Alternate audio for menu

I have a motion menu with audio - I want to click a button and have a different audio play - seems simple but I can't get anything to work - can anyone help?
Thanks

On your TV it appears that way, but on a different set up you could even see a black screen in between the two menus, depending on the player being used. In a large number of set tops you'll get a pause as menus change in DVDSP built discs, and my advice would be to make the change into more of a feature of the disc - don't try to make it look seamless, add in a visual effect and make it obvious that the user has changed the audio. If you end up on an identical menu or a menu with a title for the new background track playing (for example) is up to you, but you going to struggle to make it look as if nothing else but audio changes.
As Houghts said, you could set your menu assets in to a track and make use of the ability to play different audio streams there. There are limitations with the navigation when you use a track based menu, but you do at least have the advantage of being able to use multiple streams.

  • HT3625 I don't have a "Use audio for:" menu in my system preferences

    When I go to system preferences and try to follow all of the directions in the article, there isn't any menu or anything that says "Use audio for:" when I'm on the input tab of the sound preferences.  How can I get my MBP use the audio input instead of detecting it as an audio output? 

    malcolm007,
    Here is a pin description of the 4 pin connector, there impedence and shunting that needs to be taken into consideration, not to mention the response curve that this is optomized for,ie:headset mic response. There could be potential damaged cause by incorrect matching and shunting (shorting certain pins to ground) you might consider calling Apple and see what their response is. You can even try experimenting at your own risk, I myself can make no recomendation and would advise against it as you could risk damaging your device. I found no data that would allow an informed decision on my part. The audio quality would most likely be sub par for a music type of application anyways, as it is most likey optomized for the headset mic as prviously mentioned.
    USB interfaces are cheap and most sound good and will definatly provide a safe and flexible way to get in.
    IMHO

  • HT3625 But my Mac in the Sound Input menu does not have the "Use audio for" menu option.

    I want to use the audio port in my MacBook Pro 13 to record stereo sound, under the Preference>Sound> Input menu, there is no option of "use audio for".

    Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13" do not have audio in through the headphone jack.
    The 13" with retina and the 15" have it.

  • Audio Commentary  aka  alternate audio file for movie.. How?

    Hi folks,
    I love this discussion group btw... awesome...
    So, I've got my feature film done, we did a 1 week run at the theatre now, we are almost ready for our DVD release but want to do one of those really cool Director Actor commentary / alternate audio files for the movie. Is this done in FCE or iDVD? and any tips?
    Best Regards,
    Mark

    ... I think there is a workaround with FCE + iDVD.
    You could duplicate the original sequence in FCE, then add your alternate audio to the timeline of the new sequence. (Record your commentary and add as a 2d audio track (say, a3/a4)). Raise & drop the audio levels appropriately across the length of your regular and alternate audio tracks. Export the resulting video to QT Movie and import it into iDVD along with your original Movie.
    You will now have 2 versions of your Movie & can put them both in a single iDVD project (of course, subject to the limitations of the total length you can put on a DVD (~2 hours for a single layer DVD, ~4 hours on a dual-layer DVD.) Or just put them on separate DVDs if your Movie is too long to fit both on a single disc.

  • Alternate audio not working

    I have a video encoded with Handbrake where there are two audio tracks... the main audio which is stereo and an alternate track that is surround. The problem is that in the audio select menu, both tracks are listed as English and both are checked. I'm only hearing the stereo soundtrack (the surround one has completely different audio, so I'd know if it was playing). Do surround soundtracks only play through the digital out? Will turning that off help?
    I could potentially re-encode the alternate track as just stereo, but I'm thinking that the alternate audio feature in the AppleTV is only for multiple languages, so it only plays the first one that matches the language set in Settings. Both being English, I'm only getting the main track, and it's not letting me switch to the other one. I'm assuming this is because any English track is on whenever English is selected as the language, and when one or more tracks match the selected language, only the first one plays.
    Is this making sense? Can anyone help me?

    I'm having the exact same problem... So confused... Why would it have that option if it doesnt do anything? I used Handbrake as well. The 2 audio tracks show up on Quicktime and iTunes, but I cant use em when theyre on my iPod. Please help

  • 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!

  • Use movie audio as menu audio

    Hello,
    I'm using iLife 09 and I created a movie in iMovie which I imported to iDVD. I'm just using a simple one step menu for the top level of iDVD. I filled the Dropzone with some clips from my movie. What I can't figure out is how in the world to get the audio for the menu to be the audio from what's on the screen. In other words, part of my iMovie is playing in the menu. I just want that audio to be playing, in sync, while the menu is up. Any ideas? Thanks

    You could open the menu preferences where the audio bin for the menu is shown and drag the movie file from the Media Browser into it. But that would add the entire playing time of the movie to the iDVD's project playing time and might put you over the time limit.
    You can open the movie in QT Player 7 and use the File ➙ Export menu selecting Audio to Aiff option. Then open the new file again in QT Player and crop out the audio you don't want and save. Add that aiff file to the menu audio bin.

  • How do you select alternate tunings for mainstage patches?

