If you want to get the original dialogue back into the new bounced movie, you have to extract it before (copy movie audio to sequence) and include the new track in the bounce. This works great when the movie and the chunk start at the same running time. When I want to make my music to start later, the original dialogue is out of sync with the picture...Has anyone an idea?

Taking a guess here... Have you fiddled with the Set Start Time for the movie? I thought this affected the delay while synching to pix on PB, but it may affect bounce as well.

An example: movie and sequence start time are both set to 10:00:00:00. Now I change only the sequence running time to 10:10:00:00 so that my music starts 10 minutes later with the picture, which also starts 10 minutes later (I left the movie start time at 10:00:00:00). But after Bounce to Movie the generated movie starts at 10:41:40:00...(it should start at 10:10:00:00)!!!

What I did wrong was that I used the .mov file iMovie created for my work. After converting the original iMovie file to a .dv file everything works fine!

Scoremusic, I just ran into a similar issue. So, when you converted to the .dv file, did the audio reappear? Is there any way to get imovie to export with audio? How did you convert to a .dv file?

Thanks,

I use "Command-Shift-E" selected "Quicktime" and in the pop-up "DV-Movie". The new .dv file includes audio and after importing the movie into DP you can use "copy movie audio to sequence".
