Mute and unmute audio in video clips

Making an hour long movie. I only want the original movie sound on 2 or 3 clips - the rest my own music. In the past I did it by dragging the movie sound (in Box A) to bottom to mute it then raising it where I wanted it to be heard. However, this would be a royal pain in this case. Is there a way to uncheck the original movie sound where I want my own music, then check it where I want to hear it? I can't seem to do so without making it all heard or none. Can anyone help with a quick way of doing this? Thanks,
Max

Hi Max:
You can extract all of the original audio. It will show up on the second line of the timeline.
Click on one of the extracted audio clips and Edit >'select All". Use the volume slider to mute all of the clips to "0".
If they aren't already, you will need to split the audio where you want to hear it and go back to the volume slider and increase the volume there.
Man, I'm not a very good teacher-hope you understood that one!

Please help

Don't edit the audio into the timeline. Or pull the audio level down to zero in the inspector or on the audio waveform in the timeline.

How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
Here is a good Tutorial.
If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

How can I mute and unmute my Mic using the button ...

I have a button on my mic that is a play/pause button. It works fine when playing music on my phone. Can I use this button to mute and unmute my mic when using skype? The Volume up and down buttons already work. Thanks

That cable set up you have is probably not going to work. The iOS devices seem a little sensitive to having the right connector for the right job. I have the USB connector (and the HDMI one too) which is in 2 parts: mini USB link and SD. My older Nikon D70s does not use SD cards, so I use the cable. When connected any images on the card (in the camera) are displayed in the built-in Photo app in an Imports album. Just touch the Import button and all are brought in. I use RAW and have found that the RAW images are transferred to the computer (MacBook Pro + Aperture) when I get home. A comparison (I kept the images on the card and imported from that too) shows that the resolution/size is identical. As an additional note as you mentioned this, video clips work the same.
With all the connectors, I carry a small bag for the devices I work with.

Imovie11 audio on video clips does not convert when sharing, just get white noise

Imovoie 11 audio on video clips works in project mode, upon sharing to theater or file it generates whitenoise. Project mode has original video sound and added song paired correctly. Comes out as white noise in theater or new file.

Hi,
I did some more testing this time a shorter 2 minute video. Again trying to mute sections of the audio. I used garageband again to edit. Then convert the MOV with both FFmpegX and Flash 8. FFmepgX converted the file in about 1 minute, but still did not render the muted sections as mute.
I converted then with flash 8 it took about 30 minutes, god that is slow, but it did retain the muted sections. So I'm thinking maybe the FFmepgX converted has an issue with audio tracks that come from garage band.
Thanks,
Mike

Meeting Place 8.0 - Mute and Unmute Particular Participant

Hi,
I have setup of Meeting place 8.0 Application Server (Express Media Server) and Web Server 8.0
Problem is when Meeting Chairperson (host), who schedules a meeting, can't Mute/ unmute other attendees (Particular Ones) in same meeting (Act as a moderator).
Now, If we provide Attendant privilege to the host, we gets those rights to Mute and Unmute of that meeting As well As all the other meetings running(which is an problem).
Can we have a meeting Chairperson with Mute/ Unmute access (Particular Ones) for only meeting which has been hosted by him.
Please provide some valuable inputs on the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashish Bagla

Hi Ashish,
If you have MeetingPlace Audio only solution, from telephone user interface there is no possible way to mute individual participants. You, as a host, can mute only all participants, and then individual participants can unmute themselves if they want to say something.
The only other alternative is to use Conference Manager. However, to be able to use this tool, the user/host has to be either Attendant or System Administrator type of user.
More about Conference Manager you can find here:
1. How to install Conference Manager:

I hope this will help.

Extracting audio from video clip to use as narration?

Hi there,
I have a video clip in which I want to take the audio of actor speaking and put it onto another video.
I.e. he is speaking about walking in the park. I want to take him speaking about walking in the park and put it onto the clip where he is actually walking in the park.
How do I do this in premiere elements 10?

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the quick response. I guess my question now is how would I do those two things?
In terms of exporting the audio, where can I find that option when I'm on timeline?
What do you mean by "Alt-click" and what is a "muxed file"?
Thanks again,
Mallory

Welcome to the forum. There are several ways to accomplish this, and your choice might well rest on how you like to work, and what you are doing, such as Deleteing Video. First, you could Export/Share just the Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, from your Timeline, and Import that into a New Project, where the Audio WAV file would be used. OTOH, you could Atl-click on the Video portion of the muxed file, and Delete the Video, leaving only the Audio portion. Good luck, Hunt

Am using ipad air, my question is under accessibility mute and unmute button is not working.

pls help me am using ipad air, under accesibility the mute and unmute button are not working.

Do you mean that you have Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to 'Mute', and you have the switch on the right-hand side of your iPad, above the volume control, 'on' ? WIth that 'on' notification sounds should be muted (e.g. email notifications, game sounds etc), but the you should still be able to hear the Videos and Music apps and with headphones. Is that not happening, and if not you've tried toggling the switch on the side of your iPad on/off ?

