Audio Tracks Help

Hello,
Ok I have a wmv file. Inserted into timeline. Audio track goes to track 4. When I unlink and try to move up to audio track one it doesn't move. It can't drag. Not sure if I set something up wrong in my sequence, also I notice in audio tracks 1-3 in the upper right hand corner there is like a double speaker icon. In track 4 there is only a single one and that is where my track seems to be locked. Sort of new, so is this something to do with like mono versus stereo?? If so how do I change audio tracks 1-3 to mono or just delete them??
Thanks

SOUNDBOOTH and or PREMIERE PRO CS3
I have a questions posed to me about SOUNDBOOTH editing. How can one either in SOUNDBOOTH or in PREMIERE PRO CS3 - edit the playback - so show beat by beat - is that possible? I'm not musically inclined. If I want to cut/edit a sound and match it with a similar of another - how can I go about that?
please email me as i'll forget to check here for replies - [email protected]

Can't export quicktime with 5.1 audio track - help

I have a very unusual problem that I am running into.
A festival has asked for a Pro Res Screener vs a DCP like I am used to with a 5.1 audio mix.
No problem I figure, I grab the 6 individual audio tracks from our sound guy, mastered as 5.1 L,R,C,LF,SL,SR.
I create a new sequence, lay in my Video track and the 6 audio tracks from track 1 - 6 in the same order as above.
I setup my sequence the first time to be a 5.1 sequence, with 5.1 tracks.
I set each track according to it's placement with the little 5.1 diagram in each track.
I export using pro res, and set the audio to 5.1, L,R,C,LF,SL,SR
I figure at this point all should be good. I bring the renderd file back into premiere to check the file and create a new sequence directly from the new file.
I get 1 video track with a 5.1 audio track.
This is where things get weird. There are 5 channels in the track, however the left and right tracks have a mixture of L,R,and C, there is no audio in the C track, no audio in the LF track, very slight audio in the SL track and no audio in the SR track.
What is going on?
I have tried exporting this now about 10 different ways. Figuring that the audio tracks were all mono tracks I tried to set them up as individual mono tracks 1-6 and I just end up with a 5.1 track that has mixed L,R and no audio in any of the different channels.
I've searched the web and I'm going crazy with this. i'm about to send the project off to have it digitally mastered by someone else. this is quite ridiculous.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? I figure I have to be setting up something wrong? but what? how come there are no 5.1 templates in premiere to work from?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I really hate to send this project off to someone else for such a seemingly simple task. Seriously, this is making DCP creation like a walk in the park!

Richard, thank you so much for that link. That seems to have done the trick, at least 95%. I have successfully routed all tracks to a single 5.1 file that can now be successfully exported... however, even after following his invert track trick, I am still getting nothing in my LFE track. How on earth do you rout that LFE track? Has it changed in premiere CC 2014?

Audio tracks suddenly missing from capture... need help!

Hi! I have been capturing video (with audio) successfully and routinely for months now. Suddenly, though, when I capture video... from the same device, with the same preset... the clips have only 1 Video track, and no Audio tracks. My camera is still recording audio (and I still hear it during the capture), but the audio tracks just aren't there in the resultant clip. It seems to me like FCE has just decided not to capture audio, as if to say "pffft... we don't need that." But why this happened is beyond me!
Even within this same project, I have other clips captured with audio just fine. I didn't even realize it was an option NOT to capture audio. There aren't any settings to that effect in the Capture window... i.e. there's nothing to turn OFF, so I don't know how to turn it back ON! HELP! How do I get audio back on my captured clips? Is there a way to toggle this? How can I possibly be getting video without audio when the preset has already been working for this device?
Things seemed to change once I started using the Voice Over tool. After that, none of my captured clips have audio. Something I did on or around that time changed FCE internally. I combed through the manual but didn't see any leads. They assume if you have the right preset, it'll just work. No mention of disabling audio.
Please help, because I'm just about ready to throw my Mac throw the wall. I even tried reinstalling FCE, just to get it back to the previous state, but it didn't help.
P.S. I also haven't changed anything on my camera that would affect audio. I feel this is just a setting somewhere in FCE that I can't find and don't even know where to look for it...
Thanks in advance!!

Hi. Where should I look for them? I haven't had much success finding things on my own, so please spell it out for me.
I just find this so odd... it would be one thing for the tracks to be silent or garbled, then I would think this was a cable issue or the camera. But I can't even imagine why the audio tracks would just not be there. If I saw a preference for "Video Only Capture" somewhere, it would make sense.
Anyway, thanks. Please tell me where there's a prefs file, and I'll roast it.

Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

Please help. My audio track is too low after exporting movie made with Premiere Pro to YouTube.

Hello. My crew and I recently completed post-production on an independent film. We used Adobe Premiere Pro 5.0 for video and audio editing. We had a very low budget for production, so we didn't have the best audio equipment to record sound with. So in editing, we had to do quite a bit of sound mixing to minimize background/ambient noise and interferences/distortions caused by large electrical appliances in some indoor scenes, such as taverns and cafes. We managed to clean up the audio, and the audio ultimately sounded great. However, when we exported the film to YouTube, the entire audio track sounded low. To hear the film at an adequate level on YouTube, the volume has to be turned all the way up. I'm wondering what can be done to export the film to YouTube and maintain strong, optimal audio volume/quality. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and take care.

As Jeff of Safeharbor noted, you really need to check the audio meters in Prpro with your "final" project. I found that I could have a sound level that played fine on my computer, but ... on exporting to a DVD ... was way low and required a very high setting on any other computer or a tv to be able to hear. I hadn't actually looked at the audio meters. On checking them ... yeah, the peak was down about -18, the main content of the talking-heads was below that. After raising it with PrPro's audio tools, the sound was fine.
I'd bet your sound is showing low on the meters ...

