Audio on time-line

Is there a way to decide on which audio time-line the audio is put when dragging a clip from the viewer (or browser). I can't find out the logic how it works...
Thank you

Normally it should go on Audio tracks 1 and 2, unless you are superimposing video.
If you want to put it on different tracks you can deselect the "Linked Selection" button at the top right of the timeline window and drag your audio where you want.

Solution for: no audio in time line - conforming issues - unspecified error occurred

these are all the same issue and i have the solution for it.
Adobe has once again let down the non professional user but ignoring this bug. They have also deleted alot of my other posts on the adobe forums.. perhaps so you cannot receive help from me?? who freakin knows..
b Problem:
you import your footage and there is no audio in the time line. you see the audio clip there but no information in it. some people say its because of MPEG format but MPEG files works fine in Windows Movie Maker, Ulead, Pinnacle, Sony Vegas.. etc...
let it be known that its an Adobe Premiere issue.
b Solution:
b step 1:
close adobe premiere
b step 2:
open My Computer and go to tools at the top. From the drop down menu go to folder options. In folder options click the view tab. In the advanced settings section where it says 'Hidden files and folders' make sure 'show hidden files and folders' is selected.
b step 3:
open My computer and go to c:\ drive > Documents and settings. Now click into your user name (NOT 'All users') in my case its 'proGamer'. Now click into 'Application Data' > 'Adobe' > 'common' > 'Media Cache Files'.
b step 4:
in this folder find the files you were just trying to import by searching the name. in my case its file: 20081217030338. you will now see 3 different file types with the same file name you were importing: CFA, PEK, MPGINDEX. delete them all!
b step 5:
go back and open adobe premiere, open up your project again and it will automatically recreate those files you just deleted. hopefully correctly.
b NOTE:
If this hasn't worked then open your adobe premiere project, clear all trace of the files with no audio and start again from step 1. then after step 5 just import the files back into your project.
This has proved to work with every file i've imported that had the audio not conformed.
b your second option:
simply play your clip in WMV or VLC or what ever player you use and record the audio in real time in stereo by using some music editing like cubase or logic audio. you can also use something more friendly like 'recordpad' found here: http://www.nch.com.au/recordpad/screenshots.html now you can buy it from these guys or get it how ever else you like
lemme know how u go

dmd,
I've read plenty of places that they know about the bug and are going to fix it. Will from Adobe said so in a few older posts. It's also listed as an issue in the 4.0.1 readme.
I agree that this is the most screwed up Adobe release ever but I doubt they're deleting your posts to hide it. Never know though.....
"Adobe has once again let down the non professional user but ignoring this bug" I actually wish Adobe would forget the consumers and make Premiere Pro more friendly to professionals. Dozens of multimillion dollar movies have been edited with Avid and Final Cut over the past few years. Adobe doesn't put forth any effort make Premiere a pro application. Because they pander to the consumers and prosumers they end up messing up the product for everybody.
Premiere Elements is for consumers, Premiere Pro should be for the 'Pros'

Bleep on audio on time line

hi all i am new to fc when i have cut up my footage and put it on the time line there is just a bleeping sound on the audio tracks when played. however when scrubbing through the time line i can hear the right audio. it also plays in the viewer and canvas windows not sure what is wrong please help

Your audio format does not match your sequence settings.
Time to have a read through the intro sections of the manual - it does a good job explaining the issues.

