What an AMAZING tutorial! Really, really beautiful man! You taught me so much in such a short length of time! Truly a masterclass in UA-cam instruction. No BS, no fluff - just great tips! I'd love to learn anything and everything from you!
Thanks Gary. I've been away from iMovie for many years and didn't realize how powerful it's become. Watching this tutorial motivated me to buy your course and get back into iMovie.
i thought i was pretty savvy with imovie already. you surprised me with a couple things. now i'm gonna have to watch more of your videos. great job. you just earned my subscription
Thank you so much! I’ve learned bunch of this on my ownjust by experimenting but some tips here are really golden nuggets! Thank you for doing it! Gonna watch more!
Is it me or is it Apple? I spend a significant amount of time figuring out how to disconnect audio from Video ... you are the first one to mention the "Music Layer" below my other audio. THANK YOU!
Tried to find out why when I did a VoiceOver on my video, the music track was lowered... I have to start with you first when I search for an answer... wow bro... much appreciated... ❤🙏
This video was very helpful in learning iMovie. I learned a lot! I just wish you could have slowed down a little bit. I had to stop and replay some parts to get everything.
I’ve been working with iMovie for 5 years and my Biggest pain is the audio on my show. I’m loud. My cohosts are not. Using Auto May save me a lot of time. Thank you!
I’ve struggled getting a consistent audio level in projects with 20+ clips, but your ‘copy’ & ‘paste’ adjustments might be what I’m looking for. The volume slider for audio seems to be a relative adjustment instead of an absolute +db or -db level, and with only the slider changing in increments (114%, 123%, 154%…) it’s challenging to get a consistent level from clip to clip. I guess I need to graduate to Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve to get more pro level control of audio mixing. And advice?
Great advice you have taught me some new things! I was just curious if there is a way to set volume for different loudness clips and all be the same. Some of my clips I am right near the camera and others I am stepped away..
Very helpful. I've been looking for a tool within imovie to remove echo, so it's interesting that while there's an effect to ADD echo, there's none to remove it from what I can see?
Thanks for the tips! Is there a way to just have an axle equalizer to edit music on these videos? I know my older version of iMovie did it and I just can't believe that such a simple function isn't included, thanks!
Hi. Great info. Please I am just learning in iMovie. I have a problem. One piece of film. Have added a sound effect from Epidemic but, audio is not long enough for clip of film. So I have copied it 3 times 1 after the other. But, there is a second of silence each time Q how do I get rid of the silence Please. Thanks.
hi I have a question how I can record my video and audio with my Yamaha audio system cause I tried and the sound sounds deferent from garage band with echo from the room, thanks in advance
Gary is there an easy way to make the audio track mono so it won’t come out in just one channel (when recorded USB in QuickTime for example) on playback? Thx, your channel is spectacular!
@@macmost Thanks Gary! I actually figured out a way to do it with handbrake. Of the various options I studied, it’s the easiest. But you’re right, there’s no easy way! And there really should be… hey keep up the great work, we so appreciate your expertise!
Hi.. Thanks for the great video. Do you have any video on adjusting length of the audio (making it lengthier to be specific) based on video clips size? I'm struggling with it since long..
Not sure what you mean. If audio is X seconds in length, you can't make it longer ... how? By adding more? Not sure what you are trying to do here. For instance if it is a conversation, how does that get longer? Or, if it is music, how do you add more? I suppose if it is music you can add the song a second time.
@@macmost ok.. thanks for your response.. I was thinking if there is a possibility to loop the audio multiple times.. but from you reply I presume that is not possible in imovie!?
I don't think I've done something like this with Final Cut, at least not recently. I mostly stick to iMovie tutorials as many more people use iMovie and Final Cut is more for pros.
How do you place an audio track into the background? My video clips are detached from audio clips but the music track is now somehow attached to the video clips.
Is there any gig that I can do to render better AUDIO QUALITY for my videos on IMOVIE? I have a great piece of music in my videos but then when I EXPORT THE FILE the audio reduce its quality, how can I fix it? Thanks!
I sure hope you see this comment since it’s been a while since the video was posted. I have been editing my videos on my iPhone for the past 2 months and I just recently got a MacBook Air. Now I’m learning all over again how to use iMovie bc the computer version is way more intricate. When I add music from the iMovie library on my phone the song covers the entire length of my videos. Which is what I want. However when I add the background music on the computer the song stops when it’s over and doesn’t replay over until the video is over. Do I have to re add the song multiple times until the video is over or how to I get it to replay for the entire length of the video? PLEASE HELP!
I am trying to figure out how to have audio that moves from right to left ear in headphones. I hear it on other videos and I'm really interested in doing the same with my videos (e.g., for meditation videos).
I don't think you can do that in just iMovie. But you can learn GarageBand (also free from Apple) and there is a function in GB where you can edit the soundtrack of a movie. You can definitely do it there. ua-cam.com/video/yAxMlfq3qAg/v-deo.html
Absolutely the best audio tutorial I’ve seen so far! Very cool tips and easy to follow. Thank you!
Thank you for making this tutorial! Fantastic and very helpful!

AMAZING!!!!! wow this is a game changer for me.
I'm very grateful I found you. Thank you!
Honestly wish I came across this video years ago. Answered every question I had AND taught me new things. Thank you!!
I've been having issues with the audio in my videos, this is so so helpful! Thank you so much!
i thought i was pretty savvy with imovie already. you surprised me with a couple things. now i'm gonna have to watch more of your videos. great job. you just earned my subscription
Vey easy to understand thank you .
Cannot believe that this was SO good! I use iMovie once a year, and in 10 minutes you make me feel like a sound technician!
Only two minutes in and you've shared so many gems. Thank you.
Excellent, as always, Gary, thank you. Clear, concise, professional.
And I thought I knew everything about iMovie audio. 'Automation curve' is something I learned today and comes in very handy.
Excellent tutorial. So helpful. Thank you!
These tutorials are always great.
Packed with tons of useful info. Loved it. Thanks for making this.

Very helpful. I've been looking for a tool within imovie to remove echo, so it's interesting that while there's an effect to ADD echo, there's none to remove it from what I can see?
Completely different things. Adding echo is simple. Removing it is extremely difficult or impossible.
Dense Concise Useful Information
Thank you the automation for audio was killing me
excellent!
Too good man

Gary is there an easy way to make the audio track mono so it won’t come out in just one channel (when recorded USB in QuickTime for example) on playback? Thx, your channel is spectacular!
No easy way. You could pull the video into another app, like Compressor, and export it out as mono instead of stereo.

@@priyamghosh39 Just add the audio file multiple times, one right after the other.
TYSM
Do you use iMovie in iPad OS 14?
It seems the waveform is gray-out and can't use it.
Appreciate you Gary! Have I missed a video of you doing this similar lesson with Final Cut?
I don't think I've done something like this with Final Cut, at least not recently. I mostly stick to iMovie tutorials as many more people use iMovie and Final Cut is more for pros.
macmostvideo thank you. Been hooked to your video podcasts for years with my Apple TV.
Good one Gary
Quick question so for the audio volume effect do you ever go pass 100% or is 100 % just right for good quality music for UA-cam ?
Not sure what you mean. What is "just right" is up to you.
How do you place an audio track into the background? My video clips are detached from audio clips but the music track is now somehow attached to the video clips.
I'm using iMovie 10.3
Is there any gig that I can do to render better AUDIO QUALITY for my videos on IMOVIE? I have a great piece of music in my videos but then when I EXPORT THE FILE the audio reduce its quality, how can I fix it? Thanks!
Not sure. The quality should be fine when you export from iMovie. Not sure what could be wrong in your case.
