Turning sound down in "middle" of longer clip?

Hi all,
How do I view the sound bar as I could in iMovie06 HD and just manually "turn it down" in the middle, to delete that annoying comment, cough, interruption or whatever to the clip but not disrupt the actual video?
I like the fact that 09 has chapters and a few of the other goodies of HD, but am missing other older devices (like exporting back to DV tape, drop and drag clip to desktop to copy out of imovie, etc).

I think that there is an easier way, proposed elsewhere in this forum. Add a silent voiceover where you want the volume decreased. Set the "ducking" volume where you want it to reduce the sound of the original to where you want it. Adding silent voiceovers is easy.

    Assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

    Hard to help without knowing which variant of iMac you have. They've been in continuous production since 1998 in four major families, and what works for one familiy of iMac may not work to diagnose one from another family.
    Doing "About ths Mac" will show the processor info. Post what it says about your processor (and Mac OS version while you are there) and that will narrow what family of iMac you have.
    This forum section is for the three iMac families made before 2006.

  • My iPhone 4S will not play music out loud. I can't turn sound up or down, it doesn't even give me the option.  I think that it thinks its docked, I've tried to blow air in it, I've tried compressed air with no luck.

    Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean again, very well with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

    I would suggest that you go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Then, you can drag your new video clip on top of your old clip and a popup menu should appear. Choose REPLACE.

  • I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
    iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
    So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
    One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
    Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

  • Freeze frame in the middle of a clip?

    For an instructional DVD, I need to be able to freeze a frame in the middle of a clip, without the sound (as I'll put up some text messages).
    I've ended up making copies of the clip, and using the hold condition, and trying to line them all up by hand, but this doesn't seem like an ideal way to do this.
    Also, is there an easy way to turn off the sound for the 'hold' part of the end of a clip? Would be nice if there were a boolean I'd overlooked, but I guess I'll have to open my "Spencer's" Motion 4 book, and try to remember how audio keyframing works?

    As mentioned by others, it's best to perform this effect in FCP. Bring your Motion project back into FCP and place the playhead where you want to freeze the frame. Press shift/n to create a still image in the Viewer. Blade the clip at the playhead and perform an insert edit to add the freeze frame. Cutting out the audio in FCP is easy as well and there's several ways to go about it. I would simply blade the audio at the freezing point and drag the remainder of the audio to snap to the point where the motion starts up again, depending on the type of audio effect you are looking for.
    Although there aren't any behaviors in Motion that affect audio in that fashion (except for Audio fade in/out behavior) you can still edit the audio somewhat in Motion. Just go to the Audio Editor Tab and adjust the levels there or press ⌘6 to reveal the Audio Tab then right click the audio file to duplicate the audio file, set an out point for the first audio clip in the Audio Editor Tab where you want it to freeze, note the frame, and on the duplicated audio file set the in point at the same frame that was set for the first audio clips out point, then place the duplicated audio clip were you'd like the audio to resume.

  • Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?

    Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?
    I went through all my old formats (VHS, hi8, miniDV, etc) and captured them. They end up as .mov files. Some of the longer 2hr ones are about 28GB.
    If I am making a new project and I want to edit in short clips from several of these longer files, is there a way to save a short clip from an existing file without compressing it any further?
    In other words, lets say I have 10 2hr files, but I know I only want 1 minute from each. Is there a way to select the good 1 minute from each .mov file that I want to use and a version of this 1 minute from each in the folder I am working on the project in, without compressing them??? I like to keep all of the content I am working with on a project in its own folder in case the project needs to be moved from one hard drive to the next while I am working on it. I would hate to have to make a folder that is 280GB or more when I only need a minute from each larger file.
    I hope I have asked this in a way that is understandable. Maybe there is a term for what I want to do, that I don't know yet that has its own help section too.   Thanks for any assistance

    Thanks Jon - That's kind of where I started, but the part of that I need help with on is the second to last step.
    "Export using a codec that matches the source material. "
    The codec they were captured in is .mov at DV quality, but then after picking .mov, there are so many other options to choose from as far as compression goes from sound quality and settings, to how many passes, etc. I just want the new clip to be of the same quality as the original clip. It looks so complicated and its not clear to me what options to pick to match the original.
    Is there a setting or preference that helps you to match the compression settings of the original clip? Or is there  a way to detect the settings of the original clip so I can repeat that in the shortened clip??

