Separating audio Tracks 1 and 2 in Final Cut Pro 6

Hello, So this may seem like a easy question but for some reason I'm having trouble.
I am editing a project with two audio tracks. Track 1 is a lav microphone and track 2 is (back up) boom mic. 
All of track 1 is great with the wireless mic so I want to get rid of track 2 and duplicate track 1 and make that new track 2.
I've done this before and never had any problems but now I can't disconnect the two tracks.  If one is locked then the other will not
delete.  They are stuck together and will not do anything independently. 
I'm curious what I'm missing.
If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
J-

Click on the audio tracks in the timeline to select them, then go to the menu Modify > Stereo Pair to toggle if you want them to behave as a stereo pair or not (you do not).

  • No audio track anymore in final cut pro timeline

    Hi everyone,
    God I feel dumb but somehow i shut off audio tracks in my final cut pro.  I can see the previous ones down that I laid.  But if I try to bring anymore clips into the viewer and then slide them down to the time line there is no audio that comes with it anymore.  What button do I click to allow audio to pull down with the video on to the timeline.  Weird.

    Make sure you have the audio tracks targeted by using the patch panel at the left of the Timeline.  Also make sure that the tracks aren't locked.

  • I had downloaded and used Final Cut Pro 7 (studio 3) on my mac, but it died. Can I download it to my new computer without buying a new copy? I'm not sure of the number of installations for academic copies. How would I do this?

    AH...good. 
    There is no limit on the times you can install it from the DVDs. There's just a limit as to being able to run it on multiple machines AT THE SAME TIME. If your old computer dies, or you sell it (please reformat the drive so they don't get FCP for free), then you can install on a new computer fine.  And you are allowed to install on (1) desktop and (1) laptop at the same time as well...but only use it on one machine at any given time. Meaning you can use it on the desktop at work, and then when away from the office, on your laptop.
    Long story short...you can install it fine without any issues.

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling final cut pro x 10.0.9

    Hello all Can anyone tell me how to Uninstall and reinstall final cut pro x 10.0.9. Can I redownload final cut pro x I bought it on line. Also I'm running  Lion.
    My problelm with FCX it hangs after a few clicks. I have cleared preferences but no avail.  Help please.
    Can not update to Maverick.

    Hopefully, you can fix before having to uninstall. If you so the only way you can get 10.0.9 is to install Mountain Lion (10.8.))
    Does it hang with all projects? 
    How did you trash preferences? Use this app if you didn't earlier.

  • Can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

    can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

    Disclaimer: This response assumes that a "new mac pro tower" is the new cylindrical model.
    1. You cannot download Final Cut Pro 7. FCP7 is part of Final Cut Studio (2009) a.k.a "FCS3" and it was only released on a DVD set. It can still be purchased online (maybe even from Apple) for prices ranging from a few hundred to $1K and it is 5 years old and unsupported.
    2. Although there are reports of systems running FCS3 on Mavericks, there are also a host of problems associated with this OS/software combination.
    3. A new version of iMovie Pro Final Cut Pro X has been released which is reportedly very fast and is supported.
    It's all a matter of what kind of movies you make...

  • Sending Audio Files back to Final Cut pro, nothing.

    Simple issue:
    I send from Final Cut Pro To Sound track pro some audio files along with the clip.
    I edit it in Sound track Pro, and save (just like in the tutorial) then I quit.
    I go back to Final Cut Pro and what do you know, the file that I sent HAS NOT BEEN EDITED!
    Some one help.

    I tried the same thing earlier in the year, and when the sound came back into FCP, it was corrupted!
    Since then, I don't know if this is a good option, but it seems to work fine:
    Once I have finished my editing in FCP, I export the soundtrack into an AIFF. I edit the AIFF via STP, and when finished, import it back into FCP.
    I'm not experienced enough to know if this method is bad, but it has worked well for me!

