basic editing iMovie

Hi,

There are three ways that you can do this.

1. You can push the two audio clip segments together in the timeline, and they will play smoothly through.

2,You can select the two audio clip segments and Edit/Copy, and then Edit/Paste them into a newly created project. Then share out the new project as audio only to merge the clips, and import the shared out movie back into your original project.

3.Mute all other audio in your original project and then share out the project as an audio-only file (an option in the Format heading in the share box). That will merge the audio clip segments together. Import the shared out audio-only file back into your original project and delete the two audio segments that you started with. Unmute any other audio.

Put your cursor on the audio clip and, while pressing down, slide it along the timeline or pull it down to a lower audio well. If you pull it far down the little coupling that attaches it to the video clip above it will pull off. That way you can delete the video clip without deleting the audio clip, and you can reposition the video clip on the timeline without carrying the audio clip with it.

Here's a shot of the audio clip segments separated.

And here's a shot of the two audio clip segments after they have been pushed together.

The video timeline will play smoothly through the black space between video clips. The black space will not display during play. No blip will be seen. If you put a black background into the timeline and then put your video clips into the upper timeline above it, you will be able to move your video clips freely along the timeline, and there will be no space between them.
