Export 2 stereo audio tracks?

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio tracks - specifically one stereo pair to be t1&t3, the other stereo pair to be t2&t4. This is the standard way requested by an international distributor of tv programmes. I understand how to set the sequence in FCP to output 4 audio tracks - either 2 stereo pairs (1&2, + 3&4), or 4 discrete tracks. But how do I then output this as a QT file? Compressor has an abundance of QT audio settings, but the choice is confusing. Would any of the 4.0 settings suffice? Or am I likely to get myself into difficulties further down the line?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Tell the distributor that they must be stupid and drunk. I have never heard of anyone using 1-3/2-4 as stereo pairs. It's just plain stupid, and they should fire the technician that came up with such a stupid scheeme.

  • How do I set up stereo audio tracks as default in Premiere using the ProRes 422 codec?

    Forgive me if this has been asked many times before. I have searched but can't find anything that explains it in language that doesn't require an advanced degree in computer engineering.
    I am a recent convert for our beloved FCP 7. I am learning to love Premiere dearly - but the audio part of it drives me nuts.
    I have exported from FCP a series of files as ProRes 422 movies with stereo audio tracks. I want to bring them into Premiere in the same way. But when I do it squashed everything into a single audio file.
    This plays havoc with the panning - especially in mixes that have stereo music mixes. Apart from that it just confuses me.
    Also. when I create a new project from scratch in Premiere and I select the custom ProRes 422 setting it only allows ProRes 422 mono audio. I don't see a codec for anything else (ie. stereo).
    Am I missing something?
    I have looked in all the preferences areas and can't find anywhere to change this. I just want to be able to import simple, basic two track audio (and have it show up the same)  as I would in FCP, ProTools and the myriad other editing programs I use.
    I also want to be able to set up a basic two track stereo timeline/sequence without having to reinvent the wheel.
    Many thanks for any help and your patience. I am slowly tearing my hair out and spending long periods sitting in the corner hugging my knees and weeping.
    My specs. Preferred editing codec: ProRes 422
    Premiere pro version CS6 (6.05)
    Thanks again.

    Go to the Project Panel, select all clips and rightclick/modify/audio channels.
    Set it to 2 tack and mono.
    When you drop the clip onto the timeline the stereo will come in on two tracks.
    You can also set this to default in the Preferences under Audio (before importing the clips) (Stereo set to mono).

  • How can I export an audio track with just the effect signal without the audio?

    I want to export dry audio tracks and their effects signals as separate tracks. For instance a track with a reverbed snare would be one track with the dry snare and one with just the reverb.
    I know from people who use Reason that it's just a box you need to tick, but I'm struggling to find out how to do it in Logic. Surely it must be a way?

    I don't remember Reason being that straight forward, but the obvious way to go, is to mute all sends and bounce.
    Then solo the reverb channel, in aux, checking it isn't shared by other sources, and bounce. You should have a dry and a reverbed signal, at your convenience. 

  • Stereo Audio tracks unlinking themselves ...

    Hi All,
    I'm still using FCP HD 4.5.
    My stereo audio tracks are automatically unlinking from each other and becoming separate mono tracks. I'm not unlinking them, they just suddenly started doing this on their own. I'm having to go back, highlight the two mono tracks, and click option-L to get them back to a stereo pair.
    In some of these cases i have unlinked the audio track from it's video track (APPLE-L), but not in all cases. Either way, i can't figure why this would make a stereo audio track unlink itself into two mono tracks.
    Ideas? (Besides upgrading my version of FCP)
    Paul

    You do not say if this in your timeline. You probably have the link button depressed or undepressed.
    Check that first.

  • How do you export separate audio tracks for Pro Tools?

    I need to give separate audio tracks to my sound mixer but am confused on how to do so in FCP X.
    So far I've:
    Set the dialogue roles and stems for each character
    Then I went into Master File>Settings
    Selected:
    "Format: Audio Only"
    "Audio File Format: Wav File"
    "Roles as: Audio only as separate files"
    "Dialogue"
    Sara
    "Stereo"
    And when I export and listen back to the wav file, there is either no audio or I hear select dialogue.
    The only thing I can think of that I am doing wrong, is that each characters dialogue is not on the same track like the picture below. The tracks highlighted is of one character's dialogue that I am trying to export onto one linear track to export into Pro Tools.
    Can tracks be assigned in FCP X? Or is there a crucial step that I am forgetting tthat explains why the audio for each character is not being exported.
    Thanks!

    If you're dumping audio for ProTools, you should be able to export XML for use in PT. Haven't done it myself, but the option's been there for a while now. You should be able to find instructions easily.
    If you want to stick with making Roles work, I suggest making sure the roles are assigned properly to each clip. Kind of a super pain in the neck, to go one by one, but ... that's the way. There are key commands for the three default roles, but if you've created custom ones then it's more time consuming. Is that 'Sara' one a custom Role that you've created?
    My only thought is you have compound audio clips there. Maybe go in and set the roles on the individual files inside the compound clips. Dunno...
    The visual organization shouldn't matter (one track above another). That's the X way.
    ((In your picture, you say you have some files selected. When I select, I get a yellow border; yours are light green and dark green. What is that?))

