Aligning audio tracks to video

In Final cut i import my video and audio from my camera. I then export the audio to Garage Band and edit it (i don't change the length of the audio, i just try to make it sound better by adding reverb and EQ) then i export that audio to itunes and then import it back to Final Cut.
I am having problems lining up the two audio tracks in Final Cut. Im working with music video's so the audio and video must be in sync. In garage band there is a feature called "snap to grid" that allows me to slide my track to a desired increment of time. I can choose to "snap to grid" or not. By not "snapping to grid" i am able to line up tracks exactly where i want them. Is there a feature like that in Final Cut. In Final Cut, I need to be able to slide the newly imported track to exactly line up with the original audio.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello Nate
In FCP the "n" key is used to toggle on/off the snapping function.
Question: Why the convoluted workflow? How come you don't just roundtrip your audio out of FCP directly to Soundtrack Pro (instead of GarageBand) and back again?

  • How can i use original audio track in video editing for iPad 2?

    I am struggling to understand how the video editing apps work for iPad 2, and specifically, to understand why all the editing apps I have looked at explain how you can make these terrific video clips by ADDING audio tracks from iTunes, or. From the audio library. I just want to use the original audio on the tape?  Is that so strange? Today I took a video clip of my daughter singing with her guitar. I wanted to shorten the length a bit, so I downloaded a couple of Visio editing apps. When I pulled the clip out of my Camera Roll storage into the video editing screen, there was no sound at all,though there were ways to add other sounds ( for .99cents) most frustrating is that nowhere, does Apple explain this.  The tutorials just show someone editing a video of their friends ( with no sound) And adding text and music, as if it's normal not to include the actual sound that originally accompanied the video clip.  Seems like i wouldn't be the only customer who would prefer to hear my daughters own voice Ina video of her singing, and would like thisexplainedbefore I started downloading editing apps. If it can't be done, couldn't This be posted?

    I am not understanding your question, or your complaint, if it is a complaint.
    I movies takes a video clip, including its audio track. 
    You have the option of mutimg it, or of importing some other sound from your music library, or narrating.  What other option do you want?

  • Audio Tracks and Video Out of Sync!!

    I am having a problem with not only the video and audio being out of sync, but the audio tracks, left and right, are out of sync with each other. I know it isn't the camera or tape because I watch the footage while it's capturing and it is fine, plus it happens all the time, with different tapes and different cameras. What would cause this and how do I fix it? Also, how do I set my preferences to automatically start the camera when I click capture? I have it set on my iMac but I can't find it on my G5.

  • Problems Sycing multiple Audio tracks with Video. Please help

    I have a video clip from my Cannon 70D that im trying to sync with 2 seperate audio tracks from my Zoom. One LR stero track and one wireless mic track.
    I select all three clips in the event windo and chose SYNC CLIPS from the clip menu. I take the Syncronized clip and place it in the time line , but when i go to expand audio there are only two track available - The scratch audio from the camera clip and what appears to the LR audio from the Zoom. Hard to tell though because Final Cut renames the Audio for me. I did notice that the sample rate on the video and audio files are different. Could that be the problem?

    I haven't had much luck with SYNC CLIPS. I suggest you use Multicam instead.
    Go to the Inspector and set up your Canon video as Angle 1. Set Zoom XY as Angle 2, and set Zoom wireless mic as Angle 3. Then Select the clips and FILE/NEW MULTICAM CLIP.

  • Premiere not showing all audio tracks in video file?

    Hello,
    The short version of my issue is that I am not seeing all audio tracks in my imported AVI video. I know they are there, but only one track is showing.
    Longer version:
    I have an application called Action! that is used for recording games. There is a setting on this application that allows you to record your microphone as a separate audio track.  I made a 15 minute video using this. If i play this video in Action!'s media player, i can switch between my game track and my microphone track. If I play the video file in Windows Media Player, it plays both tracks. When I import this video file into Premiere (or Soundbooth) it only shows the Game track and not the microphone track. I cannot find a way to get to the microphone track. It just seems like it doesnt exist. Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance

  • How to edit both audio tracks with video that has two tracks?

    I have video that has 2 tracks with it. Both however are marked ch. 1 on the premiere timeline. The properties say they are 48000 hz audio. Now when i hilight both tracks and right click to edit in Audition, only one comes over. I am wondering a few things here. Why are they both the same channel and how can i edit both of them at once since they ae exactly the same in Audition? Do i even need both tracks?

    Well, that's another nasty problem with multicam editing in PP. It cuts only the video but not both. The audio track is always that of the first selected clip (of that in the first video track) when I create a multicam sequence. I have manually to open it in the timeline, enable or disable certain audio tracks, go back to the sequence and cut. But when I have to switch the audio for only some camera angles it is impossible, because I can only change the audio track for the whole sequence. Or do I miss something? Maybe it is another cool "design feature"?

  • Exporting mono audio tracks as mono audio tracks with video tracks

    hello,
    i'm working with dv pal 48 khz digitized files.  when i import the files into fcp7, i have a video track and 4 different mono audio tracks.  my plan is to modify each individual mono track, after exporting each as aif, editing them, and then importing them back as aif.  the problem is that when i've built a sequence with 1 video track and 4 different mono audio tracks, there doesn't seem to be a way to end up with 4 different mono audio tracks like the original, it appears that the only option is to end up with 2 stereo tracks.  can someone help me with this, which i'm sure is a very odd problem?
    kind regards,
    charlie

    If you are editing the audio with Soundtrack Pro you can use the "send to" command. It will send your project as a multi-track file so that each track can be editited independently or you can add elements to all four.
    If you have Logic, add it to the "external audio editors" list and you can use it in the same way as STP.

