To lower or mute the volume of a video clip to make the background music the dominant audio, click to select the clip and then click on the small blue-and-white cog icon for the Action menu. If you have already added a background audio track, it appears as a green or purple bar with a shaded background behind your video-clip thumbnails. When you have your video open in the Project browser in iMovie, select the clip you want to adjust. Like many video-editing programs, Apple’s iMovie ’11 gives you control over the audio levels for the individual clips that make up your movie project. In iMovie ’11 for the Mac, how do you lower or remove the original audio from a clip so that the selected background music is the only sound?Ī.
