How to use MP3 file as a clip, not background music

I have a radio spot as an MP3 file, but when I drag it into the project it automatically thinks I want it as my background music. I actually want it as a clip to play after a commercial.  I have tried saving it out of QT as a movie file but it won't let me import that file in a regular import, it's grayed out. Any help would be appreciated!

You have to have video clip of some sort in the spot where you wan the sound clip to play. It cannot just be dropped on the timeline. So what you might have to do is put a title down with a black background, drop the MP3 right on top of that title clip  (dead center). Then it will attach as a repositionable sound clip.
You will also want to convert the MP3 to an AIFF in order to keep iMovie from working too hard to playback the song when you do the final export of your video project. This is a direct copy of the iTunes Help page for AIFF conversions:
Save a copy of a song in a new file format
You can convert a song to a different file format (and keep a copy of the original). For example, you can save a copy of a compressed song file such as MP3 or AAC in an uncompressed song format (AIFF or WAV).
When converting from a compressed to uncompressed file format (for example, from MP3 to AIFF), you shouldn’t notice any reduction in sound quality. However, when converting between compressed formats (for example, MP3 and AAC), you may notice a reduction in the sound quality. For the best results, if you want your music encoded in a different file format, import the music again from the original source using the newencoding format.
Important:  You can’t convert iTunes Store purchases unless they’re iTunes Plus songs.
Hide
To convert a song’s file format:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and click Import Settings.
In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, and click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library and choose Advanced > Create Format Version.
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.

  • How to use mp3 files on a form standard button, instead of wav-files. Need to save space.

    I would like to use mp3 files instead of Wav-files on the standard button, in the forms edit menu. I know it is possible in the interactive menu to add buttons with mp3 sound. But those buttons has not the same options and appearance as the forms buttons. We create learning books with lots of sound files in each PDF, so with wav-files the PDF gets quite heavy in Gb.

    Smokerz – Thanks for the feedback. I managed to get iTunes to find the movie files on my TC by simply dragging the icons of the files on the TC into the Movies folder in iTunes. This immediately made them available for streaming on my Apple TV. Also, I learned with great relief that, despite their large size, dragging icons of my movie files into iTunes did not copy them to the C: drive on my desktop computer. Thus, it looks as if the job is pretty much done. Thanks again for your advice.

    How to transfer mp3 files to 4s from a PC without itunes?

    No can do. Closest you can do is to use iCloud and iTunes Match. Otherwise, for mp3 files you will have to import them to iTunes on the computer and then sync them to the phone.

  • How to use XSJS file path in Controller.js file

    Hi Experts,
    Regarding How to use XSJS file path in Controller.js file.
    I have gone through the SAP HANA Extended Application Services (Thomas Jung http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/hana/blog/2012/11/29/sap-hana-extended-application-services article.)
    Seems to be there is no information about the same. May be the article is targetted for Beginners and above. As I am a learner I am not able to do the same.
    var aUrl = '../../logic/demo_main.xsjs? (highlighted)
    Suppose my XSJS file is at http://ipaddress:8000/newtest/Func.XSJS.
    Can I use like below
    var aUrl = 'http://ipaddress:8000/newtest/Func.xsjs?
    or
    var aUrl = '../../newtest/Func.xsjs?
    I tried with multiple options but not able to get the expected output.

    Dear Thomas,
    I am a abap developer , recently we meet a problem on our webdynpro report performnace issue. As in the development, we use SALV_WD_TABLE to design a ALV. and verything work correctly in our DEV system.
    But after when our QAS system, there are more records for the ALV, one of them has 21000 records. And in the layout, we have a column as checkbox.
    If we click any one checkbox, then the layout will respond almost 1~2 minutes. With debug I found the most time cost in the standard program.
    And with search I found that you have solution to solve it as 1,000,000 rows.
    So is it possible to provide some idea or solution to us?
    Many thanks for your help!

  • How to use properties file

    Hi,
    I want to use properties file in my application. I have kept properties file inside a directory called properties which is inside myProject(which is the parent directory of my project) i.e "myProject/properties".
    My java file where i want to call this properties file is inside the myProject/WEB-INF/src/java.
    How can i call the properties file from myProject/WEB-INF/src/java/PropertyReader.java
    I wrote java program in myProject/WEB-INF/src/java/PropertyReader.java like:::::
    ResourceBundle resBun = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Test", Locale.getDefault()); // Test.properties is inside myProject/properties
    resBun..getString("name");
    After running the program i am getting the following errors:::::
    Exception in thread "main" java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name Test, locale en_US
    at java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(ResourceBundle.java:836)
    at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(ResourceBundle.java:805)
    at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(ResourceBundle.java:576)
    at PropertiesReader.main(PropertiesReader.java:4)
    What is the issue? How to use properties file?
    Waiting for reply.
    Thanks

