Export audio iMovie to GarageBand

I recorded video of some live music and would like to export the audio (song) from the video into GarageBand so that I can put it on a cd or make an mp3. I am brand new to Mac- clueless. Is this even possible- if so, how do I do it?
THANKS in advance!!!

If you have it in imvoie already just click Share > Export using quicktime then in Export settings choose sound to AIFF. You can then drop it in itunes to convert to mp3 or make a CD.
Or open garageband start a new movie project drag the movie file in and as hangtime said delete the movie track.
And I'm not sure if this works only in Quicktime Pro or regular Quicktime but open in quicktime and export as mp3 or AIFF.

Is it possible to export a video from GarageBand to iMovie, Soundtrack or FinalCut?

Wondering if it's possible when you make a video/movie and you've saved it in GarageBand, to export the video to iMovie, Soundtrack of FinalCut?
thanks,
Lorna

First of all, you don't save a video in GarageBand.
You can import a vidoe file into a GarageBand Project
You can add music, sf, or anything else to that video
At the end you use the "Export Audio to Movie" command.
THe result is a quicktime movie file (you can choose the format in a dialog window). That video file can be imported into any video editing software, including iMovie. There is no need to export it to iTunes.
If you have the video already in iMovie. then you cold export only the audio in GarageBand and import that audio file back into iMovie. Just make sure that they stay in sync.
Hope that helps

Exporting from imovie has no audio

I am trying to export my imovie to different formats and each time I cannot hear any audio on the exported file, What gives?
I have tagged both audio channels in the timeline.
I have checked the EDIT VOLUME button also.
Nothing works.
Is the problem with imovie or quicktime player?
I'm using imovie version 3.03
I'm using quicktime player version 7.0.4
Mac G4, Dual 450's Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I think you are trying to import the wrong type of clips...
As I said before--iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips

Audio drops when movie exported from iMovie into iDVD

Hi there,
I am a problem which I can't seem to fix.
I have created a 7 minute long slideshow in imovie with MP3 files from iTtunes embedded. The video and audio are fine when exported as a MOV file (and within iMovie itself). But when exported into iDVD for burning, the audio drops out completely after 3 and a half minutes.
I've tried updating iMovie, iDVD etc., deleting encoded assets as it says to do here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24043?viewlocale=en_US
to no avail.
Does anyone have any tips? My friend's wedding is on Saturday!
Thanks so much.

Hi
A. I do not use "Share to iDVD" - BUT "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other res.) - Works much better.
B. When did it hang ?
a. On Export from iMovie to iDVD
b. When DVD is played on DVD-Player
If last one - then
• What brand of DVD did You use (Yes it matters)
• What type of DVD
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk - How much
• Burn speed - did You set down this - I do to x2 or x4

Losing audio when exporting from imovie to real player

I've been trying to export imovie to real player- the video goes across fine, but there is no audio. And i can actually export audio to real player by itself and it plays fine.
So video or audio fine; but i can't seem to get them both!
I'd be very grateful for any help or tips.
Cheers,
Will

Is CS5 patched to 7.0.4?
Is the image on a master page?
Is it visible when you switch to Preview mode?

Lost video after exporting audio from mpeg-4

I have some mpeg-4 files of my band and wished to improve the audio. I chose the Export Audio option and yes, managed to create an audio only file but seem to have lost the video. Have I lost it permanently or is it still lurking somewhere? I suspect that I might have to reimport this particular file so having done this how would you recommend splitting the audio and video, editing the audio (I use Logic 9) and then putting them back together? Or is there another option?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You could do this in either iMovie or GarageBand.
I would open a new GarageBand Instrumental Project. Drag your TV show file into GarageBand. Then save the project to an audio only codec such as AAC or MP3.
In iMovie, you would use SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME and pick an audio only codec.

Idvd pixelated when exported from imovie

DVD looks great on imac but dvd is pixelated once exported from imovie and put on dvd using IDVD.
Any suggestions

Welcome to the forums, Alison.
I'm not a GarageBand user, but couldn't you export the GB audio tracks as a Quicktime file, and then import that audio track into iMovie? If it's combined in iMovie, then it should import into iDVD without a conceptual hitch.

