Export EDL with 20 audio tracks

Hi all!
I´ve a sequence with 20 audio tracks (original files / stereo mixes / 5.1) that i have to export to a audio house via EDL.
The EDL limits my track export (total of four).
Any of you guys exported to PTools using XML?
I know that version HD 7.2 is capable of using this files... any experience?
Do you have other way of doing this, via fcp project (?) any tip?
Thank you all!
HBars

Hi Tallguy!
Thank you for your msg...
Yes, that´s my "fight" with the guy from audio house... he say AAF, i say OMF...!
I´ve 1hour 40min sequence and with omf i´ll have to separate all tracks (groups of two!), bah!
And what about XML...?
Thank you!

  • Problems with audio tracks

    Happily pressing on with my first project when problems arose with audio tracks. Suddenly - when I added video clips I got sound on A2 but nothing showing on A1 (and sound only from right hand speaker). Clips are okay as sound is on both sides when played in Viewer and Canvas just can't add them both to timeline. It was okay up until the point I did my first audio fades within a clip (using the 'elastic bands'). Now I can't even insert a clip with both tracks ahead of that point. A1 just won't accept anything.
    Now when I add a clip I only get audio on A3!!!!
    Voiceovers all went onto A6 and are okay but is it normal for them to hide down there?
    I am sure this is finger trouble on my part as I am so new to FCE but can anyone tell me how to recover?
    Thanks,
    Tom.

    Sounds to me like the audio targeting is amiss somewhere.
    In the audio tracks you will notice a1 & A1: meaning audio track 1 and the audio will go to that track when edited. To get stereo, two tracks will be used eg. a2 & A2. Having A1 and A2 is FCEs default setting with a1 & a2 selected. This setting will place stereo audio into these default tracks. If, for example, you want the tracks to be edited to A5 & A6 then you move the a1 to a5 and a2 to A6 (click and drag). This is called track targeting for obvious reasons, untill you change it, all new edited tracks go to tracks 5 & 6.
    Click on a1 twice, did you notice it move and seperate from A1, this is a de-selected state (a gap between a1 & A1). When a clip is edited to A1 in this state it means no audio will be added to that track. Most likely you have an unlinked audio track. I hope this brief bit of info helps you figure out what audio ends up where in the Timeline.
    Regarding recovery, you could try the AutoSave Vault. Go back to a date and time that is before things went wrong and open that project.

  • How to make a dvd with audio track after exporting using media encoder? I have 2 seperate files??

    Hello,
    I need to just burn a video I finished. It's a m2v file and so I have a AC3 audio tack and a video track. I thought I was good to go, but I cannot figure out how to burn the audio and the video to the same disk! This is very annoying as the settings I have to use for export to keep video quality will give me 2 seperate files.
    So, what programs do you use or recommend that allow me to add an audio track? I don't want people to have the option of switching between tracks I just want a normal track like you have when watching a movie, I mean it just plays by default.
    Thanks in adv.

    The caveats that I would issue to others are:
    1.) muxed Assets often work fine, but can cause problems. Properly spec'ed. elemental streams seem to never cause problems.
    2.) Encore will allow one to populate a Timeline with multiple Assets. However, it can get very confused in some cases. One is where an Audio Clip is just an Audio Unit, or two, too long, and one has a tiny gap, between their Videos. Using one Timeline per Sequence will always work, so long as the Assets are properly spec'ed.
    I'm not saying that either of these WILL cause problems. Many do similar with zero issues. However, there is the potential for problems. Just use with care.
    Good luck,

  • Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

    I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
    In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
    My System:
    WinXP Pro SP2
    2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
    Intel PERL mobo
    3GB 400MHz RAM
    NVidia 7800GS video
    I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
    related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
    etc) when using any CS3 app.
    The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
    footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
    Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
    Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
    on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
    Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
    footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
    Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
    with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
    fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.
    footage3.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 112kb/s, 717606 KB
    Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
    with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
    fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
    audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
    each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
    upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
    Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
    was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
    file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
    accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
    By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:
    footage4.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Beta2, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 189kb/s Two mono

    Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
    build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
    "planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
    Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
    which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
    deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
    display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
    was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
    identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
    jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
    doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
    Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
    The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
    Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

  • Problems with audio track when burnt to DVD

    Hi there,
    I'm using CS4, and have created a 30 minute film which I've exported as an H.264 - it's 653MB. When I play this file from my PC, it's perfect. When I burn it to a data DVD, however, the audio track is interrupted every few seconds with blips of silence - like it's stalling. (I've been unable to burn it as a video DVD so far as the various software I've tried rejects the file format.)
    I've burnt it twice on my laptop and once on another desktop with the same results. I urgently need to send the file to a Mac owner - what should I do? Could this be a fault with the file or with the burning software? Perhaps I didn't do something right with the audio track?
    I'll greatly appreciate your help!
    Thank you :-)

    For authoring a DVD-Video, follow Harm's advice and Export to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio.
    For a DVD-Data, you should not have an issue with the H.264, BUT some have had problems if using Apple's H.264. Many users find that the Lead, or MainConcept H.264 has fewer issues.
    Also, do you have a Matrox card? They have been known to cause Audio issues, so you will definitely want to update any Matrox drivers.
    Good luck,

  • H.264 export, randomly missing audio tracks

    Came across a strange issue when exporting a 1080p timeline using the H.264 export option.  The first export had some strange video flickering issue, but the audio was fine.  So I re-exported and switched to CBR instead of 2 pass VBR.  On the 2nd export, the footage looked fine but for some reason tracks 3 and 4 which contained background audio, were not in the exported file, just silence.  The thing that concerns me is the only encoding option I changed was the bitrate, and going from VBR to CBR, everything else stayed the same in the 2 exports.  I have no idea why Premiere would mysteriously drop 2 of my audio tracks.  Has this happened to anyone else?  This problem has happened to me before, both with the flickering and missing audio.  I've tried the usual updating to current version of Premiere, clearing preferences, etc. and still running into this.

    I work in Broadcasting and we use Quicktime HD 1080i h264 with no problems. Plus the file sizes are just amazing (Less than 100mg for a 30 seconds)

  • Quicktime Pro Export Issue (No Audio Track)

    Hello,
    After I purchased and installed the MPEG-2 component into Quicktime Pro 7, all of a sudden when I export from one video file format (.MP4) into another (.MOV), there is no audio track exported into the .mov created.
    I should add that I installed the MPEG-2 component to view a TIVO-to-go recording that I had been able to strip out of the .tivo shell. Once I played the .mpg file though, no audio track played either. Thoughts? Is there a way to uninstall the MPEG-2 component from Quicktime Pro?
    Thanks,

  • Export animation with mp3 track to .mov file...movie sound tinny, hollow with a little reverb. How to fix?

    I'm exporting a 1 minute piece of animation with a great mp3 sound track to a .mov file. The .mov file's sound track is tinny, hollow with some reverb. I've used most high quality quicktime setting and all exports versions were not good. I using FlashCS6 and am on a iMac using OSX 10.9.5. I have also converted the mp3 to a .wav and aiff file and exported both with the animation with the same results. Any help help or workaround to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the info Rob. The sound plays fine in Flash. The export settings are: 16-bit stereo 44.100kHz H264. Could the video H264 compression be the problem? Without the H64 compression the video triples in size. Something I'm trying to avoid. I will give no audio compression a try.

    Maybe I'm not able to do it, but I have a feeling it's just because I have NO clue as to how to go about it.
    I've mae a pdf file using Acrobat XI . I've embedded an audio file. The pdf file works just fine on my PC but when I want to export it the audio doesn't show up. Is this function possible ? If so , how do I go about it ? I'm a NEWB !!
    I thank you in advance for any help !
    Cheers!

