Can't edit sound level through a clip?

Im waiting for my software here in Spain and I can't believe that

I can't believe it either. I've always bragged to people about how many features iMovie '06 has, and to think that now it's gone? (Well, iMovie '06 isn't gone, but . . . ) I get my copy of iLife tomorrow, so I'll be reporting back (as will many of us).
Say it ain't so, Steve!

HT5517 How can I adjust sound level when streaming radio from my Apple TV through Airplay speakers?

I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV with an airport express set up as airplay speakers. I can stream the new radio through using the Airplay speakers pretty well. The problem is that once I've got it going, I cannot adjust the sound level without laboriously backing out of the radio menu, going back to the top level menu then drilling down into the Airplay settings to raise or lower the speaker's sound level.
Is there an easier way to do this?

go to system preferences > Sound > Output. then change the output from "built-in" to HDMI.

Can't set sound levels at startup

Hi All,
I've gone through the ALSA sound guide on Arch in some detail. I have sound working on my computer.
However, it starts muted at 0% everytime I boot up... despite using alsamixer to set the levels and saving the config with alsactl store and adding alsa to my rc.conf daemons.
On boot up I see the ALSA sound levels marked as [DONE]
Any ideas what's going wrong?

Here's an alternative.

How do I dip out sound halfway through a clip?

Short clip, person speaks, then there is a loud noise. How do I lower sound in part of a clip?
Thanks

Keyframe the gain level of the clip at the appropriate spots.

IMovie can't edit sound for a portion of an event

Is there anyway of editing just a portion of the sound track from an event? I coughed during a video, and rather than have to redo all 12 minutes, I'd like to just edit the sound out for that portion, then put in a picture (my next effort) so you can't see me coughing either. But when in sound edit mode, iMovie auto-selects the entire event, so any edit I make, like reducing the volume, is done to the entire event. When I select a portion of the video, then try and invoke sound editing, it just won't happen. This just plain doesn't make any sense to me, but I don't know anything about sound/movie editing, so maybe this is just a limitation of iMovie.
Any suggestions?

We-ell, it probably seems to AppleMan, and possibly others, that you DO really need "..10 hours of videos or 50 pages of tutorials.." ..and a good place to start is Apple's own iMovie Tutorials; there's a whole pile of them here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie .
You say "..I finally figured it out. You can't take the whole event into the project.." ..but you CAN. Just click anywhere on an Event (..that's any single clip in your 'Events' window..) then - as is standard throughout Apple programs - hold down the Apple ('Command') key and press the letter 'A' ..and that "Selects All" of that clip.
You can then drag all that clip into your 'Project' window. (..Dragging, I find, is far simpler than, as you say, "..select the event, then click on the Edit button to move it to the project"..)
But you asked about audio editing. There are several ways to do what you want:
You said "..I'd like to just edit the sound out for that portion, then put in a picture (my next effort) so you can't see me coughing either.." ..If you've already got, in your Events clips, a picture - or video clip - which you want to use to "cover up" your coughing, select that Event and drag it on top of the section of clip which you want to obscure in your Project window. When you release the mouse button to drop that clip on top of the clip which you want to obscure, here's what iMovie's Help file says will happen:
(..You have looked at iMovie's Help pages, haven't you? ..Search under, for example, 'Replace'..)
Anyway, when you drag a clip from Events onto a clip in your Project and release the mouse button, this little menu pops up:
..You can then choose what you want to do with that "cutaway" clip, such as "Replace at Playhead" or "Cutaway". Using it as a "cutaway" (..temporarily cutting away to that different shot, and then coming back to the original..) will then position it above the original clip. You can then click on the little "cogwheel" icon at the start of that cutaway clip, and then, in its drop-down menu, click on 'Audio adjustments', and choose 'Ducking: Reduce volume of other tracks..' and that will reduce - to zero, if you like - the sound from the underlying original track for the duration of that cutaway, so that your coughing disappears.
A second - and maybe simpler? - way to remove the coughing is to simply Split the video clip which has the coughing: Split it so that the sequence with the coughing ..let's say it's 3 seconds long.. becomes a separate 3-second clip. Then just click on the "cogwheel" icon at the start of that 3-second clip, and choose - as before - 'Audio adjustments', and then just drag the clip's audio level down to zero. So that you're not left with no sound at all, copy a short section of audio from elsewhere (..how? it's in the Apple Tutorials..) and paste it underneath that 3-second clip, or add music, or add an audio clip of general nondescript "ambience".
AppleMan did his best to help you. You might have offered him some thanks instead of just stamping your virtual foot and saying "..I don't need to be referred to 10 hours of videos or 50 pages of tutorials.."
He offered you help, and you spat at him. If you try a little courtesy next time; it'll get you much further.
(P.S: I see that AppleMan already succinctly explained to you exactly how to do this in your other question called "Can the sound track be deleted from a small portion of video?" ..!)

