Replacing part of video but keeping original audio

I have a clip whose audio I want to use but I need to replace the video--what is the best way to do this?
I deleted the video track so now I basically have a blank space to fill in. Do I just need to find another part of my shot that is the same duration & drop it in, or is there a better approach?

That will do the trick.
Switch Linking off and adjust the Track Destinations accordingly if you have trouble dropping in only the video.
FCE is non-destructive so your origianl captue stays in tact.

Integrating still photos over video but keeping existing audio

I am currently trying to make a video that includes still photos. I have the video clips i want in my final project, as well as the photos. I am having a problem keeping the existing audio playing while my still photos are shown. I want to make it so you see photos while I am talking about them in the video clip, but then allows it to return to the video in the same duration...let me know what you think.

In iMovie/Preferences, make sure that Advanced Options are turned on.
Drag your photo from the Photo Browser and drop it on top of the video clip at the frame where you want it to start. A contextual menu will pop up. Choose "Cutaway".

Hi, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

Hi, Excuse my English, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio over the fade to black, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

I assume you are trying to end the clip/project with a fade to black, or something that just doesn't cut so instant.
One thing i'm thinking you can try is to Add a "Transition Clip" to the end, and try your first method. (with Detached Audio + Delete Selection. (Yellow highlight was deleted selection) Do you need something to end like this?
If you can, put screenshot up (Shift+Comm+4), if i'm not on the right idea. It seems like an easy fix, with a few ways of doing it. You can also add a blank image to end project, sub titles or Add,Cutaway fade +Opacity adjust.

How can I cut a section of video, but leave the audio playing?

iMovie 6
Hi, I want to edit, or remove a small section of video, but leave the audio playing in the background. I want to just put up a picture in the same spot. But, I need the video's audio to keep playing. I videotaped someone speaking, but there is a section where there is a mistake, namely, the camera was moved. I need to keep the audio going, and figured I would just put a still image of text or picture in the section where the mistake is, that's why I need the audio to keep playing. It's too long of a section to just do a transition to cover the mistake. Can someone help me with this? I guess you could call what I want to do is cut to a still image while the audio keeps playing?
Thanks

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11?

I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

How do I duplicate a photo in iPhone 5 so I can edit the copy but keep original?

How do I duplicate a photo in iPhone 5 so I can edit the copy but keep original?
I see where it lets me click "Copy" but where in my library do I paste the copy?
Thanks!

This is rather interesting...
I could sweat that in iOS 6. When you click Save it gave you the option to keep a copy of original or just save the new picture in replace of the old.
Now what it does, it saves the "edit" in the file. But when you go to make another change, you can see the original picture still.
At least I did when I cropped it.

We are having problems with the forum software (I can't see any new thread), so you are very lucky if somebody reads your question. Personally, the forum are near unusable for me now.
Respecting to that question, you want to delete everything but leave Office. Is this correct? If so, you will have to contact with Microsoft to see if it's legal to sell your Mac with Office installed > http://www.microsoft.com/mac/support I would not sell the Mac with Office installed.
To delete everything, you will have to erase the drive and reinstall OS X. Normally, you should turn off the Mac after reinstalling OS X, but in this case, the new owner won't have Office. On the contrary, if you install Office, the owner will have to use the Mac with your settings, so there will be other steps to follow

How to connect jpeg to timeline clip replacing video but keeping audio

I put some video in the project timeline and now I would like to connect several still pictures (jpeg) at specific points in this video so that you hear the sound from the video but only see the still image.
Connecting my jpeg to the clip in the timeline is not a problem. Once connected, however, the still picture only covers a part of the video (i.e. only the center part of the video) during playback. The jpeg is superimposed on the center part of the video, but the sides of the video still show up as played.
What i would like is for the jpeg to completely superimpose the video in the clip, but be able to listen to the audio story told by the video in the background .
I tried resizing the jpeg to 16:9 aspect ration before importing it, but this made no difference. I have also considered doing the connecting in the other direction, i.e. to place the jpeg into the primary timeline and connect the audio part of the video to the jpeg. This might work, but I would rather not do this because it would require adjusting the size of many video clips.
I am a novice, so any help would be much appreciated.

Problem solved.
To a large extent the solution is illustrated here around minute 13:47 in this tutorial by Jerad Hill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F-Y6iMdtQg&feature=related
Here it is suggested that you double click in the picture and zoom in and out to get the picture adjusted to take up the whole screen. This you do by opening the inspector, on the video tab, and the transform tool. You use the scale slider to increase or decrease the scale of your photograph (or connected video clip) so that it fits the screen.
I will leave this discussion posted just in case it helps someone else.

