Edit audio in Quicktime?

I have an mp3 file which I'd like to edit and export the edited version. Can I do this in QT? Where can I find info on how to do this? Thanks.

Geoff,
If you have Quicktime Pro then:
Move the playhead until the desired frame appears, or select the part of the movie you want to modify (use the In and Out selection markers and the arrow keys).
Choose Edit > Copy, Cut, or Delete.
or you can also delete all parts of a movie that are not selected by choosing Edit > "Trim to Selection."
After you delete parts of a movie, the file size stays the same until you choose File > Save As and select "Save as a self-contained movie."

AC3 Audio in QuickTime

I have one question. It is a very simple question. But first, an intro: I have done a huge amount of research into this, and I am absolutely sick of it, because I have found no solution. All I want to do is convert AC3 Audio into AAC format with QuickTime, but of all the apparent solutions I have found, none of them seem to work. I have a work-around for this (first convert to wav with other software), but I'd prefer to keep it in one step because when I convert it to wav, the channel information is discarded.
So, here goes - *is it possible, by any means whatsoever, to play AC3 audio in QuickTime?*
At the moment my only option seems to be that I buy a mac and install Perian.

Actually, never mind. I found a solution. There's a program called eac3to which can split ac3 files into six separate WAVs, one for each channel, which you can then merge in QuickTime and export as a 5.1 channel AAC file.

Editing audio after extracting it

Hi, had a quick browse and not sure if this has been dealt with in the forum but......
I have a video of a performance which I now just want to make an audio file from and so I extracted all audio from all clips first before working into it. It seems that now when I want to edit some unwanted conversation from the audio it just edits the visuals but leaves audio intact.
Should I have done all editing first before extracting or have I missed something?
thankyou!!

Hi again!
I downloaded audacity and opened my quicktime.aiff project in it to edit then when I wanted to save/close it as aiff. to import back into imovie, it wouldn't let me saying no other programmes can open aud files. It wanted me to share it as either wav or mp3 file but when i selected mp3 it said audacity doesn't share automatically and wanted me to find another file/prog (don't know) which i don't have. So it seems my audacity edited audio is no use now.
I have just gone back to imovie and extracted my audio and now want to create the best audio file/disc I can from this.
What is the best/pro (quality) way of going about this in imovie?
And/or have I missed something with audacity?
thankyou for any help!!

Export edited audio track in Final Cut Express

Does anyone know how to export an edited audio track as a mp3 without it being a video file using FCE?

Use Export>QuickTime Movie and change the export function to audio only. Take that to iTunes and use it to convert to MP3.

Crash 0::42 when Exporting Audio with Quicktime:

Hello Folks,
We're having an issue with exporting .mov files from After Effects. When a user tries rendering a project through Make Movie > Ouput Module > Quicktime Movie, AE crashes with the error code 0::42 if the user simply clicks the 'Format Options' button for Audio output. In addition, if the user selects File > Export > Quicktime Movie, the movie will get about half way done and crash with the same error.
This error occurs on all of our workstations. We are using CS4 and HP workstations of various makes and models, the only direct similarity is they all use Realtek built in audio. I have done some troubleshooting using procmon.exe and the issue that seems to be coming up points to a conflict with our audio driver and Quicktime (see the following regesty entries below)
The following kept coming up with a BUFFER OVERFLOW and NAME NOT FOUND results:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0262&SUBSYS_103C 130A&REV_1002\4&705ED8E&0&0001\DirectSound\Device Presence
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
Also, both registry entries point to the file
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins)\Common\AsioWdm.dll
Does AsioWdm.dll have some conflict with our HD Realtek audio and quicktime?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Sound card drivers / codecs. This actually allowed me to export Quicktime movies without crashing via File > Export. However, we're still experiencing the crash when clicking on 'Format Options' from Make Movie > Output Module > Format Options.
Does anyone have any idea what's causing / how to resolve our issue?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Hello again,
Thank you for your responses, here is an update on our status:
I am testing a simple scene with a .wav file. AE only crashes when we're using the Quicktime module and if we click on Format Options in the audio settings. All other modules seem to work just fine. Interestingly, if we choose File > Export > Quicktime Movie, we can access the audio compression options and AE does not crash.
In regards to ASIO, as far as I know, we are not interfacing with anything else. The workstations we're using have built-in speakers, but I don't see how that could be an issue and nothing else is plugged in.
As for the codecs, we have the k-lite package installed as well as DivX, Xvid and whatever comes with the Realtek drivers. I tried uninstalling k-lite and xvid, but neither seemed to help.
Other things I have tried:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled AE
- Updated Quicktime to the newest version
- Uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime to version 7.65
- Disabled openGL support
NOTE: we recently tried this on one of our workstations (z600) with windows 7 64 bit and we got the same issue.
No matter what we do, AE still crashes when we have the Quicktime format selected and click the Format Options Button for the audio settings.
Any other ideas?

CAN'T figure out how to make/edit movies in QuickTime Pro...

