Exporting a "piece" with mixed channels

Hi everybody,
I'm relatively new to FCPX (not to the NLE) and I'm presently using it to close short "pieces" (new bulletin's tv reports) about 90/120 sec long.
I love the clip base approach but in this case, it is driving me lost.
I have to deliver this piece with mixed channels...recording we use channel 1 for natural/effects - channel 2 for voice over, they have to end up in a single channel in the finishing process of delivering the piece. This is the request from broadcasting corp we are working for....In Avid or Edius was very easy...
How can I do?
Thank you
Nico

You can do this when you export. In the settings dialog for master file choose Roles as Multitrack QuickTime Movie, Then choose Mono for your audio roles.

  • No Method of Batch Export for Clips with Alpha Channels?

    Good morning,
    As many a flustered editor has eventually discovered, in order for FCP to export sequences with alpha channels to a 32-bit format, the timeline has to be un-rendered at the time of export, or else the transparent parts will appear black in the outputted file. This sort-of makes sense if you know how FCP and render files work, but in a perfect world I think I'd have designed the export interface a bit differently. Now that I think about it, I'm actually working in an Animation (Millions of Colors +) sequence, so converting transparent areas to black makes no logical sense at all.
    Anyway, I have several sequences that I would like to export as 32-bit TGA QuickTime files, preserving their transparency. If I Export Using Compressor, the process results in pre-rendering of the sequence, turning the transparent areas black. The same problem occurs if I export QuickTime reference movies from FCP and open them directly with Compressor.
    Does anyone know of a way to avoid this silly phenomenon or am I stuck individually exporting each sequence from FCP, one...at.......a................time?
    Thanks,
    Zap

    Thanks, Andy, "Batch Export" eventually did the trick!
    I forgot about that tool because I've never actually had to use it before! After playing around with it for a while, I found that as long as the sequence settings for each sequence in the batch are set to a codec with an activated alpha channel, it works just fine.
    Thanks again,

  • Exporting a QT with multiple channels?

    Curious... Am I able to export / create a QT file with multiple audio channels embedded?
    I've a project with multiple tracks of audio. Now, of course, I know how to "pan" a track left / right to create a project with discrete tracks.
    But, what if I have multiple tracks (vo, sfx, and STEREO audio.) Is there a way to create QuickTime file (exported from FCPX) with MORE than TWO audio tracks? For example, can I create a file with mono'd VO on one track... mono'd SFX on another... THEN... stereo music on two separate tracks? (for a total of four tracks.)
    Please advise, and thanks.

    Luis, many thanx!!!! You mind posting a quick screen shot showing the setting for "Roles as Multitrack Quicktime Movie?" Again... awesome!
    No problem!
    Here it is. Note that you can create as many audio tracks as you want, and they can each correspond to one or more roles (or sub-roles).
    In the example, three audio tracks will be created, one each for Dialogue, Music, Effects; but you can do any combination of roles and/or sub-roles as you please.

  • Export PNG images with alpha channel from flash

    Hi,
    I have this FLA with animation and when played, the animation has alpha channel. I can’t understand why when I look in the library I see the frames without the alpha channel and also when I try to export/extract the image again the image don’t have alpha channel.
    How is it that in flash this image has alpha channel and how to get it out like that into PNG?
    Here is the link to download the FLA:
    http://download759.mediafire.com/nb749r29220g/e0636ab0ru6ouoa/Untitled-1.fla

    "when played, the animation has alpha channel"
    how are you playing the animation? control/enter in Flash, Publishing to a Web page or what?
    How can you tell that the animation has the alpha channel? What exactly are you seeing?
    What is the aniimation? a series of images, one image moving? Are teweens imvolved?
    " when I try to export/extract the image again the image don’t have alpha channel"
    How are you exporting the image? is it a single image? or a series of frames that makes up an animation?
    What was the file format of the original image? you brought that image into Flash and animated it? Now you want to export as a .png with transparency?
    Have you ever tried to export a  simple .png before so that you see and understand the dialog box that pops up during export? are you chosing "24 bit with alpha channel" in the "Colors" choice?
    For those of us who may not want to download your file, please provide a more detailed describtion of everything related to this question.

  • Export to Quicktime with alpha channel

    I'm trying to export my Keynote project to a Quicktime video with a tranparent background.  I set my slide backgrounds to None. In the export panel I've selected the "User Transparency" option and under Custom settings I've selected Animation with Millions + colors.
    When I export the file it has a white background instead of transparent.
    Has anyone else had any success getting this to work?

