Taking audio from one video clip to another

Hello,
In editing a short film, there are scenes where the director is talking in the background, while the action is going on. If I like the video of this particular take, but want to use sound from another take, what would be the best way of doing this? I could conceivably take the sound from the one clip and put it in with the desired video clip, but, I do not know if that is the most efficient way, especially when it comes to matching up everything - thanks!

This is one of the basics of editing Kristina. Just cut the video you want on V1 (video only), then put the audio you want on V2. This happens ALL the time. Director giving directions in the middle of shots. This is one of the reasons we get room tone after we are done shooting, before you wrap a set. Need to have something to cover the hole you make in cutting out the BANGS and dolly moves and director talking...stuff like that.

  • Using an audio from one video to another

  • 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

  • How to extract audio from a video clip

    I am editting a video, and I need to extract the audio from a video clip. On the old iMovie it was really easy, all you had to do was press apple K I think. Thanks in advanced for your help.

    Select the clip in the sequence.
    Then command-L to unlink the clips.
    Then select the audio and delete.
    As a suggestion, two things:
    1. Explain what you want to do. If it is delete the audio, then that is different than extracting the audio;
    2. Do a search in the pdf manual in the help manual

  • Audio from one event posting to another video?

    I'd like to use audio from one event and use it for the audio of another movie. I've done it before, but simply can't find the info or remember just how I did it last time. Does anyone know how to do this?

    ooooh, I figured it out! Sorry for the posting.

  • Trying to combine audio from a video clip with a photo

    Is there a way to allow the audio of a video clip to continue, while the visual is changed? I'm trying to insert a photo to replace the last few seconds of a video as the song in the video finishes.

    Not at the moment. Hopefully at some point they will add a feature to independently trim the audio and video to allow this type of edit, otherwise known as an L cut.

  • Patch in Audio from Similar Video Clip

    I have video of our church's Christmas play, shot with a Panasonic TM700. The audio is with the video, from the camcorder. My problem is that in some of the dialog, one girl's lapel mic quit working, so every time she speaks its really hard to hear what she says.
    I have similar video from a dress rehearsal where this person's mic was working fine. I'd like to be able to replace the bad audio from the actual performance with the good audio from the dress rehearsal, just for this one person. Can someone suggest a good workflow for that? Can it all be done in FCPX, or does the good audio need to be extracted from the video before bringing it in?

    Never mind, I figured this out. I just imported the clips from the rehearsal to my event, right clicked and chose Open in Timeline, then copied and pasted the audio from there to my project. Pretty easy.

  • How to extend audio from a video clip over an adjacent still image

    I'm in iMovie 11.  My project looks like this: video A, transition, still image B, transition, video C.  I want the sound from video C to start playing while still image B is on the screen.  I tried following the iMovie 11 help instructions for extending a video clip's audio.  I click on video C and open the precision editor.  From there I can grab video C and move it back so that it overlaps with the still image, but all that happens is the still image still shows up, without sound, and video clip C starts in the middle.  The help instructions seem to indicate that I should be able to drag only the audio and make that overlap the still image, but it's not happening.  Either the video and audio move together, or nothing moves.
    When I try detatching video C from its audio, I just end up with a big mess because later the audio and video don't synch up.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I am having the same challenge... any tips here would help me out in a big way. I recorded my boss tdoing a training session and now I would like to have the powerpoint slides change as necessary - but I want the audio to remain. I would love to just get the slides to change rather than back to full before bringing up the next slide. Jim, if you come up with anything, let me know. I have VC2 pro.

  • Is there a way to separate audio from a video clip in iMovie HD?

    iMovie 6.0.4
    Sorry if this has been answered before.
    Is there any way to edit audio within iMovie? What I mean is, importing an audio file but then editing and separating the audio file into smaller pieces. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks for any help, much appreciated!

    Edit the same as you would a video clip. Highlight the audio clip by clicking on it, then select the place you want to edit it with the playhead, go to EDIT and select Split Audio Clip at Playhead.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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

  • I want to use the audio from one of my clips and the video of another can I do this?

    I have two different video clips that I took from my still camera. I want to use the audio from one of the clips and the video from the other at the same time in imovie can I do this and if yes how

    Yes.
    First go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Now, drag the clip with the Video into the project.
    Drag the clip with the Audio and drop it on the first clip at the frame where you want it to begin. A popup menu should appear. Choose Audio Only. You may then want to open Inspector for the video clip (by clicking the little gear icon at the top left of the clip) and going to the audio tab. Here you can turn down the volume of the video clip, so that all you hear is the audio clip.
    Another way. Put the video clip that has the Audio you want in first. Then drag the clip with the video you want and drop it on the clip that has the audio you want. A popup menu will appear. Choose CUTAWAY.

  • How can i leave audio from one clip playing, while showing another one in i

    i am editing a movie, using iMovie 08, and want to use sound for a clip in the video for the end credits. how can i do this?
    just to be clear, i am not trying to add audio. i am trying to leave the audio from ONE CLIP playing, while viewing a new frame. thanks.

    This is simple in iMovie 11 (drag and drop), but in iMovie 08, you can still do it.

  • Audio from one clip overlayed on another?

    OK, I hope I can explain what I am trying to do in a way that is comprehensible to anyone but me
    In the middle of a clip, I want the video to cut to a second clip but the audio from the first clip to keep playing, overlayed over the second clip, then have the video cut back to the original clip. I am doing a short review of a digital camera and in the original clip I am talking about the size of the camera and for about 5 seconds or so I want the video to transition to a second clip (while still playing the audio from the first,) that shows a closeup shot of the camera, then transition back to the original clip.
    Does that make sense?
    Thanks
    Todd

    Hi Todd:
    Not really that difficult to do!
    Extract your audio from
    I want the video to cut to a second clip but the audio from the first clip to keep playing
    Split your video where you want to put the second clip.
    Split the audio at the same point.
    Lock the 2 newly split audio to the 2 newly split clips.
    Drop and drag the video you want to insert at the split point.
    Now you have:
    First part of split video with first part of split audio locked
    Newly inserted clip (extract any audio that is associated with that clip and delete it.)
    Second half of split video with audio locked.
    Now you need to movie the audio
    i back
    to the inserted clip. So you need to un-lock the audio and slide it back to the point where you split it.
    Adjust the lengths of the clips before doing any of this and do not forget to svae, save, save along the way.
    Clear as mud?
    Hope not-Sue
