recombine iMovie clips from miniDV without volume problems between them?

I am using iMovie to import miniDV videos. The tapes are pretty old (~20 years) and there are numerous errors on them. As a result, iMovie creates lots of individual clips. When I try to recombine them, iMovie makes the volume fade in and fade out between each clip, and it's horrible. Is there any way to get iMovie to get the sound to line up?

I've also tried using QuickTime Player to record the video. That works pretty well for most of my video, but not for all of my video.

Solution 1:

This could have two reasons:

1. Transition between clips
   
   If you can see that symbol between your clips you have a transition between the individual clips. Delete the transition and the audio blending is gone.
2. Audio blending
   
   If you see these inverted parabola arms on the audio it means you have an audio fade out and fade in. Drag from the end of each fade to the beginning/end to your clip and it should be gone.
