IMovie menu: Where is the background music icon?

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/11959.html There it says to click the backgrond music icon... What is that, and what does it look like? I can't find it.
Thanks.

What is that, and what does it look like? I can't find it.
Background music is music you have added to a project "in the background area of the Project window." (I.e., it is not "pinned" to any particular video clip.) Its icon is a pea green in color and looks like this:

  • How can I get the background music from iMovie trailer, "Romance"to be used in another imovie?

    Is there any way to download the background music from the  iMovie trailer template "Romance" to be used in another iMovie of greater length than that of a trailer?

    In addition to Tom's good advice, another method is to access the audio file in iMovie's package contents folder.
    In Finder, in the Applications folder, right-click (or control-click) on iMovie.app and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. Open the folder Contents>Resources. In that folder you will find components for each Trailer, including the soundtrack. The file you are seeking is named "SoundTrack - Romance.m4a".
    Copy then paste the file to your Desktop (don't otherwise mess with items in package contents folders!). Open the file in QuickTime - it is titled "Love Story FC2". Opening the Inspector in QuickTime (Window>Show Movie Inspector) reveals it as AAC format. If you wish, as Tom indicated, you can Export the file from QuickTime in other sound formats, such as AIFF. If preferred, you can import either the AAC file or the converted file to iTunes (or other audio apps) for use as required.

  • Attaching the background music file to the clips

    Hello! I'm not sure if I can do this with iMovie but I hope so!
    I have made a video that consists of a large number of short clips and I have set it to music. What I want to do now is rearrange those clips but keep the music that is playing with each clip. So when the new video gets played the music will be all shuffled up.
    For an example: let's say I have four clips in my movie and they are, in order, A, B, C and D. The music playing the background is "I'm a little teapot". During clip A the lyric "I'm a little teapot" plays. During clip B "short and stout" plays and during clip C "here is my handle" plays and in clip D "here is my spout". What I want to do is reorder those four clips so the movie plays them as B, D, C and A and keeps the music linked to each clip. So, when watching the new video, you hear "short and stout here is my spout here is my handle i'm a little teapot."
    Is that possible? Can you link the background music to the individual clips in this way? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    There are a couple of ways to do this.
    1) In iMovie, drag the music clip from the media browser into the project and drop it on the first clip.
    Adjust the rear handle so it only plays during the first clip. Then drag in the same music clip from the media browser to the second clip. Drag the front handle to the right so that it starts playing where the other one left off. Drag the back handle to the left until it only covers one clip. Repeat until done.
    2) If you know the length of your clips, use Garageband to create a series of short audio clips that are the exact length you need for each clip. Then drag and drop on the iMovie clips.

  • How can I reduce the background music from a song when I'm trying to make a mashup in Garageband?

    I'm creating a mashup between two songs (Titanium and Starships). Everything seems fine: I just need to cut out the background music for the Starships song. Does anybody know how to? Thanks!!

    Extract the audio from the movie with either Quicktime Pro,  iMovie or a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus Pro and use it as the menu's audio.

  • Is there a way to mute the background music in a slideshow so the audio of an included video can be heard?

    I am running iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2 (710.42) on a MacBook Pro.  Some of the slide shows I have developed have videos included along with photos.  I have added background music to these slide shows with the sideshow music selector.  The videos have audio that I want the viewer to hear, however the background music continues to play and the video audio is hard to hear, and when there is music in the audio of the video, the two musical pieces tend to clash. Is there a way to mute the background music so the audio of the video can be clearly heard?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    That's called 'ducking' and no, not with iPhoto. You need something with more control of the soundtrack.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?

    Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?
    I created a project a few months ago, and iMovie worked as it always had. I would create a project, add a background song, then add photos to fill up the song.
    When I created a project today, I added the background song (4m9s), then added a single photo, and the background song length was shortened to 6 seconds. I have never seen the app work this way. I know I can extend the photo to the length of the background song, but it used to be so much easier to add photos and sync them with the music as I desi
    I'm using iPad2 with iMovie v1.4.1.
    Thoughts?

    When I've added photos to a project they are added to a default time to appear. Honestly I've never looked at the time but 6 seconds sounds close. I'm guessing that since you added the photo after you add the music that its thinking you want the two to match in time length so it tunicates the music. Try adding the photo first then add the music. Good luck!

  • Where is the "reading list" icon in Safari 8.0.4?

