Deleting Video When Deleting Audio

Hi,
I'm working with an audio commentary that was recorded to a live feed of video off the final cut pro timeline. There is pausing to let commentators catch up and there is jumping around to redo portions of the audio.
The video the commentators were watching was recorded live with their audio.
Now I need to fix all the audio to bring it back into the FCP timeline.
What I'm hoping is that I can delete unusable portions of the audio and at the same time preserve sync with the corresponding video.
But all I have been able to do so far is delete audio and completely lose sync with video as it hasn't deleted at all.
Maybe there is a term for this process, but I am not aware of it.
Thanks

Instead of deleting the offending audio, why not just reduce the volume (gain) so that it can't be heard during those parts. That way you'll maintain the sync with the video.

How to delete audio clip/soundtrack from video

Hi - I have been creating my first ever video (joining together footage from GoPro files from a family skiing day, so pretty amateur stuff).
After doing some basic stuff like deleting lots of even more dull stuff than the remainder will be, I'm left with a heap of separate files where I've put transitions into the gaps.
I then added an Adobe soundtrack/audio to the whole thing.
Possibly mistakenly I then did a few more bits and pieces to the video, like speeding a few bits up and so on. The act of speeding some sections up using Premiere Elements then created 'gaps' in the timeline which I've worked out form some googling I think are there simply because there's underlying audio.
The difficulty I'm having now is - how do I just simply delete the underlying audio in it's entirety - there must be a simle way of dleting it all, but I can't find it.
Then I can just change the video as I see fit, delete and close gaps, and then reapply audio once I'm finished.
Anyone know ?
PS. I have done some painful resectioning of the underlying audio to try and close the gaps but that hasn't worked very well as in the timeline, the audio isn't directly lined up with the video above it so very easy to delete video when trying to delete sections of audio, therefore simpler to just delete all audio I think.
Cheers.

Along with Steve's excellent books, here are some additional resources for learning PrE: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/800455?tstart=0
You will see Steve's name mentioned in several of those, like is Basic Training Series and Learning Series. There are also some AdobeTV tutorials, that I find very useful.
Good luck, and happy editing,

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

I have adobe Premiere Elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or have it fade in or out. I can move the yellow line all the way down till the volume reads -0.0, but the sound is still there on playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that graphs volume takes a sharp raise or dip at the beginning or end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the reply. Great news about the volume adjusts.
Now about those fades for the volume. How are you doing that?
1. Right click the Timeline video audio and select Fade and then
see the Fade options (I had a video with audio file, so I saw the choices as shown in the screenshot)
2. You can also create two volume keyframes at each end of the Timeline audio clip rubberband (orange line that goes horizontally across the middle of the audio clip). At the position of the Timeline Indicator, click the Add/Remove Keyframe icon, and then with the mouse cursor position the white dots (volume keyframes) to achieve the Fade In and Fade Out audio. In the screenshot below I have moved the Timeline Indicator so that you could better see the white dots (volume keyframes).
Please let us know if any of the above works for you with regard to the audio fades.
Thank you.

Deleteing audio tracks at the viewer stage

Is there a way to delete audio tracks before you put them in the time line? Material I have has about 16 tracks with nothing there from a film transfer and they seriously get in the way when all I need is picture.

Use the Patch Panel to bring down only video.

Delete audio after saving presentation "with" audio

After saving a presention with the option to save audio "with" the presentation, I can no longer delete audio from any slide. Is there a way to delete audio in this scenario?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Seth answered about the choice when importing the PPT. You can add a click box to each slide, it will pause the slide at the end of the click box timeline, so be sure to adapt that timeline.
Do you want to add audio in Captivate? You have to know that every PPT-slide will be converted to sort of a video slide in Captivate, which makes synchronizing with audio not that easy.
Adobe Presenter would be easier to use (and be sure, I am a Captivate freak myself, but will rarely use PPT, but directly Captivate)

Deleting audio file on device + Mac once and for all

Deleting audio file on device + Mac once and for all
Hi and good day,
I don't listen much to music, but mostly audio files (radio programmes etc.)
But there is still one big drawback with iTunes:
What I want to do is to be able to __delete__ an audio file (or song)
on my iPad/iPod/iPhone (the Mac Library is there via Home Sharing)
once and for all:
I don't want to have to go back to iTunes and delete them there.
I want to delete them on the device and forget about them!
Please Apple it's about time.
Any suggestions welcome!
with best regards,

aMSN and Mercury only do video no audio, these are the only 2 progams that do video on the MSN network.

Relinking Deleted Audio to Clips

Is there a way to relink deleted audio from clips that were unlinked from their audio tracks that were then deleted? so basically, if I have a clip, cut it and edit it, unlink the video and audio, delete the audio, and then later want to have the audio again. One way would be to drag in the clip, align it with the old clip, copy all edits and delete the old clip, but I have a lot of clips. I thought one option would be to open the .prproj file in a text editor and change it there, as this has saved me hours of work on other applications. Can't find any info though on the file structure, and I could spend the better part of 2 weeks hunting this one down. If anyone has a fix, I would very much appreciate it. And Alt-dragging the source clip from the bin onto the old clip does not bring in the audio.
Thanks

There's no 'easy' way to do this. That's why it's best to never delete the audio from clips. Mute the track if you have to, but leave the clip in tact.

