Need help with audio edit - how can I censor myself?

Hello, all. I have a problem that I don't know how to solve.
Let me say, first and foremost, how much I dislike iMovie '08. I miss '06 so much! It was so straightforward and easy to use. This new (well, now old) version is so blocky and simple that it's completely backwards; I straight-up don't know how to operate it. And I'm a film student! It's so embarrassing.
Here's the problem. I'm working on editing a vlog for release tomorrow, and I need to "bleep" a bad word I say. I have the censor beep, and I have it anchored over the clip I want to censor, but I can't find a way to actually mute the audio from the video, so that only the bleep plays. At this point, I'm bleeping, but you can still hear the bad word. Completely ineffectual.
I've tried everything in my extremely limited arsenal to solve this problem, but no dice. Help!

Drag the mouse to select the video frames that you want to mute. A yellow border should be around them.
Then, EDIT//SPLIT CLIP (or right-click/Split Clip).
On this split clip, open the Audio Inspector and set the volume to zero.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

Need help with audio editing

I have an mp3 file which I converted from flv (YouTube) using ffmpeg.
The quality of the flv was good but its volume was relatively low.
Even if I play the mp3 file at maximum volume, it's not as loud as I would like.
I've found that playing the mp3 file through Audacious using its graphic equalizer with some altered settings really helps immensely.
Is there any way I can re-record the mp3 at these enhanced equalizer levels as I would like to include the (enhanced) track in a playlist of 40+ songs and I don't want to fiddle with the equalizer just for this one song when it plays?

Easiest would probably be to use Audacity to modify it.

Quite! Never a good idea, even with really old software...

The program software should install fine (others report using it successfully) but the difficulty has always been registering it. To do this you need to find a program (that often people discard, unfortunately) called ce2kreg.exe and run that. That's where you enter your registration details, and how you get rid of all the noises that CE2000 will put all over your audio otherwise (unless you severely restrict the facilities you can use).
It used to be the case that if you'd lost the registration program but had the serial numbers, that Adobe would send you a copy of ce2kreg.exe, but somehow I doubt that they'd be willing to do this any more - it was a long time ago now, after all.

I need help with audio in my Premiere Pro edit

I recently recorded a gameplay with a song track in it. In the beginning of my video, i did a voiceover explaining what the video was going to be about. When im talking, i want to lower the song, then raise the volume when im done talking. How can i do this? If i need to be more specific let me know. Thanks!

OK, assuming that the gameplay audio with the song is on audio track one and the voiceover is on audio track two.
All you have to do is to keyframe track one to lower the volume while you are talking and raise it bak to normal when you finish speaking. It is pretty simple.

Need help with audio trimming...

So I'm working on a new project and was wondering if this was possible in iMovie08.
I have edited some video clips (not long, and now in my project area), and want to use different songs from my iTunes library instead of the iMovie sound effects. The movie is about 3 minutes long, but I wanted to use 3 different parts of different songs from iTunes to use as background music. I'm having trouble doing this, as it seems like I have to use the entire song throughout the full movie... How can I trim iTunes song and use it in iMovie08? I could'nt even trim the sound effects...
I also tried Garageband, but I have absolutely no knowledge in using Garageband... I know I'm wrong, but I couldn't even get any iTunes songs to open in Garageband for trimming...
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

In turn. pin each audio clip to the video clip and not the background. Set its in and pout points for the segment of audio you want and then slide the clip segment in the exact position/location you want it.
I also tried Garageband, but I have absolutely no knowledge in using Garageband... I know I'm wrong, but I couldn't even get any iTunes songs to open in Garageband for trimming...
With GarageBand, simply drag and drop each clip to the main window to add each as an individual track. Select the audio track you wish to work on and move the "playhead" to find the "in" or 'out" point you wish to set. When in position, select the "Split" option in the Edit menu to split the selected audio track. Remove the unwanted segments and slide the content you wish to keep to the position/location you want it to play in relation to the video track. Select and repeat this same process for each of your other audio tracks.

Need help with audio...

