IDVD: weird audio after fade out..?!!

Hi, i dont know if anyone else is having this problem or whether im doing something wrong. When i fade out the audio (iTunes song) it suddenly gets louder again b4 it stops. Ive checked all the audio volumes (zoomed in aswell) all fine, and i split the unwanted portion straight after the fade out. It plays fine in iMovie but not in iDVD or on a burned DVD. What am i/or the software doing wrong..!!!
p.s. im quite new to macs so am not a wiz and the movie is quite heavily edited, transitions loads of clips ranging from 2 to 10 second - 25 min long.

Yes, indeed, Warner,
An ongoing frustration for me as well. I have made dozens and dozens of DVDs with iLife 06, but this audio problem started without any warning.
For a one-minute "loop" I will export a short video clip, I will un-check the box on the right of the top line to silence the sound track. For good measure, I also adjust the volume of the track all the way down to zero. Fine! Then I paste different music on an audio track below, with fade in and fade out. It plays fine in iMovie, and Quicktime. BUT when I share it in iDVD, every single audio track (including the original, which is switched "off") is heard at the same level, which can be very noisy and very frustrating. None of my fades (in and out) work at all. I even tried importing it from the "media" window, and it did the same stupid thing. I ALSO tried extracting the audio from the original clip so I could delete it on a timeline below. Ha!
Who is trying to torture us? I wanted to stay with iMovie and iDVD as long as I could before spending the money on Final Cut Pro. But the quirks and inconsistencies in the iLife are driving me nertz.

Resuming audio after linking out to a URL

I am able to link out to a URL and I have chosen "Stop audio when clicked" on the button properties. My problem is that I cannot get the audio to resume when I return to Captivate except by pressing the play/pause button a couple of time. By this time the text on the screen is no longer in sync with the audio.
Any advice most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi MMDeaton
Are you using Captivate 2?
I don't believe you will be able to do this if the YouTube
video isn't in .FLV format. The only video format that I've seen
"embedded" inside Captivate in the manner you are describing is the
.FLV format. So I suppose you would first need to convert the
YouTube video to .FLV.
Assuming it already exists on YouTube in .FLV format and you
are using Captivate 2, the process should be pretty
straightforward. You click Insert > Flash Video... and point at
the URL for the video.
You link to Web Sites and URLs using either Button or Click
Box objects. I'm not sure what you meant to imply with your
statement, as normally you would either position the invisible
Click Box object over a logical area to be clicked or the Button
does indeed look like a button they click. Your statement sounds as
if users are fumbling around without the faintest clue as to what
to click. If that's the case, they need more visual cues.
Sincerely... Rick

Rolling images after fade out

Hey guys,
Im back. I finished the previous project which the clients liked very much now i need to do another one, exactly the same, but it will have a rolling picture (4) when 1 button is rolled over.
I can set it up to fade in when the mouse rolls over, but i am just wandering how to set it that i can make 4 images fade in after eachother after a space of about 3 seconds. If you need code i am more then happy to give what i have at the moment. I am just wandering if someone could point me in the right direction, i am assuming i will need a timer in there but i am not very good at AS3.0 so i do not know how to write it
Thanks in advance,
Declan

Hmm thanks for the reply but i really want to do this in solid code,
I just need a timer that will start after the first image is loaded up after a button is rolled over.
E.g
When my button is rolled over an image fades in, then i need a timer to start and when the timer hits 3 seconds a new image fades over the top of it. Then i need this to repeat until the mouse is moved off of the button.
I know it cant be that hard and i have tried to do it myself but i cant seem to get it to work and i really need to get this done ASAP.
Any help or pointers would be great,
I can post my code if you want?
Thanks,
Declan

How do you allow an audio clip to keep playing after a video clip fades out at the end of an iMovie? I want the audio clip to fade out later... this used to be easy in an older version of iMovie.

