Can you link Audio to any video in time line so it functions as if you imported a video with audio?

Hi there...
I have video and I also have externally recorded audio to sync with it. Now I understand that you can drag the video in (delete its audio if it has any) and then drag a audio clip into the timeline and place it under neath it. I can get it synced and all that fine.
The problem I have is that it is cumbersome to edit like this. When you import a video with embedded audio if you make a cut it cuts the video AND the audio attached to it in one go. If you do it the way I am doing now you need to add extra cuts on the audio file as well. So you effectively doubling the clicks needed to edit. Also when you are deleting clips and sliding stuff about you need to be extra careful to make sure that the audio and video stays in sync.
What I am hoping for is a way to "attach" the audio to the video with out adding a long and time consuming process of rendering out a video file with it embedded.
Solutions I have tried and failed.
GROUP : This seams like the obvious thing to do.. If I group them I can select them as one, move them as one.. but if I select the cut tool it still only cuts either the video or audio.. not both.
SEQUENCE : The other option I tried is once it is synced I make a new sequence and add the sequence with the synced audo and video to it and then edit on that. I am not editing a sequence not the raw audio and video. The problem here is that while now the cut tool cuts both the video AND audio at once and I can also move and edit easily.. the problem is that now the wave form dose not show up in the audio track when you expand it. It is just a big blank green box (even though there is audio in the original sequence)
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm still using Cs6.... I found that if you hold shift+click with the cut tool it cuts it.. I'll try link as shifting is a pain...
Maybe there is a way to set teh shift+click as the default action for the cut tool?

  • Mts files cannot imported with audio in pro cc6. how i can import mts files with audio?

    when i am importing mts files in pro cc6. every time it is being imported without audio. though original mts files have audio. how can i import mts files with audio in cc6?

    To clarify Media Browser suggestion - very important that you copy ALL content from SD card to hard drive before importing using Media Browser. If you only have the .mts files alone, there is stuff missing that is needed for Premiere to properly interpret the video/audio.

    I've been getting the error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by the computer". I can't open system preferences, disk utility, or Time Machine. I'm guessing it has something to do with my external hard drive, although it hasn't been touched lately, but I can't figure out how to solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Thanks for your quick response. I had a look at your discussion... I tried it on a Windows machine and I thought that was compatible with ExFAT?
    Therefore I need to attempt to use my external hard drive with a machine that boasts OS X 10.6.5 or above and then it should work?

  • HT1175 How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    I can read your question a number of ways.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your computer you wish to include in Time Machine backup.. just make sure it is HFS+ formatted and remove it from the exclusion list in the TM preferences.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your TC for backup,
    You can plug a USB disk into a Time Capsule as long as it is compatible.. and the disk is formatted HFS+, ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
    You need a USB powered hub if you want to use multiple hard disks and even one might still need a hub.
    Not all external drives are recogised but for example the Touro Deskpro works fine.
    You can buy them up to 4TB.. how much added space do you want.
    Also notice that USB 2 on a TC or AE is slow.. I mean half the speed of the same disk plugged into your computer so consider if speed is relevant to you.
    You cannot use TM to backup network disks.. again I am not 100% sure what the question means.

  • Display video on time line is blank (white) Error message appears

    Display video on time line is blank (white) Error message appears stating display drivers are incompatible. Upgrade Display Drivers. According to computer software all drivers are current

    VDOSurger
    Back in the days of Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 BadDrivers.txt file took on a life of its own after I started the following thread on that display card error.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3177024
    The following is a significant excerpt from that thread in which Daksha123 went into BadDrivers.txt file and what it is all about
    (It was/is my understanding the Daksha123 was writing at the time from Adobe.) Dakasha in an earlier post in that thread gave the BadDriver.txt deletion fix  which worked for me and so many others. Mine at least on a permanent basis.
    Dakaha123 wrote:
    If GPU card is available on a system, PRE9 uses that card for faster and smoother playback. If the driver version installed on the mechine is not compatible with PRE9,  that driver version is stored in BadDrivers.txt file and then PRE9 runs in pure software mode to avoid any further crashes/problems due to that bad driver. It generally happens when driver promises to support some GPU capabilities but actually doesn't support those capabilities at all...
    In this scenario, PRE9 shows a warning message to users that driver installed on the machine is not compatible and user should update display driver.  Generally updating to latest display driver should solve this problem: if latest driver is compatibe with PRE9, PRE9 will run in normal mode with faster and smoother playback. (As in case of Hunt & jjjbbbqqq)
    Sometimes, as in case of Ron, even the latest driver shows *inconsistent* incomaptibility with PRE9. And in this case deleting "BadDrivers.txt" file should work.
    If an user is observing consistent incompatibility (even after deleting "BadDrivers.txt" file the same message pops up again) with the latest driver then that driver is really a bad driver for PRE9 and with that driver PRE9 will always run in pure software mode. There is a very little probability of this kind of card and driver.
    So in summary,
    if user is getting warning message : "We have detected an incompatible display driver. To get a better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver "
    1. User should try to get the latest driver for the card available on those systems,
    2. If user is getting same message again even after updating the driver, try to re-launch app after deleting BadDrivers.txt file,
    3. If even deleting “BadDrivers.txt” is not working and they are again getting same message, then that driver is really a bad driver for PRE9. PRE9 will run in pure software mode in that case.

