How do I use just the audio from a clip in imovie? No picture, no video, just audio!

I want to put the audio from a clip at the end of the video. No video, just black screen

It will require a bit of a workaround. But it can be done. If you enable Advanced Tools under the iMovie Preferences (Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences). Enable Advanced Tools by clicking the checkbox.
Now create  a title with a black background by dragging at title to the end of the video on the Project timeline. Once the title is there, delete all the text on the title. Now drag that black background directly dead center onto the video clip just before the end where you want to 'blot out' the video and just have audio. When you release the mouse, you will be shown a pop-up menu with a bunch of different options including one titled cut-away. Choose this option. What will happen is the video will cut to the black video background you dragged on top of the video clip. You can set the duration by dragging the left and right edges out further to make it run longer. This black back ground effectively cover the video and will continue to play the audio of the underlying video clip.

  • How do i create a still frame from a clip in iMovie 11? thanks

    Good morning. How do I create a still frame from a clip in iMovie 11.  Thanks

    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    Here is a video I made that steps through this...

  • How to make use of the Legend from XY graph?

    The hardware i am using will create a plot everytime i do a scan. I will upload the it result(plot) to another XY graph. I try to create a multi plot on the XY graph but it seems not working. I am wondering how can i make use of the legend that come with the XY graph to solve my problem.

    Hi,
    You should be able to plot as many XY arrays to the graph as you need. As long as you don't delete the previous plots they should remain there. This will make things much easier than dealing with 2 graphs.
    There is an example at "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI70\samples\userint\graphlegend.cws" that you can look at for an application with multiple plots.
    I hope this helps.
    Regards,

  • 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

    Informative thread indeed. Wish I saw it early enough. Managed to come up with the code below before I saw this thread.
    declare @TTName Table
    (TableSchemaTableName
    varchar
    (500),
    [status] int
    default 0);
    with AvailableTables
    (TableSchemaTableName)
    as
    (select
    QUOTENAME(TABLE_SCHEMA)
    +
    +
    QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME)
    from
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES)
    insert into @TTName
    (TableSchemaTableName)
    select *
    from AvailableTables
    declare @TableSchemaTableName varchar
    (500)
    declare @sqlstatement nvarchar
    (1000)
    while 1=1

  • The display on my MacBook Pro from 2007 finally gave out, how do I transfer all the data from the old one onto my new one?

    A week or so ago, the screen on the Macbook Pro I've had for 5 years went permanently black. The screen itself still works, but it's just all black. Went from flickering/flashing to black. I didn't have any kind of warranty on it or anything, and in addition to all of the other things about it that needed fixing, it seemed like it'd just be cheaper to get a new Macbook Pro.
    My question is: How do I get all the stuff from the old laptop to the new laptop without having to use the old laptop's display? Is there a cable I can use to connect the two, and I can just access the old one from the new one?

    FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?

  • How can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

    Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

    Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
    QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.

  • How can I find out the audio sampling rate of BetacamSP tape?

    Hi guys
    I'm trying to digitize BetacamSP tape. But I'm afraid if I might choose wrong setting...
    This tape is from very long time ago so we don't know which audio sampling rate we recorded with..
    How can I find out the audio sampling rate of this BetacamSP tape?
    Thanks:)

    The sampling rate is set by the Sony DVMCDA2 you are using, when the conversion is made from the analog input to the digital (DV) output. You should be outputting standard DV which is 16bit 48khz audio.
    Assuming you are in the US, your Easy Setup for FCP should be DV-NTSC, and then open the Log and Capture Pane and set the Capture Settings Device Control to Non-Controlable Device and you should be good to go.
    You will have to roll the deck manually and start and end your capture manually.
    You can download a user manual for the DVMCDA2 by clicking here.

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

  • How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

    I have recently bought a new mac mini running Lion, and yesterday I migrated an account off an older machine running Tiger.
    I want to delete the older account from this machine as it is causing some problems with i-cloud, but I want to transfer the photos first and add them to a different account on the new computer.
    So my question is How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

    Copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the Desktop of the new one.  Then download the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager, which is now compatible with Mt. Lion, and use it to merge the two libraries into a new, third library.  This will preserve the two libraries in case the merged library isn't to your liking. 
    Here are screenshots of iPLM's coping and merging preferences:
    When you're satisfied that the new, merged libraray is complete and working OK you can delete the two earlier libraries.
