Adding Menue Audio Track selection and soubtitles on/off

Hi,
with some help from replies to other questions I managed to get a working DVD/BR with cool 2.0 / 5.1 sound and subtitles.
But for now I do have to select the audio track manually and also I do have to enable subtitles from the DVD/BR players menu.
So I wanted to add a DVD/BR menu where you can choose the audio track which should be played and to switch on and of subtitles.
I edited a nice PS PSD File with some buttons and they show up in Encore and I can do some "encore" editig like moving tham arrond or link to some other elements.
My question: How do I get e.g. the Button "2.0 Stereo" to select the stereo track and the button "5.1 Surround" to select the 5.1 track. An other button should switch on/off the right subtitle
Than I'd like to have a button which starts the video with the selected audio and if selected subtitle on.
At the end of the movie I like to be back in the menu.
I bet thats simple
I thought to create different timelines and add the audio/video/subtitle, but that i have a lot of timelines in all sort of combinations; e.g. video ON, 5.1 sound ON, subtitle OFF ..... video ON, 2.0 sound ON, subtitle ON etc ....
Thansk for any suggestion . and BIG thanks. Götz

Thanks for your posting, but there is the higlight Layer.
I opend the menue in photoshot once more and enabled the layers.
For me a button has the following different states:
Normal, no highlight,just "plain" text. e.g. "English Subtitle". in that state, the Subtitle is NOT selected/enabled.
Mouse Over, the highlight shows up, so you can see where you are with your mouse. e.g. "English Subtitle √"
Mouse left click, the highlight "sticks" to the menue item and when moving the mouse avay it is still highlighted, e.g. "English Subtitle √"
So I'd liked to indicate which audio track is enabled/selected and if subtitles are off or on.
I thought, the highlight button states are markend with (=1) & (=3) ....
BTW. in encore menue edit mode, if I click the show selected/activated Subpicture Highlight, the right layer shows up (with my √-symbol)
But in preview mode or on a burned dvd this did not work

Audio Track Selection and Moving issue

Hi there,
I have come across an issue in Premiere Pro since the 7.1 update and we are now using the 7.2 update and the same problem is still present here.
Occasionaly, and increasingly, we are unable to select a clip in Premiere Pro (sometimes this is video but mostly it affects audio). When this happens we cannot do anything to the clip whether it's audio or video. We can;t move it in the timeline, add effects to it or anything. It appears that saving the project then closing and reopening solves the issue but it is happening every 10 minutes so this simply isn't a suitable workaround.
Anyone aware of anything that could be causing this or indeed having the same problem?
Be really grateful for any help provided.
Cheers,
Alex

Thanks for your swift reply Jim.
It seems to occur on both my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro though and with various projects so unless all my projects are corrupt then I would have said it was more a software issue. We use a Razar Mouse which I thought might have been causing an issue but it is also present with the Apple trackpad.
Literally all we can do is select the clip and drag in new clips but after that we can't even nudge it up or down, ripple edit, trim, move or anything? Occasionally, it seems to work again but then quickly starts playing tricks on me again. It seems though that adding an effect to the clip seems to solve the issue???
I will try uninstalling Premiere and then reinstalling from CC to see if that helps following the update. Failing that how about Safe Booting my Macs and running the repair permissions operation? Additionally, trashing the preerences in Premiere?
Cheers for your help.

Audio track 1 and 2 not lined up??? help!!

When you put clip in timeline they go on 2 audio tracks for some reason. well, i must have deleted something I shouldn't have because 1/4 way through movie the 2 audio tracks are not directly lined up with one another. for some reason the bottom track says +15. I tried to undo but you are openly allowed 10-15 or so 'undo's" and I must have made error long time ago and not noticed. Then I tried to lock the audio track 1 for my video clip and move the audio track 2 directly underneath it but it won't let me. Even when audio track 2 is unlocked I cannot move audio track 1 for same movie clip.
When I play my movie the dialogue is not synced anymore. Can I fix this?
suggestions?