  • How can I disable the end of call notification or at least turn it down?

    On my Droid Turbo, At the end of a call there is a big loud beep.  (end of call notification)  I need to disable it or turn it down because on headset it is deafening.  I had this exact problem on the HTC One M8 and now with the Droid Turbo.  My wife's Samsung S5 has an option to disable it and I believe the LG G3 has an option to disable it.  IT isn't a problem except on headset or over hands-free in the car.  It is intolerable when I have to turn up the phone to hear a caller.  Please help soon as my 14 days are running out and I will likely have to trade in this phone Droid Turbo in for the LG.  Verizon technical support is no help at all. 

    Thank you for replying Amber, it is a little more than annoying, it is a safety hazard.  Tinnitus is not a fun disease and this problem can be a contributing factor. 
    Yes the end of call notification (loud beep) does occur at the end of every call.  And an end of call notification can be a good thing.  But missing it a way to control it's volume.  No, it is not as loud with the volume tuned down.  It is not a problem unless using bluetooth or headset as the speaker is away from the ear.  But on headset it is very loud, and extremely loud when you have to turn the phone up to hear a caller.  I have a long commute and use a headset a-lot. My work around currently is to rip my headset out of my ear before a call ends to avoid the excruciating pain of having my ear blasted.  Car bluetooth does have the same problem.  Turn the phone up to hear a call then everyone in the car will get blasted.  This is not a problem for those that do not use bluetooth or a headset.  But for those that do, it hurts. 

  • Sound keys on keyboard no longer control sound. What should I do to fix this?

    Sound keys on keyboard no longer control sound. What should I do to fix this?

    Hey Bill,
    Check to see if the option for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys." is turned off. When it is turned on, you would need to hold the Fn key while hitting one of those keys will make it work they way icons are displayed. To find out where this option is, go to System Preferences > Keyboard and in the Keyboard tab is where you want to be. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Audio-Problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 by using long Clips in AVC-Intra Codec (4Gb Border)

    Hello
    We own a Panasonic camera (AJ-PX5000G) and we film in 1080p50 with the AVC-Intra100 Codec. When importing longer clips in Premiere Pro, the video is fully loaded, but the waveform of the sound ends at the Time Code 00:02:28:35.
    Sometimes the sound could be played after this Timecode but otherwise there is no audio. Even if we use the same clip several times we see that it works sometimes and sometimes not. It looks random.
    We also tried to import the Clips with Adobe Prelude directly from the P2-Card but there are the same problems.
    The Clips in 1080p50 AVC-Intra100 have a bitrate of 227Mbps. After 2 Minutes and 28 Seconds 4Gb are written on the P2-Card and the Camera starts a new picture file and 4 sound files..
    It looks like Adobe Premiere Pro has problems with the correct relation of the files that all get together to one clip.
    Is there anybody who can confirm this problem? Can anybody help me with this Premiere Problem?

  • HTWS1G/XAA sound stick turns sound on then off.

    My HTWS1G/XAA  sound stick that will no longer work properly. I turn the sound stick on I get a few seconds of sound then it turns itself off again. No sound.
    Sound stick will turn on with no sound input from TV. But as soon as I turn on sound from TV the sound stick will play sound for a few seconds and then turn itself off again.

    give it a search, sometimes you have to look for a day or two, but you will find one. Also do a search on google. You can find them at parts houses like ifixipodsfast.com for 120 for a 30 and 165 for a 60 gig. But do some searches and go here for the tutorial on how to change it. It is really not that hard at all.http://www.ipodhowtovideo.com/video/
    I have had my video apart twice and two of my friends for screen and battery replacement. I have had the hard drives out and can testify that it is really not that hard. Just be careful with the ribbon cables.

