IMovie audio and video effects

Hey,
Sorry if this was previously posted, i went back four pages and gave up.
Im trying to figure out how to speed up/slow down video and mess with the audio (you know the chipmunk/ low voice junk). I'm new to a mac. So if you could give me some pointers on how to find my way around and post any other interesting effects you can do with imovie that would be great.

iMovie version 7 (iLife '08) doesn't have the feature but it is available in iMovie 8 (iLife '09).

Audio and Video not synching after export

I've uploaded DV from my camera into iMovie. In iMovie, audio and video are synching perfectly, but when I export to Quicktime they are off by about a second (or two). I've tried several different "expert settings," but still no dice. I've not had this problem occur before, so I'm confused. Anyone?

Make sure none of your clips are using custom slow motion percentages. Only use what the slow motion slider snaps to. I had the same problem and once I changed my percentages to what iMovie wanted everything exported correctly.

How do I synch the audio and video to play together in iMovie? And why is it not synched?

My iMovie the video is not synched to the audio. It could be about two seconds off. And sometimes the sound just stops. I tested it on Quick Time Player and burnt it to a dvd and it does the same thing. The sound then stops halfway through besides my ilife sound effects. How do I synch the audio and video to play together in iMovie and dvd? I taped the movie from my digital camera and it hasn't done this on imovie before. Any Help?

Is it permissible to upload a video on youtube with music, sounds effects, and video effects from imovie?

Lately, I've been editing and making videos for a local church in Mexico. I am not selling any of the videos. The are free to watch. However, is it permissible to upload a video with music, sound effects, and video effects from imovie? I using imovie version 10.0.2

This question comes up from time to time.
There are a number of con-men who think that they can earn a quick buck from claiming that they own the copyright to Apple’s royalty-free jingles and sound effects included with the iLife applications. These are all free to use, as clearly stated in section 2.C of the iLife Software License Agreement:
“You may use the Apple and third party audio content (“Audio Content”) contained in or otherwise included with the Apple software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio content may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound files, sound effects or music beds.”

Does iMovie have Sound and Video Effects?

Before i begin filming my college film i wanted to ask and see if imovie has sound and video effects. what i mean is like, say in the film a gun is shot, well does imovie have a shot going off sound? are there sound effects? or am i asking in the wrong place and see if garageband has these?
also, video effects? i know imovie has like sepia and black and white tones among others but can i add other types of effects? if so, what kinds?
thanks!

you're looking for specific effects for your specific needs.. why not launching iM on your MacBook.. and look for your own..???
BEFORE doing a "serious" project, I would allway do some test/dummy projects, just to get comfortable with some software ...
plus:
the two additional audio tracks allow easiely to place small audio snippets, downloaded from anywhere in the web to your movie.. if you need explosions, gunshots, lightsabres, whatever, the iNet is full of sources...
plus:
you can teach iM lots of new tricks by installing/purchasing 3rd party plug-ins, if you need very special effects , iM does not support out-of-the-box.

I am new to iMovies. When I make a video using the mic and camera in my Macbook Pro, the audio and video are not in synch. Very annoying. How can I fix this?

DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

Audio and Video out of sync in shared iMovie file

Hey Guys -
Quick question, I've created a new trailer in iMovie, all works fine but the audio and video is out of sync in the shared file. How to fix it?
Thank you
MondCharlie

For what it's worth, I'm having what looks to be the same problem. Driving me insane. Here's what's going on-
Editing in FCP 6.0.2
QT was just updated to 7.3.1 the other day (hmm)
On an MacBookPro machine, OS 10.5.1
Software updater says everything's up to date of course.
DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal (footage was shot at 24PA on a DVX100b)
In Quicktime, the file previews fine, everything's in sync, everyone's happy. In FCP, the video and audio are wildly out of sync. I did a test inside of quicktime and sliced out a small portion of the media clip and did a "save as" and this small slice played in sync in FCP. However, this did not work for the entire clip. Clip is weighing in at 5.58GB for a 32 minute run.
I'm trying to multicam 2 tapes together and manually syncing these up is proving to be difficult at best. When anyone gets any ideas/leads/patches, let us know.
Grr,

IMovie will not import or play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up.

i have a samsung hd camcorder. it records at 40 fps, but iMovie will not play the clips at the proper speed and the audio and video do not match up. I have tried to record at standard quality to no avail. Help. thanks in advance.

samsung sc-hmx10c ntsc
im guessing that is the speed it records at due to the fact imovie puts a blue 40 at the top left corner of every clip i import.

Recording separate audio and video to iMovie?