    Hi folks,
    Sometime in the last week, I stumbled onto a menu that had a huge number of alternate tunings for some kind of Mainstage instrument.  But now I can't remember where I saw this.  In particular, I'd like to compare the normal well-tempered scale that we all use to the pythagorean scale and others.  Anyone out there know how to do this?
    Thanks,
    -mk

    Thanks!  That's a start.  I could use the User Tuning option to recreate a pythagorean scale (this is for a demonstration of the difference between well-tempered and pythagorean scales I'm doing for a music class).....but I'm sure I saw a menu somewhere that had about 40 different scales to choose from.  It must have been a menu within one of the individual software instruments, either the ESX24, the ES2 or the clavinet emulator thing (whose name I forget).  I'll keep looking, but nice to know there's another option.

  • LDT FILE GENERATION FOR MENU

    My requirement is, i want to generate LDT only for some specific subemenus for that menu.
    Is there any script or any other alternate solution for this.

  • There Is No Audio For WRNN & For Movie Trailers

    WRNN channel 6 in new jersey and new york has no audio for any of the shows that are on that channel where what you hear is a sound that is similar to what you would hear if you had no television at all when you are looking to try to set up a tv connection but can not do so. Another thing that is wrong is when you go to the search menu and put in the name of a movie the trailer for that movie is there but there is no sound. If you were to go to the search menu to put in "the departed" for example which is a martin scorcese movie with matt damon and jack nicholson you will see the trailer play but with no audio at all. Some other audio issues that exist are channel 363 encore espanol which has an all english audio when it should be in spanish and boomerang espanol 1724 which should be in spanish but it is in english. Channels 461 azteca america and 480 latv claim to have an hd version of them when you go there but when you try to watch them in hd you are redirected to telemundo hd 512. Channel 466 mega tv which was dropped on july 31 by WRNN because they were going to add al jazeera english now has its logo back which is odd because that usually means that a channel is about to be added when a logo is added where it has been reported everywhere that channel 466 should become al jazeera english at some point but now that WRNN has dropped the al jazeera new hour that was on from 5pm-6pm monday through friday that deal might not happen. Some other bizarre things that are happening is that nothing on channel 1664 ritmoson matches and you guys still have channels 394 sd and 894 hd there even though those channels got moved to 234 sd and 734 where it seems like a waste of space on the guide to keep 394 & 894.

    I'm curious if anyone can verify if this issue has been fixed or still remains? Also, I'm curious as to which stores are being used, as this is important in knowing where the corrupted index lays.

  • Can quicktime play an video track with multiple alternate audio tracks?

    Hi,
    If I have a video track with multiple alternate audio tracks (say different languages), can a user select the audio track of his choice and play in Quick time?
    Thanks,
    Apurva

    Does quick time/ safari have this capability?
    QT (i.e., the QT structure embeded in current Mac OS/device IOS versions) has the ability to switch between alternative audio tracks assuming the file is properly encoded and the compression format is supported. QT 7, QT X, iTunes, and similar app player GUIs can switch between such tracks during playback but the QT plug-in cannot. In a similar manner, devices like TV can switch between such tracks but an iPhone cannot just as an iPhone can select "Chapters" but the QT browser plug-in cannot but an iPhone file programmed with both chapters and alternate audio tracks can be played back through a TV device and access both chapters and alternative audio tracks.
    What I want to use is one video track with alternate audio tracks in a set level manifest and play this using HTTP Live streaming. I'm using the manifest mentioned here :
    http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-07#section-8.7
    Since I do not use playlists, I am not familiar with the approach in your example. If I want alternate audio and/or video tracks, I create standalone video files with these features built in. Nor do I use RTSP if that is what you mean by "live streaming" of content. If I want to "stream" the content, I use "Fast Start" files programmed to open in the QT player app which supports these features or create reference or QT Media Link files that do the same thing.
    As you mentioned, Safari on my iPhone is playing the default/first alternate audio track mentioned but not giving an option to switch tracks.
    Neither Safari nor the Video app GUIs on your iPhone have a built in switching option. The only way to switch to alternate audio tracks is to do so with QT 7 Pro or possibly iTunes before loading or streaming the video file. (Am still speaking about a standalone file here and not a programmed playlist/RTSP switch.)
    However Quick time on my Mac machine only plays the audio with the the video stream and not the alternate audio track.
    The QT player app GUI only switches between tracks that are stored as part of the standalone file. Basically, QT files may contain up to 99 individual data tracks. In alternative audio videos, multiple audio tracks are added to the file by an editor like QT 7 Pro but only one track is designated as "active." All other tracks are designated as "inactive." The QT player GUI allows the viewer to select which audio track he or she wants to hear and then turns off the current audio track and turns on the selected audio track. Otherwise all active tracks would play simultaneously.
    Is there a way to switch tracks on my iPhone on Safari?
    As previously noted, the default track can be manually changed by QT 7 Pro or, I believe, iTunes (used to have this capability) before actually loading or streaming content.
    Does quicktime have this capability?
    As far as I know, only with regard to stand alone files programmed with multiple alternate tracks. I am not a HTML, HTML5, or Java programmer so I assume there may be web alternatives here but they would be beyond the scope of my expertise.
    Do you know any free player that can do this?
    Again, I don't use either playlists or RTSP so I've never had a need to look for/use alternative players that might meet your needs. I simply find it easier to build files that work correctly in current player app/device GUIs already having these capabilities.
    Or the very last option, can I build a player to do this? If yes can you suggest where/how I start?
    Once again, I assume this might be possible but not part of my experience since, for my part, easier work flows are available.