I have been told by a friend to re-do my entire movie from the point the audio track 1 and audio track 2 have become displaced. If anyone in the Apple community can help me I would appreciate it.
I find it hard to believe that when audio track 1 and audio track 2 become displaced there is not an easy way to line them up again. Since 80% of my movie has an audio track 2 clip that has a red icon with + 15 on it it seems to suggest that audio track 2 is 15 frames off of audio track 1. (Audio track 1 and Audio track 2 are from the same video clip)
So I have about 20% of my movie clips that have lined up Audio track 1 and Audio track 2 and then all of a sudden the audio track 1 and audio track 2 are not lined up. So I hear an echo to every actor who states dialogue because audio track 1 "says the line" and then of course audio track 2 which is not lined up "says the line" a few seconds later.
If anyone can answer this question you will save me about 10-15 hours of work. Thank you!
Your friend is, umm, to be kind, ignorant.
There is an easy way. Right click on the red icon and select slip into sync.
The most likely explanation is that you have deactivated the link function of the timeline. It is a small chain link icon in the right upper corner of the timeline button bar.
Since you are having so many problems associated with yoru project's audio, I strongly urge you to learn how to increment your project on a daily basis so you have an intact version history (no, I'm not going to explain that to you) and be absoltuey CERTAIN you understand how the auotsave vault works and how to recover your project if you need to.

HT204406 on ios 6.0 iphone4: Now the device was lost to download individual tracks selectively and completely lost the ability to delete individual tracks and albums from the device. its so BAD (((

on ios 6.0 iphone4:
Now the device was lost to download individual tracks selectively and completely lost the ability to delete individual tracks and albums from the device.

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

Video and Audio Track Selection

Is there any quick way to do this? Nothing in the keyboard shortcuts menu that seems close to "Sleect Video Track 1", "Select Audio Track 1", etc. Is it only achieveable with a mouse? Thanks all.

I have made custom keyboard shortcuts for video and audio tracks using Toggle Track.
I use numbers 1 to 7 for Video and Shift 1-7 for Audio.
In conjunction with Mouse clicking and shift mouse clicking on tracks..does all that I need.

Separate Audio Track Selection Menu

So i'm working on a fitness video, Which has a dialogue audio track and a music audio track. I've made 2 audio files, one stereo mix with both music and dialogue. and another mono track with just dialogue. The point is so that people working out at home can choose between using the default music, or using their own music live playing from another source. So what i have created so far, is just a main menu, that has a play button that plays the show with the main stereo track. What i want to do, is create a sub menu with the 2 choices, "without music, or with music" and once you click them it brings you back to the main menu, where you have to click the play main movie button. I could spend a bunch of time trying to tinker around and figure this out. But if someone could just guide me in the right direction that would be fantastic.

Duplicate your "main menu" and call it "No Music Menu". Now when you go to your sub menu, have the button for "no music" target to the "No Music Menu"
Create a new track that is your "No Music Track".
On your "No Music Menu" select the Play button and change its target to your "No Music Track".

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).

Adding extra audio tracks to an mp4 movie file?

I'm new to using iMovie or similar programs for converting/merging video and audio, so any help that steers me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
I made an mp4 file of a movie, and want to add an audio track to the mp4 file. The audio track is an mp3 file. However, in order for me to have the new audio track sync up with the video, I need the audio track to start playing before the movie begins. Please note that I'm not interested in burning this to a DVD; I just want a new mp4 file with the extra audio track.
With this in mind:
1) What program would be best for merging an mp3 file with an mp4 video file, plus adding extra time to the video in order to accommodate the extra time in the audio track? I have iMovie HD 6.0.3, and the latest version of Handbrake, unless another program is better for this task.
2) What steps do I need to perform to merge the two files? I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this in Handbrake, and importing the mp4 file in iMovie will take forever.
As I said, I'm new to using these programs, so if you need me to clarify anything, please ask and I'll do my best to help out. Thanks!

