Where is audio fade in new iMovie 10.0.1?

Just got my new iMac loaded with the new iMovie and am feeling my way through it (wish they had better tutorials). One thing i am unable to find is the manual audio fade in and fade out controls that were obvious with iMovie '09. I really hope they didn't do away with those for some reason--it's a key tool for managing audio in video clips and music. Thanks for any info.

I have a movie made up of 10 discrete clips right now. I was able to find a tiny dot to adjust the fade in on only two of the clips. No dots at the end of any of the clips to drag to make an audio fade out. I blew up the size of the clips as big as possible and hovered over the audio portion of each one, but no sign of a tiny dot any place except those two clips. (All the clips are from the same speech so I don't think it's the source.) Any ideas about finding those fade in/fade out dots? (Have to say the old way was easier--less squinting.) Thanks.

Audio fade in on iMovie

Im trying to start my movie with a black screen with text and have my audio from my first video clip start with that black screen as well, then fade into the video. how is this done?

First you need to enable the Advanced Tools in the Preferences, go to the iMovie menu > Preferences > Check Show Advanced Tools:
Try turning on the 'Waveform' button in the upper part of the iMovie window:
It sits right next to the zoom slider underneath the Project Browser in iMovie '11. And in this screenshot above it's colored in light blue when it is turned on, just click on it to toggle it on and off. Once it's turned on you'll see the audio waveform underneath your video clip like this:
In the blue area near the upper left and right corners are two little pointy 'handles' that designate how the 'fade in' and fade out rates occur. Drag the handle from the left corner towards the middle of the wave form. That will fade in the audio as the video clip is playing. But to have it 'fade in' underneath the video clip requires one more step and that requires the Precision Editor. <CTRL> + click on the video clip and choose Precision Editor.
In the lower half of the iMovie app window you'll see a timeline with the transition point between your black background and the video clip. Turn on the Audio waveform tool in this Editing window as well. In the video clip section drag the little audio offset bar in the 'waveform area' below the video clip to the left:
The amount you drag it to the left determines how quickly the audio starts while playing underneath the preceding black background you have placed on the timeline. So drag it as far as you would like. I don't know how well this will work if you have a 'cross-dissolve' transition placed between the black background and the video clip. This may not work for you if you are also using the cross dissolve to fade the video as well.

How to fade in and fade out audio in the new version of Imovie?

how to fade in and fade out audio in the new version of Imovie?

There is a tiny dot at the beginning and ending of an audio clip that can be moved to adjust fade in and fade out.

Fade audio in new iMovie?

I'm trying to fade audio. I have seperated the audio from the clip. I'm also using an imported audio clip of a song.
I am unable to fade the audio. Used to be one could put a marker or two and then gradually slope/have audio lower between the markers.
Now all I can see is the ability to lower audio for the whole clip. I could chop up the audio clip and have each one be lower and lower....but that would be a crude and dumb method. What is the right way?

I have a movie made up of 10 discrete clips right now. I was able to find a tiny dot to adjust the fade in on only two of the clips. No dots at the end of any of the clips to drag to make an audio fade out. I blew up the size of the clips as big as possible and hovered over the audio portion of each one, but no sign of a tiny dot any place except those two clips.

New iMovie Audio Ducking

After upgrading to the newest iMovie (version 10.0), I've found what seems to be dramatically less control over "audio ducking." Where in previous versions I could set a clip to duck all others to a broad range of mixes, this newest version of iMovie seems to limit that control.
Even by boosting a clip's level to 400% and setting the ducking level to it's lowest setting (strange that there's only a slider and no longer a percentage shown), my audio mix is still unacceptable. In other words, my background music still gets in the way of the audio of my primary clip.
I'd like to use this new version of iMovie but find that I must use iMovie '11 (version 9.0.9) in order to have more flexibility with ducking.
Is there a setting or solution that I'm missing? Or is there a fix? Thanks in advance.

I think I found it in the iMovie help.
Adjust audio
iMovie has a number of tools you can use to automatically enhance the audio in your movie. You can boost the volume level of quiet audio in a clip, apply an equalizer preset, reduce background noise, and lower the volume of other audio playing along with a clip.

Hide
Lower the volume of other clips that play at the same time
When you have background sound or other clips with audio playing at the same time as a clip you want to hear in the foreground, you can automatically lower the volume of the other clips so that they don’t compete with the clip you want to hear.
For example, if you record a section of voiceover audio, you can have iMovie lower the volume of background music and other clips while the voiceover clip plays.
In the timeline, select the clip whose audio you want to hear in the foreground.
Click the Adjust button in the toolbar.The adjustments bar appears above the viewer.
To show the volume controls, click the Volume button.
Select the “Lower volume of other clips” checkbox.The volume of the clips that aren’t selected is lowered.
Drag the slider to set the volume of other clips relative to the volume of the selected clip.