Keep original audio but add in alternate clips in iMovie '11

I shot a video and wish to keep the original soundtrack while adding a couple of clips in the middle. I know I'll need to clip out some of the original video so that I retain the original length of the video to match the length of audio, but how do I do that? I've read about splitting video but not audio. Can I copy the original audio track and add it as an additional track and then edit the video portion?

Use the Cutaway feature for this.
First, go into iMovie/Preferences and make sure the advanced tools are enabled.
Drag the second clip from the event and drop it on the clip in the project at the video frame where you want it to start. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Cutaway.

How can I cut some video but keep audio running?

Hello
I once knew how to do this but forgot, and can't find it in any discussions or help files.
I have some shaky, crummy video but the audio in it is good.
I am editing the video, but I want to keep a running audio track from the original DV import.
"Paste over at playhead" is not the answer (unless I got it wrong).
I doubt this is the best way to do it but I am presently copying a clip; extracting the audio; placing that audio back into the timeline under the video; hacking up the video...and hoping the length is close to perfect. (Surely not the way to do it).
Tips? Thanks

David
You know, somehow your explanation made more sense than the iMovie Help file explanation. (Though it has some additional info that touches on what remains a bit of a problem for me).
In any case, thanks. I am using this technique right now. The difficulty that remains for me is how to deal with a short segment of video (to paste) over a 2 or 3 times longer segment of audio. The help info and my own experimentation show that the remaining space gets filled with black. Not very pretty or smooth.
Which leads me to my response to the other person who replied to my post...
*Glo H*
Yes. I am copying the clip so I can have needed video to fill the space as the audio plays. But I'm pretty sure this is not the smart, most efficient way.
(See David's reply).
I am continuing experimentation but am very much open to any other suggestions.
Thanks again.

Renaming, but keeping original file numbers problem

It appears that when I edit RAW files from lightroom in photoshop, upon saving it adds "edit" to the filename AFTER the original file number. Since what comes back from photoshop is a PSD file instead of a RAW file it's pretty obvious that I've edited the image, so the change just becomes an annoying addition to the file name -- that is, until I go to export the images in other formats.
When exporting, I tell Lightroom to rename my files, but keep the original file number. Since the original file number now has "edit" behind it on any of the psd files, Lightroom wipes out the file name and starts numbering them numerically.
This makes it difficult from an organizational standpoint, since I use the original file number as part of my database management.
Anybody know how to stop the "edit" intrusion in the filename, and if that will indeed fix the file numbering issue?
Thanks,
Drew

Thanks!
I'm curious though -- why does it seem like a bad practice from a DAM standpoint?
Quite often my files are saved as RAW, PSD's, Tiffs, and Jpegs -- the last two going to my clients. If they need something changed on the file sometime down the road, it's very easy to find my way back to the PSD or RAW file to make the fix if they share a file number.

How do I remove the video and keep the audio in iMovie?

How do I keep the audio and delete the video? I've seen several answers saying to go to "advanced" but I don't see where that is. I went to preferences and checked show advanced setings but I still can't figure it out. Please help! (: By the way I'm on a MAc computer.

Airplay mirroring between my MacBook Pro and Apple TV (1080p one) has always worked fine until now. I only sometimes get video but usually just audio. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly!

In multicam editing Im cutting a part and the audio is staying. The video part has been cut, but the original audio continues to play. I made several similar edits earlier and had no problems. Please help!! Thanks

Im using a multiclip as well. All volumes on cameras have been muted. The source of audio is pulling my hair out!! Thank you O Smart ones!

Absolutely nothing to do with top or bottom or whatever order they're set in the angle editor, though it's practical to set the audio at the bottom as you're not going to be cut, but it can be anywhere. In can bet in the middle if the stack. What is import is what is the active angle when you edit the clip into the timeline. You can change it afterwards, but it's easiest to do when you first make the edit into the timeline. In the angle viewer you set the active angle. That's what gets edited into the timeline as the first cut.
This is the angle viewer.
Cam 2 is the active angle. When it's edited into the timeline that's the video and audio that appears. In your case you would set bounce as the active angle. You can change the video in the timeline after you set the angle viewer to cut or switch video only. Then bounce remains as the audio.