  • Upgrading DigiStills camera so movies can be imported to imovie with audio

    Hi
    I currently have a Sony Digi stills camera that shoots little movies in mpeg 1 muxed format that are great BUT imovie won't allow me to import the audio into imovie HD (wrong format!)
    Can anyone recomend or tell me where to find a list of digi stills cameras that WILL allow me to shoot short film clips and import the results into imovie with audio intact.
    Or failing that let me know what formats are supported so i can check before buying another stills camera
    many thanks
    SSH

    I have a Sony Cybershot that also takes movies like yours. They will import into iPhoto as little Quick Time movies with audio intact. I just open them in iPhoto, press the "record" button on my iMovie audio microphone, then start the Quick Time movie. I have to cut and line up the audio to match the video in iMovie, but it's the best solution I can come up with thus far. Anyone come up with anything easier?

  • Can only export 18 minutes of 1 hour time line

    Hello
    I have a completely rendered, for Neat noise reduction, time line that is just over 1 hour long by about a minute.  This was an award ceremony for a client shot on Sony PMW320 camcorder with SxS card at 1080i 29.97 and set up the same in Premiere on the time line.  Lights illuminating the stage at request of the CEO had been taken down much lower than they should have been because they were bothering him at the lecturn where he was speaking in pre-show checks.  Consequently I had to use 12db gain which left me with a lot of noise.  My plan was to use Neat noise reduction and take care of all the render times and mixing of two mono audio tracks in Premiere before giving him a Quicktime file to use in his FCP system and then he would be able to insert the reaction and floor shots from a 2nd handheld B camera which was mobile on the floor.  I did not know if he had a good noise reduction software program himself and just wanted to save him all the labor.
    As I am new to Premiere my first project for this for the time line did not have the audio set up correctly, but the clips were imported into the Media Browser and were able to be worked with OK for a short while before I realized I would nead to redo it for the audio.  From my camera it was a continuous 1 hour take but the SxS files copied straight from my camcorder first to my 2 3TB internal drives set up for RAID 0 on my new Mac Pro from OWC built with their MPG program, were broken into 3.56GB clips of 12 min 32 second lengths.     6 core 3.46ghz CPU and Quadro 4000 GPU  48gb memory for the system.
    On the second and new project with the correct audio settings, I experimented with copying those same files from the camcorder to a different 1TB internal drive.  I must have done that differently, maybe by hi lighting the separate clips together and dragging them into the drive, because when I imported them into the Media Browser this time they came in as 1 continuous file.  And that is what is on the noise processed and audio mixed time line.....one continuous sequence with no cuts or breaks in it.
    Twice now I have tried to export the completely rendered "continuous" sequence to a 64gb flash drive with the USB 2.0 connector on the Mac.  Each time the process has taken about 7 and 1/2 hours and each time it has stopped at 18 minutes and 11 seconds in.  4.29GB copied for both tries.  Does anyone see something here that explains why the export would stop short each time in the same place?  No error messages, and no problem with RAM as I have the 48gb.   When setting it up and the export begins it shows in the window the full 1 hour length with the start and end points it will take it from.
    Thanks much
    Ron

    Sorry for the delay in getting back.  I had woken around 3:30AM and got up to check the status of the 2nd export attempt, and when I found the same situation as the first attempt, stayed up to post here and see what reponses hopefully might be here when I got up in the morning.
    Ann, there are no gaps on the time line as it is one continuous file, due I guess in how I saved it to the other disc.  Just uploaded the one really good Neat profile I got on the individual file segments in the browser from the RAID drive that I had placed on the time line with the first sequence.  The first three of those left a bit more noise in some spots, but a lot of noise still crawling on the right cheek of the CEO in the low light he saddled us with.  Luckily the 4 try Neat really nailed it. 
    BUT....after typing the above I just re-inserted the Lexar flash drive and brought up its info and yep it does say, "MS-DOS (FAT 32)"    Uggghhhh!  Bought it a week and a half ago from Office Depot in town.  Wasn't cheap.... $178 plus tax.  Still have my receipt, hopefully they will refund.  This type of scenario is exactly why I bought that large a size ....64gb.  To be able to have enough space to leave shooting job with a client if necessary and they could mail it back to me when the job was offloaded.
    Is there any kind of flash drive that size then, that doesn't have the file size restriction I can pick up from on line or like a Frys please?  I think the incredibly slow export was due to the 2.0 USB and all the Neat noise reducing information, plus HD codec I guess.  7 1/2 hour export and only 18 minutes out of the hour covered..  Are there any other convenient options to leave with a client, with maybe SATA connection, which would be safe to ship back to me in these situations that could take the jostling from shipping?
    Thanks very much

