Exporting to and from Garageband

Can you share from Garageband to DVD Studio Pro. As you can't seem to embed the sound track into your movie from Garageband I am wondering if you can export the video and audio tracks to somewhere other than iDVD.

. If I'm not mistaking, Podcast is the only option that allows me to access itunes to drag and drop a song into my project.
Any GarageBand project will allow you to access iTunes from the Media Browser, Bruce: Click the Media Button in the lower right corner of the iTunes window and open the Audio tab, then scroll down to iTunes.

Why Can't I Export to Quicktime from Garageband?

Has anyone else experienced this or would know how to fix it...
I created a .mov file from Keynote and brought it into Garageband as a Video Track to sync the music to the Keynote presentation. Now I'm ready to Export to Quicktime from Garageband. When I choose the Export command from the 'Share' menu in Garageband, it runs through two dialog boxes - first "Creating Mixdown" and then "Converting..." - after the second dialog box disappears no Quicktime file is created.
I have tried several things to remedy this, but have had no luck - such as updating to Garageband 3.0.1, running Disk Utility, restarting the computer. I also made sure to check the Preferences in Garageband before exporting.
Can anyone tell me how I can get it to export?
Also, the final Garageband file size is approximately 180MB and the presentation runs approximately 8 minutes. The final file will need to be 'full quality', as it will be shown from a projector at a meeting.
Mac OS X (10.3.9) Keynote v3.0.0; Garageband v3.0.1; Dual 1GHz G4; 1.5GB SDRAM

Which export did you use?
Try going into prefs->export, enable the export to disk option.
Than in the Share menu choose export to disk.
Then do a search on the name of your song (in the Finder) and see if it shows up.

Exporting to and from Power Point

When I export to and from power point, the mapping of bullets does not seem to be one for one. My bullets in iwork seem to map to bullets with numbers in them in power point. How can I figure out which bullets in Power Point map to which bullets in iwork?

Hi,
Hope you are doing the following:
1. Create a pptx
2. Save and click on Presenter ->Publish.
3. Select the tab 'Adobe Connect'
4. Configure the server by clicking on 'Edit server'
5. Click on Add and enter name (any name) and URL of server ('http://<server name like my.adobeconnect.com>)
6. Press Ok and then Publish.
Are you redirected to Connect server login screen ?
If still you are not able to publish, please provide the name and URL of server you entered.

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

Can't export to disk from Garageband 08

I have Garageband 4.1.2 running on Leopard 10.5.2. Sometime after the last GB or OSX upgrade I stopped being able to export to disk. The export appears to work, but no file is created.
It turns out to be a file name length problem. If I shorten the file name the export works properly.
I'm creating a new topic here because there isn't only specific to GB users. However there seems a problem doing "export movie to disk" in one of the iLife 08 applications. That's where I learned about the fix. See the included link to that discussion.

I've been frustrated by this problem for several months. I can't stand being forced to export to iTunes, not only because of the extra steps of subsequently copying the file to where I really want it to be and then deleting the file in iTunes, but also because it forces me to enter a playlist name, a composer name, and an album name. Shorter file names seems to work and therefore may be the ticket for me too. But I think several GarageBand updates have been released, and I wonder why this hasn't been fixed. It makes me start thinking Apple is like Microsoft, forcing me into using their products.

When I export my song from Garageband off of my iPad to iTunes the sound quality is wrong, how do i fix this!?

Hey, I've read plenty of posts on how to fix this, but it's all for the Mac, and what they say is too turn off the auto-normalize, but there is no option for it on the ipad and I don't have a Mac...
I have exported it on all sound qualities, I have adjusted the low and high notes so they arent all that over powering, but it all keeps sounding the same
I would really love if I could have some help on this as I've spent months working on this piece of music and I really would love to have it on my mp3...
So some help would be greatly appreciated

I've just found out, that it sounds fine on my iphone when played through headphones, speakers or even stereo, its just when i play it on itunes, it sounds funny like when it hits lows it goes quiet as if it cant handle them...

How do you make the volume louder when you export music from garageband?

