Finding Music in iMovie

I would like to know where I could find the music files that are used in the iMovie trailers (in iLife 11). I have gone to my system drive > Library > Audio > Apple Loops and found music there but not the stuff thats used in the trailers. The music I find there are the loops and "stingers" from soundtrack pro and garage band. Can someone point me in the right direction? Many thanks!

In Finder go to Applications and right-click (or control-click) on iMovie.app - in the window that opens select Show Package Contents. In the Contents>Resources folder you will find all the Trailer music. The name of each track starts with SoundTrack. See this picture:

PS. It's OK to copy and paste stuff from the Contents>Resources folder, but don't otherwise mess with items there as it could cause problems with iMovie.

I'm having the exact same issue, but still haven't figured out what it is. I note that at the top of this thread it indicates that there are two "helpful" entries and one "solved" entry, but I can't find the solved one, so maybe someone will repost it here or kindly link to it.
There is one icon missing though.
As I read through the excellent tutorial at http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html I scroll down to the point where he talks about dragging music in from iTunes, which is what I'm trying to do. I can see, in his screen shot, the extra little icon that is a red oval and a white "1" in it. I don't get that icon when I am trying to drag my music into the video. I do get the green and white plus icon when I try to drag my music in. Also I DO get BOTH the red 1 and the green plus when I try dragging in a sound effect, which I can do with no problem. But why not the music?
I've been able to drag in music with no problem in other productions, so I can't figure out what is going on with this one. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere that got flipped, but I can't figure out where.
In desperation I also tried adding an extra title slide at the end of my video just to make sure there is more video time than music time in the production, but that didn't help at all.
Any help guys?

Hi
Due to some kind of copy protection in iTunes - I don't copy directly from this in iMovie
to my projects. (Most often the result of doing it in iMovie is a DVD without any sound)
I do
• In iTunes - collect needed audio into a new Playlist
• then burn this out as an Audio-CD .aiff (NOT .mp3)
• This CD I copy into a folder on my Mac (often containing other material that's connected to the project)
• And then I drag and drop these .aiff files into my movie project in iMovie.
This works Greatly and even more so when I do my DVD.
Yours Bengt W

Looking for free royalty-free music for imovie slideshow

hi there,
i wanted to score my imovie slideshow with some free royalty-free music. can anyone suggest any sites where i can find it? i need about 1 1/2 - 3 mins., instrumental, easy listening or pop. thanks in advance.

Are you selling your slideshow or just using it for yourself and friends? If not, I don't think you need worry about licensing. You can just use music from your itunes folder for personal use. If you are using it in a commercial sense, then use look for royalty free. I posted royalty free question once, but what i really meant was where to find music and what sounds good. Also, imovie has some jingles that are instrumental. Some go for over a minute.

How do I find music I want by sample?

There is a sample of music in YouTube. I want to find more of the same by that sample. So how do I find more?
The sample is of laser harp play, but I am interested in the sound of it. The sound is deep and metallic, vibrating, almost menacing, mysterious at least. It is kind of space music, but I want that deep metallic vibrating sound, not just whatever space music. The music doesn't need to be as happy as in the sample, I would like it more deep, mean, and mysterious too. The music can be ambient or then have more detail to it. But it shouldn't be bass booming, which I hate.
Sample: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sLVXmsbVwUs

Well, he does all kinds of space music songs like below in the link. That doesn't help much, because I want only music that has the metallic vibrating sound. The sound should play major role in the songs. I want to be able to find music by the sample, not searching through music I don't need. Also I would like to get other artists' music too, not only this one's.

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

Is there a way to fade music in iMovie for iPad2?

Is there a way to fade music in iMovie for iPad2? I am making a short presentation using photos - not video. The music soundtrack ends abruptly. Is there a way to have it fade out?

It shouldn't crash but it could be that your library has some user-agent detection that's going awry when running in an unknown browser.
You can always use the HTML5 WebAudio API to go beyond simple audio file playback.

