Audio transfer from fcp

i have a couple of questions. sent one channel of audio to stp and it opens there as stereo. how to stop that?
i can't seem to send a portion of a clip. stp keeps downloading the entire thing w/ the video. i am new at stp and i want to practice w/ small segment of audio.

Take a look at the manual.
There are two ways to "send" to STP. One is sending a single clip, the other is sending the entire multitrack.
a track shows up in STP in stereo only because that's what it was originally. A stereo track has two channels, left and right-unlike FCP where every channel is on a separate track. It all makes sense when you look at it from a sound for picture mixing perspective.
You need to decide what you're going to do first, and then send it to STP in the appropriate manner.

  • Need to export an AC3 audio file from FCP

    Does anyone know how to export (or convert to) and AC3 audio file from FCP? My compressor is not currently working, is there another way? I have Sorenson Squeeze and FCP 5.0.4. Thank you!!!
    alex

    Upload your audio file to my Public folder and wait 20 mins. I'll compress the audio to .ac3 for you if you're in a crunch. Check back in my Public Folder and I'll have it there for you.

  • Transfer from FCP to Motion with video effect

    I am trying to transfer a clip from fcp that has a video effect (matte) wehn I open it in motion the matte is no longer there, how to I transfer the clip into motion with the effect still intacted?

    None of your effects will carry over to Motion. Speed changes, color corrections, keys, etc... Why? See this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1375867&#1375867
    You can do as avidvid says and export to "fix" your effects then bring the file back in, but that won't carry the alpha over...

  • I can't get any audio playback from FCP X (or Premier Pro for that matter)…

    When I playback a clip with audio it shows good level in the meters but I get no sound from any device (internal speakers, USB headphones, 3.5mm Headphones etc etc). If I render out a clip the audio is there and plays back in QuickTIme.app.
    There are a few suspicious things like not being able to adjust the Master level slider in Sound Prefs, it's locked to Max position. I first became aware of this problem when I left After Effect and went to Premiere Pro to do an video comp that AE was choking on. PPro handled it well but no sound. Decided to try doing it in FCP X even though the interface is hard for me to 'get' striaght away I found stuff online about travel mattes but still no sound. Very frustrating I have a deadline — don't we all ;-)
    Any ideas?
    I uninstalled SoundFlower just in case. No difference. In the Audio MIDI Setup Utility.app, PremierPro and After Effexts come up as discrete devices:
    About to try zap the PRAM can't think what else to do although I found an article that says trash the audio prefs one by one.

    Make an appointment to your nearest Apple Genius bar.

  • Stereo Audio in from FCP to DVDSP

    I can't seem to figure out how to create stereo audio when compressing from FCP5.
    My workflow...
    I export my timeline using compressor
    I pick and export such as DVD 150 minutes best
    I choose all so that I have MPEGS, AIFF and Dolby AC3
    I generally don't change settings
    Once my files are compressed I drag the AC3 file into the timeline.
    There is every possiblity that I am doing it wrong. I've winged my way through DVDSP with little training and a complete lack of understanding of the manual--dang that thing is hard to make sense of!
    Thanks for the help!

    michelle:
    your export seems to be correct. when you create a track in DVDSP, you can include either the AIFF version of the audio or the AC3. AC3 takes up less space on the DVD, so you can use it to save space on the final output or just to lower your overall bit rate.
    now that you've got your assets, create a new DVDSP project, and go to the Assets tab and click the Import... button. select all three media items. display the default track and you should then be able to drag the audio and video into its timeline.
    however, if that's not working, why is that? does the audio appear (in green i think) in the track's timeline and when you play it back you just don't hear anything? or does the track reject the action of dragging the AC3 media into it?
    also note that the upper portion of the track is for video, the lower parts are for the audio (primary audio, then going down the list for alternate languages).
    if none of these are your problem, post more details so we can get you fixed up!
    later,

  • Fail to transfer from FCP

    Hi all,
    I will try my best to be clear... In FCP7, when I send an audio track to SoundtrackPro, only the video appears in ST, no audio track. I did the update of ProKit7. It's a new installation so I cannot tell if it was working before since it's the first time I am trying it.
    I am a regular user of FCP. I did a lot of movies with it. I own another station with FCP6 and it is flawless. I just bought this new 12 core station with 24GB of RAM, full equip ($25,000) and I have some problems with it. Like this one with SoundtrackPro.
    Any clue?

