Exporting multiple audio tracks out of my multicam sequence

Here is the deal:
I created a multicam clip- 4 video angles, 6 audio tracks.
I have created a new project, dragged the multicam clip in there and done my editing.
Now I want to export the 6 edited audiotracks for final mix for my sound engeneer, but when I go back to the multicam clip, it´s just the original tracks, not the edited ones.
I tried to create roles in the project, but no luck.
I´m lost...!!!!!
Please give a helping hand
Thanks!

Exporting multiple audio tracks with XDCAM

Hi folks,
I have Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 on PC and I'm trying to export a 2K TV show which has six audio tracks (4 stereo & 2 mono), which hold full mix minus narration, dialogue etc.
I'm exporting from PP as an XDCAM (50) within an MXF wrapper, and the export appears to run ok. However the post house who are receiving the file, (within FCP) say that the first four tracks are all the same and the last two (mono) tracks are mute. This has been verified on two separate computers (Macs).
I spoke with Adobe Support, but they couldn't add anything, I'm wondering if anyone else has sen this issue?
Thanks in advance
Ken

I don't believe you can export mixed channel types. You can choose mono, stereo or 5.1, but not any kind of combination. So the export might not be exactly what you think it is.
The newest update about to come out should add some of this functionality.

Is it possible to retain multiple audio tracks when exporting?

While ripping my DVD collection, I've wanted to add a purchased RiffTrax (see www.riftrax.com) to the movie as another audio track. I've been successful, but it took the following steps:
1. Encode the movie using Handbrake, open the resulting m4v file in Quicktime Pro
2. Also in Quicktime Pro, open the Rifftrax aac file I created and add it as another audio track in the m4v
3. Save the m4v as a Quicktime mov file
4. Use Handbrake again to encode the mov file into an m4v file, including my added audio track
The reason I have to do step 4 is because if I were to export an m4v file directly from Quicktime Pro, it would compress all of the audio tracks into a single audio track. It would save a lot of time if Quicktime could export multiple audio tracks, at least when exporting to formats that can handle them. Does anyone know if this is possible?
BTW, if anyone wants more details into how I create the RiffTrax aac, just ask.

I've answered my own question, it was a lot easier than I thought. After the first encoding by Handbrake, there's really no difference between calling it a mov file or m4v file. I can change the file extension at will and there's no need to do an export that mashes the audio tracks. It's only AppleTV that needs to see the m4v file extension, Quicktime and iTunes doesn't seem to care one way or the other.
Thanks for letting me think out loud.

Exporting multiple audio channels Final Cut 6

Does anyone know how to export multiple audio channels out of Final Cut Pro 6 from one quicktime export?

You want a multichannel QT, or AIFF files of the individual channels with one step?

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.

Exporting a single track out of a multitrack project

I am very new to soundtrack pro. I have used protools in the past, but nota whole lot. Im working on this project where I have multiple audio tracks that I am editing dead space out of. I brought them into STP and did all my editing. When I go to export the project it runs the length of the longest track no matter what I do. Is there a way to simply select track 1 and export that file only. At the moment I am just copying the edited track to a new project and exporting it that way, but I assume there is a much easy way.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I think the OP has tracks of different lengths, and doesn't want silence at the end (?) of the individual tracks he is exporting.
You could, however, do one of the methods above, and at the end of the last clip on the track to export, select *Set End of Project* from the Mark menu. I think that will end the clip at that point, no matter what comes after.
Hope this helps!

How do I import multiple audio tracks?

Hi there...
I have a number of video files that have multiple audio tracks in them. The problem is I can not work out how to get prem to see multiple audio tracks. The files import fine and I have also tried various other formates with multi-track audio.. but only audio "stream 1" is visible in prem.
What I was hoping is that the video would come in with a 2 audio tracks instead of 1 each in its own "lane".. so I can then use the mixer and the audio files are linked to the video file and in perfect sync.. (just like when you import with 1 track)
NOTE: I am not talking about channels.. but complete 2 completely different audio tracks.. and I know that I could extract these audio streams into wavs and then re-sync them but this seams overkill and a duplication of effort... surly there is a way to have prem support more than 1 audio track on a video file?
--Me

Well, if PP doesn't bring them in, then best guess is they just don't exist.
There's really no trick or user adjustment for this that I'm aware of. You import the file, PP sees what's in it. I've never observed or read about any other behavior than that.

How can I export an audio track with just the effect signal without the audio?

