Where is the audio track in a dvdproj file?

I have a number of old iDVD projects stored on hard disc that I need to convert to a useable format. I've been able to find the MPEG compressed video files by right-clicking on the .dvdproj bundle and opening the Contents/Resources/MPEG.nobackup folder, but the files have no audio track. Where is the audio track stored?

Unless you've created an archive iDVD project file the audio is only linked to the project from wherever you kept the files when creating the project.

Premiere pro 2.0: where is the audio track?

Hello,
I just uninstalled Premiere Pro CS4, because my processor was too bad for it, and installed the testversion of Premiere Pro 2.0.
This seemed to work fine, but when I imported a normal .avi file (it was a mpg converted to avi), I noticed that the audio track was completely missing What could I have done wrong? (This is the problem with every avi-file I import, the sound works on wmp and i should have the right codecs for it, too, I have the k-lite codec pack. The audio track is simply not visible, you wouldn't guess that there is one, if you didn't know it).
Please help me

I agree completely with John T. That was why I specifically asked about DivX/Xvid. It is a delivery-only format for streaming Video, and is good for that purpose. It is NOT meant to be edited, and is very highly compressed. Conversion will get you what you need and let you edit, but the quality hit has taken place, and you can never recover that.
When you convert, you want DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. Do not choose anything else for SD footage.
As for the CFA and PEK files, this is part of Importing an AV file w/ Audio into PrPro. It seldom takes very long to complete, if one is working with DV-AVI Type II files to begin with. Other formats/CODEC's, like WMV's, can take much longer. What often happens is that one Imports the Assets, and they never see the little progress bar, and start editing. Many workstations can do this OK, so long as a Conforming Asset is not used, before it's ready, but often trying to edit, while the process is ongoing, will result in a crash, or a partially Conformed Audio file. That is why I mentioned that aspect first.
Then I kept focusing on your description "AVI." For me, that means DV-AVI Type II, but I realized that it was just as likely that you had chosen another CODEC, in an AVI "wrapper."
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if you have the original footage, I would just convert that to DV-AVI Type II, and leave the Xvid/DivX for streaming delivery ONLY. If you convert your DivX, you will loose a bit more quality, and since DivX has sucked the quality out already, you do not want to do that.

I can't hear the narration track over the audio, what do I do? And where is the "audio mixer"?

Just downloaded Premiere Elements 12 and lost my favorite audio music (wish I could bring it over from 11 somehow), so I drug a new clip in the audio track and now I can't hear my narration track. Also, can you pull up projects made in 11 with Premiere 12? Should I delete 11 off my computer? Also, where is the audio mixer?

The Audio Mixer is under the Tools menu in Expert view or under the Tools drop-down menu at the top of the interface.

Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

Can you freeze the audio tracks in 6.0.3

I have students that are using voice-overs in their projects and every time they move a piece of video all of the audio shifts with the clip. These two pieces - audio and video - were each imported seperately and aligned on the tracks. Is there any way to lock the audio tracks while moving the video?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Tom, and welcome!
Yes, that is very easy: Place the audio clip exactly where you want it, highlight it by clicking on it, go to Advanced menu and click on 'Lock audio clip at playhead'.
Now, if you move or even edit the video clip, the audio clip moves with it.

How does one increase the y-axis (amplitude) of the audio tracks?

How does one increase the y-axis (amplitude) of the audio tracks? My patient appears to have flatlined. I don't want to increase the gain, just the way the waveform looks on my monitor.

The "Expert view" is a part of the new interface of Premiere Elements 11. In your version 10, you have the Timeline and the Sceneline view choices.
For now, I will assume that you are in the Timeline view where you utilize video and audio tracks and not a Filmstrip with scene slots.
I suspect that you may be after the following. Let us see.
To the right of where it shows the name "Audio 1" is a microphone icon. That represents the "Audio Display Style". There are two Audio Display Styles and you can select one or the other by toggling that microphone icon.
a. In one instance, you will see the wave form plus a horizontal orange line which is typically the Volume Rubberband for Volume adjust. This Display Style has a light green background.
and
b. In the other case, you will see a dark horizontal line, no wave form. That dark line is on a light green background.
I suspect you are at "b". Are you aware that "a" exists.
If you want a really blown up version of "a" to look at, you could separate the audio from the video, double click the audio to open the Preview Windows, and then scale up the Preview Window.
We will be watching for your follow up to see if we are getting in sync.
Thanks.

Difficulty lining up cuts at precise spots in the audio track

Hello,
(I guess this turned into just a rant because I think "it just works that way" is really the only answer but if someone has any suggestions, I'm all ears)
I'm trying to use iMovie 11 to build a music video. I have my audio track and I'm adding clips to it that I want to position at precise spots in the music - beats, key changes, words, etc.
(First rant; I can't stand that the audio track is only as long as the amount of clips you have. I want to play the song past my last clip to help decide what clip I want to put in next - argh!!! I have to put dummy clips in the movie to make the audio play past where I'm working - insane)
Anyway, trying to line up cuts with certain spots in the audio is proving to be very frustrating. Yes, I know about beat markers but even if I put in beat markers, I can't figure out what to line up with them. Is it the trailing edge of the first clip or the leading edge of the next clip. The fact that there are gaps between the clips makes it impossible to tell where the cuts really are. It just doesn't make sense to me. Obviously, the audio and video is continuous, so what is happening in the gap? Where is the cut?
The other thing that makes it difficult is that the timeline stretches depending on the duration of a clip that is sitting on it. It seems like they do this so that they can have thumbnails that are always at least a certain size. When the duration of a clip gets short, they have to stretch the timeline because it has to be as long as the thumbnail picture. This distorts the waveform and again makes it hard to find known shapes. I can't understand this logic. The timeline should be the same scale all the way across.
The Precision Editor seems to have a mind of it's own. If I line up the cursor with a beat marker and click the clip gets trimmed way before the beat marker would indicate.
I guess I just don't get it. Does anyone else have these problems???
(end of rant)

