Ducking without fade??

I am trying to make a video for youtube. This video is going to consist of pictures and a audio track. Now I am trying to put some video on there in key parts and want to use the audio from the video instead of the audio track. I have changed the audio settings to duck the other track and put the fade at 0.0secs but the underlying track still fades out and back in for like 2 seconds. How do I get it to drop out and then cut right back in with no fade???

well what I have basically done is garageband a bunch of music, but then wanted to put in some live videos instead of having the music play with pictures. So the videos are actually going over the music track. But I have decided that I want the audio from the video to play instead of the music from the CD that I mixed in garageband. I assumed that if I ducked it and put the fade to 0.0secs that it wouldn't fade but I guess I am wrong.
So what you're telling me is I have to cut the audio track and delete it in any part where I want to put these videos?

  • Fade out without fade in??

    hi, i need to make fade-outs, without having a fade-in. but i can't find any option for that; a fade-out seems to be connected automatically to a fade-in. Can anyone help me out on this?

    technically spoken, iMovie has no fade-out.
    dissolve, or transition thru black ...
    The work-around Bengt recommends is the only way to fade to black AND starting the next scene without a fade-in.
    But ………
    due to iM's inherent rule
    "a transitions length is max half length of shortest clip involved"
    this workaround adds some 'black' to that fade-out!
    if the fade is 2sec, before the next clip there are 2sec of black - no 'fade-out, cut' ....
    when you shorten the black, the fade gets shorten too....

  • [Audigy 2 ZS] Mute without fadi

    Because I couldn't find a post related to my question, I now try to make one myself.
    My Question: Is it possible to deactivate or at least speed up the fade-out on my Audigy 2 ZS which appears when a source is muted? Perhaps by a registry tweak or changing some files in the installation directory?
    The reason: My Tv-Pci-Card mutes the source (Auxiliary in this case) as I switch the channel. This happens to avoid strange noise like snaps or something like this. (Don't know exactly how to describe it in English)
    Because the fade-out of the volume isn't fast enough I will hear now a loud crack/snap each time I switch the channel.
    Unfortunately the TV-Software doesn't offer an option to solve this problem.
    My Hardware: Audigy 2 ZS, WinXp Sp3, Winfast TV2000 Xp Expert. All drivers are the most recent version.
    By the way I'm sorry for mistakes in the text, my english isn't the best...

    Dbr,
    There should be no problems, the cards for the plat. and standard are the same. If it is a Platinum Pro that would be a bit different, but the standard platinum will give you not troubles. Just don't loose any of your cables in case you decide to use it later.

  • Looping without Fade in/out clicks

    Hi
    I would like to play a simple sine wave sound continuously so that it lasts one minute instead of the current 500ms. However, when I loop it I get little clicks where the beginning of the sound file fades in/out. The same clicks appear when I copy/paste it, and I don't know how to get rid of them. See attached picture to see what it looks like. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this.
    Thanks
    -Darym

    You need to edit it so that it joins up at a Zero Crossing point. Should be simple if it is a true sine wave, no crossfade should be necessary. Make sure that you have snapping to Zero Crossings turned on and you zoom in far enough to see the zero crossing.

  • Fade effect with DataGrid. Header text are visible ... :(

    Hi,
    the problem with DataGrid.
    If I specify the Fade effect for showing DataGrid, all lines
    are showing correct, so the fade works, but the headers text and
    the data texts are showing immediately (like without Fade).
    Is it possible to avoid this effect? I want to show my
    datagrid from alpha 0.00 to 1.00 for ALL elements (for lines, for
    headers, for headers TEXT and of course of data TEXT)
    Is it a bug?

    I had the same problem. I havent fixed it but I did a work
    around and used a WipeDown effect in parallel. It eliminates the
    headers of appearing immediately.

  • Auto fade on both ends?

    When I do an Overwrite with transition, it only adds a fade at the front of the clip. Is there a way to make FCP add a transition at both ends automatically?
    I'm using the latest version of FCP.

    Perhaps not as simple as what you're asking for but... Edit your clips into your sequence without fades. Define dip to color with the correct parameters as your default transition, Select all your clips in the timeline, make sure your position is at the beginning of the clips and drag them to the canvas to overwrite with transition. word to the wise: Duplicate your sequence before you try this as it's pretty easy to screw up your sequence if you make a mistake.

