Avid DNxHD files with no audio in PP CC playback

I used a Pix 240 to record an EX1r in 23.98 DNxHD 145/1080 to capture some media.
In PP CC, the files playback in the player and record windows, but without audio. The meters move, as if they have audio, but I can't hear it. I've checked the preferences, and everything appears fine.
I can playback R3D clips in both monitors, and I hear audio. It appears to be an AVID DNxHD file issue.
Any ideas on how to rectify this?
Thanks,
Curt

Robodog,
Thanks for the tips. I'm not sure what happened... I had rebooted a few times trying to fix the issue... nothing seemed to work. I'm a PC, Win 7 Pro~64 bit, 64GB of RAM, SR2 Mobo, Nvidia 6000, Red Rocket,
I had checked the mapping, seemed good to go!
I got so frustrated after a few hours of trying to get it to work, I just shut the system down and went to bed. I booted this morning and everything just worked. No idea what happened there.
I do appreciate your efforts! Thanks!

Premier Pro 5.5 - Avid DNxHD file

Using PC with 24 GB ram.
I have been searching the forum, but I still don't find a solution to using Avid DNxHD files from Black Magic Design Hyperdeck Studio. I have downloaded the suggested codecs. I can play the file in QT player on my PC, but not in Premeir Pro 5.5. I get the message "unsupported or damaged file. Any hints or solutions?

Still no joy. I loaded Beta 2 earlier and got the same results. Download from the latest and got the same result…my editing computer with PPro 5.5 would not accept the file. I am wondering if the problem might be in how I loaded the Avid codec to my editing computer. Is there a certain place I should open the codec exe. File? Although the install wizard from Avid did not give me a choice. Here is what I have done so far:
·         Downloaded BMD 2.5 to the computer I use in the field…(HP EliteBook)
·         Downloaded the avid codec to the HP Elite Book
·         When I have captured the file from the BMD Hyperdeck Studio,
·         I use a Thermaltake USB 3.0 BlackX Dock to transfer the files to a Lacie 2 big USB 3.0 4 TB drive running at 7200 rpm.
·         When I return from the event, I transfer the files from the Lacie to the Editing PC (the Avid codec have been installed on this PC.)
·         The file shows up in QT player but will not load into PPro 5.5.
Thanks in advance for future help and help so far.

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio t

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio tracks - specifically one stereo pair to be t1&t3, the other stereo pair to be t2&t4. This is the standard way requested by an international distributor of tv programmes. I understand how to set the sequence in FCP to output 4 audio tracks - either 2 stereo pairs (1&2, + 3&4), or 4 discrete tracks. But how do I then output this as a QT file?
The manual tells me that to export multiple audio tracks, File>Export>QT Movie has it's Config pop-up menu in the Audio Settings area of the General tab of the Sequence Settings. Well, that's set for 4 discrete channels, but the QT export settings only allow for 2 mono or 1 stereo output, and that's what I get when I try it. What it says in the manual just doesn't happen.
Exporting via Compressor, on the other hand, has an abundance of choices of 4-track outputs, none of which are labelled as anything resembling 'discrete'. Would any of those 4.0 settings suffice? Or am I likely to get myself into difficulties further down the line? As I am monitoring for this task on a 2-track audio system, I cannot confirm exactly what I am getting when I use any of those settings.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
John

Call me naive, but I've not heard of splitting the stereo pairs like this before.
What broadcaster? (perhaps one of our EU regulars will drop in...)
You can do all sorts of pairing but it is coincident tracks pairing- eg 1/2 + 3/4
Sorry I can't offer anything.

QT H.264 files with two audio tracks. Quicktime plays 2nd track first. ***?

I've been experimenting with H.264 (AVC) and my DVDs. Using Handbrake, I ripped a DVD to MP4 (H.264) and including the director's commentary as the second track.
When I play the MP4 with Quicktime Player, it plays the director's commentary instead of the main soundtrack. VLC, however, correctly plays the first track (main movie audio track) and it allows me to select the second track via a menu.
To get Quicktime to play the proper track, I have to open "Movie Properties" and manually uncheck the second track. This was never a problem with DivX/XviD encoded files with two audio tracks; Quicktime Player correctly played the first track.
Why does Quicktime ignore the first audio track in MP4s (but not AVIs) and is there a way to correct this?

I do have QT Pro.
H.264 files are usually saved in a MP4 container. That's what Handbrake, ffpegX, and D-Vision create, anyway.
The "Choose Language" option is greyed out (unavailable) when I open this H.264 MP4 in Quicktime. If I try to change the settings in "Movie Properties," it says that I must save it with the .MOV file suffix.
It makes no sense to me that Quicktime Player can correctly identify the main audio soundtrack in a XviD file with an AVI container but not in a H.264 video with a MP4 container which Apple has been touting as the latest, greatest thing. Even VLC, an open source product still in beta, gets it right.

