Audio goes to layer 4

Whenever I put in a video clip that contains audio, the audio drags itself to Layer 4... Its kind of annoying and I wish it would go to layer 1 automatically, is there a solution for that? Thanks.

You are most welcome.
If you have need for some "standard" Audio Tracks, you can set those up in your Default Sequence settings. For those, PrPro always places 1-channel Tracks first, below the Audio/Video centerline, then 2-channel, then 6-channel, then Sub-Mix Tracks, and finally the Master (to the specs. chosen).
I have my Default Sequence set to 2 2-channel, 4 2-channel and a 5.1 Master, as I seldom am working with 6-channel Source Files.
Also, one can Add Tracks, and can position them almost anywhere, except for below the Master.
If one is lacking the proper Track, with the necessary channel-count, if the Source Clip is dragged to the Master, a proper Track will be created, though that will be down the stack.
You are now working beyond those comments, but others might benefit, should they have the same question and find this thread later on.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Is there a way to fade video to black and keep audio going?

    I'm using iMovie 09. What I'm attempting to do is have a long fade to black transition at the end of the project that will obscure the last couple of seconds of video, yet keep the audio going during the fade till it ends.
    To put it another way, I'm trying to ditch the last 2 or 3 seconds of picture, yet still keep the music that is going on underneath it.
    Is there a way to do that?

    Sorry, Karsten, I'm having trouble explaining this clearly. Here's what I'm attempting to do: I want to make a short example clip from a silent film to upload. Below is a link showing how this clip ends.
    The thing I want the viewer to see last is the boy and girl sitting on the bank, not the litter of pigs.
    However, I don't want to chop the music off to get rid of the pigs. So is there a way to fade the video to dark around :11 or so, and then have the music finish up in the dark a few seconds later?
    In other words, how do I get rid of the pigs without chopping the end of the music off?

  • Video playback stops while audio goes on

    After several month of not making any movies, I am trying a new project. Right of the start something is wrong, freshly imported unedited line of clips is not being played correctly in iMovie preview window - video stops in about 30sec or so, while audio goes on. If I switch to full screen, it gives me another 10sec of video, then it stops there, too, and nothing brings frozen video back to life. After restarting the app, everything repeats.
    Needless to say it's impossible to edit.
    It also does it with the older projects, which used to work just fine.
    Here is what I've done so far:
    1. Repaired permissions on startup disk and checked it for errors.
    2. Repaired external disk, where the project resides (even tried to move the project to internal disk with no avail - same results), and where I have 80GB of free space.
    3. Replaced external disk's directory, using DiskWarrior.
    4. Deleted iMovie preferences file.
    5. Removed all third-party plug-ins I had.
    Nothing works.
    QuickTime Player seems to play imported clips fine, so I am guessing, it's an iMovie bug. Any practical suggestions would be highly aprecciated (by practical I mean, not "reformat your hard drive and reinstall everything" or "buy a faster computer" or "invest in FinalCut instead")
    I've been a loyal iLife user since the very beginning, and I swear, iMovie in it's buginnes is only challenged by iDVD.

    It is a common problem for G4 800 machines and I've been told Apple is investigating the issue.
    Try putting your Mac to "sleep" for a minute and then try the file again.

  • During editing on MacBook Pro 2.2GHz i7, audio goes out of sinc with video

    I have been having a lot of trouble with audio going out of sinc after I have edited a 30 minute program.  When I make a second cut, I find that the audio has jumped under the first cut about half an inch back, and this happens with every progressive cut.  Then after "sharing" to dvd the audio is out of sinc with video throughout.  I then have moved each one of these overlaps back into position and still have a problem with audio out of sinc.
    HELP.

    I was using a different laptop for post since the macbook was busy "sharing" to dvd, which, since I closely examined each cut at highest magnification to fix them ended up making video watchable.  Not every cut came out of sinc, but several do.
    It is both sides of the cut which come out of sinc, the right side laps over the left and then I noticed when I corrected them with greater magnification that the left side was moved left to cause a gap.  I guess I just have to closely examine each cut when done with the whole video since also these overlaps are caused when I zoom out to view the whole length of the timeline, most of the cuts will overlap at that moment.  Really strange.  I had trouble fixing these but less trouble whe I turned off the snap in option.

