Photobooth clip audio editing

Hi,
I recorded a clip using Photobooth (about 40 seconds long) and I have been trying to remove the audio using other apps (Final Cut Pro and iMovie), but I can't seem to isolate the audio from the visuals in order to delete it or even replace it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Multi-clip audio editing?

Hi all,
I'm sure this is a very easy fix, but I can't figure out anything from the manual. I shoot a lot of school sports and now that I'm doing basketball indoors, the audio is generally too hot. Because I stop and start recording during time-outs or other extended periods of "no play", I get a lot of clips. When I import them, I need to tame down the volume, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to reduce the volume on all equally at the same time. So far, I've done the first clip, then selected all of the others and pasted special attributes to them. Is this really the most efficient way to go about this. It doesnt' seem very elegant, but I am a loss for a better solution.
Any thoughts?
cheers,
Jack

You can also select multiple clips and use the Audio pane in the Inspector to lower the volume on all of them at once:

No audio on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing

I was assisted yesterday by your technical support team to install the photoshop elements 12 & premiere elements 12 which I purchased e few minutes prior.
while trying to work with the premiere elements 12, I realised that I have no audio on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing.
How can I solve this audio setting problem?

Need to split long movie into many clips to edit video

I upgraded to iMovie 11 from iMovie HD 6...it was a long wait to get audio and video editing that was at least as good as HD 6. We had some 40 year old Super 8 movies digitized and used HD 6 to split them into clips so I could edit parts that were almost black, or some almost totally blown out. I realized that this could probably be done better with 11, so purchased it, but couldn't import the HD 6 clips. Was told I had to export the whole movie as a single clip, then import into 11 and break them apart again to edit.
While I was proficient in HD 6 enough to produce some good stuff, iMovie 11 is befuddling to me, which is a surprise since I do fine with the latest iPhoto, which uses similar terms and processes. I have ordered David Pogue's book; while waiting for it to arrive, my main question is: how do I split this 75 minute movie into multiple clips for editing purposes? Apparently splitting can only be done in the project library, and apparently 11 will only let you split into 2 or 3 clips???
Thanks for any help.

First, you may not need to spit the event clips at all. You can select short bits of the long event clip and drag it into your project as you wish.
Having said that, there are good reasons to split event clips. For example, the 75 minute movie may contain many logical events that you wish to split out by date. In this case, iMovie 11 can do it, but I would not recommend it. It is a slow process and is prone to error.
I would recomment that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared Five (google it).
To use MPEG Streamclip, drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then, FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME (or FILE/EXPORT TO DV if it is DV). Then repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
When finished splitting your long clip, import into iMovie by using FILE/IMPORT...MOVIE

Looking solution for clipped audio

I edited a total of 20 minutes video clips from Canon TX1 with three Macs. As I edited and played back finished project on 24" iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo 2 2GB memory and 1T HDD with 670 GB available, the movie clip audio disappeared at about 15 minutes. The back ground music audio stayed on. The same movie files, when edited with 11' MBA, 1.4 GHz Core 2 Duo 4GB memory and 128 FS, the movie clip audio disappeared at around 2 minutes. When the same movie files edited with 27" iMac Core i5 8GB memory and 840GB available HDD memory, with iMovie 9 did not lose any audio. The problem seems to be unique to iMovie 11. Am I only one experiencing this? Appreciate your suggestion.

More information. iMovie 9 in Core 2 Duo MBP with 4 GB memory and only 6 MB HDD memory left, plays the edited same video clips without any problem. Is there any way revert iMovie 11 to iMovie 9?

Advanced audio editing

I am trying to add a music clip to a video with effects and voice, but I want the voice to duck the music, but the music to duck the sound effects (explosions/etc), is there a way to do this?
Here's is a simplified breakdown of what I mean:
0-15 seconds I want the music to be at max volume, and the video audio to be 50% volume
15-30 seconds I want the music to be at 50% volume, and the video (this is where the voice comes in) to be at max volume.
30 seconds til 2:05 I want the music to be at max volume, and the video to be at 50%
2:05-2:15 Video back at max, audio at 50%
Is there a way to do this?

