4 tracks of audio using Quicktime?

The TV show we're doing wants us to provide to the promo department an HDCAM tape with four tracks of audio: Ch 1 Dialogue, Ch 2 Effects, Ch 3 & 4 Stereo Music. We can easily lay that out in Final Cut, but we don't have a HDCAM record deck. So we're thinking, is there a way we can output a QT file, or some other standard format, in digital form, which could have four tracks? I don't think QT allows for more than two? If we could create the file, then we can give it to our post house to layback to HDCAM tape.

As Tom notes, set your Sequence Settings > Audio Outputs to 4 channel
Then assign each audio track to the appropriate audio output channel(s) ... if you are working with stereo outputs then be sure to pan your tracks appropriately for correct track separation where necessary.
Finally Export > Quicktime Movie w/ Current Settings, Self Contained and you'll be golden.

  • I just recorded audio using QuickTime, but now I can't use it in iMovie.

    I used QuickTime 10.0 to record audio, but now I have no way of using this audio in iMovie. I added it to my iTunes library, but I can't drag it into my project to use as a regular audio file. I can't even convert it to some audio format since QuickTime 10 doesn't have that feature.
    Help! I was hoping to create a screen recording demo via QuickTime and overlay it with audio using speech I recorded using QuickTime as well, but now I see I can't. Is there any way to use audio recorded with QuickTime other than just listening to it?!? Seems like a feature that isn't done yet.

    The thing is that there is no unlocked phone in the US that is available for purchase.  The T-Mobile phone is contract/sim free and not unlocked and for the unlocked phone you have to wait for at least a couple of months after release before the unlocked phone is available. 
    That is why you cannot use the phone in the UK because it was never unlocked in the first place if you activated it with T-Mobile.  Sim/Contract free and unlocked do not mean the same thing.  You will have to wait at least 2 months now before T-Mobile will consider unlocking your phone and then you won't be able to get 4G in the UK and you have no UK warranty, only US where you purchased the phone.
    Why not buy a new phone in the UK that is unlocked and sell the US one?

  • Certain .AVI files will not play audio using QuickTime 7.5

    I have recently updated my QuickTime to QuickTime Pro 7.5. I attempted to play videos in my library and noticed that certain videos will not play the audio, but video is fine. I did not have problems with playing the videos with audio before the update.
    I tried to do some research and many have suggested to install PERIAN 1.1. I have done this, but still no result. I have deleted a lot of important videos, because I assumed that they are no longer usable. I decided to keep most of them and figure out a solution. No luck so far.
    Please help! Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I'm not really sure what to look for in QT's Movie Inspector, but here's what it says:
    Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 320 x 240, Millions
    FPS: 14.99
    Playing FPS: (Available while playing.)
    Data Size: 11.96 MB
    Data Rate: 2112.38 kbits/s
    Current Time: 0:00:00:13.94
    Duration: 0:00:00:47.50
    Normal Size: 320 x 240 pixels
    Current Size: 320 x 240 pixels (Actual)
    If Pro update were not suited for Intel Mac's, should I uninstall the update? If so, how do I do this? Do you have any other suggestions?
    Thanks again for the reply!

  • How to splice audio tracks together using QuickTime 10

    Can someone please explain to me exactly how I can splice one track to another using QuickTime 10. I've been able to do so using QuickTime Pro 7, simply cutting and pasting, but can't figure out how to do it in Quicktime 10.

    bump.
    Is the answer that Quicktime Payer v10.0 that comes with Snow Leopard is only a player? And that in order to splice two or more Quicktime movies together, one has to revert back to Quicktime Pro?

  • Windows AVI hd files with 4 channels of audio with quicktime PRO ?????

    I wish to convert Windows AVI hd files with 4 channels of adio to Quicktime mov, retaining the four tracks of audio, will quicktime pro do this

    It depends on what the audio and video codecs used in the video. AVI is just a container format and make use any number of codecs, some of which QuickTime for Windows can support but many it cannot. If you can post information on the codecs, someone here can probably give more direct advice.
    Regards.