I can't seem to figure out how to creat and edit movies in Quicktime Pro. I would do this in windows movie maker as its sooo simple, but it doesn't save in a format that works on a mac computer (I'm emailing the video to someone who uses a mac!). And, I can't seem to find a program that is as easy to use as Windows Movie Maker...PLEASE help me, I really NEED to get this movie in a format to work on a Mac! I'm at a total loss as to what to do! And I can't seem to find a tutorial, either!
=( Kourtney

First of all, Quicktime is not really an "editing" program in the traditional sense. If you are expecting to really edit in QT Pro, you will be disappointed. Yes, you can actually import video directly into QT Pro and edit it, but the functions will be limited to roughly selecting chunks of video and deleting them, and you won't have frame-accurate control like other real editing programs. But lets start at the beginning: 1) Your post does not give enough information to anyone for them to help you. Where are the videos coming from that you want to edit? Camcorder? Digital camera that takes MPEG movies? VHS or DVDs? 2) The answer to #1 will be the clue as whether you are plugging a USB device or a Firewire device into the computer. Once this is determined, then instructions will vary as to how you go about editing. 3) I'm not sure if you are using QT Pro on a PC or a Mac. If you have a Mac, why don't you use the built-in video editing program that came with your computer? It's called iMovie? Quicktime can convert some video files into something that is compatible with iMovie, if they're not already. If you are using QT Pro on a PC, then I'm a little unfamilar as if it works exactly the same between between a Mac and PC. Seeing that you come from the PC side of the Universe, I'd bet that you are trying to plug in and use a USB device. On a Mac, QT Pro can record video directly from a camcorder, but it needs to be connected via Firewire. Otherwise for something transferred via USB, you most likely have an MPEG file. QT Pro can open this, but again, the editing will be very rough as QT is not a refined edit program.

How can i quick edit Audio( increase bass) of a single file?

Hi everyone,
Im new to FCPX. I have a bunch of videos of music gigs ive played and would like to increase the bass (via equalizer) on most of them. All these videos are already converted into an "Apple Friendly" format and are sitting comfortably in my Itunes Video folder. How can i quickly increase the bass in each video (Without having to tediously export one by one) in FCPX and do a quick overwrite over the original video without having to make an EXTRA file?
THanks

ok.
"Why don't you increase the bass with the equalizer in FCP? Do it to one clip and use paste attributes to apply it to other clips."
1) How do i copy the attributes after making the changes??
2) How do i paste the attributes onto the next file?
Thanks.

How to send FCP edited audio clips for processing in Soundtrack?

Hello
How do I send just the edited audio clips from hour long files to be processed in Soundtrack from Final Cut?
I need help as I'm trying to adjust some edited audio clips in Soundtrack Pro but when I send them from FCP to Soundtrack - it opens the whole original audio file and then any adjustments I apply in Soundtrack are being processed over the whole audio file not just the short edited audio clip that I want to adjust.
Normally I don't mind as my scenes are usually short and Soundtrack analysis over the whole scenes audio is usually desirable, but this projects files have been transfered from tapes as hour long AVI files (all the tapes clips transfered into one hour long files) and every FCP edited audio clip I send is being treated as an hour long audio file in Soundtrack.
I'm sure there's a simple answer for settings but I haven't been able to find it. Any advice appreciated.
Barra

Thanks Javi, my sequence is an hour and half duration so what I'm trying to do is save processing time in Soundtrack by just processing adjustments on the few audio clips that need processing.
I have set Soundtrack to open referenced audio only and with 5 sec in and out handles, but it still imports the whole original audio file into Soundtrack timeline upto the selected clip, I then double click in Soundtrack on the clip in brackets, and it then selects just the audio clip I want to adjust, then Soundtrack will just process on the edited clip but when I 'render to action' it seems to apply changes to whole original audio file - taking longer than I want.... frustrating
Also the sound always sounds very different in FCP than Soundtrack even after 'rendering to action' and rendering in FCP... this is not the easy workflow I expect from such expensive software programs, I understood that they work together in a fully integrated way, what's the problem! This is wasting my precious time and preventing me from editing not helping me, this is a common problem and yet I can find no help in the user manual - I'm not impressed!

Cap3: Edit Audio Timing display's thumbnail is too small

Hello ... Regarding Captivate 3 ...
I'm trying to time my voice-over audio to a series of
application scenario slides using the Edit Audio Timing display,
but am finding it extremely difficult because the small changes in
my slides (radio button selections, text input, dropmenu
selections, etc.) are too small to detect on the miniscule
thumbnail used in the display.
Is this poor interface design, or is there a setting
somewhere that allows me to increase the size of the thumbnail?
I've looked around, but can't find one. How do you handle syncing
audio to stretches of small screen changes?
Regards, Myron

