Edit by audio clips on iMovie 11

I have video interviews that I'm editing, which is difficult because I can't rely on visuals to tell me where to cut—no one's moving much, they're just talking. Is there a way of enlarging the audio line so i can see the spikes and dips a little clearer. Any other tips would be appreciated. I'm new to iMovie. Thanks.

I've seen one suggestion relating to Revealing the Clip in the Finder. Try this:
Go to the Reject Clips by clicking on the pulldown menu at the bottom where it says Show: (choose Rejected Clips Only). Then <CTRL> click on on of the red striped thumbnails choose Reveal in Finder. When the Finder window launches, your clip will be highlighted. Select it and drag it to the trash.
Quit iMovie, then relaunch it and go back to the Show: (Rejected Clips Only) see if that clip is now missing from the list of Rejected Clips. If this works and your Project file still plays back successfully I would say it's safe to continue deleting as needed. But if you have some problems and the Project has been affected there might be another reason you cannot delete the clips.
iPhoto Videos are not deletable in the traditional iMovie Rejected Clips kind of way. They are under full control and jurisdiciton of iPhoto. And as a result, iMovie is not allowed to do anything other than 'copy' or re-use them in a Project. Deletion of iPhoto Videos in iMovie will not work. So your only real option is to try deleting them from iPhoto instead. So just be aware of where your video clips are located in the iMovie Event Library and everything should be OK.

Just curious as to why it's coming up as a copyright violation?
Hard to say. I think FaceBook errs on the side of abundance caution when they detect anything that sounds like music.
It's also possible to that people use samples of various pieces of iLife audio contest to create a piece of work that they then copyright.

Udio to my clip. When I bring it over it highlights the entire clip as opposed to adding it above or below. Then I can't edit the audio clip. HELP!!

Just discovered this nifty little bug myself today. Boy, Leopard is really bug city, I'm definitely regretting the upgrade. I was glad to find the 'show in mailbox' trick, although then once I went to re-send the message, it duplicated it for some reason and sent it twice, so now my business contact thinks I'm a moron because I sent him this super large attachment TWICE thanks to moronic Mail.app.
Another interesting thing though, is that after finding the email via 'show in mailbox' and opening it, it actually displayed the MP3 attachment as the old Tiger quicktime player (w/progress bar) as opposed to when I first composed the message and it would only display it as an icon. I thought they had just removed that feature for some reason, but nope! Another bug!

Trying to add spoken audio clip to iMovie with my internal microphone

Hi, I am creating an iMovie which is comprised of images. I am trying to record poems on my MacBook Pro with the internal microphone, so that I can add an audio clip to the movie. I have OS X, so can't use "Simple Sound".
Can someone suggest how I can add a spoken audio clip to an iMovie? Do I need to buy new software to utilize the internal microphone?
Thanks,
Diana

Lots of wonderful options.
Audacity,(http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac) is a free audio recorder, that lets you edit out background room noises. Just make the audio file and import into iMovie.
Imovie 9/11 has a voiceover function, that lets you record your voice. You can import a voice file in iMovie 9 or 11, put beat markers in and then import images that will sync with your markers.
Imovie 06 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/6.0/en/imv1077.html) easily lets you sync images with a voiceover.
Keynote lets you make a movie by doing a voiceover with your images.
I participated in several projects doing this kind of digital storytelling, and found iMovie 06 the easiest to use. I suggest, if you have the time, going to YouTube and researching digital storytelling and various forms of iMovie, or going to apple's tutorials. All Macs come with an internal mike that works with included software. Hugh

How to cut unwanted section of audio clip in iMovie 09.

I had some problem removing section of audio clip that are too long for the movie. I finally found out how to do it. Here's how. Hope this will help others.
1.Using the playhead, find the area in which you want to cut the audio and place the playhead there.
2.Click on Edit - Split Selected Audio Clip at Playhead. This will automatically split the audio clip into two separate clips. Continue to do this until you create a segment that you wish to use.
3.Delete the extraneous segments by clicking on them and pressing delete.

Do you really have iMovie 08? I could give you the answer for iMovie 11 and FCP X, but if you are on iMovie 08, I assume you are backlevel on FCP as well?

Can I edit a video clip in imovie?

I'm new to mac, and I know I am being stupid here, but is there no editing functionality in imovie11. I am referring to editing the actual clip, rather than a project.

Editing Multiple Audio Clips From Premiere in Audition

Hi there,
I am working with video/audio in Premiere that has frequent cuts (although the audio is derived from two files) and I need to edit all the audio files at once, rather than one by one, in Audition. I was hoping to this by nesting the audio in Premiere but I am not able to edit the nested file in Audition after this.
If anyone has any ideas of how to work with and apply the same properties to multiple audio clips from Premiere in Audition I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks...

Hi everyone, I also have a trouble with cs6. I just record 3 tracks in the early today, then when I got home, I saved as sexs file ( wrong decision). After that, I went back and try to open the file, it can't file the recording tracks. The only one thing still exist is my beat, what should I do to recovered it? thanks for helping me out of this.