I just updated to iMovie 11. I want the final music to play beyond the last video clip and fade out. How do I do this? Do I need to import a black screen?

Yes, I've done this, but I can't figure out how to get the audio to fade. I think I need to explain further. This is really a simple movie made from multiple photo stills from my son's school. There are cross fade transition betwee the stills, and some titiles that cross fade too. So there is not actual video. Thus everything shows only in the project library, where I dragged in the photo stills to import them. There is nothing in the event (or is in the clip) window in the bottom. I can't figure out how to get the volume lines to show for the audio clip in the project library as they did in the old version of iMovie so I could drag them up or down.

Audio fades out automatically after 15 minutes although not muted

Hi
While listening to iTunes, the music fades out automatically after 12-15 minutes, also system sounds won't play anymore. All settings are set correctly (internal speakers, volume), the iMac is not muted.
After some time switch off or in sleep mode, it plays the sounds again, but after 12-15min, it's quiet again.
Any idea ?
Thanks
Eric

It was bought online through a third party retailer, so its not exactly as convenient as driving to the store. I'd rather exhaust my options before having to send it back.

How do I fade out audio in Premiere Elements 13?

HOW DO I FADE OUT AUDIO IN PREMIERE ELEMENTS 13?

ATR
Thanks for answering,
im moving slowely forward in speeding up making presentations by using the new discovered smart tricks or functions.
So you understand my level of expertise:
This step by step production methode im using now give's me controle without the (full) knowledge of all the (smart)functions in this program.and slowely learning the way arround.
starting a project: a mix of photo's and avi's, starting with manual time line filling with the selected files then the timesaving "Standard crosover on all selected".
second: placing a header with the titel at the front and a ending a the end. (cut al the wrong or bad pieces and extend some photo viewingtime if needed.)
And then adding subtitels/tekst and use some other crosovers to highlight the change of subject or stills to movie.
And at last: placing the background music on "soundtrack": after some fiddeling around ive choose to cut the musictrack between the avi's instead of let the music play all the time and adjust the volume down to zero when a avi is playing.
this have two advantages:
1) the songs can be streched by by cut and jumping to the end of the avi soundtrack. (no loss of music through fading out and still let it play so need less musicsongs.)
2) And the rightclick fade function with the standaard fadingtime => "fade out" and "fade in" is easly to use because of the end track avi and begin track music timeline. (And if needed lowering the fading slope/ extend the fading time by moving the "points" on the audio line)
But; its a lot of work and after the first run through the presentation(or watching on TV) and there is a adjustment needed (fadingtime, volume-changes) you have to adjust every bit of the soundtrack. (keeping the volume "feeling" the same is the difficult part.)
I will read about the Smart Mix function and test it on a other project. see of its fits my kind of using and expertise. (every automatic (smart) function needs understanding of its purpes and limitations and there are a lot of them in premiere
What is in your opinion the most effective way of adjusting volume of audio parts across the hole project so its merged in to one audio/soundlevel?
(and offcourse in the hole way of building the presentation.)

Audio Fade In Fade Out -1 Sec?

Captivate v5.5
I have created a v5.5 Captivate project, imported the audio to each slide after creating the audio with Audacity and am now starting to sync the audio with the animations.
I have just noticed that every slide in my project has the following audio setting;
I dont recall making this audio setting.
1. Where is the Fade In Fade Out option setting to ensure this does not get applied again to future projects?
2. I cannt see how to remove the 1 second Fade In / Fade Out for the whole project.
Do I have to edit this slide by slide?
Thanks,
Noel

Thank you Lilybiri for taking the time to open your "old" v5.5 - I really appreciate it.
If I had not taken that screenshot I might have started to doubt myself.
On receipt of your reply I went back to the project with the issue, and would you believe it, all the slides have reverted back to 0sec Fade In and 0sec Fade Out!
I have not made any changes and now have no idea why this happened in first place or what happened to make them revert to correct 0sec settings - but will keep an eye on it and hope that it was a one off Monday morning "glitch".

