Extracted Audio Question

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME, I'M SO FRUSTRATED!!!!
I extracted ALL of the audio in my movie and sent it to the trash. I then exported the silent movie and burned it to DvD using idvd.
NOW, it turns out I need the audio that was attached to many of the clips in the movie. I have many hours, and many hi-8 tapes of footage and do not have time to sort through it all to import the original footage again.
I opened the project and copied the audio from the trash, then pasted it into mu imovie project. My problem is that now the audio is playing fine. BUT the video clips will not play at all. The clips are still there, the timeline for video and audio is activated, but the clips do not move. There is just a still image of the frame as the audio plays. If I manually move the cursor to different spots on the clips the still frame displayed changes. (So I believe the clips are still intact.) My computer is now running VERY slow, and I can not simply drag the cursor over the movie to manually play it.
Any Ideas on how to get the movie to play properly????

Hi Mochastix - my comment here may not help solve your problem, but for any future editing of the kind you did, consider this:
When you 'extract' audio, the original audio in the video clips is not removed - it is simply muted. Thus it can be 'un-muted' again. If you want to create a soundless DVD, either select all of the clips and lower their audio volume to zero, OR more simply, uncheck the little box at the right-hand end of the video track. So, there was no need to trash the 'extracted' audio, nor was there a need to drag it back from the trash.
As Sue suggests, it does seem that you are very low on storage space. If all else fails, trash the audio track again, and raise the audio level within the video clips. To do that, select all of the clips, and use the slider. See if that helps.

  • Extract audio from a DVD how to

    Is there a FREE and ease way to extract audio from a DVD?
    Thank you

    Set a tape recorder next to your speaker? Seriously, though - what kind of DVD? If it's a commercial DVD, it's copyright protected and people here shouldn't give you advice on how to do it. There are other places besides Apple's discussion forums to get that kind of info, and I don't see why this question belongs in "Using Mac OSX Leopard" in the first place.

  • Extracting audio from short clips

    My previous post/question seems to have disappeared so I apologise for a repeat: I'm noticing (and this started happening just recently) that it takes now about 10 minutes to extract audio from even very short clips (10 seconds long, say). It used to be clip-length-dependent, now it's flat 10 minutes no matter how short the clip. It's driving me nuts because it's an enormous slowdown of the workflow.
    Anybody has seen this and knows about a workaround?

    it takes now about 10 minutes to extract audio from even very short clips (10 seconds long, say)
    Is the underlying media clip also 10 seconds? Or is it much larger and just edited down to 10 seconds?
    iMovie HD extracts audio from the WHOLE underlying media clip but displays just the part that is not edited off. So extraxting audio can take time when deailing with such clips.
    Do a test: Export the just the selected 10 second clip as Full Quality DV and import it back (so the media clip really is just 10 seconds). Then extract audio from that 10 second clip. Is it any faster?

  • Editing after extracting audio?

    Hi there,
    I am running iMovie HD, and have a question about editing.
    I extracted the audio from my video clip, and now I want to do some editing. However, whenever I make an edit to the video clip, the audio doesn't reflect the edit and immediately gets out of sync.
    Is there anyway to recombine the audio and video? Or, can I just make the audio take the same cuts as the video?
    I need to use the extracted audio, as I made some changes to it.
    Thanks for any help!

    Robert,
    The extract audio command really places a copy of a the audio from a clip into one of the two audio tracks. At the same time it lowers the volume level in the original video to zero.
    As you've discovered, once extracted, the extracted copy becomes it's own entity and will not reflect any further edits to the video clip.
    At this point you could reset the volume in the video to 100% and re-extract or try to edit your audio to reflect the changes to your video.

  • Extracting audio from video clip to use as narration?

    Hi there,
    I have a video clip in which I want to take the audio of actor speaking and put it onto another video.
    I.e. he is speaking about walking in the park. I want to take him speaking about walking in the park and put it onto the clip where he is actually walking in the park.
    How do I do this in premiere elements 10?

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for the quick response. I guess my question now is how would I do those two things?
    In terms of exporting the audio, where can I find that option when I'm on timeline?
    What do you mean by "Alt-click" and what is a "muxed file"?
    Thanks again,
    Mallory

    Welcome to the forum. There are several ways to accomplish this, and your choice might well rest on how you like to work, and what you are doing, such as Deleteing Video. First, you could Export/Share just the Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, from your Timeline, and Import that into a New Project, where the Audio WAV file would be used. OTOH, you could Atl-click on the Video portion of the muxed file, and Delete the Video, leaving only the Audio portion. Good luck, Hunt

  • Extracted Audio longer than movie clip, please help...

