Imovie background soundtrack vs pinned audio

Can someone explain the differenses between dragging an audio clip to the background (so it shows as a big green background) and dragging the clip on top of a clip. I can't see/find any real difference. Can someone explain the logic?
Thanks

  • IMovie ansd Soundtrack Pro

    I'm just starting to play with iMovie and I have Logic Studio which comes with Soundtrack Pro.
    Is there any way to export an iMovie into Soundtrack Pro for audio editing?
    Thank

    Try exporting a Quicktime movie from iMovie, then drag the quicktime movie onto the video track (or drop it into the video window) in Soundtrack Pro.

    See this Tutorial for how audio works in iMovie. In general, you drag the left or right edge of your audio clip.
    You can also use the Clip Trimmer. Click the Gear icon in the music track and select the Clip Trimmer.

  • How to bring my valid iMovie into Soundtrack Pro as a multitrack?

    Hello kind people. My most hummed song right now is "I can't get started with you." To my shame, I am unable to bring my valid iMovie into Soundtrack Pro as a multitrack. I have brought the audio alone, but that leaves me grabbing at air. There must be a simple way. Who will tell me how?

  • HELP! "Reduce background noise" changes from audio clip to clip, even though the percentage is the SAME. At my wit's end...

    I am working on a lengthy editing project and am near tears at this point. Any and all advice would be deeply appreciated.
    I am using  a2012 MacBook Pro running Mavericks (10.9.5) and iMovie 10. I have been using the "reduce background noise" feature in iMovie 10, with movies where audio is detached, and I have a series of clips stitched together (the result of editing, or adding voiceovers). I'll add 4% reduce to the first clip, and it sounds great. I do the same to the second clip and it sounds as though the setting is at 100% — even if it's at 0%. In other words, the audio is really distorted.
    I have tried relaunching iMovie and the MacBook itself, to no avail. The first clip is fine, all those that follow sound horrible, no matter how I change the setting.
    Again, any and all advice or suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks!

    I'm not sure if anyone is going to read or respond to my plea, but just in case, I thought I'd better update.  I went into our local Verizon store today and explained my problems.  I was nervous to do so because I didn't purchase my phone there and didn't know if they'd refuse to help based on that fact.  The local store of a competing carrier will not help you if your phone wasn't purchased in their store.
    What I found out was that my method for pulling the battery was wrong.  I didn't realize the phone needed to be turned on when you did that.  I did it the correct way and now most of my problems are gone.  The one problem it is still having is not being able to update from 2.2.1

  • I made a movie with iMovie and cannot get the audio when I burn into dvd. I would like to transfer video to a dvd to be played in any computer and TV

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

    If there is an item in there drag it out.

  • Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video?

    Good morning,
    Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video in Garageband. I have been looking around at the different sounds and music in Garageband but I have not been able to find anything that would go with the video.
    Here is an example of a Tai chi video if you were wondering

    I want to create something like this for a video I did for a fitness gym for a Yoga instructor and Tai Chi instructor.
    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Brandon,
    you will not have to do any importing in GarageBand. Intalling Mainstage will extent GarageBands Loop Library and Instruments Library.
    After you installed MainStage the additional loops and Instruments will show in GarageBand just like all other Loops. you will simply see more loops.
    For example:

  • Play audio in background without background mode key as audio in info-plist

    My application requires background audio in some conditions but not always, say when a particular screen is active in that case, i want to play audio in background and for that i have specified background key for Audio in info-plist. But my app is not getting approved having following reason:
    While your app has declared support for audio in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist, no audio is played when users switch to another application. The audio background mode is meant for applications with audio streams, like radio applications. You'll need to provide audible content to the user while the app is in the background or remove the "audio" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key.
    so , is there a way for playing audio in background without specifying background mode key ? or app getting approved with this key mentioned ?
    thanks in advance

  • "iMovie doesn't lock the audio to the video - it's an old, old problem"

    Lot's of people have had problems keeping long video clips in sync with their audio in iMovie. I think what this guy says is correct:
    http://forums.mactalk.com.au/11/49711-imovie-hd-sound-out-sync.html#post608307
    "iMovie doesn't lock the audio to the video - it's an old, old problem either you import in short segments so the sound doesn't get too far out of sync or you buy Final Cut Express - it does lock the audio to the video".
    ...and unfortunately I don't know of a way to import in small sections if you've recorded say 4 minutes worth of continuous footage.
    (Come on Jobs get it together!)