    Do not render the contents of the sequence. If you render, the sequence is exported using the render files. With the sequence unrendered export using the Animation codec with colors set to millions+.

  • Premiere CS6 - MXF export with 8 channel audio does not export my audio channels correctly

    Hey Volks,
    when i try to export an mxf file with 8 channel audio, premiere does a kind of main mix in channel 1 and 2 and channel 3 to 8 remain silent. It does not include my assignment of audio channels in the mxf file.
    im very thankful for any idea...

  • Mixing and exporting for more than 8 channels and non-standard multichannel setups

    I am trying to do something kind of unconventional, although I have seen people on the forums trying to do similar things. Unfortunately, it's unclear if they succeeded or not, and if they did, how.
    I'm trying to figure out how to mix sound for an environment that has many (somewhere between 8 and 16) independent speakers, all connected to an audio interface. I know that WAV, AAC, and other audio file formats can carry that many channels and I can map them to the individual speakers. My question is how to edit/mix. Specifically,
    Is this possible in Audition? It seems like it might be in CC, but not previous? (I have CS6.)
    How do you set up the project file. When I create a new multitrack project, I can choose mono, stereo, or 5.1. The 5.1 option allows me to assign sounds to the five speakers in a standard 5.1 setup and the LFE. Is it possible mix for an environment with more than that? Or with a different configuration of speakers? In Audio MIDI Setup (for Windows people, that's where in OSX you set the more advanced audio preferences) I can configure up to 7.1 as well as geometric arrangements like quadrophonic, hexagonal, and octagonal. Is it possible in Audition to mix for anything like these?
    There have been some threads where people talk about using 16 discrete outputs in Audition. How is this possible? Is each track able to be routed to a different output? If so, is it possible to write a file that has all of these tracks assigned to their discrete output channels?
    Is it possible to nest audio sessions like you can nest Premiere sequences? For example, can I create a multitrack project with mono output and have that session be embedded into another multitrack session or do I have to finish editing the first one and write a file from it to use it in another project? Can buses be used to do this? What I'm wondering is if what I describe in #3 above IS possible, then how to have more than just a single pre-made audio file going to each of the outputs, to allow me to mix each channel with various sounds.
    Sorry that's a few questions, but they all revolve around how to work with multi-channel sound that isn't stereo or 5.1.
    Thanks!

    As you have probably gathered, this is effectively a work in progress...

    At present, this is restricted to what you can see, but there's sort-of a workaround - albeit not an ideal one...

    If you have a multichannel sound device, and all the outputs are visible to Audition, then yes, each track can be assigned directly to a different output. And if you set one up, you can do this with buses as well...
    Is it possible to nest audio sessions like you can nest Premiere sequences? For example, can I create a multitrack project with mono output and have that session be embedded into another multitrack session or do I have to finish editing the first one and write a file from it to use it in another project?

    It's not possible to nest sessions at present in any version, and this has been asked about before. There are some significant issues with this, mainly to do with things like sample rates, output formats, etc. Doesn't mean that it won't happen, but don't hold your breath... As I said, there's a workaround, and yes, it's buses. Since you can effectively submix to a bus, and the bus output can go directly to hardware, then you can do what you want. The compromise is that in order to save the overall result, you'll end up with all of your source files, and a session file. And you'll have to play the whole thing back in Audition, rather than export it to a single file and be able to play it on a multichannel player. But yes, it should work.

  • Adding logo with Alpha channel to Quicktime and exporting as .mp4

    I'm adding a PNG file with alpha channel to my existing movie file using "Add to Selection and Scale".
    I then have my movie with the overlayed graphic.
    When I then Export as an mp4, the alpha channel is ignored!
    Any help, anyone?

    Yes it looks perfect in Quicktime.
    But for some reason I can't save it as anything else or even export a still frame without the alpha being ignored and the image going all fuzzy.

  • Always asynchronous audio if I export an MXFop1a file with 8 channel audio from Premiere 2014.1 for delivery to XDCam HD U1 Sony.

    I try now for hours to export an MXF op1a with 8 channel audio from Premiere CC2014.1  and with AME 2014.1 to copy the file on my XDCam drive u1 to a disc.
    The file is always asynchronous after 20 or 30 minutes. The project is synchronous and also other codecs are synchronous if I export them. So I think it's a bug...
    I use the newest Sony XDCam drivers. Also parts with no audio can't be render with intelligent render. If I use this option, Premiere or AME crashes...
    I work on a mac system with 10.8.5 OSX.
    Does anybody have the same problems or any ideas to solve my problem...
    Best regards,
    Florian

    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.

