Might be best to actually type the email address, rather than copy and paste. iMovie may not like that.

Are you accessing the Fonts from the top left of the Title box (where you type the Title) - it says "Show Fonts". I clicked on that and all the iMovie fonts came up with the colours. I used the default font and colour for my title - don't like messing too much in that area. Some titles don't allow you to change fonts or colour!

If you still there have added an audio clip how do I get it to cover whole movie will only cover about 1 min Dragging right side only moves the 1 min to the end can't change source duration from 1 min How do I get it to repeat? It's just the sound of waves Thanks

...and how can I remove the sound that was recorded underwater? Me heavy breathing !! to replace it with Audio sound of the waves

I will have to get back to you Rick - bed time for me! It's 12:45am Friday morning here!

In the meantime, have a look at the Apple Tutorials and iMovie help. I think the Tutorials can be accessed from the Help Menu. Lots of good stuff that will help you learn more about iMovie.

Also, have a look at Ken Stone's tutorials;

Ok thanks am just posting audio clips in several times but must be easier way I'll check out your suggested tips I have been using the help within iMovie but not finding the answers

Thanks again and sleep well

Hi again Rick - hope you are having fun working your way through the tutorials!

Earlier you said:

..and how can I remove the sound that was recorded underwater? Me heavy breathing !! to replace it with Audio sound of the waves

To adjust the volume on all the clips in your project go to the Menu - Edit>Select All then click on the little gear icon on the bottom left of the clip, select Audio Adjustments, then in the pop up reduce the audio volume slider to zero or whatever level you prefer. Or if you just want to reduce the volume on one clip just select (click on) that clip and follow the same procedure.

Sounds like (no pun intended!) you've figured out how to add audio tracks. Adding the track a number of times is fine, providing you "join" them up carefully so there are no blank gaps. Click on the audio track (underneath the video) then click on the little icon and select "Clip Trimmer". This will reveal a window containing the audio track and showing the wave forms. You can easily drag the ends to get rid of blank areas at the beginning and end of the clip.

After trimming each audio clip, it's then easy to drag each track to effectively "join" on to the others. Alternatively, if you don't want to go through this process, simply drag tracks over each other to "mix' tracks. Each track will assume its own position under the video. It's easiest to do all this if you adjust the number of frames per thumbnail to give you an extended view of the clips. Just drag the slider at the bottom right to show half a second or incrementally up to 30 seconds for each clip. There is also a setting to show All, giving you a single frame thumbnail of the clip.

iMovie also provides you with an audio "ducking" feature, which can be very useful when manipulating audio levels for individual tracks. But I won't go into this here - best to read up on it first and/or watch the tutorials!

Best of luck with all this Rick - enjoy iMovie '09.