    I was reading some of your FAQ's about extracted audio being
    recomposed with a mono instead of stereo for exported audio from a microphone or other mono device, and then importing it back into iMovie after mixing it in Quicktime, to make it stereo (albeit with only mono feed).
    My question is this:
    I extract the audio from the clip that I am running, and it is fine and good while within iMovie, however, once I drag and drop it to my desktop, and open it with quicktime and either play it or export it as mono to get it to play through both speakers, it uses the original
    length of audio not the edited version that i pull from imovie. It is very frustrating, and I am not sure why it keeps doing this.
    While it is in iMovie, the audio and video match, and are synched. But, when I export it, for some reason, it exports the original audio from the unedited clip (which has already been deleted!), and I don't know what to do to get it to export just the audio clip as it stands now within iMovie.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Aesthesia - that is a fact of life of non-destructive editing. When audio is extracted from a shortened, cropped clip, it actually extracts the entire audio from the underlying original source clip. You can test this by extracting audio from a cropped clip, and you will find that you can, by direct editing, extend it back to its original length.
    That explains why the audio file when played outside of iMovie plays at the original length.

  • Transfer PAL to NTSC and extract audio:  Best Place in L.A.

    I have a little record company.  I'm going to release a video of a concert as a DVD and will ALSO release a CD of the same concert.  I want to extract audio from the PAL (for the CD)at best quality for remastering.
    I also want to Convert the PAL to NTSC so I can edit it in FCP.  (I assume that's the best quality Video I can get under the circumstances.  Is that so?  Is there a better way?  It's music, so it HAS TO BE in sync)
    I will do the editing for the DVD master, and my mastering guy will deal with the music for the CD.
    1. Can anyone suggest the best place in L.A. to do these transfers?
    2.  Can anyone suggest the best place in L.A. to author and replicate the DVDs?

    Laurie,
    I've put the word out to the LA contingent of FCP elitists about your question. Hopefully one of them will respond.
    If you decide to go through a software based conversion, there is a thread over in the FCP forum that will be useful to read.

  • Extract audio in 44.1Khz?

    Hello. I have some digital video from which I want to extract the audio and combine it with other audio in Audacity. When I choose Extract Audio in iMovie 6 HD, it creates an .aiff file but the sampling is set at 32Khz and my other audio files in Audacity are 44.1Khz.
    I've looked in iMovie 6 HD but can't find an option to adjust the sampling rate for extraction. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks
    David

    When I choose Extract Audio in iMovie 6 HD, it creates an .aiff file but the sampling is set at 32Khz
    Really?? With my setup iMovie 6, as a bug, extracts audio at 44.1 instead of the proper 48 kHz:
    http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#extractaudio
    But I have my camcorder set at 48 kHz (16 bit), so maybe iMovie preserves 32 kHz (12 bit) audio as such when it extracts it (I haven't tested this because it is NOT advised to use that camcorder setting)?
    But to the original question: can't you export AIF at 44.1 kHz via the expert settings?

  • Recovering extracted audio

    I posted this under another topic, so I apologize for reposting, but I'm really curious if someone has the answer to this question.
    I performed the extract audio on a project that was created using iMovie HD 05. I upgraded to iMovie HD 06. The extraction was performed on iMovie HD 06. Now the audio is completely garbled. There was no undo in the edit menu when I finished.
    Is there any way to recover the extracted audio? Or do I have to start from scratch.
    Thanks in advance.
    Russell

    Russell,
    When you use the Extract Audio command, the audio is copied from the original video clip and placed in one of the separate audio tracks.
    The volume level of the audio in the original clip is then set to zero.
    So in your case what I would try is deleting the garbeled extracted audio and then select the original video and type 100% to replace the 0% in the clip volume box at the bottom of the iMovie window (or click on the little speaker icon and slide the volume slider back up to the 100% mark).
    You can then use the Extract Audio command again.
    Post back if this doesn't work.

  • How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

    I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
    I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
    This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.

    Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
    I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!
    ralph
    Hi Ralph:
    You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
    them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
    and split it after you split the video and be sure to
    keep the playhead in the same position.

  • Extract Audio From a DVD

    Is there a way to extract audio, such as a song, from a dvd and turn it into an mp3 file for recording on a CD?
    Thank you for your help.

    two options:
    converter tool Mpeg Streamclip allows a direct export to mp3 (mp2 playback component needed, 20$)
    or
    connect a DVDplayer's audio-out via a cable to your Mac's audio-in, launch Garageband/Audacity/.. and record the audio..

  • Extract audio from dvd

    I am trying to extract audio from a DVD I have previously made, when I open it there is nothing in the Audio_TS file. I have seen the previous post about video files. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=596051&tstart=15
    I would imagine that it would work the same way. I tried streamclip but it says I am missing a the mpeg-2 component. I did not think I needed this for a non-comercial DVD,
    I would like a simple way to use a sound clip off a dvd if that is possible. thanks

    follow Daniel's excellent suggestion (hardware solution).
    to get just the audio (parts of) from a DVD is no trivial task…
    the mpeg2 playback component is needed, because that is the codec in use on any videoDVD
    the AUDIO_TS is allways empty on a videoDVD, it is only in use for SuperAudioDVDs.. (rare HiFi format)
    the audio of a dvd is well hidden, "woven", muxxded (=tech term) into a data stream… tools as mentioned bbdemuxx demux that stream, in a second step you have to convert the file into something... usefull....
    get a few cables, as Daniel said...
    Plan C)
    invest in tools as Ambrosia's Wiretap which records any sound, your Mac produces... you playback the DVD on your Mac, and you record simultanously the sound... needs additional $$ software and the same amount of time as Daniel's suggestion…
