Exporting audio in GB iMovie Soundtrack project

I may have gone about this all wrong. I have an iMovie project to which I'd like to add a mixed soundtrack. I used GB to create a sound-over with external USB mike, and also added some music. GB is nice for this! And this is very convenient because I can watch the video play in the GB track info pane while I narate into the mike. Now I'd like to export the resulting audio only so I can use it (or not) in iMovie. But I don't see how.
Second (really dumb) question: how does one change one's e-mail address in the Apple Forums settings?
iMac G4 and iMac Intel Duo 24"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

THough I've never done this, I'd think an easy way would be to delete the video track and then Send Song to iTunes.

  • Can't export audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro

    I'm running FCP 5.0.2 and have Soundtrack Pro 1.0. I'm trying to export audio tracks from a long FCP project I'm working on to ST Pro to clean them up. As shown in Apple's online demo videos, I want to export an audio track and then remove 'pops' and do noise reduction, etc. In FCP I right click the audio track I want and go down to 'Send To' but the option for "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" is grayed out and I can't click it.
    If I unlink the tracks and then right click the audio track and 'Send To', the "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" isn't grayed out and looks like it would work. But that is only highlighting one audio track, not the other stereo track and not the video track. In the demo video all three were highlighted but when I relink all tracks and try to 'Send To' I get the grayed out "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" again.
    Is there something I need to do or a step I'm missing.

    You might be onto something Randy. I noticed in the Timeline if I tried to send an imported .AIF music clip to 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project' it would allow it and the option wasn't grayed out. So I looked in my Browser window and checked out the file attributes to every clip which are listed to the right of the names. Sure enough, under the AUDIO column the .AIF music files are listed as '1 Stereo' and the rest of my captured video clips are listed in the AUDIO column as '2 Mono'.
    So was there a setting for me to choose during Log and Capture that would have made them '1 Stereo' as opposed to '2 Mono'? Or is this a preference setting somewhere to change that for next time? They were recorded on my camera in stereo I'm pretty sure.
    Now in terms of the massive project I've already captured and edited, should I be able to export these mono tracks individualy and fix them as needed? When I click the 'Send to' 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project File' for these single mono tracks it asks me to 'Save' the file somewhere, is there a proper place to do this or just anywhere on the HD?
    Thanks

  • How to export audio track from iMovie '11

    I found that the sound from the video recording of a live band worked pretty well for my purposes (listening for problems). But I don't need the video itself for some things. Is it possible to just grab the audio from the video and save it as just a sound file? I tried messing with iMovie but couldn't figure out a way yet.

    You can detach the audio then copy and paste it around if you have other clips in the time line but if you want all the audio from a clip or group of clips put them in a project and do a custom QT export and export "Sound to AIFF file". Import that as an audio track in iTunes or drag directly on to another movie clip.

  • Exporting Audio/Voiceovers from iMovie?

    So, a while back I made a video using iMovie '08, and I had my boyfriend record some cello tracks for the video using the Voiceover option. Since then, I've learned how to use Final Cut Pro, and now I'm re-editing said video using Final Cut. I really want to use those cello tracks for the re-edit of the video, and I was wondering if there was a way for me to somehow get them off of the iMovie project? I tried simply clicking and dragging, and I tried to see if I could export them or something like that, but it didn't work. Is this even possible?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi
    I think it's the same procedure as in iMovie previous versions
    • Go to top menu-list
    • Select Share - Export
    • Select QuickTime -
    • and here QuickTime Expert mode -
    • and here As Audio only and .aiff
    • and save to desktop - easy to find
    Use this file in FinalCut - Works greatly

  • 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 can I replace the audio in my iMovie 11 project with one I import frome elsewhere?

    In the old imovie you can separate out the audio track, mute it, delete, replace it with one you prefer -- and easily make it line-up with the video, for example of a concert performance. Anyone know how to (even if by work-around) do the same with iMovie 11??

    Do the following:
    Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Us the app to back up the contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. 
    Delete your iCloud contacts by going to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.  This will delete the contacts from your iPad as well.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email on your iPad and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your phone to your iPad, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com and confirm that they appear there as well.

  • 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 Audio Only

    I thought that you used to be able to export audio only from iMovie using share to quicktime with some advanced settings.  I don't see that as an option in the new Mavericks iMovie

    Seriously ? There are no user selectable options for audio exports?
    What the heck is wrong with giving people the ability to accomplish what they want to ITB?
    Maybe this is just a marketing tactic to sell compressor to people who might not otherwise need it.
    I sincerely hope Apple returns audio export options in the next update.
    Bj4mac,
    For what it's worth, you should not have been using 44.1 audio in FCPX.
    Use one of the apps that Tom mentioned to convert to 48. (or QT pro if you still have that from FCS).
    If this is an audio-only task you're attempting, that's all the more reason to use another app.
    Good luck

  • How can I export a small iMovie 9 project for someone else using iMovie 9 in a way that they will be able to edit all the separate clips and audio?