Mute and unmute button is actionscript 3.0

Hi,
I am wondering how to make a mute and unmute button is actionscript 3.0. I did it before in actionscript 2.0 but not in 3.0.
Here is my actionscript 2.0 code.
var sound = 1;
var slashMC = _root.attachMovie("slash","slash01",99);
slash01._visible = false;
slashMC._y = btn._y;
slashMC._x = btn._x;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.attachSound("Gravy");
s.start(1,999);
btn.onPress = function(){
if(sound==1){
s.stop();
slash01._visible = true;
sound = 0;
else if(sound==0){
sound = 1;
slash01._visible = false;
s.start(1,999);
Thanks

Try this:
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.media.*;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
        var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
        var snd:Sound = new Sound();
        var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
        var pos:Number = 0;
        var soundVolume:Number = 1;
            snd.load(new URLRequest("something.mp3"));
            btn_Stop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopMusic);
            btn_Stop.buttonMode = true;
            btn_Play.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMusic);
            btn_Play.buttonMode = true;
         function stopMusic(evt:Event):void
            channel.stop();
            pos = 0;
            isPlaying = false;

NB205 Win 7 - Speaker Mute and Unmute

Hi everyone, thanks for this thread -- indeed, very helpful.
I have a different issue under Windows 7 -- I can never reliably mute or unmute the NB205. Even if I click the mute icon (after clicking the volume icon in the taskbar), sound still plays through the speaker. The speaker icon in the taskbar is also stuck on 'mute.'
Of course, I could just reduce and raise the volume as needed, but the permanent mute icon on the taskbar drives me nuts.
I'm hoping that a driver re-install fixes this. I had a feeling that it's my Windows installation, but I have another machine with the same version of windows that does not reproduce the issue.
Do any NB205/Win7 users have this problem? If not, can any Win7 users mute and unmute the netbook a few times to try and reproduce it? Thanks again!
[Admin - split from another thread, edited title]
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi, this is the closest thread that i found to my problem, i recently got a virus on my nb205 and i got it removed but the problem is that now there is absolutely no sound at all.. even when i start it up theres no little start up tone i cant even listen to my music ..... i checked all the sound things, nothings on mute and... is there anything that i could download or do that could bring the sound back?

you're using an flvplayback component? if yes, open the flash helpfiles and check the section on the flvplayback class.

Audio from video clip and layering

ok, I need help! I finally figured out how to take audio from a video clip and place it over pictures or layer it over other audio. Now, I want to start with a video clip, it happens to be an interview, cut away to some pictures or other muted video, and come back to the interview, all with the audio playing the whole time and lined up correctly....how do i do this? THANKS!!

Thanks David
I found this here http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#tutorial=extendaudio
To extend audio across multiple clips:
1. In the Project area, select the clip that contains the audio you’d like to extend into a second clip. Select the last few seconds of the first clip that contain the audio you want.
2. To split the first clip, choose Edit > Split Clip.
3. Control-click the selected clip and choose “Reveal in Event Browser.”
4. In the Event browser, Command-Shift-drag the clip to extract the audio and place it at the start of the next clip.
5. Delete the video portion of the clip you split in step 2.
Because you’ve extracted the audio from exactly the part of the clip you split, the audio seamlessly plays across the next shot
I am going to try this tonight and see how easy it is

PS4 including Party audio in video clips

I am wondering if anyone has the same issue as me and my friends where when you are recording video clips and everyone has their voices shared and party audio is include in the clip only my voice (or their voices on their end) are being included in the clip, if you know how to get this working the help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Audio from video clips not playing

this is weird, the audio associated with my video clips plays in the viewer, all the audio wave are present, but they are not all playing with the time line. one clips audio starts playing then cuts out. All my other tracks (music) are playing good. I have tried selecting and deselecting, and mute, also tried restarting, rendering and unrendering, and everything else mentioned in other similar cases with no luck. I am running a system with an inadequate graphics card, but this is audio right, simple right?

If your audio is 32 bit, then it's not 16 bit.
You audio will need to match your sequence settings. You are likely looking for audio to be 48Khz/16bit
Take the offending piece of audio and export it with the appropriate settings to match your sequence.
1 Select your sequence, then choose Sequence > Settings.
2 Check the sample rate of the sequence in the Audio Settings area of the General tab,
then click OK.
3 Select the offending audio clip in the Browser that you want to convert to a new sample rate.
4 Choose File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion.
5 Choose AIFF from the Format pop-up menu.
6 Click Options.
7 In the Sound section of the Movie Settings dialog, click Settings.
8 In the Rate pop-up menu, choose the sample rate of your sequence, then click OK.
Make sure the size is kept at 16-bit.
9 Click OK.
10 Choose a new name and location for the new file, then click Save.
Once the conversion is complete, you need to import the new media file into
Final Cut Pro.
11 Import the newly converted audio media file, and use that as the audio portion of your clip.

Merge audio to video clips, end of clip loses audio

This is driving me nuts. After merging audio and video clips, sync to slate using the in points, everything is in sync.
The audio is longer than the video itself. But WAY before the scene ends, the audio mutes. The waveforms are visable but no audio plays. It drop out. It happens to every merged clip I create. I don't use the out points either.
Anyone else have this issue??
If I take an alternate method to sync them in the timeline and create a clip from there, it makes a new sequence clip losing the scene and take metadata. That's not good. Is there a workaround?

It happens on every project and different formats. I do use FCP Rescue and that doesn't solve it. I did figure out a work around which involves a few more steps and is more time consuming. Maybe this can help find the problem. Here is the ridiculous workaround steps. We should send this to Apple.
The "--" are the extra steps.
To get a good merged subclip.
Open the audio file and add the 'in point' to the slate.
--Drag audio clip to the timeline.
--Drag the audio clip from the timeline to the browser window.
Merge with video.
Viola. Audio won't drop out. But the waveforms are completely off with the sound.
Next step is to open the merged clips and Make Subclip so you don't have that extra media in the beginning and end. And the waveform seem normal.