How can I import "extracted audio" clips from iMovie project into iTunes?

Export audio clip from iMovie?

Is it possible to export an audio clip that I recorded in iMovie to iTunes or GarageBand? I have a couple of recorded sounds in one of my iMovies that I'd like to use in another movie.

1. Choose File->Export...
2. Click the Quicktime icon at the top of the export dialog
3. In the Compress movie for: popup menu, choose Expert Settings. Click Share.
4. In the new dialog box, set the Export popup menu to "Sound to AIFF".
5. Click the options button and select: Format - Linear PCM, Channels - Stereo, Rate - 48.000kHz, Quality - Normal, Sample size: 16 bits. Leave the other checkboxes unchecked. Click OK. (Next time you can use "Most Recent Settings" because it will remember what you did.)
6. Give it a name and navigate to where you want to save it. Then click Save.
7. Import the AIFF file into your new movie.

How to i split audio clips? Imovie 11

I'm trying to split a voice over audio clip I recorded in Quicktime and imported into my project. I can't find the precision editor nor can I select the clip and activate the split clip command under the Clip menu. It's dim. I cannot find out how to split it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I'm using iMovie 11.

Using iMovie 11 on Mac 10.8.3, when I right-click on a sound track, this is the menu I see:
No 'split clip'.

Edit audio clip for imovie '09

I want to edit out about 14 seconds of the beginning of a song and
use it in imovie.
how do i do this?

Another way is to do it in iMovie. After dragging the full track into iMovie, simply drag the ends in to shorten the track to the section you want. Then reposition (by dragging) that section to the appropriate spot in your movie.
Just to be clear - when you drag a song into iMovie, drop it onto a thumbnail (not the background) near the position you wish it to play. A green coloured bar will appear just below the thumbnails. This bar can be manipulated as described above.
If you wish to fine tune, use the Clip Trimmer. Access this by clicking on the small gear icon at the beginning of the track. In the panel that opens select "Clip Trimmer" - a window opens showing the waveforms for the audio track. You can drag the yellow handles to highlight/select the piece you want to play. As you do this, you can view the associated video clip in the viewer at the top right of your screen.

Can I make more than one edit in a clip in Imovie?

I converted a VHS tape to an MPEG 4 file and wish to edit multiple portions of it. The tape was converted and is only in one clipping. I'm new to IMovie and can't seem to be able to make more than one edit. Where have I gone wrong or is it not possible? Any help would be appreciated.

This info was essential - iMHD6 aka 'iMovie-a' was a totally different app compared to iMovie-b, versions 08, 09 or the actual vers11, which are the main theme on this board ...-
afair, select the clip in the 'bin' on the right hand side.
select your in- and Out-point in the large Preview window with the sliders or by simply hitting the keys i and o
drag from the preview window into your timeline

Why does FlexTime appear when I try to edit an audio clip in GarageBand 11?

Hello,
I just upgraded to GarageBand '11 and in the past you could highlight audio and clip, edit, and delete selected waveforms (As seen here: http://cl.ly/2wR6). Now, this just seems to invoke FlexTime!
How do I highlight and clip audio like in the past?
Thanks!

How can I cut audio clips within iMovie?

This may be a simple solution but I just can't seem to figure it out. I would like to add audio (music) to just the beginning of my iMovie project. But whenever I drop a music file into the timeline, it stretches it all the way through the entire movie.
Also, I'd like to know how to only adjust my voice to certain clips of the movie, and not the whole entire timeline.

If you only want the sound clip for a set period of time, drag it on top of one of the video clips near the beginning that will prevent the audio from becoming a 'background music clip'. Grab the title bar of that clip in the Project window and drag it until the whole background area changes from purple/green to the normal dark grey color of the Project window. Same would apply to your voice clips as well, just drag those sound clips right on the very middle of the thumbnail image of the video clip, and then slide it around to where it needs to be by dragging it to the left or right.

Premier Pro 2014 opens Audition CS6 when editing audio clip from Premier

I own Adobe CS6 Master Collection installed (for legacy projects) and I also have the CC subscription. When I am running Premier Pro CC 2014 and then try to edit an audio clip in Audition the CS6 version of Audition loads rather than the CC 2014 version. Any help or thoughts on why this is happening would be appreciated.

I detected this with photoshop--I think its an OS issue--The OS doesn't appear to recognize the two versions are different. In my case, I had PSP CC loaded, but then loaded the 32 bit version of PSP CS6 (so I could scan directly into the program using "IMPORT") Windows changed the default to the 32 bit version. When I tried to change default using windows, windows would not show the CC version as an option--just the 32 bit version. Without editing the registry, I couldn't find a way to force windows to ignore the 32 bit version and open the CC version. My workaround was to always open the CC version from the icon and then click on the file I wanted open. It appears that if any version of the program is already running, the recognized default won't open. This might work for you on Audition.