  • Help serious Audio rendering issues within final cut pro

    Hello
    I have some serious audio issues I am using Final cut 6.05. Here is my problem I am putting a AUParametricEq filter on my audio due wind noise etc. Anyway when i play it back on the time line it plays fine no problems but as soon final cut renders the file say for mastering to tape. at some point at the audio the audio goes all haywire, popping sounds or the audio just repeats it self at one frame or i can here audio from other parts of the timeline. And it just happened before i never had the issue. Is it the update. Hope anybody can help as I need to master about 6 projects to tape to clean my harddrives and all 6 projects have the same issue.

    Are your audio files AIFF 48K 16 bit?

  • My wife has a G4 and wants Final Cut Pro

    My wife has a G$ and would like to put Final Cut Pro on the machine. Is it possible and what would she need to do?

    She won't be able to use the latest version of FCP; that's for Macs with Intel processors only. She'll need to find out what her G4's specs are and find a used version of FCP that will work with those specs. Offhand, I'd say she'll probably be good with FCP 4.5 or maybe even 5.0. But it all depends on matching the G4's specs with the requirements of the FCP version. Keep in mind that older versions of FCP will not work with many of the newer video formats.

  • Stop Sharing Process And Restart Final Cut Pro X

    Hello, i am pretty new to Final Cut Pro X. I have created and edited a video file in it. Now i am going to share it using Master File option. My question is that when the sharing process starts, which i can see in the background tasks option, is there any way i can stop the sharing process, let us say save what percentage is done, then close the Final Cut Pro X, and let us say i have to shutdown and restart my Mac again. Can i restart the sharing process from the same point???

    NNo. You can cancel the process, but you have to start over.

  • Can I download final cut pro X trial version and use final cut pro 7 during and after the trial period ?

    My company uses Final cut pro 7 and I have to know if we can try Final cut pro X on one of our G5 and, in the case of we can't switch to FCPX, if we can use FCP7 again without re-initialise it. Thanks
    sorry for my english. it's not my maternal language.

    You cannot use FCPX on a G5. It's Intel only.

  • A Must Read for all current and future Final Cut Pro X users

    Take a breath people, as this article states, Final Cut Pro X IS NOT an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 7, it is an entirely new program. Much like Final Cut Pro 1 was the start of a new revolution in NLE video editing, Final Cut Pro X is the beginning of a new revolution. Anyone that has a clue of what they are doing or talking about when it comes to professional workflows knows you can't expect to switch to a new product and a new workflow from day 1. There is an evolutionary process to this, just like there was when the first Final Cut Studio came out, and then version 2 and then version 3 or any new version of OS X for that matter. It will take time for third-party developers to catch up just as it did with every other major release.  In the meantime, you don't change a major piece of your workflow that your business or jobs depend on until that major piece has been out, tested and guarunteed to work for YOUR workflow, PERIOD! If you've purchased final cut pro X already, take this time to start learning a new way of looking at editing, a new way of working while the software catches up to the standards and features that every professional desires. If you havn't purchased it yet, either do so knowing what your getting right now, or simply wait for the evolutionary process to run its coarse.
    This is the way the world of software works people, anyone that doesn't understand this, frankly, doesn't have a clue.

