Drag a clip to a new track?

New user here with a simple question I can't seem to find the answer to. How do I drag a clip to a new track and while making sure it stays locked in time? Usually there is a modifier key (like shift) to hold when dragging. Thanks.

Thanks Steve. I guess I need to "lock in time" a clip before I drag it. In other apps I've used you are able to just grab the clip and if you hold down the shift key before dropping it onto a different track, the clip stays locked to the same time. I thought there might be a similar command in Audition.

Can I click and drag a clip to a new location on the time line ?

Can I click and drag a clip to a new location on the time line ?

Did you try?

Fairly new to PP. When I drag a clip from the media browser only the video goes into the timeline. It doesn't allow the audio. What could I be doing wrong?

Copying Clips to New Tracks in Premier Elements 2

I am using Premier Elements 2 and I'm trying to copy clips from Video 1 track to another video track. When I paste the clip it always seems to appear on Video track 1.
How can I copy a clip from video 1 track to any other track i.e 2, 3 or 4.
Many Thnaks.
Stewie

Any time you use paste, the clip will go to Video 1 at the position of the CTI.
To place a clip on another video track, just drag it there.

How Do You Apply Process Effects To Multiple Clips In A Multi-Track?

A multi-track sequence brought over from Premiere, I have over a dozen clips from a funeral service video that need noise reduction.
But, because it's a process effect, I can only work on one clip at a time. Furthermore, I may need to apply several passes of the NR effect to eliminate the noise without sounding weird.
How then do I apply that effect (and its parameters) to the rest of the clips in the sequence?
In Premiere, you can copy and paste effects (and their parameters) from one clip to another. There is no such thing in Audition that I can see.

Hi, Alex.
It seems you want to do some broadband de-noise processing. While one can do a noisefloor sampling from one clip and apply it to others (great for when you have multiple takes from the same setup), it may be best to noise sample each individually if the mic has moved position enough to cause the tonal characteristics to change.
An example would be if on-screen talent is walking in an outdoor location. In one part of the location, a particular section of the clip has a lot of BG traffic noise. Another recording has a fountain in the BG - while it still may have some of the traffic in it, the predominant BG noisefloor is "strong fountain/weak traffic", so like others have mentioned, it makes more sense to make a new BG sampling to match the characteristics of this clip.
All that being said, here is how you BATCH PROCESS / broadband de-noise a bunch of clips, it's a 4-tiered / 21-step process when starting from scratch.
                              NOTE: there is a manual cheat after the Batch Processing lesson - skip to that if you wish
(WARNING - this type of processing is most successful if the file has been EQ'd or gain boosted (if needed) before processing. This is also true for the noisefloor sample. It should be taken from the pre-adjusted clip so that it all matches level)
1) find / open a source clip that best represents the BG noisefloor you wish to sample as your broadband source for processing,
then in the WAVEFORM editor window press alt-shift-C to save this selection as a new file - give it a unique name that represents its function
     a. ideally, this selection will be more than 5000 samples
     b. should be free of non-BG noise sounds (Dx, footsteps, mouth sounds, it should sound like a very short ambiance loop)
2) with your new sample saved and your source clip still open in the UI:
     a. load your noise print file
     b. adjust the Noise Reduction and Reduce by sliders (I suggest you start with a noise reduction value of 100% with a reduce value of 3 to 6 dB)
     c. under Advanced Settings, set Spectral to 0%, Smoothing to 20, Precision to 7, and Transition width to 2dB - these settings
         are like painting not with a wide brush but with a thinner brush, which means less cancellation of frequencies you want to keep and less artifacting
     d. toggle on/off the Output Noise Only function to see just what you are subtracting in your process - a great way to make adjustments until your
         noisefloor-only sound is free of Dx and other Production sounds
     e. optional advanced step - in the process UI Frequency window, you can draw a curve to select the frequency ranges that will be processed - this is another
         way of "thinning the brush" so that you are NOT processing where it's not needed in the broadband range - i.e. hiss from a low-quality mic,
         open the FA window [alt-Z] to see realtime Freq. Analysis on playback of your clip with the processing;
         adjust your settings and the curve in the window to counter the frequency range of the noisefloor - this process is like alchemy, wicked awesome
     f. once you're happy with your settings, click the Save Effects Preset button (down-arrow on hard-drive) next to the Presets pulldown button.
               do NOT apply your process yet - that's the next step
3) now, you're going to create the Favorite that the Batch Process will use to process your clips
     a. select Favorites / Start Recording Favorite (every user function of the software is now being recorded into a macro)
     b. in the Noise Reduction UI, click the Load Noise Print button and select your saved file
     c. now, select your preset from the pulldown menu
     d. click the Select Entire File button below the UI Freq. window
     e. click Apply
     f. click Favorites / Stop Recording Favorite
4) now, under EDIT, select Batch Process
     a. select your new Favorite from the pulldown tab
     b. drag and drop the files into the Batch window or load them from the Load button in the upper left of the Batch window
     c. click the Export Settings button in the bottom left
     d. set any pre/postfix labeling additions (this works a lot like Adobe Bridge's Batch Rename tool - amending the original filename to differentiate
     e. set a NEW save location to isolate the files
     f. set the format / type / bitrate (best to keep the original format or a higher quality); when finished, click OK
     g. in the lower right corner, click the RUN button and watch the magic right before your eyes
[HERE IS THE CHEAT]
Now that you're learned the magic of batch processing (FYI a new favorite can contain / execute multiple existing effect processes), here is what I recently did in a doc with interview footage - guys in front of a green screen with a less than perfect sound environment.
1) in Multitrack mode, double-click your clip to process
2) in Waveform mode, select the noisefloor area to sample and type shift-P
3) type ctrl-shift-P to open the UI - adjust your De-noise settings for ALL of your processing
4) type ctrl-A to select the entire file
5) click Apply; type ctrl-shift-S to save this processed file (I add "_PROC") as an alternate to the original which still exists should you want to go back to it easily - the ALT file will be in the multitrack timeline
6) type G (de-select I/O area) then type F12 key - returns to Multitrack mode
7) double-click your next clip to process and repeat steps 3-7 until finished (you won't need to tweak the settings in 3 after the initial step 3)
In 3-5 minutes, you're Done!
I discovered another layer of coolness within Audition regarding CLIP Effects Racks where one can setup a stack of effects, save as a User Preset, and apply them to either an individual clip, a set of clips, or to a track. This is great when you want to apply, for example, a Parametric EQ for filtering an outdoor location or boosting a lav mic's High Freq. Shelf for addition sibilance PLUS a Tube-modeled Compressor to handle dynamics...you spend a lot of time tweaking the settings "just right", and now you want to apply to more than one clip on a track.
In a short film I'm working on, I use this technique to apply EQ and Room Ambiance (reverb) to camera perspective changes on a single track of ADR for off-camera Dx. I place the Dx in a track. Splice on the camera edits to make unique clips, select the Audio Perspective preset I made for each camera angle, and Voila!
Have fun!

