Controlling which RED audio tracks to import

Is there any way to control which audio tracks are imported when working with RED R3D files?
This is probably user error, but the company that we use for Red shoots has their camera set up so that the talent audio is on track 2 (with track 1 and 3 being empty, but still active). So I get three mono tracks for each clip I import.

After you import, and before you use any of the clips in a sequence, select them and go to Clip > Modify > Audio Channels. There are a number of options in that dialog for mapping source audio channels as you need.

  • Muted red audio track?

    Hello.
    I was working on this project last night and audio was working perfectly. Today I've re-opened the project and found out that all audio sub-clips are red and no audio is played for those sub-clips:
    I've tried right-clicking everywhere but I'm unable to find a way to get audio back on those clips.
    Also, if I add a new video-audio clip to the sequence, the audio is there, is only the ones I had already added those that won't play. It wouldn't be a problem if I didn't had like 40 of those small clips
    I'm a Premiere Pro noobie, so I'm not sure what I did wrong and how to fix it.
    Please help

    I've got the red audio w/ no sound issue too!  Everything was working fine, til I reloaded the project (mere minutes after I closed it.). I am using Adobe Premiere CS6.0.2 on a PC (Dell XPS8300: i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4GHz) running Windows 7.
    (First let me state, while I have been using Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements for 5+ years, I am definitely NO expert. Also, I started this post in despiration, but have concluded with my workaround that works.)
    If I recall correctly, here's what I did:
    Several months ago, I created Version 1 of the prproj in CS3. It contained only one .MOV file (filmed on my camera).
    I made several audio volume adjustments & splices throughout the file, saved it, but decided to not work on it until I bought CS6.
    In between that time, I renamed the MOV file.
    Fast forward to today, when I started to edit it in CS6. Obviously, I had to locate the renamed file. No problem, until...
    I realized the project settings were not optimal for the source file.
    I used a different project that had better settings and imported the MOV file and saved it as Version 2.
    But I did not want to lose the volume adjustments I made on the Version 1.
    I opened Version 1, unlinked the audio, copied all the audio segments, pasted it into Version 2, linked it with the video track and deleted the previous audio track already in Version 2.
    All seemed well as I continued to edit the project making several volume adjustment & new razor edits for several hours.
    I saved Version 2. Closed it to check on a different project.
    When I reopened Version 2, the Audio Track was in red and contained no information.
    It seems to still be wanting the audio to be the old filename from Version 1, or something!
    I have attempted to change the MOV filename name back to the original filename, but that did not help. Still in red.
    I have saved several versions and played around with it, but could never get the audio to link back up.
    Here's my workaround (I don't know if this will help anyone else, but unless someone has a better idea besides uninstalling/reinstalling/not-updating, which I suspect would not have fixed this issue):
    I added the original MOV file into the project, sandwiching the edited version then copy & pasted the attributes for each edited segment. That took much less time than typing this all up. .  But since I had already started this post, I figured I'd post my "fix."
    Hope it might help someone, but I still would love to know how to get the audio file to point to the right thing again!

  • Losing Audio Tracks When importing from 5.1 to 3

    I was capturing video on one of the new intel imacs in FCP 5.1. Afterwards I'm importing the files into a project on my powerbook g4 with FCP 3. For some reason I only get 1 audio track when I import the files.
    The files on my imac all say 1V and 2A and have the two separate audio tracks. But when I import them on my laptop I get only 1V and 1A. I've tried everything I can think of and changed all the settings I can but can't figure this one out. Can anybody help me?

    This has been posted by others in the past, there seems to be changes in FCP 5 and/or QuickTime that make its media not fully-readable by earlier revs of FCP.
    I would recapture in FCP 3.

  • Locating audio tracks when Importing OMF

    I have just imported an OMF from another Logic session. All my audio tracks are in the media folder and all the audio regions are in the session page in their correct places.
    But the audio isn't synced up to the regions, is there any way of not doing it manually as I have over 2000 files.
    Or is there something I can do when importing the OMF's to make sure this doesn't happen.
    I just started a new session straight from the OMF when this happened.
    I am now importing the OMF from an open session.
    Any advice greatly appreciated

  • Missing audio track when importing video into Premiere Pro CS3

    When I import my M2TS video into the editor there is no audio when viewed in the source.  There is also no audio track when I drag a clip down to the timeline.  Any fix for this?

