[MacDV] Sound Bug in Imovie 4

[Frank Fitzpatrick]

I use Final Cut Pro and not iMovie at all, but there are likely many 
similarities, so I'll try to help.

In FCP, you can unlink the audio tracks from the video by selecting the 
clip in the timeline and then choosing Unlink under the Modify menu. 
Then simply click once on the audio clip in the timeline to select it 
(or stereo them) and hit the delete button on your keyboard.

Second thought: In FCP, after unlinking and then deleting from the 
timeline, the audio still exists in the Browser, so it can be used 
again. To fill the empty sound space, I've used corresponding audio 
edited in after the speed change so it plays back at normal speed. 
Doesn't fit what's going on, but will match the ambience of the game.