    Original post: "Anyone that has a clue of what they are doing or talking about when it comes to professional workflows knows you can't expect to switch to a new product and a new workflow from day 1."
    Even this shows ignorance of the professional marketplace. The fundamental workflow of the professional editor hasn't changed in 80+ years: The shots get delivered to the Editor, the Editor edits the shots and delivers the results. While I can see how editing software can change the way this fundamental workflow is accomplished, it will not change the fundamental workflow of movie making or programme itself. And therein lies the massive problem with FCPX! However Apple decides to redefine the workflow of how the professional editor edits, it must also provide the basic tools which allow the Editor to take delivery of the shots and make delivery to the other personnel involved in making the film. In a professional environment there are others with whom you must collaborate, when was the last time you saw film or TV credits where only one person was listed? Apple has decided NOT to incorporate in FCPX the fundamental tools which allow for the accepting and delivery of materials within the professional environment using internationally accepted standards. Apple has also left out a range of other essential features required by professionals.
    FCPX is an excellently placed product. It's exactly what the makers of wedding DVDs, youtube contributors and the serious home enthusiasts has been lacking; an easy to use yet powerful and semi-automated video maker. It's an iMovie Plus, a Final Cut Express X, it fills a hole in the market and will be of benefit to hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people (far more potential customers than the relatively limited market of professional editors!). Unfortunately, what it is NOT is a Final Cut Pro X!! Because except for wedding DVDs, p*rn movies and a few other very simple editing jobs, it is unusable for the vast majority of professional editing situations.
    It seems to me there are two reasons why so many people are so angry about FCPX. The first is that it is called Final Cut Pro X (Final Cut Professional 10) and has been marketed to everyone (including professional editors) as an upgrade from FCP7, this is at least misleading and at worst probably borders on misrepresentation. The second reason is that new features like iMovie import and Vimeo and Youtube export have been given prominence, while at the same time basic professional functionality has been removed. This is a very clear indication that the Final Cut software has been repositioned towards the prosumer market and away from the professional market. This is a real kick in the teeth for those who have built their careers and business around this software and Apple has made the situation worse by marketing this kick in the teeth as a major improvement?!
    I've seen messages in other threads from happy amateurs telling the professionals to stop b*tching as FCP7 still works and they can continue using that version. This again demonstrates ignorance of the highly competitive nature of the professional editing marketplace. You need to be doing it better and more efficiently than the next editor. FCP7 has been in need of an update for a few years now, the longer professional editors stick with FCP7, the further behind the competition they will fall. It seems clear that for the foreseeable future FCP7 is Apple's last professional video editing software which means a considerable outlay for Editors, to buy new systems, new software and retrain themselves and employees. It's likely that the release of FCPX and the way it has been marketed will make life very difficult for many editors and may even ultimately cost some their livelihoods.

  • I presently use the Pinnacle Studio program, and am considering purchasing an Apple computer, and using Final Cut Pro X, although all of the previews I have seen appear to be difficult. Is their anyone who has used both?

    I have been using Pinnacle Studio, and am considering purchasing an Apple computer, and Final Cut Pro X. I have looked at several tutorials, and am concerned that the program may be over my head, as it appears to be difficult. I wonder if there is anyone out there who has experience with both programs, and can advise me.

    Ah yes, I remember Pinnacle Studio crashes very well, even with my reasonably powerful PC.  Anyhow, I am running FCPX on a Late 2012 27" iMac, 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, with 16 GB RAM.  I also run it on a Mid 2009 15" MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz Intel Core Core 2 Duo, with 8 GB RAM.  It runs great on both Macs, although there is more beachballing on the MBP - I don't use background rendering on it.  There are also plenty of people out there running it successfully on a Mac Mini.  The usual recommendation is to get the best Mac you can afford.  Don't forget to budget money for an external Thunderbolt hard drive!

  • Canon MVX460 (PAL) and latest Final Cut PRO HD capturing

    Imac intel 20' with final cut pro HD latest update
    Canon MVX460 is told to have a native 16:9 CCD. So I can imagine that pixel aspect ratio is 16:9. The problem is that Final Cut doesn't have any capture option for DV PAL 16:9 standard pixel aspect ratio or frame size, the only thing I've tryed is to capture in anamorphic but having native 16:9 images this is a useless quality loss... Nobody at canon technical service can tell me which is MVX460 frame size, but they were pretty sure about the 16:9 pixel aspect ratio... How can I set it to capture correcly the image without using anamorphic pixel ratio?
    Thank you!

    Thank you! so you say anyway it's anamorphic, I'm figuring it out working on my material!... by the way I use 5.1 FCP
    The second issue is: I capture anamorphic (DV codec setting set to 16:9 am I right?) I use sequence setting anamorphic (DV codec 16:9)... if I open raw captured material with QT... it shows correct 16:9 view.
    BUT when I export it using same sequence setting (and even changing them to 4:3, not anamorphic or whatever) the exported video doesn't play 16:9 in QT but it plays squeezed... the other option is to edit the sequence letterboxed and export it letterboxed... but I loose too much quality.
    If I export it let's say XVID and open it with VLC I can choose the aspect ratio so anamorphic is not a problem.
    My question: why does QT read perfectly the raw material anamorphic but it doesn't automatically read the exported anamorphic?
    AND: is there a way to manually set QT aspect ratio?
    thanks a lot!
