How to edit audit in iMovie 9

I'm almost loosing it with this version of iMovie. (I was very happy with v6 until it would not import some mp4 files.)
In v6 editing audio is a breeze, what with the audio tracks being displayed independantly, making it it easy to cut, lower/increase volume etc.
How do I do the same thing in v9??? I can't find a way to display audio tracks in a similar way.
It is literally driving me nuts! Searching solutions on the web have not been helpful at all.
Thank you.

  • How to edit dvd in imovie

    Hi,
    I am trying to transfer old home films to dvd.
    I first have to have them transfered to a mini dv, then they will put it onto a dvd.
    I would like to do basic editting - cut out some scenes, add fade in transitions, some text etc.
    How would I be able to put the dvd into imovie?
    Would imovie work for my project, or do I need a different editting program?
    Thanks so much for any suggestions!
    Diane

    Imovie is setup to work with mini dv cameras. Instead of having someone put it on dvd, why not get the mini dv tape, hook your camera (or one borrowed from a friend) up to your mac, and import the footage into imovie which will do all the editing you mention.
    Then you can burn to a dvd with idvd.

  • How to edit audio in imovie

    First time using Imovie and for the most part I'm doing relatively well.  I need to know how to stop a rather long audio track at a specific point and begin another that's more appropriate for the video.

  • How to Edit Titles, Transitions, and Music in a Copy of an iMovie Project?

    23 December 2009
    Dear Mac Users:
    Happy Holidays! I am writing to find out how to edit a copy of an iMovie project. A friend made an
    iMovie (project) on his MacBook Pro and sent it to me as an MPEG4 video file. I opened that MPEG4 video file in iMovie on my MacBook Pro and dragged it into a new project in my Project Library--we
    are both using iMovie '09.
    Is there any way that I can view the title, transition, and music buttons/icons/markers that my friend used to create this particular iMovie project so that I can select them and make changes to the titles, transitions, and music? Primarily, I want to change the titles in this particular iMovie project, but do not see the buttons/icons/markers that are associated with the original iMovie project that my friend created. Is there any way that I can make changes to the titles and transitions that appear in this project on my computer?
    SIncerely,
    Corey

    *24 December 2009*
    *Dear Mac Users:*
    Hello. Thanks to AppleMan1958 for answering my question about how to edit an iMovie project
    on another computer.
    Here is a question related to the process of transferring the iMovie '09 project file from my friend's
    computer to an external drive so that I can edit that project in iMovie '09 on my MacBook Pro:
    How do I know if my Smart Disk FireLite portable external drive is formatted to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)? How I do format this Smart Disk FireLite USBFLB80C to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)?
    When I connect the Smart Disk FireLite to my MacBook Pro via USB, open iMovie '09, and select View
    Events By Disk or rather "Group Events By Disk," an icon for the FireLite external drive appears, but there is a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark on the icon for the external drive. What does this "warning" mean? There are MP3s of music on the same external drive and they open just fine in iTunes. The one iMovie project file that is already on the drive will not open up in iMovie.
    So, how do I properly format this external drive in order to transfer an iMovie project file from my friend's computer so that I can edit it on my MacBook Pro using iMovie '09?
    Sincerely,
    Corey

  • How can I move my iMovie app to "purchased" in my appstore account???

    how can I move my iMovie app to "purchased" in my appstore account???

    I would not recommend that you move iMovie files to the Time Capsule. You will not get sufficient performance for editing. For this reason, iMovie does not show the Time Capsule as an attached drive within iMovie.
    If you move these files using the Finder, you will likely make the projects unusable, because the links between the projects and events will be broken.
    Use a locally attached external hard drive tha is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
    See this User Tip for how to move the Events and Projects to a locally attached drive. (By locally attached, I mean a drive that is attached to your Mac via USB, Firewire, or Thunderbolt cables.)

  • I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

    Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

  • How do I transfer an imovie from an external hard drive to my macbook pro iMovie 9

    How do I transfer an iMovie from an external hard drive to my macbook pro iMovie 11?

    The easiest way would be to just attach the external drive to the MacBook Pro. iMovie should see it next time you open iMovie.
    If you are going for portability, you can attach the external drive to the MacBook Pro. Then open iMovie.
    Then click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. You should see your external drive listed in the Project Library and the Event Library.
    To make a COPY just drag the icon for your project to the icon for the external drive in the Project Library List.
    To MOVE it, hold down the command key while you drag.
    If you want to edit the project, you will also want any Events, Photos, or Music referenced in the Project. To get those, click on the Project to select it (it is now on the MacBook Pro) and click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA.

  • Import Edited Video Into iMovie 8.0.5

    I have an edited movie that I created on a previous version of iMovie. I saved the movie to mini DV tape. I want to import the movie in its edited version to iMovie 8.0.5. When I import it, it puts the clips out of order, esp transitions and titles. It seems that there must be some timecode in the DV somewhere that iMovie 8.0.5 is using to reorder the fully edited video. The question is then: How do you import a fully edited movie into iMovie without it reordering it into clips. If there is no option to import the clip, then I will have to re-edit the entire movie -- a true waste of time. Please help. Robert.

    Hello, Robert, and Welcome to the Discussions,
    iMovie 9 (v 8.x) cannot import an earlier version of iMovie and keep its edits. You will get the clips, edited clips, photos, but no effects or titles, and all the transitions will be converted to cross-dissolves.
    If you still have the previous iMovie version used to create that movie, you can export it as Quick Time Full Quality and import that QT movie into iMovie 09.

  • How to edit i-tunes s.a. fade in, fade out, cut and save for burning CD ?

    How to edit i-tunes, s.a. fade in fade out, cut and save for burning CD.
    I was directed to this forum by i-tunes helpdesk. Can some give advise how I can process those additional features that are not available in i-tunes 8 ?

