Hey,


If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.


A great resource for finding answers to questions like this is http://www.imovietutorialhelp.com


You can ask questions just like these and they will be answered for you. If you need a tutorial video made or anything like that, you can go there as well and ask for a video to made as well. Check it out.


If you still have questions on how to do this, they can help you for sure.


I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my video or link.

What you can do is click on that soundtrack and go up to CLIP- SPLIT CLIP. What that will do is split your soundtrack clip so that you then can just mute that one part of the clip and it won't effect the rest of the clip. Does that make sense? You will even see the soundtrack split in the project timeline. Let me know if that helps!


And yes, you can go to a lot of other sites for tutorials and information regarding iMovie.

ok, well just by having a fiddle I have found out how to do it.

Click on the audio clip

settings button

Audio adjustments

Under the heading 'Ducking' tick the box for 'Reduce volume of other tracks'

then if you want no background noice slide the bar to 0% but if you want to hear the other sound track slide it to around 15 - 30%


kinda helped myself here! but thanks anyways.

Sorry if you have already started your video, but I am sure it will help others!

and I will be using your website again


Cheers

Will