  • Color correction/effects when working with long clips

    Hi,
    First time poster!
    I'm a beginner with Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5. I'm using it right now to do some color correction on badly produced DVD's in my film collection! I was wondering if it is possible when doing color correction effects on a clip if you can apply different effects to different parts of a clip. For example - At the beginning of a clip, the scene is really bright, but, some 30 minutes later, the clip is really dark. Is it possible to darken the beginning and lighten the ending? How would you folks deal with a situation like this? Would you edit the film down to smaller parts? If so, how would you go about that?
    Thanks for the help!
    Howard

    Howard,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Along with Jon-M-Spear's suggestion (the one that I use most often too), many Effects can be Keyframed, so that they change over time. However, this does take some time, and can involve a lot of fiddling.
    If you have a long Clip, and know that you will be adding the same set of Effects, but just with different attributes, you can do one of two things, and both rely on Jon-M's method:
    You can create an Effect Preset, and apply that to all of your Cut, let's call them "sub-Clips," even though that term has other meanings, so be careful when using it. Then apply that Preset to all of those sub-Clips. Then, tweak each application of the Preset, as is needed for the individual sub-Clip.
    In a similar fashion, you can apply all necessary Effects to the first of your sub-Clips, tweak for it, as is necessary, then Rt-Click on it, chosing Copy. Now, Select all of the rest of the sub-Clips, to which you wish to apply that set of Effects, Rt-Click on them, choosing Paste Attributes, and then tweak, as needed.
    A variation on the above would be to apply the Effects to the origianal Clip, and THEN make the Cuts. Go back and tweak each individual sub-Clip.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How do I make precise frame range deletions in the middle of project clip?

    I need to make a precise deletion of frames 8:55:15 to 8:56:12 in the middle of my project video clip.
    Problem: The trimmer won't do it because it keeps the very selection which I want to delete, while deleting the frames before and after my selection range.
    Problem: When in my project, while the red pointer tells me exactly where I am in my clip (when I select Playhead Information in View), the problem is that I have no information to tell me the exact location of the right and left selection handles so I can precisely select 8:55:15 and 8:56:12 of my clip for deletion. I press the Option key and the pointer moves to the beginning or end of the clip, not to one end handles of the selection.
    In iMovie 3 when the selection handles are moved I get information as to exactly where each handle rests in terms of time or frames for easy deletion of the exact selection I want to remove.
    Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
    Thank you.

    Problem: The trimmer won't do it because it keeps the very selection which I want to delete, while deleting the frames before and after my selection range.
    Don't use it. It is for trimming the ends from the clip selection.
    Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
    Yes. The basic strategy is to expand the project to its maximum scale (0.5 sec) and to then select the range of frames you wish to to edit. Start by slowly dragging the playhead across the clip in the area you wish to access. The time in white below the window will display the exact (minute:) second: and frame across which you are skimming, as well as display the frame itself in both the thumbnail and the preview screens. (NOTE: I prefer visual selection of the frames rather than using a time reference since such references may change as transitions and titles are added.) When you locate the first frame you wish to delete, press the mouse to select it. While holding down the mouse, continue to scrub the clip to locate the last frame you wish to delete. When you locate it, release the mouse. At this point you can either split the clip and keep/delet the sub-segments as needed or delete the selected range using the "Delete Selection" or "Cut" Edit menu options.
    Another method would be to select the approximate range you wish to edit in the middle of the clip and then grab and drag the beginning and ending "handles" to adjust the exact start and stop frames for the "Selected" range. In this case, the times ate the bottom of the "Project" window represent the "in" and "out" points for the range of frames currently selected. Once again, I prefer to select the in and out points visually as I scrub. Also, for me, this two-stage adjustment approach seems quicker and easier for my approach to editing.
    The problem is that the playhead refers to the red pointer, thus I can get an exact location of the pointer in terms of time and frame, but NOT a location of the selection handles.
    Okay, I see what you mean. However, if you use the two-stange method described above, the point where you press the mouse to mark the begin handle of the selected range is the "begin handle". Same holds true for the release point (playhead time time) for the stop handle.
    Is there some way I can line up the pointer exactly with the location of the right or left handle then use Option key and Left/Right arrow keys to move the handles to my exact range frame by frame?
    Not really at the same time. iMovie does allow you to set the exact start point and will tell you when you have reached the exact number of seconds and frames for the range you wish to delete. Adding the two together does give you the exact time of the end of the range in seconds and frames.

  • My ipods volume wouldnt go down and every time i tried to turn it down it went back up to full volume, does anyone know what the problem is?

    this morning i turned my music on and the volume wouldn't go down, and every time i tried to turn it down it just kept going back up. If i were to hold the volume slide down while playing the music it would make a sort of chopping sound in the music. I finally restarted it and it fixed it but i was wondering what the problem was.

    Did you already try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