Hi,
I need some help with an audio issue...a deep, buzzing sound which is so dominant, i can barely hear the rest
the situation:
older VHS tape (about 10 years) - i know some of you just cringed the video quality isn't the greatest, but not the worst. the audio is terrible.
transferred with my canopus av300 to my mac (g4 d1.25) - no issues
using FCP 4.5
i tried the AUGraphicEQ and since it was so deep, i reduced the following to 0:
800
6300
8000
reducing anything else doesn't seem to work
i've also tried cleaning in soundsoap both before using the AUGraphicEQ and after. If i clean it with SSoap before AUGraphicEQ, it sounds far better than the original track, but a low buzz is still present. using the EQ again doesn't seem to do much.
the camerawork was done on a tripod about 30 yds back. no mikes were used either. just the camera capturing both a/v.
Any thoughts on anything else to try? Any other filters? I fear the buzz is just with the main sound and no chance of completely killing it.
I can email someone a small sample file for them to play with if you like.
i'm really at my wits end b/c i would like to ensure i give the client as best i can (the other option would be to send the tape to a colleague's audio expert, but the price is something my client doesn't want to pay
Cheers,
Keebler

Got SoundTrack Pro? It will perform miracles with getting rid of unwanted sound. It's a matter of isolalating a few frames of the sound where no one is talking, and then using a simple command to remove that sound by itself from the entire audio track.
There is a possibilty that the Hum remover in FCP 4.5 might help...

Need help with first applescript@Quicktime- can't figure out a few lines...

Ok guys I need help, here is what I want to happen. I want the script to just shorten a movie file. It should be so simple!!

set time range from 0 to (lengthofmovie-1)
save the movie as a new file
That is all I want done, I am ripping my hair out of my head trying to do this. Please help me!!
Here is my code so far:
with timeout of 86400 seconds
display dialog "Before beginning batch processing, make sure QuickTime Player is set to the desired export settings, and all videos to be processed are in a folder named ‘Input’ on the desktop." with icon note
tell application "Finder"
set the startup_disk to the name of the startup disk
end tell

end try
beep
end timeout

Hi plashd,
First, I must confess that I don't know much about QuickTime. Nevertheless, while trying to understand your problem, I discovered that the AppleScript dictionaries of QuickTime Player and QuickTime 7 were very different from one another, and was unable to use the “export” command of QuickTime Player. However, I finally was able, with the following script, to use AppleScript to shorten a QuickTime movie and save it under another name:
*set the_file to POSIX file "/Users/pierre/Desktop/MVI_0503.MOV"*
*set output_file to "/Users/pierre/Desktop/NewMVI0503.MOV"*
*tell application "QuickTime Player"*
activate
*open the_file*
*tell front document*
*trim from 1 to (duration - 5)*
*save in output_file with replacing*
*close without saving*
*end tell*
*end tell*
Hope it can help.

Now I've really done it. I need help with iPhoto as I can't get into it at all.

I sent a request earlier regarding my MacBook Pro. I was trying to set up both computers so that I could network, mainly wanted to send my photos from the iMac (running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '08). After some trials I got the two computers so that they appeared to be networked. I set system preferences so that PICTURES was what would be shared between the iMac and the MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto '11).
I had both computers set to recognize each other, the passwords worked, and I thought that was it until I was ready to move my photos from the iMac to the MacBook Pro. Before I knew what was going on, the MacBook got busy on its own and informed me that it was busy and that iPhotos had to do some updating because the photos (which I then assumed were the ones on the iMac) were too old as they were. It took some time, during which I noticed that when it got to the point of updating faces there were a couple of faces I didn't think I had seen in my MacBook photos. I let it finish what it was doing.
HERE IS MY PROBLEM: When it finally got finished I couldn't see any new photos on the MacBook, so I went to the iMac to see what had been done there. Big surprise! When I went to open iPhotos I got the message "The iPhone Library is locked, on a locked disc, or you do not have permission to make a change to it." No matter what I tried I couldn't get into it, so I don't know whether I have photos any more or not.
As luck would have it, my extended warranty for technical help expired in June 2011!

Locked disk issue:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Need help with audio transfer!

I'm having problems with audio in idvd. The problem is with clips that were pasted into an imovie project from a different imovie project. The idvd preview seemed fine, but when I burned my disk, the audio associated with the pasted clips was inaudible. The same problem occurred with clips that I had "shared" as a quicktime movie and then imported into idvd. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm a total amateur!