Running FCP6.06 on lion and losing one audio trac when I drag a clip to the sequence

I was able to get FCP6.06 working on my new macBook pro with lion. Edited for over a week. Now it is acting up. When I drag a clip into the timeline only track 2 audio shows up. any ideas?

Make sure the track selectors are connected properly in the patch section on the left part of the Timeline.

When creating new track in stereo... track opens in mono in arrange window

Since upgrading to 8.0.2...weird things are happening to previously saved projects. Stereo tracks are opening up mono and affecting following track. When creating new tracks in stereo.... tracks open mono. I don't know if this is due to 8.0.2 but all these freaky things have happening since. Also, when previewing Apple Loops, I can only hear it on one side, but Loops sounds fine once dragged to arrange window. Is this common or is my computer haunted ? Should I call Ghost Busters ? HELP !!! lol

Hi there,
I'm having the same problem as well: creating new tracks results in a mono software instrument, not the usual stereo software instrument. BUT... "Universal Track Mode" is already checked in my Audio prefs. I unchecked & rechecked it, but to no avail... I'm still only getting mono software instruments.
Any other ideas? No changes have been made to my system, and I'm running the latest version of Logic Pro.

Bouncing down to new track - mono!!

Hi - I'm using CS5.5 for Mac and I want to be able to bounce edited, joined, multi-clips to new tracks in mono. The original tracks are all mono - but the bouncing function always produces a new track in stereo. Is there a setting somewhere that I've missed (I have looked exhaustively).
As a workaround I have to use the 'convert sample' function in Edit view to create a mono track from the newly bounced stereo track and then add it back in to Multitrack view. This is extremely tedious in a complicated editing project.
Anyone else come across this?
Cheers

ignor SteveG, does not understand the question.
Understand the question perfectly - there isn't an answer because, as you have observed, the function isn't there at present.
I'm thinking I might as well just uninstall CS6 because to many featues from CS3 were removed in CS6 and I find it user UNFRIENDLY.
No features from Audition 3 (not CS3) were removed in CS6 (only it was actually CS5.5) - they simply weren't implemented in a complete rewrite from the ground up. Not all features were re-implemented, simply because there wasn't sufficient time to implement them all before the externally-imposed deadline arrived. Some, but not all, have been added back in successive iterations. Yes, it's pretty much by popularity I think, although some things will likely never return, as they've been superseded by newer implementations. A typical example of this would be Scripting.
What I pointed out (several years ago), possibly too subtly, was that there are alternative ways of achieving a mono bounce, and it's one of those that you have to use. I have no idea if the original 'bounce to mono' will be implemented - if you want it back, you'll have to submit a feature request.