    Hi
    iMovie'08 & 09 is not the best tools to do a DVD or a DiskImage (via iDVD) from.
    You use iDVD to do the DiskImage - but that's when the movie is done.
    You can't (at least I can't) do a diskimage first then put a movie into it.
    The movie has to be encoded eg .mpeg2 and that's including the rest of the DVD structure too.
    No body builds houses - roof first then the supporting walls to end with throwing
    in a basement as a last action.
    To do a Data-DVD (*not playable in a DVD-player*) is another story.
    Just insert the DVD disk and when asked select format.
    This makes a DVD-ROM and You can drop movies and other files into this but
    when burned (taken out) it's done (one time burn)
    Please elaborate on what You want to be the result.
    iMovie HD 6 and iDVD'08 or 09 is a very nice combination.
    Yours Bengt W

  • How do I open a iMovie 2.0 file in iMovie HD? Does it convert?

    How do I open a iMovie 2.0 file in iMovie HD? Does it convert?
    I have a movie from iMovie vers. 2.0.1. I want to open it on our new Mac Mini which uses iMovie HD 5.0.2.
    Please tell me this is doable. Or can I get a copy of iMovie 2.0 to run it on my new Mac? I want to make copies of the movie by burning a dvd. Pls help.

    iMovie 2.0.1 ran in Mac OS 9, not Mac OS X. If I recall, it is necessary to boot your Mac into Mac OS 9 to run it. It won't run in Mac OS 9 Classic running inside Mac OS X. Your Mac cannot boot into Mac OS 9, so you probably can't run iMovie 2.0.1.
    You probably wouldn't want to anyway, for versions of iMovie that ran in Mac OS 9 used the OS 9 file name structure, which causes problems for projects converted to Mac OS X.
    The simplest solution is to simply import the project.mov file that's inside the iMovie 2 project folder to a new iMovie HD project. (Don't import the iMovie 2 project file, import its .mov file.) Because of the name problem, it's possible this won't work either, but it probably will.
    That will deliver the entire iMovie 2 project as a single clip to the iMovie HD project. The clips you had in iMovie 2 won't be editable, but everything will be there and play in the proper order.

  • How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

    How do i copy The iMovie video from Mac, to iPad mini?

    The easiest way is to firstly export the movie to iTunes (Share > iTunes), then sync the iPad Mini with iTunes. In iTunes, include your movie as an item to be synced. After syncing, on the iPad it will appear in the Videos app. That's how I do it for my wife's Mini.
    If you need help with exporting or with syncing to iTunes, please post back.
    I'm caught up with something else at the moment, otherwise I'd give you full instructions now (just wanted to get this to you quickly).

  • How to solve Audition CS6 error "The amount of audio to burn will not fit on the CD........."?

    I have a brand new PC that is MORE than adequate. I have once succeeded in burning a CD after learning all about time tracks and merging them. (made a few with only ONE track)
    Two things:
    1) I find that I must add a CD marker at the end of the WAV because Audition CS6 erases whatever is the last CD marker I've made. Very frustrating but now I know I have to do this but I have no idea WHY!!
    2) Right now I have a WAV that is just over 1 hour and 3 minutes with a total of 637.74MB of info. When I try to export/burn a CD, I get an error message stating "The amount of audio to burn will not fit.......".  I am using TDK 700MB blanks with a Pioneer Blu-ray burner.
    Obviously it will fit.
    What am I doing wrong, all of a sudden?

    Hey ryclark,
    Thanks for responding. Something else is going on here.....
    Here's what I re-replied to our friend...
    Thanks for the response.
    When I built this computer last Nov/Dec, it was built with the second 
    fastest Intel 7i, quad-core chipset on an 64-bit ASUS motherboard. It's  running
    Win 7 Pro. It has a 500GB SSD "C" drive with another 14 TB of true hard 
    drive space. It is set up with 64 bit. I had been using Audition CS3 for  many
    years and even go back to it's origin: Cool Edit and Cool Edit Pro. My 
    learning curve was minimal, sans the CD burning, which I used other software
    for  which is now antiquated, so I need Audition for this. Between this and 
    IZotope 3 I've repaired and improved many a recording. All-in-all extremely 
    useful software.
    As for the idea "to burn it anyway", well the error message comes up and 
    that's it - if I "X" out of that message and try to burn again the message
    comes  back  - so Audition will not let me. It is convinced that this file is 
    longer than it really is, but only when I add track  marks to it!
    There are only 11 tracks.
    I was able to burn a CD of this same file but without all the track marks, 
    so the same exact file length/size will burn, only as the one track.
    I've also succeeded in burning other WAV's , both greater and smaller, with
    and without multiple track marks, without issue. Of course all with less 
    than the CD's max. capacity.
    This problem seems to be with this one file. I've even  re-made/re-recorded
    the file from scratch with no change. There's something else  going on here
    that I can't put my finger on. (I am "recording" LP's and making  personal
    CDs of them)
    Also, only from time to time, I have another error after burning a CD that 
    states it could not verify the CD. For this I assume it is the blank rather
    than AA? The first might burn without issue and with the second burn I 
    get the error. It is near the end of a stack of blanks, so.....
    As for the need to "mark the end" of the file makes a lot of sense but of 
    all the other CD track-marking software I've used, none needed one to do
    this,  but this IS Adobe after all.
    You'd think there might be a smidge of intuitiveness with Adobe, but maybe 
    not.

  • How to edit the volume in a slide

    Hello,
    I don't know how to edit the audio volume in a slide.
    I need low volume at the begining and increasing volume while the slide is on.
    Can anybody tell me how to do it?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Captivate allows some audio editing but for what you want to achieve you need a typical audio application like Audition or Soundbooth. Audacity (free) will do as well.