Can only export 18 minutes of 1 hour time line

Hello
I have a completely rendered, for Neat noise reduction, time line that is just over 1 hour long by about a minute. This was an award ceremony for a client shot on Sony PMW320 camcorder with SxS card at 1080i 29.97 and set up the same in Premiere on the time line. Lights illuminating the stage at request of the CEO had been taken down much lower than they should have been because they were bothering him at the lecturn where he was speaking in pre-show checks. Consequently I had to use 12db gain which left me with a lot of noise. My plan was to use Neat noise reduction and take care of all the render times and mixing of two mono audio tracks in Premiere before giving him a Quicktime file to use in his FCP system and then he would be able to insert the reaction and floor shots from a 2nd handheld B camera which was mobile on the floor. I did not know if he had a good noise reduction software program himself and just wanted to save him all the labor.
As I am new to Premiere my first project for this for the time line did not have the audio set up correctly, but the clips were imported into the Media Browser and were able to be worked with OK for a short while before I realized I would nead to redo it for the audio. From my camera it was a continuous 1 hour take but the SxS files copied straight from my camcorder first to my 2 3TB internal drives set up for RAID 0 on my new Mac Pro from OWC built with their MPG program, were broken into 3.56GB clips of 12 min 32 second lengths.     6 core 3.46ghz CPU and Quadro 4000 GPU 48gb memory for the system.
On the second and new project with the correct audio settings, I experimented with copying those same files from the camcorder to a different 1TB internal drive. I must have done that differently, maybe by hi lighting the separate clips together and dragging them into the drive, because when I imported them into the Media Browser this time they came in as 1 continuous file. And that is what is on the noise processed and audio mixed time line.....one continuous sequence with no cuts or breaks in it.
Twice now I have tried to export the completely rendered "continuous" sequence to a 64gb flash drive with the USB 2.0 connector on the Mac. Each time the process has taken about 7 and 1/2 hours and each time it has stopped at 18 minutes and 11 seconds in. 4.29GB copied for both tries. Does anyone see something here that explains why the export would stop short each time in the same place? No error messages, and no problem with RAM as I have the 48gb.   When setting it up and the export begins it shows in the window the full 1 hour length with the start and end points it will take it from.
Thanks much
Ron

Sorry for the delay in getting back. I had woken around 3:30AM and got up to check the status of the 2nd export attempt, and when I found the same situation as the first attempt, stayed up to post here and see what reponses hopefully might be here when I got up in the morning.
Ann, there are no gaps on the time line as it is one continuous file, due I guess in how I saved it to the other disc. Just uploaded the one really good Neat profile I got on the individual file segments in the browser from the RAID drive that I had placed on the time line with the first sequence. The first three of those left a bit more noise in some spots, but a lot of noise still crawling on the right cheek of the CEO in the low light he saddled us with. Luckily the 4 try Neat really nailed it.
BUT....after typing the above I just re-inserted the Lexar flash drive and brought up its info and yep it does say, "MS-DOS (FAT 32)"    Uggghhhh! Bought it a week and a half ago from Office Depot in town. Wasn't cheap.... $178 plus tax. Still have my receipt, hopefully they will refund. This type of scenario is exactly why I bought that large a size ....64gb. To be able to have enough space to leave shooting job with a client if necessary and they could mail it back to me when the job was offloaded.
Is there any kind of flash drive that size then, that doesn't have the file size restriction I can pick up from on line or like a Frys please? I think the incredibly slow export was due to the 2.0 USB and all the Neat noise reducing information, plus HD codec I guess. 7 1/2 hour export and only 18 minutes out of the hour covered.. Are there any other convenient options to leave with a client, with maybe SATA connection, which would be safe to ship back to me in these situations that could take the jostling from shipping?
Thanks very much
Ron

Multiple use of the same video time line for different audio tracks

I have a 90 minute video timeline
I will be putting different audio tracks in multiple languages.
But as i was just editing i wondered if i could use only a segment (30 minutes ) of the timeline
along with a 30 minute audio.
Example:
So the first thing on the menu will be the whole 90 minute video
with a 90 minute music track
Second thing might be the 90 minute video with a 90 minute commentary
Third thing might be the first 30 minutes of video with a different commentary
Forth thing on the menu might be the first 30 minutes of video and 30 minutes of
a different language
Etc.
I realize i will need to make space (mb) for all the audio.....but if i could use the same video or pieces of it
that would be fantastic.
If i can do this i am presuming i should use playlists and chapter playlists to get it done?
I have never done this before and would love some feedback on an over view or tips
that might save me some guess work
Thanks for any help :-)

