Copy right on sound effects in iMovie

I just got a strange email from youtube. They claim a movie clip of mine contains material which possibly is the property of "GoDigital MG For a Third Party".
I only used sound effects and music from imovie. Isn't this material free to use and publish in my movie clips?
Does anybody know more about this? I cannot find any indication of the copy right inside imovie.
It also states that I don't have to do anything, my clip is still available world wide but they could advertise on my page.
Thanks for any help in advance. If this meant trouble I would remove the clip. Its only a holiday film. Or I would move to Vimeo.
Cheers
Chris

This question comes up from time to time. YouTube and Facebook are both wrong.

  • No sound effects in imovie

    I have no sound effects or option to pick from my itunes while in imovie.  I am not sure what is going on.  The whole box is just gray.  Any help would be great!

    So, update, I have searched my computer, and apparently the original sounds from ilife sound effects is no longer on my mac... I'm not sure how they were removed, as I never deleted things, only added and moved. Now I have to find out where I can find just the ilife sound effects... maybe a download out there?

  • FCP7 Taking an mp3 file (sound effect from imovie library to compressor then import to FCP7

    I am clicking and dragging from iMovie sound effects into FCP7 in it's original format mp3 then I am sending it to compressor and using a 48-16 codec
    to compress it then I am going back to FCP7 and trying to import it but it does not show up on either my internal drive or external drive. Am I missing something? I have done this all before. Thanks.

    Hi
    I'm much more lazy - as I have one way to handle Audio and it always works for my projects.
    • I convert all to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit - or use Audio-CDs .aiff 44.1kHz
    Everything I convert to this - by use of the free program - Audacity
    or from iTunes - by burning out on an Audio CD (still .aiff - no .mp3 or ect)
    These files works greatly in all my Movie/DVD projects.

  • Missing tunes in iLife Sound Effects in iMovie HD6

    I have been working with iMovie HD version 6.0.4 installed in the iLife 08 package in Leopard. When
    accessing the Media Pane and clicking on the Audio Pane and then on iLife Sound Effects, I find that the tunes list is completely blank. There are also no tunes listed in the Garage Band section. However the Standard Sound Effects, the Skywalker Sound Effects and the iTunes list, are completely intact with all songs or tunes in place as expected. I did not have this problem with iMovie version 6.0.3 installed on my iMac G4 computer using Tiger OSX 10.4.11 and I have notified Apple of this problem via the iMovie Help Feedback Form however have had no response from them as they can't respond to individual comments. As a footnote, the missing tunes are in fact on the hard drive. They can be found by going to HD>LIBRARY>AUDIO>APPLE LOOPS>APPLE>iLife Sound Effects (or Garage Band) and the full list of tunes will appear. The question is - how do I transfer all these tunes to the appropriate Media Panes in iMovie and also to the Media Pane in the latest version of Roxio's Toast Titanium version 8 software? I hope that there is someone out there who might help to resolve this problem or who may be able to get Apple to provide an iMovie update which might correct this situation.

    Ok, so this is what I did.
    I naviagted to the directory you gave me: Hard Drive>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple
    I created a new folder name iLife Sound Effects in that directory.
    Then I went to imovie, went to the music tab and dragged all of the .caf files straight from iMovie into the folder I created.
    Then I opened up FCPX and the files showed up in the audio tab.
    Then I deleted iMove because I didnt need it anymore.

  • Mac powerpoint 2011. Can't  I edit sound effects

    Mac powerpoint 2011. Can't  I edit sound effects?  The slides won't move as I have ordered them because the sound effect lasts longer.  Previously (in Office) I have been able to trim the size.  This throws off the entire presentation.  Any ideas?

    If you're still looking for the iLife Sound Effects, they've been moved. In fact, they're downright impossible to find unless you know where they've been hidden.
    They're now stored inside the iMovie app itself. To access the files, go to the Applications folder and right-click on the iMovie app icon. Select "Show Package Contents", twirl open "Resources" and scroll down. You should find sound files in three folders: iLife Sound Effects, iMovie Sound Effects, and iMovie Theme Music. I recommend that you NOT move any files out of these folders, but simply copy them to a new location.
    Hope this finds you well.
    Cheers!

  • Minor AIFF Sound Effect

    I realize this is a minor problem but I have an Sound effect in iMovie 6.0.3 , along with many others, and it will not burn in my iDVD project. Not to a DVD or Disc Image, nothing.
    I remove it from iMovie and it will burn in iDVD. I realize this is the solution to burn it but would like this sound effect in if possible. As I said , I have much music and other sound effects in this movie but this one is giving me trouble. I was looking for suggestions that I could try from any of you.
    Thanks

    You can use WireTap Pro to record the sound effect, creating an AIFC file. Name it whatever you wish, save it to your desktop, and drag/drop it directly into iMovie's audio track. You can put it into iTunes so it will be available whenever you want.
    WireTap Pro is a neat little app that records anything that will produce sound in your computer. I use it a lot to make audio clips of part of a song, or to copy the audio of one of my video clips that I replace with still photo. It is much faster than extracting audio from a short clip. I also use it when iMovie won't play a purchased tune instead of burning to cd and reimporting. WireTap can be run while iMovie is open. It also can be used to drag/drop an audio file into iDVD.

  • No sound effects installed

    I have installed iLife 08. I previously had 06. I'm using iMovie for the first time and notice there are no sounds effects installed. Do I need to reinstall or can I copy them from the disk or other?

    There are no sound effects in iMovie 08. Use iMovie 06.
    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.

