Cutting two audio tracks in synchrony with video, question

I had to chop my movie in two because it did not fit on one DVD. This forum suggested that you make a complete second copy and delete the second half of one, and the first half of the other copy and burn your DVD with the respective halves. No problem with the first half, I deleted the video and had to go back and individually delete the audio tracks and everything stayed in synchrony. The problem arises when trying to delete the first half of the movie and not being able to use the play head to delete audio and video simultaneously. The audio of the first half of the movie is preserved, and if I delete the audio one track at a time it will shift the audio in relation to the video. I thought there would be a way of chopping off the video and audio tracks at the same point without the tedious task of trying to put everything back in sync "by hand". I have two audio tracks so it might be tricky to cut at the end of one audio track, without getting the other out of sync. Thanks for suggestions.

Hi Mike:
Perhaps the easiest way is to export the entire movie back to DV tape and then re-importing to imovie. That way, the entire movie is now combined into a "flattened" version. Meaning the audio and video are combined together into one video track, making it possible to split the final version in two.
Pain in the neck, but much easier that doing it one clip at a time.

  • Language audio tracks and subtitles with videos

    I have a number of movies I have ripped that have both Chinese and English audio tracks. Is there a way to switch between audio tracks for videos, or do I just need to load separate .mp4 files for each?

    I do not think there is any option in the ipod to select between the two sound tracks, unless there is a hidden hack. I might be wrong though.
    Obviously the only option I am aware of is creating two different files each with the different sound track.

  • Why video with two audio tracks imports like one track (main)?

    Ok, lets face one simple thing that is incredibly stupid in Premiere CC:
    - I make video with two audio tracks (screencast with system sounds and microphone, separated)
    - Import it to Premiere CC and see only one audio track, system sounds!
    - What should I do to see both of them?
    - Why Sony Vegas don't make me to go to support forums and make them both visible without extra actoins?

    Great first post!

  • How to burn a DVD with two audio track?

    There is a projet with the original video and a second audio track with music. I want to burn a DVD with both audio tracks. When playing the DVD you should be able to select audio track 1 (the original sound) or audio track 2 (the music). With Adobe Encore DVD it was easy to configure the two audio tracks and burn the DVD. It is posible to do the same from Adobe Premier Elements 11?
    Thanks,
    Jordi

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, PrE does not allow for supplemental Audio Tracks, when authoring.
    I use Adobe Encore for this, but it is only available bundled with Premiere Pro. I do not know if some other, third party, full-featured authoring apps., like Sony's DVD Architect can do that, but I would suspect that they can. The specifications for DVD Architect should have that information, and as it's quite common in full-featured authoring apps., I anticipate that it has that capability.
    If you do go with that program, our MOD, Steve Grisetti, has written a very good book on DVD Architect, and it's available at Muvipix.com.
    Good luck,

  • QT H.264 files with two audio tracks. Quicktime plays 2nd track first. ***?

    I've been experimenting with H.264 (AVC) and my DVDs. Using Handbrake, I ripped a DVD to MP4 (H.264) and including the director's commentary as the second track.
    When I play the MP4 with Quicktime Player, it plays the director's commentary instead of the main soundtrack. VLC, however, correctly plays the first track (main movie audio track) and it allows me to select the second track via a menu.
    To get Quicktime to play the proper track, I have to open "Movie Properties" and manually uncheck the second track. This was never a problem with DivX/XviD encoded files with two audio tracks; Quicktime Player correctly played the first track.
    Why does Quicktime ignore the first audio track in MP4s (but not AVIs) and is there a way to correct this?

    I do have QT Pro.
    H.264 files are usually saved in a MP4 container. That's what Handbrake, ffpegX, and D-Vision create, anyway.
    The "Choose Language" option is greyed out (unavailable) when I open this H.264 MP4 in Quicktime. If I try to change the settings in "Movie Properties," it says that I must save it with the .MOV file suffix.
    It makes no sense to me that Quicktime Player can correctly identify the main audio soundtrack in a XviD file with an AVI container but not in a H.264 video with a MP4 container which Apple has been touting as the latest, greatest thing. Even VLC, an open source product still in beta, gets it right.

  • You Tube videos that have two audio tracks?

    When I view videos on my Mac there are two audio tracks with them. If I pause the video, an audio track is still heard, but I can't seem to control it. Any thoughts?

    Vinay,
    This is weird, but I don't know if it related to the Audio label issue.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason to where the which audio track is used when I place an item into a video track.  In this project I am using .mts files for my video and the audio has been going into Audio 2, except for the one marked in the image below, which is in Audio 3.  When I tried to move it to Audio 2, it slipped up to Audio 1.  This is throwing me off, because I have background music in Audio 3 and want a different audio level.

  • When downloading video into FCP my two audio tracks are locked together.

    When downloading HD video into FCP my two audio tracks are locked together. Channel one will not separate from channel two. Not good. One channel is my miked talent, the other abient. Any suggestions? I cannot find the problem. Sequence settings? Preference settings?
    Help!

    I think you mean "importing", not downloading.
    Downloading is when you copy a file from an Internet server to your computer.
    Channel one will not separate from channel two.
    Any suggestions?
    Select the two tracks and choose Modify > Stereo Pair
    Or you can just use the keyboard shortcut option-L

  • Two audio tracks with same label

    I have two audio tracks labeled Audio3.  Is this something normal or an anomoly?  Can I correct this?  Thank you for you help.