Audio fade out not working

I've imported clips from my camera to iMovie HD 6 and created a 2 minute "movie." I imported a song from iTunes but want it to fade out before the movie ends. I've followed the instructions and dragged the volume bar down where I'd like the fade out to happen but nothing changes. I've also extracted audio from the clips I'd like to play without music but nothing changes. The audio also plays past the end of the last clip. I also followed the instructions to delete the audio from selected clips by placing the cursor in the audio bar and waiting for it cursor to change form into that t-bar shape but it doesn't happen. I've closed out and re-opened the project more than once. Following the instructions was easy but there are simply no results. What am I missing? Thanks!

Hey, catspaw!
You remembered! My family history project now is complete from 1979-2008, with 2009 being compiled on an ongoing basis as I get the photos and videos.
I have nearly all the old photos scanned into iPhoto for both my husband's and my side of our family. There are only a couple of videos of our parents talking about their childhoods or some specific childhood memories, and one of my father-in-law telling of his days in the Navy in WW II, when he was one of the first Americans to go into Nagasaki.
I had all the photos scanned in already, but when the drive failed several months ago, I apparently lost a few of the photos. So my fil will need to lend his to me again. I also have some baby photos that my parents insisted they did not have, but they did, so I will be getting them next week.
Then, I have about 2000 slides that I'd like to put into this collection. It is easy to scan them, and I have already done about 400, but the ones from a couple of trips are just going to take too much time, so I found a local photo place that will scan them for me and put them onto a CD.....and they charge less than anyone else I have found. The draw for me is that they do it locally so I do not have to worry about the original slides getting lost. I am planning to take the slides in tomorrow or Monday. I think it will take them about a week or so.
I have 4 iMovies in progress for the 'old' photos. After I get all of them finished, I think I will upgrade to Leopard and install iLife 09 and begin to play around with iMovie 9. The big concern for me is that it does not allow exporting back to camcorder. I really like to do that with my edited movies so that I have a nice digital tape of the finished movie. Since I now will have to do only one family movie/photo project per year, I will have time to make little creative movies for the grandkids. I may even take some classes.
I have also thought about using Final Cut. I have FCE, not Pro, probably enough for my purposes. Ihave used it a couple of times for short movies. It has quite a learning curve, and it is not so helpful as iMovie since nothing is preset. Of course, it gives one great flexibility. I think that doing a few movies will give me experience enough to consider making the switch for the family movies, and maybe using iM9 for the short ones.
I have been following with interest the posts regarding getting the best quality from iM9 when putting it into DVD, and I have been learning a lot. Very thankful for these discussions.
Also, my camcorder is getting older and I am considering getting an HD camcorder; still have to think about whether I want to continue with tapes or not.....
I know that FCE and FCP take footage in DV format, so the DV tapes would be easy.
What do you think?
Return greetings from here....we are going to see some friends next weekend who have lived in the US for many years, but are from Adelaide!

Continue Playing Track Audio, or have it fade out

I am putting together a demo DVD for my client, and after viewing it his complaint was that when he goes back to the menu while in the middle of a track the audio abruptly stops. Is there a way to either have the audio fade out before the dvd goes back to the menu, or better yet have that track audio continue playing until the viewer makes another selection? Thanks for the help.
Mitch

Clients can be so silly can't they? No...since DVD is a linear technology, the laser must stop then refocus to the menu. During this time you will have an abrupt audio pause. Ever disc ever made is like this.

Transition fade outs are picking up audio

Whenever I want to add a fade out to a movie clip, rather than the audio fading out with the picture, the audio for the duration of the transition is often a clip of the audio from that particular movie clip. I have tried trashing the p-list, and I have also tried erasing some of the problem footage and re-capturing it, but to no avail. This happens to at least I'd say 75% of my movie clips, and I can't seem to solve it. Sometimes the audio in the transition is audio from the very end of the clip I am fading out of (i.e. it loops it), and sometimes it's just from a random point somewhere in that particular clip, but then on a couple of occasions, the fade out is actually audio from a totally different clip.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation....

