Does anyone know how to edit a song in iMovie ?

Im trying to edit a song that I bought on itunes. I only want to use the middle of the song and not the whole song in Imovie clip...any suggestion.  Please advise thank you.

I had the same problem and I used the open-source free programme Audacity which I downloaded  http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/legacy_mac  It is quite comprehensive and I am certainly not au fait with all it can do, but I just imported the music I wanted and then cut out the vocal stuff i didn't want and put it back into itunes, just making sure I named it with the number of seconds so not to confuse it with the original. It then should fit perfectly where ever you need to put it in your movie.  I did find that I "split" the audio so that it was a little longer than I needed so it could then be finally adjusted down to the last frame in the clip.  Just an idea.  Using Audacity is fairly self evident.  Play around with it and you will get the hang of the simple stuff. Just make sure you download the one suitable for your O/S

  • Does anyone know how to edit artist/song names in iTunes 12 for Windows?

    Usually I could click on "Get Info" and change it from there, but now it won't let me do anything with the Get Info page. Help!

    I had this same problem and I started messing with it a bit then I remembered it was a read-only file that's why it couldn't be changed. So to take this off go to the song right click it. then left click show in windows explorer. After that it will take you to where the song is located at. Right click that then left click on properties. Once that opens uncheck the box Read-Only. Then left click apply then left click ok. Close itunes. Open it again and go to the song you wanted to edit. higlight it then left click file,which is in the menu bar.(to show toolbar press ctrl+B). Go down to get info and hover mouse over it. then press shift right click it and at the same time left click it. The old get info pop-up should show and you should be able to edit from there.

  • Does anyone know how to edit your profile if you have more than one apple device but only 1 email address?

    Hi I am trying to update my email address since I quit work and left my work email address behind.  I now only have one email address, but an iphone and ipod classic and want both of them to use the same email address - but am having problems using the address for my iphone as it is already attached to the ipod classic.  Does anyone know how I fix this??
    thanks

    My profile: bookmarks - I added one of someone that did manage, it does take planning.
    take a look and good luck, it is not supported or standard but can be done.
    NTFS and HFS drivers to write back and forth may be easier and better though.
    or 2nd hard drive - and use NTFS along with HFS driver as needed.

  • Does anyone know how to remove duplicate songs in my music

    i have songs that i want to delete.  half of the songs are my kids songs and i dont like them.  does anyone have any ideas.

    I just looked at my duplicate downloads again.  All are listed as iTunes, Version 11.2.2, Installed May 30, 2014 (4 copies of what looks like the exact same download) and then May 29, 2 copies, again looks like exact same thing because the only difference is the date - not the number of the download, or the description. So this is how I have 6 downloads, when I probably only need one of these.  Wish someone would shed some light on this so that I can clean it up.  But thanks for at least being responsive and saying you have the same question! 

  • Does anyone know how to keep all songs in the same album when they say featuring someone?

    Each time I load a CD onto Itunes that has an artist who features another artist on that particular song, it puts it in my library as a separate CD even though it will have the same album listed.  For instance Lady Gaga's song just dance features Colby O'Donnis that song is in its own spot while the rest of the cd is together that one song is separate and I don't know how to keep them all together.  Someone help.

    Get the Informations for that song and have a look in the "Sorting" area if there is something different. The data inserted there is just for how iTunes will order the songs.
    If the Interpret in the general informations is "Lady Gaga" and in the sorting area is "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx" than you'll see Lady Gaga as the interpret but it's sort to a second entry "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx".

  • Does anyone know how I can transfer songs from my old Dell Digital Jukebox to iTunes so I can sync them to my nano?

    I have a new Windows 8.1 pc, and a new iPod nano 7th gen. How do I upload songs from my old Dell Digital Jukebox (yes, I know it's a dinosaur, but it still works great) to iTunes so I can sync those songs over to the nano?

    Also, I should mention that I spoke to an Apple rep. He sent me a link to download a driver for the Jukebox once we found out that the pc did not recognize the device when I plugged it into the USB port. He told me that once I upload the driver, it will recognize it and I can just copy and paste the songs into a folder, then import them to iTunes. So far it has not worked and when I tried to call back, it looks like morning is the soonest I can speak to someone. So I'm trying on here.