    Still getting same exception. As you explained i tried like the below:::
    1. I am using ant as build tool.
    2. My properties file is for database configuration
    My properties file is::
    database.properties (inside myProject/properties)
    JDBCDriver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
    JDBCConnectionURL=jdbc:mysql://pmdbmysql:3306/bandwidthshaper?user=admin&password=admin
    My java package structure is
    WEB-INF/src/java
    WEB-INF/src/classes
    For build WEB-INF is the base directory and build.xml is inside the src directory
    In my build.xml i wrote the following lines for compilation::
              <target name="compile" >
                   <javac srcdir="src" destdir="src/classes" debug="true" debuglevel="lines,vars,source">
                        <classpath refid="class.path"/>
                   </javac>
    <copy todir = "src/classes" >
    <fileset dir = "../properties" />
    </copy>
                   <jar jarfile="lib/${project.jar.file}" basedir="src/classes"/>
              </target>
    I am copying properties file to the classes directory.
    Now in java file which is inside /WEB-INF/src/java, I wrote::
    try {
    Properties programProps = new Properties();
    InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/database.properties");
    if(is == null)
    throw new IllegalStateException("Properties file missing ");
    programProps.load(is);
    System.out.println("driver name::::::: "+programProps.getProperty("JDBCDriver"));
    is.close();
    } catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    After compilation in my classes directory i am getting database.properties file and my java file with package.
    At the time of running i am getting "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Properties file missing"
    Now tell me where is the fault. Why again i am getting exception.
    Thanks

  • How to use batch files to send the load from ODC to UCM?

    Hello all.
    We're trying to do this along this week and, until now, we couldn't figure out how to use batch files containing metada on ODC and commit the output files to UCM.
    So these are our specs:
    VM 1
    ODC - 10gR3
    OS - Windows XP 32 bits SP3
    DB - Oracle DB 11.2
    VM 2
    No ODC
    UCM 11.1.1.6
    OS - Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
    We've opened a ticket with Oracle Support to know how we should do this. The number is SR 3-6108348211.
    Let me try to explain what we want to do:
    1 - we have a batch file with all metadata of many files from UCM
    2 - we want to use this file in ODC, so the application will convert the images and commit them to UCM
    3 - we should see all these files, their metadata, thumbnails and related content in UCM
    4 - this is a batch file example we want to send to ODC:
    @Properties LocalData
    IdcService=CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL
    dRevLabel = 1
    primaryFile=/tra/Relatorio_UHPF-03-04-2008-M-RL-EA.pdf
    dDocName=TRA_33

    @end
    <<EOD>>
    5 - So, when we use this batch file on ODC, the file (or image) will be converted, all metadata attached and then sent to UCM.
    But we don't know how to do the link between ODC and UCM. The Oracle Support says it is necessary to do some customization. In the books I could not find any info about how to do, just generic information or how to use ODC.
    Is there a way (without customization) to do that? Can anyone give us a step-by-step guide?
    Thanks for all help and guidance.
    Fernando

    What is the one-sentence requirement or issue you're trying to solve?
    If you only want content to be converted to pdf, then you should already have that with your items checked into UCM (if you have IBR enabled).
    if you really want to feed content into ODC using a batchfile, my first thought would be to create a transformation utility/app that will convert your batchfiles to the expected ODC import server folder job format. then you'll have to move or map the content to match.
    Again, without knowing the exact issue/business requirement you're trying to work through, I'd say a redesign of your ingestion process may be in order.
    If you feed content directly into ODC through any supported ODC method (watch folder, email, scanner, fax, etc), then you'll be able to use everything ootb as you'll be able to auto-commit directly into UCM or add an indexing step and manual commit to UCM.
    ODC is basically a front end for indexing and extra ingestion options to your content repo.
    IPM is basically the same, but it includes some extra process-related details (process metadata, process integrations/bpel/bpm, other system integrations/ebs/crm, etc). I don't feel that IPM would help with the transformation-specific question you've put out there.

    ORA-06401, 00000, "NETCMN: invalid driver designator"
    Cause: The login (connect) string contains an invalid driver designator.
    Action: Correct the string and re-submit.
    The //ip:port/sid connect string will only work with 10g clients.
    Check your tnsnames.ora file. Does the file have control characters or missing carriage-return characters ? (Maybe you ftp'd the file from a unix box ?)
    I would suggest that you create a new tnsnames.ora - hand edit it (don't copy the old one). If you have sqlplus client - try using it to connect to the remote DB first.
    The instructions for connection to a local or remote DB are all the same (when using plain OCILogon) because the connection is made over TCP.

    No. The idea of iTunes Match is that everything in your library is available to sync.
    If it does match, the song in iTunes store is used.
    If it does not match, the song on your computer is used and that is uploaded to the cloud to sync to yoru devices.
