Separating audio from the video

I'm new to this version of iMovie. I only knew how to use an older one from high school, I don't know which version that was, but it had three bars at the bottom to place video and audio files.
Anyway, I need to know how to separate the audio from a video file while still being able to keep the video clip. Plus, how do you adjust the volume of only certain clips, like for it to start off quiet, but gradually increase in volume?
Thanks!

This all becomes much simpler in iMovie 09.

Problem: Audio from the video plays, but video does not show.

Hi,
I used the following code to play the video. The audio from the video plays displaying the player but there is no visual.
There is no problem with the video as I have tried several other videos with .mpg and .mov extensions.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.media.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MediaPanel {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Movie Player");
    static Player player = null;
    public MediaPanel(){
        try{ // method using URL
            URL url=new URL("file",null,"c:\\temp\\A.mpg");
            player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(url);
        } catch( Exception e) {
            System.out.println(" Unable to create the audioPlayer :" + e );
        Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();
        frame.getContentPane().add( control, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                MediaPanel.stop();
                System.exit(0);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize( new Dimension(600,600) );
        frame.setVisible(true);
        player.start();
    public static void stop(){
        player.stop();
        player.close();
    public static void main( String args[]){
        MediaPanel panel = new MediaPanel();
}

use this code "Component control = player.getVisualComponent(); "
instead of this code " Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();"
But if you want show both of them, modify as following
Component control1 = player.getControlPanelComponent();
Component control2 = player.getVisualComponent();
then add the two control (control1 & control2 ) to your JFrame panel

On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

.

Hey,
If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.
A great resource for finding answers to questions like this is http://www.imovietutorialhelp.com
You can ask questions just like these and they will be answered for you. If you need a tutorial video made or anything like that, you can go there as well and ask for a video to made as well. Check it out.

After I detach audio from the video, and I go to delete the video portion but keep the audio, it deletes both. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello Everyone!
I would appreciate your support if you can. I know how to detach the audio from a video clip. Once this is done I wanted to add another video shot (B-roll) over the audio I detached. When I go to delete the video (which is detached form the audio) It deletes both of them automatically.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Do I need to unpin the audio somehow?
Thanks again.
RJ

Hey I found the info I needed. I decided to show it to anyone else who may be looking for this same answer.

Merge Clips: Can you omit the audio from the video track?

To be more specific:
Running FCP 6.0.3:
I'm syncing audio separately recorded to video for a feature film. The video (RED ftg) has one track of reference audio on it, and it's usually a scratchy wireless signal that is not useable. Can I merge the video track with the audio tracks and leave behind the bad audio? Or can I get rid of that audio in any way?
Thanks
Jason

WireTap Studio did the trick. I downloaded a free Trial version and bob's yer uncle.
Thanks Michael

Need a clever solution for removing audio from the video gaps...

Here's a tiny section of my timeline:
I want to delete all the audio in the areas where there's no video so that it looks like this:
I was planning on just doing it manually one at a time, but my timeline is 3 hours long and there's over 500 gaps... that would take a very long time. So I was hoping somebody would have better method... sort of like a ripple delete all that would ignore audio. Everything is unlinked.
-Pete

Select video and move it up onto color matte.
Let go
Pick it up again and move it to track 3
Dont let go, hold shift and move audio to track 2
Deselect
Select color matte and left over audio: ripple delete.

Can I rip the audio from a video file?

I have a video file with a band singing on it. I have an ipod nano, so I can't import the video with the singing onto my ipod. Is there anyway to rip the audio from the video file and put that onto my ipod?
-Thanks

Open the video in Quicktime Player.
Select the Export menu item.
Change the Export type to "Sound to Wave".
Save the WAV file somewhere with the default settings.
Load the WAV file into iTunes and use iTunes to convert it to AAC for the Nano.

Separating audio from video track

I'm going to try and download video from a camcorder to iMovie for the first time. I recorded a kids concert with my camcorder and want to separate the audio from the video to burn just the audio onto a CD. How do I do that?

I don't want to burn the entire soundtrace of what I recorded, just one song of the performance I recorded.
I can only tell you what I would probably do in your situation:
1) I would import only the portion i wanted. You should be able to do this by using the iMovie '08 manual option setting. Simply plug in your camcorder and when the Import window opens, set the "manual" switch. Press the "Fast Forward" button on your camcorder to move the tape to the approximate location of the content you want. Press the "Stop" button, switch to the "Play" mode and press and hold the "Fast Forward" and/or "Rewind" controls on your camcorder to locate a point on your tape just prior to the song you want. As soon as your release the "Fast Forward" or "Rewind" camcorder button, press the "Import" icon in the iMovie '08 "Import" window to begin your actual capture. When the song ends, press the "Done" icon in the iMovie '08 "Import" window to terminate capture. At this point you can close iMovie '08 as soon as it will let you do so.
2) Locate the "Event" folder to which the clip was imported and move the file to your desktop or other convenient location on your hard drive. If this was the only clip in the "Event" folder, you can delete the "Event" folder. If you imported the clip to an "Event" folder in use, delete Thumbnail/Cache folders to force iMovie '08 to re-generate the "Event" folder contents without the clip you just moved.
3) Open your clip in either QT Pro or MPEG Streamclip. Trim your clip by using the Left/Right arrow keys to move the playhead to the exact frame you wish to begin your audio recording and press the "I" ("In") key. Now drag the playhead to the end of the clip and use the Left/Right arrow keys to locate the exact frame where you wish to terminate your audio recoding and press the "O" ("Out") key. The progress bar should now reflect the "trimmed" content designated for conversion.
4) Now convert your file to audio. In QT Pro, select the "Sound to AIFF" File menu Export option. In MPEG Streamclip, select the "Export Audio..." File menu option which should default to "AIFF" but can be reset to MP3 is so desired. At this time simply select your destination location and press the "OK" or "Save" button for whiever application you are using to begin your conversion.
5) Burn the resulting file to CD using whatever utility/work flow is normal for you.

