Removing audio... wrong approach?

I'm attempting to create DVDs of old family video tapes, and sprucing them up in the process. I've digitized the VHS tapes just fine into iMovie HD 6 as DV, but along with it came the empty audio track. This means my movie has a faint hiss as its only sound, which I'd like to remove and replace with music.
So I tried using Extract Audio to break out the sound tracks on the movie, with a goal of deleting them once they were broken out. But it seems to take an excruciatingly long time, even on my fast Mac Book Pro, to Extract Audio. A 10 second clip takes about 10 minutes, approximately. At this rate, it will take all day to just extract the audio from my hour-long movie.
Am I doing the wrong thing? Is there a better way to remove the built-in hiss and replace it with my music tracks?
Thanks in advance!

In the timeline view (not the clip view), select all of your clips. At the bottom, you will see a volume symbol and a dialog box reading 100%. Enter 0 in that field and hit enter/return. All of your clips should now be muted and any music you add will be heard clearly.

    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

  • Removing Audio From Video (Problem 2) !!!HELP!!!

    I have succesfully managed to remove audio and add new audio to an (avi) video. However, when I tried to do the same thing with an new (mpeg) video/ soundtrack. Logic did not allow me to extract audio from video or give me the option to de-select audio tracks when bouncing. So when I extract video with audio I get the old audio track plus the new audio combined. Is it do with the video format? can I convert video formats in logic? many thanks, Ben.

    open in quicktime, then click save as and save as a .mov file. This should work. Not sure why this is happening though. Let me know if this works...
    Please remember the helpful and solved problem....

    Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents.

  • How to remove audio?

    i have some clips/thumbnails that i don't want to have the ambient sound in it. how do i remove audio from selected sections?

    i mean how do i use just the audio and not the video?
    If you mean "extract" the audio and add it to the project, simply select the audio segment needed in the "Events" window, press "Command-Shift" and drag the clip segment to the project window. (A "plus" should indicate the dragged content can be added to the project.) Drag to start point -- e.g., the start of another video clip and release it. A green audio track will appear under the video which you can now slide/adjust length for use.

  • Removing audio tracks

    anyone know how to remove audio tracks when converting to apple tv format in visualhub (or ffmpeg)? i have two tracks in the input file, and would like to remove the first one.

    Try Handbrake instead - let's you select audio tarcks for conversion, and likely to be more up to date than VisualHub.

  • Chapter markers lost after removing audio track

    I have a QT movie (of old home novies with no REAL audio) prepared for the AppleTV that was working fine with chapters. When I removed the audio track and saved the file there are no longer any chapters. When I view the 'properties' of the file I see 'something' above the video track that has the name of the file bit can not be enabled. Is there a way for me to get back the chapters or did I mess up? Thanks.

    Sorry,
    I was looking at the wrong line in the script. I am checking SPRM 7 for the Current segment of the title (Chapter Marker).
    Also I got lost in the nomenclature in your second paragraph. It looks really helpful but I didn't understand what you meant ("Non-sequential PGCs..."). How should I get the dvd to move from track 1 to track 2 and back if I don't set the Next Jump (aside from scripting it)?
    Also, where could I find the DVD Spec rules you've alluded to?
    Thanks
    Here is the script thats being run:
    01: mov GPRM 6, SPRM 7
    02: mov GRPM 7, SPRM 4
    03: sub GPRM 7, 1
    04: mul GRPM 7, 128
    05: add GRPM 7, 49280
    06: add GPRM 7, GPRM 6
    07: mov GPRM 6, SPRM 8
    08: Goto 13 if (GPRM 6 = 2048)
    09: sub GPRM 7, 1
    10: sub GPRM 7, 1 if (GPRM 7 = 49285)
    11: sub GPRM 7, 1 if (GPRM 7 = 49439)
    12: Jump Indirect GPRM 7
    13: mov GPRM 7, 49408 if (GPRM 7 = 49313)
    14: Jump Indirect GPRM 7
    It calculates the valud of the current Chapter in terms of the current track, determines whether the user wanted to repeat the chapter or continue to the next chapter, tests a few special repeat/continue points (jumping back multiple chapters or continuing to the next track) and the jumps to the calculated location.
    I realize that I could rewrite this and using a few prescripts and the other scripts in the project so that I don't have to calculate based of SPRM 7 but I'd rather not if it isn't necessary. It seems like the dvd player (stand alone) simply doesn't read the chapter markers. It always repeats to chapter 1 and continues to chapter 2 no matter what.

  • How do I remove audio special effects, to go back to the original audio?

    I added some audioFX (from imovie library) to my clip. The chipmunk voice fx. But, I want to remove portions of it. The Help menu tells me to select the portions I want and press delete. When i do that, I lose all my audio. How do I just select the FX and delete that.
    I tried doing a search but couldn't find this specific answer.
    Thanks

    Was the Help reference you found specifically for audio FX, or was it for editing video clips? It sounds like it might have been for video clips. Although iMovie lets us select frames of a video clip in the monitor and remove them, there's no such command for editing audio. We can't use the monitor to remove the MIDDLE of an audio clip, for example.
    That doesn't mean you can't accomplish your goal, however. iMovie lets us do direct trimming of an audio clip, just like it does a video clip. It lets us shorten the audio from either end.
    We can't use direct trimming on the MIDDLE of an audio clip, of course, unless we first split the audio clip. Then we can use direct trimming to control playback of BOTH resultant clips. That lets us control the middle too.
    So as Matthew suggested, we can control the volume of portions of an audio clip, or split the audio clip and use direct trimming to control which sections to play.
    Note: if you're fiddling with the audio volume, be sure to UNcheck the menu command View > Show Clip Volume Levels. Until you do, you can't do direct trimming of the audio clip.

  • Remove audio files

    even after i delete my iTunes folder i still have 13GB of audio files on my macbook air - why, and how can i get rid of the files?

    If you sync by playlists, then remove the song from the playlist in itunes, then sync. The song will be removed from the ipod.
    However, if you have genres, artists, etc checked, then you would have to remove that genre, artist,etc from the song info.
    If you sync by checked song, then uncheck the song and sync.

  • Remove audio from imported video

    Hi guys!
    Tried to search for this feature, but did not find anything on it.
    Is it possible to remove the audio from an imported video clip (FLV) in Captivate 5.5? I want to replace it with another recording.
    Thanks,
    Victor

    Hi,
    This is not possible inside Captivate tool. But you can achieve the same using 'Adobe Media Encoder' tool (AME) which gets installed as a part of Captivate installation.
    1. Launch AME and insert the FLV file
    2. Go to output format settings and look for "Export options"
    3. uncheck the "Audio" option
    4. Start the encoding process to get a newly encoded FLV file.
    You can use this in your Captivate projects and then add a new audio file as per your needs.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Mukul

  • IDVD Slideshow no audio / wrong slide show

    Greeting, I have significant trouble with a iDVD project I have been working on. The main problem involves the slide shows. Don't be mistaken this is a large iDVD project, not much video input but 10 ish menus and 4 slide shows. I have experienced several problems with the slide shows. Previously one of the slide shows was duplicated in place of another slide show on a different menu. I was able to correct this by changing the order of some of the photos and re encoding the DVD. Currently Two of the slide shows have lost their audio content and several of the slides. I know that the missing audio on one of the slide shows is not caused by the format of the audio file as it is used on all but one of the menus.
    I am going to try to re encode it yet again (probably the 6 or 7th time, iDVD tends to crash silently every third time) to see if it will encode correctly this time.
    Any other suggestions about this?
    Thanks!

