Adding a blank audio track to a .mov file

Hi,
I have a .mov file that I am trying to convert to MPEG-1 for burning to a VCD. I converted two .mov's that had audio in them, but now need to convert three that do not currently have an audio track. (Converting using ffmpegX)
I've created a blank audio file in Quicktime that is longer than any of the .mov's. Is there an easy way to add the audio track from the audio file to the .mov file without one? I could probably do it in iMovie if I can't do it with Quicktime, but would rather avoid that....

Open both files in Quicktime. Select All on the blank audio file, copy, then switch over to the MPEG-1 file.
Make sure the cursor is at the beginning of the film, then select "Add to Selection & Scale" from the Edit menu.
That should do the trick.
All of this, though, only works in QT Pro, which is very much worth it!
Good luck

  • Appliaction to replace audio tracks in QT movies

    Helloo,
    I am looking for utility to replace original audio tracks with a new audio tracks in exisiting QT movie.
    Technically, there is a folder A with QT movies (Video and Audio track in each) and folder B with Audio files only (length of movies and audio files is the same). I need the utilty that takes file from folder B and replaces na audio track in QT movie in folder A with it (matches by file name).
    The reason I need this is that I've got a QT movies and I need to enhance an audio tracks. I can extraxt audio files, send them to audio batch processor, get them back... and I need another batch application to exchange original files with the new, processed files.
    I know it could be done with Apple Script, but I feel that something ready to use could exist...
    It would be great if there is a single applicaiton that can do it (audio extraction - processing - exchange).
    Thank you.
    Peter

    Hi,
    yes, I know. But I am looking for a way how to automatize this task. I am talking about a thousands of short movies and I need to process their audiotracks. I don't want to do it manually ...

  • CS4- Adding a modified audio track to video - help needed ASAP

    Hi!
    I have an exhibition coming up in a couple of days and I interviewed some people for that, but they all wanted their voices changed.
    Now, I imported the avi. file and put it on the timeline. (30 fps [640x480 (1,0)], 11024 Hz - 8-bit Twos-com)
    I extracted an audio file in wav, then changed the pitch in audacity and then imported the new audio clip to CS4. But I cannot group or export them in any way. What is going on? What am I doing wrong? I need the video work with modified voices but I can't get it to work. I am losing my mind and running out of time. I would really appreciate any help!
    PS: I am a total Premiere noob. So please be patient with me.

    But I cannot group or export them in any way.
    Not sure that I am following you here. Do you mean that Audacity is not allowing you to Save_As?
    Now, if you wish to have all of your Audio Tracks into one WAV file, just do an Export, choosing Export Audio only, by unchecking Export Video. Check that Multiplexing is set to None, where it should default with Audio-only.
    Open that file in Audacity, edit as needed, then Save_As, and Import that edited Audio file. Drag it to the Timeline in a clear, Targeted Audio Track of the proper channel-count, and then you can Mute the existing Audio Track(s) in the Audio Mixer, or just turn each Track OFF in the Track Header.
    If you mean something else, help me understand what you need to do.
    Good luck,

  • 2nd Audio track from merged .m4v files does not play on iPod Touch

    I used Handbrake to encode two .m4v files of a concert DVD that spans two DVDs. I then took those two files and combined them into Quicktime Pro to create a single .m4v file. The file plays fine in QT but when I transfer the file to my ipod, only the first audio track (from the first file) plays. Once the video from the second file plays, the audio is silent. Here's what the movie properties look like:
    Enabled Name Start Time Duration Format
    ====================================================
    Y Video Track -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- H.264
    Y Audio Track1 -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- AAC
    Y Audio Track2 -- 1:27:28:87 -- 0:54:24:02 -- AAC
    N Text Track -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- Text
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    So basically, anytime I combine more than one mp4 file in QT7 Pro, it will always create multiple audio tracks when doing a simple "save as" (vs. export as)
    Not exactly. QT has it own set of rules. As you noted, the video track had no problem merging into a single track. This would not have happened if you had merged video compressed differently or added an image/stretched image sequence. Not knowing your specific work flow or settings, I hesitate to make any claims here. Frankly, when merging audio, I normally prefer to use GarageBand when I want to create a single master audio track and still retain control of the other tracks for mixing purposes. However, I could just as well have exported the audio in the original file using QT Pro to a single audio file and used that audio track to replace both original tracks keeping both the original video and chapter tracks. It is all a matter of which work flow you consider easiest for a particular job or project.
    If I've exported out my chapter file as a plain text file, how do I go about reintegrating that withing the final mp4 file using QT?
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/chaptertracks.html
    The above link is a somewhat old tutorial explaining how to create a chapter text track from scratch. Since you already have the chapter track, just refer to the steps indicating how to add the text file back to your main movie file. (Ignore the step that says to set a "Preload" option as this pop-up has been removed.)