  • Cutting / Splitting Audio Clips, plus taking Fade OFF of audio clips

    Hi again all,
    I wanted to know if it's possible to split audio clips in two in iMovie '08? I can't seem to find a way to do it, and I've been trying to edit audio in Amadeus and trying to import again, but it's getting too complicated.
    Also--when two clips overlap, is it possible to take the Fade Off completely away, so that there is no fade at ALL? I tried playing with the ducking and fade sliders, but with no luck.
    Thanks in advance!
    --Melissa

    Melissa,
    to remove audio fade-in/fade-off from audio or video clip, select the clip, press A, toggle fade-in and fade-out to manual and drag both sliders to 0:00
    Here I'm just guessing what the actual name of the controls are in the english version of iMovie '08, mine is localized in italian.
    As per splitting an audio clip, I don't know how to do either.

  • Limited Options in Audio Adjustment Window - No Ducking???

    Okay.... So I just want to do some simple ducking. I click on my audio clip, I click on Adjust Audio and a window opens, but it's not the same window that I see in the video tutorials. All I get is the audio level adjustment and the option to normalize. No ducking, no fade in, no fade out.
    I attempted the moving of the com.apple.imovie7.plist file to my desktop, but nothing changes.
    What gives? Is there something I have to do to enable this feature?

    I gave that a shot as well. When clicking the audio icon on the video clip I get the same limited window. Only has volume control and normalize and remove normalization.
    Any other ideas? This is confounding me!

  • Acrobat XI Pro

    For work, I had to update my Microsoft Office (excel, word, outlook, etc.) to Office 2013.  Once I did the update, my Acrobat XI Pro no longer pops up in the tab to convert excel to pdf.  I figured out there was an update for Acrobat XI so I installed the update hoping this would fix my problem.  I restarted my computer and I still have the same issue.  I tried to go the long route by opening Acrobat and clicking "Create PDF".  When I search for the file that I want to convert, it doesn't show any of my files as "acceptable" files anymore.  Acrobat is a very important piece to my business, so I really could use your help in figuring out what to do to get my work life back.  Please help as soon as possible?!?!  I'm a sitting duck without this feature.  Thanks!

  • Audio - Extracting, Unextracting, Split Edits

    Hey, there:
    I've used iMovie 3 & 4 in the past for animated photos/slideshows for friends' wedding rehearsals - taking photos and using various fx and Ken Burns effect.
    Now I want to add video into the mix - my thought was to use a mix of stills and cut back and forth between them and the video. I've gone ahead and broken-up the video interview (45 minutes) into 40 clips, one for each question/section, and imported all the photos into iPhoto (which crashed every 5-10 minutes due to external editing in Photoshop - nice stablility, Apple!).
    My problem is confusion over doing true split edits; I want to be able to:
    - arrange the video in logical order, trimming the clips as need be
    - adding video title screens to ask questions
    (BTW - how to do still, centered titles w/ no fades? I'm doing them in Photoshop for now.)
    - overlaying photos on top of video, so that you get:
    TITLE -- VIDEO -- PHOTO -- VIDEO, with original video audio underneath, possibly coming in early under the Title Card.
    I guess I just want to be able to cut back and forth between photo and video without losing sync,
    It seems like the best way may be to use the "paste over at playhead" to insert the stills at the playhead, but this overwrites the original clip and splits the audio. Plus, it takes a ton of time - I'm working on a 2.0 GHz Intel iMac and this is taking 10 minutes to insert a 5-second title into a 30-second video clip!
    I've also thought about duplicating all my clips and letting it split the audio on each overnight; I'd then have the originals plus clips with extracted audio, but it won't let me drag the video AND audio into the clip bin, just the video. So, nope.
    Also - is there any way of simultaneously trimming a split audio and video? I can do both separately, but it doesn't keep the sync even when I lock the audio. I can drag them when they're locked, but not edit both in sync.
    This is completely frustrating - I feel screwed!
    Thanks in advance -

    Hi, Mark!
    I can't answer all of your questions, but whenever I am going to do "paste overs," I always extract the audio from my main track FIRST. It may take awhile depending on the length of your base clip, but I think you'll find this will make your inserts go a LOT faster.
    Also, I can't answer this definitively without the application open in front of me, but I think you can do title without fades by simply setting the fade slider for the effect to zero. Alternatively, you can create a regular title complete with fades then, while watching it in the main iMovie window, pause it when your title is showing fully and choose the menu command "CREATE STILL CLIP FROM VIDEO" (I forget which menu header it's under, but it shouldn't be hard to find). Then, you can set the duration of that still to last as long as you'd like.

  • Audio tracks no longer play, Help

    I have been working with a  dozen or so movies.  The video is set.  Audio clips come from several sessions using voiceover and narrative tracks imported from itunes.  Everything had been working well until today when I opened imovie11 to continue editing the sound tracks.    Most of the sound tracks do not play.  The movie inspector does not show any problems that I can see.  Volume is up on all of them, their is no ducking or fade. What could have happened?  Can I get the sound to play again and finish the movie? 
    Thank you,
    Desperate Here

    I should mention that I've installed some codecs in the last few weeks and perhaps this has caused Premier to stop importing audio tracks from AVIs? Is this a known issue?

