Export to Quicktime with multiple Audio Tracks?

Hi all --
I am on a tight deadline (48 hrs!) to deliver a Quicktime Prores file with 6 audio tracks: ch 1+2 dialog, ch 2+3 music&effects, ch 4+5 stereo mix. I'm working with FCP 6.
Now, I have figured out how to export the FCP 6 project to a Quicktime file with multiple audio tracks (in the Project settings, I specify 3 stereo channels, then I assign each audio track to one of the channels and export everything to a Quicktime file).
However, how can I send a stereo mix to channels 4+5?? FCP only allows me to assign each audio track one but not multiple output channels, and I didn't see a way where I could create a bus.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Something is being miscounted here. You say you have dialog on 1+2 and then say you have M&E on 2+3? I think you meant to say 3+4 and the stereo mix will be on 5+6. The easiest way to do this is to copy tracks 1-4 to tracks 5-8 by shift-option-dragging them there. Holding option will copy the tracks instead of moving them and holding shift will insure that the tracks will not move earlier or later. Then send 5+6 (dialog) to the 5+6 output (using the info in the above referenced discussion) and send 7+8 (music&effects) also to the 5+6 output. Done.

  • Can you export a Quicktime with multiple audio tracks?

    I have a video with split audio tracks.
    I'd like to archive a copy that retains all the individual tracks so that other people could just open the file later and not have to reconstruct the tracks (i could certainly archive all the tracks individually).
    the problem i'm having is that FCP seems to only want to allow me to export 2 tracks of audio. I may be missing a setting, but i'm not sure.
    I can digitize a clip from a digibeta with 4+ tracks, and when i open the clip in QT, it recognizes the individual tracks, so it seems as if the capabilities are there.
    have they just not been integrated yet?

  • Exporting QT file with multiple audio tracks

    I'm trying to create a digibeta tape of my movie. The company who does it wanted a QuickTime file with the movie where there were 2 audio tracks (4 in sterio). One with the music and sound effects and another with narration and interviews. I'm not sure if this is possible or where to set the option for this. Can anyone help?

    Command+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, go to the Audio Outputs tab and change the Outputs to 4 whilst keeping the Grouping as Stereo.
    Back on the timeline, ensure your audio media is on the correct audio track for export, eg, all music on 7&8 , 9&10, VO on 5 and/or 6 , etc etc. Basically, keeping an organised timeline without spreading audio over random tracks really helps.
    Ensure the audio tracks are assigned to the correct channels. To do this, on the timeline you see the 'destination buttons' A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 etc etc... next to each button is a padlock, then you have the Toggle Auto Select icon. Control-click on this icon and you'll see the Audio Outputs setting, which shows which stereo pair that particular track is assigned to. In this case, you'll want to assign Music and Effects to 3&4, whilst keeping narration and interviews on 1&2.

  • Exporting a project with multiple audio tracks changes the loudness level regardless of export format

    I recently had to submit a TVC and discovered that premiere was changing the loudness level after export, when the TVC failed the quality check.
    I checked the audio loudness of other formats that I had exported and the same thing had happened the audio loudness, it had changed.
    After a bit of troubleshooting I found a workaround. I mixdown all of the tracks in adobe audtion to one track and then imported it into premeire.
    Once I did this the audio loudness was not changed after exporting.
    Workflow for when it didn't work.
    I used edit in adobe audtion for the audio tracks from premiere.
    Matched the audio to the loudness level I wanted, and then saved each track.
    Export from premiere.
    To Check Audio Loudness
    Bring in exported file into new premiere project
    Edit the audio in adobe audtion.
    Drag the audio file into match audio to check loudness level.
    I am using
    Adobe Premiere Pro CC v8.1
    Windows 7 on PC
    Please fix this adobe.

    Audio Levels and Loudness are two different things in this regard.

