Edit a voice over

I am a new user to imovie 08. I am laying down voice over and want to cut it into two so that I can move part of it under a different clip. I hope I am clear with my question. In the old imove program all audio could simply be cut into as many sections as you wanted and moved exactly where you wanted them. In 08 it looks like you need to record, then stop and record a new section. Is this true? Or can is record, cut the strip and move it? Please help.

You can still use iMovie 06.
iMovie HD 6 allows very precise alignment of multiple audio clips, and 'frame-accurate' positioning and chopping of video clips.
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

Editing a Voice Over Track

Hi:
Simple task. How do you do it? I have a VO track that has too many silent spaces. I want to be able to edit out the silent spaces so the VO is more fluid. How do edit out the silent, and join one piece of voice to the next pick up o the voice?
Any answer greatly appreciated.

Fallout 4 footage, edited without voice over and some new footage(I think?)

I'm so pumped for this, but I'll admit that I haven't played Fallout 3, I've only played New Vegas. Seems like something I need to play first...

The first bit is something we've probably all seen, but I've never seen the town footage. check it out :o

Voice Over Recording Edit view vs Multitrack View

Hi Guys, need some advice here.
I have always recorded Voice Overs in edit view with Audition 3.0 (Windows 7 64bit)
Recently I purchased a Creative sound card (X-Fi Titanium HD) which sounds great and records 24/96Khz with great results using several different microphones, mainly a EV RE20.
I have the main outputs of my mixer left and right coming out using 1/4 inch cables and going into the soundcards Aux left and right inputs via RCA..
In Auditions audio hardware setup edit view, there is only a choice for either Aux left or Aux right but not a mix of both as a input. (using Aux left)
Not using the mic input on the card because I wanted to use the RCA ins (Left/Right) on the soundcard and the mic input is a single 1/8 input which would require another Y 1/4 to 1/8 cable and the fact that I have had issues with 1/8 inputs before.
So, when I record Voice Overs in edit view, I think I"m really getting only half the signal (Aux left) which means I need to up the gain on the preamp more than I would like to get a good level.
Recently, I have been recording in multitrack view using Track 1 Aux left and Track 2 Aux right and then doing a mixdown to mono which results in a nice strong level without having to boost the gain to much.
So I guess my questions would be am I in fact only recording half the signal in edit view by just using Aux left
and if that is true, should I just continue to record in multitrack view using the setup I decribed above.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have always heard that if you just raised the level using gain you take the chance of also introducing more noise in the signal and I was wanting to avoid that.
The short and sweet answer to this is that once you've recorded the signal, the amount of noise is fixed. But what you have to do to optimise this is called 'gain staging'. In the case of your preamp, this invariably means that you set the gain so that the clipping indicator (I take it that it has one?) indicates that you've got it just lower than it takes to light it on the loudest sound you want to record. With these signals present, you then set the input level control on your sound device (not the same as gain) so that it records these signals at around -5 to -10dB, in a controlled environment. In a non-controlled environment you'd allow a bit more than that. This gap between the -10dB and 0dB is called 'headroom'.
So basically, you are recording the best signal to noise ratio you can get from your preamp at the best level you can with your sound device. And that, by definition, is optimum.

How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?

How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x? Sorry if this is a newbie question. I have been editing in final Cut express on my MacBook Pro and just jumped to a new iMac and Final Cut ProX. Trying to record my own voice on a Yeti mic and import it as narration for a video. Thought I could simply import media but X has it greyed out.

Sharing with iTunes is OK, but it is likely to produce a file in MP3 or AAC, which can cause problems. You can create an AIFF version of an MP3 file in iTunes and use that.
To create an AIFF version, go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General Tab. Click the Import Settings button. Choose Import Using: AIFF Encoder. Then choose your track, and click FILE/CREATE AIFF Version. Use this in FCPX. Be sure to go back into iTunes Preferences and set the import options back to where you had it, so the next time you rip an CD it does not make an AIFF.

How can I record a voice over and save as MP3?