I have been experimenting with recording video directly to iMovie with my DV camera instead of using a tape (saves time, as I'd have to import it anyway). I was wondering if there is any way I could record audio from a different source (I have a digidesign MBox) at the same time. This way, I'd have better audio quality and not have to worry about syncing it later. If this isn't possible in iMovie, is there a program that it is possible in (preferably not an expensive program)? Maybe Quicktime Pro can do this?
Thanks.

I like Bengt's suggestions. You could try experimenting by opening a second program and record the audio using both iMovie and the microphone input. Since you can mute the camcorder audio in iMovie after syncing, the last challenge is the sync. Seems like a clapboard would work.
Otherwise, look into a video converter box or something where you can mix the audio and video externally, and have it come into iMovie over Firewire at the same time.
Or, check over in the Final Cut forum to see about those capabilities.
Portable hard disk recorders for pros could have separate video/audio inputs.
Bengt's plugin mic is sounding pretty good about now.

I'm trying to record audio and video simultaneously using iMovie and an external mic and the computer is picking up the audio but when I replay the video there is no sound. Any ideas?

Can't get iMovie to record audio and video at the same time using the built in cam and an external mic.

iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

After Effects CS6 renders audio and video separately. Please help!

Trying to render a finished video so that I can upload it to Youtube, but having extreme rendering difficulties. The only way my audio and video are combined in one file is when I export the project as a lossless AVI. Best quality for sure, but the size is MUCH too massive. Any other format I try always separates the audio and video. I have no idea why. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sure thing, here you go. If there is anything anyone else needs to see please let me know.

Audio and video not synched up....

Hello everyone. I am having a problem with my i-movie and was wondering if anyone here might know what I need to do to solve it.
The problem is that the audio and video are not synchronized when I capture a movie.
Any suggestions?

Hello and thanks for your help. May I pursue this with you further? I think I figured out how to separate the audio and video, by using the imovie help. What i have now is a green bar that appears all along the bottom of the video frames.
I'm having one problem. When i move the audio, and then play back the track, both the new audio position and the old one play, so I get this echo effect. Do you know how I save it without the old position?
Also one other problem I'm having is that when I record video, for some reason whole chunks of the recording are missing. I don't know what is causing this....

How to get audio and video in one file

hi...I am "premiere beginner user" and I have a simple question , I think..:)...Every time when I am trying to export media out from my premiere (using media encoder) I get video file and some audio files, but what I need is only ONE file, that contains both (audio and video)..for example , I have edited film in hd quality and I want it to export, I choose h.264 format(make some settings,pal,audio quality...) and when it´s "all done", only "result" I get is one video file and two audio files and they are not together :).....so please help mme anyone..ok and as you can see I am not from english speaking country, so sorry for my english...thanks for help....

There is no indication that something is out-of-sync or the ability to move/slip into sync like in FCE/FCP.
To the best of my knowledge, using match frame and overwriting the video with video+audio (or attaching it as a connected clip if you don't want to overwrite the video, which might have effects applied) is the best way to do this.
You can use the blade tool first in the timeline to get just the section you want to get back into sync. Make cuts so that you have a single clip that needs the audio resynced, select it, and use shift-F to select the original synced clip in the Event Browser. Make sure your play head is at the beginning of this video clip in the timeline. Press option-2, then 'q', and now you have the audio back in your timeline, synced with the video. Delete the old, no-longer-synced audio and you should be set.

Photo Booth Audio and Video not in sync!

I am a YouTube musician. When I go to record I find it easiest to use the video feature in Photo Booth. However, ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my audio and video in my videos has been off of one another. They start off together but by the end of the video the audio is ahead of the video. When I went to try and see where it messes up I found that the video jumps frames creating almost a transition effect. I don't know how to fix this and would really like your help!

Why can't Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 Time remap Audio and Video together?

In case you didn't notice, my question is WHY. I don't know why Premiere Pro can't do this. From what I understand at the moment, the only way to time-remap audio in any way shape or form using Adobe software is through Adobe After Effects, which my computer has absolutely no chance of running ever. I know how to do regular stretching of audio in both Audition and Premiere Pro, but apparently I can't time-remap audio using either of these programs.
So why can't Adobe Premiere Pro time remap audio along with the video? What's the reason that it can't? It's a massive disappointment and would be very impressive to see accomplished in the future. If it's possible to time remap audio and video together in After Effects, that's great and all, except for the fact that I can't use that program. Why can't it be done in Premiere Pro and will it ever be possible in Premiere Pro?
Also, will time remapping audio become possible in Audition someday?

That sounds like a great idea. File a Feature Request:
