Replacing Audio in iMovie

I want to be able to replace audio from one quicktime clip and have it play over the footage on another clip.
I thought it was as simple as copy and paste, which did not work. I had thought lowering the volume on the video footage clip I didn't want would work, but I do not want to play the clips in order.
I want audio from the first clip to take the place of audio in the second clip when the second clip is playing first.
My description is poor, but I hope it is sufficient to explain my problem.

I thought it was as simple as copy and paste, which did not work. I had thought lowering the volume on the video footage clip I didn't want would work, but I do not want to play the clips in order.
iMovie '08 uses the "Command-Shift-Drag" key combination to pin the audio from one Event clip to any clip in the Project window. Once added, you can then adjust the audio levels as desired.

    audio output will not work on external speakers.  Internal speakers will work.  What do i do to replace audio output slot

    Right click your volume icon in the notification area and select "volume control options". From there, you should be able to select the external speakers.
    I hope that helps!

  • How to delete the transparent frames that Pluraleyes adds to replaced audio clips in an event ?

    Hi there,
    I have a workflow issue working with Pluraleyes 3 and FCPX.
    MY CONTEXT
    So I imported all my clips into FCPX (about 300 from camera 1, about 300 from camera 2 and separate audio which ran almost with only very few interruptions on set).
    I synced everything with PE which gives me back the following :
    1. a new Event with replaced audio clips.
    2. a new Event with one giant multicam clip.
    3. a new project completely synced BUT with the non-replaced audio clips
    MY PROBLEMS
    1. Problem is that the clips have additional transparent frames before and after their actual video (i.e. PE makes new clips from video and longer bits of audio that do not begin/end at the same time).
    2. The giant multicam clip has plenty of chunks where audio was recorded but where no video was.
    MY QUESTIONS
    PE has created plenty of useless clip lengths. How can I get rid of them with some batch process ?
    OR if I say that another way
    How can I create an EVENT that contains clips with the exact same length as the originals, only with the corresponding audio replaced ? (Please remind that I have LOTS of clips)
    Moreover, the clips within the new events created by PE have (not surprisingly) lost all keywords I gave to the clips before syncing with PE. Is there any way to fix this ?
    Thank you so much because it feels like PE's job is kinda useless  :-/

    It's the Shift key. It's not a button. It's shifts from lower case to upper case when typing. It's been called the Shift key since the 19th century.

  • How to replace audio on a music video with final cut pro x

    How do I replace low quality audio on a music video to a higher better quality audio with final cut pro x?
    I have the new audio on cd which I can rip and replace the original audio.
    Some audio and music videos are not of same length, In cases like this how do I sync video to the newly replaced audio?
    Is there any tutorial, link or where to look for this in the manual?
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Providing you don't need the video synced or cut to a beat, all you need to do is place your music in the primary storyline
    Connect your video above.
    While your video is connected, hit CMD+R on your keyboard and stretch the video to the length of the music
    If you were to cut the video to a beat, simply add markers on your music track, then connect and trim clips to your markers.

  • Is it possible to Replace audio in a video without re-importing and re-exporting ?

    Hi..
    i have exported a video of 2 hours length..  Then i just feel i need to replace the audio with another audio file which has small tweaks in it..  Can i replace the audio in the video i exported without having to reimport the video into fcpx and re-exporting ??
    can i do this ? is there a way to replace audio ? any external apps available ?
    Do let me know.. Thank you !
    Regards,
    Arun Kanth

    If you're set against reimporting/exporting: Quick Time Pro should accomplish what you're trying to do. It's a $29 license, but is much more useful than QTX and is a tool worth having if you don't already/

  • TS2289 Audio in iMovie 11 files but missing in sections when shared to iDVD. The movie and audio plays fine in iMovie but my burned iDVD  movie is missing some audio .

    I imported a movie into iMovie 11 from a Canon Vixia HFR 300 SD card with no problem. I have a new iMac running OsX 18.8.4 I think. I added chapter markers and shared it with iDVD. And burned it to a DVD.  Towards the end of this 30 minute movie the sound just stops. I do remember some screen came up when I wanted to burn DVD that said something was wrong with files but I couldn't figure what do to fix it and allowed me to continue. Any ideas?

    Hi
    Either the problem is in iMovie or in iDVD
    two notes
    No Audio in iMovie
    Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.
    Work around -
    • Select needed audio to one new playlist
    • Copy out this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
    • Use this in the movie-project
    Other origins are
    1. strange / alient file formats as -
    • .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc
    • Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this
    2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -
    • Close iMovie and other programs
    • Start GarageBand
    • Make a new GB-project and play some notes
    • Close GB and Save
    • Now try iMovie again
    3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.
    a. in iMovie pref. - deselect ” Playback via Camera”
    b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this
    without me knowing why.
    4. iMovie’08 & 09 & 11
    • Toggle audio-scimming by cmd-K
    Stuttering audio and video
    1. FileVault is ON - Turn it off
    2. More than 50 audio files in a movie-project
    Mix down to one audio clip
    3. Project is stored on one (USB) external hard disk - should be a FireWire one
    4. the External hard disk is not Mac OS Extended formatted - but
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange and this will not work for Video.
    5. To little free space on internal boot hard disk.
    I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space when project is imported and edited and this goes for
    4x3 SD Video. For 16x9 HD my guess would be about 5 times more at least.
    Neither Mac OS, iMovie or iDVD can address any other hard disk than the boot drive for it’s
    scratch files. (Unlike Final Cut Express/Pro where You select scratch disk/s)
    6. Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin.
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    Minuscular - - 176x144
    Mobile - - - - - 480x360
    Medium - - - - 640x480
    Large - - - - - - 720x540    960x540
    HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
    6. Ed Hanna
    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
      •OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

  • Replace audio in multiple video clips at one time

    Hello. I am new to the forum so I apologize if I break any of the rules!
    I have a collection of tutorial videos, all edited but the audio had some balance issues. The files were not in Premiere Pro at the time. They are the final edited videos but then I was told the audio needed to be adjusted. 
    I have re-balanced the audio, saved the audio as wav files and now I need to replace the old audio (in the finished video file) with the new audio (the wav files I edited and saved). The timing is all the same. It's just a matter of replacing the current file.
    Is this doable as a batch process? Is it doable in Premiere Pro or do I need to use Audition or some other Adobe software?
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thank you in advance!

  • Replacing audio in QT movie doesn't change overall size of movie?

    H-264 movie made for web distribution. My best video compressor only creates AIF audio files ... which are mighty big.
    I made an MP3 audio file in Logic.
    I replaced the original AIF audio in the Quicktime movie with the MP3 audio ... (which is 23 megs smaller) but 'info' says the QT movie is still the same size.
    How can I replace audio track in QT movie (with a smaller size audio track ... and see the difference registered in the QT movie 'info'?
    All ears,
    Ben

    Open your audio/video QuickTime file and then open the the Movie Properties window.
    Highlight (single click) on the "Video" track and "Extract" (upper left of that window) to make a new video only version.
    Open your audio QuickTime file, select all (Command-A) and copy (Command-C). This stores your audio track on the Clipboard.
    Switch back to your "extracted" video track, select all (Command-A) and choose "Add to Selection & Scale" (Edit menu).
    Test this file and then "Save As" to make a self contained QuickTime .mov file from these parts.

    I've never used muxers under Linux, but you can try mpegdemux.
    Take a look at Elecard Xmuxer Pro, for example – but that costs $$$. Look here and you may find a good, free Windows-based tool.

  • How to add audio to iMovie on the iphone?

    The speak recorder on the iphone is ok to record audio. But how do I get those recordings into imovie on iphone? Its the latest imovie (2.0?) on iOS7 on iphone 5.
    Thanks for any help
    Erland

    Thanks for looking into this. I am probably unclear here...
    What I hope to do is to get audio recording fra the that speach recorder app that comes with iOS. The recordings can only be exported through mail, messages and dropped with Airdrop.
    Hmm maybe with itunes in some way.
    I would like to use speach recorder and then import that audio into imovie, not the audio effects that are with imovie.

  • How to i trim audio in imovie 11

    I just separated audio from an imovie clip, and now need to slice the audio in various places and and place back into the video. HOW DO I TRIM AUDIO in imovie 11. The old imovie was easy, I can't seem to find out how. Thanks.

    There are several ways to do this. 
    First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    The simplest way would be to select the frames of video in the Event that contain your audio and drag to the project. Drop it on the approximate frame (in the project) where you want it to start. A pop-up menu will appear: choose Audio Only.

  • No USB Audio In Imovie

    I have been trying to use my Logitech USB headset for recording audio in iMovie for over two days now,
    I change the settings in System prefs and also in imovie but i can only record audio through the internal mic on my 24'' imac. Is anyone else running across this problem?

    I do not have the "Audio Only" option when I try to Export the file. In Options, the only format I have is Linear PCM. The options I have for Export are Sound to Wave, Sound to AU, Sound to AIFF. None of them imported.
    As mentioned, the "Audio Only" option is in QuickTime X (there are only 2 options: movie or audio). I'm not sure what version of Mac OS you are using, but QT X is part of the OS. QuckTime 7 provides a range of audio options, as you indicated. It's surprising that an export in the AIFF format didn't import to iMovie.
    Sorry to hear you are not having any success. I'm a little vague on this, but some time ago I recall having a problem with voiceovers not playing. What I think worked was to click on the Project Library, then click on another project and wait until it loaded in the Viewer (no need to actuaaly open it by double-clicking). Then re-open your current project. If my memory serves me correctly, the voiceover then played properly in the timeline. Give this a try!
    I noticed another thread where the poster is having a similar problem to yours. I'll post a link in that thread to this thread. Hopefully something here may help that user.
