See full audio file in movie

Ok this is for people who know their way around iMovie '11 fairly well. I work with FInal Cut Pro X at school and when you insert an audio file (in most cases a song) it will display the whole song. That allows for you to have a certain part of the song at a certain part of a video. Like if theres a big "bang" in the song, you can have it at a certain part of the film. But on iMovie '11, the portion of the song displayed will only be as long the duration of the video. So if the video is 30 seconds long, it'll only display 30 seconds of audio. I want it so that if there's 30 seconds of video, I can still see the full song. Is there a setting? Because I have looked and looked. Hopefully theres someone out there that both understood my question and has an answer for me. Thanks

Good question. There is a way to do what you are talking about.
First, drag the song into an empty project.
Then open the Clip Trimmer by clicking the small gear icon in the music track.
Now, add your beat markers to the track by pressing M where you want to place a marker.
You can either add on beats, like the video below, or you could add beat markers at your big bang.
Here is a good Tutorial from Ken Stone on Markers. You can scroll down to the beat marker section.

Here is a sample of using beat markers for a slideshow, but video clips work much the same way.

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

IMovie '09 doesn't see any audio files or still photos.

I just migrated my G5 iMac to a new iMac. I now have iMovie HD '06 on the new iMac and it works just fine. The problem is iMovie '09 and iPhoto. Neither application can see the audio files to add background music, sound effects, etc. Also, iMovie can not see iPhoto photos. iMovie can see the iPhoto videos. I can add movie clips to iMovie, so that seems to work.

You could have a bad install. There's a thread/threads around here talking about the viewer being all white due to a bad install of the program or a corrupt user. I've also heard it manifest with a black screen instead of white.
Quickest thing to check. Create a new user account. Log in there, and open Motion. If Motion opens fine, then you have a problem with your normal user account.

My video's have codec but premiere pro see only audio file

Hi,
My Ematic EVH528 camera capture 1080p videos and I watch my pc with xvid codec. But premiere pro see only audio file.
I need a solution. Help me please.

Read Tweakers Page - Video Codecs and then convert to an editable format.

Why can't I see my audio files in iWeb?

When I open iWeb/iPhoto/Keynote etc I can't see Audio files to add them in. I can access photos and movies but not audio files. I can't even access Garageband files! Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is and how I can fix it???

Is it possible that you have Garageband and/or iTunes in a sub folder rather than in the main applications folder where they need to be so that they are available in the Media Browser and can be found by Software Update?

Audio files from movies

Folks
I have a full movie I wanted to edit the audio in. Movie is 1'30'' long. When I do the extract in Logic I get an audio file that plays the entire audio, but it is 1 tick long and pointer indicates a file w/o lenght. I am unable to edit this. I tried extract audio from movie and extract to arrange. Both give me the same file lenght. File is an MP4 file. Is there a way to edit the audio? This is my 1st video attempt.
Thanks

Thanks Rohan. I will try that this evening. I did buy QT pro, but apple has failed to send # Been going round and round with them for last 3 days on the number. I will post my results tonight after I put upi my christmas light that my wife just told me I am doing .

Audio Commentary aka alternate audio file for movie.. How?

Hi folks,
I love this discussion group btw... awesome...
So, I've got my feature film done, we did a 1 week run at the theatre now, we are almost ready for our DVD release but want to do one of those really cool Director Actor commentary / alternate audio files for the movie. Is this done in FCE or iDVD? and any tips?
Best Regards,
Mark

... I think there is a workaround with FCE + iDVD.
You could duplicate the original sequence in FCE, then add your alternate audio to the timeline of the new sequence. (Record your commentary and add as a 2d audio track (say, a3/a4)). Raise & drop the audio levels appropriately across the length of your regular and alternate audio tracks. Export the resulting video to QT Movie and import it into iDVD along with your original Movie.
You will now have 2 versions of your Movie & can put them both in a single iDVD project (of course, subject to the limitations of the total length you can put on a DVD (~2 hours for a single layer DVD, ~4 hours on a dual-layer DVD.) Or just put them on separate DVDs if your Movie is too long to fit both on a single disc.

5.1 audio files and movies no sound!!!

I did a test already. The 5.1 audio still play through ATV 1 but do not play on ATV 2. anyone else have these problems. These are 5.1 Dts audio files. They have always worked on the ATV 1. Also, certain movies that have Dolby digital have no sound on ATV 2 but they play fine on ATV 1. I have turned the audio setting on ATV 2 to Dolby digital "on" it's not set to auto. Anyone have any fixes?

Well on my yamaha receiver it says DTS when playing these audio files. I know it's not officially supported but DTS does work...these are 5.1 audio DVD files I believe. I got them from a friend. But anyway they still work on old apple tv but not new one. I have no idea why that is. They must have changed something in that little black box. Thanks for the response hope we can figure this out....

