Delete Source Audio Tracks?

Hey and thanks to all for stopping by!
Just a quick question - I haven't been able to find this in the discussions or with my own searching.
Basically, I am re-syncing footage and for some reason, the first assistant captured with 8 tracks of audio, all of which I don't need.
Is there a way to delete/remove/turn off audio tracks from a source clip?
Thank you!
Ben

open the clips in Quicktime, go to Window/Show Movie Properties and delete the audio tracks you don't want. Make sure you delete the correct ones. You may want to try just turning them off first to make sure you know which ones are the ones you want. Then, make sure you do a save as and give it a new name, or you will just get a reference movie with the tracks turned off. I don't think this recompresses the frames, but you may want to check on that one.

  • How can I delete the audio track from a clip and have no audio associated?

    the clips I insert always add an audio track,and seem to be linked to video track.I just want to delete audio tracks,and have no audio track associated with the original clips .
    How do I do this ???

    Second time this question came up today.
    Click the a1/a2 buttons in the patch panel at the head of the timeline to decouple the audio from A1/A2. Then edit the picture into the timeline.

  • Trouble deleting the audio track

    Cannot delete my audio clip?
    Cannot click on it under the Audio Tab to highlight... can't control click it... it appears to be locked, even though under the timeline, everything is unlocked.
    Ideas?

    Make sure that it's not currently linked to a video track. There should be a little chain icon in the layers pane for the video or in the timeline for the audio. Click it to break the link, and then you can delete one or the other.

  • Send to Audio project takes all sources audio tracks

    Hi there
    I am sending dicrete mono tracks to soundtrack pro (2.02) to create a 6 track mono wav which i will then use to create a Dolby E track.
    Why this isnt in FCP i dont know, but anyway.
    When i send the 6 tracks from FCP timeline to audio project, it sends 8 or 10 tracks through, as this was on source tape. How can i only send whats in the timeline?
    Ive tried send only ref media, but to no avail.
    As a workround i am exporting the sequence (audio only) and then sending the audio from this to soundtrack. However its extra time and steps that i could do without.
    Any help would be much appreciated as this is something we will be doing more often in the future. for our company.
    Thanks in advance
    Jason

    I am having the same issue. The Send to Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project item is always greyed out. I am on Leopard using Soundtrack Pro (v1.1) if that makes any difference.
    Anyone have a solution to this problem?

  • How to permanently delete an audio track on my iPhone 4?

    Hi all,
    First off, a little background: my ISP is French Free, and they have this very cozy feature that lets you know via email when someone leaves a message on your home line voicemail; that way, you get your voicemail anytime you want, not just when you come back home. You can even get it on the road, since the voicemail messages are attached to the email Free sends you as a notification.
    Here's where my problem lies: recently, my mother-in-law called us at home (don't they all...?) and left a message, since we weren't home. I got the notification email on my iPhone, and listened to the voicemail from where I was. Alas, now, this message is in my iTunes library, and will play just like any other song that's there... Imagine: you're sitting on the train, listening to music in random mode, and somewhere between an AC-DC track and The Ramones' "What I like about you" (only it's Lillix version), you hear your in-law cursing you for not being home when she calls...
    Took me all of ten minutes to get my heart beat back to normal! So, in a nutshell, how can I delete those messages? I've tried through iTunes, but I must have missed something.

    Found it myself, on iTunes: I just had to select the tracks in question in my music list and delete them, then synchronize again... Sorry to be such a noob...

  • Delete or disable audio tracks

    Why cant I delete my audio tracks,I control click delete and they stay there !!!
    Also,what are the speed modification requirements ? Sometimes I can modify speed on clips or entire sequences,sometimes I cant.It seems that sequences that have been fully written/rendered in previous projects tend to be the ones that cant change speed ( ? )
    Thanks a heap !!!

    If an audio track contains one half of a stereo pair audio file it cannot be deleted.
    What happens when you can't modify the speed? Anything? Any warning? The most common cause is a track conflict when rippling the track will cause a clip collision.

