Using apple Royality free music for short film...

Does anybody know that if I use a track from apples royalty free music library in soundtrack, do I have to put it in the credits where the track came from. And what should I put? The track name and courtesy of apple or something like that?
Thank you so much for your help!

You might consider contacting [Associated Production Music|http://www.apmmusic.com/pages/faq.html] and asking them. There's nothing in Apple documentation that addresses this.

  • Music for short film question...

    So I'm editing my first, and bad, short film. I'm wondering what's the best way to go about music, obtaining and dropping music tracks in? How does one go about putting, lets say, Mozart under some video? Thanks, I know this is a noob question but I'm still getting used to it!

    I keep a folder on my hard drive that is just filled with music of different types that I import from music CDs: classics, rock, pop, etc. It all comes in handy for background music in one kind of video or another, and gives me lots of choices and raw material. In fact, as Hollywood knows, the background music can make or break the video. Can you imagine all the tear-jerker scenes in the Titanic without the theme music, or the Ken Burns special on the Civil War without that special theme song he used? It's the music that sets the mood.
    Like the other guys said, use some program such as iTunes, SoundStudio, or QuickTime Player Pro to convert whatever comes off your music CDs into AIFF form (although I've found FCE will try to work with just about any kind of audio file, and usually can), and then just drag and drop the music file's icon into your Final Cut Express browser (remembering that what gets dropped into FCE is only a pointer back to the original audio file). Once it's in the Browser, you can double-click it into the Viewer, and there in the Viewer window listen to it and set IN and OUT points (with the I and O keys on the keyboard) to make the length of the audio clip approximately match the length of the video clip you want to put it under, and also to choose the most appropriate part of the music or song to fit the video. You can always override these IN and OUT points on the timeline, of course, just by dragging the edges of the audio clip left or right to make it longer or shorter, or slipping it around with FCE's tools, but setting the IN and OUT points in the viewer like that before you drag the audio clip down to the audio tracks from the Browser gives you a rough starting point. If you just drag the entire audio file down onto the timeline immediately, without such adjustments, you can get an awful long audio clip stretched way down your Timeline (and it might also accidentally run over, and move, or obliterate, some other clips on that audio track way downstream). Then you must whittle that overly long audio clip down with the razor blade or other editing tool to match the video clip above it, although I did it that way before learning that it's better to do it in the Viewer window.
    Once the audio clip is in the timeline, use the pen tool on the red audio volume line running down the length of it, to adjust overall volume, and to raise and lower the volume at specific points in the video clip, and to fade it in and out at the beginning, end, and elsewhere as needed. To do this, just click on the red line with the pen tool to establish control points (keyframes) so you can pull the volume line up and down. Setting the audio clips to show the waveforms of the music while you do this can help with the precision of these adjustments.
    Yeah, music is so important to the mood of a video that I'm amazed so many people neglect it, or choose the wrong music (see YouTube for just how bad it can get). Some time spent experimenting to get the right music, and the most effective use of it, really pays off. I've had tears running down peoples' eyes (OK, my own too sometimes) watching some of my sentimental family videos with the right music behind it.
    Same goes for comedy: check out this video comedy I created in FCE and uploaded to YouTube, and see how the music absolutely makes the main scene, and how you can match the beat of the music to the action in the video. It takes time, sliding the video clips around to match the beat, but it pays off--I've seen people fall out of their chairs laughing while watching this one: <http://tinyurl.com/6xdymg>

  • Making new music for short films

    Before I spend another 500 hours learning how to use Soundtrack Pro, I have a basic question:
    Is making a full piece of music, a score with beginning, middle and end, possible with only the material supplied by the Soundtrack program, or do I need to add a musician? I haven't found anything in the program as yet that creates genuine melodies apart from the introductory riffs, etc.
    Thank you,
    Duckjockey

    It depends on your needs and standards. Technically, it's possible to do what you want with the loops provided. If there is a lack of melodic material with any length, it is possible to edit those riffs to create your own melodies. You can trim, copy, pitch and time shift things around, but at the end of the day it won't sound any better than having a live musician perform the parts. It will save you money, but you need to have the time.
    Perhaps you can create your accompaniment beds using provided loops, hire a live musician to do melodic parts. This can sound pretty good.
    Alternately, if you acquired STP in Logic Studio, you'll find Logic a much better composition tool.

  • I'm wondering about using Apple loops in music. Is it ok to do so to make music for people to hear, without it being sold. And how do you get permission to use them in music to sell?

    I'm wondering about using Apple loops in music. Is it ok to do so to make music for people to hear,like on soundcloud or other websites, without it being sold. And how do you get permission to use them in music to sell?

    From the LOGIC STUDIO SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT   :
    C. Except as otherwise indicated, you may use the Apple and third party audio file content (including, but not limited to, the Apple Loops, built-insound files, samples and impulse responses) (collectively the “Audio Content”), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on aroyalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your film, video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your ownsoundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual Apple loops, audio files, sound settings, samples and impulse responsesmay not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, soundfiles, sound effects or music beds.
    This means, you can use all Apple Loops in your music, they're royality-free.

  • Best sequence preset for short film with all stills?

    Hi,
    I'm working on a short film documentary, its all stills, I usually work with video - first time doing all stills. Project looks great in my time line, but when rendering for standard DVD I'm getting lots of odd pixilation in cross fades and fades to black. Not a lot of time to keep testing the hundreds of sequence and render settings. Perhaps not the best choice but I used AVCHD 1080p30.
    Anyone know which of the sequence presets would be best for a film with all stills?
    Thanks!