  • Using QuickTime Broadcaster with QuickTime Player

    I have one computer streaming video/audio using QuickTime Broadcaster. How are you supposed to view the stream with QuickTime Player on another computer? None of the QuickTime docs says how you view a stream. I tried entering the IP address of my broadcast computer into the Open URL field, but nothing happens. I have the latest SW on everything.

    Thanks. This helped, although it still didn't work. I found the solution in the help file although I still had to experiment. The description below is one way for it to work, although there are probably other ways.
    To get it to work from one computer to another, you have to export from the QTB an sdp file. This file gets stored on the viewing computer. On the QTB computer, on the Network tab, the IP address needs to be the viewing computer's IP. Once broadcasting, the QT Player on the viewing computer opens the sdp file. It should then work. If anything on QTB get changed (MPEG-4, etc), you need to export another sdp file.

  • High pitch noise when recording audio using internal mic

    The issue I am having is with the internal mic. When recording audio using quicktime or garageband.It is a high pitch noise that stays whether i am speaking or not. The fix i found was to lower the input volume of the mic in system preferences. However, this causes my voice to be recorded so low that audio is barely usable unless volume is all the way up. Looking around the web I found this gem:
    http://www.usingmac.com/2009/6/18/recording-speech-with-garageband-2009
    This help me get rid of the high pitch noise for Garageband. The noise still there for Quicktime. Any ideas on how I can keep the same mic input volume with out having to listen to the high pitch noise?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Did you do the usual stuff, such as reset PRAM?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    There are some sound settings in PRAM, although I think it's only for sound output.
    Also, as a test, I would create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    Log out and log in to the new account (do not use Fast User Switching). In the new account, try recording something using QuickTime, and note if this problem recurs. If it does not, you have eliminated a few possible causes, such as a problem with the overall system installation or a hardware issue, and isolated the problem to something in your normal user account.

  • Export Quicktime movie is not rendering video track, just the audio track. However, everything works when using Quicktime Conversion menu options. What is wrong with my setting for Export Quicktime movie?

    When you converted the original files via MPEG Streamclip, what did you convert them to?
    Have you tried trashing your preferences in FCP? Trashing FCP prefs is usually the first step when FCP is performing strangely.
    Download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) at:

    It will allow you to archive your current preferences if you wish to restore them later.

  • Need help!!! multi-tracks audio to quicktime via compressor

    I have a timeline in FinalCut Pro with 10 audio tracks. I want to do an uncompressed QuickTime and keep the 10 audio tracks seperated. How do I do that?

    In FCP, click anywhere on the timeline and type Command + 0 {zero} to open the Sequence Settings. Once they are open, click on the Audio Outputs Tab.
    Choose the number of outputs you want, and choose if they are Stereo Pairs or not. Click OK. You will get a warning that your audio device does not support ten tracks, click OK to dismiss it.
    Next, assign the tracks on the timeline to the correct output track. Control-click on the space above the lock symbol, and the track assignment drop down will appear. This instance shows the tracks being Stereo Pairs.
    Then export your Quicktime. If you want to change the video to uncompressed, you can export it with using File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion. . . and set the video to uncompressed.
    Once you have exported the file, a quick way to check all the audio tracks are correct is to import that file you just created back into FCP, and open it in the viewer, you will see all the tabs for the attached audio tracks.
    Be sure to go back and normal the audio settings in your sequence when you are done exporting.

  • How can I use an external mic to record meeting audio with quicktime player

    I'm trying to use a SoundTech CM-1000 conference mic to record meetings at a conference I am running. 
    I'm using Quicktime for the recordings.
    The SoundTech CM-1000 conference mic does not transmit any sound when connected to the Audio-in plug on my MacBook Pro.
    Does my MacBook Pro require external mics that are also powered - connected via a usb port rather than, or at least in addition to, the audio-in plug, for instance?
    What's happening here?
    Steve

    Macbook Pro does not have a microphone input
    You have two options:
    1 buy a USB mic and connect to a USB port
    2 buy a small very cheap sound mixer that has 3.5 mic level input and a line level out put
    something like this:

  • Audio and video out of sync when using quicktime conversion

    hello,
    i am editing a hdv project and want to export to quicktime. the client needs it in a specific size (700x394). they do not want the video in the file compressed, just the size of image. they are compressing the video through flash for the web. anyways, i used to just use quicktime conversion, custom size and use 700x394, but now when i do that the audio and video are sparadically out of sync in the product. the wierd thing is that the project plays fine in the timeline, but when i export the problem occours. i then, exported to a full res fcp movie and it is fine. then tired reexporting through qt pro to 700x394. when i did this their were no sync issues but the quality of the file was not so good, it look more pixely, certainly not as good as when i did it using quicktime conversion.
    how can i export through fcp to get the 700x394 file? someone said 'use current settings' instead of using quicktime conversion? how do i do this? what do i need to do and what are my settings?
    any help is appreciated. thanks a ton in advance.
    cheers,
    clay

    What format are you converting the HDV to?
    If it's animation, it is quite possible your computer can't pull the data rate. In this case it would be a processor / hard drive issue not an out of sync issue.

  • When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?

    When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?

    When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?
    That would depend on your work flow. MOV is the generic QuickTime file container and is not related to any particular data compression format. If you perform a simple "Save" or "Save As..." action that merely copies the data in the WAV file to an MOV file, then the data remains unchanged and maintains its original quality. If, on the other hand, your transcode/re-compress the original data to a different compression format, then there is always the potential for some loss in quality. Depending on the codec and/or settings, the potential loss could be inaudible to severe.

  • Use QuickTime Pro to extract audio from VCD

    Can I use QuickTime Pro to extract the audio from a VCD? after that, I would like to convert that audio file to an mp3.

    MPEG Streamclip is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
    For others with the same need, here's my workflow for Extracting Audio from a VCD:
    * Pop the vcd into a computer and open it up.
    * Navigate to the MPEGAV folder. You should see something like AVSEQ01.DAT.
    * rename that to AVSEQ01.mpg
    * Drag this new .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip
    * File/Export Audio . . .
    * Open up Audacity (optional)
    * File/Open . . .
    * direct it to the newly created .mp3
    * Trim off any extra audio (I didn't want the opening credits, etc. on the .mp3)
    * File/Export as .mp3

  • I have exported a file from premiere cs3 using quicktime animation codec, when i burn it the audio is not there..help!?

    hello.
    am having a proble with adobe premiere cs3
    i have exported the file as quicktime using the animation codec, with 100per cent quality as it needs to be the highest quality
    when i play the file with media player the sound is there, but when i burn it onto a dvd the audio is not there anymore... i really dont understand what i am doing wrong! can anyone help please?
    i am using quicktine as im told this the best for optimum lossless quality
    if i cannot burn it with audio using the quikctime animation codec, then i might try exporting it as an avi file. if so, what is the best codec to use for lossless quality?
    thankyou!!!!

    And when you follow Jim's suggestions, Export as elemental streams, i.e. one Video-only file and one Audio-only file. Encore will like that better.
    Good luck,

  • Used Quicktime to export iMovie and play on a TV, but getting audio codec error

    I created an iMovie 11 project and exported it using Quicktime as a HD movie to play on a one year old Samsung big screen TV. The movie file ended in .mov, which the TV would not recognize, so I changed the extension to .mpg and the video plays fine.
    The problem I have is that during the first 3 or 4 seconds of the movie, I get an error pop up on the TV screen that the audio codec is not supported, obviously newer than the TV, right?
    So I updated the TV to the latest firmware via Samsung's website and that all went as expected. However, the error message is still there.
    The movie is made up completely of still images, so there is no audio to detach, and I can find no other settings to disable the audio portion of the movie.
    Anyone run into this before and be able to share some advice, please?

    I found that these audio codecs are supported:
    AC3
    LPCM
    ADMPCM (MA, MS)
    AAC
    HE-AAC
    WMA
    DD+
    MPEG (MP3)
    DTS Core
    Voris