How to Delete Audio Permanently ? Logic or Peak

hi, when you double-click an audio region in the arrange, it's opens for
editing. You delete some audio, save. Close the Logic file. Quit Logic.
BUT you could later get the audio back by start logic, open that song,
open the audio editor and choose "undo" and like magice the previously
deleted audio reappears.
I want it gone, forever, unrecoverable.
I've deleted the "LogicSampleUndo" files, i've Emptied the Trash per
page 90 of the ref manual.
What do I have to do to actually, really, finally delete this audio ?
I've had to open the audio i peak and do the delete, then save, then logic can't bring it back
but I'd like to just use Logic.

thank you for the reply,
but,
I meant that I want to delete a "protion" of an audio file. This is why I use Logic's sample editor.
Example, a voice dialog that lasts 8 bars. I was to delete, permanantly, the last 2 bars.
Normally, I would open the audio file in the sample editor, select the last 2 bars and hit
the delete key, Logic will show that it's "moving samples" and will warn that I am about to
delete. I hit yes, or delete and the waveform display updates to show that the last 2 bars
are deleted.
But under undo I can aways get the last 2 bars back. I want to NEVER get them back.
Empty the Logic trash?
Kill the undo?
What hidden file?

Bringing back deleted audio in a sequence

I've always wondered about this question but have never thought to ask about it. Basically, if you have deleted audio from a video clip in a sequence, is there any way to bring that audio back - synced to the video clip - with a click of a button or do you need to go back to the original footage and find in and out points to bring it back? It would seem rather elementary to have an easier option but I've just never seen anything. Thanks.

Put your play-head at the very start of your clip on the timeline and press F. This is the match frame function, and brings the master clip into the viewer window, including the IN and OUT points. You can then overwrite just the audio from the viewer back onto the timeline.
Just make sure that the V1 track destination button is unlinked so that you write just the audio back onto the timeline, this will prevent you having to re-do any Motion or Filters on the video portion of the clip.

Deleting Audio Tracks independently

new to FCP, as my question shows.
How can I delete audio from a track without the rest of the audio shifting over.
I know how to lock the Video track and separate that. I just don't want the rest of the audio to move.
Thanks for your time!

The key marked in red above will delete and leave a gap where the audio or video track was.
The key marked in blue will delete and ripple.

Ipad background audio from video when multitasking

Hello.
This is a request if people can either feedback On their present experience or try this out themselves first and feedback.
I have an ipad 1. When ever i try to get background audio to play from video when multitasking in another app, eg safari, from any video app including plex, airvideo, vlc, and the original apple video app. All that occurs is that the icon changes to the ipod and a random song is played from my music library instead of the audio from the video i was watching. This does not matter if the video file is streamed or stored on the ipad itself.
There is one slight and occasional proviso to this, as at times if the video file is tagged in itunes as 'music' rather than 'movie' or 'tv show' etc then it does on occasions work, and on occasions youtube videos will play in the background. But most of the time these aspects also dont function int he background with the ipod icon instantly replacing which ever video app icon i tried to use in the background.
Now my sons iphone 4 manages to function correctly and always plays video in the background when multitasking.
I have asked this question before on this forum, with no response, so booked a visit to my local genius bar. Where they checked my ipad and agreed it wasnt working as ios should, then interestingly they attempted to do the same on an ipad 2 and it failed to work in exactly the same way. Their response was that this was obviously a fault of the ipad ios, possibly due to the ipad having a separate video app where as the iphone has video within its generic ipod app.
I did the usual by informing apple via of this bug through the feedback system, and requested that the genius bar do the same. But having thought about this, and failed to see any other users on this forum who are also puzzled at this lack of what i think is an important function, i wonder if this means that i am the only one who likes to listen to video when im browsing, so dont need it, or wether everyone elses ipads function as ios should do, and for some reason both my ipad, and the ipad 2 tested in the shop are at fault.
So can i request if others reading this can have a go to see if their ipad will play background audio from video when multitasking, or if the same problem occurs.
Thanks very much this is really appreciated.

Oops clicked the wrong button, I meant to click a 'helpful answer' as it hard to have a correct answer to such a question.
But thanks for the replies.
It looks like this is a bug in ios solely for the ipad, as it does work fine on the iphone although wonder which way the ipod touch will perform. interestingly it looks like i may also be in the minority of wishing to listen to video files as I browse:)
Which probably means apple may never get around to sorting it, as no one else uses the function.
Anyway thanks for the replies, if any one else wants to see the bug have a go and comment, i find it funny how I seem to be the only one to have found it to date.

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Central

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Centralk I have a very important video I took that runs fine in Vado Central. However, when I try transferring it anywhere else (Facebook, Photobucket, iMovie) the audio speeds up and makes my son sound like a chipmunk.
My computer is a MacBook OS 0.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 processor, 2GB memory, which should meet the system requirements.
I've been going back and forth with customer-no-service and their last suggestion was that there's nothing wrong with the camera or Vado Central and that Facebook, Photobucket and iMovie must all be independently having the exact same problem
I'm very frustrated and unhappy. This camera is only 2 months old, but it's too late for me to return it and right now it's worthless to me. Worst of all, my very important video is ruined. Anybody have any suggestions

Yes, it sounds the same (too fast) no matter what computer we try it from. I've tried burning a DVD every way I can think of and when we try to play it on our DVD player we still have chipmunk audio.
I am BEYOND frustrated with Vado's customer-no-service. They keep insisting that since it will play in Vado Central I don't have a problem. I bought this camera so that I could share video with my family that's across the country. What am I supposed to do now, mail them the camera?! It's absurd!