  • Random audio dropouts from FCP 4 to Quicktime Movie

    Never experienced this headache before, until today...
    I've built my project as per usual in FCP4 - no problem. Then I exported project as Quicktime Movie for iDVD4 but I noticed that audio disappeared in two different sections - each portion of silence lasting a minute or so.
    I went back to FCP and exported a new Quicktime Movie - almost the same result only audio disappeared in a different section for three minutes or so. Back to FCP and I built my project on a new timeline (Sequence) - same result when I exported to Quicktime but again, dropouts occur in different sections.
    At present, I'm exporting each of the 10 Sequences that make up my project as separate Quicktime Movies and so far, I've completed 2 with no audio dropouts.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem?

  • Audio issues from FCP to Compression to DVDSP regarding 24p

    This has probably been asked before. I exported my 2 hour Anamorphic 24p movie into Quicktime self contain with Audio. Once I run through compressor (.m2v and .ac3) And import the files into DVDSP, on the track it progressively goes out of sync. Its good in the beginning and then it gradually goes out of synce. Please Help.

    if your audio is in sync with the video only for the first second or so, and then gets more off as time goes by, it may be that your video is at 24fps and your audio is at 29.97 or 30. also, did you check the original move your exported (the one that went to compressor) to see if the audio was synced there?

  • Missing Audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro in Final Cut Studio 2

    I've been trying to edit a sequence from Final Cut Pro 6 in Soundtrack 2 by sending the sequence to soundtrack as a multitrack project. For some reason, when I send it, multiple audio files from the original sequence are completely missing, and I have no clue why. They're .mov files from the original import of footage.
    Anyone know why these don't transfer and how to fix it?

    Hi
    I too have had trouble with Audio from FCP 6 messing up in STP 2. My opinion is that the process works if the audio tracks in FCP are either Mono sourced or stereo sourced and are never relinked, split to mono (in the case of stereo files) in FCP during editing. God forbid you unpair a stereo track and delete one channel!
    Once in STP I have had occasions where non audio appears, the wrong track appears... or sometimes the wrong audio!
    Once in a while double clicking on the offending clip in STP to open it in a Wave window seems to show the right audio. Either saving it of closing the window ( command/w) restores the right material to the clip in STP.
    You could right click on the audio in FCP and "send to STP Audio Project". Hopefully the correct audio is opened in STP. Then save it. Now re-export the Multitrack project and see if the audio makes the trip.
    Or, you could export the Audio directly from FCP, then import it into STP and position it against the video manually.
    One warning : once things start going pear shaped in the FCP-STP workflow, it's my experience that I'm fighting problems all the way. It's why I don't use STP for FCP mixing .... I want to, but its too risky.
    I hope V3 is better.

  • Importing audio from FCP

    Is there a way to import audio projects from FCP into logic keeping the automation that the video editor has made?
    Is there a file format other than OMF that contains the automation. and can FCP export it and can logic read it?
    Is there a 3rd party application that can convert?
    Or do I have to go back to the bad old days of Pro Tools (or worse, Soundtrack "pro")? PT LE is limited for soundtrack production, isn't it?
    Is there anyone doing serious audio post production on logic, and if so, how are the projects imported?

