Is there a way to separate audio from a video clip in iMovie HD?

iMovie 6.0.4
Sorry if this has been answered before.
Is there any way to edit audio within iMovie? What I mean is, importing an audio file but then editing and separating the audio file into smaller pieces. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any help, much appreciated!

Edit the same as you would a video clip. Highlight the audio clip by clicking on it, then select the place you want to edit it with the playhead, go to EDIT and select Split Audio Clip at Playhead.

Is there a way to export audio from iMovies?

I have extracted audio from a video clip that I wish to put into my iTunes library. I was wondering if there is an easy way to do this?
Many thanks.

One way is to drag the extracted audio clip onto your desktop. Then open iTunes and import it in from the file menu.

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.

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

Trying to combine audio from a video clip with a photo

Is there a way to allow the audio of a video clip to continue, while the visual is changed? I'm trying to insert a photo to replace the last few seconds of a video as the song in the video finishes.

Not at the moment. Hopefully at some point they will add a feature to independently trim the audio and video to allow this type of edit, otherwise known as an L cut.

Is there a way to recover sound from recorded video?

I went to a concert a few days ago and recorded some videos to find out the next day that the sound wasn't recorded. I tried making another video and the mic works fine. The speakers and mic you talk into work fine too. So is there any way to recover the audio part of the video?

not likely if a finger was blocking the mic or the likes then no audio was ever added to the video

How to extend audio from a video clip over an adjacent still image

I'm in iMovie 11. My project looks like this: video A, transition, still image B, transition, video C. I want the sound from video C to start playing while still image B is on the screen. I tried following the iMovie 11 help instructions for extending a video clip's audio. I click on video C and open the precision editor. From there I can grab video C and move it back so that it overlaps with the still image, but all that happens is the still image still shows up, without sound, and video clip C starts in the middle. The help instructions seem to indicate that I should be able to drag only the audio and make that overlap the still image, but it's not happening. Either the video and audio move together, or nothing moves.
When I try detatching video C from its audio, I just end up with a big mess because later the audio and video don't synch up.
What am I doing wrong?

I am having the same challenge... any tips here would help me out in a big way. I recorded my boss tdoing a training session and now I would like to have the powerpoint slides change as necessary - but I want the audio to remain. I would love to just get the slides to change rather than back to full before bringing up the next slide. Jim, if you come up with anything, let me know. I have VC2 pro.

Taking audio from one video clip to another

Hello,
In editing a short film, there are scenes where the director is talking in the background, while the action is going on. If I like the video of this particular take, but want to use sound from another take, what would be the best way of doing this? I could conceivably take the sound from the one clip and put it in with the desired video clip, but, I do not know if that is the most efficient way, especially when it comes to matching up everything - thanks!

This is one of the basics of editing Kristina. Just cut the video you want on V1 (video only), then put the audio you want on V2. This happens ALL the time. Director giving directions in the middle of shots. This is one of the reasons we get room tone after we are done shooting, before you wrap a set. Need to have something to cover the hole you make in cutting out the BANGS and dolly moves and director talking...stuff like that.

Patch in Audio from Similar Video Clip

I have video of our church's Christmas play, shot with a Panasonic TM700. The audio is with the video, from the camcorder. My problem is that in some of the dialog, one girl's lapel mic quit working, so every time she speaks its really hard to hear what she says.
I have similar video from a dress rehearsal where this person's mic was working fine. I'd like to be able to replace the bad audio from the actual performance with the good audio from the dress rehearsal, just for this one person. Can someone suggest a good workflow for that? Can it all be done in FCPX, or does the good audio need to be extracted from the video before bringing it in?

Never mind, I figured this out. I just imported the clips from the rehearsal to my event, right clicked and chose Open in Timeline, then copied and pasted the audio from there to my project. Pretty easy.

You can copy the pages files on your Mac into the file sharing section of iTunes. Then sync your iPad. The files will be copied to your iPad. There is a link to the iPad manual in the bookmarks of safari on your iPad. Download and view the manual especially the section on sharing with iTunes.

Is there a way to hear audio from an XServe and RDA??

We have a training CD that runs on our XServe and we need others to be able to log in an run the video's.
I don't see anything listed under Audio "No Built in Audio" in Get Info.
Seems simple but it's got me stymied...

ARD does not support the transmitting of audio.

Is there a way to mute audio when capturing video?

I have the FCPX installed and want to background capture video without listening to the audio. There was a small preview checkbox with the audio meteres in FCP 7. Is there a similar option in FCPX?

Yea, that certainly works, but it doesn't let me do anything else that requires listening to audio.

Is there a way to monitor audio while recording video on iphone?

I use an external microphone with a y-splitter for plugging in the mic but I can't get any sound out of the headphone side. Don't know if it's the adapter or if the phone just doesn't do that.

There are some special microphones made for iPhone use that provide headphone output, such as the iRig

Is there a way to create a picture from a video clip in Imovie?

Hello everyone,
I want to take a part of the video and make it a picture (jpeg) or anything like that. Is it possible in Imovie or other programs?
Thanks
Gregg

OOPS I gave you the method that worked for iMovie 08. It has changed slightly in iMovie 09...
The Previous method still works, I think, if you are choosing a still from an Event file.
However, if you want to choose a still from your Project file,
1) move the cursor to the frame you want.
2) Right-click (or control-click) and select ADD FREEZE FRAME
3) The freeze frame will be added to the project right behind the current clip (not at the end)
4) Right-click on the freeze frame and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
5) You will see the jpg file in the finder window. Drag it into iPhoto, or onto the iPhoto icon in the dock.

70D Is there a way to control audio while recording video?

I have figured out how to control the audio manually prior to entering the video record mode (no thanks to the manual) but can’t figure out how to control it once the camera is recording.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Tim, if Canon were to introduce a software update that allowed one of the dials to increase or decrease record level during recording, that would really elevate the 70D's standing as a video device. Is it possible?
I was recording a musician the other day who turned up his amp during a song and was stuck with the manual level I'd set before he started. It's a helpless feeling knowing you've either got to settle for distortion or stop and restart the recording, losing part of the song.
