IMovie- Audio Editing Problems

Basically here is the situation. When i click on a video in my project and then click adjust audio. I do not get the adjust audio pop-up but just the skimming line over my video with a red dot in the center of the skimming line. I have tried restarting iMovie and removing the video and then inserting it again. However time an time again iMovie will not let me adjust the audio on my video. I have got to the point of pulling my hair out over this issue. *PLEASE HELP!!*

The next thing I'd try is quitting iMovie.
Then move this file to your desktop
User>Library>Preferences>com.apple.imovie7.plist
Now restart iMovie and see if you can get the Audio and Video adjustment windows to show.

IMovie Audio Editing help?!!!!?

hi,
im trying to edit in iMove, but whenever i add music in the timeline (theres is no video yet) it appears as a little square, that expands as i add video to show waveforms, i want it, when i drop it in, to be a long bar with the waveforms so i can manipulate- just like it appears in final cut pro (i would use FCP but i am very bad with the audio editing in that and i enjoy iMovies simplicity) !! help please on how to do this!!!!

Add the audio clip AFTER video clip is in Timeline. I don't believe you can add an audio clip in an empty Timeline. I could be wrong, I've never tried it.

Audio Editing Problem- Help!

I've been having problems with audio editing in iBooks Author.
I edit a track I'm using across a text, editing just the portion I want played, and it all works fine in the program, when I move it over to iPad for testing, it won't play the right part I've confirmed is working fine in the program itself, instead it seems to revert in every audio link to the last portion I put into a link.
Hope this makese sense.

I'm not sure your problem is exactly like mine, but it pertains to placing the audio in a widget in ITA (itunes author).
The issue to look out for is we took our video and audio clips into our layouts to publish and apple validator rejects the audio clip saying the "audio is outside of the widget." and creates an error code. It seems to accept the video fine, but the AAC clip has been run through QT, or iTunes or Compressor and we still get the same error code. I' thinking there's a bug. So ours runs fine on the ipad, but won't validate. Like I said, maybe not your same issue, but the audio in a widget is a little buggy unless I'm overlooking something. Let us know how you work your problem out.

IMovie 09 editing problems found/questions

Hello,
I'm a new user of imovie 9 and I'm experiencing several problems when compiling and editing my first video. Is anyone else experiencing this? My project is currently about an hour in length, compiled from about 14 hours of raw footage. The goal is to edit it down to 15-20 mins, but the following experiences are really hindering this!
1. Sometimes dragging clips from the event library to the project inserts two copies of the same clip in the project.
2. Sometimes when dragging a clip from the event library to the project, the clip is inserted, but not where the insertion point it - often it is several clips away.
3. Sometimes when dragging the clip within a project to a new location (ie to attempt to fix point 2) the wrong clip is moved, or it is moved, then a second later moves back!
4. When inserting text, sometimes the text is inserted outside the bounding box - this is often triggered when changing font sizes. Workaround is to delete the text object and reinsert a new one and try again.
5. (not sure if this is a bug or a misunderstanding of imovie details) When editing transitions (is cross fade) times, often another time is used - example I set 2:30 cross-fade and it uses something longer than this.
6. When selecting the clip trimmer for a project clip, the relevant clip is highlighted in the event panel, but the highlighted clip is not automatically scrolled to on the event panel. So I have to hunt through the event to find the relevant clip. Expectation is that it would scroll to the clip point automatically.
Anyone ideas to resolve these (besides wait for updates)?

I'm having the same problems with your #6. When I add an audio clip, I get the option to choose clip trimmer. But when I select it, I either don't get the clip trimmer window or I get it with a blank space. It doesn't give me the audio to trim.

M2ts File Audio Editing Problems (CS5.5)

I am relatively new to CS5.5 and more than bit puzzled at not being able to highlight the 5.1 audio track of m2ts files in order to carry out any audio correction (such as Parametric EQ). It is also not possible to cary out J & L cuts either, for the same reason.
I have had no problems doing this with AVI files, but have noted a post dated 2009 (which I assume applied to CS4), where no editing could be performed on m2ts files, unless they were demuxed first, as only the AC3 sream couild be edited.
Can anyone suggest what I am overlooking? Even the basic Pinnacle Studio 15 can edit m2ts audio and I find it hard to believe that it is still neccessary to demux these files for CS5.5..