    The problem with exporting to AIFF, is that you can't crossfade between your cuts, or normalize regions. Your just stuck with the FCP raw mix. This is OK if your cut is relatively simple and you've already crossfaded and blah, but if you've got all kinds of dynamics going on, and different types of recording, you're definitely going to want more control over the export.
    The problem with OMF, is that it doesn't translate well into LP. This seems to be a regular thing coming up on threads, apparently it works better with other audio editors but not LP. I've found that despite specifying handles on my export, non appear thus making crossfading impossible, you just get the same glitches your trying to eliminate.
    HOWEVER the great thing is that apple invented their own format XML, an apple interchangeable file format. If you import this to LP, you get REGIONS like in FCP that reference the original files on your HD, which means you can now CROSS FADE, and NORMALIZE.
    That makes me happy. I like it.

  • Omf from fcp to pro tools

    Hello there,
    Just finished offline of a feature film and done also the premix on FCP 5.0.4
    now I will export it as OMF to work at OMNIMIX. They say pro tools won't recognise the sound clips as individual clips but as whole tracks instead.
    Is this correct? and while mixing, using an omf file causes decrease in the quality of the sound.
    The sound was recorded live on location to a Fostex pd6 dvd. All the sound is copied to the HD.
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi hande,
    now I will export it as OMF to work at OMNIMIX. They
    say pro tools won't recognise the sound clips as
    individual clips but as whole tracks instead.
    Is this correct?
    No. Audio clips from FCP import as seperate audio regions in Protools, at the correct timecode locations.
    and while mixing, using an omf file
    causes decrease in the quality of the sound.
    As Michael said, there is no quality loss. How could there be? It references/copies from, the same media files.
    I agree that you may want to look elsewhere for this service. Mixing and mastering audio for video is my most commonly provided service, I can tell you with confidence that It sounds like your folks at Omnimix have never done this before.
    Also, if you've done a reference mix in FCP, render that to an mp3 or something and send it along with. Can't hurt.
    Good luck.

  • Audio missing in FCP after export

    Hi
    So I have an audio track in FCP which I sent to STP and added a limiter and reduce noise filter to. Saving it and going back to FCP I notice that 2 seconds are missing from the end of the audio.
    I sent the referenced clip with no handles.
    Now my sound is out of sync.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Did you do a Send to a Multitrack Project?
    STP expects to see 48k audio coming from FCP and send aiff 48k back as an exported file.

  • I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio t

    I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio tracks - specifically one stereo pair to be t1&t3, the other stereo pair to be t2&t4. This is the standard way requested by an international distributor of tv programmes. I understand how to set the sequence in FCP to output 4 audio tracks - either 2 stereo pairs (1&2, + 3&4), or 4 discrete tracks. But how do I then output this as a QT file?
    The manual tells me that to export multiple audio tracks, File>Export>QT Movie has it's Config pop-up menu in the Audio Settings area of the General tab of the Sequence Settings. Well, that's set for 4 discrete channels, but the QT export settings only allow for 2 mono or 1 stereo output, and that's what I get when I try it. What it says in the manual just doesn't happen.
    Exporting via Compressor, on the other hand, has an abundance of choices of 4-track outputs, none of which are labelled as anything resembling 'discrete'. Would any of those 4.0 settings suffice? Or am I likely to get myself into difficulties further down the line? As I am monitoring for this task on a 2-track audio system, I cannot confirm exactly what I am getting when I use any of those settings.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    John

    Call me naive, but I've not heard of splitting the stereo pairs like this before.
    What broadcaster? (perhaps one of our EU regulars will drop in...)
    You can do all sorts of pairing but it is coincident tracks pairing- eg 1/2 + 3/4
    Sorry I can't offer anything.

  • HT3951 When I download audio books from the library why can't Isee the files in itunes. All of the chapters do not transfer.

    When I download audio books from the library I can't find them in my itunes files.  All of the chapters do not transfer to my itouch even though they all were downloaded.

    I finally figured it out!  On the book page of itunes I went to preferences and then import settings and changed the settings from aac to mp3 and when I went back to the page there was my itouch and clicked on it and then books and there were all my books and files! deleted 3 chapters that were greyed out and transfered them again and it worked.  Thank you for your help.
