The Pezman Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hey all. So I was trying to edit a video together for the very first time. Unfortunately, I was an idiot and didn't plan accordingly, so the project ended up being a bust. One reason for that, however, was because I couldn't seem to figure out a way to maintain an audio track from one clip while inserting video from another. I was told that was a Final Cut only feature, but then I recalled all the fanmade music videos I'd seen, with music tracks being linked with video game footage and the like. So I imagine there must be a way to work with audio and video from different tracks in iMovie. Does anyone know what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Mistakes Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I think I can explain the music videos. http://www.apple.com/support/ilife/tutorials/imovie/im3-3.html Step 3 mentions it can take music direct from your iTunes library or GarageBand to make a soundtrack with your video.

The Pezman Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 No, these were years and years ago. Like early 2000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Mistakes Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 What version of iMovie are you working with? http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/mac-apps/14811/Audio-Video-from-different-sources I read from here about placing 2 videos and partially editing one out.

The Pezman Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Alright, that's definitely closer to what I'm talking about. But I'm basically asking how to do the reverse: taking video OUT from a clip when video and audio are already synced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Mistakes Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Maybe I am misunderstanding. First you said you are trying to edit a video together. You couldn't do it because you couldn't figure how to add an audio track to a video track. I assumed this was easy since you could just rip the audio or create it, and shove it in your iTunes library and then import from there. You then mentioned needing to work with audio and video from two movies, thus I mentioned that other thing where you could intermingle the movies, and I assume you can also fully delete one of the videos from it and mute the audio, making Video track 1 and Audio Track 2 be the only ones playing. Now you say you just want to rip audio out of a movie. So which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pezman Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 It's both. There were two sets of video and audio clips. One video had one set of audio, and another video had another set of audio. I import all the video clips into my project, which of course meant the audio was attached to them. I want to maintain the audio from ONE of the clips, while overlaying the video from the OTHER clip, all from within iMovie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Mistakes Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Being I don't know your version of iMovie, I assume you would know what he means and how to do what is said. http://getsatisfaction.com/apple/topics/how_can_i_combine_audio_and_video_in_imovie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