The Ducking feature will suppress every other track by the percentage you specify. For this reason, you don't want to Duck two clips at the same time.
It would be more straightforward for you to just adjust the volume levels rather than use the ducking.
As of iMovie 11, you can select a range within your audio clip and apply a volume (rather than apply the volume to the whole clip). So I would do it that way.
See the video at this link called "All new audio editing".

How can you do audio editing with fcpx

I want to know why was the audio in FCPX have such a big limitation of its audio editing, I want to leave the original clip sound but adding a music background and during the clip playback I want to rise and lower the volume in some portion of the clip I use to do that with FCP studio, but with FCPX you could only drag one point up or down and not a portion of the clip. Is there a work around on this or do I have to send these people from apple some feeback, on audio editing.

… I find this rather klunky - the keyframes are never in the right place for me using the Range Tool.
funny - I find your method more than complicated: switching to the range tool is a single click operation, and then just dragging - done.
precision is accomplished a) by magnification, b) by setting in/out traditionally with I and O, c) shifting the 'rough selection' manually, or, at last d) first setting Markers and snap the Range Tool to it.

Record Audio Editing Software

Hello,
I'm trying to capture a demonstration of audio editing
software, which while in use, plays back audio clips as you play
different segments of a sound clip. When I try recording a
demonstration, I can record my voice from my microphone, but I
cannot capture the audio generated by the audio software. Anyone
have any recommendations for how to capture the audio from the
editing software?
Thanks,

Seemingly Simple Audio Edits Driving Me Nuts

I have asked about this before, thought I had the proper answer, but alas it would seem not.
After joining audio (in most cases for music transitions) into Connected Storyline, I am often then unable to apply a Transition of perform a Roll Edit because it seems there is a space in there somewhere. I have tried the suggested remedy of Zooming in, using Position Tool to trim both sides of the edit, then deleting the space in between. It was explained the problem invovles sub frames which aren't always visible. Sometimes this works. It seems like there should be a quicker solution (it's especially cumbersome if your edit is otherwise well timed, and you have to re-tweak it once you pull the edges back,) but if it worked consistently I could live with it.
However, far too frequently, the process is not working, and I am redoing it over and over and over again until somehow it manages to take. I can end up spending 5 to 10 minutes on a simple audio edit, and needless to say, this is just unacceptable.
Can anyone tell me a reliable way to deal with this, or suggest what I might be doing wrong or something different I can try, because this is making me crazy. There has got to be an easier way. Any help appreciated.

dont think ive ever been able to get cross dissolves on audio to work. I now use FCPX as I would Logic or ProTools and I overlap audio clips and put manual fades on them. Actually its worth the extra work coz the joins are usually better. and you have ore control.

When I crossfade two clips, audio doesn't crossfade

I've got two clips crossfading in my iMovie '11 project. It's a 4 second crossfade set to Full. The audio of the second clip is fading in over the duration of the transition, but the audio from the first clip is just stopping when it reaches the start of the transition. It doesn't fade out. I get this both when I preview the timeline, and when I go into Precision Editor for the transition in question.
I'm sure the audio is crossfading correctly elsewhere in the project, but this also isn't the first time I've noticed the issue, I just chose to not use the crossfade in those other instances. I don't think it's a memory issue; the project's running at about half an hour now but my 2009 MBP isn't really struggling that I can tell.
Anyone else experienced this and know what might be causing it?

I think I found the issue. The first clip had some audio jiggery pokery in Precision Editor, with the clip preceding it. I deleted this problematic clip, replaced it, split it in two and re-did the audio editing on the start of the first section, leaving the second section untouched. Now the audio cross-fades into the second clip of my problematic transition.
So my conclusion is that the audio tweaks I'd made at the start of the clip were messing with the tail of the clip somehow. Don't know if that's me or a bug.

Audio Editing Questions In Final Cut Studio 2

Hi,
Thank you all again for being here!, I have some quick questions about working with audio in fcp 6.02, and Soundtrack. first of all I am wondering if its easier and quicker just to work in fcp with audio, or export to Sound Track Pro? I have a wedding I shot and I had my cam recording 2 different source of audio, one from a balcony, and the other on the floor with different sounds to them. What is the best method to get them to sound nearly the same? In Fcp apply a "Normalization Gain"? I am new to audio editing, and somewhat with FCS, in general. Also in the timeline how can I get all audio clips in sync with the same volume? I was amazed with Soundtrack Pro's ability to take out ambient back ground noise and inference any other trick to get rid on unwanted inferences? Your Idea and experience are invaluable!!!
Thank You All Again, Tim C.

