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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm having problems exporting files for editing from LR 4.3 into photoshop elements 9.

This problem only occurs with files that I have been imported from cd's/dvd's into the libraryand I get the msg "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file for editing. It will not be opened."
Files that are stored on my hard drive have NO PROBLEM in being edited. .
I am new to Lightroom and currently using it on the 30 day trial I have been using PSE for a long time and have over 90,000 images in Organizer and all of my images are on cd's/dvd's, very few are stored on the hard drive.
Thanks in advance for any feedback and suggestions.
Ken

Do you mean they are still on the CD/DVD and you want to export them directly from CD/DVD?
That's not possible since the CD/DVD is not writeable. You have to move the photos to your hard drive first.

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.

DVD to uncompressed Video/Audio for editing

I NEED TO TAKE A DVD BACK TO UNCOMPRSSED VIDEO AND AUDIO TO EDIT THE AUDIO AND THEN BACK TO A DVD FORMAT WITH CHAPTERS. I NEED TO KEEP IT IN HIGH QUALITY. I HAVE BOTH FINNAL CUT PRO AND EXPRSS. MAYBE QUICKTIME? THANKS BOB

Try this on the Final Cut Pro forum. You can't do uncompressed in FCE. Of course it's already compressed and going through an extra compression cycle will not help. You might be able to cut and paste audio tracks in the QT Pro player. Not sure about chapter markers in the QT player, whether they can be added there. Basically FCE isn't the tool for this.

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!

I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE. Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished. Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

Hello -
I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE. It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished. Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
Thanks.

>I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

2010 iMac 2.93 i7 27" or 2011 2.8 i7 21.5" - which will suit better long-term? I do a fair amount of audio, video editing and photoshop, but I have a limited budget. What's going to give the best bang-for-buck for the next 3-5 yrs?

I do a fair amount of audio, video editing and photoshop, but I have a limited budget. What's going to give the best bang-for-buck for the next 3-5 yrs? My current machine is a 13" Macbook unibody 2.4 Core 2 Duo w/ 4Gb Ram so it's time to move forward with more power and screen real estate!

Hello, Jeff
I could never edit on a 13" screen. I'm currently using a 17" MBP i7 Early 2011 as a fast replacement to my aged 20" Intel iMac.
Both systems are not that far apart on stats and you will find that processing HD video will rely highly on the read/write to your storage. Myself, I'd be eye balling the 2011 for the Thunderbolt port so HD Video export/compression doesn't take forever! Currently processing a finished HD project for DVD uses at most 20% of my total CPU capacity. The FW800 drive is the big bottleneck! (I know I need at least a RAID to see a real speed boost).
How good your eyes are and your usage style would dictate if the difference in screen size make a difference to you.

Did you ever figure out what was going on? i've got the same issue.
I record 2 hour choir practices then edit the talking out to make more useful accompaniments for personal practice. During my editing process my MacBk Pro (0r GarageBand) decides it needs to "Analyzing audio for Flex Time Editing". It will finish doing it and immediately start over again. I can not cancel it so I just have to force quit Garageband and lose eveeryrthing I have editied since my last Save. I've shut my mac totally off and rebooted and to no avail. Any suggestions?
