Ducking doesn't work on added audio track

I have an iMovie 09 video clip of people dancing to music in the background.  I attached a separate audio clip of music to the video (it appears in green beneath the video).
At a certain point in the video, I want to fade the added music clip so you can hear what's going on in the video.  So I went to "Audio Adjustments" on the video clip and checked the Ducking box to that the music on the added audio clip would fade at that certain point.
But it doesn't fade at all.   How do I fix this?  Thanks. 

You should be able to trim expanded audio in previous versions, also.  Then you do trim, the audio will only turn dark, not get physically shorter, when you Expand Audio Components.  When you Expand Audio, it will physically change the length of the audio section.  One thing to remember is that when you Expand Audio/Video, the whole clip is selected by default, click on the head or tail of the audio first.  If it is red, you can not expand it out, but can trim it in.
Tom is correct about ROLL edits, they only work in FCPX 10.1 and later.  Only works with clips in a Storyline.  Only work with audio that has enough Handles to accoedate the Roll edit.

  • How can I position my added audio track?

    Hi all,
    I need to have a delayed start for my added audio track.
    The music should only start 30 seconds after the movie starts.
    I tried to position it manually to a second movie sequence but it doesn't seem to work... it will only place itself at the beginning.
    If anybody has clue?
    Thanks in advance.

    Apple have made background music rather simple in iMovie.
    You are allowed only one track, and it just starts at the top.
    I have found the only way to do this is to create multiple projects that later are assembled together as a whole.
    Not the nicest solution, but it works.
    Duplicate the project,
    then delete the 30 seconds you want music free, and add the music track,
    save this new video out to the camera roll.
    Open the origonal project, delete the bit you just added music to, and insert the other video you just made.
    This way you can have multiple music tracks too .
    I tend to edit the whole video, and then break it into parts to add music and adjust the edits.
    Then assemble all the parts again for a final output.
    This is reasonably quick for small home movies.
    I realise that everytime you save to camera roll you lose quality of video;
    but it is minimal and I also tend to archive out the iMovie Projects just in case I want to edit again later.
    I tend to use 'Splice' or 'Voddio' if I want to edit more complex stuff and retain quality.

  • [Photoshop CC 2014] Click&hold-move-release doesn't work when adding adjustment layer from the layer panel

    When selecting a menu item I used to click the left mouse button and hold it down, move the pointer to the desired menu item and release the mouse button. Everything works fine in the mine menu, but there's a problem when adding new adjustment layer from the layer panel: when I release the button nothing happens, I have to press the button again. In previous PS version it worked fine. How can I fix this?

    I don't think that is user fixable, meaning you'll have to wait till adobe fixes it with an update.

  • "Autoplay" doesn't work for playing audio in mobile Safari (iphone)?

    I have 2 problems that would like solve, please help me. The first one is I've noticed that QuickTime doesn't play audio automatically when setting attribute "Autoplay" to true. The second my problem that I need playback audio in background mode, that is without opening Quicktime player window. Below my code how I try doing it...
    <OBJECT ID='ctl05$MPHolder_MediaPlayer' classid='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B' codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab' height=0 width=0> <PARAM name='src' value='http://kvinelearning.eu/iphone/els/IphoneSoundTest/2.mp3'> <EMBED height=0 width=0 SRC='http://kvinelearning.eu/iphone/els/IphoneSoundTest/2.mp3' controller='false' qtsrc='http://kvinelearning.eu/iphone/els/IphoneSoundTest/2.mp3' autoplay='true' PLUGINSPAGE='www.apple.com/quicktime/download' EnableJavaScript='true' NAME='ctl05$MPHolder_MediaPlayer' /></OBJECT>
    Thanks all in advance and waiting replies.
    Valeriy.

    QuickTimeKirk, thanks a lot for your answer, but I'm interesting in Mobile Safari, not IE, FF or Opera This is these problems appear only for iphone browser, for others ones it works fine, even in Safari for Windows. So, autoplay still doesn't work... And please consult me about quicktime player browser's plugin, I mean why I cannot play sound with javascript function [documetn.getElementById("qtplayer").Play()] without opening sound track in plugin window? I really need playback in background. Or is it feature of quicktime?
    Thank you in advance,
    Valeriy.