  • How to extract one of several audio tracks from a .vob file?

    Hi guys,
    hope you can help me, i'm looking for a solution for hours now but can't find one.
    I would like to know how to extract one audio track from a .vob file when there are different tracks/languages on the dvd? Media encoder does it very well, but i can't find the option for choosing the right audio track/language for extraction. Please help
    Kind regards
    Alex

    This is because the OMF specification requires mono audio files
    It really depends on what you are trying to do with the two tracks as to the best answer as far as 'grouping'
    You could select all the clips on both tracks and right mouse click and select 'group'
    You could send both tracks to a bus
    You could export the two tracks to a stereo file and bring that back into the session
    Lots more things I'm sure but a little more detail as to what you are trying to do would help

  • Mute Audio Track of Embedded .avi File

    Using iDVD, I created a slideshow with many pictures and .avi files. Because I'm using a background soundtrack, I would like to mute/delete the audio tracks of the .avi files embedded in the slideshow. Is this possible? If so, how?

    hey there Mark,
    you'd need to use iMovie. i prefer to build slide shows in iMovie6 as it's easier to use use for "more advanced editing". if you have iLife 08 you can dl iMovie 6 here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html.
    good luck.

  • OMF CS4 issue - Seperate audio tracks output as identical files on Pro Tools import

    OMF issue - seperate audio tracks outputs as identical files
    I am having some serious trouble when trying to export an OMF from a p2 DVCPROHD 720p50 project in CS4, and importing it in Pro Tools. The project is complex with over 12 hours of HD-footage and many sequences and titles.
    When exporting an OMF from a thirty minute sequence to work with the audio in Pro Tools, all four tracks turn out identically in Pro Tools on import. However, the tracks are different in the Premiere Pro CS4 timeline.
    We have tried both encapsulated and separate audio, we have tried importing the timeline/sequence into a new premiere project and exporting an OMF from the new project with no success. However, when we started a new project and simply imported one of our p2-files, and exported an omf, it worked fine, with 4 different audio tracks in Pro Tools.
    We also tried exporting 4 different OMF-files (one for each track), while having deleted all the other tracks. This remarkably also resulted in four identical tracks in Pro Tools!
    The OMF does not exceed the 2GB limitation.
    Can anyone help us? Have a project due on Monday, and need to start working on the audio ASAP.
    FMP10SH

    The "Source Channel Mapping - Default Track Format:" is set to "Use File". We recorded with a Panasonic HPX301 camera, which has three XLR-inputs, and we used all of them. So two of the tracks are identical recordings (from one of the XLR-inputs), while the two remaining are different, so in total there are three different tracks of oudio, all mono.
    When we put a p2-file into a sequence it has four tracks of audio linked to it, with the corresponding sound. So everything seems to be in order in Premiere, but for some reason they end up being four identical tracks in Pro Tools. As mentioned we tried making a new project with the same settings as in the project we are currently working, and we imported a single p2 clip. We exported a sequence with this clip as an omf with all the same settings, and this time it worked. The four tracks were different in Pro Tools when the OMF was imported. So it seems that the complexity of our project, or some setting that we are not aware of but have been altered by a mistake has made this project impossible to export correctly as an omf.
    But if there are any solutions to this we would be deeply grateful!
    thnx

  • Adding multiple audio tracks to a multicam file

    I am editing a multi cam production- and have 8 different audio tracks- separate from the movie files. I have made a multi cam file but any ideas on how to add all 8 tracks of audio to this multi cam file- then edit- and then question no. 2: how do I then export all edited audio tracks separately for my sound engineer to mix them? Thanks a lot

    Hi Tom- thanks for your response   I´m not quite sure if you get me right... I have made a multicam file- consisting of 4 cameras- and now I want to add 8 audio tracks that are not connected to any of the cameras- but that were recorded seperately- and have all these 8 tracks lying underneath all the camera angles- being synced up with the cameras internal mics- but I want to edit the 8 audio tracks and finally export them. Thanks

  • Adding slideshow to audio track downloaded from Itunes

    I can get to the part alright about adding the slidshow to the audio track but then I can't do anything. I can't save export nada. It is really fustrating as I got it to a point where I like the slideshow but then it just won't save the file. Not at all. I check the info and see the audio and video are there but I can't go any further.