Volume Meters: iMovie vs Garageband

Hi all
I really need some help with this...
I am trying to create some music video files for a performance at the end of March using Garageband to create the audio then exporting the audio then importing it into iMovie.
However, I am running into an issue...
Basically when I am creating my audio in Garageband I ensure that the volume meter is not going into the Yellow/Red to ensure there is no distortion when played through a PA system... however, after exporting the music file then importing it into iMovie the track in iMovie is going into the yellow and red again forcing me to turn the audio down again, however, I am worried that I am going to loose too much volume and the videos will be too quiet when played through the PA system. Could anybody advise.
Please note that I have tried exporting the audio out of Garageband both with and without normalisation, both give same results just with the normalised track going more into the yellow/red than the non-normalised track.
Thanks
James

Yes, that's my suggestion.
That's the way it's "done" in the professional world.
I've used GarageBand a bit, but I'm not familiar with the normalization feature.

This pops up when exporting in iMovie "Unable to prepare project for publishing: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (ParamErr: error in user parameter list)" I have turned off my Time Machine in terminal.

This pops up when exporting in iMovie "Unable to prepare project for publishing: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred.

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
jonorparkerjon
After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

Best method for exporting from iMovie?

I have been having a lot problems with exporting from iMovie. I have a 30 minute movie that I want to compress to a file around 400~500mbs. I found the best results with Divx and .Avi files. Unfortunately, after I installed Tiger, I noticed that the audio was faster than the video, like " old kung-fu movies ".
I read in other forums that there are many problems with Divx compatibilty with Tiger. Whie waiting for a new version of Divx, can anyone give me some advice on the best way to export a movie from iMovie( good audio and video quality) thanks in advance!!

Screen recording becomes blurry after exporting to iMovie

After creating a screen recording using Quicktime (and the video is perfectly clear), I am trying to export to iMovie to edit the video more easily and to add an audio track. However, once the video is turned into an iMovie project, it is blurry. Still blurry after stabilization too. Please help!

After creating a screen recording using Quicktime (and the video is perfectly clear), I am trying to export to iMovie to edit the video more easily and to add an audio track. However, once the video is turned into an iMovie project, it is blurry. Still blurry after stabilization too.
Is this a minimum information guessing game? Is this a "full" or "partial" screen recording? What are the actual dimensions of the screen capture? Was the capture made using QT or a third-party app? Did you perform a manual or automatic "export" or simply import the screen capture file to iMovie? In what type iMovie project are you editing the exported or imported screen captured file? Why are you stabilizing a screen recording? (I.e., the stabilization routine further rescales the content.)
If I were merely to make a guess, It would be that your work flow is rescaling the content making it blurry in iMovie as compared to the original capture file.

Problems with exporting audio music video to QuickTime

In iMovie I made this audio music video, combining music with photos and audiovisual clips. In iMovie I muted the original sounds of the photos and audiovisual clips. Yet after exporting the audio music video to QuickTime, parts of the original soundtrack can still be heard, some of it in the right place, some are scattered out at random. I have exported audio music videos from iMovie to QuickTime before - consisting of music and audiovisual clips - and then I had not theses issues. Can somebody explain to me what I can do to mute the original soundtrack in QuickTime? I don't want this original soundtrack to spoil the audio music video when I upload it to Youtube.
Thanks in advance

There is a bug in iMovie 09 that produces weird audio artifacts when you use speed changes (fast or slow motion) that do not conform to the preset tick marks of 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%, etc.
If you are using custom speed percentages like 58% or 139%, change them to one of the presets, and that will fix the sound.

Export audio to movie - not compatible mp4 !

Hi, I thought Logic X would solve compatibility issues with movie files but I can't "Export Audio to movie" with this format:
AVC Coding, 1280 x 720
AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
Logic X seems to do it but spits out files about 21KB small.
Anyone noticed this and knows a solution that does not mean converting the mp4 into a different format? This is terrible, I work with different quicktime files every day..
Thanks folks,
Malte

Hi Anton
This is a known bug in Logic on the intel macs. We're all hoping this will be fixed in the next version!
There are a few workarounds...
bounce the audio for your movie. Open it in Quicktime pro. Open the movie in QT pro and you can join the movie and audio with a bit of trial and error.
Easier perhaps, is to use imovie to import the movie and audio separately and then export the movie from there. That's what i normally do.
As i said, it's a workaround - but it's better than nothing!
Hope that helps

'Export audio to movie' not working properly

Hi, when I 'export audio to movie' in Linear PCM format the audio from the original video plays along side the music I have written in Logic X. The audio track from the video is muted apart from where I've used some of the original audio on a new track. How do I get it so that just my music plays along with the video?
Thanks,
Jonny H