  • Video and audio goes out of sync when imported into Premiere

    I have some videos ripped from some DVD that an acquaintance made, with an open source program called HandBrake, with the default "high profile" settings. When I play it both in VLC and in Quicktime, it plays just fine, but when I import it either in Premiere or in After effects, the video and audio goes out of sync (the video ran faster than the audio and when the video stops, the missing audio is trimmed).
    Video info according to Premiere (in Spanish but you may get the meaning).

    "HandBrake, these days, is almost entirely about H.264 video, aka MPEG-4 Part 10.  HandBrake is migrating to quality-based encoding."
    Hmmm.  I use HC Encoder to make my DVDs because it's the only free encoder I've found with the much more professional Constant Q encoding option.  But HC Encoder doesn't do HD sources for Blu-ray, so I've been wondering if I'd be stuck with the lame-*** consumer CBR and VBR options most encoders provide (including Adobe - hint, hint) when I eventually start working in HD.  This is a very interesting program, Handbrake.  I will have to check it out.

  • When audio goes out of sync..

    In FCP7, when audio goes out of sync with the video track it came from (even when they are unlinked), a red warning box is displayed on the audio track and tells you how far out of sync it is, which easily enables you to resync.
    Well, in FCX my audio went out of synce, but i didn't know it until i played back a segment i was working on, where i spliced two audio tracks and video tracks together. Right now i'm trying to fix the one audio track so that is synced up with its parent video track, but so far i'm just guessing that it's a good sync rather than knowing FOR SURE whether or not it's truly synced back up.
    Is there any kind of work around, which enables you to resync in a manner similar to  before FCPX?
    Thanks

    I am not sure if your problem has been solved already but here is the way to do that:
    select in the clip in the timeline the part were the audio should be return in sync. use the blade-tool to make that part a seperate clip.
    Higlight this clip in the timeline and use shift-F to highlight this clip in the browser. There it wil show up partially of course.
    Use only the audio and put that part under the selected clip in the timeline where you need the original audio. remove the original out-of-sync audio.

  • Audio sync problems with greenscreen  I have replaced the camera audio with my zoom recorder audio and it is in sync. When I apply greenscreen the audio goes out of sync. What am i doing wrong?? So frustrating..Thanks, Peter

    I have replaced the DSLR audio with audio from my Marantz recorder and it is in sync with the dialogue. I apply green screen and the audio goes out of sync. Cannot seem to make it work. what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Peter

    Thanks for the reply. I don't have time for this. is it time to switch to a different editor?

  • HELP!  Audio goes out of sync after export!

    OK, folks. I need your help. I have a looming deadline of THIS FRIDAY to hand this in.
    I have a finished multicam edit of a show that runs 1 hr 20 min. It plays back perfectly in the timeline, all video and audio perfectly in sync. Looks and sounds exactly like what I need.
    When I export the video as an H.264 file, the audio gets out of sync with the video by 13 frames! But that's not all... It doesn't happen to the entire audio track. There's about 50 minutes in the middle of the video where the audio goes out of sync. The audio at the beginning and ending of the video is lined up perfectly in sync. It's just the middle section that gets screwy.
    What do I do?!
    This has never happened before, and I've worked a lot with multicam in Premiere Pro CC before this. Never been an issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere, and also deleting all media cache files, but still no dice.  I also tried copying the clips into a new sequence in the same project, copying the clips into a new sequence in a NEW project, nesting the sequence... nothing works.
    My setup:
    MacBook Pro Retina (Rev. A)
    Premiere Pro CC (latest version)
    Panasonic GH3 footage in 1080p 24p AVCHD timeline
    3 cameras & 1 audio WAV file in Multicam
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    OK, I figured out how to fix it:
    In Premiere Pro CC, click on SEQUENCE > DELETE RENDER FILES.
    Try exporting the movie again.
    It worked! I exported the same sequence, and it took a long while to re-render the audio files, but when it was finished exporting the audio and video were in perfect sync. I'm not sure what caused it, but this fixed it, so hopefully anyone else having this issue can save a lot of time by reading this.
    Cheers!

    Hi johnfan1939,
    Although this article specifically mentions the iPhone, many of the steps apply for the iPad as well.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:Restart the iPhone.Restart the iPhone.
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

    I have the feeling there isn't a real solution for many of us who are having this problem.
    I just gave up and exported to the desktop, and then used YouTube's uploader, which works fine.
    Sorry, I don't have a fix, but wanted to add my voice as someone who has tried a lot of ways with his iMac, and figured it wasn't worth all the hassle. YouTube's uploader lets me upload many clips at once, add commentary, and then go do something else, sure that it will go ok. I had the iMovie-YouTube link working for a bit, but then it went all haywire again.