    I have the same problem with M2TS files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The audio track is there - Adobe Premiere just doesn't recognize it. If you open the same clip in Nero Showtime, Corel Ulead VideoStudio, etc., the audio will be there. The audio is probably multiplexed.
    I have been recording High Definition TV using the Hauppauge HD PVR 1212. About 15-20 % of the M2TS files recorded will be seen as video only clips by Adobe Premiere. The remaining clips will be conformed by Premiere and you will have a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. If you convert the video only clips to .MP4 and then re-import them into Premiere you will then have the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track back and you're good to go.
    I use either Xilisoft or Arcsoft media converters to change to .MP4 files. If you use Arcsoft you will have to render the clip. The files converted by Xilisoft don't have to be rendered for playback.

  • [HELP] No audio track on imported MPG file into FCP

    Welcome to the forum, David. As Wes said, you need to DeMUX the MPEG. There are a few ways to do this. MPEG Streamclip is one, bbDemux, another is DVDxDV.

  • How can I 'join' audio tracks when importing audio book?

    HELP!!
    In the latest version of iTunes, 11.0.1, I can't find the 'JOIN Tracks' button which is needed when importing an audio CD to keep each disc treated as one book instead of storing each chapter as a separte entry.  Without this, I can't find a way to keep the chapters to play in proper order as each CD, starts with chapter 01. 
    Thank you for your help

    Join CD tracks
    When you import songs from a CD into iTunes, you can group songs so they always play together (even when you’re shuffling songs).
    Insert an audio CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive, and click No in the window that appears.
    When the songs on the CD appear in the iTunes window, hold down the Shift key to select the ones you want to join.
    Click near the top-right of the iTunes window, and choose Join CD Tracks.

  • Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

    I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
    In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
    My System:
    WinXP Pro SP2
    2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
    Intel PERL mobo
    3GB 400MHz RAM
    NVidia 7800GS video
    I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
    related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
    etc) when using any CS3 app.
    The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
    footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
    Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
    Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
    on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
    Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
    footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
    Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
    with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
    fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.

    with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
    fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
    audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
    each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
    upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
    Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
    was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
    file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
    accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
    By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:

    Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
    build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
    "planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
    Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
    which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
    deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
    display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
    was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
    identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
    jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
    doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
    Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
    The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
    Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

  • Missing Audio track controls (fader, solo, mute, sends, inserts etc...)

    After doing a "save as project" I ended up with 2 big problems. When I pull the song off the CDR and open it up on my computer the controls for some audio tracks are missing. I lose anything having to do with track control such as input, output, fade, solo, pan, inserts, buses, mute, record. The only thing i can see is the group assignment and automation pull down menus. The other problem i have is that i have to manually relink all the audio files. Why can't the session file find the audio files??? They are all in the audio files folder right next to the session file. Arg. i am running logic pro 7 and the computer that the "save project" was completed on is running logic 6 express 6.4.0.

    I'll take a stab at it.
    Sounds like your parameters are not viewed. In the arrange window menus - there should be a view menu and it allows you select what things to see for each track.
    Maybe view parameters or view channel strip only settings may help.
    Not sitting in front of Logic at the moment.
    May have something to do with goign from L6 to L7,but i'm only guessing on that one.
    hope this helps

  • Audio track souce controls are missing

    The source controls for both audio tracks have suddenly disappeared my time line. It doesn't matter if I open old projects or create new ones, they're not there. I can't find anything about toggling them on or off. The destination track targeting controls are still there.
    Is this a feature that can be removed (but why would anyone want to do that) or do you think perhaps there's a glitch in the software (and if so, what to do about it) ?

