alright guys what I'm going to show you today is how to overlay audio over your video clip
for iMovie I'm gonna and I know a lot of people don't know how to do this even though I know
millions of people know how to do this but I know a lot of people don't know how to do it
because I watched a lot of YouTube videos and the the sound isn't that good ok you have to remember
when I shoot my videos I use this the head cam but these these action cams the sound is terrible on
these things ok it's awful so what you have to do is I just take a smartphone this is the one I use
the iPhone 6 I put a microphone in there but you don't have to as long as you have a shirt pocket
you can just start the recording and just turn it upside down let's stick it in your pocket if
you don't happen to have a microphone but I do so I plug the microphone in start the video on
here and just drop it in my pocket and that way the I'll have the decent sound on there and then
I just fuse that on to the video that comes from the action cam ok so I'm going to show you how to
do that it's very simple okay I mean it's a piece of cake okay so the first thing you want to do is
start the iMovie which is what we're doing right now then you want to go over here the new project
does it movie then you want to go find the video clips you want to use and I'm going
to use this video I've never even posted yet okay you see these two video clips here the
one that says 652 and the one that says 647 well the 652 ones the actual video from the
hat cam and the 647 is the audio the part from the iPhone I actually record a video and stick
it in my pocket okay I don't record an audio track is it's easier actually to do it with
the video track so I just record two videos and splice them together basically that's what I'm
doing okay so first thing you want to do is you want to select that and hit create movie that's
going to be the the video part of it right here so you just go back to the beginning
and then you find where you want to cut it and usually I'll say something like you know what's
up guys or you know I'm doing whatever you know I just whatever that intro is I always
say that's what I used to cue the video that's so the reason I say it actually so you just find
that right there you see I'm messing with the phone getting the phone gettin the phone ready
it's alright guys is what I usually say I remember okay there it is right there so what you do is you
find out when that starts and just roll it back a little hair okay so then right there is where you
want to split the video I'm gonna have to move this up a little bit here so I'm gonna split
that and then I'm gonna delete that first part okay so now that's all that's playing there now
okay so now I got that in there now what you want to do is you want to add the audio part
so you hit plus that's adding and I want to go to video all then I want to go find that audio
part which is right below that that was the 647 so you hit that but then you come over here and
you there's a little option there to use the you know it's a little audio bar graph so you just
use that so we don't just use the audio portion of the video so you just drop that in there like that
now what that will do is go underneath the video track so then you get up here and you click on
the video track again and you go to volume and you want to reduce the volume to zero on that
so you just hit the little speaker and just slide the slider all the way down to zero then just hit
the volume button again so now you just want to hear the volume of the one you brought in which
is going to be a lot clearer than the other one was so you just okay so it's already started so
I just gotta go I gotta go find it here and then that's when I'll split it sometimes you got to
do this a few times so you hit it just right okay I think that's about you can be off less
than a second as long as you're within a second it's not going to be hardly noticeable at all
if it gets to be s two seconds or something like that you're gonna be a little bit screwed there
okay so I'm gonna have to split this audio track right there so I'm gonna hit the split and split
that and then I'm gonna take the first part of it and delete it okay now you'll see that the
audio track is way past that so what you do is you click on the audio track and hit background
so then it'll go right there and sync up with that and now usually the way I make sure that
I have it synced just right is I go watch the video until the quadcopter takes off and then
when I see the quadcopter take off in the sound if it if it jives then I know I have it okay so
what will do is will it'll scroll on here until we see the quadcopter take off and then I'll know
it's jiving yeah that's good it's right it's right on the money okay yeah it's good okay now if you
want to add anything right now to this like an intro or anything like that as long as you have
it like that it's fine but if you try to add something to it it'll throw the thing out of
sync so what you have to do is you have to click on the audio track and put it back to foreground
and make it blue okay because if you was to add a little intro at the beginning the audio track
would have moved over because you had it set at background so it would have moved back over
to where the intro was and it would have thrown it all out of whack so you just got to put that
there and set the audio track back to foreground instead of background then you can add extra stuff
say you wanted to add a an intro or you know something like that you know like one of these
classics here okay so you could just add that to the front of it and don't worry if this little
little thing bleeds there a little bit it just does that because it just meshes into it so it'll
just bring this little thing out there a little bit but it really doesn't affect it at all now
yeah it just kind of bleeds just kind of like meshes it together but if you want to now if
you want to do cuts and stuff in the video you're gonna have to what I would do a lot is there I'm
gonna delete that part right there see you later Popeye okay what I usually do is when I get to
this point I save the video okay and then I bring it back as one combined piece and then that way I
can slice it up and do anything I want with it you know if I want to do any zooms or any cuts or any
of that stuff I can do it then so what I would do right now is I would hit done and just hit this
little box with the arrow pointing up and just go to you know save save the movie here well for some
reason it's not letting me do oh here it is save video that's all I would do and then the option
will come up to go you know 1080p or whatever you can save it to whatever you want now that's
what I would normally do right now let's save the video then I would bring it back into here
is one piece and then you can start chopping and doing anything you want to it so that's how you
overlay that audio track over there alright guys I hope that helps somebody have a nice day you
