Opposite? (Combining Audio and Video)

[jer446]

I have multiple audio tracks and video tracks in an imovie project.. I need the audio to be combined with the video tracks in order to edit it (the audio is already synced to the video, thus it need to stay together...) how could i do the opposite of this article..

get the audio and video lined up how you want and Share as a .dv

then start a new imovie project and import the video file. it is an uncompressed file with audio and video in one track.

hope this helps. i dont see the use for this, but if you think you can figure it out give it a shot.

should the dv ifle be so large? It is 8gb!

If its a big project them yes .dv keeps it at a very high quality or not compressing (I'm not sure).

video editing takes up a lot of space. I recomend getting a FireWire hard drive just for video editing if you plan on doing a lot. You always want to work with uncompressed video when editing, it makes for a much better final product.

Adding a Soundtrack

Lock audio to a clip

You can ensure a sound effect or any audio clip stays in sync with a point in your video by locking it to the video clip. This is especially helpful in the early stages of editing your movie when you are still moving many clips around. To lock an audio clip to a video clip, move the playhead to the point in your audio clip you want to lock and choose Lock Audio Clip at Playhead from the Advanced menu. You’ll see two yellow push-pins added to your clips to indicate they are "pinned" together.

yeah the locking the clip is what i want to do, but the problem is lets say i edit out a piece of the video, the audio does not get deleted with it. This makes the whole audio track off sync.. Any way to fix this?