  • Button link to a specific frame in time line

    Ok I have created my buttons and the content for the specific
    frames. I have named the button and given it an instance name. I
    have also given my specific frame a name and set that label type to
    Name.
    Whats the code for turning getting my button to link to a
    specific frame?
    I've also done the stop() code in each frame as I want it to
    stop at each frame until the button is clicked again.
    I have more than one button and each will link to a different
    frame.
    Thanks.

    I've duplicated an FLA with exactly the assets you have in
    the same places, with the code on the main timeline. And mine
    didn't work, just the same problem as you had. The solution I
    proposed above works, but it is not the only way (See #2 below).
    On Frame 1, select the UIScrollbar. if you look in the
    Parameters tab of your UIScrollbar component, you'll notice that
    the
    scrolltargetName refers to
    Instance_0. This is a default instance name assigned by the
    Flash compiler, because you did not give your dynamic textfield an
    instance, and your UIscollbar is referencing that. Now go to Frame
    4. You will find that your dynamic textfield has the same instance
    name, and the UIScrollbar is referencing the same instance. Problem
    is, you have more than one textfield on more than one frame using
    and referencing the same instance name, your UIScrollbars will get
    confused as to which textfield is actually "Instance_0". The moment
    you click to another frame, you've confused the UIScrollbar(s), so
    they never work again.
    The solution is simple.
    First, put a stop() action on the first frame, if you have
    not already done so, so your timeline stays put until you click on
    a button.
    Then you can solve the problem in one of two ways:
    Give your textfields different instance names, and make sure
    the
    scrolltargetName property of each UIScrollbar refers to its
    respective textfield.
    Or set the text dynamically, which after all is what a dynamic
    textfield is for. Have only one textfield/UIscrollbar combo, on the
    first frame, and place code on a keyframe for each section which
    changes the
    text or
    htmlText property of the textfield.
    That should work. It did on mine.

  • Importing leaves me with audio a few seconds off and I still have to render

    When I import the last few times, I have to render the sequence after wards. this means that I cannot edit from the sequence in the file. Frustrating! Also, my sound is always a few seconds off after I import. So I have to shift the sound or the video over to match.
    Anyone know why is this happening?
    FCP 5.0.4

    That is all the details that I can think of putting up. Oh and I have 400gigs available on my drive if that makes any difference.
    Also, i just digitized again, but only for one minute of footage and it was fine. So I cheered and said yahhhh! So then I went to digitize the entire one hour tape again, and the sound is still off.
    so I though maybe it drifted because for some reason it didn't record at the same rate. But the beginning is off by the same amount as the end and middle. I just don't get why this is happening. I export and save the sequence, I can then edit from the browser, but it is my understanding that I will lose some quality that way.
    So, until I can figure this out, I'm stuck with editing by browsing the footage in the actual timeine instead of the browser. eeeeeek!

  • Multiple use of the same video time line for different audio tracks

    I have a 90 minute video timeline
    I will be putting different audio tracks in multiple languages.
    But as i was just editing i wondered if i could use only a segment (30 minutes ) of the timeline
    along with a 30 minute audio.
    Example:
    So the first thing on the menu will be the whole 90 minute video
    with a 90 minute music track
    Second thing might be the 90 minute video with a 90 minute commentary
    Third thing might be the first 30 minutes of video with a different commentary
    Forth thing on the menu might be the first 30 minutes of video and 30 minutes of
    a different language
    Etc.
    I realize i will need to make space (mb)  for all the audio.....but if i could use the same video or pieces of it
    that would be fantastic.
    If i can do this i am presuming i should use playlists and chapter playlists to get it done?
    I have never done this before and would love some feedback on an over view or tips
    that might save me some guess work
    Thanks for any help :-)