I want to export dry audio tracks and their effects signals as separate tracks. For instance a track with a reverbed snare would be one track with the dry snare and one with just the reverb.
I know from people who use Reason that it's just a box you need to tick, but I'm struggling to find out how to do it in Logic. Surely it must be a way?

I don't remember Reason being that straight forward, but the obvious way to go, is to mute all sends and bounce.
Then solo the reverb channel, in aux, checking it isn't shared by other sources, and bounce. You should have a dry and a reverbed signal, at your convenience.

How to play multiple audio tracks simultaneously?

Hi there,
I am having problem with playing multiple audio tracks. I want to play 2 or more audio tracks at exact time (without delay) - is it possible? how can it be done?

So, essentially, you're trying to take a recording of say, a singer and a guitar player, and end up with the singer in one file and the guitar in the other. Got it.
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/Merge.html]
That sample will merge multiple input files into a single file. Because you want to play the files together rather than save them, just take the sample and strip out all of the DataSink stuff, and add the following line right after the Processor "outputProcessor" is realized...
outputProcessor.setContentDescriptor(null);
So, it'll make the following revision to the code:
     // Create the output processor
     ProcessorModel outputPM = new MyPMOut(merger);
     try {
         outputProcessor = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(outputPM);
                    outputProcessor.setContentDescriptor(null);
         outputDataSource = outputProcessor.getDataOutput();
     } catch (Exception exc) {
         System.err.println("Failed to create output processor: " + exc);
         System.exit(-1);
     }That'll make the outputProcessor play the file, as if it was a Player object. You won't have any visual controls, but if you need visual controls, then don't do that, and just create a Player object to play the outputDataSource.

Question about multiple audio tracks

Hello,
I see that imovie has only 2 audio tracks available when creating a movie. I need more than two since I will be working with a voiceover track, a soundtrack and at least one background/environment track all at one time. I won't be able to use the sound recorded with the video so that "track" is not an option.
My question is; Am I out of luck here and need to spend the 1K for studio pro to add more multiple audio tracks?
Also, I tried working with garageband but since all of my audio tracks import in at a minimum of 40 beats per minute, the voiceovers are all sped up and sound chipmunky.
Thanks for any help!

Well I didn't mean to irritate you...LOL And yes, I realize that this is the iM 6 forum but the gist of my question was related to multiple audio tracks in iM and thought I would ask about it in the forum pertaining to the latest release.
I had already posted a question in the GB forum regarding the bpm problem and found no answers so I was pretty much about to shelve that idea and forgo the whole garageband thing; this without knowing about the new "swap" features. I just updated to iM 6 yesterday.
As far as the "on-tape" raw audios: I was working on my movie in iM4. I wanted to add more audio bits but I don't have a proper mic for my G5 so I recorded the audio bits on dv8 tape through my camcorder. I imported the video (the image was the inside of my lens cap!), extracted the audio, took those audio files and imported them into GarageBand. That's when I noticed the bpm problem.
I'm sorry about the lack of info I originally gave but like I said, I had pretty much gave up on the idea of using GarageBand. I'm pretty new at this and I'm trying to decide what I need in terms of software to get what I want out of my movie. I'd be willing to pay for FCxp but still looking into whether I need to do just that or whether I can get by by using imovie and now it looks like GarageBand too.
ah, thanks for that
what irritates me, Prince wrote:
The audio tracks were voiceovers that came from my
dv8tape, imported into imovie4.
... ehm, but this is the iM 6(six) section, as said,
iM 6 allows now "swapping" files with GB3... (I'm way
back in the 90ies.... see my specs... )
so, video is in some iM, and he wants to use the
actual "on-tape" raw audios...
I thnik we need a little more detail...