That worked perfectly OK, as long as I dropped the audio into an unused 5.1 track. If I dropped it into Track 1, where everthing els is, it locked up as before.
However, this lead me to the solution: It appears that some sort of bug occured when I used 'Automate to Sequence' to populate the timeline, as the entire 5.1 audio Track 1 in the project is corrupted.
Restarting afresh with a new project cleared the problem.
I suppose it is 'Sods Law' that this had to happen the very first time I have tried editing m2ts media!!
That you for your interest and replies

Imovie audio editing

Is it possible to cut or delete the audio from a single clip, the audio on the footage imported from the video camera ex. wind, background noise, and or people talking?

Sound Soap ..Whoops! No, sorry: SoundSoap..!
HOWEVER: (..and take this from a purchaser and user, that's me..) It will quieten down constant unwanted noise, such as a hum, buzz, rumble, hiss, sizzle, fizz, grind, etc, but it can't necessarily identify changing or variable noises, such as laughter, occasional voices, general chatter or other talking.
Only things which have a specific frequency - such as a 50Hz or 60Hz mains hum, or an air-conditioning unit - can be easily isolated and removed. And the removal will also cut down the sound of anything else which includes that - or those - frequency/ies.
So you can't use it to cut out background chatter in a bar while someone else is speaking, or remove a background TV show from a recording, or remove the sound of traffic from a poor voice recording.
The result usually sounds - unless it's a single-frequency hum or hiss that's being removed - like the altered audio is coming down a drainpipe ..so it's an emergency rescue package which can work with a fixed-frequency unwanted noise, but can't delete unwanted background chatter, and although it can help a little with wind, probably something like Alka Seltzer works best of all..
Oh, and, er, 'Motion' is for motion, not sound, and Final Cut probably can't help any better, either, as the audio filters would need to be manually tweaked ..which you can do as an option in SoundSoap.
As mentioned before, trying to remove unwanted sound from within a recorded audio clip is like trying to unbake a cake ..you can pull out the raisins, but you can't remove the egg or flour..

Major "BUG" in Imovie 9 - Audio Sync Problem on Export !

Well I'm a hard-core Apple user from day one, but unfortunately today I'm not to proud about the latest version of Imovie 9.
It seems there has been a "MAJOR audio sync problem on export" in Imovie 9, since July 2009. Apple knows about this bug for a long time now, but didn't release any bugfix yet!
Here's what it's all about:
It seems if you use the (custom /manual) speed-adjustments and not the preset slider speeds, you will experience (after exporting your movie) annoying bursts of audio from clips that had been set to mude. The strange thing is that you will only experience this audio-bug after exporting, you will NOT experience it in the project playback mode!
Here's what you can do:
Find ALL the clips in your Project that are Speed Adjusted.
Instead of using a "Custom Speed" percentage, use any of the "Preset Speeds"
Preset Speeds on the Slider = 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%
Then, export your project as usual.
No more sync issues.
Really hope That Apple will come up with a real BUGFIX soon.
It's a shame that a major bug in a otherwise GREAT PRODUCT, hasen't been fixed yet!
What's wrong with Apple?...this is not one of their finest hours.
Still A BIG fan from Imovie HD,...I'll chance to Imovie 9 when the bugs are finaly fixed!

This is TERRIBLE! I have spent so much time working on this project, and I really don't want to adjust the speed settings to the preset levels, BECAUSE I need to motion of the video to match certain musical points. I can't re-film my video, and I needed this project done TODAY. I made a music video with some kids at summer camp, and today is the last day- the day we were supposed to all watch it together, and now, I've got NOTHING!!!! (Because I can't export it without all those glitches!)
I am MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED on this one. I've made movies in windows movie maker before, and purposely used imovie, because you know, everything on macs is supposed to be better. Well, I guess I was wrong.

