How can I cut a section of video, but leave the audio playing?

iMovie 6
Hi, I want to edit, or remove a small section of video, but leave the audio playing in the background. I want to just put up a picture in the same spot. But, I need the video's audio to keep playing. I videotaped someone speaking, but there is a section where there is a mistake, namely, the camera was moved. I need to keep the audio going, and figured I would just put a still image of text or picture in the section where the mistake is, that's why I need the audio to keep playing. It's too long of a section to just do a transition to cover the mistake. Can someone help me with this? I guess you could call what I want to do is cut to a still image while the audio keeps playing?
Thanks

  • How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

    In PE11, How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

    Thanks for getting your details posted. Good job.
    You further explained
    I am simply wanting to “overlay” a new visual element without disturbing the underlying audio.
    A classical way to do a Premiere Elements Overlay is to hold down the Ctrl key of the computer main keyboard and drag the new clip over the area of the one you want to replace on the Timeline. That should not do anything but replace one portion of the video on the Timeline. No change in duration video or audio track if you are dealing with video linked to audio.
    If you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, I am envising a scenario where you want to add to (not replace) some Timeline content.
    A just in case note, if you have video on Video 1 and 2 and the video in 2 does not have transparent areas in it, then all you will see is the Video 2 content. I believe that Hunt eluded to that concept as a possible technique for what you might be doing.
    Another just in case, if you have not seen the following Adobe documentation on arranging clips, you might be interested in the following link

  • How can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

    how can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?

    you want to use the retiming tool. you can select what you want to hold, then use the "Hold" command (shift-H) to create a single frame of a default duration, which you can then change to whatever length you want by dragging the retiming handle.
    Here's the page in the help manual that describes the hold feature in detail:

  • How can I record narration with no video or beyond the end of my video in iMovie?

    I have a question about recording narration in iMovie.
    I wrote a script to read as the narration for a movie I'm making. My thought was I could record the narration first, then add video to match the spoken words.
    I've done this before in Sony Vegas on my PC and it worked out well, better than trying to speak to what was going on in the video after I record the video.
    Unfortunately, if I try to record narration in iMovie without any video being there yet, it won't record. It appears I need to put a video clip on the timeline first.
    If I put a short clip in and try to record narration beyond the end of it, iMovie quits recording at the end of the video clip.
    So I went to quicktime and recorded my narration there and have 10 audio files (since I just don't seem to be able to read this whole script without making mistakes).
    I then tried to add all 10 to my movie and I think it made me add a video clip first, but after I did, iMovie overlayed all 10 audio files on top of each other.
    If I try to drag them over one at a time, I still can't get them to go sequentially unless I add more video to my movie.
    There must be a way to add audio files or create narration without having to create a video file longer than your audio first.  Isn't there?
    I just can't seem to find a way to get the audio files layed out one after another without more video.  Very frustrating.
    At this point, I really want to know how to add audio files beyond the end of my video since I have them all recorded.
    But I'd also like to know how to record narration beyond the end of the video too for future projects.
    Thanks!

    You could insert a bunch of placeholders in the timeline before doing the voiceover.
    You can find a range of placeholders (they are actually templates used in iMovie Trailers) in the Maps, Backgrounds & Animatics browser. This is the last browser at the end of the centre toolbar, after the Titles and Transitions browsers. Click on it and scroll down to see all the animatics (aka placholders or templates). Drag a number of these into your project timeline - as many as you think you need to cover your audio.
    When you've finished the voiceover, drag photos directly onto the animatics and select Replace from the pop-up menu. Adjust the timing by using the Inspector (double-click a photo to open the Inspector, then change the duration).

  • How can I burn my iPhone home videos to a DVD to play on a TV?

    The video files are on a Windows PC. I also have an iPad, but the videos are on the PC with the DVD burner on it. I can burn a DVD, but it won't play on a TV in the DVD player.

    Here's one way:

  • How can i add a transition to video when using pinned audio without loosing sync

    Everytime i try to add a transition to my video after adding audio from an external source the audio becomes unsync,( it doesn't matter if i pinn the audio or not) any solutions or worked around?
    I'm using Imovie 11.

