Can't export audio channel

Hi everyone,
I have this big and long project (1h30) I'm trying to export and it takes a while to do it (4-5h).
I tried couple format and I finally exported it with MPEG -> HDTV 720.
Problem the audio channel is missing. as it's really long to export it again, I tried to export only the audio part but I always get the error "Error commpiling move. Unknow error".
Expert if I'm exporting with aac format but this gives me a really ugly kinda noise.
I tried with only the 2 1st minutes of the movie and it exported well.
Any suggestion? Please this is kinda of urgent!
I'm using PE 10
Thanks!

With "Error compiling movie," I would start with the links in this Tips & Tricks article: Got "Error Compiling Movie?" This Might Help
Good luck,
Hunt

Can I combine audio channels?

I produce a weekly middle school show. We use video segments from a variety a cameras. Some apparently record in mono and some in stereo. When I export the show to mini-DV, VHS or DVD, it will not play all both channels when played in a stereo VCR/DVD player. Is there a way to export an iMovie so the audio channels are combined? Is the preferred audio source stereo or mono? Thanks!

You can't. You need FCP7 or Premiere or Avid.

Can't separate audio channels into tracks

I have four channel audio that was recorded for a short film - a wireless lav for each of the two actors, a boom, and an empty channel. I have it setup as four mono and can tick the box that turns a channel on or off but I am unable to separate this into individual tracks in order to edit their levels individually or export for my sound editor.
The sound was synced in FCP X to the video for each clip, so what I have tried is selecting "break apart clip items" for a clip, which breaks the four channel audio out into one dual stereo track. Whether I change this to four mono again or not the end result is the same - I select it and choose "break apart clip items" again, at which point then I get this:
Every time. Three tracks, one of which is positioned ahead of the other two and goes on for what would be the total duration of the take. If you click any of these tracks the Channel Configuration is grey and says "Audio Channel Configuration is unavailable for the selected clips". If you solo any of the clips it sounds like it's just a mixed version of the four original channels.
I've tried going into the timeline of a synced clip and breaking apart in there but I get the same result as above.
I need to be able to access, edit, and export these channels as individual tracks. If all I can get is a premixed version of the four tracks then how am I supposed to do a sound edit and mix?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have tried both copying the tracks to a new sequence and also tried the Preferences Managers tool (thanks for that - great tool!). Still no luck. Any other suggestions?
I've attached a screenshot in case there is something obvious that I'm missing.

New to Soundbooth....How can I export audio from a .flv file?

Hi,
I am sorta new to SB. My girlfriend has purchased a study program that has numerous .flv files on a DVD. She has asked if I can take the audio and convert each movie to an .mp3, (so that she can listen to the videos on her Iphone). I figured I could open them in SB and then export as an .mp3, which would work fine on her Iphone.
The problem I run into is that when I open the .flv files in SB, the video appears, but the audio doesnot. The .flv videos play fine in every other program. Am I doing something wrong? I figure since she purchased the DVDs (and owns the study program), that I am not doing anything illegal by removing the audio. Are they encrypted?
Any other way to do this?
Thanks,
G

Use the Share menu. Choose Export Using QuickTime.
Choose Sound to AIFF.

Can't Export Audio

Hey all, so I'm using Final Cut Pro 5.0.3, I can export video no problem, but when it comes to exporting audio, FCP will export the whole track (approx. 35 min.) but there will only be about 1 min of the audio at the begining, after that its 34 min of blank track. I'm trying to export to .aiff. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks. JCV

The only thing i can think of is make sure you have no 'in' & 'out' points marked on the timeline... if you do, FCP will only export audio between those points...
clear markers with option(alt)+X

Can you export audio tracks as AIFF? I dont get it!

I recorded some audio narration tracks and I am trying to export just the tracks one by one into an audio editing program.
Can you only export audio files to iTunes??????
Is there a way to export the files as normal audio files?
Thank you!

Ok, will do. Thanks!!!
So they don't let you set your own sample rates and such. That is pretty darn lame. Very limited control.

Can't export audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro

I'm running FCP 5.0.2 and have Soundtrack Pro 1.0. I'm trying to export audio tracks from a long FCP project I'm working on to ST Pro to clean them up. As shown in Apple's online demo videos, I want to export an audio track and then remove 'pops' and do noise reduction, etc. In FCP I right click the audio track I want and go down to 'Send To' but the option for "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" is grayed out and I can't click it.
If I unlink the tracks and then right click the audio track and 'Send To', the "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" isn't grayed out and looks like it would work. But that is only highlighting one audio track, not the other stereo track and not the video track. In the demo video all three were highlighted but when I relink all tracks and try to 'Send To' I get the grayed out "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" again.
Is there something I need to do or a step I'm missing.

