Hey all. I've played with snap to beats and I love it, but there's this other audio synching problem that I'm having and I wonder if anyone can tell me an easier way to accomplish this in iMovie 09.
I've recorded audio through the line in on my laptop and I want to use that track to replace all of the audio that my video camera caught. I've found it tedious but doable, to simply put the video in a project, disable its sound, and then drag the audio to the project and drop it so that it appears behind the video track. I then line it up using trial and error (the tedious part) by using the clip trimmer on the audio track (which is longer, because I pressed record on my laptop first).
In this scenario, marking the parts of the audio to help me line things up easier has just lead to frustration, as whenever I mark a location (by pressing m) it puts an undesired cut in my video.
The other problem that I'm having is that I then have to take the whole huge clip and export it so that I can re-import it and edit it. Basically this is because I would have to re-synch the audio at every cut that I make (not a whole heck of a lot of fun) if I didn't.
Is it possibly maybe to 'nest' a project within another?
Are there any tricks out there that anyone else knows of for doing this kind of thing?
For the synching in general?
For replacing the audio for editing easily?