Good morning! I do voice overs. In my studio I STILL have a PC and use adobe audition. For my day to day business I know have a MAC BOOK PRO. I am going on vacation and need to record on my MacBook Pro with Garage Band.
I have successfully set up my Mic(studio Projects C1) and my travel PreAmp (MAudioDuo) to record in Garage Band. All I need is dry voice. I have recorded a track but need to save is as an MP3. The test track I recorded is about 15 seconds long but yet plays for 30 seconds...I have deleted everything after the voice but it still seems like the track is longer. I have to put in MP3 format. How do I do this? This is a nice program but looks like it is too much for what I need it to do. So, any other recommendations on more appropriate software is appreciated if needed.

move the end of project marker to the 15 second mark:

when you "share" it, tick the Compress checkBox

any audio editor could be used as well:

How do i trim a voice over recording in imovie?

I am making an imovie with the most recent updated imovie software. I have recorded about 30 minutes of voice over...now I need to trim it as there are bloopers and mistakes...it is possible to edit that recorded voice over or no? I can't seem to find a way to do it.HELP, PLEASE!!!

This worked in the previous version, and I believe it still works, but I have not tested.
Select the Voiceover track. Move the playhead to where you want to split the track and type command-shift-s.
Move to the other trim point and type command-shift-s. Now you can delete the portion you wanted to trim.

Copy and paste using Voice Over

Hello,
I use Voice Over on Leopard 10.5 and am having problems using cut, copy, and paste via Finder.
1. Command+X for cut never seems to work. The CUT option in the Finder edit menu is always dimmed.
2. Finder seems to always hang if I paste a file into a folder which contains a file with the same name as the file I am trying to paste. Sometimes, but not always, I get an Alert with buttons to replace the file or to stop the copy. Alas using vo keys + SpaceBar or even vo keys + Shift + SpaceBar to activate either of these buttons never seems to work.
Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a Leopard bug here?
Many thanks.

To quote an old joke, "it's not a bug, it's a feature!"
The Finder does not allow you to Cut an object. `This is because if there were a crash during the operation, the object might be lost both from its source and its destination. You simply have to copy the object (Command-C), then paste it (Command-V), then return to the source folder and delete the object.

Here the procedure requires you to interact with the Alert dialogue box three times in a row. After the first interaction, you hear "Interact with. List operation progress, group"; after the second time, you hear "Interact with. Operation progress, group, 3 items unknown"; after the third time, you hear "Interact with. Unknown. 3 items. An item named (filename) already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving?". You can then navigate once right to the Stop button, or twice to the Replace button.

Video jerky after adding voice-over

The video imports nicely, but when I do voice-over using a Logitech headphone, the video portion becomes jerky. Something similar was discussed in the forum about a year ago, but it appears that nothing was resolved? Would appreciate help on this. Thanks

always convert and AIFF files to MP3 first..... only have about 20 audio clips, but they're mostly voice over and AIFF files.
No. iMovie converts MP3 format to AIFF anyway. Some have found more stuttering problems with voice-overs.
I'm stuck right now with a half hour video that i managed to finishe editing but can't play or export to tape without terrible stuttering
If you have enough space on your hard drive, you can 'share' your finished movie as QuickTime Full Quality. Import this QT movie into a new iMovie project. It should now play without stuttering, allowing you to export it back to DV tape. If the QT movie plays fine, you can delete the original iMovie.
You can add chapter markers and use this version for iDVD.
I use this method all the time. Sometimes I have had to create QT movie version three times when editing a long or complex iMovie. Even before adding audio, my movies will skip/stutter on playback if I have lots of transitions/effects/total clips. I have learned to edit the movie by cropping the video clips first, adding stills, doing transitions and titles/effects, and adding the audio last. If it starts to skip with the addition of the first audio clip, I delete that clip, share as quicktime, and then work on the quicktime version in a new iMovie and go ahead with adding the audio to that.

My iMovie voice recording is suddenly not working. As I record, it shows the green bars; however, when I play the recording it does not play my voice over at all nor show the green bars. I was mid-way through my project when this problem occured.

As far as I can see, it's random. Everything. Nothing makes any sense!
A the moment, the iPhone is playing music with the SIM card, but without anything plugged into it, but it's occasionally fading in and out.
Oh, and I doubt this is related, but about two months ago the iPhone failed to show that the battery was draining - it was stuck at 100%. This went on for a few days, it wouldn't even warn me at the 20% mark, it would just shut off. This happened for at least three full charges - I remember at one point it suddenly started working again at about the 70% mark, I'm not sure if it was alright after that or if it went glitchy on the next charge... but in any case, the problem mysteriously never reappeared after those few days.

Where does FCP store the voice-overs/narration clips?

