Fade audio in and out throughout a clip

Is thre any way to fade audio in and out throughout a clip, so say for example I want to fade it back just when someone is talking etc? it used to be so easy in previous imovies!

Audio in iMovie 09 is a pain. In order to do this, you have 2 choices...
1. Your clip must have a video fade effect of some kind then go into precision editor, select to see audio from the waveform button near the middle right of the screen and then slide the audio (without effecting picture) either earlier or later.
2. You can Split your clip in multiple places, lets say 6. Then double click on each of them in turn, moving the audio level lower and lower until you get to the part of the split clip that will be zero. In order no to have the edit point sound cut, either set the auto fade to be manual/zero, or go into precision editor and overlap the audio edit points slightly.

New clips automatically fade audio in and out?

When I add a clip from an event to the project there is automatically a fade in and out for the audio which I do not want. I checked under project properties but still couldn't find anything useful to turn this off. Any ideas?

You can select all of your clips (by clicking one and using command A) and then manually chage the fade in and out for all of them at the same time in the inspector. That is how I do it but I do wish that I could find a setting to turn off the fade in and out effect, just the same as you.

Fade audio in and out

Hi there.
I have an audio file that I have dragged onto the timeline and set to repeat on fame 1.
However, I want to fade the audio of that particular mp3 on frame 25 as a video plays on that frame - the audio clashes.
I also want to fade the audio back up of the mp3 when the video frame is exited.
Any ideas how this can be done?
Many thanks,
Alex.

Arrange Window > View > Track Automation > Volume > Draw it in
Or apply Fades with the Fade Tool
Or assign them in the Paramater Box when you have the region selected you want to fade in/out.

Sample rate off the audio input and out devices do not match - what to do?

This is fundamental, I know, but nevertheless I can't find my way around it. I get this error message when trying to recor:
Sample rate off the audio input and out devices do not match
and am asked to do this:
Use the appropriate operating system or audio device control panel to adjust the sample rates of the input and output devices to use the same settingt.
I have defined the sample rate to 44.1/16 bit in accordance with my inbuild soundcardt.
I am trying to record from LineIn.
When running on a M-Audio sound card I don't face any problems.
HP 8560W, sound card IDT/High definition audio Codec
Any suggestions?

You're sure you have set BOTH the input and output settings to 44.1 16 bit?
Which version of Windows are you running? There are a number of posts on this forum about how to fully access both the Windows Mixer and the Mixer for your soundcard. Especially, you need to ensure that all "Windows Sounds" are turned OFF.

Todays update! After todays update I can no longer send Safari or Spotify to the task bar without it cutting out (dropping audio in and out). Streams normally if I keep the window open on my desktop. This needs to be fixed immediately.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Audio IN and OUT messed up - how to diagnose??

I've got a weird issue and wondering if anyone can help. I have a Mac Pro and yesterday got a good mic and a pre-amp for my son to do some recording on GarageBand. I also installed the CuBase software that came with the pre-amp. The audio in and out is very erratic. Sometimes it will record, and sometimes not. And it will not playback properly (yes, I double-checked my Output/Input settings in System Preferences).
The same problem is happening on the CuBase software (which is GarageBand on steroids).
HOWEVER, when I fire up iTunes, all my existing MP3s come out of the speakers (line out) and headphone jack just fine.
Anyone know if there are potential conflicts between the system and audio editing software? Or perhaps it's the sound chip on the motherboard?
Related question: Can you add a sound card to a Mac Pro? I know the chip is soldered to the motherboard, but wondering if I can bypass that by adding a sound card?
Thanks for any help.

I haven't spent much time with Garage Band and I haven't used Cubase since OS9..
But there may be settings right in the DAW software that sets the default ins/outs as opposed to having your system settings control where the audio goes..
Another thing to take a look at is Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities folder. It displays the system sound settings in a bit more detail...
Currently, there might be 1 or 2 PCI-express "sound cards" out there, but your best bet would be to look for a USB or, preferably, a Firewire audio interface. There are many of these out there with a large range in pricing..
If you are getting serious about recording, you may want to look at some of the small format mixers which include a USB or FW output. The advantage of these small mixers is that they are like swiss army knives for audio.. they allow you to route and mix audio in all kinds of ways that you would never imagine until you actually need it.. Some include digital effects, usually some EQ on every channel, from 2-16 mic pres, etc
Another route, again if you are getting more serious, is to get a ProTools LE or M-Powered setup. This way you are getting "Industry Standard" recording software along with a selection of different audio interfaces to choose from depending on your needs..
Apple Logic is also Pro-Level Software for a great price, especially at the current pricing.. You still need an interface, though, to get the most out of it.
Browse around the computer recording section at www.sweetwater.com to get a good idea of what's involved..

Possible to use Audio In and Out simultaneously?

