Is there an easier way to strip the video to leave just the audio in a clip?

A friend asked me how to remove the video so as just to leave the audio in a clip.
She said she had tried detaching and expanding the video, but even though she selected just the video, whenever she hit the delete/backspace  key everything disappeared.
I couldn't find a way of doing it but suggested the old trick of simply exporting the clip as  audio only.
It seems a bit convoluted so is there a quicker way?

I have just realised that this is not quite the solution I thought it was.
The gap is almost like an invisible clip which prevents anything being added to the timeline above the audio.
Yes, you can attach another clip above the timeline but it's not exactly elegant.
It appears that the only way to get rid of the video to leave an uncompromised audio clip is to Share>Audio Only and re-import.

  • Why isn't there an easy way to add a photo to photoStream from the finder?

    Apple makes it easy to share your photo with Twitter, FB, Flickr, etc. Why not Photo Stream? As far as I know, the only way to add a photo to photo stream is to open iPhoto and then add the photo to that.  This seems to be a very poor way of quickly adding a photo.

    If you have a suggestion make it here: Apple Feedback. This is the wrong venue.

  • Is there an easy way to clear the contents of Download Folder?

    Is there an easier way to clear out files (send to trash) from the downloads folder, other than dragging one by one? The downloads folder closes immediately upon dragging one file out.

    You do not need to invoke Finder to do this. Create a new empty Automator workflow and use the "Run Shell Script" option. Paste in the following....
    mv ~/Downloads/* ~/.Trash
    You can then save the workflow as an application, attach it as a Finder action or add it to the scripts menu, whichever you like better.
    If you would like to bypass the Trash and just completely delete the Downloads folder contents immediately, then paste in this command:
    rm -rf ~/Downloads/*

  • HT1660 is there an easy way to delete the whole itunes library and and start again. I notice there is only an add file/folder button but no remove facility

    I recently upgraded to the iphone 5 and managed to sort the transition out with little trouble but noticed when I tried to put my music on that Itunes has messed with album info and either it or me has generated several copies of the same albums over the years and it makes it quite dificult to sort it all out before reloading on the phone. To stop the chaos I had hoped to clear the library and start again but cant find a way to do it. I was hoping to sort all my music out in original files and consolidate them into a proper folder. HOw do I do this. I notice there is an add fole and folder button but no take away??? is there an easy way?

    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. If you have multiple references to the same files then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • Is there an easy way to filter a 2-d array based on the values of two of the fields?

    Is there an easy way to filter a 2-d array based on the values of one of the fields. In my attached VI the output array has the following format:
    TimeStamp        Ident                Frame Type          Bytes    Data
    10:57:07.621   3AD00016   CAN Data Frame   8          0000000000000000
    10:57:07.622   3AD00017   CAN Data Frame   8          000005E000000000
    10:57:07.624   3AD00018   CAN Data Frame   8          0000000003300000
    10:57:07.625   2DC00000   CAN Data Frame   8          0000000000000000
    10:57:07.626   3AD00019   CAN Data Frame    4         0000030000000000
    I would like to delete any rows that do not have an "Ident" between the values of 3AD00000 and 3AD0001E. So for the above data the fourth row would be deleted. The only way I can see to do it is to form a 1-d array. Is there a better approach?
    Thank you.
    Solved!

    Hi chuck72352,
    after you have sorted your data, you can use the InRange Function. Combined with a "search 1D Array" you'll get the range you really want.

    is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress  itunes  doesn't recognize the feed.
    my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
    garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
    share to itunes.
    drag file to desktop.
    upload .m4a file to google drive.
    create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
    click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
    i copy this url.
    go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
    itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
    when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
    i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
    still the same error message.
    i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
    wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
    this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

    if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

    Sometimes when I copy a CD into iTunes all of the songs do not show y up in one album, but mutiple albums, all with the same name. Is there an easy way to get all of the songs into one album.

    Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

  • Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

    iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • If I have say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the 150 extras in part to save space on the hard drive, is there an easy way to find which photos to delete?

    If I have, say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM, and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the extra 150 photos, is there an easy way to know which 150 photos to trash? My idea is to not have hundreds of photos taking up space on the hard drive.
    Thanks.

    Various ways:
    Easy one: Flag the ones you want to keep (do this in the Album - Select All and Flag)
    Then:
    File -> New Smart Album
    Event -> contains -> Name of the Event
    Photo -> Is Not -> Flagged
    will find the unwanted 150.
    Regards

  • HT1399 When I import a CD to itunes, it splits the album in to multiple entries. I have changed the info on some but others just will not merge. Is there an easy way to do this and can I stop them from splitting in future? Thanks

    Okay this is what fixed my problem. Some kind of error/glitch occured half-way through importing that third cd that prevented further imports from any other cd. Once I completely removed the half-imported cd album from my library I could further import cd's without any problems.

  • In Mail on the iPad, is there an easy way to place emails in the junk file like on the iMac?

    Is there an easy way to place emails received on my iPad into a junk file like you can do on the iMac by using a junk icon to stop certain emails from reoccuring?

    You would need to first set up a junk folder, once that is done, when you are previewing message there is an icon on top of a folder with an arrow inside it, tap on it, this is the move action, in the folder list that now appears tap on the junk folder.

  • Is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file

    is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file? I recently swapped to Mac and this is how i moved the library from windows to mac and library is in tact but is there an easier way? My cousin just imported her cd's again, but it was harder for me as i have an ipod with over 150 apps and i needed to move them. i think it would be helpful if i knew of an easier way so i can help a friend move his. Thanks

    The general method of use is to download a script (double-click or right-click and use Download or Save As...) to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist or sometimes the entire library.

  • I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer, is there an easy way to do this?

    I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer (PC) instead of the old one, is there an easy way to do this?

    Extract from one of our senior participant.
    Syncing with new computer
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