  • Exporting a move clip with alpha channel

    Hi there,
    I’m trying to export a move clips with alpha channel.
    I’m trying to export an animation with Premiere CS5. I made an animation of a rotating object in Maya and exported it with alpha channel as tiff images. Then they are edited with Photoshop to give them a drop shadow.
    My problem is this. Can I export this tiff animation with the alpha channel?
    My plane is to use move clips over backgrounds in a game – depending on the result there are different animations playing on top of several different backgrounds. There for the objects has to have a transparent/alpha channel over the backgrounds.
    Again the reason for this is the complexity of the game and to make the game looking as real as possible. I’m hoping for some help here to make my plan possible
    …thanks

    Thanks alot for the help.
    But now I’m wondering how to get the file size down?
    The 32bit and alpha channel just increase the file size from about 1MB to 9,3MB, which is pretty much??
    …any ides mate?

  • EXPORT WITH ALPHA CHANNEL

    I need to know how to export a clip with the alpha channel intact. I keyed a green screen shot and exported it, but everytime i open it in final cut it has a black background. Need help asap it is the last shot I have to do for a music video that has to be done by monday, thanks.

    Are you sure your alpha is there? (check by pressing "a" with the mouse over the view window).
    Did you try telling FCP that there is an alpha channel? If you did "Send to Shake", Final Cut Pro doesn't expect that the QuickTime it's getting back will contain an alpha channel (It's meant to match your sequence settings). You might try dragging the output directly into the browser to re-import it and see if it recognizes the alpha...
    As a matter of fact, maybe you can check in QT Player, load it into QuickTime Player, cmd-j, click on the video track and play with the transparency setting. Try Straight Alpha - that should lead to the background going white - then you'll know its coming out of Shake properly and concentrate on getting FCP to recognize it...
    If all else fails (I did just try it here and it worked), maybe try a TIFF or TGA sequence?

  • DNxHD (.mxf) export with alpha channel

    Hello!
    I'm working with one Finnish children's feature film which will star end of this year as an DIT. Movie will include lot's of green screen and the production want's me to do chroma keyed DNxHD 36 renders with alpha channel for AVID editorial. So far I have found out that neither davinci desolve nor assimilate scratch can't do it.  Is it possible to render DNxHD with alpha channel from AE? And can Avid import these files with alpha channel? All help is needed and appreciated.

  • Exporting files for Surround mix... fairly urgent!

    hi there... I'm having an advert piece i've written mixed in surround sound which is a first for me. it was all recorded and mixed my end in stereo so I need to know how best to export them for the mix engineer. I am yet to hear from them so I was wandering if anyone could answer the following:
    - Should I send split or interleaved files (assuming 48khz 24 bit .aifs are suitable)?
    - Where there is corrective or creative compression or EQ, should I keep in bounced versions?
    - Where tracks are panned, should I bounce this information or leave centered?
    - Where a track is bussed to a reverb for example, should I send the bus as a separate track, or send the original file wet?
    - Where more than one SFX appears on a track, should I separate them onto separate tracks?
    - I'm assuming I should retain creative volume rides in the bounced information (eg. long fades).
    And is there anything I'm overlooking? I'd be VERY grateful for any input (this has to be sent by tomorrow afternoon!).
    Thanks

    Q: Should I send split or interleaved files (assuming 48khz 24 bit .aifs are suitable)?
    A: Interleaved! see down here.
    Q: Where there is corrective or creative compression or EQ, should I keep in bounced versions?
    A: depends on the media you are going to ship your production.
    Q: Where tracks are panned, should I bounce this information or leave centered?
    A: Be shure your tracks are surround at the first place. then the pans could have been converted. better check in the Automation screen if it does.
    Q: Where a track is bussed to a reverb for example, should I send the bus as a separate track, or send the original file wet?
    A: By my knowledge is this your choice. In the bounce all tracks are mixed to the 5+1 (or the 7+1) channels.
    Q: Where more than one SFX appears on a track, should I separate them onto separate tracks?
    A: Deepends on the effects you have in mind. I see no reason do split it up.
    Other thing: if you are going to bounce be shure it is a PCM 48000 (required for replay on standard dvd player) Interleaved (all channels in one file) put the button Surround on.
    checking your work on a standard video-dvd-player is only possible if you put the audio files in to a video stream with a black image as video. there is no other option unless you have a DVD-A player in your collection. such a player is hard to find these days.
    hope this helps a little,