Audio Synch Problem Exporting From imovie 6

I have a created a large imovie project in imovie 6 using pictures and imported video. The project uses a lot of extracted audio voice overs on top of the photos.
While trying to export the video to quicktime or idvd, the audio gets out of synch at various points. I have tried exporting it many times using a variety of different options, and the audio remains out of synch, sometimes in different places with each export. Lastly, I have extracted the audio from the video clips for some of the more problematic portions of the project, but that has not proven successful.
The odd thing is that the movie plays perfectly while in imovie.
Any suggestions as to how to correct this issue?

Hi
Tedious situation.
To avoid this I'm kind of strict in Audio in two ways
A
• Material used if video is in same frame per minute - else I use JES_Deinterlacer to convert all to one standard. I use PAL = 25fps - one of my Cameras records ONLY in 30fps - (some people records in 24fps - to get a movie feel - I never)
So keeping the fps from Camera to (in my cases) DVD - gives a supperior result
B
• I'm strict in the kind of Audio formats I use - ONLY .aiff (or from miniDV tape Cameras) AND THEN 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (still .aiff as on normal CDs) and here 44.1kHz
If Camera is set to record in LP-mode or 12-bit Audio - Then I use an external Audio Editor to get this right
If from iTunes - I never use this directly - BUT - collect needed audio into a New PlayList - BURN THIS as a Standard Audio-CD (NO .mp3 - but .aiff here too) and then use the files on this CD in my movie project's in iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any varsion (or if forced to - iMovie'11)
Else read this
Audio Sync problems
• 12.bit - should be 16.-bit (from miniDV tape - set Camera right)
Avoid recording in LP-mode on miniDV tape. This tape must be play-backed by same Camera. When Camera dies
so does the video material in worst case.
• .mp3, .avi etc strange file formats - should be converted to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit
• in iMovie (up to HD6) - do - Extract Audio - it most often helps
• from iTunes - collect into a PlayList then Export out as an Audio-CD (not .mp3) and use the files on this (.aiff 44.1kHz)
• There seems to be a problem with slow-down resp speed-up. Has to be in specific steps as 25% 50% 150% 200%
else problems will arise
• Audio problems when transitions is in use - especially iMovie HD/HD6
a. Select video clips
b. Extract Audio (Advance menu/Extract Audio)
c. Now apply transition
d. eventually fine-tune end and start of extracted audio clips

Audio editing across tracks after OMF/AAF import problems

Hi there,
I'm having difficulty getting my head around the way STP handles multiple-mono audio files.  I'm lucky enough in my job to have a choice of audio editing tools for what I'm working on.  For speech I use SADiE, for more complex projects involving automation I'll often use ProTools & for podcasting I find that STP is pretty good - especially for enhanced podcasts with pictures & web-links etc.
So now to my problem.  I've brought an OMF project, from ProTools, home to work on in STP. The import went smoothly, every thing in the right place & sounds ok.  However, all the stereo audio files are now split across 2 tracks; 1 track for the left leg another track for the right leg.   I can't now edit the stereo content in any easy form.  I've tried using the 'blade all' tool to cut across the 2 tracks, but I can't then delete & ripple the audio.  This leaves me with a gap that I have to manually close.  Needless to say, I'm finding this frustrating as it's making what should be a simple process un-neccessarily long-winded.
Both ProTools & SADiE allow me to group files like this so that they can be treated like a stereo file.  I've looked everywhere, but I can't see a function in STP that does the same.  Am I missing something obvious?  I can't be the only person who's had to deal with files like this can I?
The only workaround I've found is to use the export command to bounce the 2 tracks to a stereo file, however, this loses any existing edits so I can't unpick them if there are problems.
Any ideas anyone?  Can this be done or should I just stick to my other audio tools for this sort of thing?
Thanks