Where are old iMovie files that were in "Movie" favorites before I got new iMovie and Mavericks?

Just installed Mavericks and bought the new iMovie. Looked for labled finished movies folders that I had kept in Movies on my HD favorites on OS 10.6.7, but that Fave doesnt exist in Mavs. Where can I find the labeled folders with all their working files? Some unlabeled files do exist individually in All My Favorites but seem of little help without labels.

I meant "All My Files"

Where is the advance preferences in the brand new iMovie? it used to be in that button area. i need to do picture in picture!

Cutaways in new iMovie 10.0.1 for OSX 10.9

How do I make a cutaway in the new iMovie that comes with OSX 10.9? I have three separate clips I want to toggle between. I have one on top of the other like is suggested in "old" iMovie tutorials, but I can't find a way to add on a third, nor can I find a way to keep toggling which is the dominant clip.
Another problems I'm having is that one of the clips was shot on an iPhone, and it has different dimensions than the other clips. When it is selected as the cutaway clip, it's just showing up on top of the clip underneath instead of showing on its own.
Finally, I am trying to get the audio (a band playing) to synch up on all clips. Then I'll mute two of the three. How do I move clips tiny fractions? It seems that the clips are always a smidge ahead of or behind where they're supposed to be.

I have a movie made up of 10 discrete clips right now. I was able to find a tiny dot to adjust the fade in on only two of the clips. No dots at the end of any of the clips to drag to make an audio fade out. I blew up the size of the clips as big as possible and hovered over the audio portion of each one, but no sign of a tiny dot any place except those two clips.

Music Audio not working in Imovie

Hi
I have been using I movie for quite a few months now. i was making a movie
and i was mp3 audios. everything seemed to be working perfectly fine, but when I want to burn a cd
the audio just stops working, like there is no sound from where its ment to come from.
i am really desparate for help since i need it get the project finished and i need to get the songs working in order to burn.
would you soemwhere be able to help me out
thanks,

Try making a new iMovie Project and import as small a part of the file again.
If it has audio in QuickTime it should now work in iMovie.

TS2289 Audio in iMovie 11 files but missing in sections when shared to iDVD. The movie and audio plays fine in iMovie but my burned iDVD movie is missing some audio .

I imported a movie into iMovie 11 from a Canon Vixia HFR 300 SD card with no problem. I have a new iMac running OsX 18.8.4 I think. I added chapter markers and shared it with iDVD. And burned it to a DVD. Towards the end of this 30 minute movie the sound just stops. I do remember some screen came up when I wanted to burn DVD that said something was wrong with files but I couldn't figure what do to fix it and allowed me to continue. Any ideas?

Hi
Either the problem is in iMovie or in iDVD
two notes
No Audio in iMovie
Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.
Work around -
• Select needed audio to one new playlist
• Copy out this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
• Use this in the movie-project
Other origins are
1. strange / alient file formats as -
• .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc
• Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this
2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -
• Close iMovie and other programs
• Start GarageBand
• Make a new GB-project and play some notes
• Close GB and Save
• Now try iMovie again
3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.
a. in iMovie pref. - deselect ” Playback via Camera”
b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this
without me knowing why.
4. iMovie’08 & 09 & 11
• Toggle audio-scimming by cmd-K
Stuttering audio and video
1. FileVault is ON - Turn it off
2. More than 50 audio files in a movie-project
Mix down to one audio clip
3. Project is stored on one (USB) external hard disk - should be a FireWire one
4. the External hard disk is not Mac OS Extended formatted - but
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange and this will not work for Video.
5. To little free space on internal boot hard disk.
I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space when project is imported and edited and this goes for
4x3 SD Video. For 16x9 HD my guess would be about 5 times more at least.
Neither Mac OS, iMovie or iDVD can address any other hard disk than the boot drive for it’s
scratch files. (Unlike Final Cut Express/Pro where You select scratch disk/s)
6. Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
Minuscular - - 176x144
Mobile - - - - - 480x360
Medium - - - - 640x480
Large - - - - - - 720x540 960x540
HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
•OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

New iMovie

Hi sorry I've big problem. You know in the older version of iMovie were always timeline, and in that timeline u caould edit volume in time. I mean I want in the middle of the clip turn the music down and then a few seconds after turn it up again. Can I reveal somewhere the timeline or not? Or how can I do it? Thx for help