  • CS4- Adding a modified audio track to video - help needed ASAP

    Hi!
    I have an exhibition coming up in a couple of days and I interviewed some people for that, but they all wanted their voices changed.
    Now, I imported the avi. file and put it on the timeline. (30 fps [640x480 (1,0)], 11024 Hz - 8-bit Twos-com)
    I extracted an audio file in wav, then changed the pitch in audacity and then imported the new audio clip to CS4. But I cannot group or export them in any way. What is going on? What am I doing wrong? I need the video work with modified voices but I can't get it to work. I am losing my mind and running out of time. I would really appreciate any help!
    PS: I am a total Premiere noob. So please be patient with me.

    But I cannot group or export them in any way.
    Not sure that I am following you here. Do you mean that Audacity is not allowing you to Save_As?
    Now, if you wish to have all of your Audio Tracks into one WAV file, just do an Export, choosing Export Audio only, by unchecking Export Video. Check that Multiplexing is set to None, where it should default with Audio-only.
    Open that file in Audacity, edit as needed, then Save_As, and Import that edited Audio file. Drag it to the Timeline in a clear, Targeted Audio Track of the proper channel-count, and then you can Mute the existing Audio Track(s) in the Audio Mixer, or just turn each Track OFF in the Track Header.
    If you mean something else, help me understand what you need to do.
    Good luck,

  • How to synchronize audio track and video when transmitting by RTP

    since the audio stream and video stream are transmitted separately on the network even if in a merged data, how to synchronize the audio stream and video stream at the receiving end ?

    camelstrike wrote:
    Hi everyone!
    I've tried to make one of the processors, processor1, control the other processor, processor2, with processor1.addController(processor2) but I get a
    javax.media.IncompatibleTimeBaseException. I need to synchronize audio and video rtp-streams because they are sometimes completely out of sync.
    In JMF API Guide I've read:
    "2. Determine which Player object's time base is going to be used to drive
    the other Player objects and set the time base for the synchronized
    Player objects. Not all Player objects can assume a new time base.
    For example, if one of the Player objects you want to synchronize has
    a *push-data-source*, that Player object's time base must be used to
    drive the other Player objects."
    I'm using a custom AVReceive3 to receive rtp-streams and then I create processors for the incoming stream's datasource's, and they are ALL PushBufferDataSource's.
    Does this mean I can't synchronize these. If so is there any way I can change them into Pull...DataSources ?The RTP packets are timestamped when they leave, and they are played in order. You can't change the timebase on an RTP stream because, for all intensive purposes, it's "live" data. It plays at the speed the transmitting RTP server wants it to play, and it never gets behind because it drops out of order and old data packets.
    If your RTP streams aren't synced correctly on the receiving end, it means they aren't being synced on the transmitting end...so you should look into the other side of the equation.

  • Converting Audio track from video

    My niece has been singing in a choir for the last few years and my brother will post her performances/solos on youtube.com for the rest of the family to see. It has been a great way for us all stay together. I recently saw where you can download videos from youtube into itunes as movies, which I have done on a couple of his posts. What I wanted to know, is if there is a way for me to convert those video files (I think they are mpeg-4) into regular audio or songs? I would like to do this for two reasons, first, I thought it would be a nice way to allow my brother to put some of his daughters songs on his iPod (when I try this on my iPhone the videos are placed in the music folder and they don't mix with my other music), and second I was going to make a CD for our father who doesn't have an iPod.
    Does anyone know if there is a way capture the audio from a video file?
    Thanks.

    Josh,
    Good to know. Thanks. Sometimes I get confused on what works in which version. Glad that I do not have to deal with Avid and FCP in the course of the day. I still try to do things in AE, that I do int PrPro, and still get lost with the little differences in the GUI.

    PS glad that 4.1 is looking good for you! Hope the joy continues.

  • Get error when trying to make target a single audio track without video

    Error - iLLegal angle situation. Only the main video angle will be simulated".
    From triggering a button on a menu targeted toward an audio only track I get this error during simulation.
    But nothing gets simulated. I know that if I put in video with the audio in the track I won't get this error but should I have to?
    Dave

    Put a clip of black video in the track with the same duration as the audio.

  • How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

    I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer.  I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
    We use adobe premiere pro 4.  We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels.  When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us.  When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel.  Also useless. 
    When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down. 
    this is the problem.  Each of our  4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue.  When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language. 
    Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels?  How do you do it?
    Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

    Hi Steve,
    Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
    Thanks

  • Extract Multiple Audio Tracks from video

    Can you help me???  I have a wedding video that has been recorded on camera using the camera's microphone as well as a separate audio microphone, thus giving two audio channels on the tape.  Am I able to split these down in imovie 08?  I understand how I can extract the main audio (which seems a little pointless)but I am not sure if IMovie 08 recognizes both audio channels.  If not I may have to learn Final Cut Express quickly!!!
    Thanks in advance

    Can I ask what QT Pro is?
    Basically it is the QT Player application with the editing features "unlocked" for use. Apple charges about $30 for a code the will "unlock" a number of features (export of content, adding of tracks with or without scaling to other tracks or selected segments, the manipulating/setting of QT "properties" to include layering of audio and video, dimension scaling & placement of video content for display within the player display area, setting of audio channels, extraction/deletion of individual tracks, etc.). The features are very handy for "light" editing, creations of certain effects, conversion of content, and such. Some users would never have a need for it, others find it indispensable.
    Here is a link that may give you some idea as to what it can do: QT PRO VIDEO TUTORIALS