    Still a little unsure about the render twice. I did use a AVCHD sequence/timeline, but I am exporting using media encoder to MPEG2. I'm guessing by render twice you mean rendering in the timeline after you bring in stills and apply motion, then rendering again when exporting for MPEG2? If thats your meaning, not sure how you get around rendering twice - I mean the motions and timeline still needs to be rendered, or are you saying leave it all to be rendered at the export process?
    I can see how the terminology could be confusing.  When you Export>Media from Pr, that's the same as Exporting and Rendering (esp. if your output format is different from your Preview format).  One way to look at it is that you're rendering a complete single file to a single codec.
    Rendering is also a term used to "build" Previews in Pr.  That's where your source media - no matter what codec was used - is rendered into the Preview format you selected in your Sequence Settings.
    You have options when making a DVD.  You can export (while simultaneously rendering) to an intermediate file, such as ProRes for Mac people, and then make your DVD from that.  That is "rendering twice."  OR... you can simply Export to an MPEG2 from Pr, and make your DVD from that, which would be "rendering once."
    Based on what you just wrote, it sounds like you're only "rendering once."  But if so, I'm baffled why your fades are blocky.
    Maybe it would help if you described how you're making your DVD.  I wonder if you're re-transcoding your MPEG2 when you get to Encore (or whatever you're using to make DVDs).  That could explain it.

  • Looking for free royalty-free music for imovie slideshow

    hi there,
    i wanted to score my imovie slideshow with some free royalty-free music. can anyone suggest any sites where i can find it? i need about 1 1/2 - 3 mins., instrumental, easy listening or pop. thanks in advance.

    Are you selling your slideshow or just using it for yourself and friends? If not, I don't think you need worry about licensing. You can just use music from your itunes folder for personal use. If you are using it in a commercial sense, then use look for royalty free. I posted royalty free question once, but what i really meant was where to find music and what sounds good. Also, imovie has some jingles that are instrumental. Some go for over a minute.

  • Using Apple Mac Developer account for code signing

    Has anyone been using their Apple Mac Developer account for code signing and Adobe Air desktop App?
    Any hints, tips comments appreciated!

    Why would I do that?  I simply want to know, is the binary file I downloaded signed by with MY cert?  I can determine this within reasonable doubt by answering two simple questions:
    1.  Is the cert that this file signed with valid (chain of trust and all that).
    2.  What is the name of the cert (the identity).
    If the Identity is the right one (in our case, the name of our company) and it is valid, then I will trust that this binary is ours.
    Maybe this will clarify my question. I guess I could rephrase this question as:
    "How do I write a simple tool that will verify a file has a valid signature and will give me the signer's identity"?

    Now that's suddenly an entirely different requirement!

    Since the perfect game is a draw, "user never wins" is actually possible, but it can never beat a perfect player.

  • Do you essentially have free music for a whole year with this?

    I want to get itunes match bc it sounds like a good deal for downloading as much music as you want, am i right?

    I want a refund so I can go to the Apple store and buy a non custom job. That way I take it in there and demonstrate the problem and get it
    Just to set expectations properly, just because you buy a system from a retail Apple Store doesn't mean you automatically get higher return privileges. The same general standards vis-a-vis repair vs. replacement apply no matter whether you get your system from a local Apple Store or via the web. It's completely up to Apple, regardless of how you purchased your system, whether or not they'll replace a defective system or attempt to repair it.
    Yes, a stock configuration will be eligible for the 14-day return, but that would apply whether you get the system locally or via the web, and with an opened box, a restocking fee may be applied.
    As to your current situation, call Apple Tech Support and ask to speak with Customer Relations. When you get a CR rep on the line, explain the situation, including all details as to the problems (make sure you have applicable case numbers at hand), when the system has been sent in, what you've been promised and where things stand now. They may be able to help resolve the matter. But a refund is unlikely, in my experience; the highest level of resolution you're likely to get is a replacement of your exisiting system with another of the same configuration. It won't hurt to ask for a refund, of course, but don't expect one.
    Good luck.

  • Using Apple Dvi-Composite adapter for playing S-video/Composite video on...

    I was wondering if anyone has tried to use the DVI-Composite/S-Video adapter and instead of attaching it to a laptop, attached the DVI part to a monitor and then used composite/s-video out from a DVD/VCR player and hooked it up to the monitor direct? I have a 24" monitor that I was hoping to attach a DVD/VCR to and turn it into a tv.

  • Please help!! Using Apple Script in Automator for Quicktime

    I would like to add some metadata to a batch of quicktime movies and then make the files unable to be altered and re-saved so that I can post them on the web. If I open a movie in quicktime and run the following apple script I can then perform save as of movie A into movie B and movie B cannot be altered.
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    set saveable of movie 1 to false
    -- save self contained
    end tell
    I would love to be able to do this on a batch level in automator however I cannot figure out how to pass automator items to the apple script so that their saveable can be set to false, and after this I cannot figure out how to have to movies re-saved so the changes will take effect.
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

    how are you passing files to apple script? as finder items?
    the following should work then
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #ADD8E6;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
    repeat with cur_file in input
    set fname to (name of (get info for cur_file) as text)
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    open file (cur_file as text)
    set saveable of document 1 to false
    tell application "Finder" to set new_item to (path to desktop as string) & fname
    save self contained document 1 in new_item
    delay 1
    close document 1
    end tell
    end repeat
    end tell
    end run
    </pre>
    the above will dump the modified files onto your desktop and give them the same names they had before. You can adjust that as you like of course.
