Can you name video/audio tracks in FCP?

instead of V1, V2, V3... can you title or name these tracks?

I used to think it would be cool, too, way back when Media 100 was Avid's main competition. But M100 talked us out of it.
It's only a good option if the names carry through to EDL and other output options from FCP (or Avid, whatever an Avid is).
I've worked on huge audio projects, 24-30 tracks. I've never been particularly lost and I've never worked on a system where naming the tracks was possible. So it has never really struck me as useful or desirable.
Personally, I'd like to see tons of things FIXED before Apple starts adding more features and options but be sure to drop this request into the FCP FEEDBACK folder.

  • Can you freeze the audio tracks in 6.0.3

    I have students that are using voice-overs in their projects and every time they move a piece of video all of the audio shifts with the clip. These two pieces - audio and video - were each imported seperately and aligned on the tracks. Is there any way to lock the audio tracks while moving the video?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hi Tom, and welcome!
    Yes, that is very easy: Place the audio clip exactly where you want it, highlight it by clicking on it, go to Advanced menu and click on 'Lock audio clip at playhead'.
    Now, if you move or even edit the video clip, the audio clip moves with it.

  • Can you generate separate audio tracks from a Multi-Output Instrument?

    Is there a way to use the "export all tracks as audio files" function and have the multi-output assignments generate separate audio tracks? There doesn't appear to be a way to do this.
    Ideas?

    I think you'll need to bounce them out, or record them via busses...

  • Can you embed video/audio in a captivate file?

    i was wondering if it's possible to somehow embed video/audio files in a captivate slideshow so that no sidecar files are required?
    or will i always need to keep seperate linked mp3 and flv files along side the captivate file?
    thanks!

    okay thanks shekhar for you reply : ) i don't have much experience with captivate, only flash.
    i think i've figured out that when inserting an audio file (e.g. .wav) the file is actually embedded in the cptx file, meaning you don't need the .wav file as a seperate file (like for example the way linked files in indesign work).
    however, for video files, i still don't know if it works the same way. are the files embedded? or linked?
    let me put it this way: if i have a captivate file that has video and audio in it and i want to move the project to a different computer - do i need to take only the cptx file? or do i need to also move some media files as well?
    thanks

  • How do you Rearrange Video & Audio Tracks?

    I need to know how to arrange the stacking order of them

    If you're asking if you can actually move the track so that track 1 appears above track 2, don't think you can do it. You can move the contents of the track pretty easily as mentioned in the other answer.
    To add to Nick's post, you can add a track directly above a specific track by control clicking on the patch panel of the appropriate track (I think) and choose add track. And you can move a clip or series of clips directly above or below if the target track is empty in that section by selection it and then option-up (or down).

    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.

  • 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,

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 Looping Video/Audio Track to Continuously Replay?

    Do I need to script to continuously replay video audio track?
    Is there a template already written for a script?
    Thanks much,
    Chuck

    Hi - welcome to the discussions.
    You don't need to script it if all you want to do is repeat the track over and over. All you do is set the end jump of the track to go to the same track.
    However, if you want to repeat just a short audio clip over and over whilst a longer video plays then what you do is add the audio repeatedly to the track until you get to the end of the video. You can't set the audio up differently to the video, you have to play both at the same time.

  • Can you record video usb webcam

    Can you record video using final cut pro from a usb webcam? you can do that with quicktime. Can you do that with final cut pro? i tried import video from camera but it only shows isight camera that is built in the macbook.

    You can record live video from the built-in iSight camera that is standard in most macs (in fact, all but the Mac Pro and Mini). From other cameras, I doubt it. Of course, you can record with Quicktime Player and use the recorded video inside FCP X. But beware, many webcams have very low quality, low frame rate and size, so don't expect to get great video.

  • 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?

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

  • Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?

    Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?

    Hi there
    I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.
    Cheers... Rick