Hey everytime I export my music from garageband the volume seems to die down.. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you

There's two things that are being called "volume": one is the output level of your audio file. Go to GB's preferences and see if the auto-normalize function is checked - if yes, it will automatically adjust the master volume so the maximum level of your output file is 0 dB. If you uncheck it, you can crank up your volume more, but your audio might clip in some places.
The other thing is loudness – audio files with the same peak level have a very different perceivable loudness. That is a question of mastering, i.e. applying compressors and limiters to make the sound more "dense". But that's a whole different story.

Export illustrator file from Flash Professional CS6

Can a background/scene created in Flash profession be exported to illustrator file with extension Ai without illustrator?

You did not have to group it you could have exported the image or the selection only or the movie in the FXG format (Flash Exchange Graphic) and what is wrong with doing it a newer and better way. FXG is supported in Flash Catalyst as is Illustrator and Photoshop FXG can be exported from Illustrator so you use the file in Flash more readily and though Photoshop does not support FXG that might change.
I am leased they finally came up with a rational method of exporting to and from Illustrator and Flash.
Eps was never the right way since Flash is not a postscript application.
You found the right way and format you just went about it in an unusual and unneccessary way.
Next time if you want all the art choose image instead of selection if you only need some elements of the art select them export choosing selection only that art will be exported no need to group.
if you want the whole movie then again choose the whole movie of course that will be a motion type format not FXG.
Anyway you sort of did it the right way.

Export Editable File from Flash to Illus

My co-worker spent all day trying to export a Flash file to open and edit in Illustrator. Is this possible? She feels that it is because when she exports as .fxg into Illus if she turns the preview to outlines the art looks like vector art. Im not so sure. You cant select anything. It still has all those outer boxes aroud it like when you "Place" artwork. Is it possible to do this? Thanx w/any help with this.

Itunes wont play my new mp3 exported from Garageband?

I export my original songs from Garageband 09 in mp3 format and add them to a playlist in itunes. Sometimes Ill make some changes to a song in Garageband and then export and replace the original exported mp3 with the same file name. The preview in Finder plays the new version but when I double click it or open it with itunes it plays the old one? Even when I delete the old one from the playlist and import the new file? Weird!

I have a similar problem .. when I import a movie, modify the audio track add sounds and music ect... export to iTunes only the original movie audio comes thru. When I check the file in the iTunes movie folder it has the Garageband sounds as I modified it. Opening the movie in Quicktime it plays the total Garageband mix. I suspect a glitch in iTunes.

Audio exported from garageband inaudible

Hi everyone,
I'm new to garageband and have just hooked up a sony notetaker to my macbook pro and have used garageband to import the audio. Once it imported I listened to some of it and it sounded okay but when I chose "send song to iTunes" and listened to the audio there, it was playing back in "chipmunk" mode, ie. really fast, totally inaudible. Just wondered if anyone could tell me why this is happening?
Also, is it possible to export audio from garageband in an mp3 or .wav format?
Appreciate any help.

Thanks for the reply.
The Q&A you directed me to is about a file playing too fast within Garageband. My file is actually playing correctly within Garageband - it's playing too fast in iTunes when I export it.
I tried it anyway though. Since the file was already in the iTunes window, I just set the preferences to AIFF, 44.1K and 16-bit as directed in the instructions. The file was already a .aif file since exporting it from GB but again I chose "Convert to AIFF from under the Advanced menu" according to the instructions.
Apparently once the conversion is done a new file should have been created and listed in the iTunes window, but no new file was created when I did this. Do you know what could have gone wrong?
Also I imported about 1 hours worth of audio from the notebook into GB but when I exported it to iTunes it's coming up as over 11 hours. Do you think some setting was wrong in GB while I was importing that could be causing the problem?

Exporting single tracks from a garageband project

how can i export single tracks from a garageband (6.0.5) project (and not the whole song) to be converted in aiff/wav?
thanks

Solo the track you want to export by clicking the solo (arrow)button in the Track header. Then export the song to the disk.

How to I synchronize video from Imovie and audio from garageband?

I recorded the audio in Garageband and the video thru my video camera. I then captured the video in Imovie and attached the audio to the project from garageband. I can't seem to be able to synchronize both.I clicked on the green area and clicked "trim" and when the waveform appeared, I moved the handle back and forth, but video and audio never synced. I also went to my project and tried to pull the video or the audio back and forth, but it also never synced.
What are the steps to take to achieve this?

