Export audio for post

Is there an easier way to send audio to a post house WITHOUT all the levels and adjustments? In FCP7, I'd export OMFs with handles, etc...
I am good about naming all the audio rolls in FCPX but I adjust the levels and all that while working with clients, then it's a big pain to go through and remove it all just to export the original audio (especially if I need to go back to the edit). An audio post loves handles and I have to manually add them .. I have X to 7 but it's just a pain to go through all that work.
I WISH FCPX COULD EXPORT AUDIO AND IGNORE THE LEVEL AND ADJUSTMENTS so my audio guys would get the original audio (with handles),,,
thanks

You can search the entire web for tricks on how to make this easier or more complex. But it looks like you must select all the clips by role and then use the RESET PAN and RESET Volume buttons to remove your key framing before you share the stems. Handles? Sorry, doesn't look it's possible from the timeline.
There's a feedback thingy in FCP. Be sure to offer your suggestion.
And hope someone else will have a better suggestion.

Exporting audio for transcription

Hi.
Has anyone using FCP ever exported audio for a transcription service using only the program's audio on one channel and timecode on the other? Can this be done with the AVI or WAV format. MP3 audio would be ideal but it's not an export option from FCP. Is a plug-in or another program needed for this?

I Googled "LTC out from final cut pro". There are some expensive add on boxes that might do this, but it does not seem to be possible within the FCP toolset.
Might I ask why you need this? Maybe folks here can come up with some kind of workaround solution.
I have made Umatics in the past with LTC on an audio track for dubbing studios, but that was way back in the 80s. Thought I had seen the last of it.
What about a viz TC on a very small QuickTime video - is that a possibility?

Exporting audio for an iPad App

I edited an MP3 audio file for a friend - it's narration of a book, about 4.5 minutes. I need to export it for an ipad app he's creating and want it as small as possible but still have the audio quality be good.
Any recommendations for settings? Thanks.

create an .M4a file. change the extension to M4b. That's the audiobook format. The ios device will recognize it as a book. In iTunes (and elsewhere), do a get info for the file and add a book cover, or other artwork, and update the data fields. Make sure that it's set to remember where the listener leaves off.

Trying to export audio for editing in Logic...

I'm having an issue properly exporting audio from some video I shot... I was able to export the audio as an AIFF file, but when I import it into Logic (to enhance the audio), it plays back at a different pitch and tempo (although when I open the exported file in Quicktime player it works fine...)
Maybe it's an issue with Logic? Or should I change some setting for exporting the audio as an AIFF file?

yes it is possible to do this, but it is a bit complicated. Under the share menu choose export media. In the dialog that appears you can choose audio only. There are options for AAC, AIFF etc. The problem is that it will export all of the audio from your project so if you want only audio from a particular clip to be exported you need to create a new project and then copy/paste the clip into the new project. You can then export that audio as described above. An alternative is to create a new empty compound clip in the browser and open it in a timeline and copy/paste your clip into it. You can then export audio only as above. Once you have edited the audio, import it into FCPX and add as attached clip to the original clip. You can either drag the volume of the original audio down so it is not audible or detach the original audio and delete it. Not as simple as in previous versions of FCP but do-able.

Export audio for itunes other than aiff?

I'm exporting some audio, dv based and ultimately want it in itunes (v7) both as an apple lossless and as an aac. I can export from fcp using quicktime conversion to both apple lossless and aac, audio only, .movs. For some reason I cannot get itunes to open or play these files.
The only thing Itunes seems to like is if I export audio to aiff. Then itunes will play it (and of course I can convert it from there).
Two questions... How do I get itunes to recognize these files. They are in a format it shoud recognize, no?
If I can't, is there a quality loss by going up to aiff and then back down to apple lossless or aac?
thanks

AIFF is lossless, so no quality loss by going out that way.

Need to export audio for individual slides from slideshow recording

I have a Captivate project that was recorded using full motion video whilst navigating through a PowerPoint slideshow. Some of the slides have now been updated, and I need to break up the original recording and extract audio for each individual slide. This will also make incremental updates easier for me going forward.
Is there any way to do this using Captivate?
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
Ron.

Hi Ron.
Do you know that each clip you record during captivate is saved as an individual Wav file?
If you go do the Audio Menu, and then Audio Management you can see which wav file is attached to which slide.
Are you using captivate 5?
If you are, then the next step is to click on the speaker icon for the slides on the left side of the screen, and you can edit the audio track as needed or cut out the parts as needed....
If this is what your doing I can explain it better, just not sure if this is what your after.