  • How to delete the left channel only in the audio track

    Hello All,
    I have put some video in the timeline that was recorded with a camcorder that only had mono sound. What I want to do is delete the audio track that has no sound, duplicate the audio track that has sound so that there are two audio tracks.
    Now I've tried several different ways to do this, but it seems that FCE will only let me delete both audio tracks. How do I just delete one audio track and leave the other one intact?
    Thanks for your help.
    Mike

    Select the audio. Then select Modify>Stereo Pair. You can then select the empty track to delete it. Then double click the remaining track to load it into the Viewer and set the Pan control in the Viewer window to 0.

  • Invisible audio tracks in timeline

    I've been working on a music video, so I've got multiple video clips in my timeline, but I've unlinked them from their original audio files and subsequently deleted the audio tracks they were assigned to. The only audio track I've kept is the original mp3 I am using. This was inserted on the audio track named "Soundtrack". For some reason, this track is no longer visible on my timeline. My Video tracks 1-7 are visible, but no audio tracks whatsoever. I can hear it fine and adjust it in the audio mixer, but I can't see it. Any idea how to get it back?
    NB: When I create a new sequence or project, the audio tracks are visible as usual. Just not in the sequence I'm working on. Also, if I add a new video clip with audio attached, I can preview the video and hear the audio, but again- the audio track isn't visible on the timeline. Please help! This is highly annoying...

    Are you using PrElements? PrPro does not have a "Soundtrack," but PrE does.
    My guess is that you need to scroll up/down in your Timeline, and you will find the phantom Audio Clip(s).
    Also, here is the Premiere Elements Forum. Maybe the MODs will move this post to that forum, if you ARE on PrE.
    Last, some users of PrE have had problems with both Soundtrack and Narration, the two fixed Audio Tracks. When this happens, I recommend that those Clips get moved to a free, regular Audio Track.
    Well, one more: I always convert any MP3 files to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit, before Import. Many MP3 files can cause issues. I use Adobe Audition, but the great, free utility, Audacity, can do this too.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] The word "Sequence" indicates PrPro, and NOT PrE, so I was wrong about the program. In either program, look for the scroll bars to the far right of the Timeline Panel, and just scroll.
    To control the placement of Audio Assets, one thing to think about is that your source footage will determine which Audio Tracks will be available. The channel-count MUST match. A 1-channel source can ONLY go onto a 1-channel Audio Track. If you have Audio, that you do not want disturbed, just Lock that Track (note: ONLY in PrPro, as PrE does not have Track Locks).

  • Selecting Target Video/Audio track

    I apologize if there is already a forum for this question but I was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut function to change which video track is the target track. I know all the shortcuts for 'arming' the target, or sequence tracks and/or the source video, I'm curious though if there is a way (something like shift+alt+7 (or whatever your track hotkey is)) so that you can select the track that source video will overlay or insert onto without having to use the mouse to select it the track (either by dragging or right-clicking)
    Perhaps if not directly selecting a track there is a command that is 'select next track' or 'select previous track'? I've tried looking for it in the keyboard shortcuts menu and can't quite seem to figure it out.
    I use a custom layout that is a bit of a mix between the Avid standard and Premiere 5.0 standard. It would be awesome if someone could direct me to the shortcut menu and/or command(s) I'm looking for so that I can set it myself. Or else just let me know that I'm trying to bark up a tree that doesn't actually exist.
    Thanks!

    You're absolutely right, I do the same thing. But for it to actually go on Video 2 and Audio 3, not only do those Sequence tracks need to be toggled they also have to be set as Source Video and Source Audio 3 (or whichever source Audio you want) on the far left area of the timeline panel. If the Source Video is set on Sequence Video 1, your video will not appear, but rather an erase occurs on Sequence Video 2 the length of video set by your In and Out in the Source monitor and, if Sequence Video 1 is toggled that is where the video will appear. This is how you can both delete video on one track and place video on another at the same time.
    If however you have dragged the Source Video 'icon' up to Sequence Video 2 (or right clicked on Sequence video 2 on the far right and selected 'Set as Source Video) your Video will now appear on the track you desire.
    Similarly, whichever Source Audio track is assigned to Sequence Audio Track 3 is the Source Audio which will be placed on Sequence Audio Track 3.
    Pretend that you have a  LAV Mic in Audio 1 of your Source Footage and a Shoe Mic on Audio 3 of your source footage, which sounds bad. For whatever reason, you want that Lav mic to be placed on Sequence Audio Track 3. You must set the Source Audio 1 to Sequence Audio 3 on your timeline.
    So my question is: Is there a way to move which Sequence Video Track is assigned as the Source Video with keystrokes.
    If this still isn't clear I might just make a video when I get home of what I mean. I apologize for any lack of clarity in my querry

  • How Do I Get Rid of Unwanted Audio Track?