You might be onto something Randy. I noticed in the Timeline if I tried to send an imported .AIF music clip to 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project' it would allow it and the option wasn't grayed out. So I looked in my Browser window and checked out the file attributes to every clip which are listed to the right of the names. Sure enough, under the AUDIO column the .AIF music files are listed as '1 Stereo' and the rest of my captured video clips are listed in the AUDIO column as '2 Mono'.
So was there a setting for me to choose during Log and Capture that would have made them '1 Stereo' as opposed to '2 Mono'? Or is this a preference setting somewhere to change that for next time? They were recorded on my camera in stereo I'm pretty sure.
Now in terms of the massive project I've already captured and edited, should I be able to export these mono tracks individualy and fix them as needed? When I click the 'Send to' 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project File' for these single mono tracks it asks me to 'Save' the file somewhere, is there a proper place to do this or just anywhere on the HD?
Thanks

Can't export audio to movie

Hi
I am trying to add music to some video footage taken with a digital camera. I was unable to extract the audio from the footage onto my arrange window using import audio from movie. I received a message saying "no active extrac
table audio to be found" (though there is audio in the footage). Then when I exported audio to movie I found that the movie was unchanged, the soundtrack I had created did not play and the original audio remained as well.
Any help would be appreciated.

H,thanks for the advice, I'll try it out tonight. Yeah I bought quick time pro especially to work with film in logic. I am soon to start working on a project with a film student friend of mine. I was literally tearing my hair out for two days figuring I had done something wrong and it turns out that this problem seems to be part of an apple conspiracy to hush up this flaw. That and the fact apple seem barely contactable when there is an issue with one of their problems only adds to the frustration. I expected more I have to say.

Can Logic Export Audio into a Movie PORTION?

I am a film composer. I'd like to export as a quicktime movie, my cue(song mix) with the appropriate portion of the movie that it is synced up to. Preferably at a user defined resolution and compression setting (ie: so I can create little preview quicktime movies to show my directors over the net).
Can this be done?
And if not, what application would be best to insert an audio file as a soundtrack into a Quicktime movie and get frame accurate results? Does PRO TOOLS do that?
Thanks in advance,
Evan EVans

sorry mate, can't be done. what you can do is;
1. with quicktimepro, extract the section that you want to do it with. you don't have to save the all the information, you can save it as a file referenced to the orginal film. when you do that, the file will only be about 165k as opposed to Gbs. so it's quick. you can then open that in logic and put your music onto the film and sync. (BTW depending on the codec you are using, you can still use movieplayer that came with authoring goodies back from OS 8 days, and that works in classic, though it doesn't play back very well, you can make the referenced file that works just fine in os x)
2. import it into imovie and edit out the bit you need, but at that rate you might as well bring the cue into imovie as well. the advnatage there is that you can export the great new codecs with first class quailty and tiny file sizes.
finally, to my knowledge protools does not allow you to extract and bounce a portion of a quicktime movie. it is a quicktime thing. you have to have quicktimepro.

Can't export alpha channel on a lower 3rd

I was able to sucessfuly change the font color of my live type.
I am intermediate to graphics and I was using the Digital Duice Editor's Took kit #10 - #239 lower third to use as a lower third while adding text in motion. I thought the alpha channel was built in. When I export in motion to .mov I get the lower third, my animated text, but a black background (no alpha to lay over the video) Slap me if this has been asked before, but I have tried a lot of things and still have the black background exported. Do I need to add the alpha overlay that comes with the lower third #239 in motion to make this a mask?
The Digital juice lower third works well in FCP and allows me to super impose it over video. Do I have to set up motion to have an alpha background before I impor the lower third?

I am intermediate to graphics and I was using the Digital Duice Editor's Took kit #10 - #239 lower third to use as a lower third while adding text in motion.< </div>
You are rendering out of Juicer 3? You have done in the past, going to FCP, and the alpha is intact? Then it must be your settings out of Juicer or you have not interpreted the alpha prperly in Motion. It might be straght or premultiplied, depending on your settings in Juicer.
Exporting out of Motion with alpha is easy if you know how to select the proper codec. It must be Animation (ther are other alpha-aware codecs but Animation is idiotproof).
Without watching over your shoulder, it's difficutl to tell whaich of the many beignner's mistakes you could be making. Once you figure it out, though, you wil lnever make them again.

Can't export audio only

Any ideas why “Audio Only” is greyed out when I try to export my project? I’ve tried both To QuickTime and to Soundtrack, no avail; could do it using QuickTime Conversion to AIFF, but why not these other ways? I just want to clean up the audio in STPro and bring it back...
Thanks!