Recording Audio from DVD Video

Hi,
I have a music concert video on DVD. I would like to record a song off the video so that I can learn to play the guitar part. Is there any software out there that will separate the audio from the video, or in other words, capture the audio and maybe convert it to mp3 format so that I can play it in iTunes without playing the video?
Sincerely,
Jim

Audio Hijack will let you capture audio from any running Mac Os X application.

Audio from inserted video keeps playing on next slide

Hello,
I'm experimenting with Adobe Presenter 6. I have inserted a
video clip into a slide. There is a stop action on frame1 with a
button that advances to frame2. The video has audio, which
unfortunately keeps playing if I advance to the next slide. If I go
once slide further ahead, the audio from the video stops. Has
anyone else encountered this problem? It's driving me crazy!
Thanks!

Hi Doc!
I actually ran into the same situation...not with a video
clip, but with a basic flash animation that had audio in it. I'm
not suggesting that the following will definitely work for you, but
it might be worth taking a look at:
Any audio that's set to "Event" while editing in Flash will
continue to "stream" , even while navigating between slides. In
most cases that I've seen (from my experience), audio will stop if
the offending slide is placed immediately before a question slide.
I realize that might not be practical in every case, so....
1. Make sure that audio sync settings in flash are set to
"Stream". What this does is effectively kill off any audio once you
navigate away from the slide that has the embedded flash on it.
2. you can always add a stopAllSounds(); method in flash, but
that's not highly recommended
UNLESS your content slide (with the offending flash object )
comes immediately before, or within a range of question slides.
Again, this too might not be entirely practical based on what
you're trying to do.
I realize that might not help, but as I said, it might be
worth taking a look at how you're incorporating your video.

How do I get audio from mp4 video to stop playing on other slides? URGENT

I have imported an mp4 video into my Captivate file, and it plays well. But when I get to slides after that one, the audio from the video file repeats on several other slides. How do I get this ugly behavior to stop?
I don't want to unsync the audio and video because it could get out of sync on playback.
Please advise ASAP. I am supposed to be handing this in tomorrow and have spent countless hours doing workarounds on this project already...
Thank you very much for any help you can give me.
Ellen

Hello Ellen,
What is your Captivate version and what option did you choose to insert the video?
If it is Captivate 6, Can you use the Multi Slide Synchonize video. If it is a Previous version, can you select the Video and from properties choose to synchronize with project?
Does the audio play on other slides when you jump from an incomplete video to other slides or when you view the complete video and then move to rest of the slides.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Separating Audio from Video

is there any way to take a dvd and separate its audio from its video? meaning, if i wanted to take the movie "300" and i wanted to pull all of the audio tracks out separately so i could use them in final cut, how would i go about doing that? thanks

You can't separate all the audio track files because they have been mixed together.
You can only separate the stereo surround sound from the video and that's easy to do.
FYI David, I believe if EditingNut wants to use the soundtrack from a movie it's perfectly legal to do so as long as he uses it for his own personal project and not for distribution.

Can you record the audio from a Video embedded in a pdf?

I can't seem to find anything on this, so I will ask. A client sent us a company produced interactive pdf and wants us to use the audio from a video clip that is in the pdf. We asked for the audio clip but they don't know who to get it from and just keep saying it is in the pdf. While others try to explain that a pdf and an mp3 are not the same thing. I get to look into a fall back position of trying to extract the audio (or video). There is no copyright issue here. Client peon just can't/won't get the proper file.
Maybe some one can help or point me to info that says it is not possible.
Thanks.

How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

Binbashi
You can separate the audio track from video and save it to a DVD disc within Premiere Elements but not a CD disc.
To do save to the audio to DVD disc, you do not have to separate linked audio video, just use the export Publish+Share/Computer/Audio and set Presets to the wanted format (AAC, AIFF, MP3, or Windows Waveform (WAV).
You will not see Audio in the choices since it is at the bottom of the list of choices under Publish+Share/Computer/. You will need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices to scroll to it.
If you need information on selective export of Timeline content when dealing with more than just this one file on the Timeline, please let us know. If you are trying to produce a CD for listening in car or CD player elsewhere, please let us know.
Looking forward to learning of your results.
Thank you.