  • Mini audio goes away.

    My wife has a Mini that's only a few months old.  When it sits overnight or for an extended period the audio goes away.
    Rebooting brings it back to proper operation.  Sound level is up on the speaker control so that's not changing. 
    It just goes quiet until she reboots it!

    Long shot, but next time it happens...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

    I downloaded an audio book in iTunes, but after 10 minutes the audio goes silent for the remaining 5 hours - what can I do?

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that audiobook and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Stereo audio goes to A1 and A17-destination track problem??

    So I'm working with stereo audio that I've recorded via the Voice Over tool that was originally in my timeline. I recorded a ton of different clips of voice over so in the end, I put them all into the Browser, renamed them, and changed nothing else (I deleted them from the timeline).
    This doesn't happen with any other audio than my voice overs, but when I import the stereo audio into the timeline, it goes into A1 and A17 (I had 16 tracks of audio, none of them empty, so it created a new one just for the second track of my stereo audio). Or if I put the first of the stereo tracks into A2, the second one goes into A16, same for A3 it goes into A15, A4 and A14, etc.
    I've looked through all the user preferences and there's nothing that will change it. I've tried unlinking them and that doesn't work (I assume because it's stereo audio).
    Someone please help!
    Thank you in advance,
    ACC

    You need to connect the Source "patch panel" buttons to the correct Destination Track.
    In the illustration below the source audio 1 & 2 goes to destination 1 & 2:

  • 10.6.8: audio goes out of sync in Netflix streaming and *.avi files

    Hello,
    This began happening a couple of weeks ago and it's maddening!  There haven't been any software changes or anything recently.
    At first I thought it was just a Netflix problem, or perhaps an internet connection problem.  Audio will at some point during play, 'skip', and play the same audio over again (i.e., "Hello, Ja-Hello, Jack!"), and from that point on, the audio is lagged behind the video just a bit. 
    Then I began watching some *.avi files on my HDD today, and the same thing is happening with them, too!  If I reload the browser or close and reopen the *.avi file, the audio will start out in sync again, but at some random point during playback, it will happen again.
    Hope someone knows what's going on!  Thanks!

    For anyone who's interested, I found a solution to this problem. Once imported into Encore, the leader in on the video and audio files cannot be trimmed at all. (I had been trimming the beginning of the video and matching audio file to eliminate the 8 seconds of dead space at the start of the clips.) Although the trim took effect immediately in the Encore timeline and I could also watch it in preview in sync, exporting was another story. The audio track seems to retain the trim when exporting but the video track does not, hence the 6-7 second delay between audio and video.
    I reimported the files to my project and left in the 8 seconds of dead space at the start and voila! The video and audio match up when exported.
    Ideally the trim tool would just work as its supposed to through export and all, but at least I found a solution I can work with.
    (As a note, the trim works just fine in export on Encore CS5. I only had this problem with Encore CS6.)

  • The audio goes BEEP BEEP BEEP instead of playing the soundtrack

    Hello again, from me who am still a newbie.
    I have some footage taken on a different camera from mine, in DV not HD fomat, PAL still, which was imported using iMovie 08 and which plays happily in that sw. In FCE when I play it in the viewer it's all fine. If I select a part, and put it on the timeline, and then play bthe timeline I get BEEP BEEP BEEP instead of hearing the people speaking, as I can in the viewer.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Secondly- if I may - once I can hear the voices and not the beeps, I need to rip out the soundtrack and convert it to mp3. What would be the best way to do this?
    TIA

    First I'd try rendering the audio. Sequence -> Render All -> Audio. But, if you're going to be working with the audio track, you should make the file match FCE's needs.
    Now, that you ask, I don't think I've ever done this. I just did a quick test and this worked for me. De-link the audio and video tracks by clicking the small green chain icon on the right side of the timeline. It's just above the video tracks. Then single click the audio track you want to work one. From the File -> Export -> Quicktime movie. Name your file. Then open the file in Audacity and save it as a 48,000 Hz AIFF file. Back in FCE, import and place the audio track where you need it.
    I did not try this, but I think it'll work if you have FCE version 3.5 and Soundtrack. From the file menu, export as a Soundtrack file. Make the changes in Soundtrack and the file should be automatically changed in FCE.
