Can I move an audio track in between frames

Hello All
I'm on a Mac using CS5.5
I imported and placed on the timeline a live concert piece that consists of audio and video.
On the 2nd audio track I placed the studio recorded version of the song.
I'm trying to exactly sync the two, but the they are like a half a frame apart and I cant get the either of the track to place between or nudge between frames. I can see this by looking at their audio waveforms of the kick drum.
I realize that the 1/2 frame delay in visual to audio cues, ie. clapping hands, or dance steps may not be noticeable at 24 frames per second, but if I were at 15 fps or 10 fps it might be, and I just wanted to know if there was a way to nudge an audio track between frames.
Or is my only solution to go to an Audio Editing program and shave off a 1/2 frame worth of audio from the front, save and reimport into premiere.
Thanks In Advance

What you want is to enable the non-discoverable and confusingly named "Show Audio Time Units" option for the Timeline panel's flyout menu (upper-right corner).
Then, you can drag audio clips on a (audio) sample by sample basis.

Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
This is great. I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad. If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy. I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer.
I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad. I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad. But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad? I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud. I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be.

How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
What am I doing wrong?
How exactly are you doing this?
When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file. Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

WMA audio files can only placed in audio track 8 for some reason

Using CS3. The only other audio tracks that have any files in them are tracks 1 through 3 . The WMA files in track 8 were recorded from a small digital recorder.
Every other audio file..... mp3 and the captured mpeg's audio portion.... can go in any audio track.
Why are these WMA files not able to be placed in the other tracks?

Per Harm's comment, you can look at the Audio Track Header for the little "speaker" icons for each Track: one speaker = mono, two speakers = stereo, and "5.1" = a 5.1 Audio Track.
If you set up your Project/Sequence with the required Audio Track types for your Assets, you can have your mono, or 5.1 Audio Tracks almost anywhere you want, and can also change the name, from say "Audio 1" to "SFX_Mono_01."
Also, if you have a bunch of unused Audio (or Video) Tracks, you can Delete those, or can create new ones, about wherever you wish. If you do not have the proper type of Audio Track created, PrPro will create a new one, of the proper type, for you. Just drag your Asset to below the Master, and boom! a new proper Track will appear, with the Clip in it.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
Here is a good Tutorial.
If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

Move all audio track anchors at one time together

Move all audio track anchors at one time together..is this possible? I imported a remix, figured out the tempo. Now I want to make the tracks ( regions) all start on a downbeat to align with my measures..thx in advance for your assistance..

> How do you do that?
I'd begin by reading the Beat Mapping Track section in the Reference manual, p. 337...
> They are not referencing anything.
Oh, yes, they are: these anchors actually reference the first sample to be played... Presumably, they were recorded to start together and play along, right? When you dragged them, they all landed as new audio regions starting at the beginning of the same bar, since their respective anchors are all aligned at the start of the so-called region. These anchors will stick to the tick they landed to, whatever tempo change you make, unless you move the regions.
Or maybe you're missing something?...

Can AppleTV play multiple audio tracks in a movie?

I recently discovered (pretty much by accident) that iTunes and the iPhone supports multiple audio tracks in a single m4v video file. So I've started ripping my DVDs using Handbrake with both the main audio and the commentary track.
In iTunes and my iPhone I can swop between the two at will, but I cannot find any information on how or if it's possible to switch audio tracks on the AppleTV. Does anybody know?
I'm using an AppleTV 2 with up to date software and iTunes 7.6.2 set up to sync.

this same question was asked in the last 2 days (and may even be still listed on page 1).
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1541440&tstart=15
however, the answer is no.

OMG - Help! Why can't I freely move an audio track?

I'm not a novice to iMovie '11, but this is the first time I've had to sync an audio track to the video. Basically, it's a music video. The audio track is the song. I need to sync the video to the track, and the video will be cut into numerous clips. Before Apple totally screwed with the interface, I could have two audio tracks which allowed me to freely move the audio to any point in the video. And it laid out the entire "song" so that I could just keep adding video clips to it and know where the heck I was in the audio. Now when I add an audio track, it gives me a tiny clip of it - I can't extend it to see the entire thing. When I try to add it to existing video in the timeline, it only goes to the end of the video - I can't extend it or move it to sync up. It's locked in place. Am I going to have to go through and edit the audio and the video down exactly before they sync up? That's gonna take me forever. At this point, I wish I could go back to iMovie HD where I could get this down in a straightforward way. I don't get the new system at all, and I've about had it.

Sarah, I think what is happening is you are creating a 'background audio' clip. What you can do to delete that background clip first is to go to the Project Browser on the timeline and click the colored area behind the video clips that designates the audio track. When you see a yellow highlight around the whole audio section (it will be colored in either green or purple) hit delete.
Now to drag the audio clip into the timeline you will first need at least one video clip sitting there to act as an anchor for your floating audio track. Drag the audio and drop dead center on that video clip. iMovie will understand that this is fundamentally different than a background track and give you a floating title bubble you can drag left and right as needed. And depending on the length of the song you should be able to see the whole thing if you need it by using the zoom slider underneath the Project Browser window, lower right.
When you need to cut down the length of a video clip, first select the whole thing by holding CTRL then clicking on the clp. Then drag the left/right edges of the video clips where you would like them to matchup in the beat of the song. The handles on the sides can then be used to Trim Clip to selection, to shorten the length. With the clip highlighted and the selection handles dragged into postion go to Clip Menu>Trim to selection

How can i use original audio track in video editing for iPad 2?

