Cutting and pasting audio tracks?

Im working with mpeg-1 files that have been converted with mpegStreamclip, everythings working great, but i haven't figured out how to cut and paste audio tracks in the timeline. I am trying to copy and use sound extracted from the muxed mpeg. I want to add this ambient sound to run under stills. Any suggestions?

Hi Susan
1. Set TimeLine to audio edit = three tracks.
2. Is there audio on track two or three ? If not. Select clip with needed sound. Advance menu/Extract sound.
3. Now there is a sound portion under the selected clip. Click anywhere (un-select) and now select
the audio portion.
4. Move the Playhead (line witrh yellow triange in top) where You want Your cut in the audio clip.
5. cmd-T [apple-key + T] = a Cut
6. Move the portion in under a still (or make a copy first and move that-one)

  • Help! Cut and paste audio artifacts!

    Hey all,
    Using Garageband once I received my Mac, I was amazed at how easily I could take two tracks, merge them together, and there was no noticeable sound between the two tracks that were combined. This was a welcome relief, as the two previous programs (GuitarTracks, Cubase) I was trying on my PC were leaving the an unwanted sound change between the two; like the stopping and starting on a voice recorder.
    With how great Garageband was making this cut and paste, stop and start process, I figured Logic would also make this rather expected process easy. However, once I started to cut and paste takes around in the program, I met with the same issue; audio artifacts due to the stop and start, cut and paste of tracks. So basically, I am left feeling as though I should do everything in one long take, which is absurd.
    Please, does anyone know how to cut and paste tracks/takes and no longer worry about the present artifact between pastes?
    Thanks!

    Ok, I will look into crossfading then!
    The manual has been intimidating, and I have a deadline for what I am working on, so unfortunately time is against me. Things that I think would be called one thing are called something different (quantizing & flex-time for example).
    I am using the newb version, Logic Express 9.
    Thanks for your help!
    No probelm, I think what you're describing is noise when trying to overlay one audio file on top of another at a junction point and have them blend smoothly together. Is that correct?

  • Copy and Paste audio track MIX from one track to another??

    Hi
    What's the best way to handle this.
    I have a video with one long music track, that I mixed using Adobe Premiere's Audio Mixer.
    The musician made a new version of the track with some very slight modifications in the music.
    Rather than having to remix the entire new track, I would prefer to either:
    1) Copy and paste the attributes of the orginal audio track onto the new music track -- retaining the Mix I did from the original mix.  Is this possible?  I tried it once and it did not seem to work.  (I used the Mixer, not keyframes, to do all of the mix.)
    or
    2)  Is there a setting in Premiere's Audio mixer to "gang" the new track to the old one -- with the new track cloning the old track's mix.
    Or would it be better to bring the two audio tracks into Soundbooth and do it there?
    Thanks,
    ...Rowby

    Thanks Colin
    I did a complicated mix on one long background music track and was not looking forward to doing that remix because of various minor music changes made by the musician scattered throughout that long track.
    Your Alt (for replace solution) worked perfectly and saved me a ton of time.
    The fact that Copy attributes for Audio doesn't work for copying audio keyframes is another reason do do audio mixes using the Mixer instead of using keyframes to adjust volume.
    ...Rowby
    P.S.   And a big LIKE to Adobe's clever programmers for including features like these.

  • Can i cut and paste a gb track?

    can i cut and paste a gb track? i'm recording a one on one interview. i will export to itunes and burn a cd. but i was told cd will not exceed 80 minutes. if interview goes longer than 80 minutes, can i cut and paste from one track to burn two cds? i have gb2.

    To make sure you have the terms correct, you can't get a "track" you can cut/copy/paste "regions" within a track. So yes, you can do what you want.

  • Multi track cut and paste  ??

    Does anyone know if there is a way to extend a section of a clip or song on all tracks simultaneously?  For example I have a song that has 8 tracks. The bed was recording first and the vocals were written to fit into the structure.  Now that this is close to complete I would like to lengthen 4 bars) the choruses.  Do I have to try to cut and paste in each track individually in the editing mode or is there a way to lengthen the choruses in all tracks at the same time? 

