Your tutorials are incredible. You've saved my life so often. Every time I search for a topic, I choose your tutorials over every other one on the same topic.
You are simply the best at explaining this kind of things. I think I have told you before, but you are a great communicator. Thank you so much. Muchísimas gracias!
I use iMovie for editing my videos and basically taught myself, which means there are holes in my knowledge. This video of yours just filled some of those holes. Thanks for the concise and easy to follow instructions.
Thanks again for great info. Is there a way ... or an APP ... to optimize an audio file? I don't use microphones, just iphone video and often the person's voice is overwhelmed by background noise and would love tips on how to improve or extract that noise (other than hitting AUTO on sound function of iMovie).
Question, will the last automatic ducking technique also apply to other audio tracts that may be in place like folio sound that have been added? As I like to manually set there levels.
New to iMovie and this video was really helpful. What is the point in the upper music bit attaching to clip, are there any times that would be more beneficial or should you always use music well?
Your video about iMovie are so great. With the trick i learn on your chanel, I understand how it can me more powerfull , than everyone think . Learn to use, before going to another editor. Love Imovie since ImovieHD with my DVcam.
Thank you Michael you are the most brilliant person on YT. I look forward to viewing and saving clips that are applicable to my interest/needs. I’ll save this one to my iMovie File. I really look forward to using it.
Your tutorial are a very good for who use iMovie A times ago I found on your channel a video which you created a video, with keynote, where a car running on the apple map and then all have been transferred on the iMove project. Unfortunately I did not found anymore on your channel, could you be so kind to sent to me the link? Tanks Salvatore
What a splendid and helpful video this is, thanks a lot, saves me a lot of time. What I don’t understand is why iMovie in your phone automatically adapts the volume of the music and iMovie in your computer doesn’t…..
Michael, it is so easy to follow your instructions. You do not rush through the instructions. Thank you for helping me make my videos look and sound better. You are simply the best!
Thanks so much! Just discovered your videos and can't wait to watch more. I had no idea about the music well. I've been thinking of upgrading to better software, but maybe with your tips, I can get iMovie to work better for me without having to learn a new program. Question about Range vs Manual key framing -- Range seems so much easier - which do you prefer to use/why?
I have a suggestion which could radically simplify your instructional video-a super easy fix almost anyone can do, that is guaranteed to improve you whole way of working . . . it's called, in keeping with its simplicity level . . . *Remove The Music!* Yes, *removing the music* entirely creates a sparse, Lose-the-Music™, timelessly classic feel to your video which is all due to the revolutionary power of Silenceº.'' It's an amazing new way to instantly set your videos apart from the pack. Try it!
Dear Michael, can you help, I am a subscriber, thanks for your excellent vids. In Keynote how do I stop a slide for 5 to 20 sec. before it goes to the nest on so we can read the info in auto play mode? regards, Jerzy UK👍
Didn't even realize I needed this until I discovered your video. 😂 Loved it! Thank you for the value you provided and love your voice as well! Very soothing and peaceful. Needed ya in my day! 🫶 Liked & Subscribed 💯
Thank you! I’ve been using iMovie for many years. I like it when you gave few options of doing the same thing but with different techniques. I realised that my technique might not be the most efficient way in most cases. By having many options, I can choose what works best and at times implement more than one technique to get the best result. It always good to know more than one way of doing things.
I love iMovie more and more every day. Switching to Final Cut Pro could bring me more problems than it solves. The tool that I know best is the best for my work. Thanks a lot for the good work, Michael.
Thanks Michael, a lot of your instructional iMovie videos are in my iMovie playlist to I can refer to what I forgot. I especially like your lower thirds video. I use it on most of my videos. I create my lower thirds that I reuse across most of my videos. That is until I accidentally deleted my iMovie Library. LOL - no problem because I have your lower thirds instructional video at my finger tips. I've been adding to my videos in an effort to make them more interesting. I have a very short term memory so if I am not constantly practicing something I forget it. That is why I originally started making RU-vid videos. That way if I have to do something again in the future, I can refer back to my video and remember how I did it the last time. Thanks again for all the work you put into your RU-vid channel. I know feedback helps keep a person going to know their work is appreciated. Enjoy the journey - cheers
Thanks a lot for this very helpful video! Trying things out now and it really helps me. Although when I drag music to the music well (so not attached to video clip) it is still effected by my voiceovers and other sound in the video. How is that possible?
@@MacVideoMagic the music clip is less loud where there is audio. So it looks like if it’s attached to the video, so the video makes “ducks”. Although it’s on the music well.
Thank you for another great video. I always learn new things from you! Question… the “black clips” How do you create one? I can see how it would be useful as a “spacer.”
Great video. In your experience, are voice overs typically lower volume than recorded clips. I used built in mic and speakers for my recorded Zoom session but added voiceover between chapters using a 3.5 mm lapel mic.
As always, fabulous content, clearly delivered! I’m not clear, does the audio track need to be in the Music Well (which I’d never heard of!) in order to do the automatic ducking? Btw I always prefer speech videos with no background music because I’m easily distracted by it … but can see how this technique is helpful, in fact if people used it more, maybe I wouldn’t be so distracted…
Doesn’t have to be in Music Well for automatic ducking. The ducking feature will reduce level of any audio clips around the audio clips you select to be featured.