QuickTime Player Pro ($30) can do the job in just a few seconds. Its .mov container can have up to 99 tracks.
Open the .mp4 file, select all and Copy.
Switch to the .mp3 file, move the playhead to the needed start point and paste in the entire .mp4 file.
The hardest part is a pencil and paper to note the time of each file to find the proper insertion point.

Core Audio Track Selection ?

Hi
In Logic 7 I used to be able click and hold on an audio instrument track in the arrange page and a pop up menu/list of all the audio instrument channels would appear allowing me to choose whichever channel/instrument I wanted. Now in Logic 8 it seems I have to keep adding tracks in order to get to what I want ...
eg: The last track is Inst6 , but I want to use Inst 24, and the only way I can do it is to keep pressing the "New with next Channel Strip/Intrument" option to get to 24 ..by which time theres also a pile of empty tracks (inst 7-23)which I then have to delete .... Surely its something obvious but I cant find it.
Also my "Core Audio" option in Inspector is greyed out ?
Can anybody help ?
thanks
Paul

Press 'control' while clicking on the instrument or audio track you want to change. you get 2 options,
the first of which is 'reassign track object' - move across and you'll see all the options are there
available to you.

Why is Delete greyed out in the Edit menu? (track selected in regular playlist)

Hi. Starting today, Delete is permanently greyed out in the Edit menu in iTunes. This is with tracks selected in the Music library or in any playlist (not just Smart Playlists). I manage tracks daily, and this just started today. I upgraded to 10.4 about a week back so it was fine for a while. Immediately before the problem manifested itself, I selected "Always Show Artwork" from the View menu (which is available when you're in Album List mode), something I've never done before. But that might be totally unreleated.
Hitting the Delete key doesn't work either (actually that's my preferred method). However "Cut" and Cmd-X do work, as does the Delete command in the contextual menu. So I have a workaround.
Quitting and re-entering iTunes didn't help, nor did de-selecting "Always Show Artwork".

Hmm. I came to realise iTune Match had downgraded 38 of my tracks, which I'd ripped from my own CDs long ago, with 256kbps versions. I do have backup for the tracks, so I'd like to delete these 38 tracks (I've made a Smart playlist of them), deleting them from iCloud too; then with Match turned off, recover my originals (Add to Library) from an old Mac.
Can't do it! As Richard Tench said at the top, from 27 July 2011, Edit > Delete is permanently grayed out if you have opted for iT Match. And for me on iTunes 10.6.3 (Lion 10.7.4), that's not all: Edit > Cut and Cmd-x both just produce the Bonk sound. My Macbook keyboard has no Del key either.
But all the above are only true with Match active. Store > Turn Off iTunes Match will ungrey Edit > Delete (& fn-bksp etc I imagine). So I would then be able to delete the tracks locally. But of course, if you turn off iT Match you can delete all you like locally, but they will still exist in iCloud, and if I turn on iT Match again, the lower-grade 256kbps ones will come down from the clouds to replace my CD-ripped ones again! Won't they?
Is that right? Is there any way to exclude these 38 tracks (out of ~6500) from iTunes Match so I can keep my better quality CD-ripped ones? (Other than using Alt-Launch & creating a separate iTunes fileset for the 38 tracks - as you might have guessed, some of them fall right in the middle of albums.) Help!

Adding multiple audio tracks to slideshow

Just wondering if it's possible to add more than 1 audio track to a single slide show.
If not, is there a way in which I can combine different audio tracks and make one file out of multiple songs?
That way I could at one track to my slide show, containing a couple of songs I would like to be heard along with the photos.
Thanks

First off, I am still using iMovie and iDVD version 4, so Apple may have changed stuff around from version 4 to version 6. But in general, I have the customize "drawer" open on the left of the screen. I then pick Media on the top and the pull down under that should be "Audio" (the other two choices being Photos and Movies).
I then have two windows below for iTunes. The top window shows all the playlists and the selection for "Library" which is for all songs. The bottom window shows the songs in the selection you picked above (everything if you selected Library or just the songs in a particular playlist).
The middle bar between the two windows has a little DOT you can grab and drag up or down see make either window larger, so if you don't see much of the top screen, grab it and make the top screen larger.
So first question is, do you see what I described above? And shown below?

