Can you add audio from a movie to an imovie video of still images?

Does anyone know how I can add a sound clip from a movie to a video created in imovie? 

The easiest way to separate the Video & Audio is to drag the muxed file to the Timeline. The exact position does not matter, but I'd choose a place where you can see the Clip that you will wish the "borrowed" Audio to go with - your "target" Clip. Once on the Timeline, Alt-click the Audio, to unlink it and then drag to an empty Audio Track near your desired target. Alt-click on the remaining Video of your source Clip and delete it.
Now, you do similar, should your "target" Clip have its own Audio, that you will want replaced. Alt-click on that Audio and delete it. Now, I'd turn off Snap and align the "borrowed" Audio to the "target" Video Clip. Once you have it where you want it, turn Snap back on.
The secret is the Alt-click to separate the Audio and the Video. Make sure to use this, especially if you want to delete one stream, as they are still linked. They're muxed, after all. I find this keystroke combo easier than using the Link/Unlink.
Last, if your "borrowed" Audio will fit into the area on the Audio Track, where you deleted the "target" Clip's Audio, you can then just drag your "borrowed" Audio to that Audio Track, or you can leave it where it is. The choice is yours and is just a housekeeping task anyway.
As I do a lot of Track specific work with the Audio Mixer, it is not uncommon for me to have similar looking Audio on different Tracks. With Audio Mixer, you apply Track Keyframes and Effects to the entire Track and not to the Clip. If one does nothing but Clip Effects and Keyframing, this will not matter.
Good luck,

  • Can you add vids from a camra to Ipad

    Can you add vids from camra to ipad 2 (to make vids on imovie)

    surely. You need to sync the files to your camera-roll in iOS, use itunes/iphoto. IMovie in iOS can access all videos that are in the camera-roll ( photos.app ) .
    The Apple iPad camera connection kit will also be a big help  : With it you can insert a digital cameras SD-Card into the iPad and mass-import the footage . Using this you avoid the iTunes/PC/OSX procedure to load material into the ipad.

  • How can you rip audio from video

    How can you rip audio from a video using Itunes 11.1?  I am using a pc win 8

    Possible in iMovie 08 with a lot of tinkering. Easy in iMovie 9 and iMovie 11 with drag and drop.
    See [Aaron's blog post for how to do it in iMovie 08|http://imovie08.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-extract-audio-from-clip.html]

  • Can you add menus to home movies?

    Hi, Just wondering if iMovie has any way of adding menus to the start of home movies. The sort of menu that you can select chapters from to jump to different sections of the movie.

    Just wondering if iMovie has any way of adding menus to the start of home movies. The sort of menu that you can select chapters from to jump to different sections of the movie.
    iMovie HD (free version 6.0.4 available to iLife '08 owners from Apple) and GarageBand can chapter can chapter movies. (iTunes, iPod, iPhone, TV, QT Player, and Front Row can all use these chapters.) However, iMovie '08 itself cannot add chapters. If your clips don't need any editing, simply create/add them to a GarageBand iPod project, chapter them, and export them using the "Export Movie to Disk... > Full Quality" Share menu option. This work flow does not re-compress your video content, but merely places it, the audio, and the chapter text track in an MOV file container for use.

  • Can you add audio tracks as selectable menu items on a dvd? I shot a wedding where the church had its own set up to record audio. I'm trying to make those songs performed by the artists available for viewers of the dvd to select for listening.?

    I'm trying to make audio (MP3) tracks available for viewers of this Wedding dvd to select for listening. Is this possible in iDVD?

    You will need to create a slide show for each of those songs with a minimum of 1 photo per slideshow and add the song to the slideshow audio bin. Set the audio to Fit to Music.
    In your top/main menu add a submenu for the list of songs.
    Add a slideshow for each song with the "+" button at the bottom:
    Select the link in the menu and rename it for the song used in the slideshow.  You can create a slide image for each song with the song name, composer, singer, etc. on the image to be used for the slideshow  An image editor or Pages can be used for that and then convert to a jpeg file for use in iDVD.
    The song/playlist menu could look like this depending on the theme you choose:

  • Can you add audio to muse?