The reason you may not have gotten replies to your "quick questions" is because there are no quick answers. It is certainly easiest to just do the audio in FCP rather than export to STP. If your needs are simple just stay with FCP. However, you mention specialized tasks that STP can do but FCP can't. I am grappling with these same issues. I am a Logic Pro user and it gets very confusing about what tool to use when.
My main message to you is that I just purchased the Apple Pro Training book FCP 6 Beyond the basics and there are 90 pages in two lessons devoted to exactly what you are interested in. I bought it just yesterday and it has already helped me in a number of areas.
Good luck.

IMovie Audio Editing help?!!!!?

hi,
im trying to edit in iMove, but whenever i add music in the timeline (theres is no video yet) it appears as a little square, that expands as i add video to show waveforms, i want it, when i drop it in, to be a long bar with the waveforms so i can manipulate- just like it appears in final cut pro (i would use FCP but i am very bad with the audio editing in that and i enjoy iMovies simplicity) !! help please on how to do this!!!!

Add the audio clip AFTER video clip is in Timeline. I don't believe you can add an audio clip in an empty Timeline. I could be wrong, I've never tried it.

Audio Editing Problem- Help!

I've been having problems with audio editing in iBooks Author.
I edit a track I'm using across a text, editing just the portion I want played, and it all works fine in the program, when I move it over to iPad for testing, it won't play the right part I've confirmed is working fine in the program itself, instead it seems to revert in every audio link to the last portion I put into a link.
Hope this makese sense.

I'm not sure your problem is exactly like mine, but it pertains to placing the audio in a widget in ITA (itunes author).
The issue to look out for is we took our video and audio clips into our layouts to publish and apple validator rejects the audio clip saying the "audio is outside of the widget." and creates an error code. It seems to accept the video fine, but the AAC clip has been run through QT, or iTunes or Compressor and we still get the same error code. I' thinking there's a bug. So ours runs fine on the ipad, but won't validate. Like I said, maybe not your same issue, but the audio in a widget is a little buggy unless I'm overlooking something. Let us know how you work your problem out.

Audio edit not working. Can't cross fade

Suddenly when I attempt to select the end of one audio track and the beginning of the other, it does not become high lighted as usual and I can't apply a cross fade.
I never had this problem before and it suddenly appeared. If I double click I get an option for a Trim Edit, but that is not what I want to do.
How can I simply click on the audio edit and apply the audio cross fade??
Thanks!!

In FCP, go to the menu Sequence > Render and make sure all the conditions are checked.
Do the same for Render All:

Missing audio edits in YouTube

I load iMovie 11 media file into GB for my audio editing. Works great and then I SHARE as a Quicktime .mov. Quicktime .mov now plays back as it should with ALL my audio edits. Then I upload this file by dragging and dropping the .mov file into YouTube (Yes, it's the correct file) and when played back on YouTube, only original unedited audio track is played back............
My analysis: There must be multiple tracks in the .mov IMHO and Quicktime knows which ones to playback but only the original track is read by YouTube. This may be BS on my part....... I don't think I am doing anything wrong but believe there is a bug running around somewhere.......
Anyone have any ideas how to correct this?
I have the latest iMovie 11 and Garageband and Quicktime running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
BTW, I got this idea for editing iMovie audio in Garageband and Garageband is all set up to do this, from David Pogue Missing Manual. Other then the YouTube problem, it works great. You have all these tracks to work with for sound effects, voice overs, music and panning with complete control.

FLATTEN FIXED IT!
When "SHARE" to Quicktime, you can use H.264 or Mpeg 4 but to FLATTEN the audio tracks, I used AAC and when uploaded to YT, it all was there!
Thanks to all who volunteered the FLATTEN idea! I had called Apple and they said it wasn't their problem as the QT .mov file played back okay while in Apple territory.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP!
