Cutting and saving individual video and audio files from a clip

I have to cut 201 individual video and audio files for separate scenes from an 11-minute animated episode and save them as separate MP4 video and MP3 audio files. What is the most efficient way to do this?

Without knowing more about your project, it's hard to even guess at the most efficient workflow.
Like: Do these clips have audio or are you adding it? What format are these clips? What is the intended delivery for the 11 minute movie?
As a general matter, one creates an event, imports clips to it. Then organizes the clips according to the needs of job, using keyword collections and ratings. Then creates a project and starts a rough cut by marking ranges in the event browser and editing to the time line. Some people start with the music, making that the primary storyline mark where they want the edit to be and cut to that.
Upon finishing, one can choose one or more of the "destination" presets. It's possible to export Audio only or Video only or both. MP3 is one of the audio choices. Some of the presets are MP4. If you want possibly better quality and more control, export the files as master files and encode in Compressor.
Good luck.

  • Can't transfer video or audio files from computer to iPhone 4S

    I've been trying to transfer songs and videos that I have on my work computer to my iPhone 4S. The computer is one of my authorized computers, and the files were previously stored on a portable drive. I moved the files into iTunes and then tried to move them to the iPhone, but am blocked from doing so.  Any thoughts?

    What do you mean "blocked"?
    What have you tried?
    What happened?
    Error message?
    What did it say?
    Is this the computer with which you normally sync?  Iphone will sync/manage itunes content with only one computer at a time.  Syncing/managing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new comuter.

    in garage band, i want to import a 20 minute wav file and cut it into individual songs, and export them to itunes or dropbox or ...
    i've imorted the file to audio for imovie, but can't see how to chop it up, save the pieces as individual units, and export them.

    Create a new GarageBand project using the "Voice" template.
    Drag you wav file into the Track area of the GarageBand window to create an audio track for it.
    Use the playback button to find the gaps between the songs.
    Mark each song in turn with the cycle region. Press the button with the two blue chasing arrows to enable the cycle region. This will create a yellow bar at the top of the track area. Drag the ends of this bar to mark one of your songs.
    Now use the "Share" menu to send your song to iTunes.
    When done, adjust the cycle region to mark the second song.

    The file extension is .au  but the logo looks like a soundtrack pro file.
    Yes, they are labeled in order b001au to  b00410.au
    The great majority are 1.1 Mb but some are smaller. There are 410 files and I took a sampling here and there.
    When I go to info it tells me that it is a neXT sound file.
    Thanks, John

  • I created an image in Photoshop and saved it as the PSD file. Now when I try and open it it says it is not compatible with my version. How could this be when I created it in this version?

    That depends on why it won't open.  Most of the time it means the file is corrupted and unlikely to be recovered. If you saved it right after adding or copying a LOT of layers - then it might just be the layer limit and we can attempt to recover it.

  • Help!! working on a movie on Imovie. I had to delete a music file from a clip section and now there are some clips that have no audio!!! don't know how to get the audio back to my clips!!!! Help!!!

    Help!! working on a movie on Imovie. I had to delete a music file from a clip section and now there are some clips that have no audio!!! don't know how to get the audio back to my clips!!!! Help!!!

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Select and export multitrack to stereo audio file?

    I have a live show in 16 tracks. I would like to select the tracks from each song and export songs as stereo audio file. I Can't figure this out. Looking for some advice! Thanks!

    The function is called Bounce....
    Check Logic Pro X's Menu bar... File > Bounce and then choose which ever type of bounce you need... (Project for example)

  • I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

    I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

    My answer in the older thread is still valid
    Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
    Please open Terminal and issue the following command
    ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
    you should get a line similar to this
    drwxrwxrwx  13 yourusername  staff  hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
    Numbers, date and time may differ.
    If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
    chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

  • I can't find a plug in that i downloaded and put in the library/audio file when I'm in garage band

    I can't find a plug in that i downloaded and put in the library/audio file when I'm in garage band?

    In GarageBand 10.0 and GarageBand '11 are the plugins (Audio Units) installed in
    /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
    What is the GarageBand version? Not all plug-ins are compatible with the newest version GarageBand 10.0
    The version number is shown in the "About panel" in the main menu bar: GarageBand > About GarageBand
    If you are having the newest GarageBand 10.0, the Audio Units will show in the panel in the Smart Controls of the Track you selected.
    Scroll the "Info" pane down all the way or enlarge the Smart Controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the track area upward, until you see theAudio Unit Brick. 
    Most panes in GarageBand 10.0 can be scrolled.  If you do not see the scroll bars, they will appear automatically, when yous start scrolling. Or enable them permanently in the System Preferences > General > Scroll Bars. This is useful, as long as you do not know yet, which panes have hidden items that will need scrolling, to make them visible.
    The Smart Controls need to be enabled in GarageBand Preferences >Audio Midi.
    Some Audio Unit plug-ins will no longer work, since the new GarageBand 10.0 is a 64-bit only application; the 32-bit plug-ins are incompatible.

  • How to read an audio file from the disk and play it?

    Do you know who to read an audio file from the hard disk and play it. It's for an application and not an applet. I tried with the Applet.newAudioClip(URL url) thing, but I keep getting a MalformedURLException.
    And is there a way to get the path of the file you are using? Currently I'm doing this:
    File file = new file("randomname");
    string = file.getAbsolutePath();
    file.delete();
    I'm sure there's a better way. And this is not for an applet, just a normal app.

    Below is a class that should be of use to you.
    package com.sound;
    import java.io.File;
    import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
    import javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream;

         String filename;
         public SoundPlayer(String filename){
              this.filename = filename;
              Thread t = new Thread(this);
              t.start();

                   AudioFormat     format = stream.getFormat();
                   DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, format);
                   Clip clip = (Clip)AudioSystem.getLine(info);
                   clip.open(stream);

  • Can I speak into my mac and save it as an audio file with garage band

    Can I speak into my mac and save it as digital audio file?

    Looking at the specs, the mini does not appear to have a built-in microphone as the iMacs do. You can't just plug a microphone into the input socket, as that is line level and a microphone doesn't have enough output. Your easiest move would be to buy a USB headset such as the one Plantronics makes for use with Skype: this should work straight off.
    Sound Recorder is a simple audio recorder: I've not used it, so I don't know if it's any good, but it would at least cost you nothing to try it.
    Amadeus II and Amadeus Pro are reasonably priced and are fully featured sound recorders and editors which can save in a number of formats.

    The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • I have just updated itunes to 10.7 and now my videos and flims will not play. I get a message saying itunes has stopped working. Can you help

    I have just updated itunes to 10.7 and now my videos and flims will not play.

    This helped overcome the crash problem, but (as reported before), I still have to start iTunes in Safe Mode in order to watch any videos. This has been the case since 10.5.
    The regular mode behavior has changed a bit - instead of the progress bar moving to the end of the video, showing no video but playing the audio for about three seconds, it now leaves the progress bar where it is ... but the rest of the behavior hasn't changed.
    Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit on an HP dv8t quad-core laptop w/ 8 GB RAM, running nVidia GeForce 230M with 1 GB video RAM.
    Thanks for your prompt response to the original problem posted above. At least now I'm back where I started from before I upgraded to 10.7. Not optimal, but I've finally gotten used to doing a Ctrl-Shift-click to run iTunes.
