Music fade in/out?

Is it possible to adjust the sound level at the beginning and end of a section in FCE?

Yes. One way is to load the clip into the Viewer, then set keyframes. Or you can simply add an audio transition at the start and end. Or, if you have Clip Overlays turned on in the Timeline, you can do it with the Pen (p) tool.

Fade in & out of music

Easy answer, I'm sure...but I am used to iMovie '04 and I can't seem to figure out how I can fade my music in and out...any help?
Thanks much in advance!

I figured it out! Sorry to bother...

I am having trouble with the handle bars for music fade in and fade out. It doesn't work. I also cannot see wave forms for music. Cannot select - it is grey. On a deadline and really having problems.

I am trying to finish a video and I want to fade the music in and out. I have read every tutorial I can get and the help info in iMovie. Nothing helsp. I cannot get it to fade by just sliding the handle bars. Other times, the music mutes completely when I try to add a fade. I try to view wave forms for music and it does not allow me to select . it remains grey. I am getting frustrated. I had no problem with 11 version. I now have 10.0.2 version. Can anyone help? my computer is latest Mac Book Pro 2013

This is described in:

A tip though - if you have a transition at the start or end of a clip it often obscures the fade handle. Trick is to temporarly move the transition (or delete it), move the fade handle then replace the transition.

Noise after music fades out (headphones)

Hi there!
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this...
When I receive a call and I'm listening to music through headphones, it will fade out, ring, then fade in again and resume the song when the call ends. However, the "fade out" process has a glitch, where some static noise is heard just as the music fades out completely and before the ringtone begins. I found out that this only happens if the iPhone's display was off (ie, sleeping). If it happens to be on when you receive the call, the fading process is 100% clear. This makes me suspect it has to do with the turning on of the screen.
Can anyone confirm that this is an issue and not some problem with my equipment?
Thanks!

I found that it happens whether you're using headphones or not, so it's definitely an internal (software) issue.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Music fades and turns off after a few seconds of playback.

I've noticed an odd problem with the ipod/music function of my iphone 4. When start an album, the first song will play for about 15 seconds. After that, the music fades and stops all together. I have to physically go back and push play again. It will play fine for some time, but this will happen again randomly.
It's particularly annoying when using the phone in the car. I know the iphone automatically does this if you unplug the headphone jack while the music is playing. I wonder if something could be wrong with that mechanism, maybe the jack.
I also only noticed this after updating to 4.3. If it's a 4.3 issue hopefully the next update (4.3.1?) will fix it.
Has anyone else had this issue/figured out what its all about?

So I did call Apple. That was pointless since they had no idea what was wrong. I made an appointment with a Genius at the Apple store nearest to me. The associate who checked me in said his wife had the same problem (and discovered it while on an 8 hour flight, which stinks).
The genius who helped me was great. He had no idea what the issue was and hadn't heard of the issue before, so he took my phone into the back room and ran some diagnostics.
He found that there was nothing wrong with the hardware at all, but he noticed an error with my firmware.
He restored my phone (while my phone was plugged into itunes he held down the home and wake/sleep buttons. Then when the apple logo appeared he let go of the sleep/wake button but kept the home button pressed). This erased everything. I wasn't worried about that since all my contacts, apps, and music were backed up on my computer.
I guess he reinstalled the latest firmware and os update. He put a couple of albums worth of music on there too for me to test it. Problem solved.
It took an hour or two for me to get everything back onto my phone and in its proper place.
That was a pain, but worth it since I can now listen to music freely with no interruption.
The only thing I'm really ****** about is that my game data is all erased. Apparently when you back up your apps in itunes, it doesn't back up your progress/saves/scores in your games. I have about 30 games on my phone so this really, really *****. I guess I will just have to replay all the levels in Angry Birds, Peggle, Cut the Rope, etc. Lost a lot of progress in Infinity Blade which is pretty especially awful.
I just listened to about a half hour of music with no interruptions though, so I guess its a fair trade.
Good luck.

Iphoto slideshow music fade

in iphoto, can you create a custom playlist for a slideshow where you make the music fade vs end and start?

No. You would have to create a special audio file containing all of tracks you want with the fade in and out at the beginning and end. There are audio editors that can do that. Go to MacUpDate.com and search for "audio edit" to get a list of potential applications. I use Amadeus Pro which works well for me.

