Export Audio to Movie issue. (Movie is late in relation to audio)

I did some music to picture. I'm trying to export just a clip of the full movie. When I play the sequence in Logic, the music is in sync with certain hitpoints matching the movie. I select the section I want to export, then go to the export audio to movie menu. The resulting movie is not in sync with the audio. It seems the movie is a few frames late in relation to the audio. What could I be doing wrong here?

Well the temporary workaround I found right now is to use the sample delay plug-in on the output 1-2 channel. Actually needs 2 instances. The mas setting is around 10000 samples. I think in my situation, the video is around 8 frames late. So I set th combination of plugs to delay the audio by around 12800 samples. Upon exporting, the sync between audio and video is close enough.
This is just a workaround. I hope apple fix it for the sake of users using Logic for score to picture purposes.

Export Audio To Movies issue

Hi folks,
In Logic X, I can't seem to export audio to movie properly. When I click the "Export To Movie" it seems to export a short section from wherever the cursor is, so I tried moving the cursor to the start and no difference.
So, I then used the cycle area to select and export the whole track, which it did - but without the video! When I play back it's just darkness!
I had no such problems in Logic 9 - am I going mad or has anyone got any solutions?
Thanks!
Ben

"Export audio to movie" produces an all-white video or other problematic issue. Help.

The latest Logic X update seems to have broken the "export audio to movie" function. I need to re-import the movie file every time I want to export audio to movie or it results in an all-white video or a video that hangs up on a single frame. Does anyone know a good work-around or fix? I'm generally using video that is compressed in H264. I also need to deliver at that same codec. Not having to convert the original movie to a new format and then convert the version with music back to H264 again would be ideal.

Now Logic's gone racist, jeeze... what next?
Dang Clancy..... Now I have spilt coffee all over the floor!

Export audio to movie issues

Hi there,
I have done a surround audio track for a short movie in Logic x and now that I want to export audio to movie the dilouge that opens does not show the preset popup menue while in the manual it has a creen shot that shows this menue in the same dilougue.
This is from the manual:
Do you know what my problem is?
Thanks,
Marjan

Hi,
Foe what it's worth, the dialog window I get here doesn't look like the one in the manual either.

Logic 10.1.1 exporting audio to movie...

There are two boring troubles:
1. Sometimes after exporting audio to a piece of movie (using locators) I hear my sounds but I see only a white screen!!!!
2. Sometimes after trying to make a short piece from the whole movie (using locators) I got the whole movie in (instead of a short piece) and my sounds start from time-code 00:00:00...
What am I supposed to do with those???
Thank you!

I have the exact same issue. I'm running Mavericks. My friend that has Mountain Lion has no issues.
Although I thought all it was doing was cutting off 4 frames in the front. But it sounds like you're saying it shifts the whole track by 4 frames, which is even worse!
Apple, fix this, please!

Can't export audio to movie

Hi
I am trying to add music to some video footage taken with a digital camera. I was unable to extract the audio from the footage onto my arrange window using import audio from movie. I received a message saying "no active extrac
table audio to be found" (though there is audio in the footage). Then when I exported audio to movie I found that the movie was unchanged, the soundtrack I had created did not play and the original audio remained as well.
Any help would be appreciated.

H,thanks for the advice, I'll try it out tonight. Yeah I bought quick time pro especially to work with film in logic. I am soon to start working on a project with a film student friend of mine. I was literally tearing my hair out for two days figuring I had done something wrong and it turns out that this problem seems to be part of an apple conspiracy to hush up this flaw. That and the fact apple seem barely contactable when there is an issue with one of their problems only adds to the frustration. I expected more I have to say.

An old "export audio to movie" bug returns in 9.02?

Hey
Maybe it's just me, but I could've sworn they'd fixed this one...
I remember for a while when you'd use the "export audio to movie" feature, the sound would sometimes be about half a second late. Then that was apparently fixed... But now it's back again in 9.02
My previous work around was to bounce the audio mix, then drag it back into the timeline as a stereo .aif file. I'd solo that track, make sure PDC is set to "ALL" then use 'Export Audio to Movie'.
And - before you ask - no, there were no latency inducing plugs on the master output bus. No limiters, gates, in fact no plugs at all on this particular project.
No matter what I did, the Quicktime bounce was always out of sync. When I just 'play' the project, the 2-pop from my audio and the video cue beep/flash frame line up perfectly. Everything plays back fine. But when I use "Export Audio to Movie", my Logic soundtrack is about half a second late throughout.
Anyone else notice this? Any suggested fixes?
I know some people are having a great time with L9, but I'm sorry to say I'm solidly in the "sorry I upgraded" camp.
I'm starting to appreciate L8 more every day...