    Try this...
    Click EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP/HALF. This will maintain project duration.
    Normal transitions take half the frames they need from each adjacent clip.
    If you choose HALF, it will take the frames needed for the transitions from the unused portion of your event clips. For this to work correctly, you will need to have unused frames available in each clip. If your project clip uses the frames all the way to the beginning or end of the event clip, there would be no frames to borrow. You also need to make sure that there is no embarassing footage in the unused frames that will be now used in the transitions.  If you carefully edited out Aunt Judy picking her nose, these frames of Aunt Judy may show up in the transition, if they are adjacent to a project clip with a transition.
    There are good diagrams explaining this in iMovie/Help.

  • How can I temporarily remove a RAID set but keep the data?

    I recently had to restore my Netgear ReadyNAS to factory settings, which meant that I needed to make a backup of its data and restore it afterwards. The only possible way to back up the 8.5Tb of data was to get 9Tb of WD Red disks and somehow use them - so my immediate thought was that the Mac Pro would be a good idea. I t had four drives in it, but three of them were not being used by the OS so they could be temporarily removed.
    So I replaced three of my four Mac Pro drives with new 3Tb drives and used Disk Utility to set them up as a JBOD. I then used this JBOD drive to back up the NAS and restore it again after I had re-installed its O/S (the whole thing took two weeks!!!).
    So now I'm in the following situation:
    * I want to tear down the JBOD set and take the three new drives out of the Mac Pro again and replace them with the drives I normally use there so that I can go back to making music (which is what I usually use it for).
    * I also want to be able to put the new drives back in and read the data as a JBOD again if needed (in case anything is discovered to be amiss with my ReadyNAS backup/restore operation) - let's say for the next month I'll plan to keep the old drives around for safety.
    How can I remove the JBOD set in such a way that I can set it up again using the same drives, and access the data (i.e. I don't want to delete the RAID set the usual way because that will delete the data too - apparently...)?

    Going to ask the mods to move this to MacPro, Hatter can answer your question, but I'm pretty sure if you power down and remove the RAID drives, you can put them in back again and boot up and the RAID will still be recognized as the info is stored on the drives themselves in the GUID/MBR of each drive in the set.
    Also you should know, there is a new MacPro coming and it doesn't accept internal drives, only external.
    So you should prepare and have some sort of external hardware redundancy for your data that isn't dependent on the Mac HFS+ formatting as Windows doesn't read that.
    Perhaps exFAT would be better as both platforms can read/write that, but if the drives are going to be used with a PC ever, they need to be formatted by Windows for exFAT to get it right. Check first before you commit to copying huge data over.
    Anyway research it, because if your MacPro dies, you might be up the creek and have some issues getting at all that data since it's in a RAID, external options might not work correctly or reliably for RAID.
    Also consider talking to the fellows at MacGuru's, they are external RAID box setup experts for Mac's, sounds like you need a RAID 5 box, gives redundancy and can connect to any computer.
    Hardware RAID is more reliable than software ones, cross platform as well.
    good luck.

We would like to be able to merge them and then create seperate apple id accounts so it doesnt happen again but we need to keep the text msgs.

  • Youtube loads videos, but leaves the loading circle on the screen

    When I watch videos on YouTube, occasionally the loading animation stays on the screen even though the video is playing, during this the play/pause button doesn't work until I click on the timeline. Clicking on the timeline also removes the loading animation. Is there a way to fix this or is the problem with YouTube?

  • How can I add time to my video?

    I have an animation that I rendered out of 3DS MAX. It took 32 hours to output. The animation has movement, then freezes, then moves again. ect, ect... Currently the time where it is "frozen" is about 2 seconds. I need to extend that to 4 seconds.
    How can I take a section of video and stretch the time it takes to play that section.
    Other useful information. The whole animation was rendered as an image sequence. If all else fails, I could chop up the video, inset single images where I need more time and stretch the length of that image and continue the video on the other end of that image. I need to do this about 10 times...so the easiest way for me will be the best way.
    Thanks,
    Dean

    Do you need to maintain an image sequence? Usually the answer to that is no.
    Convert to a movie format and just use timeremapping to give yourself some stretches. You just set hold keyframes in the time parameter.
    This can also be accomplished by precomposing the image sequence and applying time keyframes to the precomp.

    I would suggest that you go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Then, you can drag your new video clip on top of your old clip and a popup menu should appear. Choose REPLACE.
