Can I edit out original sound in a clip?

I've been using "the Missing Manual" by David Pogue and it has been fantastic at helping me edit with iMovie. One thing that doesn't seem to be addressed, however, is if the original sound track can be either eliminated or softened for a movie clip. When I put music over some clips, horrible wind sounds or other distractions still come through and I'd like to be able to eliminate that and just hear the music.

For sound editing you may like iMovie 06 better (it's built-in).
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
Much has been written about the differences between iMovie 06 and iMovie 08. I have found the below link to be helpful.

'''''"... I have about 20 bookmark folders and about 100 bookmarks altogether. " '''''
Firefox doesn't store bookmarks like that, sound like a Windows / IE favorites scheme used for '''''url''''' files and folders which isn't directly compatible with the way Firefox does things. Firefox uses a '''json''' file for bookmark backups, a '''bookmarks.html''' for import and export is bookmarks, and stores the users bookmarks in the '''places.sqlite''' file, along with browsing history.
Put those folders and bookmarks in the '''\user\Favorites\''' folder so they are in IE and export your IE Favorites in HTML format, so you can import them into Firefox.
In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
''then in Firefox:'' <br />
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

How can I edit out a part of my song in itunes?

I need to edit out a part of my song but keep the rest. And the part I need to edit out is in the middle.

Bakergirl,
You can use iTunes to remove the beginning or end of a song (or both) by setting the Start and Stop times.
But to remove a section from the middle and keep the rest, you will need an audio editor such as Audacity.

Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?

I know how to crop the beginning or end of a video, but I would like to crop out a section in the middle. I don't want to lose the part following the cropped frames. What must I do? Thanks for any advice you can offer. Miriam

Can I edit out the middle of a video clip in iMovie?
Yes.
What must I do?
Basically you have three options:
1) If the clip is in the "Event" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want and transfer it to your "Project" window and place it where you want it.
2) If the clip is already in the "Project" window, simply select (i.e., set and adjust if necessary "in" and 'out" points) the segment you want to keep...
a) and press the "Split" option in the edit menu (or the "Split Clip" option in the context menu) to divide the clip into three segments. Then select each of the segments you don't want and press the "Delete" key to remove them from the "Project" window.
b) or, even easier, simply press the "Trim to Selection" option in the "Edit" menu.
All of these work flows do not physically remove anything from the "Event" but merely perform a non-destructive edit of the project for the purpose of later output.

Can I filter out "hollow" sound?

I recorded a voice intro and some "noodling" for my guitar instructor to up on his website, but there's just a bit of a hollow sound to his spoken intro and to his guitar playing. Is there an easy way to filter that in Garage Band? I'm pretty new to GB and have barely used it.

Recording Voice overs we can still hear the original sound

hi now im trying to add sound to the video and it works but the original little sounds from the camera are in there to like the wind blowing and my mom speaking and etc. etc, the music is there too but how do you get rid of the actualy sounds and make it so the music is only played during it and nothing else??
thanks

Hi, lizzixxx3,
As Sue pointed out, there is a checkbox at the end of the timeline that when unchecked, mutes the sound for that track. The reason there are 3 is that the first one is for the video, and the second 2 are for the 2 audio tracks. You can uncheck the one corresponding to the video track and your entire movie will be silent. Then after you add audio (music) to your iMovie, you should see the audio clip(s) in the second or third track, one of the audio tracks. If you leave those tracks checked, all you will hear when the movie plays is what you have added.
When you use the microphone, you should end up with an audio file that goes onto one of the audio tracks.
Post back if this is still confusing.
Regards,
Bev

Can't find the original sound card

I have an HP Media Center m7334n desktop pc with xp multimedia. It came with a Realtec sound card, and I installed a second C Media sound card to use with an external interface. It was set up so that the Realtec handled all sounds for the pc such as watching video or listening to audio, and the second sound card worked only with the selected external device.
For some reason, I no longer have sound for audio or video through the Realtec. The C Media card still works fine with th external device, but I get no audio through the PC speakers. I have tried plugging the PC speakers into a different PC and they work fine. I have also tried plugging different speakers into the HP pc, but still have no audio. Also, I can't 'see' the Realtec card when I go to Device Manager. I have tried resetting On-board Audio to Automatic in BIOS, but that did not help.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

I suggest reinstalling the Realtek driver. Also, check to assure that all boxes are checked correctly in the Control Panel.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you want to use OS X (an iMac hasn't got iOS) and Windows at the same time, Parallels or VMware Fusion are the only options.
However, there's an option that you may consider. First, install Windows with Boot Camp onto the hard drive of your computer, and then, when you want to run OS X and Windows at the same time, start in OS X, open VMware Fusion, and use the feature to run your Boot Camp volume onto a virtual machine. That's an useful VMware Fusion that allows you to have Windows installed with Boot Camp to get the maximum performance, but you can also run this Windows copy into OS X without having to restart

How can you edit a song in iTunes so that you can separate the part I want?

Some songs have LONG intros I'd like to edit out. For example, Elton John's Funeral for a friend/Love Lies Bleeding is only available as one track.
How can I edit out the FFAF part? (at least for the version I sync to my ipod.

Hey there,
One option is to change the songs starting time in iTunes. To change when a song starts and ends locate and highlight the song in iTunes. From there, right->click the song and choose "Get Info" from the Menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab and in the middle of the window there are options to adjust the starting and ending times for that song or songs. When you are satisfied, go ahead and hit OK to apply the changes.
From there, sync the updates to your iPod.
Hope this helped.

Deleting original sound of footage and replace with new sound tract.

I took footages of dance sequences and I want to completely eliminate the original sounds and replace it with a song that plays from beginning to end of the movie I'm creating. The ducking slider won't slide back to zero thus when I play the movie, I can still hear the original sound of the footage. How do I completely eliminate the original sound. Thanks for your help!

You don't need ducking for this. Turn it off. In your clip, open the inspector and go to the Audio tab. Set the volume slider to zero.
If you need help bringing in a music track, see [this video|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#tutorial=audioclips]

Can't edit all contacts in iOS 7

I couldn't find any info on this, but I am not able to edit all of my contacts after updating to iOS 7. Some have the "edit" button, and some don't. It's driving me nuts.
Some that I can't edit were originally created on my iPhone.

Had the same problem. Turned off contact sync in iCloud settings retaining all contacts on iPhone. Turned phone off and on then turned sync contacts on in iCloud merging all contacts. Problem solved. Hope it works for you.

Clips move around when I edit out a section

I am sure many of you know what I am trying to ask, it's just difficult for me to describe. When I edit out a section of one clip, all of the clips move over to fill in that space, that's not what I want to happen..I want everything to stay where it is and there to be a blank space where I just edited. I can get an animated part synced up perfect, decide to change one thing and the whole thing is messed up!
What am I missing here? Help?
Thanks in advance...
peace, pride & respect,
Chris

You aren't missing anything. That's just the way it works. Basically, you can't guarantee your audio sync until all of your video editing is done. You can try locking the various audio clips to the video clips at the playhead, using the Advanced menu. That might preserve the sync in most of your movie, depending at what point you removed the edited material. At least you probably could confine the "mess up" to one section of audio. But you still will need to account for the material you edited out, unless you want to leave a blank space there or edit your audio.
If you do want a blank space at your edit point, just create a space by dragging back the clips that moved over, until its back in sync with the audio. You can make note of how much duration you edited out, so that the created space is of the same duration. Then get out of the timeline and go to the movie clips display. You will see your space displayed as a black clip. Control click on it, and in the resulting drop down menu, select Convert Empty Space to clip, if that's what you want. Of course, that will leave a black space in your movie.

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!
