iMovie Audio Frustration...

[Chuck Kay]

I am getting quiet annoyed at some iMovie audio editing problems. I am 
using iMovie 4 but as i recall these same problems occurred in other 
flavors. It's great to be able to edit audio levels within video clips 
but here is my problem. I am editing a basic wedding video. Anytime I 
try to fade in audio at the beginning of a clip, I get this audible 
distortion when playhead crosses over between the preceding and current 
clip. It's like a little 'blip' sound artifact. I am pretty sure it is 
coming from the embedded audio from the video track (the one I'm trying 
to fade in). Also, when I paste video over an existing clip, the same 
thing happens. I'm aware the audio is extracted in a paste over but 
when playing the resulting clip, again, there is a very tiny, fast, 
ANNOYING little blip between the clips. All I'm wanting to do is paste 
video over an existing video track w/audio to get my second camera 
angle. But there's still that little blip there. Arrggh....I've tried 
every trick I know, any tips, help?? I've got Final Cut Pro, but I 
don't know it and this project is due in a week.