  • Working with multiple audio tracks

    Hello,
    I'm working with video clips that have a stereo audio track (guide audio fed into the camera) synch'ed to 4 mono tracks (recorded from a variety of boom mics and lavaliers).
    Although I've linked all the audio clips to the video, it still gets a bit cumbersome when performing T or L cuts. When I hold down the Option key, I still have to adjust each of the audio track separately.
    Is there a more efficient way to deal with multiple audio tracks? Maybe some way to treat these audio tracks as one unit?
    BTW I'm working in FCP 7.
    Thanks,
    Thien

    One way:
    Lock the video track.
    Use the Edit Selection Tool to Select the audio transition points
    This will automatically open the Trim window, where you can move the cut point - in this case I am moving the audio cut(s) 30 frames later than the video cut:
    which gives me the displacement of all the tracks that I wanted:
    You can use this quite quickly once you get used to it.

  • Any way to export QuickTime w/ multiple audio tracks?

    I remember seeing QuickTime movies where on playback you can select which audio tracks to listen to. Kind of like director's commentary or different language versions for the same video stream...
    Is there a how-to guide for making a movie like this in FCP? We have one video file and multiple audio files that we've placed in different tracks in the timeline but when we export to a QuickTime movie they get all merged together. We tried setting it up with multiple audio channels and then control-clicking to get that menu with each audio track and putting them into the different channels, but there must be something we're missing...
    Is this something only FCP 6 can do? I think we have version 5.
    thanks!

    I'm a little rusty on this - and without access to FCP 5 at the immediate moment - but I think the key is to set your sequence to have multiple (as in more than 2) audio outputs, then select Channel-Grouped for audio during the Export via QT Conversion.
    If that doesn't work, you could always paste additional audio tracks onto your movie in QT Pro. After all, you'll need to tweak your language settings for audio track in QT Pro.
    But where have you seen this implemented to do a Director's commentary-type option? I've read that multiple (discrete) audio tracks work only if they're tagged as different languages and the user's playback system is setup for one of those languages. (But I've been wrong before...)
    And welcome to the forums.

  • Creating Video with Multiple Audio Tracks?

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this question but I figured its compression/video codec related so someone might have an idea...
    I've used Handbrake in the past to rip a DVD with an audio commentary that allowed for multiple audio tracks that could be played back in iTunes/Quicktime (though not on the iPod Classic for some reason... perhaps someone knows the answer to this?)
    I was just curious as to whether or not this was possible to do WITHOUT first making a DVD with an 2ndary track? I was hoping to record audio commentary for one of my shorts, and put it up on the web, but wanted to avoid the step of going to dvd first then ripping it.
    is this achievable in compressor? do I need to use a third party app? thanks so much.

    is there any app (be it from apple or a 3rd party tool) that will allow me to add a secondary audio track for switching in quicktime/iTunes? if so could you point me in the direction of it (or even instructions)
    I'm afraid I'm unaware of anything - outside of HandBrake - that does encode a second track of audio. But I haven't exactly had my eyes open since I haven't needed to do this for a client yet.
    handbrake mentinos that its able to rip secondary audio for use with iPod Classic/Apple TV... however so far it hasn't worked for me. Does this mean that while handbrake is doing it properly its just my iPod itself that's having the troubles (like I said that alt. audio is there in iTunes/Quicktime just not on the iPod itself)
    I am pretty sure that the issue is that the software for iPod Classics - as is the case with AppleTV and, even, QT Player - which won't allow you to switch over to the other track. But I haven't had to work with the Classic in a while, perhaps there is a setting in Audio (or Video) that gives you the pop-up option you're seeking?

  • Video with Multiple Audio Tracks-- IOS 4.2 Removes Way to Select Them

    After upgrading to IOS 4.2 on my iPhone 4, I've found it no longer lets me select from among multiple audio tracks. The option and button is completely gone.
    I encode my videos with AC3 audio as the first track (for my home media devices), and stereo audio as the second track (for the iPhone). Now the iPhone will just play the video, with no audio, and no way to select another track. This is extremely frustrating as I've encoded all my DVDs this way, and never had any issue with playback like this on any IOS device going back to the first gen iPod Touch.
    Anyone else have this issue, and know of a work around? Thanks!