Can Premiere Pro CC handle AVI files with multiple audio streams?

I have an AVI file with two audio streams and I am wondering if there's any way to access the second stream in PP? So far I can only get the first stream to play. I know I can extract the second stream in for instance VirtualDub, but it would be nice to not have to do that in the interest of an effective workflow.

Hello again Jim! Thank you for your reply, you seem to be working hard here on the forums! The info I have found from 2011 suggested that it wasn't possible then, but I was hoping maybe they added this feature.

Just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and Intel Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and Quicktime plays m4v files with stuttering audio

I just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and 3.33 Ghz Intel Core Duo Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. I now have Quicktime 10.3 which plays m4v files with stuttering audio. This is a nightmare as I use Quicktime a lot in my research. I have seen similar threads but so far only reporting the problem. For now I have installed Quicktime Player 10.7 (which appears in utilities, leaving Quicktime 10.3 in the main applications list) which plays the same videos with no problem, but it would be good to know if anyone has managed to find a workaround at all, or know if Apple have plans to do anything about it?

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.

Avid DNxHD file hangs AE CC

I have AE CS6 on my laptop and desktop machine. I also have AE CC on both. When I try to import an AvidDNxHD clip into After Effects CC I get a beach ball. There must be something wrong with the Avid codec, since it works with AE CS6 perfectly. What might be the problem.

What kind of DNxHD clip? QuickTime container using the DNxHD codec? MXF OP1a? MXF Op-Atom?
If it's QuickTime, then don't install any extra components. After Effects CC (12.0) natively imports DNxHD files, and it's possible that some extra QuickTime importer component that you've installed is colliding with what After Effects installed.

Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cole

Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.
Hmm,
Jack

Any FLV files with Nellymoser audio are required

Hi,
I'm writing a converter of FLV with Nellymoser audio into MP3
format.
I've tested it with NM audio of 8 kHz, but I need yet to test
it with
audio of higher sampling rates (like 11 kHz, 22 kHz and 44
kHz).
Could anybody help me with a small sample of FLV file,
encoded with
Nellymoser audio with a sampling rate higher than 8 kHz?
Thanks in advance.

I just found the problem. Even though my Perian SAID it was up to date, it was only at 1.1.1. My old system that worked correctly still had Perian 1.1.3. I copied that component over and it works fine with the problematic FLV files.
Find it at:

Help importing WMV files with 4 audio tracks....

Hello,
I am using a PC to run a robot show. The show runs off of WMV files recorded with 4 audio tracks.
The "front" audio tracks are the left and right chanels for sound.
The "rear" audio tracks are the signals the show runs off of.
(If you want to see the show... it's here http://www.yorkmiss.com/Curtains.wmv
I run the audio files using the windows media player and as you can see... it works fine.
However, I would like to use the I-tunes player since I can then controld the show remotely using my I-Touch.
The problem is that every time I import one of the audio file into I-tunes, it converts it to a new type of file that "blends" the front and rear chanels of audio together.
I've tried every different option in the import prefrences list - and they all have the same result.
Does anyone know a way of playing the files "as-is" without converting them, or is there a way of converting them I do not know about?
Here's an example of one of the files:
http://www.yorkmiss.com/ShowbizKylesmom_504.wma
Any help or suggestions would be welcome and appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Beth

Yes, I understand that now... but is there a way to convert to those file types while still preserving the 4 seperate audio chanels?
Thanks, Beth

Compressor 3.5 How can I create ProRes file with AIFF audio?

Hi,
I've had some issues with audio playing in FCP 7. I finally found that if I use an aiff audio file 48 16bit it would play okay in the Timeline. I'm able to create an aiff audio only file in Compression, but if I use ProRes 422 for the Video it will use "passthrough" audio, which won't play in FCP. I can turn passthrough off, but then I don't have the option of using an AIFF file, just a bunch of other stuff. Tried the first available option, but it was either silence, or a screeching audio sound so loud it probably woke the neighbors. There is something called "Apple Lossless", but that doesn't have the right bit rate it seems.
Anyway, does anyone know how I can create a ProRes 422 file with the correct audio? Or maybe the only option is to put the video in the FCP Timeline, delete original audio, then add audio that works? Then perhaps export THAT and compress again into one file?
Hope any of this makes sense, I have a small project I would rather edit in FCP7, but if I can't get it to work at all, I could just use Premiere Pro for this one.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hmmm, this is weird. I had already converted once to the format you suggested. When I imported the file into FCP even the original didn't play right. With the sound on my computer turned all the way down, there was no real audio, just a screeching sound so loud it would wake the dead. I had to turn off the sound completely to not have my ear drums burst. Put a small portion of the clip in the Timeline, there was no beeping, but instead no sound at all.
I thought maybe I had done something wrong, so I chose a much smaller clip (45sec instead of 1:30 hours) that was in the exact same format the larger clip was. That one played just fine in FCP after conversion, so I re-did the longer clip but got the screeching sound again as soon as I tried to play the clip after import. When I play that same longer clip in Quicktime, the audio is normal, no screeching at all.
Any idea why this might be happening? It must somehow have something to do with the length of the clip. But how could that be??