  • Fast Forward & Rewind doesn't work for long audio files

    I have loaded several mp3 files into the Pre via USB.  Some are 2+ hours long, some are a few minutes.  Fast forwarding thru the track doesn't work on the long files.  Holding down the fast-forward arrows will cause the audio to stutter in the same place, sometimes go BACKWARDS instead of forwards, and eventually it will go silent.  Pressing Pause, Play, whatever won't bring it back and ytou have to start the audio file over.
    Help, Palm!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Yea, the fast forward is way lame and pretty much...
    You get the idea.

  • Working with multiple audio tracks

    Hello,
    I'm working with video clips that have a stereo audio track (guide audio fed into the camera) synch'ed to 4 mono tracks (recorded from a variety of boom mics and lavaliers).
    Although I've linked all the audio clips to the video, it still gets a bit cumbersome when performing T or L cuts. When I hold down the Option key, I still have to adjust each of the audio track separately.
    Is there a more efficient way to deal with multiple audio tracks? Maybe some way to treat these audio tracks as one unit?
    BTW I'm working in FCP 7.
    Thanks,
    Thien

    One way:
    Lock the video track.
    Use the Edit Selection Tool to Select the audio transition points
    This will automatically open the Trim window, where you can move the cut point - in this case I am moving the audio cut(s) 30 frames later than the video cut:
    which gives me the displacement of all the tracks that I wanted:
    You can use this quite quickly once you get used to it.

  • Help on adding audio tracks and encoding for Encore Please.

    Hello,
    Can someone tell me how work and add two different audio tracks to Adobe Encore 2? Example, I would like build a DVD that offers the option to listen the audio in two different languages, and also, wich is the proper way to encode video for DVD in the highest quality possible, eg: Bitarate, 2 pass var rate and so on. I have heard that CANOPUS PROCODER is an awesome software to encode video for DVD.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    >my copy of Encore does not have the tutorial to "how to create a menu to select a second audio track (Different language)"
    Now I see what you were asking, and I apologise. From your post it looked like you needed to know how to add a second audio stream, not how to create the navigation & menus!!
    When setting the links, use "Select Other" option instead of what is in the drop-down list, and this will allow you to specify the Audio stream you want.
    Audio 1 should be one of the mandatory streams (Dolby Digital or LPCM)
    Audio 2 can be anything you like.
    It is a good idea to follow the same convention too - if stream 1 is Dolby Stereo in one timeline, ideally it needs to be set the same in all timelines.

  • Is there a fix for CS6 Photoshop crash when adding audio track?

    I tried posting this problem yesterday, but have gotten no response:
    I'm video editing using Photoshop CS6 (NOT Premiere! NOT CC) and I'm consistently experiencing an application crash (i.e. quit) within a second of selecting/loading an audio track to my edited video. My video is about 3min long in 1080p and I'm running OSX Yosemity on a 13" MacPro Retina w/16GB internal memory. Is there a fix (or even a known cause) for this problem?
    Since my original post I've tried using a smaller video format (i.e. 720p) and shorter length(i.e. 40 sec), but to no avail. Photoshop CS6 still quit immediately after loading an audio track and fail to save.
    Other info I can add: Yosemite 10.10.2, Photoshop CS6 13.0 x64

    Use a proper video application.

  • Edge Animate, Working with multiple audio tracks

    I'm having trouble with one of my animations.
    I have set up 8 animated symbols that will play when the user hovers over the symbol.
    When the user clicks on a symbol it will play an audio mp3 files.
    // insert code for mouse click here
    // Sets a toggle to play or pause the audio track
    var audio = sym.$("_1")[0];                            "_1" is the name of the audio file that is placed on the timeline.  The original MP3 file is named 1 but when it was dragged to the canvas it created a layer called "_1".
    if (audio.paused) {
      audio.play();
    } else {
      audio.pause();
    But there are two problems, one more concerning than the other.
    The problems are below:
    I can not figure out the code to stop the audio when the symbol is clicked again instead of it being paused.  I tried to change audio.pause to audio.stop.  That did not help.  I would like the audio to stop if clicked again and then play from the beginning if clicked one more time.
    This is the one that I am most concerned about.  If the user clicks on one symbol, the audio for that symbol will start to play as intended.  But if the user clicks on a second symbol, the audio for that symbol will start to play in conjunction with the audio already playing from the previous symbol.  It would be nice if a user could click on one symbol it will start to play its audio but if they change their mind and click on another symbol, the playing audio will stop and the new clicked symbol will start to play its audio.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  Or help to provide.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,
    One quick answer to your question, and another that I will follow up on when I get a few minutes.
    Animate uses the HTML5 audio API to control audio elements, so you can only use methods and properties that are specified for audio elements in HTML5 browsers.
    To "stop" audio, you need to pause it and then set its currentTime property to 0, like so:
    sym.$("your_audio_element")[0].pause();
    sym.$("your_audio_element")[0].currentTime = 0;
    The next time you play this audio element, it will play back from the beginning.
    The other part of your question (stopping other playing audio when another symbol audio starts playing) can be done by getting all instances of the audio tag in jQuery and then pausing all audio. I don't have the exact syntax for that at hand as I reply, but I'll respond back with it soon.
    hth,
    Joe