    There is no way to remotely track any device that is turned off, or does not have an internet data connection.  In that case, no remote system can possible communicate with the device, nor the device send any information to any remote server.  Any device, not merely an iPhone, shares that same limitation.  Remote tracking is only possible if the device and the tracking system can talk to eachother.
    Apple does not offer any other feature because they are not a law enforcement agency.  They are bound by the same privacy laws that keep you from snooping in somebody's house just because you claim they have something of yours.
    Of course there are alternate ways to track a powered on and connected cell phone, but Apple has neither the legal nor the moral authority to do such things.  Just because something is technically possible does not mean that any big company and just go out and do them.
    Since when is it always "someone else's" fault and responsibility to deal with your lost or stolen private property?  I don't get this mentality of passing either the blame or the responsibility on to someone else.

  • DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO IMPROVE THE TITLES IN IMOVIE HD 6?

    FOR SOME REASON, the titles options seem to be lcking in controls....foristance I like the drift effect...but there seems to be no way to adjust the timing of them visually...they drify for a second and then go away...or, scrolling across right to eft or left to right is left off the plain scrolling....Although you can make the titles scroll through the boby scrolling, and make the "waters" calm....but I want the titles to scroll, or drift, at different rates..(I know I can do them over eac other...arghhh....pretty simple stuff...but odd not improved in the imovie app. also, the video card I have works great for final cut pro HD....but the video effects all coe out white on about 1/2 of my imovie....I knopw I know...why am I not just using final cut pro....it's too hard, so far....
    is their some sort of extra, or third party thing that I can buy that works for imovie to add more options?

    /your shift keys stick… you should fix that /
    … most titles in iM have sliders to set speed, pauses, whatever.... some titles show a hair-cross, when you click in the tiny preview window, which allows to set the position of some titles…
    to teach iM new tricks, the usual suspects are:

    My iphone5 itunes playlist seems to have a mind of it's own, after selecting a song to play it will randomly flash through songs on my playlist without stopping. I've rebooting, and restored my iphone with no results. does anyone know how to stop this from happening? also I am having trouble syncing songs from my library on my computer to my iphone. the songs so up on my playlist on the computer, but will not synch over to my iphone5. Thank you.

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
    iOS: Force an app to close

    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • I have been trying to change the generes for songs in my I tunes library but it doesn't allow me to do this. Does anyone know how.

    I have been trying to change the generes to some of my songs in my itunes library but it doesn't allow me to do this. Does anyone know how.

    Hello there, reginaairview.
    The following Knowledge Base articles offer some great information in regards to how to change the Genre information on music in iTunes:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
    Edit song or CD information
    Select the song or CD you want to edit, and choose File > Get Info (or press Control-I).
    Click Info and make your changes.
    Tip:   If you’re changing the same information (for example, the genre) for multiple items, you can select all the items and change the information for them at the same time.
    Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
    Additionally this article provides some good screen shots of where that is changed under "Editing and arranging content" section:

  • Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book mo

    Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book module? I can click into any other text window and edit and change attributes but I am locked out of editing text when it comes to the spine of the book. I spoke to Blurb support and they referred me to Adobe. I spent 45 minutes with support here - no one knew. I am still waiting for a call back with an answer... not holding my breath as it's been a few hours now. HELP!!!

    Thanks for your reply John. I have experienced all the fiddly aspects you mentioned - these are attributes and although changing them requires the skill of a surgeon's hand - it's the actual editing of the text I can't seem to access anymore. The box just won't allow me to do anything except change attributes. Does that make sense? And it's only on the spine where I am having this issue. Puzzled! I have even rebooted the program and just now the computer - to no avail.

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

  • Does anyone know how to authroize my computer in order to play my songs??

    Does anyone know how to authorize my computer in order to play my songs??

    For songs, this should only happen to songs purchased from the iTunes Store that were purchase more than a few years ago, when the songs had DRM (copy protection).  More recent song purchases from the iTunes Store do not have DRM.
    To authorize your computer, from the iTunes menu bar, under Store, select Authorize This Computer.  When prompted, enter the Apple ID (with password) used to purchase the songs.  If your currently used Apple ID is different, one computer can be authorized for more than one Apple ID, so that is not a problem.
    Each Apple ID can be authorized with up to five computers (including computers you no longer have but did not deauthorize).  If you have reached that limit, please post back.