  • Free sound effect problem

    Hello,
    I have previously used findsounds.com to get a wealth of sound effects for imovie projects. However, now I cannot get any of the sounds to import to my movies. Is there some setting I need to adjust in iMovie HD to make this work? Thanks.

    I will have to add that one to the FAQ nice find. If QT can play it it "should" import. I always make a habit of converting it to an AIFF file before importing it to iMovie.
    If if you can hear it but cannot get QT to play it then you need a program like Audio Hijack and have it save out an AIFF file for import.

  • IMovie '11 stopped playing some of my audio sound effects.

    I completed a project in iMovie '11 yesterday and today opened it to fine tune the musical scoring. I'm using a 2011 MacBook Air 13 in. Yesterday all the background audio files I had placed, as well as the pinned audio (that iMovie calls "sound effects") worked fine. Today the first few will play and the rest are muted. Also, if I should add a sound effect or music file to the timeline, it appears normally, but remains mute. Nothing comes out of the speakers. The sound file will play fine in the Audio window. Selecting it and then hitting the play button (or double-clicking it) will cause it to play normally. But when I drag the file over to the timeline and drop it on a clip, it attaches normally and looks fine. But when I play the video, there is no sound. Now here's the strange thing. If I copy one of the audio files that DOES play and then paste it back into the timeline, it will not play. It's the same file, but at one point it plays and at another it does not. This problem does not occur with background audio files. If I take the same file that will not play as an attached "sound effect" and paste it into the background as a big green background audio file, it will play.
    So, what's going on? I don't recall doing anything since yesterday (when everything worked fine) that might have caused this aberrant behavior. Have you ever encountered a problem like this? Any idea about what I can do to correct this? Thank you for your swift reply. I'm facing an urgent deadline.

    The "yellow caution badge" that Peter refers to indicates that iMovie can't locate the clip, whether it be video or audio. The "badge" is in the shape of a yellow triangle enclosing an exclamation mark - see this picture:
    One tip that may help is to delete iMovie's preference file. That file can become corrupted under certain circumstances, such as when iMovie quits unexpectedly or is Force Quit.
    The file is located in your User (Home) folder Library/Preferences and, for iMovie '11, is named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist".
    Close iMovie, then drag the .plist file to the Trash. When opened, iMovie will create a fresh .plist file with the default settings, which you can change if desired in iMovie's menu item iMovie>Preferences.
    Deleting the file will not harm your existing Events or Projects, but may fix iMovie's abnormal behaviour.
    NOTE: I have seen similar behaviour myself, as you and Peter describe (but not as serious - it was on a test project). My fix was to check each and every audio track and switch Ducking OFF and ON (or ON and OFF depending on its setting). The disappearing audio suddenly re-appeared on the problem track. But it may have been coincidental, as I was playing around generally - perhaps something else I did triggered it.

  • Possible to copy the sound effects off the phone?

    I love the 'robot' sound effect on the iphone which I use for text message alerts. Is it possible to copy/send this sound file off the phone as I'd like to use it on my Mac too?

    Benjamin Frain,
    I couldn't locate one similar to Robot, but there are ones similar to SciFi ( Sci Fi Sweep ) and Old Phone (Old Telephone Ringing) in the iMovie '08 Sound Effects or iLife Jingles. I haven't looked extensively, there may be other similarities.
    Hope this helps,

  • I life sound effects not showing in imovie 08

    whenever i'm in imovie 08 and i click on the ilife sound effects folder, then click on animals i don't have any sound clips to choose from. there are sound clips in there but they are all .caf files. does imovie not read .caf or is there a quick easy way to convert them to.mp3 files ?

    Mmmm strange . the sound files should be .aif, what happens if you simply change the file extension from .caf to .aif (I've not come across .caf before. They are located in library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound effects.

  • IMovie/iLife Sound Effects working in FCPX but no sign of original folders?

    I posted this question a couple of weeks ago but received no resolution.
    PROBLEM:- 
    iMovie and iLife Sound Effects are present and working in FCP X 10.1.3 but there is no sign of their original folders on my Mac HD
    DETAILS:-
    I have searched in Mac HD>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple and numerous other places.
    I have done Spotlight and Finder searches using both the folder names and some of the individual loop names to no effect.
    I have used DiskWave to list every file and folder on my computer  .  .  .  still no sign.
    The computer is a new (2012) Mac mini, Yosemite with very little on it.
    The folders were there originally when I bought it with Mavericks installed last month.
    I upgraded to Yosemite but as I suffered a few minor bugs I created a new partition and reinstalled Mavericks.
    It was whilst using Mavericks that I noticed FCP X could not access the sound effects and a search of both partitions suggested they had disappeared.
    However, when I restarted in Yosemite and opened FCP X, the sound effects were there and working  in the music browser but were no longer visible anywhere on the hard drive.
    This has to rank as a greater mystery than the Mary Celeste!

    PROBLEM SOLVED !
    I have just been using DiskWave for another matter and accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the missing iMove and iLife sound effects.
    iMovie>Contents>Resources
    So now they actually reside in the iMovie app itself.
    So what caused them to disappear from the "Apple Loops" folder?
    I can only guess but I suspect that the switch occurred when I updated iMovie to the latest "Yosemite" version.
    Presumably Apple has decided that the best place for these loops is in the iMovie app  .  .  .  it's just a pity they didn't tell anyone else!
    If anyone would like to test this theory for me I would be most obliged  .  .  .  assuming you have an old version of iMove and are running Yosemite, simply update iMovie and look for the new location of the sound effects.