    I too have the exact same problem for the exact same reason. Did you ever figure out a workaround (other than reencoding all your videos)?

  • Issues with multiple audio tracks

    Hello everyone. I need some help with my DVD Reel. … Please
    I have a DVDSP project that I’ve been using and updating for the last year. It contains over 100 small 4-minute clips (Mpeg-2 Video + AC3 Audio) plus a lot of menus and buttons….
    Everything worked nice and perfect… except that I added some surround clips last week (using stories)… so now I have one audio track (A1) with all stereo audio and a second audio track (A2) with my surround audio. Again, no problems until today when I used the same track to add a new clip with stereo audio only (A1)…. And it doesn’t want to playback on DVD Player (but it plays in the simulator)…
    …. Now here is the question. Does the additional (surround) audio track have anything to do with this problem or is there any other reason why the stereo clip didn’t want to play after the surround clip? … or Do I need to create stories for my stereo clips from now on?
    Some more information: I’m using Final Cut Pro and Compressor to crate my media… Intel Mac OS X… DVD Studio Pro Version 4.1.2.
    Thanks for your help

    Got an almost kind of (but not really) similar problem. I have videos with multiple audio (AAC and AC3 passthru) in an m4v file. the AAC is always defaulted with the "enable" tick in the properties box. I've tried almost everything I can think of to enable the AC3 track by default so that frontrow or QT will play it. but everytime I save (even save-as) it defaults back to the AAC stereo.
    Any ideas? is this a "feature" of 7.5.5?

  • No audio on files with multiple audio tracks

    All my files that have multiple audio tracks (e.g. stereo and surround) no longer have audio when I initially start up my Apple TV 2. When I manually change the audio track in the menu (from stereo to surround or vice versa), I get the sound back but I would have to do this with every single file and do this each time I start up my Apple TV. Anyone else notice this problem. This only started happening after the most recent update.

  • Exporting quicktime with 4 audio tracks for broadcast

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to do this? i need to get a program out to a broadcast quicktime file with sync on 1&2 and M&E on 3&4, i have the sequence setup correctly as did a digi playout for the same thing which was fine. However, if i do 'export quicktime' with sequence settings i only get two audio chanels. If i go to quicktime conversion then all the drop down menus for multiple audio chanels are greyed out.
    Any ideas?
    Best,
    GK

    if i do 'export quicktime' with sequence settings i only get two audio chanels
    how are up you assessing this? QT Player has only 2 playback channels and additional channels will be mixed down to those ... but if you press Cmd-J to open the movie properties you should see all 4 channels are there, or if you reimport your exported file back into FCP you'll see it contain the 4 audio tracks as exported ... if not then your export settings are not correct :/

  • Exporting Quicktime with discreet audio tracks

    How in FCP do you export a quicktime file with more than two channels of audio that are discreet?

    Hi -
    For FCP 7:
    Click on your timeline.
    Type Command - 0 (Zero) and click on the Audio Outputs Tab.
    Change the number of outputs you want, and set the track pairs up as stereo or dual mono, as you want.
    Click OK, a warning dialog box will come up that you can dismiss.
    On the timeline, Option-Click on each audio track right below the auto-select toggle icon, and from the drop down menu, route the track to the desired output track.
    When done, export the Quicktime movie.
    The only way you will verify that all the tracks are there is to either open the exported quicktime in Quicktime pro and menu Window > Show Movie Properties. You'll see the additional tracks listed there -OR- just import the exported movie back into FCP and bring it up in the Viewer, you'll see all the audio tracks.
    Make sure you restore your sequence back to two channel ouput, if you want, when you are done.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to export a QT with eight audio tracks

    Hi  All. I want to export a sequence with 8 separate audio tracks (interviews on 1&2, music on 7&8, sound effects and ambient sound on the others) so that the resulting QT has 8 separate and distinct tracks, matching the tracks in FC.
    The goal is for a future editor at the TV station I work at to be able to take the video and ambient audio, but use different music.
    In sequence settings, I've got 'audio output' set to 8, with each grouping checked 'dual Mono'. But when I export, I get a QT with a mixed down stereo pair on channels 1 and 2 (with audio from all the FC tracks), and six empty tracks.