Just did a 'my bad'.
Just left the distant remote location where I've been editing a film for three months. Used the voice-over function on FCP extensively. But, ooops, forgot to go find the subsequent files in whatever folder FCP stores them in, and transfer them to the drive I'm now traveling with (that supposedly should have the whole film on it).
I wonder if someone could steer me to where FCP automatically stores it's voice-over files once recorded?
Would be much appreciated,
Ben

Thank you Studio X and Nick,
Duh. And silly of me not to soooo carefully go through the Capture Scratch before leaving that little island in the North Atlantic.
Now I have to remind myself how to access a computer remotely, get someone to turn on the beast parked in a beautiful little white church hanging over the North Atlantic ... with a hundred wild caribou in the meadow behind, I kid you not, every day. I could stand there and watch them from 30 feet away for hours. Cool caribou.
Much appreciated,
Ben

Possible? Live SDI feed recorded straight into timeline. In the same way as Voice Over does.

Hi
Im not sure if this feature exists but its definitely technically capable and would revolutionise the way I work and I'm sure lots of others.
I'm a music video director and the majority of the time work with take after take of performances.
Basically - in the exact same way the 'Voice Over' tool works but with a live video feed via SDI using a thunderbolt adapter.
And in a more complicated way -
What I'd like to be able to do is to have an FCP project open with the master audio in place.
Then, whilst camera connected via SDI, hit play in the timeline (so band hear playback audio for sync) and let FCP record the live picture coming in. Then upon cutting, a new clip would be placed directly on the timeline at the correct time to the sync of the music.
Then for each take after that, it would create a new layer/track so it builds up these takes.
One major benefit here rather than just having immediate sync would be that we could start playback and record at any point in the song and then be able to quickly check if it works with whatever else is happening in the edit.
MANY MANY thanks if anyone can help with this.

Hi Tom
Of course - thats why I mentioned using the Thunderbolt adapter (like http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/ultrastudiothunderbolt)
Do you understand what I mean about being able to play the timeline and record into at the same time? Instantly see how the various 'takes' look and even being able to see how it looks when it cuts into the next/precious clip. Would be great no?

Driving Automator using Voice Over

Hello,
I am visually impaired and so use Voice Over for all MAC access. I am trying to create a workflow to speak the current time. Using Voice Over without sighted assistance I can access the required actions and variables but alas I cannot fathom out how to combine the actions into a workflow. I cannot find an edit area or whatever where I can view the actions so far and move them around as necessary.The MacHelp tells me to drag and drop the necessary actions and variables into the panel on the right (or words like that) but, of course, I cannot do that using Voice Over. I tried copy and paste but to no effect, primarily because I could not find the place to paste the actions into.
So if anyone has successfully driven Automator using Voice Over without sighted help then please pass on your tips!
Many thanks.

All I can suggest is to look at the instructions in the Users Guide. There is a lot on VoiceOver. See chapter 31 of

How can i import abbreviations in text to speech without using voice over?

Hi, I have recently discoverd text to speech on my macbook, and I like what it can do. I would like to edit the way it pronounces some abbreviations. I discovered this was possible with voiceover. I would like to do this even when voice over is turned off so I can highlight a text i want to read on a pdf and it would read everything as I want it to. Maybe there is a third party app that makes this possible?(This could come in handy when I want something to use it for biology books where there are a lot of abbreviations used, like ADP/ATP/NHDAP/...)

Hi,
You can load your data automatically in the Multisim word generator. Follow these steps:
- Save your data file (in excel .xslx ir .csv format) on your computer
- Change the extension of the file to ".dp"
- Double-click the word generator in Multisim and click on Set...
- In the Settings dialog box, click on Load and then Accept
- This will prompt you to select the .dp file you have on your computer, select it and you're good to go
However, in Multisim you have the option of creating your own custom simulation analysis and instrument.
I will try creating the instrument and send it back to you but it might take some time.
Multisim and LabVIEW are very powerful in test automation, with the custom instruments you create for Multisim you don't need to export your data file into excel from LabVIEW (or MathCAD or other tools) and then reload it into Multisim. The test procedure is automated instead.
Please check this reference design about automated simulation
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7825
Here is how you can create your own custom measurement tool in Multisim and LabVIEW, but as I mentioned, I will create the word generator and come back to you anyways
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5635
Let me know if you have any questions.