  • IMovie Applying Effects

    Hi all,
    When i apply effects to clips, for example saturation, it applies it no problem, however as it gets towards the end of the clip it fades back to being 'uneffected' and then starts again on the next clip.
    I have applied the effects for the correct duration of the clip and yet this still happens.
    Am i doing something wrong as its very annoying!?
    Cheers!!!

    Hi Jason - I have only a Histogram/Saturation effect which displays a histogram on the screen as an overlay. If Effect In and Effect Out are set to 00:00 then it should be applied throughout selected clips, without fades. Other effects I tested work the same.
    Not sure why yours behave differently.

  • I movie 09 - unreadable data.

    I posted about problems I had getting Imovie09 to "see" my camera. I now have a different issue.
    The cam was being read by my mac - thru the finder. I copied and pasted the data from the cam to a folder on my mac. At this point I initialized my camera and took new video. Imovie 09 now pops up the import window to import the new video. When I send the old data from my mac to my camera, Imovie no longer sends me the import window. It just says please hook up a camera.
    So when the cam is initialized, Imovie works properly. So I guess when I send the old video clips back to my camera, the disk again becomes - not initialized -
    Is there any way to recover from this. I can view the video on my camera screen. I can initialize the drive but it deletes my video. I can upload the deleted video from my mac and see it again on the camera. But can't get Imovie to import it. Help !!!

    Hi
    I'm also from Perth
    Click on the options at the beginning of the track (looks like a cog) open audio adjustments and click manual fade or use "ducking to fade music when speaking.
    Hope this helps.

  • Voice Over Audio Problems

    Hey! I've been working with iMovie '08 for just short of a month now, and I've never had any problems; until now. I want to create a Voice Over, which I know how by clicking the Microphone button and then selecting the clip. I did the first one, which worked successfully, I could hear it completely fine. However with the second it recorded, and it showed the waveforms there in the Time Line. Which means it has recorded the sound, however when I go to preview the sound I am unable to hear it. I can hear all other audio (including the previous V.O) and audio from the clips I've filmed, but these. Please can anybody help. Here are my Voice Over statistics:
    Clip:
    Volume: 100%
    Ducking: Unticked
    Fade in, Fade Out, Equilizer and Enhance: Unticked
    Voice Over:
    Built In Microphone ( The little green bars move when I make a noise so it's picking up something)
    Input Volume: 100%
    Noise Reduction: -45db
    The other 2 are both unticked.
    Please help! Thank you so much!

    I am unable to mute the audio for Cut Away scenes that are added. It was working fine for one project but then new one it has stopped working. HELP Wake Up APPLE???

  • Control over .swf movie in browser

    I have a question.
    What should I change in the code of .swf movie clip to achieve the following:
    - .swf picture appears through fade-in effect at the first load in web-browser,
    on the page named e.g. /index.html (this is possible with the current code as below);
    - the same .swf picture appears without fade-in effect as static picture (appears the last frame of this .swf movie) on the page named, to say /index.fr.html
    I.e. it's required to skip to the last frame of the movie by clicking on /index.fr.html link.
    The code is as following:
    var picTotal:Number = 1;
    var lightSpeed:Number = 5;
    var delay:Number = 5000;
    var count:Number = 0;
    function init():Void {
    var white:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("wh", 10);
    with (white) {
    beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
    lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
    lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
    lineTo(0, Stage.height);
    lineTo(0, 0);
    endFill();
    white.blendMode = "add";
    showNext(white);
    function showNext(clip:MovieClip):Void {
    clip.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
    this._alpha -= lightSpeed;
    if(this._alpha<=0){
    delete this.onEnterFrame;

    Hi - I have a swf8 file that loads external swf- files - all
    in FL8 - and my main interface is in flex -
    In my fl8 swf i would hav a variable: var global_mc:MovieClip
    - my swf file will se them as being in the _root or level0 when the
    file first loads - but then they start to get messed up with flex -
    i.e. - the file loaded will show up as
    fl8: 5. created _root.testMC10
    on a test - but when I call the global_mc variable again
    later it gives me:
    _level0.Presentations0.mainPanel.contentPane.HDividedBox6.VBox41.mainTabCanvas.contentPan e.mainTab.contentPane.VBox47.swfLoaderMain.FlexLoader171.instance186.testMC10
    as its name - the problem is that I can still access
    properties like _x and _width, _name - but i cannot run functions
    on the MovieClip from within swf - i.e. global_mc.stop() and so
    on... Any solution????
    thx
