I imported a bunch of clips from my camcorder into iMovie. I am now cropping them into the timeline. Works great. I then put a song to my "movie", but I can still hear all the ambient sounds from my clips. Can I, at this point, remove ALL the sound from my imported clips somehow? Thanks. I just want to see the movie with my song as the audio, no sounds from the actual clips.

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.
Basic iMovie help....PLEASE!

What you want to do is highlight all of your cropped clips and select "Extract Audio" from the Advanced menu. Then the audio from the clips will show up in one of the audio bars on the bottom. You then select those and delete them.

His idea sounds easier, but if nothing else, you can adjust down the audio in each clip. It should be displayed in the timeline on the clip as a horizontal bar. Mine defaults at about 60%. Just click at the line in the beginning of the clip and zero it.
This is a good method if you want to raise and lower the volume in certain parts, and duck the audio music under the voice.
Best,
Brian