Exporting audio for editing in Peak

Someone mentioned to me at some point that there is a way to edit audio from another program directly from logic. Meaning I don't have to export the audio- edit - save, and then bring it back into logic.
****, I'm not saying this right. Basically I want to edit a file that is in my audio bin without taking the file out of Logic.
Anyone know what I am talking about?
Thanks.

You can define an external Audio editor in the Preferences (Prefs->Audio-Sample editor->external sample editor->define a path/application). It is set to Soundtrack Pro by default but you can change it to Bias I'm sure. Then just assign a keycommand like "shift+w" to open a file in the external editor. Select the Audio file in the Arrange->hit shift+w->and voila it will open in Bias.

AS2, how to export audio after frame 1

I searched the forum and only find AS3 solutions. Does anyone know a way to export audio for actionscript after frame 1? I unchecked the "Export on Frame 1", and what that did was to skip exporting my audio all together. "Export for Actionscript" is still checked, but I don't know how to tell it when, I guess, is the problem.
I saw one thread that said to put the audio on the timeline, so I tried it, and although the volume slider still to worked with that metthod, but the mute button, which uses the Sound.start() and Sound.stop() commands, stopped working.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Oh, goodness, that's too easy Thank you, kglad! I ended up creating a "container" movie that has the preloader in it and call the main movie from there, and that seems to work, too, but your solution is much better!

Exporting video for iPod - audio OK but video is "white"

I know this issue has been raised before but I cannot find a clear resolution anywhere - happy to be pointed to the right place.
Some time ago I converted some old VHS home movies to DVD and they play fine. To view them via AppleTV I've converted them to MP4 using H.264/AAC via MEGUI, and they work fine in iTunes on the PC and on AppleTV.
Once they were in iTunes I tried converting them for iPod but the output is a blank white video screen though the audio is fine.
To diagnose the problem I tried loading the MP4 version directly into Quicktime (Version 7.6.8)where the play fine. Then I tried exporting them for iPod and I get the same white screen plus audio.
I've seen this issue dismissed as due to some form of DRM but I doubt that is the case here. The video is my own, the DVDs I created are not CSS protected and the MP4s are also unprotected.
I've also seen it attributed to a missing codec, but that is unlikely given both iTunes and Quicktime play the videos without a hitch.
Any clues on how to proceed?
John

Last post before I leave things alone for a while.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime and iTunes no longer chews up lots of CPU when trying to convert one particular Quicktime created file.
I've also recreated each file again from the same source, the AVI encoded as DV-PAL with screen res of 720x576. I created a series of test cases to try to pin the problem down and I think the best exposition is the following -
The problem
An MPEG4 file exported from Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV and can be converted for iPod.
An almost identical MPEG4 file created by MEGUI using the x264 encoder, latest build 1649, and all the same settings as Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV but when converted for iPod produces a file with audio but the video is "white". Looking at the file size, less than 2mb, it is pretty obvious that the video stream is simply not there.
Clues
Quicktime Movie Inspector reports the screen resolution of the file it exported as 720x540 while for the MEGUI created file it reports a very odd 787x576. Note that Windows Media Player and YAMB (MP4Box utility) both report this same file as 720x576 which is what I would expect as MEGUI did not resize the video. As an aside, WMP and YAMB also report the Quicktime created file as 720x540 so they agree with Quicktime on that score at least.
Obvious Question
Why does Quicktime report an incorrect screen resolution, and is this contributing to the conversion problem in iTunes?
My understanding is that MPEG4 uses 16x16 macroblocks and so the dimensions of anything to be encoded must be in multiples of 16 and 787 is not a multiple of 16.
Of course, the 787x576 screen resolution could be a red herring.