Hi Myron
I won't argue as to whether this is good, bad or indifferent
interface design. But it is what it is and as far as I know it
cannot be changed. At first I thought perhaps we might see a change
if right-clicking the image and choosing "Zoom in". But all that
does is zooms in on the waveform.
This doesn't help any, but you may wish to make the
development staff aware that you would like to see the behavior
change in a future version. You may do this by
clicking
here and completing the form you should find there.
Cheers... Rick

Is there and ipad app that allows you to record and edit audio, but can record in the background? This would be to record voiceover auditions/podcasts while reading a script

Hi wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I am an audio engineer and my wife is a voiceover artist. We just got the ipad thinking she could record her voiceover auditions on the go, but we can't for the life of us figure out how to record audio while reading a script off of her email.
Looking for an app that:
Either can record audio while in the background (garageband cannot)
OR Import text (copy paste I guess?) to read while recording
The app needs to be able to edit audio and export or email out an MP3 - by edit audio I mean trim, fades, and move around sections.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? I have been looking around the web for answers for hours and can't find any. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi- I've done a lot of research in this area and actually am just finishing a book on this subject which will soon be in the iBookstore.
The best app is TwistedWave. It allows easy editing and recording, and also allows you record while you are in another app (such as a script your agent sent in your email)
I recommend MiC by Apogee as your microphone, available at the Apple store.
My book which goes in depth in how to get the best sound as well as how to edit is called:
iVoiceover
Super. Simple. Recording.
I'll post here when it's live in the iBookstore!

Unable to edit movies in QuickTime Pro

I just licensed a copy of QuickTime Pro. However, I find that I am unable edit movies.
The Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete and Trim to Selection menus remain greyed out, even when I specify a selection with the in/out markers. The movies I am trying to work with "MPEG Muxed" format, and were taken with a Sony DSC-N1 camera. Exporting them to other formats does not seem to solve the problem.
My understanding is that I should be able to edit movies with QuickTime Pro. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your swift response!
I got QuickTime Pro so I wouldn't need other utilities when doing trivial editing to videos, so I feel like I've probably wasted my money on a license. Why a free utility can handle a common format that QuickTime Pro can't is beyond me.
Thank you for your assistance! I've downloaded what you recommended and am up and running!

Edit Audio dialog box won't open

I cannot get the Edit Audio dialog box open -- I've double-clicked and right-clicked the audio in the timeline, tried the menu Audio > Edit > Slide..., poked around in Settings and Preferences but cannot find anything amiss in there.
I don't get any error message. Nothing happens at all.
I'm using Captivate 4 on a Windows XP machine, I've done a few projects before and never encountered this problem.
Any ideas??
Urgent help would be much appreciated -- have to get two project done in the next 24 hours.
Thanks in advance

Hi there
Try clobbering your preferences file.
Close Captivate
Open Windows Explorer
Navigate to the location below:
C:\Documents and Settings\*YOUR USER NAME HERE*\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
Delete the file named captivate_v40.dat
Restart Captivate and see if the problem is solved.

Edit audio window not visible in Captivate 5 for Mac

After putting closed captions into a project I went back to edit them and now the Edit Audio window doesn't appear at all. The captions and audio playback fine on preview. When I go to the Edit Audio window the rest of the application is disabled as if the window was open, but it doesn't appear anywhere. I've reset the workspace, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstaled, and created a new project, imported audio to a slide and still see no Edit window.

Also, I've downloaded a trial version of Captivate on a different computer and the same project file plays fine and I get the Edit Audio window and Closed Captions. But even with an uninstall and new download of Captivate on the old computer these are invisible in *all* projects on that computer. All settings at default. What local settings could be doing this on that computer? Other Captivate pop-up windows work fine.

Premiere Pro CC crashes when editing audio- any solutions?

Adobe Premiere Pro CC crashes nearly every time I try to edit audio, keyframe it in certain spots, etc, etc, with the error message that there has been an "unexpected problem" and the program must "force quit." Sometimes my work is saved, sometimes it isn't. And then I have to re-name my saved file, so I often end up with upwards of 15 different project files because I cannot edit audio without this program crashing. I see I'm not the only one--what is Adobe doing to fix this bug-riddled program? It's impossible to get anything done!
I'm using this program on a MAC, 6-Core Intel Xeon Processor. MAC OS X Lion 10.7.5.
I'm ready to lose my mind.

I am having a very similar experience.....I have been working in Adobe Premiere Pro for well over 8 years and have always had issues with crashes when working with audio files, keyframing, transition placement, trimming and so on. I have had nightmares with some projects that I am having crashes every change I do and it seems once you get an issue with a project it only gets worst. I have worked on a number of different systems in regards to hardware and get the same issues, OS has been Windows 7 64bit for number of years. I would have expected Adobe to have been able to smooth this out by now but it just keeps rearing its ugly head when I`m on a deadline crunch.
I try to never work with Mp3s and always request wav but it doesn't seem to matter in the long run.
Just wanted to let you know you are not the only one and I am having a serous issue with this problem once again!
Please help Adobe....audio is an issue with Premiere Pro for a lot of us....thanks!
