Extract audio from video for iMOVIE 09'!

[raytheirishman]

Hey all,

I have a video file that I recorded on my video cam...all I need is the voice not the video...is there a way to get the voice only from the video? I am working on this project in iMovie. If there is a way to overlay the video with a video loop instead I will do that...I just need the voice...If not maybe there is a way to extract it...

normally I would do a voice over with the lady but she is not here and all I have is the video...

THANKS,

this will let you choose a video file as an input and if under the "TO" field you select mp3 or whatever audio format it will just rip the audio to a standalone file.

In iMovie 09, select the clip you want to extract the audio from (in the project timeline pane), control click and select "Detach Audio" from the menu. That will extract the audio from that clip and leave both in the same spot of the timeline, within iMovie, no need to export audio only. You can then delete the video portion of the clip and use the audio over another clip, with the ducking enabled on the target clip you want to overlay.

Actually, instead of ducking it would probably be better just to lower the volume of the target clips audio, unless there is audio that will interfere, then just "detach" the audio from the target clip and overlay the new audio.

Hope that helps.

@Brewologist: How do we delete the Video portion of the clip? And I know how to add pictures to the project, but how would it work if we wanted to glue the Audio part and images? Thank you.
