IMovie Clipping audio from imported video segments

Hey all,
Using MPEGStreamclip with Quicktime MPEG2-Playback, I converted some VOB files ripped from a non-commercial DVD to Quicktime for import into iMovie. The original DVD is PAL format, so I set MPEGStreamclip to export the clips as Quicktime using the Apple DV/DVCPro compression for video and left audio uncompressed.
Upon conversion, if I open these clips with Quicktime Player, everything looks and sounds fine, beginning to end.
However, when I import these clips into iMovie, everything looks and sounds fine except the last six frames of audio for each clip is missing. Just gone.
The VOB files are just over one gig in size (the nature of VOB files, as I understand it) and once converted to QT are about the same size. The QT segments average about six minutes in length
Am I missing something very simple here?
Thanks,
Ron

... I believe Quicktime Pro can handle these ...
sorry to correct you, J, (allthough you give excellent advices so far...):
QTpro will convert the video-only of a mpeg... (loss of audio)
for converting AND demuxxing, you need 3rd party tools.
mostly recommended here, is the combo of mpeg2-plugin from apple.com (20$), plus the free tool Streamclip
for beginners, the other option is a very Mac-like app:
DVD2DV (25/80$)

  • Remove audio from imported video

    Hi guys!
    Tried to search for this feature, but did not find anything on it.
    Is it possible to remove the audio from an imported video clip (FLV) in Captivate 5.5? I want to replace it with another recording.
    Thanks,
    Victor

    Hi,
    This is not possible inside Captivate tool. But you can achieve the same using 'Adobe Media Encoder' tool (AME) which gets installed as a part of Captivate installation.
    1. Launch AME and insert the FLV file
    2. Go to output format settings and look for "Export options"
    3. uncheck the "Audio" option
    4. Start the encoding process to get a newly encoded FLV file.
    You can use this in your Captivate projects and then add a new audio file as per your needs.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Mukul

  • Audio from imported video

    I have been trying to import prerecorded taped video from my camera into clips in Imovie but only the video is coming through with no audio. Is there something that has to be done to make sure the audio also gets imported?

  • Audio from imported video doesn't sync with mp3 audio imported

    I thought I had a neat way to easily "back up" my audio of an event by using an mp3 recorder on the podium to capture speaker and just recording with on-cam mic at the camcorder, so not to have to mess with wireless mics and jack connections on the camcorder. My thought was that since these are both "digital" recordings of the same event, they would stay in sync. Yet when I put them both in the time line of iMovie, the mp3 sound file does not stay in sync, falling behind. Every sentence or so I have to cut some of the file out to shorten it and bring it back into sync. Any guess why these don't stay in sync?
    PV-GS500 DV tape camcorder, sansa m250 mp3
    Cutting the sound file to keep it in sync worked, and I needed in for an event I just recently did, where the first speaker, who spoke briefly, did not turn on the room mic, and couldn't be heard well by the camera mic. So we now hear perfectly what that first speaker said, but I was disappointed that I had to trim after every sentence to keep the mp3 audio in sync.
    Thanks, Dale

    I'm assuming that you are using the Sound class to control
    the MP3 sounds? If that is the case then they will not be sync with
    your timeline and if your animations are too much for the SWF to
    stay at the 30fps rate then it will slow down to complete the
    animations.
    One way to sync them up would be to place them in a layer in
    your timeline and then in the Parameters box at the bottom set the
    Sync dropdown to Stream.
    Then if your movie slows the audio and animations will still
    be together.
    This is not as flexible as you may currently have it but it
    might work for you.

  • On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

    .

    Hey,
    If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.
    A great resource for finding answers to questions like this is http://www.imovietutorialhelp.com
    You can ask questions just like these and they will be answered for you. If you need a tutorial video made or anything like that, you can go there as well and ask for a video to made as well. Check it out.

  • How to extract audio from a video clip

    I am editting a video, and I need to extract the audio from a video clip. On the old iMovie it was really easy, all you had to do was press apple K I think. Thanks in advanced for your help.

    Select the clip in the sequence.
    Then command-L to unlink the clips.
    Then select the audio and delete.
    As a suggestion, two things:
    1. Explain what you want to do. If it is delete the audio, then that is different than extracting the audio;
    2. Do a search in the pdf manual in the help manual

  • Separating audio from the video

    I'm new to this version of iMovie. I only knew how to use an older one from high school, I don't know which version that was, but it had three bars at the bottom to place video and audio files.
    Anyway, I need to know how to separate the audio from a video file while still being able to keep the video clip. Plus, how do you adjust the volume of only certain clips, like for it to start off quiet, but gradually increase in volume?
    Thanks!

  • Can you record the audio from a Video embedded in a pdf?

    I can't seem to find anything on this, so I will ask. A client sent us a company produced interactive pdf and wants us to use the audio from a video clip that is in the pdf. We asked for the audio clip but they don't know who to get it from and just keep saying it is in the pdf. While others try to explain that a pdf and an mp3 are not the same thing. I get to look into a fall back position of trying to extract the audio (or video). There is no copyright issue here. Client peon just can't/won't get the proper file.
    Maybe some one can help or point me to info that says it is not possible.
    Thanks.

    WireTap Studio did the trick. I downloaded a free Trial version and bob's yer uncle.

  • Downloading audio from a video file from iTunes?

    I have a 40G 4th Gen click wheel iPod (no color or video). Is there a way to download just the audio from a video file that I have in iTunes?