No, I’m using FCExpressHD. I already tried pulling out the FCE.plist from my Main Library; didn’t help. But I notice there’s also a FCE.plist in my User Library, along with even more FCE stuff in a folder called Final Cut Express User Data, either Final Cut Express Files or Final Cut Express Configuration Files... Should I trash both plists or any of this other stuff?
Aside: Decided not to upgrade to FCStudio, since I’d already bought and upgraded Motion and STPro before they were locked up inside Studio, and didn’t find FCP 5 compellingly better than FCP HD... Express seems to have what I need and is more usefully tied to iMovie which I have done a LOT of work in, but SoundtrackPro is an essential!
Thanks for your help, Tom (and your cool books!)

Can't Export Audio Correctly

Hi! So I added effects to my audio to try to get rid of a fountain in the background and I did and it play normally in Premiere, but, when I export the video at the beginning of each cut audio, the noise is back and then fades out. How do I export what I see and hear in premiere so I don't get that sound? I looked at all of the filters and I don't have any markers during the audio sequence, the effects should be on the entirety of the audio.

I've seen this with certain effects that need to 'measure' the clip in order to determine how to apply the effect. It only happens on export.
The only reliable solution I've seen is to not use those effects in PP and do your audio work in Audition instead.

How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

Terry Woolf
Thanks for the reply.
The link to your prior thread is
Audio
I suspect that the issue of no audio for your .mp4 file goes to your conversion method MXF to .mp4.
Please excuse if I am saying what you already know. When you import your video into Premiere Elements (in your case 12 Mac), a project
preset is established, either by you manually or the project automatically. That project preset contains a description of the project settings
for audio as well as video. Unless you select one of the project presets which are described for use with 5.1 channel, your audio in video audio
imports into a stereo project. It is in the export area that you will find your opportunity to customize (if necessary) the settings for audio.
In the project, if applicable to your situation, you can duplicate an audio channel (See Fill Left or Fill Right under fx Effects/Audio Effects).
Please let me ask this to make sure of the details.
If you import your .mp4 with 2 channel audio (derived from your .mxf convert and dragged to Video Track 1/Audio Track 1) and cannot hear the sound....
a. do you see any evidence for an audio file in the Timeline Audio track 1?
b. if you do, how many wave forms do you see, one or two?
c. if you have the audio meters opened while you are playing back the Timeline content in Edit area, do you see 1 or 2 channels and is
there activity in both.
d. when you import the file into Project Assets, do you observe any conforming activity going on in progress bar in the lower right cover of the workspace...if
so, do you wait for it to go to completion before continuing on?
We could also try deleting the conformed audio in the Media Cache Files Folder to force the program to re-conform the audio. See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks should show you the location of the Media Cache Files Folder whose contents you will be deleting.
Please review and consider, and then let me know if I targeted your question. If not, please do not hesitate to let me know, and I will rethink my reply based
on your response.
Thank you.

Exporting audio files separately from video using a Mac

Using a Mac computer, can you export audio files separately from video in Adobe Premiere Elements 11? If so, how would I do that?
Thanks as always.

I worked through the instructions in the Classroom in a Book for exporting
the video and the audio together and the audio separately, but I am not
quite sure of some of what to check in some of the categories. I would
appreciate some guidance. The purpose of sending this project is to have
my son clean up the sound.

Reversed B&W adjustment layer; export color channel to layer; CS5.1; Ps extended (Win 7 64-bit)

I've had a serial number for 1 whole day, so I hope this isn't a completely ignorant question.
What I want to do is to have an adjustment layer that is a reversed, black and white image. I initially thought to merge B&W and reverse adjustment layers, but read that an adjustment layer may not be the target of a merge. Is the way to accomplish this to fiddle with the B&W adjustment layer sliders somehow?
Also, I think this is a related question, if I like how the black and white displayed image of a given color channel looks, how can I export that channel into a layer?
Thanks!

You can't merge adjustment layers, but you can clip one to the underlying layer (including another adjustment layer), so that it doesn't affect the layers below.
Click between the two layers in the Layers panel while holding the alt key (the cursor will change). The keyboard shortcut is alt+ctrl+G (although I don't remember if this is the default shortcut or if I made it up...I lose track).
As for turning a channel into a layer it's straightforward. Target the channel and copy, then target the RGB composite and paste (otherwise you'll just paste into the same channel).
Edit: for having had a serial number for a whole day, I must say you have an excellent grasp of the concepts. Those questions aren't ignorant at all; quite the opposite