    The music downloaded from iTunes is protected and thus you can't export it to another form. You may be able to make a CD from a playlist that includes the tune and then re-inport it that way in unprotected form.

  • Clipping Audio Tracks for Short Movie

    Thanks for your help. I have one song I want to use as the soundtrack for my two-minute sports highlight tape. I want to start the song about 15 seconds into the actual song track, as the first part of the song is actually just talking. How do I edit the sound track so that when the movie starts the song will begin at the :15 second mark? Thanks!

    don't drop the track 'anywhere' into your project (=this creates a background-music, project is all greenish), but upon your clip#1 - a green bar appears, representing the audio track. you can simply grab 'n drag the beginning of that bar to shorten it.
    don't hesitate to use iM's Help feature, how to handle 'audio'.

  • Can AppleTV play multiple audio tracks in a movie?

    I recently discovered (pretty much by accident) that iTunes and the iPhone supports multiple audio tracks in a single m4v video file. So I've started ripping my DVDs using Handbrake with both the main audio and the commentary track.
    In iTunes and my iPhone I can swop between the two at will, but I cannot find any information on how or if it's possible to switch audio tracks on the AppleTV. Does anybody know?
    I'm using an AppleTV 2 with up to date software and iTunes 7.6.2 set up to sync.

    this same question was asked in the last 2 days (and may even be still listed on page 1).

    however, the answer is no.

  • Dropping an audio track onto a PSD  file imported into Final Cut Express

    I created a credits page for my video in Photoshop and then imported it into Final Cut Express (Version 1.0). I then duplicated part of an audio track from another sequence (My friend's father playing the organ), and dropped it onto the Photoshop credits sequence. It displayed and played nicely in Final Cut Express, but did not create an audio track which was visible within Final Cut Express. When I exported the sequence as a .mov file and then imported that into iDVD, it also displayed and played correctly in iDVD. But when I burned the DVD, there was no longer any audio with the credits. Any suggestions?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Thanks so much for your response. I selected and copied tracks A1 and A2 from one sequence and then pasted them into the credits (Photoshop) sequence. No audio tracks appeared in the Photoshop sequence, but we could hear the audio when we played the Photoshop sequence.
    There was video associated with the original organ track, and we did not lock off the video when we dropped it into the Timeline, although there didn't seem to be any problem with the video. We did not Mixdown the audio either, although no audio tracks were displayed in the Photoshop sequence. I will try both of those things and see if it makes a difference. Thanks again.

  • Where is the audio track in a dvdproj file?

    I have a number of old iDVD projects stored on hard disc that I need to convert to a useable format.  I've been able to find the MPEG compressed video files by right-clicking on the .dvdproj bundle and opening the Contents/Resources/MPEG.nobackup folder, but the files have no audio track.  Where is the audio track stored?

    Unless you've created an archive iDVD project file the audio is only linked to the project from wherever you kept the files when creating the project.

  • Snow Leopard iTunes 10.5 will not play multiple video tracks in QuickTime .MOV files

    I recently discovered that Snow Leopard iTunes version 10.5 won't play multiple video tracks in a QuickTime .MOV file.
    Both video tracks appear and play correctly when playing the file in:
    - QuickTime Player 10 or QuickTime Player 7.7 on the same Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.3.1 on another Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.5 on Leopard or Windows 7
    So I think the problem is iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard (although I haven't been able to test iTunes 10.4).
    First test file is two 640x480 video tracks side-by-side (total dimensions 1280x480):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-1280x480.mov
    All I see is the first (left) video track, and not the right one.  iTunes "Get Info" command incorrectly reports the video dimensions of the file as 640x480.
    Second test file is two 640x480 video tracks played one after another (duration of 10 seconds each):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-640x480.mov
    All I see is the first video track, and although it reports the correct file duration (20 seconds), the second video track never appears -- it simply freezes on the final frame of the first video track for the last 10 seconds.
    Anyone else see similar behavior?  Unless I'm missing something, I suppose I should submit this as a bug to Apple.

    I have the same problem, i tried re-installing, converting it to AVC H264 but none seems to work so far