Re-recording to a new track when original track has right channel off

I have a track and when the volume is off on the right channel, the guitar (right channel) is silent.
How do I bounce this track, with the guitar silent, to a new track so the guitar is no longer present in the recording?
I'm sure it's a routing issue from the original track to the new track, but can't seem to implement it.
Thank you

Try to do the following:
Make a new logic song.
Turn OFF universal trackmode, in your audio preferences.
Import your stereo audio track, and create two new mono audio channels.
drag the stereo audio file to the two mono audio files.
DONE.
if you then want to make a mono file from the channel without the guitar, export that file by itself, bounce it, or however you like to export audio regions.
Cheers

Can't drag imovie clips to project window to export them

I just finished interviewing someone remotely where he was recording his video on his mac with imovie. The recording went great but when he tried to drag the raw footage to the project window so he could export them to me, he could not drag them. They just kept bouncing back. He does not need to edit the clips just export them to me. The files are not unusually big. Why can't he drag them to the project window?

Hi
Did he first - in the Project window - create a new project (PLUS SIGN - down to the right) ?
must do that first
then open this new project and drag event clips to it (I keep alt-key down when clicking down on one event clip to get all of it)

"Bounce to new track" creates a mixdown 2/3 volume of the original

When I right click and bounce a track to a new track, the resulting Mixdown file shows as only about 2/3 the volume of the original. The original is -1, the Mixdown is -4. It also looks flat and compressed. I have no buses and the volume/pans are all at 0. If I right click and "export to file" I get the same result. Shouldn't the mixdown be identical to the original track?
I've checked all settings.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Dstdean and runaway,
Thanks for the tips. Export gives the same results, in fact, every way of creating a bounce, including bounce to new track, mixdown to track, bounce master to track, and export file all have the same results, -3db cut.
My session as has no effects racks, buses, volume or pan changes. Tech support tells me that this -3db cut is a standard thing and actually Protools does the same thing, except in protools you can disable it. So far tech support hasn't been able to help me (after several hours on the phone).
The thing is I can also create a new session and have the same problem. When I change the stereo panning parameter to logarithmic in a new session it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I have also deleted my ini settings and started from scratch, but the results are still unpredictable and baffling. One thing is predictable though....no matter what I do to my real session I cannot bounce my tracks to files without a -3db cut, no way no how, and believe me, my session is clean. I have also tried with other sessions in progress and the result is the same. The only time I have had a good result was once when I created a new session, and changed the stereo panning to log.. but I was able to do this only once, and haven't been able to repeat the good result.
I even tried panning and saving a stereo track then pasting one side into a new mono file, but this also has processing and the data is actually clipped when I do this, because of the way audition treats stereo panning on bounce. This is not an ideal solution.
It's wacky and given that many people now are working in multi studio scenarios and flying in tracks it is essential to be able to create pristine stem files. irg....@! I need to send my drum tracks out west asap! Very frustrating. Surely someone else out there must be having the same problem! Does anyone else out there ever bounce to a new track?
I appreciate the banter on this!!

MuVo - When new track begins I cannot rewind back into the end of the previous tra

Hi all, here is my problem. i tried to put it in a formal way to ease the reading.
Player: Creative MuVo 52MB TX FMFirmware: Creative MuVo TX FM Audible Firmware Upgrade Version .3.03
Problem: When new track begins I cannot rewind back into the end of the previous track. If I want to hear the end of a track I have to start from the beginning and fast <SPAN>froward through the tracks entirety towards the end of the track. This is especially frustrating when listening to a 20+ minute podcast or audiobook and all I want is to here the last couple of minutes. As stated in the user manual "frequent use of fast <SPAN>froward/reverse" will use more battery power and this is not an acceptable solution for wanting to hear the last couple of minutes. (Usually this happens when i am interrupted and the next track has already started, etc.)
Suggested solution: If a user is at 00:00:00 and the user holds the rewind button then user shall start rewinding from then end of the last track. An analogy of this would be if you fast <SPAN>froward to a new chapter on a DVD player and then press and hold rewind, it allows you to rewind through the end of the skipped chapter. Please include this functionality in the next firmware update.
thanks for your time, nickc