Hi C
Just one thought: I do like this
• select clip or clips before applying a transition so that they are selected
• Up on Advance Menu - down to Extract audio
• Now apply the transition after or between the clips
• Now fix the audio by letting it fade out or as You like it

Todays update! After todays update I can no longer send Safari or Spotify to the task bar without it cutting out (dropping audio in and out). Streams normally if I keep the window open on my desktop. This needs to be fixed immediately.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

I am editing an idvd slideshow to have some of the music selections from itunes fade out at the end of each vacation segment using music reflecting the country visited. Is there a way to fast-forward the slideshow to observe the where the music ends.

I am editing an idvd slideshjow to have some of the music selections fade out at the end of each vacation segment. Is there a way I can fast-forward through the slideshow so I can see where the music is ending and adjust the time to end properly? (without repeatedly clicking the forward button on the e-remote)

Thanks very much, varjak paw. I checked half a dozen tracks on my iMac from different albums which did not copy over, plus several which did copy over. They all show the same location:
Users/Christina/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Brandenburg Concertos etc. (one example)
What does this mean relative to the music which didn't copy? Is there another step? or somewhere else I should look?
And wow, thanks for the info about not having legal right to keep the tracks from the CDs. I am embarrassed that I didn't know. I gave most of my CDs to my sister. Before I delete all this highly prized music (400-500 tracks) -- if I get the CDs back from her and keep them at my house, can I continue to keep those tracks on my iMac? (Sister does not have iTunes or even know what an mp3 is, so it's not like she has copied or imported the CDs -- I just didn't realize I needed to retain possession.)
Or do I still need to remove all that music from my library?
Thank you again for your help.

I have adobe Premiere Elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or have it fade in or out. I can move the yellow line all the way down till the volume reads -0.0, but the sound is still there on playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that graphs volume takes a sharp raise or dip at the beginning or end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What am I doing wrong?

rickeyt
Thanks for the reply. Great news about the volume adjusts.
Now about those fades for the volume. How are you doing that?
1. Right click the Timeline video audio and select Fade and then
see the Fade options (I had a video with audio file, so I saw the choices as shown in the screenshot)
2. You can also create two volume keyframes at each end of the Timeline audio clip rubberband (orange line that goes horizontally across the middle of the audio clip). At the position of the Timeline Indicator, click the Add/Remove Keyframe icon, and then with the mouse cursor position the white dots (volume keyframes) to achieve the Fade In and Fade Out audio. In the screenshot below I have moved the Timeline Indicator so that you could better see the white dots (volume keyframes).
Please let us know if any of the above works for you with regard to the audio fades.
Thank you.

Editing audio, Fade Out Problems!

Hi I've imported an mp3 into iMovie to run alongside a movie. How do I remove the fade out all together so that it runs the whole track? I don't want to fade the track out, have already gone into audio editing panel. Any ideas?

citybloc,
I have not done any audio editing in iMovie 08, only in iMovie HD. In the 08 application I made my audio edits in GarageBand. You have pretty good control of it there.

Foreign audio after burning in iDVD

I am running iMovie with Tiger on eMacs. I have 13 computers in a classroom. Sometimes when I burn in iDVD, the burn is successful, but there is only identical foreign audio over the whole disk. I have four uses set up on each eMac. the foreign audio if from totally different user than the one I am logged into. This plays on both the theme upon loading the disk, and on every movie. Movies play fine in iMovie and when testing in preview in iDVD. Usually I trash preferences and this clears it up. Now, two of my computers are not fixed with this method. I got one to work after trashing and repairing preferences, rebooting, then rebuilding the iDVD project with a totally new project. Any ideas?
Thanks

Sounds like this old gem...