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.

Can you edit fcpx directly through an external drive?

Hello everyone,
So I've been wondering recently but can't find much in the way of answers on the internet. Are you able to hook up an external drive and actually edit the project directly on the drive through Final Cut Pro x? I have been considering getting a couple g drives with thunderbolt to speed up my backup process but wondered if it's possible to edit right there. Don't know if it's practical or not. Has anyone done it? Thanks all!

I'm trying to do just that, but I can't get FCPX to acknowledge any external drive, other than to import from one. The drive I want to use exclusively for FCP projects is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). But it won't show up in FCPX. What am I not doing right?
Are you using 10.1.1? Hard drives don't appear in the interface as they did in previous versions.
When you create a new library, you choose where you want to store it.

I can't edit sound during multi-camera editing

Hi!
When I work with multi-camera I can't cut audio. Only video. You can see it in picture. I can't find any settings to fix it. What should I do? Premiere Pro

Had the same problem: Couldn't edit main audio in a multi camera timeline, razor tool does not work and audio transitions cannot be added.
To solve the problem:
Go to the affected audio track and click on the 'show keyframes' button for that track. Make sure 'clip keyframes' is selected. The track should now become accessible to be cut and add transitions. You cannot alter the track if one of the other options is selected. For example I had Track Keyframes > Volume selected. Your volume markers will still be there and you can jump back and forth at your leisure.

I can't edit my IMovie, states no clip selected

I select a clip from my movie to edit crop and I get a message that states "no clip selected" but it is. I suddenly can't seem to change anything on this movie and had been able to.

I had the same problem and did all of the suggestions such as deleted certain files (com.apple.imove....and com.apple.iapps....) from the preferences folder...didn't really help my situation so I decided to view "rejected only" clips and saw that a clip that was in my project was in the list. So I deleted the clip and everything is working fine. You will just have to import that clip again.
Hope that helps...

Totally stuck. Can't edit white borders around my clips instead of yellow

Hello,
I'm working on a project, but FCPX won't let me edit in my timeline. The one thing that I notice is that when I highlight clips to edit, instead of being surrounded with a yellow border, they're outlined in a white border.Also, the playhead and the skimmer line are faded and dull. I've tried rebooting, but it just comes back to this same state of affairs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Erik

Can you edit a library through shared network??

IS it possible to edit a library (change playlists, delete songs, etc) through a network???

As far as I know, you'll need remote access to the computer. ITunes, however, doesn't allow you to manipulate songs on other PCs.

Can I edit Wordpress site through Dreamweaver?

I've started a site on wordpress consultantdesignengineers.com and I was wondering is it possible to open wordpress template files in DW and do some customizing and be able to see the results in the design mode and if so, what exact files from WP need to be loaded in DW? cheers

WP Theme development requires really good coding skills in PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. If you're not a skilled coder and more specifically very familiar with how Child Themes work, I don't think DW's Design View will much help to you. It's all about working with code.
To work with PHP files locally, you need a local testing server.

How can i adjust the sound level customized for each browser tab?

Hi,
I'm kinda a new mac user. I want to know how i can adjust the sound level specifically for each browser tab or application the way you could do in windows.
Thanks.

Volume Mixer feature that Windows has, is not available in OS X.
Best.

Re ilife 11: I bought it so I could manipulate the sound WITHIN an imovie clip. The sound track in imovie 09 fluctuates wildly following export of the movie. It seems that ilife 11 in fact does not have improved controls. Any suggestions?

Can I transfer my files to the apple movie "pro" system instead? I forget what its proper name is. With that programme like the old imovie of '05 approximately, you can grab the sound track within a clip and manipulate its volume up or down.
I need to do that to compensate for the coder problems in imovie 09 and 11 soundtracks.

This can be done quite easily in iMovie '11.
Firstly, click on the waveform icon at the bottom right of iMovie's window (also at the lower right of the Project window) - shown here:
You will see the volume level line within the waveform. For the section you wish to lower the volume, click and drag across the waveform so that it is highlighted with a yellow border. Now you can drag the volume line up and down. See the following example, showing the different volume levels:
TIP: Set the thumbnail slider (next to the waveform icon) to half a second - this will show more detail in the waveform, with each thumbnail representing half a second of video.

Normalising Sound Levels in iMovie

Hello,
I have an iMovie project which is a video/audio interview between two people. Unfortunately the interviewer's mic is far quieter than the interviewee's. Is there a way that I can normalise the sound levels within iMovie so that the volume is consistent?
Thanks!
Tom Ewer

The only way to do that is, if you have iMovie 11, view the audio levels under the video clips and manually change it each time the people switch talking.