    I use Steve's method all of the time, and edit the Audio output in Adobe Audition. You will want to Export/Share to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and keep that format both going and coming back into PrE. Remember that you will be working with an Audio file, that is the full (or almost) Duration of the Timeline. When you Import that edited Audio file, give the program a few moments to Conform that newly Imported PCM/WAV for editing. I suggest not touching the computer, until Conforming has completed 100%, and the little progress bar in the lower-right of the GUI has disappeared. If the Imported Audio file is short, and your computer is fast, you might not even see that progress bar, but the Conforming has taken place, just the same.
    I like to keep the original Audio on its Audio Track(s), and just use Window>Audio Mixer to Mute that/those Track(s), leaving only my edited Audio on its own Track un-Muted. This is a "fail-safe," just in case I change my mind along the way, and wish to revert to the original Audio for some reason. It is much easier to Mute-Unmute, than to gather up all of that original Audio again.
    Good luck, and happy editing,
    Hunt

  • Can I  rip the audio from a video file?

    I have a video file with a band singing on it. I have an ipod nano, so I can't import the video with the singing onto my ipod. Is there anyway to rip the audio from the video file and put that onto my ipod?
    -Thanks

    Open the video in Quicktime Player.
    Select the Export menu item.
    Change the Export type to "Sound to Wave".
    Save the WAV file somewhere with the default settings.
    Load the WAV file into iTunes and use iTunes to convert it to AAC for the Nano.

  • Audio from inserted video keeps playing on next slide

    Hello,
    I'm experimenting with Adobe Presenter 6. I have inserted a
    video clip into a slide. There is a stop action on frame1 with a
    button that advances to frame2. The video has audio, which
    unfortunately keeps playing if I advance to the next slide. If I go
    once slide further ahead, the audio from the video stops. Has
    anyone else encountered this problem? It's driving me crazy!
    Thanks!

    Hi Doc!
    I actually ran into the same situation...not with a video
    clip, but with a basic flash animation that had audio in it. I'm
    not suggesting that the following will definitely work for you, but
    it might be worth taking a look at:
    Any audio that's set to "Event" while editing in Flash will
    continue to "stream" , even while navigating between slides. In
    most cases that I've seen (from my experience), audio will stop if
    the offending slide is placed immediately before a question slide.
    I realize that might not be practical in every case, so....
    1. Make sure that audio sync settings in flash are set to
    "Stream". What this does is effectively kill off any audio once you
    navigate away from the slide that has the embedded flash on it.
    2. you can always add a stopAllSounds(); method in flash, but
    that's not highly recommended
    UNLESS your content slide (with the offending flash object )
    comes immediately before, or within a range of question slides.
    Again, this too might not be entirely practical based on what
    you're trying to do.
    I realize that might not help, but as I said, it might be
    worth taking a look at how you're incorporating your video.

  • Problem: Audio from the video plays, but video does not show.

    Hi,
    I used the following code to play the video. The audio from the video plays displaying the player but there is no visual.
    There is no problem with the video as I have tried several other videos with .mpg and .mov extensions.
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.media.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.net.*;
    public class MediaPanel {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Movie Player");
        static Player player = null;
        public MediaPanel(){
            try{ // method using URL
                URL url=new URL("file",null,"c:\\temp\\A.mpg");
                player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(url);
            } catch( Exception e) {
                System.out.println(" Unable to create the audioPlayer :" + e );
            Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();
            frame.getContentPane().add( control, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            frame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
                public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                    MediaPanel.stop();
                    System.exit(0);
            frame.pack();
            frame.setSize( new Dimension(600,600) );
            frame.setVisible(true);
            player.start();
        public static void stop(){
            player.stop();
            player.close();
        public static void main( String args[]){
            MediaPanel panel = new MediaPanel();
    }

    use this code "Component control = player.getVisualComponent(); "
    instead of this code " Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();"
    But if you want show both of them, modify as following
    Component control1 = player.getControlPanelComponent();
    Component control2 = player.getVisualComponent();
    then add the two control (control1 & control2 ) to your JFrame panel

  • How do I get audio from mp4 video to stop playing on other slides? URGENT

    I have imported an mp4 video into my Captivate file, and it plays well. But when I get to slides after that one, the audio from the video file repeats on several other slides. How do I get this ugly behavior to stop?
    I don't want to unsync the audio and video because it could get out of sync on playback.
    Please advise ASAP. I am supposed to be handing this in tomorrow and have spent countless hours doing workarounds on this project already...
    Thank you very much for any help you can give me.
    Ellen

    Hello Ellen,
    What is your Captivate version and what option did you choose to insert the video?
    If it is Captivate 6, Can you use the Multi Slide Synchonize video. If it is a Previous version, can you select the Video and from properties choose to synchronize with project?
    Does the audio play on other slides when you jump from an incomplete video to other slides or when you view the complete video and then move to rest of the slides.
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • After I detach audio from the video, and I go to delete the video portion but keep the audio, it deletes both. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello Everyone!
    I would appreciate your support if you can. I know how to detach the audio from a video clip. Once this is done I wanted to add another video shot (B-roll) over the audio I detached. When I go to delete the video (which is detached form the audio) It deletes both of them automatically.
    Is there something I am doing wrong? Do I need to unpin the audio somehow?
    Thanks again.

  • Recording Audio from DVD Video

    Hi,
    I have a music concert video on DVD. I would like to record a song off the video so that I can learn to play the guitar part. Is there any software out there that will separate the audio from the video, or in other words, capture the audio and maybe convert it to mp3 format so that I can play it in iTunes without playing the video?
    Sincerely,
    Jim

    Audio Hijack will let you capture audio from any running Mac Os X application.