    In multitrack what I would do is split all 8 tracks at the same point (assuming you are not cutting through a cymbal crash etc)  then select all the clips on the right of the split (group them if you feel safer) and move them to the right.
    Then either (and it depends on the piece you are working on)
    1. 'pull out' eack of the tracks on the left by 4 bars and move the other tracks on the right back into place, xfading etc., OR
    2. cut a selection and duplicate for each track then move the duplicated sections into place and then move the clips on the right back to match up
    Sounds simple because it is (I do it all the time), however, it will be a bit like micro-surgery making sure everything is lined up, in time and makes sense musically.

  • Takes and comping live drums- trouble cutting and pasting comps- help

    Senario, 10 tracks of drum mikes recorded in 8 takes. Swiping with groups on works like a charm. Issue, I want to be able to locate a 4 bar section in a comp and cut and paste it back to back and in every verse. It seems to work but when I go and start swiping takes to add to the comp, the comp pastes of the 4 bar piece starts playing something different than what was pasted there moments earlier. I then have to undo a few steps and cannot figure out what to do now.... Any tips, suggestions or work flows anyone can share with me regarding drum tracking. I have never tried to cut and paste within a comp and I want to believe that it should work just like editing regions. And then you can flatten ? Thanks

    You hate takes, ok I don't really yet, but how do you put takes into folders without flattening first. So a folder opened up into an arrange window has folders named DRUMS TK1, DRUMS TK2, etc. But then you select all those takes and pack into yet another folder called DRUMS, Hmm. Copies of the folders you want to use, how do you determine what you want to use. I use the swipe feature and it shows me the sections from each take and I can hear what it all sounds like before flattening. Is your method a mix of old LP7 style drum take editing with packed folders ? If you are cutting the copied packed folders to taste, are you using the mute tool to shut off sections to audition each take ? Flattening using the glue tool, I am getting lost now sorry. I like the swiping feature especially when you have 13 drum tracks times 8 takes. I make a group called drums and when I swipe the Kick track let's say, all drum mikes get selected in the exact place and I can then audition each take by clicking on each kick take, then I move on after I choose a section. My problem arrived when I started to scissor cut the COMP folder before doing any flattening. It would appear to be editable just like a normal audio region and I wanted to just cut copy and paste the COMP folder while continuing to swipe and finish the COMP. Do you follow. I want to understand your method as well since I am still trying to get a system down for drum tracking with many mikes and takes. Thanks for your reply.

  • Help the Noobie-Cut and Paste

    Im new to Logic, coming from a protools/dp backround. Why is cut and paste so difficult for me?
    Lets say I have a guitar part where the first verse is a better performace than the second verse. I want to cut a p[aste the 12st verse on top of the second verse.
    I go to snap bar mode , highlight , copy , go to beginning of second verse , paste (in overlap mode). And everything seems fine. But once i click somewhere else in the track. The pasted region is hidden behind the longer original recorded region. What gives? Ive looked in the manual and cant find an answer. This is slowing down my work so much, please help!
    thx

    *You can either select drag-mode "Crossfade" (next to the Snap mode menue) - L8 will then automatically perform crossfades between the region or you use overlap mode and draw the crossfade in by yourself with the "crossfade tool" from the toolbox.
    *You can choose "tie Regions by length change" from the Region menue (that´s probably a poor translation from my german menue), L8 will then shorten your first region so it doesn´t overlap anymore (setup a keycommand for it if you wish). Anyway, L8 will give priority to the second region so the first region will be cut off from the Audio output when Region 2 enters as you can´t play two regions from one Audio object at the same time. If Region1 already has the exact lenght you want and fits with the lenght of your first verse you can also use the command "perform multiple copies of region" (you find that in the Region menue also, setup a key command for this too if you wish).
    *You can just press alt+click on region (which copies it) and drag it to the point you want it.

  • Cut and pasting clips to a new movie causes 15x file size increase!!

