Using the audio et video file independantly

Hi, sorry for this newbie question.
I have imported a video clip with its audio file. I would like to be able to replace part of the video clip by some pictures, but without replacing the audio file. Yet, I seem to be unable to move or erase the beginning or the end of the video clip without moving or erasing the equivalent part of the audio clip.
Yes, I have "extracted" the audio file so I can see it indépendantly. But the video and the audio files seem to stay linked. What I am missing?

Hi paslap - welcome to the forum!
What you want to do is called 'paste over at playhead', which is found in the Advanced Menu of imovie.
Steps:
1. Probably best to firstly import the photos into the Timeline somewhere - they can be removed later. Select them and copy them (Command-C).
2. Position the playhead on the video clip where you want the first picture to start.
3. Go Advanced Menu>Paste Ovr at Playhead.
Now you can trash the photos you placed in the Timeline (placing them there was simply to copy them as one block, making the pasting-over more simple).
This will do the task of extracting the audio where necessary, so if you have already done this, best to undo that.

  • How can I combine the audio and video files from youtube downloads when they don't automatically combine?

    I'm using YouTube Video and Audio Downloader. Sometimes the audio and video files combine automatically, sometimes they don't - remaining as separate " DASH - .m4a and DASH - .mp4 ". It used to be that when this would happen I could open up a "ffmpeg" window which would allow me to "manually" convert them to a combined .mp4 file. It was a "drag and drop" type of interface. For some reason I can no longer access that ffmpeg combining function. I tried clicking on ffmpeg.exe. I tried re-downloading ffmpeg several times, both from the Downloader options tab and from the ffmpeg website.
    Thanks for your help.

    Sounds like a question for the developer of the video download add-ons that you have installed.

  • OT: What viewers do you need to use ALL audio and video files?

    I had a lot of trouble with audio and video files on my PC. I
    now have a
    MacBook Pro, which is a big improvement. But I still
    frequently
    encounter files that I can't use. I try to open them, but
    Apple doesn't
    know what to do with them. For example, I often encounter
    unusable
    videos while perusing news websites. I also have some audio
    files with
    .mva or .mvw extensions that don't work.
    So what viwers/players do I need to download in order to be
    able to play
    every audio/video file that comes my way? iTunes handles .mp3
    files, and
    I also have QuickTime installed. I just viewed another video
    after I
    installed a Flash plugin. What else do I need to install?
    Thanks.

  • How do I make a dvd in iDVD out of the audio and video files from Compressor 4?

    I created two video files in fcpx and compressed them using the dvd source in compressor 4 which ended me up with a set of a separate video and separate audio file for each video. I want to take these files into iDVD and create one movie file with these two videos. How do I reconnect the separated video and audio files in iDVD? Thanks!

    tell me what software they used to achieve this.
    iDVD.
    Apple sells iDVD on disk as part of iLife 11.
    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
    With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U
    IDVD remains a popular application in the Apple community. For a variety of obvious reasons Apple would prefer your movies to be stored on the cloud. Many people however prefer to have a physical copy, that they can possess, that is easily playable on over 700 million DVD players worldwide.

  • Needs help Linking back the audio to video files (MXF)

    I already unlinked the audio from certain video files (MXF) because I needed only the video, but now I would need only the sound, but it seems like the audio of those clips is gone. I tried importing the clip again (audio + audio linked to it) but there is no waves in the sound. Can't hear anything. Tried to import the sound by itself, but still no sound. When I look in the P2 viewer there are only 2 soundraks showing (3&4). Track 1 & 2 are gone and still no sound. How can I get the sound back for these clips. There must be a way?
    Thanks for your time

    Import the entire P2 Contents Folder again.

  • Extracting audio from video file to edit...

    i know in imovie it's easy you just select the video then go up top and select the extract audio tab...
    but how can you extract the audio from a video file in final cut so are able to edit the audio and video files separately from one another WITHIN final cut??

    no output volume? ... you need to check your setting under the View menu > Audio Playback ... where are you sending the audio? maybe you're routing it to follow the video out through firewire to your DV device, in which case you need to turn up the speakers on your DV monitoring equipment
    ...or is this a muxed MPEG file? if so you need to demux it before bringing it into FCP, or better still, convert it to a more appropriate edit codec (you can use the excellent and free MPEG Streamclip application to do this)

  • How to combine discrete audio and video files?

    I am working on a project which requires me to merge a video file with a PCM audio file from another source.
    I just bought Compressor 4.1.1, expecting to be able to do exactly this.
    The only "multiple input - single output" option I can see is creating a surround sound group, adding my audio as left and right channels, and then attaching the video.
    This does not work. Pressing "add" at the end of the process does not result in a new job.
    Help please!
    G.

    QT7 Pro is able to do this. Cost is $30.
    In QT7 Pro, open up the audio and video files to be matched.
    Select all the audio and then select copy
    In the video window, put the playback head where you want the audio to start then select add to movie.
    Verify the playback is as desired, then save the movie. Done.
    Takes longer to describe the process than to do it.

    Of course, life is good when the in point is exactly the same for both audio and video ...

  • How streaming an audio or video files from google drive using google api objective-c client?

       I have implemented streaming an audio or video files by mpmovieplayer from Dropbox. For this purpose I am using Dropbox sdk. Audio or video files are playing with no problem from dropbox in my app.
    But, I can not implement the same functionality from Google drive. I am using alternateLink,webcontentLink,EmbedLink,Exportlink that we get from google drive. But mpmovieplayer does not play audio or video. So how can get any link from google drive,by which i can streaming an audio or video file from google drive. I have listed all google drive files in a table view. I am using google api objective-c client. So please help me. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    I'm giving a try at your application and so far, it is great!
    I understand that you're working on a way to help moving back files to google drive. Actually, I can copy / paste, but it always renames the files, so I end up with both a "copy of" and my original file.
    could you save and overwite the original file when it already exists ? (perhaps an option in the settings) ?
    Thanks!

    DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

  • How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

    how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

    First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
    Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

  • 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.

  • Embedded audio and video files with Acrobat x Pro

    Can an audio or video file be embedded in a document with Acrobat x Pro & opened with Adobe Reader xi?

    You can place video or sound files onto the pages of a PDF file using the Multimedia button on the Tools Pane > Content Panel. The result is called a Rich Media Annotation, and will play back on the desktop versions of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
    The files have to be compatible with Flash Player, so videos need to be in H.264, FLV or F4V, and audio files in MP3.

  • I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy.  How can i fix this?

    Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
    Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
    Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
    More later.