    I want to place PDF file or link to it on my FB page, when I do, the embedded audio file doesn't go with it. So I guess I'm not saving it in the right format ? I guess this would be the same if I embedded a video file as well?
    If this can be done , what is the step by step instruction ? I can't see where I can save it in a different format ?

  • Export Quicktime with Audio - timings to advance slides  -does not work

    Mac OS 10.6.1
    iMac 27" 4 GB 1067 MHZ
    Keynote 09 - 5.03
    I opened a .ppt
    I added an windows media file after getting it into GarageBand - so a GarageBand file actually
    I timed the slides - this does not work either as a side remark - you can not just enter seconds there - they disappear - you need to use the arrows
    If I test the slideshow, it runs nice in Keynote.
    If I export it to Quicktime, the sound works, the slides do not advance.
    (I think I had it once working before I moved my files to my new Mac)
    Help please

    I'm just posting this as a general discovery....
    I too have had many many frustrations with creating a slide show with audio clips linked to individual slides and a soundtrack music background. Of course this records fine and plays back fine in KN. The problem lies in any form of sharing/exporting. The audio either disappears or the timing goes nutty.
    What I discovered was....During a manual recording in which I advance the slides and the builds within the slides, the tap of the space bar directly correlates to when the audio would stop in the exported version. ie. Slide one, audio set to start automatically after transistion, text has no builds, Slide 2, audio set to start automatically, text builds with each bullet. In the exported version the second I hit the space bar to create the first build during the recording, is where the audio is cut off in the exported version.
    Therefore, if I go through each and every slide and set the timing for each and every build, transition, etc. , then record the slideshow so that I never have to hit the space bar to create builds (transitions to next slide seems to be fine) my exported recording seems to play back without problems. This is very tedious but seems to work (so far).
    I hope I have explained my findings clearly. I also hope that this is somewhat helpful to the rest of the world

  • Cannot Export MPEG2 with Audio

  • Video track order doesn't correspond with audio track order

    I don't know why or if I've reset something in Premier CS3 but now when I insert a clip into video track 1, the sound of the clip is placed in audio track 3 instead of 1. And if I put another clip in video track 2, its sound is placed in audio track 4, and so on. This is driving me insane so I would appreciate any help to get it back to the default (audio 1 goes with track 1, audio 2 goes with video 2, ect.).

    It still could be the way your tracks are mapped in the original project setting. Premiere will automatically send the audio from the source to an appropriate track type. (BTW - stereo and mono are not different "audio qualities")
    The Header of each track has an icon showing either one or two speakers representing obviously mono or stereo. Check out the audio in the source monitor to see if it is mono or stereo and that will show you where the track will be targeted.

  • Making a CD with audio tracks and a "bonus" video- how to?

    Dear folk,
    I have seen this before (notably a Shaggy album from waaaay back but no longer have access to it to study its "breakdown")- a regular audio CD which functions normally in your CD player etc and then, when placed into a DVD player or onto your computer lets you view the video which is on the same disk.
    I am looking at getting my daughter's EP of original material done but would like to add a video which I am making as well, in this manner.
    Not sure that iTunes IS the right category but I don't use Pro Logic (though I own it and could get someone else to do it, if required)- help please?

    OK, thanks to Roger I had good info to take away and now know that mixed mode CDs would possibly evidence issues as in this process the data file (ie the video) would most likely be the first file on the finished CD which would give you that horrible squealing noise as you play it on a conventional CD player but that "enhanced" CDs will burn them (data video and audio tracks) as separate sessions, ensuring that each appliance only need deal with that which it CAN deal with.
    Toast will do this but, apparently, so will something called Dragonburn: http://dragon-burn.en.softonic.com/mac
    I haven't tested this yet (the audio I need to work with has still to be completed and I have to shoot the video) but hope to report back.
    Hope this helps anyone seeking to do something similar.

  • 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.