ProTools uses WAV, in fact it uses the Broadcast Wav standard. The problem is the way it handles files. It still splits stereo files into separate L & R files. It's just that it hides this from the user. When you drag a stereo file in from PT's region list (the equivalent of STP's bin) to the playlist, the two files appear as one as they should do. The downside is that OMF/AAF export still treats them as individual files.
My problem is that I was halfway through an edit when I tried to move it from one system to another. If the edit was complete & just needed mixing, then it would have been less of an issue.
But you're right, there's probably some tool on the net that will solve this issue
Cheers

IMovie audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !

iMovie 11 audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !
I have created a project where I have a montage of photos and video clips edited together with music under. Some audio portions of the video files are being muted in some areas and those portions are being heard in another part of the project. This is not for all video clips only certain ones.
The project plays fine in the timeline, but when I render the project thru iTunes or Media Browser, this is when the project goes corrupt.
I tried detaching the Audio from the video clips and this somewhat worked, but the original problem still exists with certain audio still being heard where it's not supposed to be.

I have a fix - or rather, a workaround.
WARNING: It is lengthy, but still far better than starting a new project from scratch.
I had this same issue and none of my transitions/clips were at custom speeds, nor did I have anything else weird going on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do within iMovie to fix this, at least there wasn't for me. iMovie is BY FAR the buggiest software I have ever used and if you haven't already spent hours slaving away on a project, you are so much better off using just about anything else to edit your video.
...But let's assume you have already spent many hours working on your project and you don't want to start all over. Well then, you have at least one option.
It's a pain in the neck, but it's infinitely better than restarting your project from scratch.
This will require:
A software called Soundflower (which is free) and some kind of audio editing software (I use Logic, but really any should work).
1.) You're going to need to export your video with the messed up audio. Typically if you're audio is messing up, you're video is at least usually working just fine (at least it always does for me).
2.) You're going to need to open that video in your audio software and import only the audio. If your software doesn't give you this option, then you're going to need to record the audio from your video using the audio software and Soundflower. You can find tutorials on how to do this, but it's honestly pretty straightforward once you start playing around with you Mac's audio I/O settings. Remember to have your computer's volume all the way up when doing this.
3.) Watch/listen to your video and make notes of where the audio errors occur. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND writing down times too, as they will be extremely helpful later.
4.) Now were going to rip some working audio from the iMovie project itself. Go back into your iMovie project and only play back audio while in the edit window for this step. Do NOT play your project back in full screen.
This part is key: if you try to play back your project from the beginning the audio will usually still mess up. So, what you're gonna have to do is go back on your edit window timeline right before these errors occur and play that specific clip back while recording this working audio with Soundflower and your audio software. Essentially we're only recording the parts of the audio where these errors occur, so try to do this in order if you can. Try to leave several seconds of audio in before the error - that way we can use it as reference when we construct our new audio track.
5.) Now in your audio software you should have your original error-filled audio track and the new clips that we just captured. This part can be painstaking if you're not familiar with audio editing softwares, but as you'll learn, it's really not that hard.
You're going to look at your original audio track and compare it to your new working audio clips. You should be able to notice where those new clips are supposed to go by looking at the identical (or close to identical) waveform shapes in your original audio track. The two should correspond with one another. If you don't understand what I mean right now, you will when you start playing around with the audio. This is why marking times is very important.
Take your new clips and split them up if you haven't already, that way you can drag them around and edit them separately from one another. Essentially your going to line these new clips up with original and then replace the original parts with new ones.
We need to get this as precise as possible, so start off by getting them as close as you can with your naked eye, and then use a zoom tool to zoom in as much as possible so that you can get them lined up PERFECTLY, or at least extremely close. In some softwares you can just drag these new clips on top of the old track, but most of the time you will need to actually cut out the old piece and replace it with the new one. In doing this, zoom in and make sure that you are NOT cutting out a bigger space than your new clip will fill - otherwise you will have small gaps in your audio.
VERY IMPORTANT: Also make sure that this new audio track starts at the EXACT SAME time as your original - otherwise your new audio will be out of sync.
I know this part can really suck if you're not used to audio editing, but at this point, there is little other choice.
6.) Once you are done with this, export your newly pieced together audio track.
7.) Now open iMovie and create a NEW project. Re-import the video that you exported earlier that has the messed up audio. This might take a while, so just be patient.
8.) Then right click the clip and select "Detach Audio". This will do just that - allowing you to edit the audio separately from the video. Now delete this audio.
9.) Now, import the new, perfect audio track that we just made and make sure that it starts at the start of the project. Make sure it's in sync and that everything works.
Now just export your new video with the working audio and you should be done. Since we have given iMovie the audio with no editing actually being done in iMovie, it does not have to generate its own audio now and you should have absolutely no errors now - unless there is some that you forgot to take out earlier.
YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!
I know this entire process *****, but if you're that far into your project, there is little else that you can do. Now you've learned your lesson:
DON'T USE IMOVIE EVER AGAIN.
I hope this helped!

Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing

Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing
YouTube always provides people with raw video materials on all sorts of things happened worldwide in real time. Video lovers are fond of downloading these files as private collection, even using video editors like iMovie to do further editing of their favorite ones, so as to import them to portable devices like iPod, iPhone, PSP, Blackberry, etc. for playback, or upload to their own websites to share with others, or do something else as they like.
However, not all the people have found a proper way to download YouTube videos, not to mention how to add these files to iMovie for editing. YouTube videos are in the format of FLV, which is not a workable format in iMovie, so if you want to import YouTube videos to it without trouble, you should convert FLV files to iMovie compatible formats such as MPEG-4 and MOV in advance. With the special intention of solving these two problems, this guide will show you how to download YouTube videos and import them to iMovie for editing step by step. If you are in need, just feel free to go along with it.
Step 1: Download, install and run Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac
This converter can process downloading and conversion simultaneously. Once you launch it, the interface below well pop up.
Step 2: Add URL, select output format and set save path
Press tag “Add URL” in the above interface, and then the following window will appear. Just copy and paste the URL of the YouTube video file which you want to download and convert to the text box after “URL”. Then select a supportable format for iMovie by clicking the drop-down list of “Convert To”. Here I choose MOV for example.
Afterwards, you can insert the storage file name in the text box of “Save As”, if not, the program will generate one automatically. Here I save my file as “mycollection”. Meanwhile, you are allowed to hit “Browse” in the opposite side of “Save To” to specify the destination folder. By the way, if you want to save the original FLV files, you are allowed to tick the checkbox “Save FLV File” to achieve this goal.
Step 3: Custom
This program enables you to adjust video and audio parameters like codec, bit rate, aspect ratio, frame rate, sample rate, and channels, so that you can change them randomly according to your own demands. Generally speaking, the options which refer to values are always in condition of the larger values, the larger file size, but better quality. Do remember click “OK” to save your custom settings.
Step 4: Download and convert
Once all the settings are done, you can click “OK” button to start. The following window will show you the progress of downloading and conversion.
Step 5: Import the output MOV files to iMovie
As soon as the YouTube video files have been downloaded and converted to MOV or other iMovie workable format, you can click “Open” at lower right corner of the above interface to find out the output files. Afterwards, launch iMovie, and click File > Import to add the output files to iMovie for editing.
Tips:
1. This program supports batch tasks so that you can download multiple YouTube video files in batches at a time.
2. Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac adopts multi-threading technology, which makes its download speed is faster than any other similar YouTube downloader.
3. Besides YouTube.com, it can also automatically detect and download online videos in the format of .flv, and f4v from many other video-sharing websites, like Yahoo Video, Myspace, Google Video, Fox and more.
4. It also provides users with conversion function, with which you can convert any YouTube FLV/F4V files to other formats like MP4, MKA, WAV, AC3, MKV, FLV, MP3, M4A, 3GP, AVI, MOV, MPG, etc. at will.
5. If you only use it as a YouTube downloader without format conversion, you can take it as a piece of freeware.
All right, this guide is ending up now; hope it will do you a favor while downloading video files from YouTube as well as importing them to iMovie for further editing.

