:Clip Volume.
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.

Extend frame with background audio

I have a main video/audio clip and several other video tracks that overlay at different points.
The problem i have is that the timing of the main track is often too quick, not allowing the overlay enough time to display on screen.
1 method to solve this would be to stop the main track while the overlay displays (this is an exceptable method for my purpose).
I dont however want to display a black background or anything other than track1.
I was able to make a break or split, in track 1, but I couldnt figure out how to just copy a portion of the split track over and over again.
I guess my basic question, is how do I copy and paste...
Also, if someone knows a better way to achieve the same results I would appriciate it. Such as simply pause the video frame but duplicate the audio track for 10s or so.
thanks.

If I understand completely, what you want to do is create a Freeze Frame, from the last Frame of each Video Clip and then place that into the "gap," while the Audio completes. The Camera icon will do a Frame Capture when that Clip is Selected and the CTI (Current Time Indicator w/ red Edit Line) is placed over the last Frame. You then just drag that still image from the Project Panel and place it in the gap, extending it for whatever Duration you need.
As an alternative, see this ARTICLE on L & J Cuts.
Good luck,

Inserting a audio clip

i want to insert a audio clip but i cant seem to get it to work

Hi There:
Please share more details:
- What is the audio file type?
- How you are doing it at present?
Generally embedding audio incorporates the sound directly into the page, but the sound only plays if visitors to your site have the appropriate plug‑in for the chosen sound file. Embed files if you want to use the sound as background music, or if you want to control the volume, the way the player looks on the page, or the beginning and ending points of the sound file.
When incorporating sound files in your web pages, carefully consider their appropriate use in your web site, and how visitors to your site use these media resources. Always provide a control to either enable or disable the playing of the sound, in the event that visitors don’t want to listen to the audio content.
#In Design view, place the insertion point where you want to embed the file and do one of the following:
- In the Common category of the Insert bar, click the Media button and select the Plugin icon from the pop-up menu.
- Select Insert > Media > Plugin.
#In the Property inspector, click the folder icon next to the Link text box to browse for the audio file, or type the file’s path and name in the Link text box.
#Enter the width and height by entering the values in the appropriate text boxes or by resizing the plug‑in placeholder in the Document window.
These values determine the size at which the audio controls are displayed in the browser.
Thanks,
Vinay

Can you span an audio clip across sequences?

I know you can do this across scenes in Dreamweaver. I am wondering if it is any different.
I would like to take an audio clip as a source for background music, and have it play across all the sequences I have in my project, so that there are no jumps in the playback of the music. Is that possible?
Thanks!

why not just leave the music out of your sequences. Then make a master sequence where you put all of your other sequences, essentially using them as nests. Then you can have the audio file play straight though all of them?

Menu background Audio is not retaining Duration when burned

I want to use the first 12 seconds of an audio clip in a loop as background music for my DVD menus.
I added the audio file. no problem. I also set the duration to 12 seconds. The audio file plays as expected in Encore's Preview. That is the 12 seconds of audio plays in the background...looping continously. But when I burn this project to a DVD the whole audio clip plays. Am I missing something?

Modify the length of the audio clip to 12 seconds in SB, AU or PR and then import into EN.

How can I cut audio clips within iMovie?

This may be a simple solution but I just can't seem to figure it out. I would like to add audio (music) to just the beginning of my iMovie project. But whenever I drop a music file into the timeline, it stretches it all the way through the entire movie.
Also, I'd like to know how to only adjust my voice to certain clips of the movie, and not the whole entire timeline.

If you only want the sound clip for a set period of time, drag it on top of one of the video clips near the beginning that will prevent the audio from becoming a 'background music clip'. Grab the title bar of that clip in the Project window and drag it until the whole background area changes from purple/green to the normal dark grey color of the Project window. Same would apply to your voice clips as well, just drag those sound clips right on the very middle of the thumbnail image of the video clip, and then slide it around to where it needs to be by dragging it to the left or right.