    However for one of the slide shows I did select the photos from iPhoto originally.
    I wonder if that is affecting the performance...?
    Here's an example of one of my slideshow projects that works fine. No iPhoto:
    Ireland 2006
    iDVD 6 Pass Through widescreen theme
    696 images that are 2816x1584 pixels shot with Canon SD700 IS
    15 640x480 movies from same digital camera transcoded to H.264 with QuickTime Pro.
    Part 1 and Part 2 submenu buttons on main menu. All submenus are the Chapters option for this theme.
    Part 1 leads to a submenu. That submenu has additional submenus and sub-submenus. Part 1 leads to 12 total submenus. These menus contain images and movies.
    Part 2 leads to a submenu. That submenu has 5 submenus with only images.
    I had to "remove" animation on all the sub-submenus and not include any music to get everything on a single-layer DVD-R. The Menu info was WAY over the 7:30; something like 14:00 after these adjustments. About 20 slideshows with music. Additional short slideshows with no music.
    Started the rendering/encoding process at exactly 1:00:00 p.m.
    Finished the Menu video rendering/encoding process at 3:53:30.
    Finished the slides and transitions process at 5:37:30.
    Process movies start 5:37:30, finished 6:27:45.
    Burn process start 6:27:45.
    Retrieving ends 6:28:30
    Writing lead-in starts 6:28:30. Finished 6:31:55.
    Writing... finished 6:33:50.

  • Looking for information about AS3 sound classes in "audio" wrong places?

    I'm looking for in depth information about ActionScript 3.0 sound classes. No matter where I search I continually encounter the same sort of kindergarten level descriptions, which never teach more than what we can readily glean from Adobe's documentation. Someone must know where there a discussion that really gets to the heart of the matter.
    I've read Adobe's LiveDocs on the Sound, SoundChannel, SoundMixer, SoundTransform classes. Indeed, they provided me enough guidance to create my own streaming MP3 player, with volume, pan, my own custom mono mix, http request, a preloading animation, and peak meters ...
    Here's an example (in the last statement of the following code) where I understand the end effect, but I fail to comprehend what happens at the compiler level:
    var currentSoundSource:Sound = new Sound();
    currentSoundSource.load(new URLRequest("http://www.mySite.com/myRecording.mp3"));
    var audioChannel_01:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
    audioChannel_01 = currentSoundSource.play();
    Unfortunately the class definitions in LiveDocs are quite terse, and they're seemingly incomplete with respect to:
         •     advice on best practices
         •     a thorough coverage of class to class interactivity
         •     a description of exactly how audio streams/plays into channels
    ... and in certain cases it appears that Adobe's descriptions are not fully accurate.*
    Regarding best practices, at first blush I'm sure everyone ponders over the fact that SoundChannel and SoundMixer have a stop method while the Sound class does not.
    One assumes that this surprising design must bear some advantages. If so,  what are they? Where are the analog sound mixer analogies? What would be the disadvantage of a sound class with a stop method ...  particularly when they have their own play method?
    Where are the discussion of these concepts? (Even if Adobe hired the wrong guy to write its sound classes, there should be some follow through that thoroughly explains the existing situation.)
    Phrankie
    * Here's an instance where the docs appear to be partially in error. (Is "and play" mistakenly included in the following?)
    "The Sound class lets you lets you create a new Sound object [and] load and play an external MP3 file into that object."
    ... uh, mmmmmm ... we play an MP3 into a sound class object?
    Wouldn't it be more accurate to say the following:
    A soundChannel can receive the audio data from a sound class object. We can play a sound object into an SoundChannel and manipulate it by altering the SoundChannel's soundTransform property, and we can stop it with the SoundChannel's stop method.

  • Is there an easy way to remove audio track from .mp4

    Guys
    Wondered if anybody knows of a way to take a .mp4 file with a silent audio track exported and remove that audio track altogether without having to reconvert the video in AME- just deleting the (silent) audio track
    Have lots of files that need this and was looking for a way to do this without going back and reexporting  all the clips the hard way
    Any thoughts much appreciated-- (I have access to both Windows 7 and WIndows XP pro 64 bit)
    Thanks
    Tony

    Thanks Jim
    I figured that would work but for some reason the resulting files did not play correctly--Alternatively I used Mpegstreamclip -opened the video I wanted to erase audio track from--- clicked on "edit--delete audio track" then clicked "save as" and this finally accomplished what I was trying to do--Now have a copy of the .mp4 file wo audio
    Thanks for all your help--Hope this thread helps someone in the future
    Peace
