Newbie vidder

I have searched the comm's memories and came up empty.

First vid. Using IMovie 6.0.3. CANNOT figure out how to edit sound- read tutorials, followed directions. Even did what they said- moved the little purple buttons up and down, watched the little % button move along with it. But when I saved the vid? NOTHING CHANGED.

All I want to do is make the song STOP when the vid stops (IE, song is longer than I need it to be for the story I want to tell). Sweet Mary Mother of God, someone tell me what to do.

Thank you in advance.

I don't know if this will be any help for you, but I made a few quick screengrabs.

I assume this is how your audio looks as it extends out past your clips?



What you need to do is go to the end of the song (until the icon makes a ] sort of line and then basically just drag it until the song shrinks more in line with the length of your clips.



And to get the song to fade out instead of abruptly ending, you would adjust the volume until it is down to 0%.

That's exactly what I'm doing...but the purple wave forms are not disappearing like it shows in your photo when I do it. Am I not dragging the right thing? I get the up and down straight line... but at no point does anything really change.

Also, OMG thank you for trying to help. Sorry, I am totally insane at this point over this.

OH OH OH! I think I got it!! You can't have the 'control volume' thing on at the same time!! EEEEE.

Thank you again. \0/
