Duplicating an audio segmant
Is there a way to duplicate and audio segment- copy and paste does not do it.
Hello Mel:
Unless I am missing something in your question-
If you import the audio into the timeline and then go to edit>copy>paste it should work. If it is audio that is already on the video you will need to extract it first then copy>paste.
If it is from music in your audio files, them just import it at the playhead.

ITunes took Utube-type movie files and duplicated the audio only and added it to Music in iTunes
I have about 8,000 short video clips in my iTunes library and about 9,000 songs. When setting up iTunes Match, i noticed some ineligible files were titled as if they were video clips (ie 'Drunk guy slaps wife at church'). I checked for that same file name under Movies in iTunes, and there it was--in MPEG4 format...it played normally, video and sound.
I went back to the audio only file in Music of iTunes to find that it was an ACC audio file with an 'm4a' format. The video fiile is 13MB, the audio only 3MB.
I've found about 20 files that have been duplicated this way.
QUESTION: I have never extracted the audio only portion of these video files, and I don't go around encoding or changing formats of my videos. How in the world did the audio of a video file show up in the Music section of my iTunes as a duplicate to an original file found in my Movies section of iTunes?!
If you have any ideas, I'd apprecate an explanation to this mystery...I'm starting to believe in supernatural powers.

Duplicating an audio tract?
I recently used a wireless Sony microphone with my Panasonic PVGS-150 camcorder. Unfortunately, it just records mono, so when I played that clip on iMovie, there was only audio from one speaker. Is there any way to duplicate that audio to the second audio tract so it will play out of BOTH speakers?
Thanks!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)Hi Ed
Not in iMovie 5 but may be in iMovie 6 (more sound editing tools)
I would export the movie as .aiff sound file and open it in a sound
editing program. Copy left to right then save and re-import to iMovie.
There are free sound editing programs as:Audacity

Duplicating an audio signal.
I was using and external mic to record some live music with a canon vixia HF 200. The cable of the mic broke and half of the recording has only sound through the left channel. How can I copy this signal so I can reproduce it on the right channel? In which other ways can I solve this problem?
Thank yo very much for your help.Pan the clip to center; it will output on both channels equally.

I have duplicated some audio files from a clip (room tone) not being used in the timeline and I have inserted them in one or two video clips that need that ambient sound. I've noticed as I work on other areas of my timeling that those sound clips either shrink or vanish altogether.
What am I missing?sorry if I came off snarky. What can I say, it happens. Are you capturing as ProRes? If so, you should make your sequence settings match those settings. If you edit a clip into a new sequence, does it ask you to match the sequence settings to the clip settings? If you say OK, do these settings match those of the sequence you've been working in?

A nice reverb plugin for final cut ?
Hi,
I'm looking for an audio reverb plugin to works with FCP. I know I can use Soundtrack, but I only need a nice reverb from time to time.
Any suggestion ?
ThanksHave you tried to duplicated the audio track and applied the filter to one and then mixed it to the other? Works better than just flat sticking it on one audio clip.

Hi everybody,
Just finished editing my movie, and now we want to move into sound editing. In order to give the sound designer something to work with, I wanted to export a "poorer quality" of the complete film, since he doesn't need the picture to be in top quality. However, now I tried a couple of different settings, mostly MPEG2, but I'm occuring quite a strange error. Occasionally the movie will flickr and loop a couple of frames of the film. There's nothing wrong with the source file, so I'm pretty sure this is happening in the export. My source material is 1080i, but I'm quite confused as to what is causing this.
Looking forward to any help you might be able to offer,
Best Regards
JeppeTried essentially everything and is still not close to solving this. In the beginning I thought it was specific spots in the movie that caused this, but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to when these loops will happen:
I noticed this info in a youtube video, seems like someone has had the exact same problem.
"Just something someone else has a problem with. CS4, Panasonic AVCHD, after exporting the footage, it seems to have duplicated frames, audio is off sync, etc. So what could have caused this? And re-starting the software, cleaning the media cache doesn´t fix it"
Somebody answered with this:
"Sounds like a bad rendered frames. Try deleting rendered frames (under one of menues)"
However, I tried this and it didn't help.
Once again, I will really appreciate any input you might be able to offer.
Cheers,
Jeppe -
Would a clean install help?
I have a Logitech USB headset that I use for Skype and Second Life. I normally use it on my iBook G4 and have never had an issue with it.
If I connect it to my PowerMac G5 (late 2003) I sometimes get audio output but no response from the microphone. The headset rarely works completely on the G5.
Sound preferences have been configured correctly for both input andoutput. I have tried connecting to every USB port on the CPU, both ports on the keyboard and all five ports on my powered hub with the hub connected to all three powered CPU ports. I have also duplicated the audio input issue using an analog microphone connected both via the audio in port and a USB iMic interface.
Both the G5 and my iBook are up-to-date with OSX and security updates.
I am not experiencing any problems with any other USB peripherals.
I would suspect that somewhere along the line, the G5's audio settings/software/etc. may have become corrupted or otherwise gone bad. Anybody out there with a different opinion before I backup the G5 and re-install Tiger?
Any help is greatly appreciated.I went ahead with the clean install of Tiger today.
So far, the headset is working properly. I'll post again if that changes. -
IMovie has 'lost' lots of my clips
Just trying to do a compile of old footage & I found heaps of my clips are marked as only being 0.01 in duration. Obviously when I try to play them nothing happens.
Uh-oh I thought, iMovie has somehow trashed the original footage so I looked in the iMovie events folder & the original footage is still there & can be viewed in QuickTime.
So I tried to import one of the clips & it did so no problem & it went back into the event it was supposed to be in.
What gives?
How can it not be seeing the files in its own source folder?
More importantly how can I fix this. Doing a faux import is just out of the question as it woukd takes hours & hours & will probably result in footage being duplicated.The audio should still be there. Try opening the clip inspector to the audio tab and set the volume slider to 100%.
Also, make sure you don't have the ducking feature in use. That will cause all other clips to be muted while the ducking is on. -
Audio disabled when linked to port duplicator
I am using Windows XP with my Thinkpad T400, and bought a Lenovo port duplicator model k33415 with my computer. I have a keyboard and mouse attached to the port duplicator as well as a PDA sometimes.
Whenever the port duplicator is attached to the computer, the computer speakers do not work and I cannot hear any audio. When I restart the computer without the port duplicator attached, the computer speakers work fine. I have tried everything! Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi! Actually, I fixed it on my own. Under audio properties I adjusted the settings for "Conexant HD audio", made it my default device, and under AUdio and then "advanced," I needed to set speakers to laptop speakers. What I have not done yet is seen whether this disables audio when I disconnect from the port replicator.... then I suppose I need to change the default device. You may not have the same problem, but at any rate, good luck!

