Audio to Movie

It's a true drawback for me that Logic 9 in 64 bit mode can't export audio to movies. I need this a lot since I'm composing for film and need a fast way to let directors and producers hear versions of music in QT movies. I use heavy plug ins and large libraries, wich I'm sure many filmcomposers do, so 32 bit mode is not an option.
Also, it's a pain that the Audio to Movie dialogue (id I do HAVE to switch to 32 bit mode) doesn't remember your settings.
It would be fantastic if this could be solved - a real timesaver!

There are several alternative methods available to do this quickly and easily until Apple gets its u-know-what together... Here's one:
1. Print your 2-mix in your session. Add this to your arrange area on a new track. SAVE. Make note of the start frame of your cue. If you've popped your cue, make note of the SMPTE position where the pop is.
2. Open the original movie in QT as well as your 2-mix (in two separate players, natch). In the movie player, move the LEFT edit handle to approximately where you want the picture to start. Fine-tune its position using the L/R arrow keys until you arrive at the exact frame you noted in #1 above.
3. Select the 2-mix's player, CMD-C (copy).
4. Select the movie's player window and OPTCMDV (add to movie). Now move the R handle towards the left to set the end of your cue.
Of course, check playback for sync.
5. Use the TRIM command to truncate the unneeded footage at top and bottom
6. CMD-J and disable any unneeded audio (such as a temp track, if applicable)
7. Use the "Share" function to create an easily emailable movie to the creatives. Or use one of the other options to export the movie, though using the Share function (selecting the largest size) will usually look great (and sound just fine) 99% of the time, if not 100%.

Export Audio to Movie - where is that function in Logic 9?

I have noticed that a very useful function in my Logic Pro 8 (version 8.0.2) options/movie/export audio to movie is not found in the Logic 9 version. One of my friends has this version (and an Intel Mac) but I cannot help him working with music and video - I cannot find it anywhere in the Logic 9 menus. Can you help?
Best, Peter Danstrup

I just opened a quicktime movie. Added an audio track, and am looking for the option indicated in the manual: "Choose File > Export Audio to Movie". Upstream it's indicated that this option only appears if a movie is present. My movie is present, but still this option does not appear?
Ideas?

Exporting Audio to Movie, doesn;t export the audio

When I try Option>Movie>Export Audio to movie It rendereds but doesn't actully put the music into the video. Worked in 7.1 doesn;t work in 7.2.1 any plans on fixing this?

Indeed, thats what I do, but the time saving and
simiplicity of the 'Export audio to movie..."
function puts it at the top of the 'features that
really should work' for us composers to picture!
Hopefully it will be fixed soon with an update.
It's not broken. To be sure I went and tried it myself
and it worked fine. I did not even have to set the
locators, which I thought I would have to. I just dropped
the movie on a project and went to the menu. It did bring
up some dialog box I had not seen before. Something about
adding the tracks to use. It only showed track 1 but since I
could not figure out how to add the tracks I just hit OK and
it rendered all of them. Hope you get yours back up.

IWeb, audio and movie films not loading correctly

I have a personal website and want to upload some audio and movie files to it.
I created the website through my iMac's iWeb software.
I followed the instructions in the help manual and loaded the six audio files and four movie files, they all loaded correctly, however, when I logged onto my website, I can see the files there but not the playing controls.
I contacted the support dept of my domain host, and they informed me that this is a script/coding issue.
Can anyone provide any help on how I resolve this?
Thanks

yes, for some reason it seemed like at times I had to click twice, but they worked. I'll try agian

Cannot get audio on movies.

I have two atv units. both are hooked up via hdmi to their respective viewing equipment. I can hear the menu feedback clicks, etc., but cannot get audio on movies. music works fine. tv shows sometimes. Any ideas?

Try changing the Dolby Digital settings - if set to On and the device doesn't decode dolby digital you don't seem to get audio - at least on my TV.

Embed audio and movie into pdf

Since acrobat pro 9 is not available for mac I don't understand why Apple can't embed audio and movie into pdf. This is a really needed feature. Oh and also creating spreads in pages09 is needed as well. I want to use pages to create ebooks with audio and movie data etc come on Apple get it sorted .. You have an amazing program here and could clout Adobe on the head if you implemented these features.

30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos

My 30G iPod doesn't play audio in movies or videos... Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

What is the source of the videos and movies? Downloaded from the iTunes store or did you convert them from other sources? If the latter...
QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

Why does compressor settings of aac audio, stereo, create 2 channel mono from 2 discrete audio channel movies?