Is there any additional adaptor/gadget that I can purchase so that both the Audio In and Out features of the audio jack can be simultaneously?
For example, so that Audio In can be used to record an external source input while the Audio Out is piped to a headphone to monitor the recording?
Thanks!

Air has a headset jack.
You can use a splitter
Mics should be USB capable for best results, almost all headset mics are junk quality.
then monitoring or listening thru the headphones
consider using a PRO MIC , such as an Audio Technica AT2020 USB

or better still use one of these with pro XLR mics:

In and out point goes clip picture to go off-line

Hello,
When I do a mark in and out in a clip. there is somme clip in the browser that go off-line. The clip is not offline but the picon of the clip in the browser said that the clip is offline.
if I go in this clip and do a mark in noe the picon become correct ???
thanks
Carl

Carl,
I'm not sure if I follw your question, but here's my attempt to answer:
If I understand you have clips that show up in your Browser as Offline (red) but if you play them they are just fine and really are there. If you put an In or Out point in the Browser Clip then the files no longer appear offline.
I have experienced this with clips in the Broswer and the Timeline. I figure it is just a bug in the program and since everything still works, I'm okay.
So, if that is what's going on, I think it's just a bug, nothing more.
If that's not what's going on, I'm lost too.
Hope that helps!

Is it possible to separate audio tracks and/or timecode on clips in browser

I transcoded my AF100 clips with log and transfer and came out with all my audio in stereo tracks. There are two separate tracks corresponding to the two mics but they are linked. I know I can separate them one by one on my timeline, but I'm wondering if there's away to select all the clips and do the same thing in my browser, since I have to do the same thing to ALL my hundreds of clips.
Similarly, I made audio tracks without timecode for my transcribers. Now I have to go in and set an auxiliary timecode starting at 00 for all my clips. I'm wondering if there's a way to do that for all the clips at once. I wish I had set the camera to start the timecode at 00 for each clip, but I didn't think of that in time.
Thanks in advance for any help. This forum saves my life!

I don't know much about your business except what you've said but my first impression is that you are way over-thinking and over-producing; your situation is unnecessarily complicated.
I am finishing to DVD. I tried before production to figure out the best way to get these clips to my transcribers ASAP- the start to finish on this project is very short, and it was taking too long to compress clips stamped with TC and the Pro Res clips I am making via Log and Trasfer are huge and don't play well on every computer (all of my trasncribers are on PCs) Also, they are all in a country other than the one I was producing in, so getting them Pro-Res clips would have meant mailing lots of drives internationally. The easiest way to get the transcribers the clips turned out to be using Drop Box to send them audio clips. If you still think I'm over producing, do tell- I'm def not one who enjoys over-anything and if there is a more minimalist approach I'd love to know!
You can, of course, create actions or macros, if you understand the programming, to run batch processing but only if all of the files can be processed in the same way.
So, is there any way to set auxiliary timecodes OR to separate audio tracks on every single clip in my browser?
And is there a way to get Log and Transfer to create clips that don't have the audio in stereo?
Thanks

Audio Clicks and Pops appearing in clips

In the final stages of editing a project that truly tests your machine, I am now running in to a mysterious problem.
I am nearly completely finished with a semi-complex project. Just in recent hours, certain clips have started developing "Clicks" and "Pops" that are very, very distinct. This might be fine.... if I were able to correct them. But conveniently, it appears that Final Cut Pro X does not give you this capability.
Is there a way to correct Clicks and Pops in FCPX? If not, is there some explainable reason why my audio is creating these problems slowly and surely? (the source media does not have the clicks)
Thank you for your insight!

I'm having the SAME EXACT ISSUE! Been driving me crazy! I had FCPX on SL, then upgraded to Lion a few days ago and it's been hit or miss with the renders. Some of them render properly, some clips sound fine inside FCPX and then render incorrectly, and some are fine until FCPX decides to analyze the clips and then it introduces all the clicks and pops which are then clearly audible inside of FCPX. I've done transcoding on clips that have come out OK in Compressor and they seem to come out fine. I'm not quite sure if there is any work around for those of us who have FCPX and Lion...
P.S. A lot of people are talking about importing everything as .AIFF and all this stuff, well, how hard can it be to handle MP3s or Waves? I used Waves for all of the audio and they were perfectly fine until Lion, so this stuff about .AIFF just doesn't seem like a good solution. I'm going to try to create a random track and import stuff as .AIFF and other as .MP3 and .WAV and see what happens. It'd be curious to see if the cracks appear in some parts and not in others (for me they appear so long as there is audio, but stops in between the clips where i've put a 1 second silence)...

How do I zoom in and out on a clip using final cut pro 6?

I have searched around and I haven't found anything about how to zoom in and out on non-still video. I am sure there is some simple explanation as of how to do this but I can't seem to find it. If you guys could help me out that would be great. Thanks.

Double click the clip in the Timeline, to place it in the viewer.
In the Viewer window click the Motion tab. Adjust the "Scale" control and set keyframes as needed.
