How to trim an audio clip in Aperture ?

Hello,
I received your email regarding the change in the length of an audio clip (on the secondary runway) in a slideshow with Aperture.
You tell me to change the length of an audio clip on the main track, I have to change out of Aperture. My audio clip is in my iTunes library.
I am a beginner on Mac! How to access my iTunes library and get the "Info" menu of iTunes library in the Options menu?
Regards
Evelyne

Evelyne, you are referring to your previous question in this discussion, right?
How to reduce the length of an audio clip from the main track in a slideshow created with Aperture?
You tell me to change the length of an audio clip on the main track, I have to change out of Aperture. My audio clip is in my iTunes library.
If you want to shorten your audio file in the Main Audio Track, open iTunes (from the Dock, or from the Applications Folder, or from the LaunchPad).
In iTunes
select the song that you want to trim in the browser or in a playlist;
and open the "Info" panel (from the main menu bar: File > Get Info") or press the keyboard shortcut ⌘I.
Then select the "Options" tab in the panel and change the start and stop times and close the panel again by pressing the "ok" button.
Quit iTunes.
Restart Aperture.
In Aperture open your slideshow, click the iTunes icon to open the Media Browser and select the modified songs. Drag it to the TimeLine as background track.

How do I lock Audio clip at playhead in iMovie

Hi,
I have been using iMovie HD for years. Great program. Finally had to move on to iMovie 10. What a total disaster that is. I have a myriad of issues with it, as does everyone else, but right now I am trying to figure out how to lock an audio clip at the playhead, as one essentially needs to be able to do for even pretty simple home movie edits. Am I being stupid or has this functionality been entirely removed by some genius Apple programmer? Why do I get the feeling that what used to be a brilliant and intuitive piece of software has been completely eviscerated to the point of uselessness?
Any ideas? Thanks
Richard

No, it's not been removed. You just need to drag your audio clip to the right place.
In your case, you want to drag it directly to the timeline and not to the background music well below the timeline.

Thanks for the advice given by Shooternz, Colin and Jim. Your help is much appreciated for a beginner like me... Jim's idea was also good..It worked for me and also safe if I need to use the original audio. Following method also found good...but previous audio clip cannot be extracted after deleting it. ... 1. Hold down "ALT" key first then select the first audio clip in the chain of video clips to Delete. 2. Hold down " Shift + Alt " keys together and click right mouse button on all audio clips to be deleted one by one. Make sure only audio clips are selected. 3. Then release ALT+Shift keys and then click right mouse button and select "Clear" from pull down menu to Delete all selected audio clips on the time line. This method works very well for me. Thanks for every one who has adviced me how to do it. Thanks guys... If u all find better method tha above...please inform us. Thx.

How to get around audio clips' audio changes not working

Here is how I got around the annoying (and recurring) problem of audio clips not being adjustable. First, it's a good idea to add your music track as the very last thing you do. Often, when I am editing a video together, as soon as I drop in a full length music track, I'm no longer able to make changes to my audio clips. So now I drop in the music track as the very last thing I do to my project. If I want to test a music track in the file, then I drop it in, press Command G to preview my project, and when I'm done previewing the project with the music track, I immediately press Command Z to undo the addition of the music track. If, for whatever reason, I'm still having problems with audio clips no longer updating changes I make to them, I have discovered a trick that works: make the changes to the clip's audio, then copy the clip, then delete it, then paste it. The pasted version should now have the updated audio adjustments. Worked for me, anyway.

How to record an audio clip in Premiere Pro cc with USB mic on PC

Hey All,
Having trouble finding a solution on the web. I have just made the switch to Premiere Pro CC from Final Cut Pro 7, and also from Mac to PC, yikes I know. I am looking to record some audio clips directly into PP with my USB mic. I have successfully hooked up my usb mic through the PC control panel. My ignorance will be apparent here, What should I do next in Premiere Pro to begin recording my clips?

How can I cut audio clips within iMovie?

This may be a simple solution but I just can't seem to figure it out. I would like to add audio (music) to just the beginning of my iMovie project. But whenever I drop a music file into the timeline, it stretches it all the way through the entire movie.
Also, I'd like to know how to only adjust my voice to certain clips of the movie, and not the whole entire timeline.

If you only want the sound clip for a set period of time, drag it on top of one of the video clips near the beginning that will prevent the audio from becoming a 'background music clip'. Grab the title bar of that clip in the Project window and drag it until the whole background area changes from purple/green to the normal dark grey color of the Project window. Same would apply to your voice clips as well, just drag those sound clips right on the very middle of the thumbnail image of the video clip, and then slide it around to where it needs to be by dragging it to the left or right.

How to drag video & audio clip up one track simultaneously?

In 6.5, when I dragged a video clip from Video Track 1 to Video Track 2, the audio automatically followed from Audio Track 1 to Audio Track 2. Not so in Pro 3.0 and I assume 4.0. Can this be changed?

Hi, I am a novice with a similar question.
I have imported HD ACVHD files into Premiere Pro CS4.
When I drag & drop the file into Video 1 on my timeline, the audio automatically defaults into the Audio 4 track.
I want those audio files in Audio 1.
I have tried to unlink each clip and then group the audio files and drag them to Audio 1, but Premiere will not let me do it.
A pair of two-part questions about how I can (and should) accomplish the task:
1. Can I drag & drop the audio files from Audio 4 to Audio 1, and if so, how?
2. Why does it default like this, and what can I do to change the preset?
It's kind-of an urgent matter, so I would appreciate any feedback any experienced users can provide me,
Thanks, D.

How to normalize all audio clip volumes using iMovie (2013)?

Normalizing clip volumes was very easily accomplished in previous versions of iMovie, but this feature appears to have been deleted in iMovie (2013), a.k.a. version 10.0.3. My project is a simple slideshow with songs added from iTunes, but the volume levels of the songs are all different, and it would be nice to be able to automatically normalize the volumes for all of the songs. Any advice would be appreciated!

The normalize volume feature is indeed gone. You have to adjust manually, selecting the audio track of each song in turn.

How do I train Slippery Audio Clips?

I'm guessing this one has an easy answer. When I have the audio track open and I wish to lay down a piece of audio under video (I've already extracted the audio and it's a stand alone piece of audio), I place the playhead where I want the piece of audio to appear, but when I click "paste" the piece of audio always ends up a few inches (or a few shots) away from the playhead (so I have to "inch" it back to its proper place using the playhead). Why does this happen and how can I paste audio clips exactly where I want them?
Diana

Interestingly, today I needed to copy and paste an audio clip, and it pasted quite close to the original. Last night, all the pasted clips ended up near the end of the movie.
I find that the clips can be dragged fairly quickly if dragged to the edge of the iMovie window, but if you do that too quickly, your clip will suddenly end up far to the left of where you want it.
It took me several attempts to achieve better control when moving a clip, but it is not the ideal solution.

Audio clipping on captions

does anyone know how to stop the audio clipping when added to
a caption.
for example say the mp3 file is 5 seconds in length. When you
add it to the caption, Captivate starts to play it, but will only
play 4 seconds.
I have gotten around this by attaching audio files to the
slides themselves but not ideal if there are many interactions and
captions.
Has anyone had this problem?

Captivate plays the audio attached to captions to its full
length. When a audio is attached to a caption, it gives you an
option of increasing the time of captions if the audio time is
more.
thanks
