You hear a pop or gap during a title or transition in iMovie

After applying a title or transition, you may sometimes hear a pop or brief period of silence between the transition and the next clip.

This can happen when using iMovie versions 3, 4, and 5.

If you experience this, try extracting the audio from your video clip to a separate track before applying the title or transition. Follow these steps:

 

  1. Select the affected clip.
  2. To undo the title or transition you have added: From the Edit menu select Undo, or from the Advanced menu select Restore Clip.
  3. Select the video clip in the timeline.
  4. From the Advanced menu, select Extract audio. The audio for the selected clip will be moved to its own audio track in the timeline.
  5. Add your transition or effect.