  • EDIT method doesn't work after adding new row

    I would like to start editing after adding new row into TableView.
    I copied example from Oracle website: [Using JavaFX UI Controls - 13 Table View|http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/table-view.htm#CJAGDAHE]. Then I put additional button for adding new row and define action for the button.
        final Button addButton = new Button("Add");
        addButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
                Person p = new Person("", "", "");
                table.getItems().add(p);               
                table.getSelectionModel().select(p);
                table.edit(table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndex(), table.getColumns().get(2));
        });In result I can see selected new row but the table doesn't start edditing in the third column.
    I have similar method for editing existing rows and it works properly.
        final Button editButton = new Button("Edit");
        editButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            @Override

  • Work with multiple Audio tracks; multiple selection

    Hi there,
    For my current project I do have a lot of Audio material - mostly four channels.
    I would like to have those four channels on four tracks in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
    Tough, when I mark all the audio material with cmnd + A and then drag & drop it
    in my time, everything lands on one track...
    So…
    1) is there a possibility, that when I drag & drop it that it automatically spreads to 4 tracks?
    2) If 1) is not possible; how can search for a specific group of audio files to speed up the workflow?
             --> at the moment the files are named Scene_Shot_Take_3.WAV /…_4.WAV / …_5.WAV / …_6.WAV
                 though when I type in the finder "_3" it doesn't make a selection for just the "_3" files but basically everything
                 with the number 3 in the metadate…
    Thanks very much for the tips and help. It is appreciated.
    Cheers

    Are you getting one track with four waveforms on it? You could try in the project panel- right click-modify-audio channels and set as below.

  • After upgrading to iOS 8.0 bluetooth in my iphone 5 doesn't work corretly with audio system in mercedes E-class 2014

    The music doesn't play from iphone. And radio doesn't then iphone has connection to audi system

    Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
    1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
    2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
    3. Do a soft and hard reset.
    4. Reset network settings.
    5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
    6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
    I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

  • IChat AV doesn't work with M-Audio Firewire audio interface

    I saw similar topics to this but none dealing with a Firewire audio interface and none with exactly the same problem.
    Every other piece of software I use works with the M-Audio Firewire Solo, except for iChat AV. When it is the selected output device and I start a video chat with someone, I get just horrible, loud static when the person on the other end speaks.
    Running 10.4.10 on a Macbook Pro (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).
    Does anyone know of incompatibility issues with iChat and Firewire interfaces?

    In Audio MIDI Setup (In applications/Utilities) the setting for my Mic is 44100khz 1Ch 16bit.
    The Internal Audio connection also shows up at 44100Khz 2Ch 16bit
    Are you looking in the same place or in the device itself ?
    I would set it in the Audio MIDI Setup and then make sure it responds in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab.
    Once the Blue bar moves to at least halfway there I would then check iChat > Preferences > Video Section to see if the green bar under the Vido pics is moving.

  • My iPod doesn't work with car audio (Alpine CDA 101E)

    From the manual, my Alpine head unit supports iPod nano 3rd Gen (*version 1.1*).
    My iPod is nano 3rd Gen but *ver 1.1.3 PC*
    Please give me some suggestion to solve this problem.
    Alpine CDA 101E is the product of 2008 or 2009. This iPod is 2007 product.
    I think it should work together, right?
    I've try another iPod with very old Generation to my Alpine, it worked!
    Thank you in advance

    I had the same problem when trying to dock with a Volkswagen Jetta wagon and its factory iPod dock cable.
    Same problem trying both Kenwood and Pioneer dock cables in an auto-sound store.
    Why would Apple mess with the multipin connector? What's the solution?