    Hey Stan!
    Thanks for your help...i think i am really getting this. And have learned a lot.
    I had to go back to my computer programming and flowcharting skills to figure out the flow :-)
    And i still have 153mb to spare when i build it.
    I ended up lining up all the different videos and audios exactly for each time line except for 1 timeline.
    Question: I know if the audio is shorter it will be ok.... but if the audio is longer than the video on a timeline ( and its the audio i assigned it by specify link )
    Will the DVD keep playing until the audio is done or end when the video is done playing?
    2nd Question: I am previewing the playlists with the "Preview from Here" feature
    I specify the link and chapter within that timeline ( it is the only timeline with more than one chaper....the one with the longer audio than video from the question above )
    For most of the audios i only need video chapter 1.....the preview here plays it ok but if i hit the skip to next (in the preview button on theright of the play button)...it goes to the next chapter #2... instead of the next timeline chapter 1 like it is programed to do from the playlist.
    I am wondering if this is just fluke in the preview feature...or will it do that on the actual DVD as well?
    Lastly because i am using different timelines. I am wondering if there are delays between playlists? for example...i have a long audio that continues between three timelines...i have spliced it pretty fine so it picks up perfectly on the next timeline...but i am wondering if the DVD when playing in realtime will have a little black space inbetween timelines.
    Thanks again for your help and time :-)

    Hiya Mark.
    DVD-Video is video dominant, with the audio always following the visuals so if the audio ends berfore the video it will not (okay, should not) be a problem.
    However, the other way around could go either way - if the actual video timeline has ended the audio may well truncate so I would personally add videoblack at the very least.
    I am also not at all sure how you are going to work a single contiguous audio file across 3 separate playlists. This sounds flawed in concept to me (have I misunderstood your meaning?). In DVD-Video the format is graphically/visually dominant - the audio must always be tied to a visual asset be it a menu or a timeline - so there is no way to have one piece of audio playing across 3 timelines and having it play back glitch free whilst the timeline changes. You will not get a black space - it will simply stop. So unless I have misunderstood you in some way.........
    As Stan says, preview is flaky - the only way to know for sure is to multiplex & burn.

  • I can't link up the play button in Encore

    I just want one button, THE PLAY Button.
    The project has no errors and will allow a build.
    Then When I add a button It will not link.

    If you added a background, you must have a menu. So I'm going to assume you have the very basic question of how you link a button to a timeline. See screenshots.
    On the left is the project panel, with a menu, an asset (the video file with the .wmv extension), and a timeline. The middle panel is the menu viewer, where one of the buttons is selected. The right panel is the properties panel where you can see the properties of the selected object, here a button.
    In the first screenshot, the section for "Link" is empty. In the second screenshot, you can see that the "pickwhip" has been used to drag from the link to the timeline. (You link to a timeline, not to the asset.) In the third screenshot, you can see the button properties for link, now shows the timeline.

  • Recording with audio playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into real time?

    Ive recorded a test video with audio/music playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into "real" time?
    If I'd slowed the audio playback down 50% I would make the video 100% faster.
    If I'd slowed the audio playback down 100% I would make the video 200% faster.
    So its obviously somewhere inbetween speeding up by 100-200%
    Sorry but its melting my brain today and I cant remember the calculation.
    thanks

    hey all
    Thanks for the advise on this. I will explain a little more what am have/am intending to do.
    I have used Audacity to slow the song down (Effect>Change Tempo)
    Audacity will allow me slow the original song down by up to 99% (Or anything in-between up to 3 decimal places)
    Unfortunately I am working to a time restraint of 12 minutes per clip (as my DSLR will only allow up to a 12 minute clip).
    The song at normal speed is 4 minutes long.
    Originally I slowed the audio down by 50% (Making the audio 8 minutes long), lip synced to it using a rasta blaster and recorded the video using my DSLR at 720p 50fps.
    I then imported the video and audio I had been lip syncing to into FCPX.
    I sped up the video by x2 (equivalent to speeding it up 200%)
    Retime>Fast 2X
    Layered the PROPER normal speed audio back over the top and all was fine.
    Test video complete.
    (You can ignore the 65% slowed down audio I mentioned earlier if you like, that was just an example of a slower than 50% audio test)
    Firstly what I really want to do is to be able to slow the AUDIO down as much as possible (But still within the restraints of only being able to adjust FCPX retiming within a whole 1 percentage in the final video edit), but have the AUDIO of the song as near to/under 12 minutes as possible.
    I will then re-record the video again to this new slowed down audio.
    Secondly I will speed up the video from 12 minutes to 4 minutes.
    Thirdly I will layer the correct 100% Normal AUDIO on top.
    The FINISHED video should then look like everyone is wizzing around at high speed but the guitar playing/lyrics look like they are being played/sung at the normal speed.
    Whatever happens (due to the constraints of FCPX) I need the calculations to work so that FCPX is retimed exactly to a whole 1% for the final video to sync up correctly.
    So what I need to know in a nut shell is:-
    What calculation do I use to work out the percentage to slow a 4 minute song down to a 12 minute song?
    What calculation do I use to work out the percentage of how much I need to then speed the 12 minute video up to turn it back into a 4 minute video?
    My mind is melting