Why does compressor settings of aac audio, stereo, create 2 channel mono from 2 discrete audio channel movies?

well depending on how your audio is brought into your system you can select it as two streams of mono or a stereo pair. In reality, unless it's mixed in stereo, that's just two streams of mono locked together. Other streams brought in via other means, can have a lot more audio channels, e.g. 8, 16, 24.
In your case, with what you're doing, two separate channels works best, so you can control the levels of two very different audio sources. If, for instance, you were taking the feed from the mixing board during a concert, you might want their stereo out. Otherwise you might be dealing with the 1.2 zillion channels that they're mixing live.
I like separating the tracks coming in. I work with people who prefer to lock them together. Locking means the tracks move together during editing. Ok, fine, but I'm usually dealing with different audio sources, like you are: a camera mic (safety on location) and a close mic (shotgun, lav). Or I have a shotgun source and a lav. I want to determine the best source audio for the shot. Sometimes it's a lav, sometimes a different feed from somewhere else, sometimes the shotgun, and sometimes a mix of two sources. But if they're locked together and pre-set to come out evenly from both speakers there no way for me to make a determination. The other guys like to cut and figure out the audio later.

Logic 9 "Export Audio to Movie" command

What happened to the "Export Audio to Movie" command that used to be under the file menu? This is something I sorely need back.Trying to import audio into Motion 5 is not working out well - even with rendering set at the lowest settings (same with FCP10). I like to be able to see my results as I'm working, not watch choppy playback and guess where to drop in the audio. I'm running an 8 core Mac Pro with 32 G of RAM and I'm wondering if anyone has used a good work around for this problem. I wish I never updated.

I just used Quicktime Player to open the movie and dragged a bounced down version of my Logic audio on top of it. I "Saved As" and it worked fine!

"Export audio to movie" produces an all-white video or other problematic issue. Help.

The latest Logic X update seems to have broken the "export audio to movie" function. I need to re-import the movie file every time I want to export audio to movie or it results in an all-white video or a video that hangs up on a single frame. Does anyone know a good work-around or fix? I'm generally using video that is compressed in H264. I also need to deliver at that same codec. Not having to convert the original movie to a new format and then convert the version with music back to H264 again would be ideal.

Now Logic's gone racist, jeeze... what next?
Dang Clancy..... Now I have spilt coffee all over the floor!

Export Audio To Movies issue

Hi folks,
In Logic X, I can't seem to export audio to movie properly. When I click the "Export To Movie" it seems to export a short section from wherever the cursor is, so I tried moving the cursor to the start and no difference.
So, I then used the cycle area to select and export the whole track, which it did - but without the video! When I play back it's just darkness!
I had no such problems in Logic 9 - am I going mad or has anyone got any solutions?
Thanks!
Ben

Well the temporary workaround I found right now is to use the sample delay plug-in on the output 1-2 channel. Actually needs 2 instances. The mas setting is around 10000 samples. I think in my situation, the video is around 8 frames late. So I set th combination of plugs to delay the audio by around 12800 samples. Upon exporting, the sync between audio and video is close enough.
This is just a workaround. I hope apple fix it for the sake of users using Logic for score to picture purposes.

Audio to movie: in the saved movie the audio isn't treated by plug-ins

After having put some plugins on the track where there is audio region to export to the movie, I select "audio to movie" (after having selected the region). I can view the "bouncing alert box", then the "converting audio" box and then the "saving" box. But when I open the saved movie the audio isn't treated (like if no plug ins were on the track).
What I miss?

Indeed, thats what I do, but the time saving and
simiplicity of the 'Export audio to movie..."

Logic8 will not let me Export Audio to Movie

So...I have had another weird one.
Normally (in LP7) when I am working with a movie file that has audio attached to it and I want to Export Audio to Movie, Logic brings up a screen before it bounces which shows me what audio is currently attached to the movie and gives me the option to exclude or include that audio in the bounce. Since going 8 that window does not show up. Ever. Logic mixes what I want to bounce with what is already on the movie.
Anyone else having this problem?

I've solved my problem!
First I tried to export audio to a "Apple Motion JPEG A, 768 x 576, 16,7 Mill." Movie - that doesn't work! After converting the reels to "H.264 Decoder, 720 x 480 (853 x 480), 16,7 Mill." - exporting works as before :o))
Try it...

How do I export audio to movie without original music

When I export audio to movie and I open the new quicktime file there is music I didn't write as well as my own music. In the manual, after I choose the desired format options for the bounced audio file, and I enter a name and target folder for the movie a dialog is supposed to appear allowing me to choose which of the original audio tracks should be included in the new movie. That dialog box doesn't appear on my computer.

Try this.
Bounce out your music from logic.
Import Quicktime movie into the old i-movie (haven't tried the new one yet.) from here, you can extract the original audio.
Import your new music into i-movie, and lay it against the picture.
Export your new movie.
