Hey,
I'm working with imovie 11,
After I detach the audio, how can I delete the video, and put the audio when just presenting a still picture?
When I choose only the video and delete, both audio and video are deleted...

I am needing to slow down a video in iMovie, but how do I keep the voice normal?.. HELP..thnx

When your making a movie trailer in iMovie, it gives you the scenes where a video should be played, and I was wondering how you can delete a scene that you don't have a video for. I have tried all the ways that I know of, so please help. Question: how you delete a scene that you don't have a video for?

HI,

I'm finishing an iMovie edit (for the first time:) and just need to import music from an existing MP4 video I made to use as background music. It seems pretty simple - I dragged the clip onto the edit timeline and was prompted to add music only. I did this and I can see the clip below the video image highlighted in green. But when I play it I can't hear the music soundtrack at all.

I'm sure this must be a simple resolve but not having any luck so far. Any advice?
Thanks

I would like to be able to detach the audio as a wav file so that I can work on it in sound forge. How do I do that? Thanks!

Hey,
I was wondering if there's any way to cut music from a video without cutting any of the talking audio?
Would be a great help as I need to find this out for my Dissertation.
Thanks,

Hi there! I have some video footage from my iPhone that ended up with music playing on it that I did not put there- don't know how it got like that or where it came from. I imported it to iMovie to make a video and now I need to know how to get that music gone! Help! Thanks :)

actually- there's no music on the original clip on my phone anymore- just on the clip in iMovie.... very frustrated!

Hi, I would like to use only the track sound from a video interview that I shot with my iPhone to be able to edit it on images. Is it possible to do that with iMovie? Thank you.
