Can I just extract the audio from my iMovie creations?

I have made some nice videos of my band on iMovie, and am wondering if I can just extract the audio from those to have in iTunes to listen to live audio versions of our songs.

share/Export with Quicktime/drop down menu choose aiff..
exported file contains audio-only.
use iTunes/Garageband/Audacity/.. to convert into smaller aac, mp3 whatever..

Can you extract the audio from a music video?

Some of my favorite songs were purchased from Itunes as music videos. (Because they are also my favorite videos.) Now I'm trying to figure out how to move those songs to the iPod +without having to buy the songs as just songs!+ It's been very frustrating. "Create iPod or iPhone version" doesn't convert to anything useful for a Shuffle. How do I extract the audio from the video?
Or do I have to buy the same music over again?

Hello RoyFeni,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Can you change the music video's *Media Type* to Music from under the Options tab of the *Get Info* window for the track in iTunes?
I'm not sure if you can, but hey its at least worth a try. It's all I have though.
Otherwise, this is not possible via iTunes. The only way you would be able to extract the audio is through the help of some third party application. Not sure how simple or complicated the process is.

Using Pro Logic X to record. I have several tracks and I'm trying to record an audio track. I have the mic connect to Avalon 737 then into apollo interface. When I record all track are being recorded into that track. I can't just get the audio to record.

Thanks for responding. Everything seems to work right except for the when I plug into the 737. Ok let me see if I can be more clear. I had this set up done with two representatives of Neumann, and DBox. Here it is I hope this helps. 32 Channel snake (24 Inputs 8 outputs) Channels 1-8 from snake to my Octopre for Drums. From Octropre output quarter inch lines into the Apollo 2, quarter inch input. This is so that the Apollo 2 is taking the drum tracks. Snake Channel 9-12 into Apollo 1 channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 13-16 into Apollo 2 Channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 17 into the 737, output of 737 into Channel 5 of the Apollo 1 quarter inch.
Ok The Dbox. Sum output L&R into channel input 7&8 of Apollo 1. Apollo 1 output channels 1-8 into summing input channel 1-8 of Dbox. Apollo 1 main L&R going to main analog input L&R of Dbox. Spid out to DAW input of Dbox. I have both ADAT of both Apollos connected by optical wire. Also have port 2 of Apollo 1 into port 1 of Apollo 2 connected by Firewire. Let me know. Hope I got it right. Thanks for responding.

When using Final Cut Pro X, how do I just use the audio from a video that I imported?

I just want to use the sound from a video I imported. Is this possible? Thanks!

Sure you can do this. Add the video to your project timeline. Right click the clip and select detach audio. Set in and out points for what you want to export and in the export settings choose audio only and select file encoder you want AIFF, CAF, MP3 etc.. This will give you an audio only Quicktime file which you can then import to FCP to use like any clip.

There are several sw applications for the PC you can use to get the audio from the video file.
You can use an encoder like www.imtoo.com 3gp encoder.
You could use SUPER (freeware video encoder)
Lastly if you have an audio recorder app in your pc you could just play the video and record the audio in your recorder application.
There are just many ways to do this.

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....

Can I import just the audio from a DVD into itunes????

I'm a beginner to this Itunes and have been wondering this. If I can take audio files off of CDs and put them into Itunes. Can I take just audio from a DVD and put that into Itunes. Example: Can I take the audio from a live concert DVD for just one song?

Welcome, Don, to the Apple Discussions!
No, you can't do that with iTunes.
There is third-party software available that allows you to do so, though.
You might want to pay a visit to Google and enter
b dvd audio ripping
or some such terms.
Good Luck!

Can you record the audio from a Video embedded in a pdf?

I can't seem to find anything on this, so I will ask. A client sent us a company produced interactive pdf and wants us to use the audio from a video clip that is in the pdf. We asked for the audio clip but they don't know who to get it from and just keep saying it is in the pdf. While others try to explain that a pdf and an mp3 are not the same thing. I get to look into a fall back position of trying to extract the audio (or video). There is no copyright issue here. Client peon just can't/won't get the proper file.
Maybe some one can help or point me to info that says it is not possible.
Thanks.

WireTap Studio did the trick. I downloaded a free Trial version and bob's yer uncle.
Thanks Michael

How can i cut the audio from 1 file and put it on another?

I have these2 files of the same movie, 1 is amazing quality but theres no audio. the other is crummy quality but has perfect audio. How can I cut the audio from the good audio version and paste it onto the good video file?
btw i have quicktime pro is that changes anything

Open the movie and press "Command J". This will bring up the properties window. Click on the Audio Track or Video Track and the "Extract/Delete" buttons will light up. Click "Delete" and it'll delete the currently selected track, click "Extract" and it will extract the selected track into a new movie. Just use Delete on the correct track and you're halfway there.
Then, select the movie that is just an Audio Track now, do "Command A" then "Command C" to copy the audio track. Go to the movie that's just a video track, move the insertion point to the beginning of the video then do "Option Command V" to add the Audio Track to the Video Track side by side.

How can I display & split the audio & video from the same digitized clip?

I digitized a scene into iMovie that I edited on a professional system which I don't have access to anymore. The whole scene is 1 clip. Now I see a few tweaks that I want to make, so I was hoping to do them in iMovie.
I want to "pull up" the audio in one section - meaning I want to take cut about 20 frames of audio from the end of a shot, and then move all the other audio up to fill the hole. To compensate for the missing 20 frames, I'll cut video off the head of the next shot. Some call this prelapping. Some call it an L-cut. Some call it asymmetrical trimming. Either way, I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie.
My clip appears in the timeline as one track - a single track that contains the video and 2 audio tracks. How can I display the audio that's tied to the video on its own track? Then I think I could split audio & video wherever I wanted and trim things up - but I can't figure out how to do it.
Am I asking too much of this software?
BTW, I never see the option to "Split audio clip at playhead". I'm not displaying clip volume or waveforms. Choosing to display waveforms doesn't show me anything. Maybe iMovie thinks I'd only want to see waveforms of audio that isn't tied to my video-and-audio clips?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Jordon,
"Am I asking too much of this software?"
No, you're not.
You first want to select your clip(s) and choose Advanced>Extract Audio.
This will copy the audio from the video clip and place it on one of the two separate audio tracks while lowering the audio level to zero in the original video track.
You can now edit and move the audio independently of the video.
With the audio clip selected, you'll find you now have access to Edit>Split Selected Audio Clip at Playhead.

How do I use just the audio from a clip in imovie? No picture, no video, just audio!

I want to put the audio from a clip at the end of the video. No video, just black screen

It will require a bit of a workaround. But it can be done. If you enable Advanced Tools under the iMovie Preferences (Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences). Enable Advanced Tools by clicking the checkbox.
Now create a title with a black background by dragging at title to the end of the video on the Project timeline. Once the title is there, delete all the text on the title. Now drag that black background directly dead center onto the video clip just before the end where you want to 'blot out' the video and just have audio. When you release the mouse, you will be shown a pop-up menu with a bunch of different options including one titled cut-away. Choose this option. What will happen is the video will cut to the black video background you dragged on top of the video clip. You can set the duration by dragging the left and right edges out further to make it run longer. This black back ground effectively cover the video and will continue to play the audio of the underlying video clip.

Can I rip the audio from a video so that's all i have?

I have a couple of comedy videos and i find it unecessary to have the video and the audio, since it would be just as great with only the audio. So my question is if anyone knows if i can rip only the audio froma quicktime movie? thanks in advance.

Try virtualdub found at virtualdub.org. I have never tried a quicktime movie. If it doesn't work, go to www.digital-digest.com. They will have the answer.
