In this video, D.Lee Beard explains how to add music and iMovie sound
effects to your video project, how to duck the audio of specific
tracks, how to fade audio in and out including adjusting how quickly
it fades in or out, how to separate the audio from a video clip and

Awesome vid. Extremely helpful. I'm new at all of this, and needed the pointers. Thanks!

[AsktheTechies]

@DontShootDood You bet. Thanks for posting! :-)

i spent an hour on imovie and learnt everything youve said since the first video in the series... :|

[AsktheTechies]

@cheeseytuna1234 Sounds like you are good at figuring this out yourself. That is great! I too was able to figure it out on my own, but some people find computers intimidating and so I tried, in this series, to give a thorough slow paced tutorial on how to use just about every feature, but I broke it up into categories so people could watch just the video topic that they were having difficulty with as well.

[cheeseytuna1234]

@AsktheTechies hey! thanks :D the reason why i came to your video's were to find out an efficient way to reverse then play forward and back again ect ect on my project, i literally started with imovie 09 yesterday, after not bein able to figure out final cut pro,, and the best way i figured was to play forwards, copy and paste the clip, change to reverse, then copy the original, then the reversed. is there a better way?? much appreciated! :D

[AsktheTechies]

@cheeseytuna1234 It's cumbersome, but it sounds like you've found the best way to do the reverse/forward sequence that you describe.

[TheAndrach]

Do you know how to delete the music because for me i cant delete the music

[hazzastylesvampire]

also when creating lyric videos can you create glow text?

[hazzastylesvampire]

can u do a tutorial on blending two video clips together so that they fade into each other but you can still see them

[bamboozel1234]

imovie is fucking trash working with audio. thanks for help

[TheiKawii]

thanks soo much for this video its great.. but do u know of a site where i can get free sound effects the i movie ones donot have the "boom" sound i am looking for!

[ipodjackerxpert456]

ive been trying to do covers on guitar but the stupid fade out has been messing it up. it wont let me customize it, and its blocked out. how can i fix this

[palanticdreams]

alrighty sir. i'm stumped. How do i adjust the audio to play EXACTLY where i want on the video? (live acoustic performance simultaneously recorded on garageband/imovie)

[brayanxw]

awsome resolution thx men!

[BobbyDigital1980]

What if you have two clips, an establishing shot, and the second a shot of someone talking...How do you make it so that the first few seconds of audio from the second clip starts playing during the last few seconds of the first clip?