  • Audio tracks output splitter method? or splitter plug-in? PLEASE Help

    Fellow Logic-addicts,
    I am scratching my head around a problem.
    I already use a lot of external hardware processing, and nearly always as inserts
    processing(compressors,eq,analogue filtering)
    Until sometime ago I did the same for using more send-return type of fx like
    reverb/delays/modulation etc....
    Thus I had to duplicate a dry audiotrack and process it, and bounce then blend in with the other track.
    In a recent project I mixed, I ended up with some sessions with a leadvocal track
    and 5 copies of this track all processed through various fx like short reverb,short delay, long delay, doubler etc..., because of using hardware fx.
    I wonder if it's possible in Logic to insert the hardware fx on a bus, so I could simply use the aux sends on the track's channel strip to send to that bus and to avoid piling up identical audio files in a Logic project, which also is clumsy
    in the workflow, because when I apply hardware fx to a lot of tracks there are doubles/triples everywhere and it gets confusing and too crowded?
    Other possibility, I've been searching like a madmen for years for an audio track's output splitter plug-in(like Spider in Reason), but I have found NONE
    in the AudioUnits realm.
    Does somebody know about such a plug-in to work in Logic?
    I still don't understand why the Apple-developers didn't think of including such a plug-in, because it could allow amazing routing possibilities, like in this case, you could send the audio track to the main output(1-2 or whatever)
    BUT also to alternate hardware outputs, so you can use a hardware reverb unit, + a hardware delay unit etc...to which the audio track is being sent , and then you could blend the results back in Logic more easily.
    Or more: you could even avoid copying tracks for sidechaining as you could use one track as is to main outputs but also connected to the sidechain input of other tracks processing, wich would make this also easier.
    Or what about outputting and grouping drum-tracks(kick-snare-hh-etc...) to multiple busses so you could have a very flexible setup for parallel processing, with many
    more sonic possibilities= drum-group going to a bus with hard-compression, while another goes to a softer compression, and a third one a distortion/beef bus with tape/tube processing, then you could all blend those tracks with faders, like on a real console and not piling up inserts on one bus, wich is more limited sonically, especially if the processing you use doesn't have a dry/wet knob.
    If any of you sees a better alternative, or method to achieve what I want in Logic, or want to discuss that topic and chime in, be my guest.
    I am not an expert of Logic, so you Logic geniuses= rise and shine!
    Thank you very much for your advice
    Best Regards
    Biggnik

    Wow - long post to say "can I use hardware boxes as inserts?" and the answer is yes, and you have been able to for a long time.
    I don't know why you're doing some odd "duplicated track" thing... weird...
    So, for inserts of regular channels, just stick Logic's I/O plug on the channel. Tell it which audio output you want it to send to, and which audio input to receive from. Patch up the appropriate ins and outs on your interface to your hardware box/patchbay/mixer/whatever and bob's your uncle.
    You can also do this on aux channels, so if you want to send a bunch of tracks to a hardware reverb, you'd put the I/O plug on the aux channel you're using in the same way as described above. Now simply use the sends on each channel you want to send to that aux (and therefore hardware reverb).
    Note you'll need to have software monitoring turned on.
    Another way is to just set the output of a channel or aux to the extra audio outputs on your interface, and bring the outputs of your processing hardware back into spare inputs and feed them into the Logic mix using input objects.
    Lots of ways to do it in Logic.
    And no duplicate recordings needed...
    I still don't understand why the Apple-developers didn't think of including such a plug-in, because it could allow amazing routing possibilities, like in this case, you could send the audio track to the main output(1-2 or whatever) BUT also to alternate hardware outputs, so you can use a hardware reverb unit, + a hardware delay unit etc...to which the audio track is being sent , and then you could blend the results back in Logic more easily.
    You can just do this already with mixer routing alone, no plugins necessary.

  • Folder mutes audio tracks (only)--why?

    Hi all,
    I'm a bit baffled by this one: I have a folder in a current project in which all audio tracks have somehow gotten muted. Oddly, the software instruments in this folder are not muted. The mute button for the folder is not selected. If I pull an audio track out of the folder, it does become unmuted. I suppose I could pull everything out and pack a new folder, but this folder is fairly complicated, and I don't want to have to do it over again. Is this situation the result of a preference that somehow got selected, or is the folder corrupted?
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Let's make sure that we're talking about the distinctions between what happens when you use the mute tool, when you mute a track, and when you mute a channel. The mute tool will only mute multiple regions (no matter what they are) if multiple regions were selected in the first place. Otherwise, if you have only one region muted, using the mute tool will only mute that region. A black dot will appear (should appear) on any region muted with the mute tool.
    If you mute a track, all instances of that track will be muted in the arrangement. So if you have a vocal comp spread across multiple instances of Track 1 (to allow for overlapping regions, keeping multiple (but muted) takes/phrases, if you mute any instance of Track 1, all of them get muted throughout the song. So you could have a folder with stuff on 5 instances of Track 1, another folder with 10 instances of it, and 2 instances in your Arrange window (that would be pretty sloppy programming, but whatever). And if you muted any of those Track 1's, they'd all mute.
    Then there's channel muting. It's equivalent to muting any and all tracks assigned to that channel, but it mutes the audio at the channel (meaning it's pretty much instantaneous when you hit the mute button) as opposed to muting audio from the track level (where there's always a bit of a delay if audio's playing and you mute the track).

  • Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

    I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12.  Imported a project that I had created with PE 9.  Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks.  But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
    Any idea what can cause this?

    With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
    Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
    Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
    Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
    Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
    I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
    Good luck,
