How do I add a quicktime (10.0) audio track to imovie (8.0.6)?

I would like to add a quicktime (10.0) audio track to imovie (8.0.6). The audio is in .mov format. When I go to import it, it is grey and will not allow me to click on it. I tried to put it into itunes and select it from there but I can't figure out how.

You might have more success converting it into an AIFF file.
Try this: Download MPEG Streamclip, it's a free utility that allows you to do a lot of different conversions on audio and video clips. What we're going to to try is save an AIFF to 48kHz and re-import it into iMovie and see if there's a difference.
Once you download MPEG Streamclip, open it and go to File Menu> Open Files... and navigate out to your AIFF file. Make sure the drop down list at the bottom of the window has All Files listed (instead of just Audio or just Video). If you don't show all files, it will gray out files it doesn't recognize. Once you have your audio clip selected, click Open.
From the File Menu > Export Audio... choose AIFF and under Sample rate: choose 48kHz. Click OK
Save the clip to the Desktop, maybe give it a different name (say #2 added to the end). Quit MPEG Streamclip. In iMovie drag your new AIFF file to the project timeline.

How Do I Add A Pre-recorded Voice Over to an iMovie Project?

I have an audio file with the voice over I want to add to my movie project (which has an insturmental music track I want to duck during the voice over). How can I add this pre-recorded voice over track to my project?

You can drag in the voiceover file and drop it on top of the clip where you want it to start. It does not have to be perfectly placed, because you can fine tune it later by dragging.
I would suggest putting your voiceover file in iTunes and dragging in from the music browser, but it also works to drag in from the Finder. If you drag in from the Finder, you must take care not to move it later, or the iMovie Project will not be able to find it.

How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a separate clone stamp?

How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a clone stamp without the clone stamp assuming the same initial/continuous positions of the tracking point?
Is there a way to keep the clone stamp's initial position and then add the path onto it?
I am using the clone stamp to remove unwanted duct tape that was used to keep lights on a wall.

I have spent two days trying to find a solution to this exact same problem. I have seen some overly complex solutions that probably work but trying to figure out the explanations is like trying to understand someone describe drag coefficients of rotary wing aircraft. While I am sure they work, they are way above my comprehension. I wanted an intuitive and straight forward solution for something that shouldn't require some arcane technique to fix.
What I did:
1) I used the Clone Stamp tool to paint over the spot on the wall I wanted to remove.
2) picked a more easily discernible point of reference for Tracking. In my case, I used a poster on the wall.
3) As per the instructions here, https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/removing-an-object-with-clone-stamp, I pasted the Attach Point data from the Tracker into Clone -> Transform - > Position
However, that didn't work for me as the object I was painting was not the object I was tracking. The solution from the video was simply moving my cloned spot to the tracked object instead of leaving it where I wanted it. So...
4) I then manually adjusted the Anchor Point of the Clone back to the original spot I wanted to cover.
I played footage and the cloned region successfully moved with the spot I was covering.
This is what I was able to figure out. I'm not an advanced user. I only use After Effects every couple of months when I need to fix minor things in footage, so I've only learned to use what techniques I need for the job at hand. No doubt, experienced users may shake their heads at my simplistic fix. I'm sure my technique would be wholly inadequate for situations far more complex than fixing spots on a gray wall, which is why my eyeballs cross when reading suggestions that seem way more involved than one would expect for something as seemingly minor as this. It's just a spot! It should be super easy to remove, right? Well, that's what I was looking for and that's what I came up with. I hope it helps.

How can I change the gain on one audio track in the selection?

How can I change the gain on one audio track in the selection? Is there a way to adjust the gain as it is implemented for example in cubase - pull waveform up and gain varies?

I'm not sure what you mean by "in the selection", or, more honest: I don't understand that at all.
So, instead I'm going to tell you that you can indeed adjust the Gain of one or more selected region(s) in the Region inspector on the left hand side.

Add to iTunes as an Audio Track only work for TTS voice Alex

I tried to select a whole document and right click "Add to iTunes as an Audio Track"
However I notice that if I chose a Voice that is not the default "Alex", (e.g a British English voice Daniel) the audio track does not read the whole document that I selected. I tried a few other voice it does the same, it stoped at some point at the document. When I choose System voice "Alex", it reads the whole document.
Also I am using a voice that is not Alex for my text to speech voice and it all work fine when I use "speech-start speaking"
Is this a bug or something?

HI christos,
Make sure to select the text you wish to convert into an itunes spoken track. and then after using the command check in itunes. to see if the track shows up.

How do I add more than one video per track/layer?

Hi.
Could someone please advise me how I can add more than one video to a track/layer?
I'm cutting and pasting parts and each time I paste, a new track/layer is added.
The final video is going to be approximately 5 minutes long.
I am 17 seconds in and have 54 tracks already!
How do I stop this?
Thank you very much
J

More video tracks. This is actually what you want.
Unless you're just making a still image (like Photoshop), multiple layers give you control to animate each individually. (If it's just a Photoshop comp you're after, you may want to create it in Photoshop)
If you want to move ALL OF THE VIDEO TRACKS TOGETHER, you can use
parenting or
precompose those individual layers into a single composition.

How do i add picture icon in my local commerial for imovie hd

How do i add any picture icon during my video clip and its for producing my own commerial for the imovie hd?

welcome andew to the  boards ...
you want a 'station bug', a pic-in-pic effect, right?
actually not supported by iM, so you need a 3rd party plug-in to teach iM the new trick .. have a look at

or, in case, you own QTpro, you can add a grafic to a dv-stream with that ..