Hey Stan!
Thanks for your help...i think i am really getting this. And have learned a lot.
I had to go back to my computer programming and flowcharting skills to figure out the flow :-)
And i still have 153mb to spare when i build it.
I ended up lining up all the different videos and audios exactly for each time line except for 1 timeline.
Question: I know if the audio is shorter it will be ok.... but if the audio is longer than the video on a timeline ( and its the audio i assigned it by specify link )
Will the DVD keep playing until the audio is done or end when the video is done playing?
2nd Question: I am previewing the playlists with the "Preview from Here" feature
I specify the link and chapter within that timeline ( it is the only timeline with more than one chaper....the one with the longer audio than video from the question above )
For most of the audios i only need video chapter 1.....the preview here plays it ok but if i hit the skip to next (in the preview button on theright of the play button)...it goes to the next chapter #2... instead of the next timeline chapter 1 like it is programed to do from the playlist.
I am wondering if this is just fluke in the preview feature...or will it do that on the actual DVD as well?
Lastly because i am using different timelines. I am wondering if there are delays between playlists? for example...i have a long audio that continues between three timelines...i have spliced it pretty fine so it picks up perfectly on the next timeline...but i am wondering if the DVD when playing in realtime will have a little black space inbetween timelines.
Thanks again for your help and time :-)
Mark
Hiya Mark.
DVD-Video is video dominant, with the audio always following the visuals so if the audio ends berfore the video it will not (okay, should not) be a problem.
However, the other way around could go either way - if the actual video timeline has ended the audio may well truncate so I would personally add videoblack at the very least.
I am also not at all sure how you are going to work a single contiguous audio file across 3 separate playlists. This sounds flawed in concept to me (have I misunderstood your meaning?). In DVD-Video the format is graphically/visually dominant - the audio must always be tied to a visual asset be it a menu or a timeline - so there is no way to have one piece of audio playing across 3 timelines and having it play back glitch free whilst the timeline changes. You will not get a black space - it will simply stop. So unless I have misunderstood you in some way.........
As Stan says, preview is flaky - the only way to know for sure is to multiplex & burn.

Can someone please help asap! just bought fce 4 and tried uploading some footage from canon 7d and when in the time line there is audio but txt saying "unrendered" knew to programme help would be much appreciated.

and when in the time line there is audio but txt saying "unrendered", new to this programme and any help would be much appreciated.

Any time Final Cut Express must perform more calculations than your computer can handle in real time, you need to render. Rendering is the process of creating temporary video and audio render files for segments of your sequence that Final Cut Express cannot play in real time. When you render a segment of your sequence, Final Cut Express substitutes a render file for the segment during playback. Render status bars above the ruler in the Timeline indicate which sections can play back in real time and which segments require rendering. To render just click on the sequence menu and select render selection then click both.

No audio in source monitor but it works on the time line

Hi
I just started to use a Canon XF300 and I have noticed that when I double click on a file and it opens in the source monitor the video plays but I get no audio. If I drop that same clip onto the time line I get video and audio.
Is there a setting I am missing?
Thanks
Dennis

Hi
Yes both Channel 1 and 2.
Also I just came across another funny thing. After opening the first clip in the source monitor I can not open any other clips unless I open them from the time line. Double click a clip in the time line so it opens in the source monitor and then THE SOUND WORKS! Weird.

CC 2014 trial. MPEG MOVIE clips flickering on my time line! after render, and after export. tried all kinds of sequence settings,taking out transitions and effects ,even the audio tracks.....still flickering. They play fine outa the project files!? HELLL

We can not see your computer, your settings or even know what your source files are because we are not in the same room as you are!
We cant see what you are doing wrong ...so you will have to tell us a lot more and show us some screen grabs of your settings.

When I drag the imported video files to the time-line it only recognizes audio - would anyone know why?

This happened 2 days ago. Before everything was working normal. Since yesterday each time I import a video and drag it to the time line, it only allows me the drag the audio portion of the file. Even those files which I uploaded several days earlier and
worked perfectly fine - now even those files are only showing audio when dragged to the timeline. I hope I didn't make my question too confusing.
I have adobe premier PRO CC 2014 and I bought it vie creative cloud.
Would anyone know why is this happening all of the sudden?