  • Need to export audio for individual slides from slideshow recording

    I have a Captivate project that was recorded using full motion video whilst navigating through a PowerPoint slideshow. Some of the slides have now been updated, and I need to break up the original recording and extract audio for each individual slide. This will also make incremental updates easier for me going forward.
    Is there any way to do this using Captivate?
    Many thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
    Ron.

    Hi Ron.
    Do you know that each clip you record during captivate is saved as an individual Wav file?
    If you go do the Audio Menu, and then Audio Management you can see which wav file is attached to which slide.
    Are you using captivate 5?
    If you are, then the next step is to click on the speaker icon for the slides on the left side of the screen, and you can edit the audio track as needed or cut out the parts as needed....
    If this is what your doing I can explain it better, just not sure if this is what your after.

  • Trouble with ATV and Alternate Audio Tracks / Chapter Markers

    So I decided to "treat myself" and I got an ATV earlier this week. I for a long time have kept my movies and TV shows organized inside iTunes, and ATV seemed like the logical extension of that so that I don't have to sit hunched in front of my computer to get easily accessed media.
    That being said, I've been reencoding a lot of my content for a higher-quality stream for my TV. And I'm encountering a few problems.
    I'm using the newest Snapshot Build of Handbrake (which is pretty great) to create my files. I'm ripping them using the ATV preset, slightly modified:
    - H264
    - .mv4
    - 3000kbps
    - 2-pass encoding (turbo 1st pass)
    - Native anamorphic resolution
    - AC3 Dolby Pro Logic II mixdown
    - AC3 Passthru
    - Chapter Markers
    The encoded file is passed through MetaX to add complete metadata and label the chapters. Then the file is stored on an external hard drive attached to my laptop, and added into the iTunes library (while remaining on the external HD, not copied into the iTunes Music folder).
    And I end up with a great quality file that looks fantastic on my TV. However, I'm having some problems. I have no options for alternate audio or chapter selection on the ATV. If I open the files up in Quicktime, it has the options right there, plain as day, but they're nowhere to be found on the ATV.
    The only thing I can think of is that it's because I'm streaming the files, not storing them locally on the ATV, but I can't find any yay or nay on that and I'm not quite sure why that would make a difference.
    Can anybody lend a hand on figuring this out?

    I tried to follow what you are saying but not enough information here. I can only tell you that using HB on .m2t files or mpeg2 files user must uncheck Chapters in HB preferences to be able to use Chapters forward and back with the Apple remote and ATV.
    I know this does not address your problem but may give you some insight to help. When ripping I do check box chapter markers. Maybe its MetaX doing the problem I don't use that software.

  • Recording iChat Audio for Podcast

    I'm struggling to find a solution for recording audio for podcast interviews and am thinking that perhaps there's an easy answer I'm overlooking.
    I have no problem connecting to an interview subject using iChat, however, my voice levels are only 50 to 75 percent as strong as the subject's. This same situation occurs when I'm using Skype. I have all of my input levels set to maximum.
    Tests with Ecamm Call Record and Audio Hijack Pro have a similar problem.
    Also, is there a way to record audio directly from iChat with these third-party apps?

    Umm, a Pretty problem.
    I would first test with several Buddies to get their opinion on how loud you seem to them.
    I can turn up my volume but it still requires that I speak as loud as I would in a conversation and face the Mic. If I sit too far back from the mic I get too quiet no matter how I talk.
    I find this with people who test with me who confirm they have System Preferences > Sound > Input volume cranked up. (the worst are Australians sitting outside on the veranda for Breakfast and trying to show me the view with a laptop)
    As I have two Macs sitting quite close to each other I do get feedback if I connect the two in a Chat so I have to pay attention to the volume setting.
    Having said all that if the resultant recording seems too low in Volume at You end I would personally use iMovie 6 to teak the volume up when I spoke - either by Extracting it and cutting it up and increasing those portions or by using the purple and yellow dots to do so.
    The Eccam page actually says this...
    Create a Podcast
    Conference Recorder makes it easy convert your QuickTime movies into MP3 or AAC format. Simply drag a recorded QuickTime movie to the included "Convert to MP3" or "Convert to AAC" utilities, and let them do the work for you. Additionally, Conference Recorder records each side of the conversation on separate tracks, allowing for easy post-editing. The included "Split Movie Tracks" utility will automatically export each movie track to a separate file.
    This would mean that you could turn up the track for your Audio in Quicktime Pro
    Launch the file but not Playback
    Go to the Window Menu > Show Movie Properties
    Select the Audio Setting tab.
    Increase the Volume db on one Audio track and see if it your speech by playing.
    Adjust as required (Change track if required).
    Save File to save the adjustment.
    Hope this helps.