Thanks for the reply,
What I mean about the space between clips is, on the timeline, there are visual gaps between clips. I know there aren't actual gaps in the video but visually, the clip thumbnails are separated by a gap. The audio waveform however, is displayed as continuous below the clipthumbnails. So the question is, where is the actual cut relative to the audio. Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
Those clips actually meet somewhere in relation to the audio. Where? Does the second clip start right at that rise in the wave form (just left of the beat marker) or does it start further left, right after the end of the first clip where the audio falls down? It seems like there should be a corresponding gap in the display of the audio and then it would be clear where the clips line up in relation to the audio. No?
On the length of the thumbnails thing, I know about the slider but regardless of the scale, the thumbnail pictures never get below a certain width. So, if you've got really short clips - like still frames that I want to flash in time with a quick beat - since the thumbnails don't get very narrow, iMovie has to stretch the audio waveform that runs beneath the thumbnail so that it matches the length of time of the clip. You can see this happening if you watch the timeline during playback. The playhead will be moving along smoothly but when it gets to the short clips, it will zip along much faster across those clips (because they are actually stretched relative to real-time), and then slow back down again when it gets to longer clips. The fundamental issue in my mind is that the playhead should not change speed during playback. It distorts the whole timeline and makes time comparisions of different clips nearly impossible.

Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.

Visual "amplification" of the audio track

I'm running Premiere Elements 10 and find the visual representation of sound in the audio track very useful. However, the only sound that disturb the horizontal line are relatively loud. Other quieter sounds - particularly speech - often cannot be "seen". Is there anyway of widening the audio track on the screen to get a more detailed view of the sound waveform - I would find it very useful when editing?

There are 2 settings for all track heights. Click on the icon at left of the track to change.
Try 'normalising' the sound. Sound waveforms should fill the track height only where there is a loud peak but normal sound should be about half height.
If the sound "waveform" is very low, it means the original material is recorded too low. Maybe you have a fault in your camera?
Maybe the camera has been set for loud sounds or it's auto volume system is not working properly or not switched on,
Cameras sometimes have a "boost" setting for soft sounds. Try this if so
Sometimes a faulty electret mic has peaks going in one direction, this halves the average level (and causes some distortion)
The average level of speech at the normal level should be about 6 db below the loudest peak (spike in the waveform).
Sometimes a lound intermittent noise can force the rest of the sound in a clip down due to the auto level system in any camera.
You can restore the level of any clip by "normalising" it. (Selectable from the menus after selecting the sound clip to be normalised)
This sets the LOUDEST peak in any clip to max level and if this peak is already lower then the maximuim, then brings up the whole clip as well.
If an offending spike, such as a bumped camera is in the way, you can zoom in on the spike, sets cut points either side of it and reduce just the level of the spike by say 6db, then normalise the whole clips either side of it to bring it all back up to normal.

How to get rid of wind noise on the audio track

I am sure there must be a method to get rid of wind noise on the audio track. Can someone tell me what the best filter is for this purpose as I shoot mostly outdoors and even with a sock covered mike I pick up the wind noise? I have FCS and therefore Soundtrack Pro. Are there filters in the audio filters section of FCP or must I go to STP? Thanks in advance!

I shoot mostly outdoors too, and it gets pretty windy where I live!
> I shoot mostly

I hope you mean you have a Rycote "Softie" or something similar protecting your mic . . ?
If so, you should be able to shoot in quite a high wind without any "wind noise" - but of course, even if your "sock" is correctly fitted and working well, you'll pick up the sound of the wind (different thing altogether).
If you have the right gear and are experiencing the buffeting sound you get with an unprotected mic, then I suspect there are gaps somewhere - so tape them up!
Either way, for removing unwanted sound, I know of no tool like the Linear Phase EQ filter in STP. Like everything new, it takes a little time to learn but it's very well worth it. With practice, you can almost slice out much unwanted sound like a knife.
I'm not sure why you don't want to use STP - it opened up a whole new world to me - and it's easier to learn than FCP IMHO.

Photoshop CC video: Where is the audio flyout menu? I want to set the audio level of a clip but when I click the little triangle the flyout only offers Motion options, no audio.

I created a video clip by ripping from a (non-protected) DVD & brought it into Photoshop CC for editing. I want the audio to fade in & out but cannot find any audio controls!
The info I've found online says to click the little triangle at the right end of the clip & I should get the audio flyout menu, but all I get is a menu with "Motion" options.
Please help!! Where are the audio options I see on the tutorials?
Thanks ...

The audio was indeed in there; I could hear it! But I found the fix:
Some Googling revealed that the timeline video sprites should appear *blue*, not purple as in my screenshot. I'm not sure how that happened, but I scrapped the project & restarted from scratch - and though I can't say what I did differently, this time the video sprite in the timeline was blue, and the audio flyout was there! So it's all good, thanks!

When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

Can I open a second Source Monitor for the audio track of a video?

I really dislike having to switch to the audio waveform in the Source Monitor pane when I want to tinker with a clip's audio track. I usually try to stay away from needing to use a panes drop down menu as much as possible. Is there a way to get this in a different window?
Using CS6

You cant tinker with the audio track in the Source Monitor. Apart from IN and Out Point setting.
Normally one would expand the audio track in the time line...zoom in/out to suit and maybe use the tilde shortcut key to view it all full screen.

How to replace the audio track of a videofile without re-coding the video