Multiple Audio with in a single Time Line

I understand that a single time line can contain multiple audios (dubbed voices, foreign languages, director's commentary, etc). And when I do this, I can hit the "Audio" button on my DVD remote and the audio will change seemlessly while viewing the movie. This is desirable because you don't have to render several time lines of the same video. I'm trying to achieve this very thing - in order to reserve as much space on my DVD/Blu-Ray for the feature presentation. Here's my actual question.
Now that I have this single timeline with 2 audios, I want my menu buttons to interact with these different audios. I want my "PLAY FEATURE" button on the main menu to play my main time line with audio #1. Then I want my "DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY" button in the Bonus Menu to play the same time line, but with audio #2 this time. Is there a way to make Encore do this?
I was hoping there was a way to "group" that time line with the 2 audios in that they each create their own asset in the project panel (and can be linked via pick-whip), but each asset uses the same main timeline, just different audio.
I really hope I haven't written this to be more confusing than it is. I also hope you're the right guy to answer my question, and if not - can you pass me along to someone who can? I appreciate your time and thanks for reading my long-winded question.
I'm using Windows 7 and Encore 5.1

I'm not sure what your question is there, and this may be clearer to you in reading the above section of help. But the timeline (with the video asset) must have both audior tracks, or there is no savings in creating two timelines, for each audio, but each then also requiring instances of the video.

Getting the audio back on a video clip in the time line

hi all,
and happy new year!
have deleted the audio from a video clip in the time line and now want it back, how would I get the audio back?
thanks for your time
jonyfoz

Put the playhead at the beginning of the clip and press the X key. It should mark in and out point for the clip. Press the F key to match frame back to the same clip. Make sure both video and audio target tracks are set correctly and press F0 to overwrite and edit the clip with audio back into the timeline.

I have no audio in the time line?

i have no audio in the time line ,since i have mavrericks?

When you play the clip in the event browser, does it have audio?
If it the clip has audio there, you may have by accident selected "Video only" in Edit->Source Media. Set it to "All" and you should be fine.

IS the audio time line gone?

In older versions there was a time line for adjusting the volume (mixing)
over the period of your movie. I think that is now gone right?
I keep using the older version because I can incrimentally tweek volumes that
clash with other things like dialogue.

So what is a guy to do?
I use (and like) both iMovie 09 and iMovie 06. But when I need the audio time line or better quality I use iMovie 06.
If you like iMovie 06 better, as many do, you can continue to use it. I find that it works perfectly with my Mac Pro, iDVD 09 and the latest Mac OS.

Panasonic TM700 1080/50p no audio track in time line

Hi Guys
I have PP CS5 5.0.3 and a Panasonic TM700 in 1080/50P mode, audio tracks are playable in the sequence monitor and when I edit a clip and drop it into the time line there is no audio in the time line at all. I have set up a custom preset in desktop mode and set it to 1080 50 progressive and to 5.1 sound. etc and saved it as TM700 preset.
This has been frustrating me no end as you can apparently edit these files natively in PP CS5
thanks

Hi
Have you tried dragging some footage onto the new item folder (next to the dustbin) in the project panel to create a new sequence?
This will setup a new seqence with the sound track that the clip is using.
A good place to start.
I have the TM700 and use it with CS5 PP all the time @1080/50p

Can anyone help. I need to reuse my SDHC cards and transfer footage from an ongoing profect to a hard drive. Can i edit from the Hard drive or am I better transferring info striaight from camera to time line

Hi I am using a JVC GY-HM100 camera which is meant to work well with final cut pro. I have an ongoing project but need to save money and resuse the SDHC cards that are currently full of footage.
Would I be better off transferring the footage straight to the time line (as rumour has it you can do this with this camera) or store the footage on a hard drive and edit it later without risk of losing the footage.
Many thanks
Lindabob

Thanks Linda,
Here's some more info for you:
This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
Check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system. Do NOT import any of the settings etc from the old account - simply use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended - but remember, if you reinstall the system, and then use Migration Assistant (or anything else) to import all your old settings etc etc, you may well be importing the cause of the conflict in the first place.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less (about half that for Multicam). If you have a long project, work on short sections, make them into Compound Clips and then paste these into a final project for export.
If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.
