Extracting Audio From Movies With ILife
Reader James Emrich seeks to remove audio from his movies with one or two iLife applications. He writes:
I shot a bunch of home movies of my daughter at school band concerts and musicals. They are in DV format and each is about 60 minutes long. I would like to extract some of the individual pieces (audio only), import them into iTunes, put them together, and then burn them to a CD so I can listen to them when I'm on the road. Is there any way to do this in either iMovie or GarageBand or both?
The easiest way to do this in iMovie '08 and '09 is to select the portion of the movie from which you want the sound track and drag it into the Project pane. Now choose Share -> Export Using QuickTime. In the Save Exported File As window that appears, choose Sound to AIFF from the Export pop-up menu and click the Save button. iMovie will export a file that contains just the sound track. You can then drag that audio file into iTunes and have your way with it. Repeat for other clips.