after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?
iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION. -
Audio recording on a Canon GL2, duplicating channels
Hi! I just recorded for the first time using a microphone, shotgun mic through the mic input on the GL2, and it seems only to be giving me one channel of audio. The default mic on the GL2 records in two channels. Does anyone have any tips on getting two channels through the shotgun mic or perhaps duplicating the channel in Final Cut Express to have two channels in post production? I'm using an Audio Technica ATR55 Telemike. Thank you all for helping a newbie!
The mic is mono. It only records on one channel. Rather than double the sound you can center it. Edit into the timeline only the track of audio with the mic. Select the audio in the timeline and press Control-period to center pan the sound.

Audio recording--files missing, duplicated, long inserted silence, and more
When we use Captivate 2 to record audio files we find that
when we go into the "edit timing" option, there are extra periods
of time--long blank silences--inserted into the project. We have
also noticed that some clips can get duplicated. We have also had
issues with the files not saving or, saving, but when we re-open
the .cp file there are random slides missing their audio files.
Most of our files are only 4-5 minutes long, but I have been
working on a 25 minute presentation and it has given me no end of
problems when i try to save or publish it. captivate stops
responding and i lose all my audio. any suggestions?How large is your Captivate file?
I've noticed that on closing Captivate with a 100MB file
there is a significant delay in which Captivate seems to hang. If
you watch the target directory, the .cp file will "disappear" and
then reappear after some time, perhaps a minute or more. I'm
guessing that on my older laptop, Captivate is chugging along
behind the scenes, manipulating temp files or the like.
To cope, I'm using a brute force approach in which I have two
versions of each audio file: a tiny placeholder and the actual
audio file. The files are named the same but stored in folders
named Tiny (10 sec of silence) and Big (the actual audio file). I
use a third folder, named Working, to import audio. From
Captivate's point of view all audio paths point to the Working
folder.
When I'm editing slide 15, I copy the tiny files for slides
1-14 into the working folder, overwriting the existing files. Then
I update the audio for slides 1-14, using the library's update
tool. As a result, the project size slims back down and saving the
project no longer take so long. At the end, I copy the full files
into the working folder, update, and publish.
As you might imagine audio file naming conventions are
important . You need to be able to see at a glance which audio goes
with which slides. If I use Captivate to record audio, I export the
file so I can store it in Big and then rename a copy of a tiny file
to match it.
The down side is that the timing on closed captions seems to
be affected by substituting the tiny file for the full slide audio.
So, I wait to set up the timing for closed captions until the end
when I publish using the full files.
Even as I write this I wince. I certainly hope someone else
will suggest a more elegant way. My approach is not at all pretty
I've found it less frustrating than working with a sluggish
Captivate and putting up with the hangs I experienced prior to
using tiny files.

Duplicating audio to play in both channels
I want to take my audio for channel one and duplicate it so that the same audio plays out of both left and right channels. I can duplicate the audio and put it on the layer below but it just plays both layers our of the left channel. how can i make it play out of both left and right channels?
ThanksIt sounds like you originally had a stereo pair (a1/a2) that you unlinked, which gave you a Mono(a1) and a Mono(a2), and then you deleted one of them.
When you unlink a stereo pair, each resulting Mono track retains its original properties, including left or right channel assignment. This can be changed with the pan control in the Viewer.
When you duplicated the clip (a1 for sake of argument) and placed it on a new track, all you got was another copy that retained all the same characteristics of the original - including the left or right channel assignment. That's why you still only had audio from one channel.
The way to change this is to pan to center as I described above. -
How to change file name of duplicated audio track??????
I option-clicked-dragged an audio track vertically to create a new track (the manual says to drag the track number but that doesn't seem to work - I dragged the single region). I created a new track name. I then dragged the new track to the right, so the notes are displaced. However, both tracks point to the same file (when I delete some audio in one track, the corresponding audio is automatically deleted in the other track - wrong behavior).
How do I get the second track to be stored in a new file?
Thanksthis is normal behavior, option dragging makes a new region, but it still is using the same audio file.
to create a new audio file out of the copy you can, from the audio menu in the arrange window choose "Convert regions to new audio files" this will turn it into a new audio file