Thanks, Jon, for your simple solution to the problem.
Another way offered by iMovie '08 is to create a short voiceover recording — a voiceover of silence or of your slow count "1, 2, 3, 4..." — that you place over the portion of the video clip you want to soften. iMovie '08 lets us use the voiceover to automatically soften the video clip "beneath" it. The voiceover has a setting to "Duck" the audio of the video clip.
1. Place the cursor in the video clip where you want the reduction in volume to occur.
2. Create the voiceover recording. Trim to the desired length.
3. Select the voiceover clip, then press "A" to adjust its Audio.
4. Set the voiceover volume to zero (optional).
5. Turn on the "Ducking" checkbox, which lowers the volume of the video clip.
6. Adjust the In/Out fades that affect the video clip.
It goes without saying, of course, that these solutions don't require iMovie 6. Opinions might differ on the user interface, but I think the iMovie '08 solution is more elegant than dragging those pesky audio beach balls in iMovie 6.
To learn about other cool features of iMovie '08, I suggest viewing the excellent iMovie '08 Tutorial.

Where is timeline viewer mode in iMovie 11 like iMovie HD?

I only have clip viewer mode? Where is timeline viewer mode in iMovie 11' like iMovie HD? for audio and video timing I would just click on the clock symbol. HELP?

Hi
Bad news - There are non (Exactly as in iMovie 1 to HD6 or FinalCut)
Good news - There are sort of - at least project is presented in ONE row.
• Click on a specific iMovie PROJECT
• In this window - top right hand there are two small symbols - one blue three squares and one with two brown red symbols. Click on the three blue squares one.
• to get the Audio - under this there is a small wave like symbol - Click on this.
But still this view has so many quirks that a person familiar with iMovie 1 to HD6, FinalCut, Adobe Premiere and Avid can feel a bit of serious frustration. (at least I do)

Audio fade in

when I add audio it keeps putting about 30 secs. of silence at the beginning of the song. I have loaded different songs and opened new movies. How to I remove the fade in

Hi lisacillustrate,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues with the trim or fade in on audio clips in iMovie, you may find some of the information in the following articles helpful:
iMovie '11: Set the beginning and end of a sound or music clip
iMovie '11: Adjust the rate of audio fade-in and fade-out

Audio Sync problem with iMovie/iDvd

Hi guys
I am using imovie HD6. I have been working on a project for a few months now...it runs around 20 minutes.
I exported it to idvd, burnt and watched it recently - when it was around 15 minutes long and all audio was fine.
I have since added about 5 minutes. The audio plays fine when watched on my mac in imovie - however last night I burnt it to DVD using idvd and the audio is about half a second out of sync in one of the two interviews I have in the early stages on the projects. Both interviews were made using the same video camera. An interview in the new part of the project has the same problem.
I always use the same camera and have about 3 finished projects with interviews where the audio is fine.
Can anyone suggest a way to correct this problem?
Many thanks
Ross

Like many others, the sync issue is when taking a long clip or clips to iDVD to make a disc. The movie runs fine in the iMovie preview, but slowly goes out of sync in the final iDVD version. I used a Panasonic miniDV camcorder, 16-bit sound, SP record mode. I also tried extracting the audio in iMovie, then taking it to iDVD - no help. Then I tried breaking the movie into shorter clips (still with the audio extracted), saving it as a quicktime movie, then taking it into iDVD - no help. Although the breaking into shorter clips was done after the video was already imported. So, after all of this not working, I've now scrapped all of the imported video and started over. This time I set the import preference to automatically break the video into 9-minute clips as it's being imported. I read in the forumn that that's the "true" way to break into shorter segments - not after import. I'm just now in the process of seeing if that will help matters. Any suggestions? I'm really at a loss for ideas since I did the original recording in 16-bit sound. Everything I've read seems to indicate that 12-bit sound is the main culprit with out-of-sync issues.

Remove audio fade on transitions?

I'm trying to insert some text slides I exported from PowerPoint as .png's and insert them into an iMovie project. I have video of a talking head, and I want to maintain the audio from the video but in certain sections I want to show the slide and not the talking head. Here's what I have tried:
1. Split the clip where I want to show the slide instead of the talking head.
2. Detach audio from the relevant clip.
3. Drag slide onto the relevant video clip and choose "Replace."
That seems to work as far as replacing the talking head with my text slide while keeping the audio. However, when I add a cross dissolve transition to soften the visual change, there seems to be an audio fade out/in. I can't seem to get rid of this.
If there's a way to fix this, or a better process, please let me know!
Thanks!

Try Cutaway instead of Replace. There should be no need to detach the audio, but it does no harm.