  • How to export unmixed audio tracks

    I'm trying to export unmixed master edits so I can easily re-edit at a later date, but whenever I try the result is mixed. I thought there was a simple way to pan tracks for export
    G4 Powerbook; Sony 1500A   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If you're just trying to export each track to it's
    own individual file, here's how to do it:
    Go to your Sequence Settings>Audio Outputs
    Set the Audio Outputs to the same number as you have
    audio tracks (8 tracks, 8 outputs).
    Set them to Dual Mono (not stereo).
    Save settings, go back to your sequence.
    Control Click in the track target area of each
    individual audio track. The top item in the
    contextual menu is Audio Output. Set each track to
    it's own output.
    File>Export>Audio to AIFF
    Select Channel Grouped
    Now you'll get an AIFF for each track in your
    sequence.
    Thanks. Is there a way to export a audio/video Quicktime with mono tracks 1 & 2?

  • Exporting mono audio tracks as mono audio tracks with video tracks

    hello,
    i'm working with dv pal 48 khz digitized files.  when i import the files into fcp7, i have a video track and 4 different mono audio tracks.  my plan is to modify each individual mono track, after exporting each as aif, editing them, and then importing them back as aif.  the problem is that when i've built a sequence with 1 video track and 4 different mono audio tracks, there doesn't seem to be a way to end up with 4 different mono audio tracks like the original, it appears that the only option is to end up with 2 stereo tracks.  can someone help me with this, which i'm sure is a very odd problem?
    kind regards,
    charlie

    If you are editing the audio with Soundtrack Pro you can use the "send to" command. It will send your project as a multi-track file so that each track can be editited independently or you can add elements to all four.
    If you have Logic, add it to the "external audio editors" list and you can use it in the same way as STP.

  • Exporting multiple audio tracks with XDCAM

    Hi folks,
    I have Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 on PC and I'm trying to export a 2K TV show which has six audio tracks (4 stereo & 2 mono), which hold full mix minus narration, dialogue etc.
    I'm exporting from PP as an XDCAM (50) within an MXF wrapper, and the export appears to run ok. However the post house who are receiving the file, (within FCP) say that the first four tracks are all the same and the last two (mono) tracks are mute. This has been verified on two separate computers (Macs).
    I spoke with Adobe Support, but they couldn't add anything, I'm wondering if anyone else has sen this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Ken

    I don't believe you can export mixed channel types.  You can choose mono, stereo or 5.1, but not any kind of combination.  So the export might not be exactly what you think it is.
    The newest update about to come out should add some of this functionality.

  • Exporting Single Audio Track with Panning

    Hi all,
    Is there a way of exporting a single audio track with all the panning included?
    All the FX seems to have been exported onto the track and it is also definatly stereo, its just there is no panning even though I have drawn the panning out in the automation!
    Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Either use Solo and bounce or use a gain plug. Export is prefader.

  • Exporting merged audio tracks to audition problem

    Hello,
    I recently started to work with the Adobe suit so i am not yet used to the workflow. We are serval people working on the post production of a short movie filmed with a red SCARLET in raw which means that the files are pretty big. The audio where captured in serval tracks who all have been merged with the video clips. The clips have thereafter been cut and placed in its right place. So now it is my job to work with the sound design. I have tryd to export the audio in both AAF and OMF and every time i open it up in Audition it sais that the media is offline. On my computer all i have is the orgininal Audio files. Is there anyway to get only the audio (all the tracks) to Audition, without having them searching for the merged files. For example creating new Audio from the cutted tracks?

    Have you tried this?

  • Export from audio track to burn a CD

    Hello everyone
    I am trying to export only audio from sequence, so i can burn a music CD
    I exported audio to aiff option
    then took the aiff file and burned, but its not playing on cd player
    i chose the export aiff- mix , still did not play
    can anyone help
    thanks
    Danny

    is the sample rate 44.1 (not 48k)
    can you open the track in itunes? (from the CD) then the tracks OK but burned wrong.
    did you burn an audio CD? (as opposed to a data CD).
    Many boom boxes work best with the type of CD labeled "Audio" (as opposed to the type of cd you burn data or audio).
    maybe post in a different forum?

  • 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.

  • Stereo audio tracks missing - have mono track only

    After recently downloading DV footage, I find that there is only a "mono" channel shown on the timeline. Several subsequent "test" takes and downloads continue to produce only the mono channel. Imported "aiff" files appear in timeline with stereo tracks, but material from my DV camera continues to only contain a single mono track. (All settings on camera have been checked and re-checked and appear OK)
    Is there some setting in FCE HD that needs to be re-set? If so, where is it??
    Any input/advice will be appreciated.

    "Mayday, Mayday" ! I've had my camcorder bench-checked for the stereo audio signals (it's operating fine), replaced the firewire cable between the camcorder and the iMac, and reloaded FCE HD. Test clips still show only a "mono" channel for audio - no stereo audio. Test clips made with a different camcorder produced the same results (mono channel only)
    After downloading yet another test clip, the FCE HD software responds with the following message:
    "The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape"
    Is this why I am only seeing one (mono) audio channel ? Can anyone tell me what this means and how I should fix it ?
