Hello All,

Im very new to iMovie and creating Video's, so please be gentle with me :p

I have added a large mixture of images and video clips - all fine there. I have now added a music clip and I want to line up the beats with start of each clip/image. I have entered the actual beat markers but as you would guess they do not line up with the clips/images. I have read various web related articles and it would seem that i have done this the wrong way around. i.e. I should have added the sound first followed by the clips/images.

My question is, is there a way of syncing up the markers with the start of the images/clips, with the clips/images already added ?

Hope this makes sense

Thanking you in advance
Mike

Yes, just edit the clips so that they line up with the beat markers. That is, click on the right hand edge of your first clip and drag the edge to the left until it lines up with the marker. Repeat for the rest.