Nick,
Great suggestion. FYI, I have similar hardware to yours:
Player: Creative MuVo 256MB TX FMFirmware: Creative MuVo TX FM Audible Firmware Upgrade Version .3.03
I imagine there are several ways to implement your idea. One way would be to have the firmware let you: () begin rewinding from any point in the current program; (2) when rewind reaches the 00:00:00, a tone could be emitted (this would alert the user that s/he has reached the beginning of the current program); (3) then the user could either decide to stop there or (4) by holding down the rewind, say, 2-3 seconds, the rewind would be forced to 'skip' back to the end of the previous program.
If the user is not listening to the program while rewinding (and thus cannot hear the tone), this should not be a problem, as the display would make clear what is happening.
On another issue...
Regarding your comment "...creative does a good job with the timing of the fast-foward/rewind feature available now," I beg to differ. In my experience, the timing of the TX FM's rewind makes it very difficult for a user to do an 'instant replay' of a short audiobook section. This is frequently needed when a narrator's voice is unclear, or the user is distracted by something.
For example, say I want to review the last 5 seconds. This is impossible, as the rewind specifications cause the rewind to behave approximately as follows:
- First 3 seconds realtime rewinds program 6-7 seconds
- After that, each second realtime rewinds 30 seconds; so each additional second rewinds 30 seconds
- Of course, it gets faster and faster thereafter (in 30-second, 5-minute, and 5-minute segments)
You see, therefore, that it is impossible to efficiently skip back 5 seconds, as the rewind goes back 6-7 seconds, then skips all the way back to the 37-second point. The only way to go back 5 seconds (a couple of sentences) is to: () overshoot your target by an unknown number of seconds, then wait a long time until your desired segment appears, or (2) tediously rewind 5-6 seconds; wait until the TX FM is ready for another rewind; rewind another 5-6 second segment; wait again; then rewind another short segment to get to the 5-seconds-back point. For the most part I use method (2), but do not always release the rewind button in time each of 3 times before the accelerated rewind kicks in. What a drag!
The Audible Otis player, as I recall, did not have this particular problem, though its buttons were harder to manipulate.
I would doubt whoever designed this rewind specification has experience listening to audiobooks.
CREATIVE: We need a rewind function that eventually picks up speed, but I would recommend that the most recently played approx. 30 seconds of program time be accessible via a rewind compressed to appox. 5 seconds realtime.
Catherina & Jeremy, are you listening?

PE 9; is there a way to click and drag a clip to Organizer?

Is there a way to click and drag a clip from the timeline or sceneline to the organizer to keep it intact and use l, or in another project? Thanks.

You mean a trimmed clip?
No, you can't do that.
However, you can use Share/Computer/AVI -- isolating the clip with the Work Area Bar if necessary -- to save any portion of your timeline as a new clip.

Timeline Help (clips dropping to lower track)

I've recently switched from FCP 7 to 10. My normal workflow for 7 was to get a few multicam tracks (these tracks have already been synced with Plural Eyes and the multicam clip has been inserted into the Main Sequence) on several different tracks. Track 1 would be one style of shooting (i.e., hard light), Track 2 would be another style (i.e., soft light) and Track 3 would be a different style. This way, I could quickly look at the 3 different tracks and know which style I was dealing with. I would use the blade tool and make edit points and click and drag the edges of the multicam clip to match the track below or above (see image):
I can't seem to do this in FCP X. In FCP X, I select the clips that pertain to the style of shooting, syncronize them, then place them in the timeline. I do this with all three styles of shooting. Using my blade, I can't drag the edges of the clip and create gaps. The only way I can create gaps is if I "LIFT FROM STORYLINE", but then if a gap is created, it falls to the track below it.
Clearly I'm doing something wrong.
I made a video to show you my thought process and it might help explain what I'm doing and what I may be doing wrong.

As Tom suggested, Multicam is the way for you to do this. You can position your clips just where you want them and tweaking as you do in your video is dead simple.
I strongly recommend you watch the Ripple Training Multicam Turorial.
There is a small fee, but it's more than worth it.

Why can't I drag a clip into the timeline?

I just loaded PP CD5 onto my Win 7 laptop. I can import movie clips into my project, but I can't drag any of those clips into the timeline. When I try to drag them, I get a hand with a "do not enter" symbol. No error messages of any kind.
I vaguely remember having this same issue when I loaded PP CS5 on my Win 7 desktop several months ago, and I thought I found something on the forums that told me how to fix it, but I can't find it now. Perhaps a change in the preferences?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Did you actually create a sequence? If not, go to File > New > Sequence, or drag one of your clips to the New Item icon at the bottom of the Project Panel. You can also click that to get the New Sequence option.
