Extracted audio cleanup from iMovie

Have converted old analogue video of school production to clips in iMovie. Have extracted audio (too much 'hiss'), and imported into Logic Pro, applied a Denoise filter and saved as an audio file. Problem is that when I reimport into iMovie the audio file is out-of-sync (though now it sounds great!). Any advice?

hi macmacmac....(say it fast and it sounds like a duck ;))
Welcome!
Anyway, have you tried this?

Genny,
I just tried to answer your question over in the iMovie forum. Have a look over there.

How to extract a still from iMovie to create a jpg

I'm trying to extract a still from iMovie to create a jpg. I've been able to make a freeze frame, but now I want to export it into iPhoto as a jpg? How?

I suggest that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip.

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

Facebook has challenged the copyright of a movie using iMovie audio. Am i allowed to share movies made using audio clips from iMovie?

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.

Can I save audio only from iMovie video...?

Sure.
Choose Share>Export Using QuickTime. Then select Sound to AIFF from the Export dropdown menu.
The resulting will be an audio only AIFF file. The Sound to AU or Wave work in the same way and will create audio files of those file types.

Batch Extract Audio Files from .m4a videos

I saw something about using Terminal to extract audio files from a batch of quicktime movies, but I'm not sure where it was. Anyway, is there a way besides doing each manually? There are quite a few of them. I know my way around Terminal fairly well if necessary.

Okay, I kind of solved it (drag and drop, click, drag and drop, click, etc...) by using ffmpegX, which puts each file into a queue and goes through and converts them all. Still, it would be cool if there was a way to do it all in a single batch because if you drop a batch into ffmpegX, it only does the first one.

Can you extract photos's from iMovie/iDVD?

Pls help me! My smartdrive crashed, and all of my pics from Vaca in Africa were lost! I have a movie with the shots, and was wondering if there's a way to extract those photos from the movie?
Have version HD - 6.0.3 (267.2)
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

There are already advice in the thread you started in the iMovie HD forum:

iMovie 6 is so similar to iMovie 5, there's no need to ask separately in both forums.

Extracting audio tracks from a specialized CD

I am quite new to the Adobe A/V applications having used Sony Sound Forge and Vegas for many years. I am now a monthly Creative Cloud subscriber and thought it might be a good idea to learn Audition, Premiere, etc. since I also use Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Lightroom, and Acrobat.
My audio workflow is probably quite different than most in that I work part-time at a church and deal with a number of CDs that always contain split tracks (instruments left; voices right), and usually a demo track and a stereo instrument only track. The split track and stereo instrument versions of the song contain multiple tracks within them for practice purposes. When I use the "Extract audio from CD..." command I usually select all of the tracks but would like to have all of those tracks included in ONE .wav file with markers inserted at each track. Is that possible?
The only way I have been able to reconstruct the multi-track single song files after extracking them in Audition is to open each track in Audition and then create a multitrack session and piece each song together on a single track line. This is time consuming, especially when some of the CDs have multiple songs and may contain 70-90 individual tracks (divisions).
Another thing I have not been able to figure out how to do is to take a split track that is contained within a stereo Audition track in a multitrack session and create two mono tracks - one containing the instruments, and one containing the voices. Our choir director will sometimes want to eliminate parts of the vocal tracks and use a soloist instead and having the two tracks as separate mono tracks makes that easier, although I know I can open the piece up in the waveform editor and have access to either the left or right track separately.
I am also looking for a manual or online course for learning several of the Adobe products. Any suggestions?
Your help is most appreciated!

Thank you durin! Yes, File > Open Append is much faster. It requires, however, that I know which track numbers make up an entire song. Then the Edit > Extract Channels to Mono Files works great too. After working on the individual tracks I then Ctrl-clicked on each track and did Multitrack > Bounce To New Track > Selected Track to convert it back into a stereo track in the waveform editor. From there I can add it to a CD layout along with the other songs we are going to use on a Sunday.
I’m still working on the editing of the sermons I record for the purpose of burning CDs and also putting on our website. There are a lot of pauses that I need to take out and I have used Audition to help automate that process. I haven’t quite gotten it adjusted correctly yet as it seems to be deleting too much. I am also looking for a way to do a global delete of certain sounds like the sound many speakers make just before starting a sentence by putting their tongue against the front of their lower teeth and making a “clicking” sound.
I really like your “Skip Selection” option as I use a similar command in Sound Forge to check the area I am about to delete to check continuity before deleting the selection. In fact, I programed my mouse to do that with the push of one of its buttons. Will probably do that in Audition too.
I’m beginning to like Audition more and more each time I use it. Can’t wait to learn Premiere and its related applications!

Missing Audio Media from iMovie

I am exporting a project in the usual way (via media browser), but get the 'Missing Media" message referring to one audio track I have imported via the iTunes folder. This file, (along with a second audio file which is OK), both show in the right place when I 'Reveal in Finder'. The file is there when I check the 'missing file' path given in the error message. The project plays absolutely fine.
Earlier in the editing I dragged and dropped an audio file with the same name into the project from another folder from outside of iMovie. (Didn't actually know you could do this with iMovie, but it seemed to work !) Subsequently I needed to re-edit the audio, deleted the original file from the project and saved the new file to the iTunes folder and them dragged it into the project via iTunes.
I have deleted the audio from the project and iTunes (several times) and re-saved my work but without success. I tried renaming the file to import and at one point the file name given in the "Missing Media" error was not the same as the file I imported.
Is iMovie trying to find my original file, and if so how can I delete it.

Hi
Have no idea - But I do this another way and have near to Zero problem with Audio in any of my projects in iMovie or FinalCut.
• I never use any .mp3 audio or other alient formats - all converted to .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz
• In iTunes I do
- Collect needed sounds into a New PlayList
- BURN this as a standard Audio-CD (still .aiff - not .mp3)
- use the files on this CD in my movies
And by doing so I nearly never get any problems with AUDIO - I hit a lot of other's - but this is very rare to me.

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.

Extract audio-only from DVD. Which container format?

I've got a couple of music dvd's that contain nice DTS surround sound audio tracks. The video of these DVD's is pretty much uninteresting, so now I'm looking for a way to rip/extract the DTS track from these dvds (without converting them, I want to be able to pass the original DTS to my receiver) and put them in some container format that can easily parsed by music players (ie. it would be nice to have some metadata).
Which container format would be the most suitable? Ogg?
And which tool can do this?
Handbrake forces you to use the video as well, so that's not a viable option.

Don't take my word for it, but I've heard that the developer of the music player that you use is a pretty smart dude. Have you considered e-mailing yourself a feature request?

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.
