I made three videos on my iPhone 6+ and need to combine then and edit the audio in one to add beeps. I don’t have a Mac at this time to use imovie on so it has to be free or demo software I can run on a PC. ---

We have out full names in one part and need to bleep that out. > [@](#): > > Apply an Audio Fade Within a Clip > Lastly, here’s an old annoyance with previous versions of iMovie for iOS. You want to fade the audio of a clip so it’s not abruptly cut when the clip appears or ends. The solution isn’t as elegant as the method of accomplishing this in iMovie for Mac, but it works: > > Tap to select the clip you want to edit. > Tap the Audio button in the lower-left corner to view the audio options. > Tap the Detach button. A copy of the audio portion of the clip appears below the video clip, and the clip’s original audio is muted. > Tap the Fade button that appears at the bottom of the screen. > Drag the yellow triangle at the start or end of the clip to set the duration of the fade (see Figure 3).

I just pulled a movie from my iPod Touch on to my PC last night, and edited it in Windows Movie Maker. If you haven’t downloaded WMM, [it’s free](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker). Plug your iPhone into your computer. Go to My Computer and open it up like any disc. You might have to root around in folders to find the video or videos but they’ll be there. Copy them to your computer like any other files. Open WMM. “Add Files” to your project. [Here’s search results that has several YouTube examples of adding bleeps in WMM.](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22windows+movie+maker%22+bleep&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) When you’re done, make sure you export the project to a movie. Don’t just save the project then try to share the project file. You’ll end up with a WMV, I believe - not sure if it’ll do anything else (could search for that answer too) but you can upload a WMV to YouTube or Facebook. ---

I’ll have to try to get WMM on fiancee’s computer because Movie Maker is not available in Windows 10 ☹ ---

> [@MannyL](#): > > Thanks for that link. I’ll have to try to get WMM on fiancee’s computer because Movie Maker is not available in Windows 10 ☹ It’s not installed by default, but (I think) it should be possible to add it - it’s part of [Windows Live Essentials](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-live/essentials) - which installs on Win8, so it ought to work on Win10 (unless there’s something specific to stop it)