    Where is the "reading list" icon in Safari 8.0.4? I need to put it in my menu bar but I can't seem to find it in "Customise toolbar" or "Prefs"

    OK, your are looking for "Add to Reading List" button.
    It is available by default but hidden.
    Move the mouse pointer to the very left in the Safari address bar, a "+" sign in a circle will appear.
    Click it to add an item to Reading list.

  • My Iphone 3s is stuck and will not open, I have an image of a USB cord with an arrow pointing up to the Itune music Icon and my phone won't open or be recognized by itunes or my computer.

  • How do I find and save the background music file of my Flash site?

    I see that the background music in my Flash site is located in a symbol called muz.  When I click the properties of this symbol, the sound file's location is listed as .\flash\sound\muz.wav  I couldn't find that sound sub-folder in the flash folder nor could I find the file.  I tried doing a search to look for the muz.wav file in my computer but it could not be found.  Does anyone know how I can find and save this file?  Can the symbol somehow be exported and the sound file be extracted that way?

    I copied and pasted the symbol into an empty .fla file.  This new .fla file is just 1 frame.  Can you tell me what you mean by "spreading" it along the timeline?  When I tried exporting it to a .wav file (as just 1 frame in timeline), I only hear a fraction of a fraction of the first note of the music in the generated .wav file.  The music is heard fine in its entirety when previewing the .fla file (F12).
    By the way, in the symbol's properties, there is an option to "Export for ActionScript" and an option to "Export for runtime sharing".  Do you think any of these would work?

  • Where did the Secure Site Icon go ?

    I know the status bar was removed and an and on bar replaces it but
    Where did the Secure Site Icon go ? Will not use FF without it !
    I cant find anything about it. ( FF 40b7 ) How do I get it back ?
    Not so little things like this will hurt FF. And YES I understand this is beta but come on guys/gals this is IMPORTANT !
    I probably just missed something stupid but I could use some help please.

    Every financial institution (bank, credit union,...), every news outlet (print/TV/Radio/blog) reaches out to millions of elderdly folks and other non-geeks and tells them to run away as soon as they dont see a Key or Lock on a secured page (or maybe so-called secured page from what I get you are trying to push through).
    This is a major Change Management disaster waiting to happen... Not just for Firefox but for every web site using secure transactions. Countless organisations are going to get calls from users telling them, "Your site is not secured, Oprah and CNN told me so".
    Go for color scheme or other visual indicator to warn of security level, but absolutely dont lose the icon !

  • One song on my iPhone only plays the background music on the build-in iPhone speakers. The song has been on my phone for a while and it used to play just fine. With the headphones on it plays normally.

    Please help! (I'm actually doing this for a friend but still)
    All you need to know:
    - iPhone 4 16GB
    - iOS 6.0.3 (I think, not the latest iOS but the one before that)
    - Song which started to act strange: niggas in Paris
    - All songs work fine on headphones (including above)
    - The song has been on the iPhone for a couple of months and used to play without any trouble
    - When you play it on the iPhone's speakers you either only hear the background music, no sound at all (for a few seconds) or a weird old FM-radio noise
    - Plays fine on iTunes
    All help is appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I have this issue too.  Same specs, newest OS.  Happening on "O.N.E." by Yeasayer, but doesn't play the vocals through the speaker or headphone jack, unlike your issue.  I just get all but the vocal track no matter what.  Plays fine in iTunes.  If you never get that distortion through the speaker any other time, maybe you can delete the song. 
    In my case, I can't delete the song through the phone since I use iTunes Match, but if you actually sync the songs/download them, that would be my first suggestion (swipe across, hit "delete.").  Maybe that would work?  Then resyncing or redownloading. 
    If not, maybe resetting or restoring may be the fix. 

  • What is the background music to this video I know it's a ilife jingle or sound effect but what is it

    I was a watching a video of a prank from these well known prank ears on youtube and I want to know what the background music is I know for a fact that it is a ilife jingle or sound effect but I don't know what it is here's a link to that video listen to the background music please reply. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adcy-66et3s
    It is also at the beginning of a video by theroyalstampede just goto their vids and look for superman car yard
    It's like an irish theme but WHAT IS IT ?

    Shazam identifies it as "Dirry Of Dj Smellyballz 2" by Big J. This could be wrong of course - I've never heard of that particular tune. My first attempt to identify it picked up the tune in the ad preceding the video clip, hence my reason for deleting my earlier post.
    I agree with AppleMan in that I've never come across it in the iLife jingles.