I am struggling to understand how the video editing apps work for iPad 2, and specifically, to understand why all the editing apps I have looked at explain how you can make these terrific video clips by ADDING audio tracks from iTunes, or. From the audio library. I just want to use the original audio on the tape? Is that so strange? Today I took a video clip of my daughter singing with her guitar. I wanted to shorten the length a bit, so I downloaded a couple of Visio editing apps. When I pulled the clip out of my Camera Roll storage into the video editing screen, there was no sound at all,though there were ways to add other sounds ( for .99cents) most frustrating is that nowhere, does Apple explain this. The tutorials just show someone editing a video of their friends ( with no sound) And adding text and music, as if it's normal not to include the actual sound that originally accompanied the video clip. Seems like i wouldn't be the only customer who would prefer to hear my daughters own voice Ina video of her singing, and would like thisexplainedbefore I started downloading editing apps. If it can't be done, couldn't This be posted?

I am not understanding your question, or your complaint, if it is a complaint.
I movies takes a video clip, including its audio track.
You have the option of mutimg it, or of importing some other sound from your music library, or narrating. What other option do you want?

Global changes on an audio track or between in and out

I've come over from Avid and on Avid I could set an in an out point on an audio track and then changes the values of volume and pan which would then be changed between the in and out points. I'm editing an interview and the radio mic channel has flipped over to one side and I want it in the middle and cannot get it to stay there. I know that I can "write" in the audio mixer and just hold it there for hours, but I'm assuming there is a simpler way. I know about paste attributes but it's not clear what I'm copying and where I'm pasting those attributes. It would be far simpler if I could just select the audio track, set it the way I want it and tell it not to change for the duration. Any ideas?
Thanks

At the lower left of the timeline, there's a button that looks sort of like an upside down V. Click it- the clip overlays. You'll see red lines appear on your audio tracks. Grab the pen tool. Using it, you can click on the red rubber band lines to place key frames where you want. in your case, click once where you want your audio to begin fading out, then click again where you want the fade to end. On this last point, drag the keyframe all the way down, vertically.
As mentioned earlier, you can do this in the viewer as well - using the pen tool.

Movies - Multiple audio tracks strange problem

This is a strange problem.
I have a .mov with 2 audio tracks. One italian (the first and active) and one english. The movie is compatible with ATV.
Using QuickTime Pro I can choose the language while watching the movie.
Using iTunes I see the movie with the first language selected on preferences (cmd+j on QuicTime Pro).
On ATV the same movie plays just English, the second language, and this is quite strange.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Greetings
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hmm, I don't really know. I have converted the DVD with 128 kbps for the two audio traks (stereo).Sounds like I need to go back and run additional tests. For my first attempt, I used two stereo tracks -- each 128 Kbps @ 44.1 KHz. For latest test used two mono tracks with the first 64 Kbps @ 44.1 KHz (keyed to English) and the second 32 Kbps @ 32 KHz (keyed to Italian).
I create a m4v video, I open with QuickTime Pro and work on the preferences for audio traks, than I save with mov extension.Had assumed we were both using similar strategies to create alternate audio movies here. Basically I create the movie with two audio tracks and then open the "Properties" window, select the first audio track (which is already set for English), set the alternate audio track pop-up for Audio Track 2, select the second audio track, set the language pop-up to Italian for this one, and use the Save As... menu option to create a Fast Sart, Standalone movie in the MOV container.
In this way I have a perfect double-language movie that, as I told, works perfectly on QuickTime and iTunes.Did have one question though. When you say you have a "perfect double-language movie that ... works perfect on QuickTime and iTunes," are you saying you can change the language in iTunes while the movie is playing? While I have no problem changing language using the "Choose language" menu command in the QT player, I have yet to be able to find a way to do this while playing in iTunes.
UPDATE: to temporally solve the problem I have changed the infos on movie properties. Calling the English audio track "Holland" (or any other language that is listed after Italian) I have solved the problem. On Tv, iTunes and Quicktime I can hear the "default" language (italian) and, just changing again the properties, I cand hear the second language.I think we are doing the same thing only I did not bother/have to use and additial language setting to get this to work.
In this case Audio Track 2 (Italian) is the default.
In this case Audio Track 1 (English) is the default.
Thus, for my test, I created two separate movies with each defaulted differently and played them back in each program/device to see which audio track played. In each case it was the "checked" default audio track and changing the "Language" setting for TV to Italian had no effect.

Using Quicktime Audio .mov As Audio Track

Hi folks.
I have an external microphone which I record into Quicktime as my audio track. Functions much better as audio for what I am recording.
My video is an independent HD camera, which I import afterwards into iMovie '09. I want to mute the camera audio, and use the microphone audio. How do I do that? It's a .mov, and I can only see it through using the iTunes importation, which is bad enough.
Do I have to translate to an MP3 first? I don't want to compress it.
Cheers

iM09 has the drag-n-drop feature that you can use with the 2nd video clip that has your audio, and simply select the "Audio Only option" when you drop it on your main clip. See if this resolves your problem.
Workaround is to convert it to any of the supported formats - AAC, MP3, etc. to use as a standalone audio track.
And don't forget to either manually reduce the volume (under Audio tab when you dbl-click the clip) of the unwanted audio track to zero, or use ducking to reduce volume of the alternate track.
