Syncing Sound in iMovie

[jbezmardeekbcoop]

hey is this imovie 11 or 09

[Omango99]

Hi Matt,

I was wondering how you got the mouse to have ripples when you clicked and which screen recording program you used.

Thank you,

Zubii

[TheRealColorzOG]

I do not have that button when i click on the audio green bar. how do i get it?

[mspiyamas]

Wow Your really good man. Thanks god that Youtube world have a guy like you to help us. Big thanks! : )

[djcrawleravp]

3 claps!.. so smart!! that one made my day :D Thanks Matt

[MattsMacintosh]

@djcrawleravp Glad I could help!

[NinfoMusic]

Bam! xD

[zandvlootje]

i'm working in iMovie 09 and i don't see the button. please answer anyone

[hobocamptheater]

@zandvlootje I'm sorry to say that the waveform monitor was a feature first added in imovie 11

[ThatsTechie]

@zandvlootje The waveforms is a iMovie 11 only feature :)

[mgw31660]

when i put it in on a longer video it got out of sync at the end but the begining. Why is this happening. Is there a way to fix this in imovie.

[NewforFunny]

@mgw31660 yes i have done it before! there is a way. I just cant explain it.

[alexsheridan]

Matt, thanks so much for posting. How did you import the audio file? It looks likes you just dragged it in from your desktop??

[MattsMacintosh]

@alexsheridan Yep, you can just drag it to your timeline.

[TheKrrishD]

best tutorials EVR!!!! such a relief to people with only imovie!!!

[manuporrah]

whats the name of the app that you used instead of clap your hands ? DS... WHAT ?

[ThatsTechie]

@manuporrah DSLR Slate. It's not free though... :)

[ThatsTechie]

@manuporrah A free alternative is Hukilau Slate or Marker Slate. I recommend Marker Slate.

[NewforFunny]

@manuporrah DSLR

[MusicSwipe72]

What do you use to screencast?

[rAaliasReal]

Is there no other possibilities in final cut pro X? I think on long videos cought on an event or similar situations... Where you have to capture quick movies... If you everytime have to clap your hands... I hope it exist another easyer way... I bought the zoom h1 after you uploaded your rode/zoom video...

[MattsMacintosh]

@rAaliasReal Well, you could always just look for a distinctive sound and match it to that if you wanted to do it manually. That being said, FCPX will actually auto-sync audio and video tracks. Just select your sound and video at the same time, right click, and select "synchronize clips".

[TheApplenewsguy]

Ok, matt i really need this answered. If i record a video on my ipod touch 4g can i upload it to a mac and edit it through imovie on the mac?

[MattsMacintosh]

@TheApplenewsguy Yep, that's easy to do.

[BassSlayersElite]

Yes i use the bottome timeline too! Bottom timeline buddies!

[Xehanortheartless]

When I first used iMovie, I didn't really see all the possibilities that that app brings... iMovie is awesome!

[FedericoStivan]

Thank you Matt! Today after seeing this video I've used the 3 clap trick...it's awesome!

[MattsMacintosh]

@FedericoStivan Great! Glad I could help you out.

[PaperGlazed]

Three claps - stroke of genius!

[MrMoslehChowdhury]

Great vid Matt!

[MattJTV]

Dear MattsMacintosh, I made a video yesterday that was a two-minute 720p 60fps video and it turned out to be more than a gigabyte. I am new to iMovie. Help!

[thebluecollargeek]

Great video once again Matt! BTW - If you own the Blue Snowball Mic, could you do a comparison of that and the Zoom H1? I already have the Snowball and was thinking about getting the H1 for flexibility. Thanks bro!

[MrBallmer]

Make more Mac Videos!!!

[MattsMacintosh]

@MrBallmer If I did that, other people that love exclamation points would say, "make more iMovie videos!!!". So I'm just going to keep making the videos that I enjoying making. 

[Byakine]

Help me, should i buy a canon rebel T3i or a sony nex-5? Thanks

[megslovesbananas]

I have iMovie '09 and want to sync audio but can't seem to find that button to show the audio waves. Is it even possible to do this for iMovie '09 or do I need '11

[ThomasLindsayy]

you sound like ken block...

[pepejuangomez]

how do you put alot of videos and see them at the same time?

[chatzi09]

@MattsMacintosh I was looking for an external mic you made a video about that, now I was looking how to sync sound up without using fcpx and you made a video about that too. You're too awesome.

[mtchnelson]

Three claps things is super clever.

[HyperblexMedia]

@mtchnelson the reason why directors have clapboards is that they could sync the "clap" from the clapboard :)

[kesagatame]

Looking forward to more. Thanks again.

[kesagatame]

Excellent video as always. Please go back to your video basic series!! The aperture vid was spot on and

[HenricMaverick]

damn !!! i´m 301 (not under300

[moviesunrated]

Can you tell us what you do to colour correct? I forgot whether or not you covered it yet.

Also, how did you make the timeline area bigger?

I don't use iMovie. But whenever I go on it to check something, it rather annoys me to see how damn small the timeline's gone.

[MacHelpMex]

I'm looking forward for more videos like this one :D

[XcodeDev]

clapping is genius

[ConnorTurnbull]

Wow, thanks for the three claps technique!

[ScottMAC57]

I really like these videos, thank you!

[jimbugaty]

What lapel mic do you use?

[SoBeFaith]

Thank you Matt! One request please, can you make a tutorial of the ipad app you mentioned at the end?

[BlueHouseBurning]

Awesome video. Wish I had seen this video a few months ago when I had to edit a wedding video for a friend.

[larrygreenberg]

Thanks for this one.  I've always wanted to know how it's done.

[kkeshav74]

Great vidjeo

[JavyShortProductions]

WHy didn't I think of that, oh well, keep up the great videos! Very helpful, easy, and to the point. Thanks again.

[RyanSimonovich]

sweet tutorial!

[TechnikWurst]

only works in imovie 11 :D :D :D :D :D

[TGITechday]

Oh my gosh I never knew iMovie even had the wave forms things and had to manually just move the audio clip back and forth until it sounded right =O Thanks so much! Definitely going to speed up my post production time!

[MattsMacintosh]

@TGITechday No problem. That's why I make videos like this, to help people out.

[thetechfixer]

cool

[inFever]

Great video! Thanks :)

[tombomdoodle]

Agh, why doesn't Apple let you import DSLR content onto the iPad? If they did that, I might actually post some videos in YouTube.

[AppleAppStore101]

What lens do you use?

[vajksziget7a]

NICE VIDEO MATT! THANKS THE TIPS!!

[CKSpoiler]

now all i need is iMovie.