Quicktime Video Conversion Not Preserving Multiple Audio Tracks

Hi All,
I'm trying to convert a H.264 video file to a ProRes MOV using quicktime pro 7.
This is a video file that was created using Handbrake.
In Handbrake I am able to rip several audio tracks from a VOB. In this case I need to rip both the 5.1 audio and 2.0 audio. Instead of splitting this up into separate exports, I can attach both audio tracks to the H.264 mov. I can view and edit them in the Properties window of the video in quicktime.
So what I'm starting with is a video file with two Audio tracks:
5.1 Surround: C,L,R,Ls,Rs,LFE + 2.0 Stereo: L, R
What I'd like to do is unite the two audio files to create an 8.0 track: L,R,C,LFE,Ls,Rs,Lt,Rt
By changing the naming of the stereo track from L,R to Lt,Rt in the properties windown, an option appears in the audio export settings to use the SMPTE DTV audio output (L,R,C,LFE,Ls,Rs,Lt,Rt). But when I use it, assuming it will recognize my naming structure and rearrange the tracks according, the export results in a stereo file.
What am I doing wrong?? All logic makes me assume that this should work...
I should note that when I open the H.264 in quicktime the 5.1 audio track is not enables (or clicked on) in the properties tab. I must turn it on for quicktime to recognize it in the inspector window. However, when I try to save the video it requires me to save my file in an MOV container.
When I try to simply export the file as a 8 discrete channels, it will export with 8 channels, but the first two are a stereo pair and the other 6 are silent tracks.
The only way I've found to keep these audio tracks together is to extract each audio unit separately (5.1 and 2.0) and then add one of the audio tracks to the other using the copy and "Add to Movie" feature. This is not my preferred workflow since I'd like to keep the audio and video together. I'm creating a workflow that will be repeated several times so the more I can streamline this process the better.
Please help. Any ideas would be great.

I don't think Quicktime Pro is able to export individual audio tracks. It sounds like Handbrake create an AC3 sound track and a 2.0 channel stereo track. I don't think iMovie will handle multi-track audio and Final Cut Pro X won't let you assign audio channels to individual outputs.
If you have the original VOB file, DVDxDV Pro will break it out to individual audio channels into separate AIFF audio files which you can then import into Final Cut Pro 7 and remix the audio that way.

Multiple Audio tracks in Premire Pro

I have an interview that is done and now I'm trying to clean up the background noise in Soundbooth. I've done a good job cleaning it up but now how do I apply that same series of effects to multiple audio tracks in the same sequence? I'm currently just right clicking on the audio of the clip and selecting edit in Soundbooth>render and replace. But I have so many clips in my sequence it would take forever to do each one.
Is there a work around for this?
Thanks -

This may not be the only way, or best way, but if you have a bunch of clips in a row that all need the same treatment, you could export your Work Area as a .wav file, import and drop into timeline, then do the Soundbooth business on the new clip all at once.

Importing multiple audio tracks from FCE HD

On page 22 of the FCE HD manual it says of importing Quicktime movies "...new audio tracks are added below the video track for EACH audio track in the movie". This does not seem to be the case when I import movies exported for Soundtrack. Is the manual wrong, or is it me?
Sorry if this is a FAQ, I've tried a lot of searches and I can't find anything.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 832 MB Ram, ATI Radeon 7000, Mercury Elite 1 Ghz

Ok - I'm back again. I've been fooling around a bit with this and this is what I have come up with. ST only allows 1 track in at a time. Multitracks of audio from FCE are flattened down which makes it impossible to tweak them individually in ST. I turned the link button off in FCE and exported the audio tracks one at a time. Each track you bring into ST has to be opened in a new ST project file. Then you can tweak them and export them out of ST, and bring them back into FCE.
My opinion however is that ST is such a weak and watered down verion of STP that it is actually better and more time efficient to use the audio tools in FCE to fix your audio problems and do your mix. Sure, if you have STP its a great program - but ST has none of the power tools that its big rother STP has. You are much better using FCE.

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)?

Identifying multiple audio tracks on Apple TV

I like to add the director's commentary tracks to TV shows and movies I encode for my iTunes library. Until recently, usually I've been able to identify them through my Apple TV by holding down "select" on the remote, going into "audio" and then seeing things like:
English (Stereo)
English (Surround)
English (Commentary)
but now the same file would show something like:
English
English (Surround)
English
iTunes still shows the audio track descriptions and I noticed that there is some change in the whether anything at all appears in brackets after the language name when you play around with the Dolby Digital setting in the Options pane on Apple TV, so I'm wondering if I've somehow changed a setting? Can anyone help me out here?

I've been able to do this by changing the language on the second track to something other than English. I use Quicktime Pro to open the file with multiple audio tracks and hit cmd+J. The screen that comes up shows each of the tracks in the Quicktime file. Click on the 2nd audio track and under one of the property tabs ("other" or "presentation" or something like that)you can choose a different language. Just pick one and save. Add the video to iTunes again and re-sync. Now you should be able to choose "french" (or whatever you designated your second audio to be) when you hold play.
If that doesn't work, there is one other step but I can't remember if it is necessary: In QT Pro, in addition to changing the language, you may need to assign the 2nd audio track as an "alternate track" to the video. You do that in the "cmd+J" screen as well
