pining music in imovie 10.1.12

Hi,

An audio track that is placed in the audio well immediately below a video clip will automatically be coupled to the video clip. You will be able to see the little green coupler, as in the screen shot below:

However, there are several audio wells that can contain audio clips. If you put the audio clip in a lower audio well, other than the one immediately below the video clip, it will not be coupled to the video clip. As you can see in the screen shot below, the audio clip is placed in a lower audio well, and the coupler is gone.

Each audio clip that is added will couple to the video clip above it. It doesn't matter whether the audio clips are side by side. If you want to change the place where it couples, hold down the Option and Command keys while clicking along on the audio track The coupler will move to wherever you click. If you want to detach the coupler, put your cursor on the audio clip and, while pressing down, pull it down to a lower audio well until the coupler detaches from the video clip.

The only way to merge togher the audio tracks themselves, into one big sound track, is to place them into a newly created project and export them out as an audio-only clip, that you can then import back into your original project. You could also export them out as an audio-only clip from the original project. Audio-only is an option under the Format heading in the export window.