Fade in/out effect too slow

Hi!
I'm trying to do a fade in/out effect between two images using the following code:
public void render(Graphics g, Image imageFrom, Image imageTo, int width, int height) {
Image buffer=gc.createCompatibleVolatileImage(width,height);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)buffer.getGraphics();
int counter=0;
while (counter<90) {
   counter=counter+2;
   double alphaScalar = Math.sin(Math.toRadians(counter));
   g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.SrcOver);
   g2.drawImage(imageFrom, 0, 0, null);
   g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, (float)alphaScalar));
   g2.drawImage(imageTo, 0, 0, null);
   g.drawImage(buffer, 0, 0, null);
try {
   Thread.sleep(1);
catch(InterruptedException ex){}
g.dispose();
g2.dispose();
buffer.flush();
}The problem is that it's too slow and jerky, even in fast computers. I need a smoother transition. Can someone help me, please ?
Before you ask me, I've put a "Thread.sleep(1)" line to allow another thread playing a background music to breath.
Thanks in advance

Exporting slideshow results in unwanted music fade

Hi all, I sure hope someone can help. When I create a slideshow in iPhoto '09 and set music to it, it plays back great. But when I export the slideshow, using any method (specifically to .m4v or .mov), the music fades by the end of the slideshow. It's disconcerting, because that's not how it plays back in iPhoto. It's also troublesome because it's not what I want! It's not even a normal fade over the last few seconds - it starts early and goes very slowly, lasting the final 30-60 seconds. Bizarre. Anyway, I need to get rid of it. I've searched every option to no avail, in both iPhoto and iTunes (where I'm pulling my music from). Please help - I have a project due on Thursday that I've got to fix this for!
I am aware I can export the slideshow with no sound, import to iMovie and add my music there. I'm prepared for that contingency, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Does anyone have an answer for me? Is there an option I'm missing somewhere, or any other way of getting rid of this unwanted fade? Thanks in advance for any help.

Stewy and others, after much experimenting, I figured out the problem: when you have your slideshow set to "Fit Slideshow to Music", it fades the music slowly and early. If you have your slideshow set to play a certain amount of seconds per slide, the music plays fine. Note that the music plays fine both ways in iPhoto itself, which is why it was so tricky to track this down, but when you export your slideshow, "Fit Slideshow to Music" = bad. I don't consider adding a black slide to the end to be a satisfactory solution; it still throws all the timing off. The only real solution (that I could find) is to consider the "Fit Slideshow" feature to be broken (which it is - I hope Apple is reading this), and not use it. Instead, just manually fit the slideshow yourself. It's a pain and it takes a few minutes, but the resulting export is worth it.
Apple - this is definitely a bug. It's also worth noting that it only happened AFTER I updated a freshly installed iPhoto '09 to the latest update, so it was a bug introduced in an update. Straight out of the box, this doesn't happen (though there are other worse bugs that are fixed by the update, so it's still worth updating and handling this particular bug manually). I sure hope this bug is fixed soon, though, because the "Fit Slideshow" feature is very useful, and having to do it manually *****.
Hope this helps others out there - I searched Google quite a bit before giving up and posting here.

How do I view ipod music files with out using I tunes?

I trying to view my Ipod music files without using itunes. But when I conect my Ipod to my pc I can only view contacts, notes, and caladar through the driver.
How do I view ipod music files with out using I tunes?

they should be under ur my music folder if u have windows

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port). I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive? I don't have enough space to do that.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

Have a 2nd gen nano and all music is grayed out, can't create playlists or manage library

I've updated to the latest iTunes SW and now all music is grayed out on my iPod. I have restored and still no luck. Any ideas?

The file wasn't locked. I just can't figure out how all the music is closed off from making any adjustments. Thanks for the suggestion.

I downloaded iTunes to a new computer and authorized that computer but my music is grayed out and will not play, how do I get access to my music?

Is there a way to change that?
You can easily set up the iPod to automatically sync to your current iTunes library (or just do a Restore), but that will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your current iTunes library (erasing the iPod). If your old computer was "retired" gracefully and you were able to transfer its complete iTunes user data to your new computer, there is no problem because all of the songs on the iPod now are already in your current iTunes library. However, if there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, those songs will be lost. That may be a problem...
If you want to preserve what is on the iPod, you can try setting the iPod to Manually manage music and videos. I believe you can do that from an iTunes library that is not the iPod's currently associated library. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen. Check the box for Manually manage music and videos. (If iTunes puts up any warning about erasing or replacing the iPod's existing content, Revert the change and cancel out.) Click Apply. The iPod is no longer set to automatically sync. But you can add new content manually to what is already on the iPod. And the songs should not be grayed out.
However, you cannot use iTunes to transfer songs on the iPod to your current iTunes library (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). If there are songs on the iPod that are not in your computer's iTunes library, you should eventually "offload" those song files because your iPod can easily break, become corrupted, or get lost. iTunes syncs content in one direction only (from computer to iPod), but there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like iPod "transfer," you should get some links, including a CNET article on the topic.
Once all of your songs are "consolidated" in your current iTunes library, you can set up the iPod for automatic syncing to that library.

After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine. How do I get my music back????

The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me :(

I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me
I have my post dont want to duplicate it

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.