You can work around this problem in QT without having to deal with Logic at all, provided your film has a timecode burn. Open the movie in QT. Trim it down if necessary. Assuming your 2-pop is what your cue starts off with (with no dead audio before it), open your 2-mix in QT, select ALL, CMD-C copy. Now your mix is in the clipboard. Back to the movie window, set the playhead of the movie so that you're seeing the desired start frame. Use CMDOPTV to place the music into the movie. Trim the movie as needed. Export.
If you want to save the movie, be sure to save it under a new name. Saving as a proxy (reference) will save disk space.
Good tip - thanks. Unfortunately, this film doesn't have a time code burn. And while I've used the method above in the past, I always find it a little finicky to make exact trims in QT because you don't have the fine frame-by-frame control sometimes... I think.
But the thing is, I exported audio to movies with perfect sync all summer long in L8. I did about 60 cues for one client this summer, all with quicktimes, and not a single problem.
Now, since "upgrading" to 9, I can't get the audio to export with the same sync it has on playback no matter what I do. Sure seems like a bug to me....
I'm going to try some more experiments today if I get time. I want to see if changing buffer sizes or PDC settings has any effect....
Hm.

Export audio to movie - not compatible mp4 !

Hi, I thought Logic X would solve compatibility issues with movie files but I can't "Export Audio to movie" with this format:
AVC Coding, 1280 x 720
AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
Logic X seems to do it but spits out files about 21KB small.
Anyone noticed this and knows a solution that does not mean converting the mp4 into a different format? This is terrible, I work with different quicktime files every day..
Thanks folks,
Malte

Hi Anton
This is a known bug in Logic on the intel macs. We're all hoping this will be fixed in the next version!
There are a few workarounds...
bounce the audio for your movie. Open it in Quicktime pro. Open the movie in QT pro and you can join the movie and audio with a bit of trial and error.
Easier perhaps, is to use imovie to import the movie and audio separately and then export the movie from there. That's what i normally do.
As i said, it's a workaround - but it's better than nothing!
Hope that helps

Export Audio to movie broken in LPX 10.0.7

Hi there,
The other issue I am having is with Export Audio to Movie.
I'm having a very weird issue where, after uploading my movie to Dropbox for example, the music that I've exported cannot be heard whilst accessing the movie online i.e. streaming. The originally embedded dialogue audio can still however be heard.
My clients have to physically download the movie in order to hear the exported music.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

You say that the exported music track cannot be heard when listening from the DropBox. Does that mean the exported movie file plays back fine (with the exported audio tracks) when you play it locally on your computer.
Open the Movie file you are exported with QuickTime Player and hit command+I. Check the audio format. If it is stereo (the mix of the original dialog and the bounced track from Logic), then there is only one stereo track and now way for DropBox to separate both Tracks.
Maybe your client are listening to wrong movie file. Check the correct file names
Hope that helps

Put silent audio in exported QT ref movie

I have a number of sequences that has no audio.
These sequences should be put on DVD, and I've understood that you need to have audio in your DVD Tracks, even if it's silent.
Now, what's the easiest way to achieve this?
Put audio slug on all sequences and then export as QT ref move, for later compression?
Or, can I somehow tell FCP to capture the audio, without actually capturing it? (The latter would be most convenient, then I don't have to create ref movies, but can use the footage file directly in my compression software).

Where do you get that idea? Never heard of such a thing...

Uh...what are you trying to do? you are talking about completely different things here...capturing and exporting for DVD.

I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it.

Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

Export Audio to Movie - where is that function in Logic 9?

I have noticed that a very useful function in my Logic Pro 8 (version 8.0.2) options/movie/export audio to movie is not found in the Logic 9 version. One of my friends has this version (and an Intel Mac) but I cannot help him working with music and video - I cannot find it anywhere in the Logic 9 menus. Can you help?
Best, Peter Danstrup

I just opened a quicktime movie. Added an audio track, and am looking for the option indicated in the manual: "Choose File > Export Audio to Movie". Upstream it's indicated that this option only appears if a movie is present. My movie is present, but still this option does not appear?
Ideas?

Exporting Audio to Movie, doesn;t export the audio

When I try Option>Movie>Export Audio to movie It rendereds but doesn't actully put the music into the video. Worked in 7.1 doesn;t work in 7.2.1 any plans on fixing this?

Indeed, thats what I do, but the time saving and
simiplicity of the 'Export audio to movie..."
function puts it at the top of the 'features that
really should work' for us composers to picture!
Hopefully it will be fixed soon with an update.
It's not broken. To be sure I went and tried it myself
and it worked fine. I did not even have to set the
locators, which I thought I would have to. I just dropped
the movie on a project and went to the menu. It did bring
up some dialog box I had not seen before. Something about
adding the tracks to use. It only showed track 1 but since I
could not figure out how to add the tracks I just hit OK and
it rendered all of them. Hope you get yours back up.

I am using FC Express HD, and for some reason, when I export a Quicktime movie, the final movie will only play audio, and the video is black. I only get the actual video if I export as self contained, or if I exportusing quicktime conversion. Why?

Logic 9 "Export Audio to Movie" command

What happened to the "Export Audio to Movie" command that used to be under the file menu? This is something I sorely need back.Trying to import audio into Motion 5 is not working out well - even with rendering set at the lowest settings (same with FCP10). I like to be able to see my results as I'm working, not watch choppy playback and guess where to drop in the audio. I'm running an 8 core Mac Pro with 32 G of RAM and I'm wondering if anyone has used a good work around for this problem. I wish I never updated.

I just used Quicktime Player to open the movie and dragged a bounced down version of my Logic audio on top of it. I "Saved As" and it worked fine!