    I am bringing DPX files into Photoshop as Image Sequences. Afterwards, I am using Export…Render Video, set to Adobe Media Encoder, H.264.
    The resulting H.264 files have an AAC audio track (presumably, with nothing but zeros, because there is no audio with this material.) How do I prevent Photoshop from adding an audio track?
    I don't see a way to delete the audio track from the timeline. I don't see a way to export only video in the Render Video settings.

    Mylenium, thanks for bringing that to my attention, because it didn't occur to me.
    However, it brings up a different problem. In the Adobe Media Encoder, Create Preset settings, I don't see a way to set it to a custom frame rate, such as 16 frames per second, if I want to use the MPEG4 wrapper.
    One of the reasons that I am bringing these DPX files into Photoshop in the first place is so that I can do this:

  • Mute Audio Track of Embedded .avi File

    Using iDVD, I created a slideshow with many pictures and .avi files. Because I'm using a background soundtrack, I would like to mute/delete the audio tracks of the .avi files embedded in the slideshow. Is this possible? If so, how?

    hey there Mark,
    you'd need to use iMovie. i prefer to build slide shows in iMovie6 as it's easier to use use for "more advanced editing". if you have iLife 08 you can dl iMovie 6 here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html.

  • 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.
    Mike

    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.

  • Removing audio tracks from a clip

    Hi,
    I have a set of HD clips that were digitized with 8 tracks of audio. I only need the first two. Is there a way to eliminate these extra tracks BEFORE dropping them on the timeline. It's a great annoyance to have to either lock off audio layers to prevent these from going on my timeline, or having to link and unlink layers and remove them.. There has got to be a better way!!
    Any ideas??
    Thanks!

    Locate your clip in the Finder, on the Media drive. Duplicate your clip first...to make sure you don't mess anything up irreversibly.
    Open it in Quicktime. Go to the WINDOW menu and then SHOW MOVIE PROPERTIES. Notice how you have a Video track, and then 8 audio tracks, and the timecode track. Delete the audio tracks you don't want by highlighting them and pressing DELETE.
    Save the file. Import that into FCP to make sure it is done right.

  • FCP 4.5 Sequence w/ No Audio Tracks

    How can I create a sequence with no audio tracks? When I try to delete the audio tracks, I get an error message saying "Deleting all tracks is not permited."
    Any help? Thanks

    I'm getting the feeling that people are confused with what my goal is. In the timeline window, I want there to be NO audio tracks.< </div>
    I understand. You're not grasping the answer.

    Instead of saying A1, A2, etc, there would be NOTHING. < </div>
    You can't. Period. You can reduce the number of audio tracks to one but no fewer. You can create a preset, a default empty sequence, to open with only one audio track. But you cannot delete all audio tracks. Can't be done.

  • Restoring 2nd audio track after deleting?

    In a recent shoot on a Red One, I put the lav audio on mono track 1, and a boom mic on mono track 2.  After importing it into Premiere Pro and placing my clips into a sequence, I felt the boom mic track 2 sounded too echo-y, so I deleted it from the sequence timeline and proceeded to editing my video using track 1 audio only. Well, now the client wants to use the boom mic track.
    Is there an way easy way to restore the the 2nd audio track while keeping my edits in place?

    Well, it's not really easy or automatic, but if you park the playhead at the first frame of a clip in a sequence, target the track, and then hit M to match frame, you'll load up the master clip for that clip instance into the Source Monitor. From there, you can edit the whole clip or just the audio portion back into the sequence; it should be already marked with an in and out point to match the duration of the sequence clip.