How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is "unable to find the original file?" I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

Backup drive?
Subscribe to iTunes Match?
If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck. A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work. You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

How do I find music from Turkey?

how do I find music from Turkey?

I don't know of any easy way to search for Turkish music. All I can suggest is that you use the Browse feature (it's under the Quick Links on the home iTunes Store page) and browse the World section. Whether there's any Turkish music on the iTunes Store at all I don't know.

How do I find the unused iMovie files so I can delete them?

I'm using a MacBook, late 2008, running Lion & iMovie '11. 164 GB hard drive, 4 GB RAM.
I imported a long movie (well, an hour & a half) into iMovie - at least, I TRIED to. It quit about 3/4 of the way through the import. I tried importing again, the last of the 2 tapes. Still quit at the same point. I started getting a "Startup Disk is almost full" message so I tried deleting every possible file I could delete (iTunes TV shows, pictures, etc.) Freeing up that much memory allowed me to import the last 1/4 of the 2nd tape once more.
I got the movie finished with transitions, titles, etc. & tried to send it to iDVD. It quit after a couple of hours & said there was an error (no number given) and could not finish. I once again started getting that "Startup Disk is Almost Full" message. That's all I can get now. I lost the import of the last 1/4 of the tape, too.
I tried moving the movie file (both the movie file & the iMovie Project folder) to an iMac, 2010, running Lion & iMovie '11 with a 1 TB hard drive & 8 GB RAM. However, the entire movie will not move. It once again leaves out that last 1/4. I cannot import directly from the camera because I just discovered the iMac uses Firewire 800 & I only have a 400 cable!
I just want to find the hidden iMovie trash files from the MacBook, delete them, and re-export the video to iDVD. Where the heck are they?

if you mean to go into the Aperture library in order to get image files to print with Canon's software it's not really possible. The best you would be able to do would be to get the master image and if you're shooting RAW that will be the RAW file. In any case no adjustments you made to the image in Aperture would be available, versions don't exist as files until you export them.
If you want to print with the Canon software you would export the image from Aperture and then print that image file.
If I've misunderstood your question post back,
regards

Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder

Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder. For example one of the three CD's form a triple album do not show in Finder. And therefore they do not get saved when I back up my Mac either. Any ideas?

Consolidate ("organize") simply looks at everything you have in iTunes and copies them to the iTunes media folder location specified in iTunes prefs -> Advanced. If you select to use the default settings iTunes will copy any files in its library in the correct location in the media folder. Since you don't want the files in a different locaiton really but just want to deal with some stragglers don't do the full "move" in hte instructions below but make sure they are organized.
iTunes 11 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12165
The files will be copied so you will need to find the originals abd once you are content the library is working you can get rid of them (I often archive them on an external drive, delete the originals, then play the files which is a sure test if you have a workable copy on the computer).

Did you purchase the Mac new? Or did you install Mountain Lion and do a clean install?
iPhoto and iMovie and Garage Band do not come with OS X. However, they do come with a new Mac. The first time you set up a new Mac and launch the App Store you will be prompted to enter your Apple ID and "register" iLife to it. This lets you re-download them on any Macs you own.
However if you do a clean install of OS X they're not installed, you'd need to go to the App Store and re-download them.
If you purchased a Mac used, the original owner registered them and you don't have rights to them. You'd need to purchase them on your own.

After an update, I keep getting a pop up that says accessing itunes store. It will let me find music but keeps interupting with the pop up. When I try to buy music it eventually says session timed out, try again

It will bring up the store but I keep getting interupted by the pop up. I can find music and then when I try to buy it, everything is ok and then it says my session has timed out? I have had itunes on this computer for a couple of years.

had a lot of trouble with this too. I had tried everything, from the internet time zone changing, restarting computers, physical time zone changing, firewalls, all that, and nothing worked.
but i just tried this and it worked.
1. in iTunes, go to Store, then go to authorize computer
2. sign in with your AppleID, and authorize your computer to purchase iTunes stuff.
that's it.
I scoured the internet and found nothing that said that had that as a solution.
hope it helps