Exporting audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd

Hi, I'm trying to export audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd.. I changed multiplexing to DVD but is still exporting seperately is there something im missing? thanksa

To add, with Multiplexing set to NONE, check what the Audio format is set to. If "PCM", this is an uncompressed .wav file and will result in export of .m2v video and .wav audio (I think Mac uses .aif) and use "Import as Timeline" in Encore for both clips at once. Encore will automatically transcode the audio to Dolby AC-3, do NOT mess with settings in Encore, defaults are correct. If you have CS6, then in AME audio settings, there is an option for Dolby and you can use that to create the .ac3 audio and then Encore does NOT do any transcoding to audio or video. Note that older versions will also show "Dolby" but that is a free trial of a surround encoder, not the same. You just want the stereo option available in CS6, or use PCM option is fine
Thanks

Export option for highest quality posting to Google video and YouTube

I'm trying to figure out what the best export options are for posting video on Google Video and YouTube. My primary interest is skiing video with quick actions. Here are the 5 options I tried on my iMovie HD 6, the latest and the greatest:
MPEG4, LAN
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2913246368993273712
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL6RHKXydhQ
MPEG4, LAN, High Quality
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1920438333553484589
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0myAYyBx0k
Quicktime, LAN, 320x240, Deinterlace
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2101048758986639008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rExhbmBksVs
Quicktime, LAN
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8289794703671829891
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-nwmyJ-y_g
Quicktime, LAN, Deinterlace
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1116022416411494165
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Wch75hTzs
You can get the whole list on each site with following URL
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=imovie-quality-comparison
http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=C0D08A3D961234E4
Each video has cross reference URL in the description which link to the same video posted on other site.
Currently my choice is "Quicktime, LAN, Deinterlace" on Google Video. Only thing I don't like is doubling of image for fast moving part, which somehow disappears if I reduce the size to 320x200, but then it is too blurry when displayed in full screen.
None is usable on YouTube. They look horrible, but there are much better quality videos on YouTube.
Since there are so many knobs to play around on each option, I'm at loss what to play around with. I did quick things like increasing the size to 720x480 or increasing the frame rate, but surprisingly, none seems to make any difference when filtered through their encoder.
I like to solicit suggestions on what option to try. I'll export the same video with that options, upload it to both sites and we can take a look.

Hi — I also found you via Slashdot. You've gone to a good amount of effort to solve this scientifically.
I'm just here to say: Face it, you need to go past the built-in options. Here's what you need to know:
1. YouTube is 320x240 (or 320 by anything lower, for widescreen). You must scale to that.
2. YouTube is 30fps maximum, so if you already have that, set that. If you have 25 or 24, use that. If you have 50, it looks better with 25 (I've tried).
3. The interlacing choice is purely up to your original video. Does it have 480 lines or 576 lines? And if so, does it have fluid "live camera" motion, unlike film? If your answer is yes to both, then you have interlacing. Since YouTube doesn't do interlacing, you need to remove it.
4. Both YouTube and Google Video have a problem with the (seemingly open, standard) MP4 format. We think it's because of the VLC software they used. Anyway, use a QuickTime MOV file for the wrapping container, so export to QuickTime Movie (not MPEG-4). But use the H.264 codec. It's good.
OK, that's it. It's your pretty complete, simple guide to making good YouTube videos.
Don't forget to use a tripod and external microphones, and lay off using the zoom too much. That's my other advice, for earlier in the process. Now you've learnt everything technical The rest is only down to viral marketing and you can learn all that by example out on YouTube.

I created in iMovie, and extracted audio from one of the clips to use in the title sequence. All is well, export to iDVD and it plays OK, but when I burn the DVD the audio for the titles does not play. Any suggestions?

When exporting a small area using in-out points, why does Premiere render audio for ENTIRE sequence?

I'm trying to export a small section of my timeline using in and out points... but it looks like Premiere wants to render the audio for the entire sequence and not just my in-out points.
I added a bunch of audio effects to the entire sequence so it's taking 10 minutes to render this audio. When I click on the cancel button, Premiere just freezes and I have to force shut it down.
Is it possible for premiere to only render the audio in the in-out points I originally asked for to cut down on export times?
-Pete

Similar problem here but on a Mac. AME is always much slower than directly exporting from Premiere, but if I start to get slow renders a reboot always sorts the issue out.

Best export type for web viewing

I just bought a Eyetv and recoreded me playing halo 2 on my 360. i was wondeirng what the best export for posting something on youtube would be. the choices i have are, quicktime movie, mpeg-4, h.264,divX avi, windows media, AAc audio and apple lossless audio. i was just wondering what the best is to post videos on youtube. i tried one but the quality didnt turn out so well once it was on youtube but before that it was clear. is it just youtubes uploads?

i think it is just youtube decreasing the quality so it will stream quickly ... i always use quicktime movie though ... no particular reason for that though!