    I have a video tutorial...goes into a bit more detail, including how to make those 8 options happen:

  • .ts-files with multiple audio tracks / Premiere Elements 12

    Hello forum,
    once more I need a little help please.
    I've created successfully a few DVD's, and by now I'm a master in creating my own menue templates , but now I have again some problems.
    I imported a .ts file which I recorded on my Sat Receiver. This file contains a video track and 2 audio tracks:
    1. German 6-channel AC3,
    2. English 2-channel AC3 (I can add a screenshot of the file info's if needed).
    Now my problem is that I only hear some kind of background sound, music and so on, no voices. So not really one of the tracks I mentioned above.
    The file works good when I play them with VLC player, and I'm able to chose the 2 languages there.
    What I don't really understand is, I created several DVD's with exactly the same file type, I mean the file info's are identical except the lenght differs for a few minutes.
    Is there a way to chose the audio track in Premiere Elements like I can chose it in VLC player? Or is there another way to bring the voices in there?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jessie
    My system is a Macbook Pro, 16 GB RAM, 2.5 Ghz, Premiere Elements 12

    Hi ATR,
    yes, that's what I meant. It worked without problems with a lot of files in different projects. I made a few screenshots, maybe they help to get it fixed.
    This is the file that worked fine:
    And this is the one that doesn't work:
    By now I haven't changed anything in the settings as I don't know what I could change.
    The files that worked came out with the german soundtrack, so I assume 5.1 channel.
    I'm really out of ideas now :/

  • Edge Animate, Working with multiple audio tracks

    I'm having trouble with one of my animations.
    I have set up 8 animated symbols that will play when the user hovers over the symbol.
    When the user clicks on a symbol it will play an audio mp3 files.
    // insert code for mouse click here
    // Sets a toggle to play or pause the audio track
    var audio = sym.$("_1")[0];                            "_1" is the name of the audio file that is placed on the timeline.  The original MP3 file is named 1 but when it was dragged to the canvas it created a layer called "_1".
    if (audio.paused) {
      audio.play();
    } else {
      audio.pause();
    But there are two problems, one more concerning than the other.
    The problems are below:
    I can not figure out the code to stop the audio when the symbol is clicked again instead of it being paused.  I tried to change audio.pause to audio.stop.  That did not help.  I would like the audio to stop if clicked again and then play from the beginning if clicked one more time.
    This is the one that I am most concerned about.  If the user clicks on one symbol, the audio for that symbol will start to play as intended.  But if the user clicks on a second symbol, the audio for that symbol will start to play in conjunction with the audio already playing from the previous symbol.  It would be nice if a user could click on one symbol it will start to play its audio but if they change their mind and click on another symbol, the playing audio will stop and the new clicked symbol will start to play its audio.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  Or help to provide.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,
    One quick answer to your question, and another that I will follow up on when I get a few minutes.
    Animate uses the HTML5 audio API to control audio elements, so you can only use methods and properties that are specified for audio elements in HTML5 browsers.
    To "stop" audio, you need to pause it and then set its currentTime property to 0, like so:
    sym.$("your_audio_element")[0].pause();
    sym.$("your_audio_element")[0].currentTime = 0;
    The next time you play this audio element, it will play back from the beginning.
    The other part of your question (stopping other playing audio when another symbol audio starts playing) can be done by getting all instances of the audio tag in jQuery and then pausing all audio. I don't have the exact syntax for that at hand as I reply, but I'll respond back with it soon.
    hth,
    Joe