  • Beginner question: Two audio tracks become one - how to undo?

    I know this surely is a beginners' problem, i hope for a quick reply anyway. I've imported material I had before logged with AVID Liquid, into Premiere CS4. In order to get video and audio together I had to put video and audio in a new sequence by hand. I then loaded this seqeunce into the source monitor to be able to cut my material (one video track, two audio tracks (one from a directional mic, which I don't always want))  from there. But when I paste a clip in my editing sequence I only get video plus ONE audio track in the stereo track. But I need both audio tracks because sometimes I'm going to delete one of them. So my question: How do I get video and BOTH audio tracks from one sequence to the other?
    Thank you very much, you've had much patience with me with similiar questions.
    Niklas

    To do what you want, you won't be able to work with the media as a single clip.  You'd have to go into the sequence with the video and two audio tracks, and pick out what you want from there instead of the Source monitor.  Make your cuts, laso the clips you're using, then do a Cut/Paste from the main sequence into the edit sequence.  Make sense?

  • Two Audio Tracks From Zoom H4n

    I'm relatively new to video production, and I just got a Zoom h4n to get better audio for my videos shot with a dslr.  I plugged a cheap dynamic microphone into it and recorded using mono mix (so I could use the mono track as a stereo track)  When I loaded it up in Premiere and synced it to the video track, the audio from the h4n comes up as two audio tracks.  If I mute one of the tracks, sound still comes out of both speakers.  Can anyone explain what the second track is for?

    Two tracks, meaning one clip on A1 and one on A2?  I've never seen that from the H4n.  Even 4 track mode creates two separate files that you'd have to add to two tracks individually

  • How to not overlap two audio tracks?

    Hi, I use Adobe Premiere and I recently I had a problem with Action! (a video recording program) if you register the microphone and the stereo, Premiere overlaps the two audio and is not making me hear my microphone. I also tried to click the check mark on recording program (split audio tracks) but Premiere not divides. How can I create two audio tracks divided on the same record?

    Are you saying that if you walk up to your Mac, iTunes suddenly opens? 
    At any rate, you should be using two different accounts on the Mac, each of you logging into your respective accounts, if you don't want common syncing.

  • Which app can convert TWO audio tracks - MXF files to FCPX?

    Help help help,
    I need to convert TWO audio tracks along with my video files from my Canon XF100 - to edit in FCPX. All the apps I seem to find are only able to convert one audiotrack. I have audio from both microphone and microport, so one is not enough. Furthermore it must be a pro tool, so I don't loose imagequality.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Tom,
    Thx so much - but its not fcpx, but The converter - fcpx can't read MXF files, so they must be converted - The problem is to find A tool to convert both tracks

  • Audio does not fit with video FCPX 10.1.3

    Hi, I have a little bit unusual (at least for me) problem. I have old video from camera (maybe 20 years) on my HDD and I would like to edit it. Problem is the audio does not fit with video - when somebody talks it is apparently delayed. Can you give me a hint how to fix it in FCPX? I tried to detach audio and move just audio line but it is not possible.
    Thanks

    I tried it again from the beginning and now I can move audio to the right. I would just need to move video to the right, so audio stays still.. I need to delay audio so one option is to delete part of beginning of audio track or somehow move video to the right but it is not possible, i guess video track in the beginning cannot be empty....
    It is difficult to explain

  • How to distinguish between two audio tracks on AppleTV?

    Ripped movies with two audio tracks (AAC, 2-ch and AC3, 5.1) show both of the audio tracks as "English" on AppleTV. How do I know which one is the 2-ch or 5.1? Is there a way for Apple TV to show "English (Stereo)" and "English (Surround)"? I use Handbrake to rip DVDs, sometimes MP4Tools to convert audio, and Subler to tag them.

    It is definitely possible to maintain separate sets of settings for two or more
    publish connections of the same publish plug-in.
    Without more detail on what exactly your code looks like, it is difficult to say what's not working right.
    The contents of 'exportPresetFields' should be maintained on a per-connection basis.

  • Two audio tracks

    I used imovie to create hd project. Looks great played through a blue ray player and regular dvd player. Looks great on 720p and 1080p televisions.
    The issue is now with sound and two audio tracks. When played through built-in television speakers, the sound is balanced between two tracks (voice over vs. music.) When played through external, amplified speakers, the voice-over is too pronounced. I need to bump up the music.
    Question: I can solve the problem by creating two versions, one for built-in speakers and one for amplified speakers. But I'm asking myself, what do I need to do to create a DVD whose sound will be the same on both types of audio systems?

    2.5,
    They sound great even after being burned in idvd, as long as the dvd is played on either a monitor with built-in speakers or on a television with built-ins.
    The unbalance happens only when the dvd is played back through amplified speakers, and that's when the music suddenly takes a back seat to the voice over.
    Other than an equalizer setting difference between the different playback systems, it's hard to explain why there should be a difference.
    iDVD supports only uncompressed PCM audio and although the DV specification and DVD specification support more than 2 channels of audio, I have NEVER seem any indication that iDVD supports more than 2 channels of audio. Apple has never said much about audio in iDVD. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Audio and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DV )
    DVD SP with Compressor DOES give you many audio choices (uncompressed PCM and compressed Dolby) as well as support for multiple audio channels.