    I'm using 6.04 iMovie. I'm converting 8mm analog video via Canopus 300 into imovie. These movies were of an action sport and very few clips are over ten minutes when imported.
    I have 4 files(sourced from 4 tapes) from 22-28GB in imovie. I have edited these files, removing bad video, unwanted scenes and have added transitions and titles. The resulting files are each from 22-28Gb's in size.
    I then went to make a highlight video by copying and pasting clips from two of the movies. The resulting highlight movie exceeds 160Gb's I have two more movies to past clips from!
    I am aware of the "non-destructive" editing feature of Imovie. In the process of editing the individual movies and putting together the highlight movie I emptied trash frequently.
    My questions:
    1.) What is the best procedure to cut and paste clips from movies to make a highlight movie?
    2.) What can i do with my highlight video to get the size back down to around 15 Gb's? (I've only used about 25% of each of the two first tapes in the highlight video)
    Thanks

    Hello, Scott,
    iMovie moves clips to the trash that you have deleted.....if you are not using any part of that clip. If you are using any part of it, the parts you crop out, 'delete,' will be removed from your movie, but not put into trash and not removed from iMovie's project file. If you use 10 seconds of a 30 second clip, for example, but later decide that you really need to have more than the 10 seconds, say you need 15 seconds, all you have to do is go click on that 10 second clip in your movie and then go to 'Advanced' and select 'Revert clip to original' and iMovie will put back the entire clip for you to re-crop.
    It is not exactly the same for still photos. If you are using still photos with the Ken Burns effect, emptying the trash will remove the photo's 'clip' and you will not be able to redo the KB effect if you decide to change it. Leaving the trash alone will permit iMovie to retrieve the photo so that you can make those edits. Some of us never empty the trash in iMovie.
    When you export as Full quality Quick Time, you are getting just that.....Full Quality, no changes from the original. Your movie is not being compressed, it is shortened because you are saving only the clips that are actually used in the movie, not all the rest. Nothing is lost in quality and you can edit as usual, except for the ability to retrieve any clips that are not in the movie. You will not be able to use the 'Revert clip to original,' now because you have a new set of 'originals.'
    So, when you export to quicktime, be sure that you are completely finished with the cropping of your clips and that you will not need to add anything that you previously deleted. I export to quicktime and then open a new iMovie and import the new qt movie into that. Once you see that it plays properly, you can delete the first iMovie and just work with this one. However, it will come in as one large clip, with audio and video incorporated into one track. You will not be able to re-edit titles and effects. (Well, you CAN do it a bit, but it is tricky and you will lose some footage).
    I actually make a quicktime version of almost all of my iMovies. I find that this process eliminates any jerkiness or stuttering of my longer movies. I edit the original iMovie by cropping clips, adding photos, putting in titles and transitions. I then add audio last, usually first some short audio clips to go with some of the photos, and then I add background music last. I usually export to quicktime during the adding music part, whenever iMovie starts playing back in a stuttering way. The new quicktime movie is smooth and I can finish my music additions easily.
    Apparently, the latest version of quicktime is much better for the jerkiness problem, but I have been hesitant to upgrade since I am in the midst of doing about 4 iMovies.
    Good luck with your project!

  • Cutting and pasting tables from one project to another

    When cutting and pasting existing tables from one project to
    another, the line weights for the cell borders seem to vary at
    random - some are the original line weight and some are heavier
    when pasted.
    I've tried sorting things out with the table properties
    dialogue, but to no effect.
    Is there a quick fix, or am I better importing in whole
    topics and then editing the imported topic?

    Hi Colum/Peter,
    It's not a custom table, I just need to copy an existing
    table from one project to another.
    My blasted developers (may the fleas of a thousand camels,
    etc), just decided to change the toolbars in one of our
    applications. As this toolbar appears in slightly different guises
    in about 6 tabs, I was trying to update the table that shows what
    icon does what and cut and paste that table into all the sub
    projects I have. Each table then only needs a minor edit for a few
    icons specific to that sub-project.
    Peter's on the right track. When I cut and pasted the table
    it also pasted in a number of lines of HTML associated with the
    styles in the other project. If I delete those lines, the table
    then appears as it should.
    Thanks for prompt response