Urgent help!! In 'export audio to movie' the final option to disable the original audio has disappeared. I am no longer allowed to deselect the audio tracks. Any ideas why Logic has stopped this?

Greeting all
I'm creating a movie with a new music track and follow the appropriate steps as in the manual:
Choose format options for the bounced audio file, and click OK.
In the dialog that appears, enter a name and target folder for the movie, and click Save.Another dialog opens, allowing you to choose which of the original movie’s audio tracks should be used in the new movie.
Select the audio track that you want to retain in the new movie, and click OK.
The QuickTime movie is exported to the selected folder; it contains all selected audio tracks, plus the part of your project that is encompassed by the start and end points of the QuickTime movie.
However, this final dialog option 'select the audio tracks of movie to keep in new movie' has disappeared!!! For some reason Logic goes straight to bouncing without the offer to remove the original audio. My final movie ends up with both sets of audios. Any ideas please???
Best
Juan

It is still there and Logic did not remove it.
Did you do some trouble shooting.
Try to load a different video (with different codec) to see if it is video file related
Try a new (empty) project to see if it is project related
Try to remove Logic preferences (move the original back if this wasn't the problem because the file contains other info you might not want to lose)
Hope that helps

Premiere Elements 13 (not Pro), recorded a video with mono mic input (left channel only), need to create 2-channel (left and right) audio track for finished product. Help?

The question says it all. I have been all over the tutorials as well as the menus inside Premiere 13 and cannot find how to edit the audio track beyond basic balance, volume, etc.
I can see the Audio 1 track, shows audio in left channel only, but it will not respond to attempts to select, cut/copy, paste, etc.
Basically I just want to turn one-channel audio into two-channel audio.

25424...
Sure you do not want to give the Fill Left and Fill Right another try?
According to the Adobe document Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Effects reference
Fill Left, Fill Right
The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left channel information. For example, you might use this effect on footage shot with a monaural microphone plugged into only one channel of a camcorder, extending the voice of a speaker from one channel to both.
From what you wrote, your Premiere Pro video seems to be saying the same.
If that Premiere Elements Fill Left or Fill Right is no go, you might want to explore what you can do in this regard using the free audio editor Audacity.
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
And, then import the Audacity edited audio back into Premiere Elements project as source media.
Is the speaker system OK?
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks for the follow up.

Help importing WMV files with 4 audio tracks....

Hello,
I am using a PC to run a robot show. The show runs off of WMV files recorded with 4 audio tracks.
The "front" audio tracks are the left and right chanels for sound.
The "rear" audio tracks are the signals the show runs off of.
(If you want to see the show... it's here http://www.yorkmiss.com/Curtains.wmv
I run the audio files using the windows media player and as you can see... it works fine.
However, I would like to use the I-tunes player since I can then controld the show remotely using my I-Touch.
The problem is that every time I import one of the audio file into I-tunes, it converts it to a new type of file that "blends" the front and rear chanels of audio together.
I've tried every different option in the import prefrences list - and they all have the same result.
Does anyone know a way of playing the files "as-is" without converting them, or is there a way of converting them I do not know about?
Here's an example of one of the files:
http://www.yorkmiss.com/ShowbizKylesmom_504.wma
Any help or suggestions would be welcome and appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Beth

Yes, I understand that now... but is there a way to convert to those file types while still preserving the 4 seperate audio chanels?
Thanks, Beth

My project has lost the audio track. I imported tracks from iTunes, they are in the project but do not play, please help?

Hi...my movie project has lost the audio track. I can see it but nothing plays.
The movie record has its audio but the imported iTunes track is silent.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

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.

Help with DVD Studio Pro Audio Track/Commentary Track

Hi Everyone -
I am authoring my first DVD for a film. I believe I have everything under control - menus, chapter selections, bonus features - except for the director's commentary.
I have created 2 main menus - one with a button to turn commentary on, another menu with a button to turn commentary off.
They work fine.
But when I simulate the DVD, select commentary ON, play movie (commentary track plays) ... Then click the MENU button, it returns to the main menu with the button to turn commentary ON, but the commentary audio track (audio track 2) is still activated at this point.
Is it possible to tell it to return to audio track 1 if the menu button is pressed, or tell it to go to "main menu 2" if the menu button is pressed?
I hope my question is clear.
Thank you.
Joe G.
Houston TX

Each track and story has its own end jump and its own Remote Control selection. If I understand your problem correctly, changing the Remote Control>Menu (in the Inspector window) from Same as Disk to the appropriate Menu should fix the problem.
If not, a more complete explanation would 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.

Audio Track has gone white - cant hear it, please help!

Hi
One of my audio tracks has been highlighted white and will not play back. I have soloed the track and it wont play even though i can see the data (wave) in the region. The track is also not muted. Is the data accesible again?
Please help,
Thanks
Jonny Spall

Is the data accesible again?
Probably, it is maybe muted (does it have a bullet in it's name?-there are several places to mute). It an also be muted with the light blue "M" button-your description is a little cofusing though.

[HELP] No audio track on imported MPG file into FCP

I am trying to import a 1hr 50min mpg into FCP. If I open it in QT or even in Windows Media Player on the PC, it opens fine. However, when I import it into FCP, I get the video track, but no audio tracks. I am still rather new to FCP, so I am sure this is a simple solution. Please help.
Thanks...
Dave

Welcome to the forum, David. As Wes said, you need to DeMUX the MPEG. There are a few ways to do this. MPEG Streamclip is one, bbDemux, another is DVDxDV.
Good luck
