How to delete video - preserve audio

There is a point in my video that I want to delete the picture of the video but keep my audio to run over a still image. I want to do this because I am trying to use a transition to the still image but for some reason when it is transitioning - I am catching the first clip of the video instead of going right to the still image.. I hope this makes sense. Any input would be awesome. All of the answers I am finding online have to do with the older version of iMovie. I am new to iMovie and am teaching myself. thanks!

This is how I would do it:
Split the movie at the end of the location where you want the still to appear (Modify - Split Clip).  Detach the audio from the first part of the split video (Select, right-click - detach audio) and place the still between the two video parts.  Now trim back the first part of the video until it plus the still (set to the desired duration)  finish at the exact end of the audio track (which will show in green) so that when joined the audio will not have any gaps or anything missing.   Add the desired transitions into and out of the still and you are done. 
Geoff.

  • How to unlink video and audio in FCPX

    I am new in FCPX.. can someone tell me how to unlink video and audio in FCPX ? and how to mute audio rather than low the -db ?

    There's no 'Unlink' audio (as such) in FCP X but if you select a clip in the timeline, and press Shift+Ctrl+S, the audio breaks away from the clip. Select this, and you can toggle it on and off by pressing V.
    Take care with this, because it's easy to get the audio out of sync. You need to move the audio and video together if you have to move them, so I would select them both and press Option+G to make them into a Compound Clip (to preserve sync).
    To mute the audio embedded in a clip, select the clip in the timeline and press Cmd+4 to open the Inspector.
    Click the Audio Tab at the top of the Inspector and uncheck the Audio Waveform(s). Your Audio will be muted.
    To mute audio for the entire project, go to the Roles tab in the Timeline Index (next to the film reel icon) and uncheck Audio or Dialogue (as appropriate).

    Hi
    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

    How to delete definitively a audio files?
    Thank's

    If on a track remove the audio, then in the Media Bin select it and under Audio File choose Show File(s) in Finder. Now delete the audio from the Media Bin and trash it also in the Finder, save your project and the audio will be gone for good. If you want to keep the audio in the Finder then you skip trashing in the Finder of course!
    Have a nice day!

  • How to delete video from iTunes library

    Hello, I've only had my ipod for a few weeks now. I've finaly figured out how to rip dvds/encode them, etc. During this trial and error period I was putting all kinds of junk in my itunes library.
    My question is how to remove videos from my itunes library.
    ..one more question.
    I've been using a dvd ripper and video converter made by Xilisoft. After I import the movie from my pc to itunes video library and ipod, I've noticed that the audio doesn't match up with the video. Its like watching a poorly dubbed kung fu movie. Has anybody used Xilisoft software and had the same problems? If so, what did you do to recify the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    self-built   Windows XP Pro  

    OK, I finally figured it out. I still don't have the clear option available. I had to double click on video, highlight, then press delete.
    I'm curious why I don't have a clear option like I do in library.
    Oh well, at least I can delete old files from my itunes now.
    Thanks for the quick responses.

  • How to edit video to audio with a sub-frame precision?

    As all of my other posts I must begin by stating that this is not an RTFM issue. I have read the manuals and searched the web and this forum already.
    Also I beg you to read this question first before answering some nonsense. Ok, off the soapbox now.
    I am having issue synching video to audio.
    I am editing a music video at the moment at 23.976 fps. There is a master sound track (48/16) to which all of the video must be synched.
    I have not found a way of changing the position of a video clips in the timeline relative of the master audio track with a higher than a frame precision in order to obtain a perfect lip-sync.
    I am aware of the fact that one should enable "display audio units" in the timeline in order to shift an audio track relative the video with the sub frame precision, which is very useful when doing dialogue replacement to a video. For the video I am still not able to do so. Is it at all possible? Is there a workaround?
    How do they achieve a perfect lipsync when they make professional music videos?
    Thank you!

    Actually, you can set markers on the audio clip between frames.  I rember this from Jacob Robenbergs book Premiere Pro 2.0 Studio Techniques.
    You double click on the audio clip.  It opens in the Source monitor.  Then click on the fly-out menu and select SHOW AUDIO UNITS.
    Now in the source monitor you can place a marker (to be used for syncing) anyhere within the frame.  Set a numbered marker.
    Now you have a sync marker intraframe on the Audio.  You then sync this audio marker the Frame you need. Select both clips and choose syncronize.
    So it is not sub video frame, it is sub Audio frame to the correct video frame start.
    See below.  The audio sync marker is in the middle of the frame.  Hope this helps.

  • How to link video and audio channels of multiple clips

    Importing iMovie08 sequence via XML ends up with unlinked video and audio channel (only one of the stereo channels; see other post).
    It is possible to link each clips audio and video track individualy.
    Is there a way to do it in batch mode for all the clips in de timeline??

    1. After selecting the in points on main audio and one of two video tracks, the "merge clips" is greyed. Yes,in case you're wondering, the audio is on the HD.
    Your use of language is confusing me I'm afraid. You opened the AIFF file and set an IN then opened a QuickTime movie and set and IN and then with them both selected in the Browser (and the Browser the active window) that you cannot select Modify->Merge Clips... ?
    I wasn't wondering anything about your audio, but now I'm wondering "What does 'the audio is on the HD' mean?"
    2. The other issue is that the starting point is silent, so the only I know how to find the actual beginning is by counting frames back from the first sound. Is that what I have to do? Is would seem to me that there must be a "marker" that's not and "in" or "out" that will allow me to merge the tracks. No?
    If you set an IN point in two clips you can merge them using the Merge Clips... command with the in points option. The IN points you choose can be anywhere and for anything. They can be where the clapper hits and sounds, they can be where a drum stick hits a cymbal, they can be where someone is clapping, they can be where a body falls from a building onto the sidewalk... Anything that helps you sync the sound with picture.

  • How to get video and audio while chatting with your PC friends.

    Just download a program called ivisit.
    http://www.ivisit.com/
    Everything else I tried sucked. Nothing worked. Yahoo, MSN, AOL IM... they all crapped out. But ivisit rocked right out of the gate, and you can get it free.
    WIth the lite version you get only one connection and it lasts for an hour. After the hour you lose video but audio and chat still works. You have to be disconnected fro the other user for a half hour for the video feed to work again.
    But if your itching to connect to your family with your new iSight and all the other big name programs are disapointing you, then one hour is plenty of time.
    ivisit saved my christmas.

    I agree. iVisit was a lifesaver. I was regreting getting my iSight until I had a successful connection. It was truly a Macintosh program - easy to setup, intuitive, not too much tech stuff to resort to figure out how things work. I was unhappy with resolution, though. You have to pay to get good resolution.

  • How To Sync Video To Audio

    Hello all
    I edit a wedding and notice that during the speeches the video and audio is out of sync the speaker is using a mike. Looking at the output on the TV everything is in sync but in the timeline it is totally of sync. Why is that? I look at the TV when recording so I didn't notice that after playing back the recorded DVD. I try to Mark in Sync in the Modify but it is not highlited I could be making the wrong move. If any one can make a suggestion I sure will appreciate it.
    Thanks
    Sabrina

    You always have to monitor your audio through the same path as the video.
    If it is in sync when you are sending your audio and video to the external monitor (through firewire) you are fine. If you CANVAS or VIEWER shows otherwise, you have audio and video going to different output devices.
    In short, always monitor through firewire (if it's DV) and have audio set to AUDIO FOLLOWS VIDEO. That way, you will always know the truth (or at least FCP's version of it...)
    cheers,