Hi ChrisGross,
I'm not quite clear the meaning that you described in the post. What's mean when you say "next custom column Title in a drop down" and "dropdown with the custom column headers" ? Please also explain the meaning of detail
view and borad view. What's the version of TFS you're using?
It would be better to post screenshots here to let us know the detailed customization that you want to do. If you cannot post screenshots, you can post links(Maybe remove hyperlink if you account is not verfied) to the screenshots that saved in OneDrive.
For cutome work item field, you can refer to the links below to see if they're helpful. If the customization can't be done, you can elaborate more details about the scenario so that we can help your further. Thanks for your understanding.

Export to Quicktime with multiple Audio Tracks?

Hi all --
I am on a tight deadline (48 hrs!) to deliver a Quicktime Prores file with 6 audio tracks: ch 1+2 dialog, ch 2+3 music&effects, ch 4+5 stereo mix. I'm working with FCP 6.
Now, I have figured out how to export the FCP 6 project to a Quicktime file with multiple audio tracks (in the Project settings, I specify 3 stereo channels, then I assign each audio track to one of the channels and export everything to a Quicktime file).
However, how can I send a stereo mix to channels 4+5?? FCP only allows me to assign each audio track one but not multiple output channels, and I didn't see a way where I could create a bus.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Something is being miscounted here. You say you have dialog on 1+2 and then say you have M&E on 2+3? I think you meant to say 3+4 and the stereo mix will be on 5+6. The easiest way to do this is to copy tracks 1-4 to tracks 5-8 by shift-option-dragging them there. Holding option will copy the tracks instead of moving them and holding shift will insure that the tracks will not move earlier or later. Then send 5+6 (dialog) to the 5+6 output (using the info in the above referenced discussion) and send 7+8 (music&effects) also to the 5+6 output. Done.

Any way to export QuickTime w/ multiple audio tracks?

I remember seeing QuickTime movies where on playback you can select which audio tracks to listen to. Kind of like director's commentary or different language versions for the same video stream...
Is there a how-to guide for making a movie like this in FCP? We have one video file and multiple audio files that we've placed in different tracks in the timeline but when we export to a QuickTime movie they get all merged together. We tried setting it up with multiple audio channels and then control-clicking to get that menu with each audio track and putting them into the different channels, but there must be something we're missing...
Is this something only FCP 6 can do? I think we have version 5.
thanks!

I'm a little rusty on this - and without access to FCP 5 at the immediate moment - but I think the key is to set your sequence to have multiple (as in more than 2) audio outputs, then select Channel-Grouped for audio during the Export via QT Conversion.
If that doesn't work, you could always paste additional audio tracks onto your movie in QT Pro. After all, you'll need to tweak your language settings for audio track in QT Pro.
But where have you seen this implemented to do a Director's commentary-type option? I've read that multiple (discrete) audio tracks work only if they're tagged as different languages and the user's playback system is setup for one of those languages. (But I've been wrong before...)
And welcome to the forums.

Exporting quicktime with 4 audio tracks for broadcast

Hi,
Does anyone know how to do this? i need to get a program out to a broadcast quicktime file with sync on 1&2 and M&E on 3&4, i have the sequence setup correctly as did a digi playout for the same thing which was fine. However, if i do 'export quicktime' with sequence settings i only get two audio chanels. If i go to quicktime conversion then all the drop down menus for multiple audio chanels are greyed out.
Any ideas?
Best,
GK

if i do 'export quicktime' with sequence settings i only get two audio chanels
how are up you assessing this? QT Player has only 2 playback channels and additional channels will be mixed down to those ... but if you press Cmd-J to open the movie properties you should see all 4 channels are there, or if you reimport your exported file back into FCP you'll see it contain the 4 audio tracks as exported ... if not then your export settings are not correct :/

Exporting Quicktime with discreet audio tracks

How in FCP do you export a quicktime file with more than two channels of audio that are discreet?

Hi -
For FCP 7:
Click on your timeline.
Type Command - 0 (Zero) and click on the Audio Outputs Tab.
Change the number of outputs you want, and set the track pairs up as stereo or dual mono, as you want.
Click OK, a warning dialog box will come up that you can dismiss.
On the timeline, Option-Click on each audio track right below the auto-select toggle icon, and from the drop down menu, route the track to the desired output track.
When done, export the Quicktime movie.
The only way you will verify that all the tracks are there is to either open the exported quicktime in Quicktime pro and menu Window > Show Movie Properties. You'll see the additional tracks listed there -OR- just import the exported movie back into FCP and bring it up in the Viewer, you'll see all the audio tracks.
Make sure you restore your sequence back to two channel ouput, if you want, when you are done.
Hope this helps.

How do you make a audiomixdown of 4 Audio Tracks in a Sequenz ?

I have the following Problem.
A Sequenz with 4 different Audio tracks. 2 Tracks with ambience sound,1 channel with voice over and 1 channel with the interview sound.
For the final playout i need on channel 1 the final mix of all 4 tracks and on channel 2 the IT Mix (ambience sound and Interviews sound).
Now my question how do i make a audiomixdown of the different channel , with the Avid mediacomposer it is quite easy you select the desired tracks and make a mixdown. Is there also an mixdown option in Finalcut?
Thanks for the help.
Jan

Welcome to the forums.
Well, you can ASSIGN what audio channel the various tracks of audio get output to. But I don't think you can do what you are asking. Because once you assign track 2, 3, and 4 to go out CH 1, then you cannot again assign them to go out to CH 2. The sound can only go out one channel at a time.
Best thing would be to export AIFF files from the timeline with all the tracks you need...turn off the ones you don't need when you export for CH2.