It's a clip from CNN (with all credits etc. added). When one refers to it as a clip posted on "YouTube", then people understand the quality will be poor.
I've watched television go from everything shot on a tripod with clean, meticulous editing rules, to almost anything goes. It has to do with cultural reference.

Is this a cure for the "Infamous iMovie Audio Blast" glitch?

Hi. Long time lurker, first time poster.
Ever since leaving iMovie 2 I have encountered the dreaded "quick blast" of sound at the beginning of a transition. This frequently happens when transitioning from a still clip, or a second of black, to a video clip.
The workaround I discovered today is working very well. I've read every post I could find in this and other forums regarding the audio problems, but haven't seen this relatively easy solution before. If someone has previously posted this, my appologies.
The short answer is : turn the still frame into a video clip, then lower it's volume to 0%
If you check the volume level of a still frame, it will say 0%. I think this is not true. Even though there is no audio on a still frame, the volume level is really at 100%. Once you turn it into a video clip, and lower it to 0%, it will no longer cause the audio blast at the beginning of the next video clip or transition.
There are probably several ways to convert a still frame into a video clip. Applying an effect is what I did. I applied Virtix Zoom, at the minimum setting (no zoom). Other effects that involve movement or a gradual change, in their "neutral" setting, will probably work as well.
Before the effect is rendered, the following dialogue box pops up:
"This effect generates different results for each frame, which will not show up on Still Clips. Do you want to convert selected Still Clips to regular clips to apply this effect?"
Select "Convert". Once the effect has been applied, lower the volume to 0%, and add a transition between the now converted still clip and the regular video clip. The "Infamous iMovie Audio Blast" is now gone.
The other time I've had this problem is following a section of black. Instead of creating a black section by dragging clips apart in the timeline, place the head over the first frame of any existing "fade in" transition, go to your edit menu and "Create Still Frame". Then turn this still frame into a video clip using the method above.
Does this work for anyone else? It solved a major problem for me.
G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi bmitchell,
That's a great solution to the "old" audio glitch (which I've also experienced in the past). I think it has been fixed in later versions of iMovie/QuickTime, as I've not noticed it for a while. As you can see from my details, I'm using iMovie 6 (just updated to 6.0.2) and the latest QT 7.1 - what are you currently running? I notice that you've posted in the iMovie HD forum - are you still on version 5?
But back to your solution - well done! I don't recall ever seeing that solution posted previously - it would have been handy when I was having problems. I used to export the offending clips/transitions to QT then re-import to iMovie - but won't go through the whole process again here (unless anyone wants more information).
Thanks for your post - hopefully if you upgrade to Tiger (are you on 10.3.9?) and also to the latest versions of iMovie and QuickTime, the issue might go away!
Cheers
John

Missing audio edits in YouTube

I load iMovie 11 media file into GB for my audio editing. Works great and then I SHARE as a Quicktime .mov. Quicktime .mov now plays back as it should with ALL my audio edits. Then I upload this file by dragging and dropping the .mov file into YouTube (Yes, it's the correct file) and when played back on YouTube, only original unedited audio track is played back............
My analysis: There must be multiple tracks in the .mov IMHO and Quicktime knows which ones to playback but only the original track is read by YouTube. This may be BS on my part....... I don't think I am doing anything wrong but believe there is a bug running around somewhere.......
Anyone have any ideas how to correct this?
I have the latest iMovie 11 and Garageband and Quicktime running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
BTW, I got this idea for editing iMovie audio in Garageband and Garageband is all set up to do this, from David Pogue Missing Manual. Other then the YouTube problem, it works great. You have all these tracks to work with for sound effects, voice overs, music and panning with complete control.

FLATTEN FIXED IT!
When "SHARE" to Quicktime, you can use H.264 or Mpeg 4 but to FLATTEN the audio tracks, I used AAC and when uploaded to YT, it all was there!
Thanks to all who volunteered the FLATTEN idea! I had called Apple and they said it wasn't their problem as the QT .mov file played back okay while in Apple territory.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP!
