This tutorial was incredibly helpful! 🎬🔊 I always struggled with syncing audio and video in iMovie, but your step-by-step guide made it so much easier. The tip about using the speed editor and aligning the peaks was a game-changer for me. 🌟 Do you have any advice on how to handle audio syncing issues when dealing with multiple video clips recorded from different angles? Looking forward to more of your tutorials! Thanks for sharing your expertise. 👍😊
Thanks for the feedback Morrning Group. Glad to know it helps and cheers to aligned videos! Right so for multiple clips what I imagine I would do would be to first have the video edit looking the way you want it (at least length wise), so Clip 1, Clip 2, Clip 3 etc all lined up nicely in the timeline, and then (and this is going to be tiring), you're going to have to chop up the recorded audio so that the start and end of each piece of chopped up audio have the same words or audio as the end of each video clip, Clip 1, Clip 2, Clip 3 etc, and THEN you're going to have to use the speed editor for each one of those audio clips which matches to the video clips. So use the speed editor in the way I showed multiple times for each piece of audio. Hope that helps? There's probably no way around that except to do it manually step by step for each piece of video from different cameras/angles. Life would be simpler if it was just one camera and one audio recording, but yeah, if it's many clips it's probably going to have to be manual.
Hey Latasha, glad to hear that. You're most welcome! I put this video up as an experiment as I never knew what might be useful to others and what might not be. Maybe I'll make more technical how-tos! Have fun with your video editing! Nice channel about money you got there, I definitely need that. I'm a new subscriber lol!
this is a game changer for my audio editing thank you - I have subscribed and look forward to future content - I do have a question - how do you lock the audio to a video clip - I remember in older versions of iMovie you could just sort of swipe up from a point on the audio and the little green line would lock to the video clip above. now I cant see how tis is done. anyway great content thank you
Hey thanks for watching @TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam 🙂 and thanks for the comment too. I’ll get back home and check if I can find a way to do that and update you! Thank you for subscribing. 🎉❤
Hey I just checked around, and to my knowledge the answer might probably be non-useful for you, but I'll tell you nonetheless since you asked. The only way I know to do that is to export the entire file, and then work with that new file, which WILL have the audio attached into the video as one file, if you for some need the externally recorded audio to appear in the blue part!
Hey thanks for the question! I’m not sure what you mean by 2 “audio streams” but if you mean the audio that’s coloured blue and green, the blue one is the audio that was recorded by my camera, WITH the video. The green coloured one is the audio that my microphone which you see in the video, recorded. Sometimes people use a dynamic mic like the one I did to record directional audio (which means many things, but it’s primary use (directional audio) here is that the echo from the room is cut out in the audio from the microphone, resulting in a “cleaner and more professional” sound, which makes for “better” videos). Let me know if that’s clear and/or if you have any more questions... 🙂
@@timmothieortega3366 I can understand your frustration. So iMovie isn’t changing the speed, it’s that the audio recorded by the camera which is attached to the video, can sometimes be different from the audio’s sample rate (or to put it in layman’s terms - the speed) of the recorded audio that people record with an external microphone so that it is a different recording from the one recorded with the video (aka different from the video’s audio). The reason people record it twice because sometimes, their standalone microphone and its audio recording, sounds better than the audio from the camera or video camera or video, which is being used to record the video. Then… during editing, we sync up the audio that was recorded separately to the video. But since the sample rate was different (technical term), both audio files (the extra one and the audio from the video), may not line up. So this is how you make them line up. Both the camera’s audio… and the externally recorded audio. Hope that helps!

Let me know in the comments if you've had any issues with your audio and film editing in iMovie, and I'll see what I can do to help! Thanks!
Excellent video! Thanks. I was hoping to find something great and I found your video. 🙌👍
@@ThorJeppesen Thank you so much I really appreciate that! Hope you’ve got your syncing issues sorted forever as far as iMovie is concerned.

@@zephyrkhambatta thanks that gives me something to start with
Why do you have two audio streams?

@@zephyrkhambatta you explained it perfectly, thanks.
@@clydedigital welcome, any time. 🙏🏻🙂💫
why is iMovie changing the speed of the audio to begin with? seems incredibly stupid, what the actual fuck
@@timmothieortega3366 I can understand your frustration. So iMovie isn’t changing the speed, it’s that the audio recorded by the camera which is attached to the video, can sometimes be different from the audio’s sample rate (or to put it in layman’s terms - the speed) of the recorded audio that people record with an external microphone so that it is a different recording from the one recorded with the video (aka different from the video’s audio).