If you want the video and audio to automatically sync, Final Cut Pro X is the tool of choice, but it is more expensive than iMovie, and it has a big learning curve.
With iMovie, you can still do this by showing the wave forms and lining them up visually. There is a nuance that in iMovie, you must have video. You cannot have sound that exists outside a video element. For you, this means that if your GB track is the same length or longer than your iMovie video track, you cannot shift it side to side. This is easily fixed by adding some dummy clips before and after your video so there is room to slide the track back and forth. You can find these "Black Background" clips (and others) under the Maps tab.
I recently had to sync up some audio with video. Here is a post that explains in detail how I did it. It may help. Unfortunately, in my case, I was syncing the audio from 2 cameras. This is easier than syncing video with an audio track, but some of the tricks may still apply.
If anything still does not make sense, please ask.
One more thing. When you have an audio track like one created in GB, it is not simple in iMovie to delete a chunk of it and delete the corresponding video at the same time. Once again, this is a task better suited for Final Cut Pro X. It is possible to export your movie to the Media Browser and then continue editing it in GB, so that may be an option for you.

Exporting iPhone Ringtones from iLife09 - Garageband.

Hey all,
Having a slight hassel getting Garageband to export iPhone ringtones to iTunes... I have the latest updates for all programs, and I'm following the same process that used to work in iLife 08, it just doesn't seem to work.
Aside from this little thing not working for me, the program is A1!
Any ideas would be helpful.
Cheers,
Dave.

I'll respond seeing as I'm having exactly the same issue. I create a sub 30 second loop, choose export ringtone to iTunes. A blue progress bar tells me the ringtone is being made, iTunes is booted and lo and behold, nothing appears in the ringtones area. More annoyingly, I have I've sucessfully done this before, but about 3 months ago it stopped working. I updated to iLife '09 (from '08) with no effect. I've downloaded M4r files from the web and dragged them into iTunes with no problem, but it refuses to play when exporting from Garageband. I don't think it's a protected file issue because I'm trying to do it with copyright free loops from Garageband.
HELP!

IPod music player crash when playing podcast, exported from GarageBand

Hello!
Before start, I'm using this soft/tools: GarabeBand '11 (6.0.4.) on Mac OS X(10.7.2.), podcast, submited in iTunes, and iOS 5 on my iPod Touch 4. All software is up to date.
So. I have a podcast which Is playing fine everywhere, on Mac, iPod etc. But the latest episode I did yesterday, I made with GarageBand to try "Chapter Marks" feature which I did not used before. Then I export podcast to my Mac and upload to my server to make available in iTunes Store as I usualy do.
Then I downloaded latest episode of my own podcast in iTunes, transfer it to iPod, and found that this episode cannot be played on it! I mean, it transfered well, it shown in episodes list of my podcast, but when I tap to play - music player app just crashing all the times. All previous episodes works fine, so I guess the problem with latest episode is because of GarageBand.
I've tried many different export settings in GarageBand: AAC Encoder with Higher Quality (192 kbps), iTunes Plus (256 kbps) and Custom settings 320 kbps. Also I tried all options in "Quality" dropdown menu in Custom settings: High, Higher and Highest.
But result is still same - this episode, exported from GarageBand, crashing on iPod (although It can be played normaly in iTunes on my Mac).
Would be glad for any suggestion how to solve this. I feel very bad cause subscribers of my podcast downloading "broke" episode :-(
p.s.
Here is podcast in iTunes Store - http://itunes.apple.com/ru/podcast/daniel-lesden-presents-rave/id423519688
Here is RSS feed - feed://ravepodcast.com/downloads/podcast.xml
The problem with latest episode, #017.

I examined the episode media file. In QuickTime Player 7 it shows the chapter images, which are 160x160, and plays normally.
However in QuickTime Player X it doesn't show the images, but opens to a very large black player. The info in QT7 looks like this:
You will notice that although at the bottom it says 'Normal Size 160 x 160 pixels', in the top section it refers to a JPEG at 6227 x 6227 which I suppose is an embedded image, though I can see no evidence of one (unless it's plain black): an image this size wouldn't show on an iPod and would very possibly crash it.
I can't explain how this got there - I've never used GarageBand to make a podcast - but you should have an investigation and try to locate and remove it; it's very likely the cause of the problem.