  • CS4 cutting and pasting from illustrator expands appearance

    I'm working within CS4 taking a few simple vectors and pasting into ID, Everything seems to work except a few images which the strokes are converted to fills.
    The illustrator file has multiple artboards but other items cut and paste perfectly.
    Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried throwing a clipping mask around it, grouping, ungrouping, dragging... And I can't get it to work.
    Here's the file if it'll help: https://www.yousendit.com/download/Y1RwcHBFNXZCMTVMWEE9PQ

    Do you know where the complex vs. simple starts and ends?
    At the point that ID doesn't support the constuct natively.
    I know that answer is less than useless. If you can figure it out, you'll probably also have a great future at the track or as a stock picker (and I don't mean in a warehouse).

  • How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13?  When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position.  Could not 'cut and paste'.

    How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13?  When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position.  Could not 'cut and paste'.

    bhsleadership
    I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
    For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
    For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
    For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that  you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
    Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
    video compression = MPEG1
    audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
    Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
    Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
    With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
    But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
    I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    To be continued.

  • Why does cutting and pasting ordered lists no longer preserve the line numbers

    I often cut and paste ordered lists from web sites (track listings) to put with my downloaded tracks. Until the last update (not sure which version I was using with ubuntu 8.04 but it would have been the latest for that distro.) the line numbers were copied along with the ordered list, but they are not any more, so I have to type them all back in manually, which is a pain.
    I have uninstalled firefox 9 to try to downgrade, but don't know which version would still work.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • How do I cut and paste an appointment and change the appointment date?

    I have just moved to the Iphone 3GS after many years on Windows Mobiles so it's all new to me, but how do I cut and paste appointment information?
    I also need to be able to change the date of an appointment, but could not figure out how.
    Thx
    Bryce

    That's fine for changing an appointment date, but is there a way to "copy" an appointment and paste it into a new date so that the date of the original appointment isn't lost?
    For example, I have an appointment that occurs every 4-5 weeks, and we set the future date at our meetings, but I need to be able to go back and review earlier when earlier meeting dates took place to be able to track milestones. If I simply change the current appointment date I'll lose that history.
    In Outlook I can simply copy and paste an appointment into a new date, but I'd like to be able to do so from my phone for when I'm not in my office. How can I do this?

  • Cut and paste in place ... not in place

    i cut and paste in place from a layer to an other and its not in the right place. it seems new since CS6
    i have multiple artworks on my file but i could do it since then. do you now how to not talke care of it ?

    Well that might be the way you wish it to work but it does not work that way and it was feature request that was overwhelming desired sothe behavior was made so that when you pasted in place it pasted in place relative to the active artboard.
    Thought there are global rulers there are still artboards and if someone wants more than one artboard this would be expected behavior.
    You have a choice of how you can do what you wish to do
    1. you can keep the artboard panel visible and simply select the artboard you want to be active that will not affect then selected object or layer and theen either paste in front or paste in back or paste in place
    2 select your object to be cut, then the object on the layer you wish to paste the object and then slect the original artboard by clciking on the edge of the artboard that will not change the layer you now have selected and choose one of the three paste options mentioned. this is actually a better choice because if you are working on that artboard you want it selected incase you need to bring it into focus.
    3. You can cange the focus to the artboard you want by selecting in from the artboard list at the bottom left of the document window.
    However though you are being a little cute about this it is I believe a feature request to be able to paste in place relative to the global rulers.
    And I do think this is an oversight which may have been deliberately done as it is possible that it might cause a problem at the moment to paste according to the global rulers and refcous back to that artboard, I can see where this might be a delicate coding issue and instead of a crash it would be better not tyo have it at all as I doubt many people would work this way.
    I think most people would work in a more organized way and want to keep track of what they are doing in a more conscious way and simply select the layer they want in the layers paneleven if it might be slower it would also be less prone to pasting on the wrong layer.
    We also just had some one post about selecting an object on the canvas and dragging the selection dot in the laayers panel to the layer they wandted it now to reside.
    They claim that is faster cut and paste, they actually said it did not work but it does.
    Here's the link to the feature request page.
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    Don't be surprise if they change this behavior and there are many users who do not like it.