Adding / deleting audio tracks causes crash

Has anyone experienced this ? I'm troubleshooting a large project and not sure yet if it has been corrupt. Tried to delete audio tracks to streamline session and instead it crashes. Opening a logic template or another session all together works as it should.

Think I fixed problem. Went into environment, selected a channel then a message came up saying, Warning selected environment objects have an unknown or illegal format. Please delete and create them again. So I did as told then created a new channel to playback a sample and its repeated regions. Since then I could delete and add tracks without crashing. I think recording onto an audio object originally created in Logic 7 that was part of the template I loaded up into Logic 8 may have caused the illegal format error.

Adding Multiple audio tracks

Hi people.
How can I add multiple Audio tracks on a video which then can be switched on a DVD remote control?
Please help.
thanks in advance.

jagthandi,
I agree with you on the separate purchase of Encore. It's a great authoring program. Until CS3, it was sold as a stand-alone, though was also included in the CS2 Production Studio, which is how I came by it. Adobe began integrating it more and more closely to Premiere Pro, so that became more of a "module," than a stand-alone. As of CS3 it only came bundled with P-Pro. Good on one hand, but not so good, on the other. Having used it for many years now, I would be loathe to use any other authoring application.
It seems that Sony has done similar with their DVD Architect Pro, only bundling it with Vegas Pro.
What this means is that there are now few full-featured authoring applications in an affordable price range. DVD Studio Pro being one of the few, and its interface is not as clean as Encore's. It offers potentially more power, but you have to do some basic programming to use that power. At the top of the list is Sonic Scenarist, but at around US$50K, complete, it's not really an option. Also, its interface takes years to learn.
So very glad that I have Encore2. I will likely never part with that program, as it does 99% of what I would ever want from an authoring application. That last 1% can usually be done with some creative workarounds.

Adding multiple audio tracks to a multicam file

I am editing a multi cam production- and have 8 different audio tracks- separate from the movie files. I have made a multi cam file but any ideas on how to add all 8 tracks of audio to this multi cam file- then edit- and then question no. 2: how do I then export all edited audio tracks separately for my sound engineer to mix them? Thanks a lot

Hi Tom- thanks for your response I´m not quite sure if you get me right... I have made a multicam file- consisting of 4 cameras- and now I want to add 8 audio tracks that are not connected to any of the cameras- but that were recorded seperately- and have all these 8 tracks lying underneath all the camera angles- being synced up with the cameras internal mics- but I want to edit the 8 audio tracks and finally export them. Thanks

Recording Audio Track on iPhone - Loop Function off - howto?

How can I record an ongoing Audio track without Garage Band overwriting my recording every 8 bars?
Is surely simple - I just can't find the function.
Thank you in advance.

You need to change the length of the song sections and turn on "automatic" for your recording, see this Help page: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chs3c3ef5dc
Change the length of a section
Open the song section controls and tap the section you want to change.
Tap the up or down arrow next to Manual to lengthen or shorten the section incrementally by bars. You can swipe vertically to change it in larger values.
If you want the section to match the length of your next recording (to the nearest bar), turn on Automatic before you record. This is especially useful when recording improvisations or longer parts. The Automatic option is available only for the last (rightmost) section in a song.
Tap anywhere in Tracks view to close the song section controls.
When you shorten a section, any regions extending past the end of the section are shortened. When you lengthen a section, all regions that extend from the beginning to the end of the section now loop to the new end of the section. A section can be any number of bars, and the overall song can be up to 320 bars long.
