Nudge/Move just audio track to? (to sync)

Can you post a screen shot of a portion of the timeline? What happens if you right-click the video and select "Detach Audio"?

Geoff.

you managed to create somehow a 'compound'.clip in iMovie - which version was that??

As you see in your screenshot: the added audio is in a yellow 'container' with the cams material...

=> can not moved separtley …

Plan A)

Apply your cams material first to the project.

Then select your audio and hit Q - as in 'q-nnected' .. ok, note2myself,don't try to be funny in foreign language, Karsten, it's 'connected'

or ...

don't drag the audio clip ON the existing video, but 'under' that track.

should allow you to move the green bar independantly from video ....

(just noticed: there's no shortcut for nudging, as in FCPX, . and , allow there a very precise movement...)

Plan B)

double click that compound in your Project - what happens?

Thats weird - as Karsten says you appear to have created a compound clip with should only be possible in Final Cut Pro. So what happens if you try and detach audio? (my earlier suggestion). You should get a separate audio track (mauve in iMovie 9) that can be moved.

Hello. I only have experience with iMovie 10 and iMovie 6(HD), not 11. the other day I did exactly the same with iMovie 10 - filmed a concert and recorded it also with the H4N. I made a new event and imported the video (1080 50p converted with pavtube). Then I chose "new movie" and dragged all the video down to the lower zone (where you compose all your clips). I then imported the H4N wav file with the import command (cmd-I). It appeared at the very bottom of the video files in the upper left area where all the imported video shows up. I marked it and dragged it down to the lower composing area and it came in too just fine, underneath all the video. I could click on it and hold and drag it to left and right just fine, no problem. This was without detaching any audio from the original video file. Hope this helps. Dave.

No I don't understand the compound clip. I've never seen this before, but what happens to the lower audio track (the one from the audio recorder) when you detach audio - do you get two detached audio tracks or does it still stick to the video?

Your version 9 of iMovie is <cough> a "regular" <cough> one? I mean, AppStore, <cough> legally purchased one? ... 😉

And a word about version numbers:

we talk about iMovie11=internal version# 9.08, or iMovie09=internal version# 8,xx

What is your internal version, or even 'built' number (ust click "about iMovie)

I found an old folder, containing my ol' iMovie 11/vers.9, and, trying all sorts of key-combos and tricks, I can not create a compound in iMovie!

(btw: would be rather funny, if just me can create compounds! In the FCPX section, I'm well known as the one claiming "Compounds are evil!" LOL)