    You can replace your internal DVD drive, or get an external DVD drive.
    Note: If your Mac had an internal drive, the Apple external USB DVD drive won't work with it. It's designed to be used only with Macs that don't have internal DVD drives, i.e., MacBook Airs, MacMinis, etc.

  • Problems with a lightning adapter - connecting my iphone 5 to a 30-pin audio cable in my car.

    Randomly, the audio stops recognizing my connection to my car stereo via a 30-pin audio cable connected to my iphone 5 via a lightning adapter. It switches to the internal speaker and I have no idea how or why. It resolves itself just as unpredictably. I cannot replicate these conditions predictably. I have tried another lightning connector and a different audio cable. Due to damage, I also recently changed to a new iphone 5. The problem still exists. It appears to be related to the connector or iOS. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Your case designer should have done their homework .
    They would have full details of the iPhone and its accessories
    assuming they are a developer status

  • Saving My iMovie HD Soundtrack to MP3 or CD Audio

    I have just completed my first iMovie HD project and now I want to just save the soundtrack of the movie (dialog, music, etc) to either an MP3 file or to an audio CD. I tried exporting the movie to Garage Band but ended up with just the audio track that was recorded on the video. Is there an easy way to create a "soundtrack" album of your movie?
    Mac Book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Windows XP Home PC

    Hi x-xp - Yes there is.
    Go Share>QuickTime>Expert Settings>Sound to AIFF
    The resulting file can be imported into iTunes. If you did wnat it as an mp3 file then that can be converted from within iTunes......and of course, in either case, recorded onto a CD.

  • Difference - Background music AND an audio music track added to a clip ?

    Working on a iMovie 08 project, just curious, what's the difference between:
    A. A soundtrack dragged from Media Browser/iTunes and dropped to the background canvas (project viewer) of a movie (resulting in a green/purple background) AND
    B. The same soundtrack added to the movie clips (as an audio track)?
    I see that in both cases I can have the music start at a particular point of video. I can "pin" the audio to a particular place in the video (in the case of background music track) or simply move the horizontal audio track icon to any point of a movie clip (in the case of music being added as an audio track). So just curious if there are other considerations to this?
    Is there an advantage of one over the other?
    When exporting to iDVD are there any performance considerations/differences between the two?
    Thanks for the help in advance!

    Is the clip held in finder, iTunes, or in the iMovie/iLife clips section?

  • In Adobe Elements, how do I get rid of background noise in my audio?

    I just bought a USB microphone to help with my narrations on adobe elements. How do i get rid of the feedback and the echoing noises in the background of my audio?

    supersam9
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Classically USB microphones do not work with Premiere Elements (any version) for use with its Narration Tool. Have you found otherwise?
    Where is the noise - in narration clips produced by the Narration Tool or from imported audio files added to numbered Audio Tracks and/or soundtrack?
    From what you wrote, it appears that the audio noises are confined to the narration being produced with your microphone and Premiere Elements Narration Tool. Is that correct?
    Under fx Effects there are audio effects that you can explore to reduce noise. See Reference Effects Adobe document for a description of the fx Effects audio effects.
    Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Effects reference
    If you use the same microphone and create your narration in Audacity and import that narration into a Premiere Elements project, do you get noise in your narration?
    Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
    Besides making sure that your microphone is compatible with Premiere Elements, have you evaluated your narration recording techniques...how close are you to the microphone, room noise level while recording, etc.

  • Slideshow Soundtrack - Cheesy TV Audio Only Option?

    I just purchased the Apple AV Cable and connected my iPod to my TV, set up some background music for my slideshow, and let her rip. However, the only audio I could get out of the setup was through the cheesy TV speakers, not through my wonderful stereo system that my TV's connected to. Please tell me there's a way to hear the slideshow's iPod soundtrack through my stereo.
    -Ray

    Of course there is!
    Simply connect the audio L+R (white and red) plugs directly to the audio input source you want to use, such as the import source of your stereo (you may need to use extension RCA/phono cables, 2 male to 2 female). The composite video (yellow) plug, or S-Video if using the Photo Dock, will stay connected to your chosen TV or monitor source.
