Hello:
I have been taking some videos of a band with my Canon camera.
My question is, can GarageBand edit the music in the video, ie, equalizer, compression, etc?
I have GarageBand version 6.0.5 ('11) on my mac, but I think I need to purchase the update of $4.99 to have that functionality?
I'm new at this so any help is appreciated.
If there is another app, let me know.
Thank you,
David

When you import a video into your GarageBand Project, GarageBand automatically extracts the audio track from the video and puts it as an Audio Region on a new Audio Track. You can treat that Audio Region with the same Audio FX as any other Audio Region.
Although the Audio Region is locked, you still can trim its end or split its, but not move the audio around, which you wouldn't want to do anyways to not mess up the audio to video sync.
Hope that helps

Hi David,
If you haven't already put the files into GarageBand, first thing you want to do is convert your video files into audio files. You can do this my right-clicking the file and selecting "Encode Selected Video Files". Go to the drop-down menu next to settings and select "audio only". This will convert your video to an MPEG 4. Now all you have to do is drag and drop the file.
Audio editing can be found by clicking the tracks and clicking the smart controls button (top-left corner; it looks like a knob). Already there is a couple of controls as well as an eq editor, but additional ones can be found by pressing the inspector (the i on the top-left corner), scrolling down, and opening up plugins. There, you can find a plethora of plugins.
Hope this helps!
