How do I send only the sound track from iMovie to Media browser?

I need some wild sound for an iMovie 09 project I'm working on in Garageband (working on the soundtrack). I want to take some wild sound from a clip in iMovie and export it to the media browser so that I can use it in the project in Garageband. I detached the audio on the clip in iMovie and tried deleting the video, but it deletes the detached sound as well.
Any tips, tricks, or solutions on sending just the sound from iMovie to the media browser would be much appreicated.
thanks

With the project open, from iMovie's menu select "Share > Export using QuickTime". For the Export option select "Sound to AIFF". Give it a name and select your Save location. As far as I know, you can't save to the Media Browser as this is contained in the project's package contents folder. So save it to a convenient location (such as your Desktop) and navigate to this from GarageBand. It's probably best if you firstly move the file to, say, your Music folder or iTunes before using it in GarageBand. Otherwise, the links may be lost if you later move it from the Desktop (whereas you are less likely to move it from Music or iTunes).

Can I import and play just the sound track from a video?

I downloaded some video clips with sound and imported them as QT videos into i-tunes - no problem. But how can I now play just the sound track and import it into a music playlist so I can play it on my Ipod in the car? (Or if I put the video on my Ipod - it's a sound only one, not a video one - will it just play the sound track?)
Thanks

Without knowing anything about the nature of the video files you're talking about, all I can say is that if they contain audio, you can extract it. The process may not be lossless, unless you extract the audio and convert it to Apple Lossless, WAV or AIFF. If your iPod is an older one, you may be limited in the formats you can play.
For a simple way to extract the audio only, you can use the Streaming/Exporting Wizard in VLC. You can also, depending on the format of the source movie, export audio with Toast or even iMovie to formats compatible with iPods.

How can I delete ONLY the GPS coordinates from my Hi Res images WITHOUT "Save four Web" or Lightroom

Hello,
I take hi res pics of rare wildlife and plants with both my Camera's and iPhone's GPS deliberately ENABLED. Use the photos and their GPS coordinates to document and plot my sightings with dates on maps. CANNOT disclose those locations to others. I do want to keep the metadata in my pics to the very end.
Use Photohop Extended CS 6 MAC. Save files as hi res TIFF or PSD and sometimes e-mail/upload my pics to the web when I'm done.
I CANNOT use "Save for Web" to delete my metadata — I don't want the jpeg's lossy compression. Need to preserve color profiles.
Don't have Lightroom.
How do use Photoshop to remove ONLY the GPS coordinates from my hi res images EXIF data??? Want to keep other EXIF data.
Surely Adobe can provide this life-saving service?
Thanks

Yep, as others mentioned, just use Bridge and delete the entries there. You can select a whole batch of files and do them all at once.

Re ilife 11: I bought it so I could manipulate the sound WITHIN an imovie clip. The sound track in imovie 09 fluctuates wildly following export of the movie. It seems that ilife 11 in fact does not have improved controls. Any suggestions?

Can I transfer my files to the apple movie "pro" system instead? I forget what its proper name is. With that programme like the old imovie of '05 approximately, you can grab the sound track within a clip and manipulate its volume up or down.
I need to do that to compensate for the coder problems in imovie 09 and 11 soundtracks.

This can be done quite easily in iMovie '11.
Firstly, click on the waveform icon at the bottom right of iMovie's window (also at the lower right of the Project window) - shown here:
You will see the volume level line within the waveform. For the section you wish to lower the volume, click and drag across the waveform so that it is highlighted with a yellow border. Now you can drag the volume line up and down. See the following example, showing the different volume levels:
TIP: Set the thumbnail slider (next to the waveform icon) to half a second - this will show more detail in the waveform, with each thumbnail representing half a second of video.

HT201343 mirroring works through my phone but only the sound works from my mac. It has worked before but now suddenly it doesn't

I can only get the sound going when mirroring through my macbook. it worked before but now suddenly only sound comes through. There's no problem mirroring my iphone or my ipad. then i get sound and picture. it must be a setting. what have i done and how do i sort it out?
when mirroring the screen just goes black.