Exporting QT file with multiple audio tracks

I'm trying to create a digibeta tape of my movie. The company who does it wanted a QuickTime file with the movie where there were 2 audio tracks (4 in sterio). One with the music and sound effects and another with narration and interviews. I'm not sure if this is possible or where to set the option for this. Can anyone help?

Command+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, go to the Audio Outputs tab and change the Outputs to 4 whilst keeping the Grouping as Stereo.
Back on the timeline, ensure your audio media is on the correct audio track for export, eg, all music on 7&8 , 9&10, VO on 5 and/or 6 , etc etc. Basically, keeping an organised timeline without spreading audio over random tracks really helps.
Ensure the audio tracks are assigned to the correct channels. To do this, on the timeline you see the 'destination buttons' A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 etc etc... next to each button is a padlock, then you have the Toggle Auto Select icon. Control-click on this icon and you'll see the Audio Outputs setting, which shows which stereo pair that particular track is assigned to. In this case, you'll want to assign Music and Effects to 3&4, whilst keeping narration and interviews on 1&2.

Is MOV file with mp2 audio tracks compatible with QT player?

Hi,
I export multiple .mov files with certain video stream and mpeg layer 2 audio stream inside, using MPEG Streamclip/VLC/FFMpegX. However it turns out that the sound part is not playbak correctly inside QT player. Is QT player not supposed to playback this kind of file? BTW, I'm on OSX 10.7.3, Quicktime player is version 10.1.
Thanks,

Many possible answers here. Since you did not indicated the video compression format, my only recomendation would be to try playback in the QT 7 Player for your specific combination of video, audio, and file container. For instance, "muxed" MPEG-2/MP2 data in an MPEG, MPG, or MOV file container will play correctly in the QT 7 Player. On the other hand, the MPEG and and MPG files only play the video in the QT X Player and the MOV file container will not even open in the QT X Player.
Basically, if you check the QT X Player web page, you will note that MPEG-1, layer 2 audio is not supported by this player. However, whiile MPEG-1, layer 2 audio is still basically supported by the QT 7 Player, certain audio, video, and file container combinations may be problematic.

How do I export from FCP to a QuickTime file with multiple audio channels?

I'm delivering a project where the first step is to generate an HD Cam SR master, which I will be doing at a post-production lab. They will then do a QC check for me. To generate this HD Cam SR master, they need to me to bring in my 98-minute long movie on a firewire hard drive, in five equal parts -- QuickTime files. From these five QT files, the lab will then be creating an HD Cam SR master that will have...
dialogue on tracks 1 and 2
effects on tracks 3 and 4
music on tracks 5 and 6
MY QUESTION
a) I don't see any way to separate these audio tracks accordingly in the FCP menu for QuickTime export. Does anyone have any experience doing this?
b) And does anyone know the most efficient way to combine timeline audio tracks for this purpose? I have my dialogue sitting on the first FOUR audio tracks, actually. To deliver this film, I'll need to crush these four audio tracks to two, as listed above. I could generate an AIFF file, I suppose, import it back onto the timeline, sync it up, and then re-export along with the visuals to make the final QT file, but this seems like a generation loss.
thanks,
Shanked
PS the movie is made up of footage from a Sony PMW EX1. I used the codec "XDCAM 1080 24p 35mbs VBR" for editing in FCP. I'll either export to QT using this same codec or switch to "Apple ProRes" if my machine can somehow maintain the sync.

The following will answer both your questions a) and b).
Click on your master timeline and press cmd+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, then click on the Audio Outputs tab on the right. Click on the Outputs option and change it to 6. You can leave them as Stereo pairs.
Now, back on your timeline, you need to make sure all your audio is organised so each track. A1, A2, A3, A4 etc has all the relevant media on it.
Then, on the left of the timeline you see the Destination toggle buttons, then you see the Padlocks to lock tracks, then you have the Toggle Auto Select squares. If you right-click on the Toggle Auto Select squares you bring up a little sub-menu, at the top of this list you'll see Audio Outputs, which will show the stereo channels for that particular track. As you've changed the number of Audio Outputs in the Sequence Settings, the list will show: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. You just tick whichever channels you want.
In your case, you have dialogue on the first 4 tracks, no problem, just go down through tracks 1,2,3 and 4 as described above and assign these to Audio Outputs 1&2.
Then just go down through your music and effects audio tracks and assign them accordingly.
Now, when you export your timeline as a self-contained media file, it will have different audio channels.
I hope that makes sense. When you change the number of audio outputs as described in the first step, I believe the rest of it is fairly self explanatory, once you know where the settings are.