Problems with Firefox 13. Can't see online audio file player. Video only works on some sites. All works OK in I.E. Updated Flash. No Change

Problems began when Firefox 13 automatically updated. tried downloading latest version of Flash 11.2.202.235. No change.
Video works sometimes on YouTube, not at all on most other sites.
Audio player not working at all. Either not even visible or downloads to real player versus playing within application such as Amazon.
Tried enabling/disabling Add ons to find culprit. No luck.
Everything as it should be in Internet Explorer.
On my WordPress site has MP3 audio files, and uses a flashplayer to display and play music files. With flash player on, nothing displays at all, (bank space where audio player would normally be displayed)
If I disable shock wave flash, a text link is displayed that downloads the MP3 in a new window (quick player), Also video doesn't work on any website. If I disable Flash and quicktime, text link to audio file downloads to realplayer.

hello msandman, there have been quite a few issues with adobe's latest flash update - can you try if flash content is showing up correctly again, when you disable the real-player components like mentioned in the following article: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]?
otherwise you could also try to remove flash 11.3 from the windows control panel/programs section & [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 downgrade to the 10.3 branch of the plugin], which is still receiving security updates.

Importing .wpl audio files for slide show in Elements 4.0

Once again I have to prevail on my fellow Photoshop users' expertise. Help! I am trying to import music files from a playlist in Media Player (Microsoft Home XP) into a slide show in Photoshop 4.0. I get error message "Cannot open file because it is the wrong type of file." (The files turns out to have .wpl extension. Have tried to move the files from Media Player first to "My Documents," then open them in Organizer or Editor, but get the same error message. (Have moved similar files successfully into SONY Vegas video editor all along.) Is there any way to convert the audio files to the format suitable for Photoshop (.wav or .wma)?

I think that sunny_afternoons.mp3 is one of the MP3s that comes with Photoshop Elements. In order to see that audio file within the PSE Organizer, you may need to change the View menu settings for media so you see the Audio files. (You can temporarily set it to display only Audio files to make them easier to locate. However, it is important that you then set it back to your normal options to display Photos etc - otherwise next time you use PSE you will wonder - What Happened to my photos?)
Once you find that mp3 file, right click on it in the Organizer and see if the Organizer can play it. If the Organizer can't play it then generally the slide show can not either. However, playing in the Organizer does help analyze problems but it is not a guarantee that the slide show will be OK. You might also check what is the default player software on your system for mp3's.
Other than that - I don't think I have any additional ideas. Since you are attempting to run in an environment for which Adobe offered no support and no statement that it would work, you might just have to try to debug your system on your own.

Something to play Real Audio files? (.ra)

I sometimes see Real Audio files on websites, on Windows, they have RealPlayer that will play them. Is there a similar app on linux/Arch. I'm mostly interested in Audio (*.ra), though I am also curious about the video files (*.ram).
I'm hoping to find a plug-in for mozilla-firefox, or link in an outside app.
I've been searching through the package database, but didnt see anything.
thx

Can't drag audio files onto timeline

I can usually drag audio files (.mp3, .mov, .aiff) right into a project and it loads into either an existing track or automatically creates a new one.
I can't do that anymore as it loads up into an already existing track that has audio already on it and edited.
Simply cannot import new audio, on new tracks.
Any suggestions?
Running Mavericks and GarageBand 10.0.2
thanks

Probably a matter of source patching:

Logic Can't Locate Audio Files, Random Freak Occurrence?

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but today I was asked to bounced down an instrumental of a remix that I had finished a few weeks ago. So when I went to go open up the project, Logic was saying that it couldn't find 3 audio files now all of a sudden, which were all vocal tracks by the way.
At first I thought Logic was looking for edited audio files because the file names had something like this after them... "#21312.wav". I did not see actual audio files that had any of these edited names so I thought that I had really lost the edited audio files some how, but what I did actually see with those edited names were actual folders inside the "Edits" folder of the project folder.
After the project had opened, I looked inside the Media bay window and the three audio files that Logic could not find had an exclamation mark next to them obviously. So I thought about trying something... I double clicked on the exclamation mark on each of the missing files again and I just decided to see what would happen if I chose the audio with out the "#12321.wav" names. It seems as though everything loaded fine and that those "#234323.wav" are not actual files, but folders with edit instructions for the original file in the "audio" folder of a project folder.
This has been the first and hopefully the last time it has happened to me (knock on wood), and I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before? I would love to know why it happened out of the blue. Logic 8 has been good to me so far, hardly any crashes or other problems, hopefully it's just a random one time freak occurrence!

I did have this issue early on in version 7. It had to do with where I stored certain files and it happened after switching from a G5 to an Intel Mac. I think the issue came from having my Logic content on a separate drive and folder, and when I reinstalled logic I didn't use the same folder for its content.

Import audio file logic to MainStage

Hi there!
I did cut an audio file in Logic and I can't import this file in Mainstage. But the full audio file working. Seems to be the modification with Logic cannot be import by mainstage???
Thanks

I don't think it's a simple option to allow audio tracks to appear in groups because of the basic Motion workflow.
And I don't think it's limiting thinking. You have to consider what a program was designed for vs what it can do. End Users inevitably put programs to uses which the program itself was never intended and that's fine, but just because you work with audio one way in FCP doesn't mean that Motion should have the same workflow. Particularly if it impedes the main function of the program.