I am having a similar problem, that has just started recently. I am on OS 10.5.8 with all security updates run. My Mail account is an IMAP account. When I check my mail through webmail on Safari, my new messages show up immediately. However, Mail does not show them. Clicking the "check mail" button does not bring them in. I have to quit Mail and re-start it, then the messages show.
I tried to implement Ernie's solution of turning off "Use IDLE". That command is ticked in my preferences, however it is greyed out and I can't change it. Why is that? If it helps, my IMAP path prefix is blank, I'm using port 133, and "use SSL" is not ticked. These are all default settings that I have used successfully for years and haven't fiddled with.

How can I remove only the middle elements from a 2-D array?

Hello all!
We have had an issue at my work where some of our graphs featuring a Gaussian curve have an unusual rectangular distortion in the middle of the curve (sorry that I have no image to show you, the error is before my time at the company, and I've been asked to find a solution before it happens again). Basically, what should be a Gaussian curve is leveling off briefly and looking like a rounded square wave. We know what causes the distortion, so I only wish to remove the middle part, giving it the appearance of a Gaussian. It's odd, but it actually offers a good approximation of what we want. The graph is made from a 2-D array of Double values, and we can estimate the size of the leveled-area, so I figured that removing the middle elements from the graph would accomplish this. Does anybody know a way I can accomplish this?

How can i fetch only the updated contacts from SQLServer to local SQLite database?

Hi,
I need to update my local AIR Contact application (HTML/AJAX) with the new contacts from the SQL Server (interacting with J2EE).
How can i do it?
Do, i have to create a background thread which Pulls (requests) data periodically, and the server response is an XML file with sql scripts? If yes, How can i do this. Is there an sample application whose source i can look at?
Thanks.

Is there a way to remove the command R from opening my media browser?

I use command + t quite often when I am adjusting a track to sync with my drums, and once in a while I will accidentally click the command + R, which opens up my media browser. This little accident ALWAYS takes about 20 - 30 seconds to open, which would be fine once in a while, but once this happens the first time Garageband always takes a lot longer to respond to my editing until I restart the program, which is a huge hassle when I am on a roll. I would just like to remove the key command from allowing this to happen, if there is some way to do this I would be very happy to know how to get this taken care of.
Thanks!
Erik

Brilliant, HangTime! I missed that menu - I was looking in the "Windows" menu.
This works:
I added "GarageBand.app" to the "Application Shortcut" section (press "+") and added new shortcuts ⇧⌘R to Show Media Browser and Hide Media Browser.
Now the ⌘R does not do anything any longer
(You have to log off and on, or to force quit the Finder and restart GarageBand for the changes to take effect! )
Now it is "⇧⌘R" - you can use any key combination you like instead.

How can I use the sound track from a movie as background in the menu

I have created a short movie in IMovie that I want to use in the IDVD menu and also want to use the soundtrack from that movie as the background for that menu. Thus far, I have not found a way to make that happen.

Extract the audio from the movie with either Quicktime Pro, iMovie or a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus Pro and use it as the menu's audio.

Sound track from imovie not exporting to idvd

I set an audio track to video and photos in imovie from the ilife sound samples in the media section. When I send the movie to idvd, the video encodes but then idvd freezes at the encode audio part. The burn wheel stops turning, the scroll bar stops and then the rainbow pin wheel shows up. I have to force quit and the dvd does not burn to disc. What can I do to encode audio and complete the butn to disc?

Hello, songthief!
Welcome to the discussions!
What format was the commercial CD song? Did it play in iMovie?
You might want to re-record it to get it into a form that iDVD will burn. You can do this several ways. Here are two suggestions:
1. Import the song into iTunes, then burn it to a CD. Reimport the song from the CD back into iTunes in AIFF, then import it into your iMovie.
2. Record the song using WireTap Pro and import the AIC file that it creates into your imovie.
Also, one more tip:
Don't send your iMovie to iDVD from WITHIN your iMovie. Close your finished iMovie, open iDVD, create your project and then drag/drop your iMovie into iDVD's main screen. You will find your movie in 'Media' ->'Movies.' This prevents double rendering of your clips, 'jaggies' in your final burned DVD and other problems.

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.