    I've tried simply copying the project - but of course, that no longer contains the separate clips and audio used to create the project.  Is there some export function I'm missing - or do I need to just gather up the clips and audio used in the project myself and send those?
    Thanks.

    You need to export your project via the Share command.
    Share > Export Movie.... (or Share > Export using QuickTime).
    That will render your project (combine and set all the events, stills, audio etc).
    When completed you can then take that exported file and import it into iMovie on another computer (or back into your own) as a new Event.
    You can then start a new project, load that event file and continue editing.

    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 am trying out Final Cut Pro X and trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9). There is no export to FCPX in iMovie 11 nor is there import from iMovie in FCPX.

    Can someone please help me?
    I am trying out Final Cut Pro X on a 30 day trial. So far so good.
    I am now trying desperately to import a project from iMovie 11 (version 9.0.9) into FCPX.
    I have read multiple posts on this subject and they all recommend File/import/ from iMovie project in FCPX
    However there is NO such option under File/import in FCPX - nor is there an option to export to FCPX in iMovie 11
    Can anyone please enlighten me.

    The current version of FCPX does not work with that version of iMovie. You need version 10.0.3, which allows you to send a project to FCP.

  • FCPX XML not exporting audio with project...

    FCPX XML not exporting audio with any project.
    I have tried with several different projects to no avail.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks

    I used no special setting. I even tried to just export audio. Still no audio. I checked the file with GSpot, it shows that it has audio.
    Then I though I just went ahead an encode this and output to DVD as a test. It is indeed still no audio when playback on home dvd player.

  • Export Complete iMovie '08 project

    We are hoping to move an entire iMovie '08 project to a friends computer.
    We first tried just moving the project from the iMovie Projects folder to the same location on their Mac, but the .avi files that were imported into iMovie from iPhoto did copy (nor are the stored in the iMovie Events folder).
    Also the songs didn't seem to copy either (the songs were inserted into the Movie through iTunes).
    Has anyone found any sort of easy way to export an iMovie project to another computer with all of the linked resources (that might be in iPhoto, iTunes, or wherever)?

    iMovie Projects are .MOV files. Once you create a Project it takes the clips from Events in whatever format they are in (usually AVI from iPhoto, DV etc. from the iMovie Events folders) and converts them to H.264 .MOV files. Once they are in a standardized, editable format, you can then overlay sound, transitions, and titles.
    It sounds like you tried to move the files from the Events folder as located in the Finder. That will not be the integrated project.
    Just select the edited clip(s), Control-Click and choose Reveal in Finder. That's the file you want.
    If you want both the Event and Project files on another Mac, you need to manually find the AVI file via the iPhoto link in the Event Library. This is because (for some odd reason) iMovie cannot find the original clip using Control-Click Reveal in Event Browser for iPhoto imports to the Project Library.
    Therefore, you need that same AVI moved via the Finder from iPhoto tot he other Mac's iPhoto.
    A better editing option is to simply export all your iPhoto movies in AVI format to iMovie directly. That way the internal linking between the Project Library and Event Library works as it should. The iPhoto grab from iMovie is a bit of a kludge.
    Hope that helps.

  • Exporting iMovie/iDVD project for PC friend to edit

    I recently posted a question about how to take an iMovie/iDVD project and export the files so that a PC user could take the project and edit on his PC using a video editor. It was suggested that I share the iMovie project to QuickTime and then burn on to a CD. This sounded good at first but then I did some research and saw that sharing to QuickTime means that the quality will be lost (saving to CD setting) and will only be something like 320 x 240. Plus, it takes forever. Even longer if I set it to full quality but by that point, the file wouldn't fit on a CD anyway.
    I did see that I could save the movie back to a mini DV tape and then give that to the PC person so that they could just bring it into their computer via their camcorder. But what if that person doesn't have a digital camcorder?
    For the project in question, I've been asked to take some VHS tapes and convert them to digital. I've done so using a digital converter. They want a DVD of what was on the tapes, which I've done, but they also want the files so that they can later edit to their tastes on their own time on their PC and then later create a DVD. Given the above, what would be the best way to do this? Isn't there something in the movie project files that I can dump to disk?

    a) consider the usage of an ext. harddrive...
    b) in iM's "share" dialog, you find the option "selected clips only"; so, select a few clips you like to export, check that box, done... you can "split" your clips at any point to create segments of approbiate size by hitting apple-t at any position in timeline..
    c) share/Quicktime/expert options/click "share"/ offers you a dropdown menu, where you can choose the "avi" container...
    (your User Interface is for sure english!)
    you can click options, and choose the dv codec (which is your project's native video codec)... no loss of quality, and probably compatible for your friend..
    d) a dataDVD-r fits ~20min of dv video... 4 disks?
    e) using Disk Utility, make sure, you use a PC-compatible disk format....
    f) Plan B) export your project back to tape, give your friend the miniDV...

  • After exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.
