Using music in FCP

I'm trying to use purchased music from my ITunes library for a project in FCP, and I know about the copyright issues, but its for a school project and I was wondering if there is any way around it. Thanks!

You could always start with Soundtrack Pro or Garageband to create some music to which you'll have sync rights.

  • Trying to use music purchased from iTunes store with a home movie

    I am making a home movie for family use only in either iMovie or Final Cut Pro, but neither app will allow me to use music purchased from iTunes store. Why not? It's not a licensing issue b/c there is no distribution other than my family at a big birthday party. The music imports but acts as if it has no audio once the file is imported to either program. help!

    ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Put the purchased songs into a playlist. Set iTunes burning options to burn AUDIO CDs. Burn the playlist to an audio CD (you can use a CD-RW if you don't want to waste a blank). After it is done, reimport the tracks off the CD. Now use the reimported versions in iMovie or FCP and they should work fine now.

  • Is there a way to use music from multiple users itunes libraries on one iMac for a slideshow in Aperture?

    I am trying to put together a slide show for a trip my wife and I took to England. I would like to be able to use music from both our itunes libraries in the slide show. I am using Aperture to create the slide show since it seems to be more versatile than iPhoto for this. Only trouble is that when I log into my username on the iMac I only see my iTunes library and similar when logging into her username. We have different music but would like to use some from each library in the slide show.

    You can only use one library at a time in an Aperture slideshow, so I'd suggest to simply collect the audio that you want to use in a folder (export the songs from both iTunes Libraries) and then import this folder to Aperture. Now you have a project containing the audio files; you will see it in the Aperture Audio section of the audio Browser, right above the iTunes section.
    You can use the Apperture audio just like the audio in iTunes to drag to the timeline of your slideshow.

    You can take any MP3 file that it 40 seconds or less and change the file extension to M4R. Then drag it into iTunes. It will appear under Ringtones and transfer over next time you sync,

  • I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

    I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

    I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
    As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
    At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
    Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
    NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

  • How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

  • Using music library in iTunes to create ringtones?

    Is there a way to use music from my iTunes library to make my own ringtones?  If found an article on About.com and also through an earlier Community discussion from several months ago, but couldn't get it to work.  Also, the articles refer to using Windows Explorer in one of the steps, so maybe instructions for Windows based PC users.  I'm using a Mac with iTunes 10.5.2 and OS X 10.5.8.

    Thanks, this was great.  Also did some more searching and found this site, slightly different steps than the Cnet video you pointed out but also worked for me.

  • Problem exporting using Compressor in FCP?

    I had a problem exporting using Compressor in FCP and then I found an interesting article from Apple:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1099
    but it doesn't really explain the solution. What steps do I need to take exactly in Compressor to make it work?

    James M. has it right. Convert the MP3 and the WAV files to AIFF, 48khz, 16 bit and use those in your Sequence. You might even have to convert the existing AIFF file(s) if they aren't 48khz, 16 bit.
    Once you've edited the new files into your Sequence, do an Audio Mixdown, then export.

  • Using music in slideshow

    Hello:
    Slowly getting used to my new MacBook after having been a PC person for 15 years. I want to make a slideshow, and I want to use music; I've looked at the other posts on this subject and know to use iTunes playlist if I want more than one tune. However: I don't want the whole tune to play through; when the mood of a group of slides change, I want to fade the music and start a new tune. Is there a way to edit tunes like this? (I hate to sound like I'm rubbing it in, but Dell has such a cross-fade function!) Anyone know of an iTunes method? Or would I have to edit in a separate program like Audacity?
    Thanks!
    medren

    Medren:
    Another option is to use a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus Pro to edit the track as you want and save it as a new file. AP will let you do fade ins and outs, add parts of multiple files together, etc.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to use music as ringtones?

    I just bought an IPhone 3Gs and is wondering if it is possible to use music / mp3s as ringtones?

    You can use iTunes to manually create a ringtone with a music or sound file that does not include DRM protection.

  • Using music in Final Cut Express

    I loaded music into iTunes. It's music written and performed by my friend. I'm editing a video for him.
    In the old iTunes you could convert any song to an MP3 version. They you could import and use the song in Final Cut Express with no problem. Now I don't see that option. It's either not there on one of my iMacs or it's grayed out in another.
    How can convert my songs to that I can edit and use music.

    Ideally, you should use should use the original file instead of MP3/AAC.
    And you don't use MP3 in Final Cut Express.
    See this -> Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express: Convert MP3 and AAC audio files for compatibility before importing