    I would like to add sounds that are triggered when you click on objects, as well as background music. Is this possible in Muse?  If not, how can this be accomplished some other way?

    Hi kindergarten ninja,
    You can achieve that by embedding the code for audio as discussed in one of the previous posts here how do i embed audio (mp3) in muse?
    Hope that helps!

  • Can you "unsend" audio from Soundtrack?

    Okay, so I sent audio to Soundtrack and removed noise. My producer wanted a clean track for client rough cut.
    Now I'm ready to export an OMF for ProTools using Automatic Duck. Is there a way to reset the audio that was sent to Soundtrack as though it was never sent in the first place? If I can't will the "sent" clips be exported in the OMF with the soundtrack filters applied?

    You'd have to re edit the old sound in. but if you export, the soundtraack improved files will be in the OMF...

  • How can you add data from a variable into a column in a data flow?

    I need to populate a table with data from a variable. The data type of the variable is String. I'm running into issues doing it the way I am. I have variable
    User:VariableName = "Some moderately sized string of data"
    When I try to use a Derived Column Transformation Editor to insert the variable into the data flow as a new column, SSIS forces the Data Type to be Unicode String[DT_WSTR] and I can't change it. Additionally the length is 0 and I also can't change that.
    When I run the package it errors with a truncation error. If the length is 0 then that makes sense but then why can't I change it to something that makes more sense?
    What is the correct way to go about this?

    Use advanced editor to change data type and length.

  • IMovie '09--Can you add an object (like an Arrow) over the video?

    I have a sports video stored in one on my projects and want to add an object like a circle or an arrow to highlight a particular player. Is that possible?

    If I may ask... How did you create the photo with a transparent background? I know how to do that in photoshop... but how do you save it? because when I save something like that as a .jpg it defaults to a white background.

  • Can you add GHz to your MAC PRO??????

    I want to buy an 8Core MAC PRO which consists of Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors
    Can you add a third Processor?? because with video editing Two 3.2 Ghz is not as much as one might think.. You can buy PCs with Four 3.0 Ghz for 1,000.00 less

    So is two 3.2 Ghz going to be fast enough for editing?? I am doing a lot of chroma keying right now I have an imac 2.66 ghz and I am having to downsize all of my footage from my XH-A1 because it takes so long to render when it is in 108060i. So.. yeah just wondering if maybe someone could give me some pointers as far as what to buy right now like i said i am doing a lot of green screening and I want to be outputing with the full resolution of my xh-a1 without having to convert to 720
    Sorry if none of this makes sense. -Nick

    I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5  when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through .  My Sound effects and music can be heard.  First I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it.  everything sounds great in preview but then ( once again)I lose my audio from my movie clips.

    Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

    Hi B
    Really sure You are looking into Your "user" folder ?
    In this there is a folder with in my case "my account" eg "Bengt"
    in this ther IS a library folder
    and in this ther should be an iMovie folder. If not I would make one
    and into this put a folder "Plug-ins" and in this put Your plug-ins.
    Restart Your Mac and open iMovie and see if it found the new plug-ins.

  • If you remove a backup from Time Machine, can you add it later?

    if you remove a backup from Time Machine, can you add it back later? I have two backup sets active, but only one is connecting to a drive at the moment. It seems to be pausing TM for the inactive one, which is as I would expect, except that the menu icon for TM shows an exclamation point (= "waiting to backup"). I'd rather have that error / pause sign show if the ACTIVE connected drive is experiencing issues. It has zero diagnostic function as currently set up.
    The solution would be to remove the backup drive from the TM list and then add it back later. I am just unsure if I can do this (will TM recognize the alternate backup set again if I re-add it?)

    Yes, you can re-add it.
