Exporting the soundtrack

I know this is probably a very, very, very, frequently asked question, but I can't pin it down anywhere, so I need to ask it here. Sorry.
What I want to do is save a short section of the soundtrack of a project clip as a WAV file, (or some other editable sound format), export it to a sound editor, clean it up and enhance it, then import it back to my project and sync it back to the action. It's only a brief few seconds of dialogue.
Please, how do I do that?
Thanks, guys.

Anyway, I think Herr Schluter, yourself Sue, and Lennart, are the "Meisters" of the Forum.
oohhh, blush, thanks for the flowers... ok, Lennart is a Meister (besides some other, just to mention Karl (Grandmaster) or Matti (Master of Desaster, Keeper of the very unofficial iM' BugList) , Sue (no, not italian, I can tell you, "illini" stands for Illinois...) is our Meister-librarian, she has EVERY topic every written here in her mind plus an endless list of links to ANY article every written at apple.com... and a "few" other websites............
.. and me..? I'm just an average Daddy-does-movies guy, twice a day busy here on the board...
to improve your German skills:
press two keys simultanously: alt-u... , alt-o, alt-a ...
"Kraut" is indeed derogatory ... but, depends WHO and how somebody uses this phrase, some black friends of mine call themselves.. youknowwhat (I'm not using this word!!); Sue and I got friends here on the board, we like to ... pick each other.. ;-))) we both know each other enough, to know, we both don't fullfill the usual stereotypes... so, she's an "Ami" (which is derogatory here in Germany), and me is the "Kraut".. Krazy Kraut.. Kwik Krazy Kraut .. Karsten Kwik Krazy Kraut... phewwww....

In iWork 09 when I export the recoded timing presentation, I lose my movies

In Keynote 09 (and I tried it in Keynote 08, too) I can't export the recorded presentation without losing the video.
I have a soundtrack. When I play the slide show in keynote, the sound and movies work together perfectly. Then when I try exporting them with recorded timing, I lose the movies (they just don't start playing, although I can hear the audio for them, I get no visual).
When I "send to iDVD", as an automated timing slide show, I don't get the soundtrack, but the video does play...
Help! I want to have the soundtrack playing underneath the audio for the movies.

i am having the same problem. If i use a fixed timing, the video clips seem to play just fine. when i tried to do a recording of the presentation, the video clips i embedded won't export out and play. the audio i recorded, the song i was using in the background, works fine, but the video hangs on the first frame.
does anyone have a fix?

The audio goes BEEP BEEP BEEP instead of playing the soundtrack

Hello again, from me who am still a newbie.
I have some footage taken on a different camera from mine, in DV not HD fomat, PAL still, which was imported using iMovie 08 and which plays happily in that sw. In FCE when I play it in the viewer it's all fine. If I select a part, and put it on the timeline, and then play bthe timeline I get BEEP BEEP BEEP instead of hearing the people speaking, as I can in the viewer.
What am I doing wrong?
Secondly- if I may - once I can hear the voices and not the beeps, I need to rip out the soundtrack and convert it to mp3. What would be the best way to do this?
TIA

First I'd try rendering the audio. Sequence -> Render All -> Audio. But, if you're going to be working with the audio track, you should make the file match FCE's needs.
Now, that you ask, I don't think I've ever done this. I just did a quick test and this worked for me. De-link the audio and video tracks by clicking the small green chain icon on the right side of the timeline. It's just above the video tracks. Then single click the audio track you want to work one. From the File -> Export -> Quicktime movie. Name your file. Then open the file in Audacity and save it as a 48,000 Hz AIFF file. Back in FCE, import and place the audio track where you need it.
I did not try this, but I think it'll work if you have FCE version 3.5 and Soundtrack. From the file menu, export as a Soundtrack file. Make the changes in Soundtrack and the file should be automatically changed in FCE.

Media Disappears After Exporting to Soundtrack Pro

I have an HD project I'm working on that was shot on the HVX200. The files have been converted and imported into FCPS2 and the edit went fine. Then I tried to export the sequence to Soundtrack Pro for audio editing and clips started disappearing from the drive. The only solution I have found is to re-convert and import the files.
This has happened twice now and all the same files. What's happening? Does anyone know of a way to prevent this?
Message was edited by: Marc Buhmann

Reports of this strange file disappearing behavior surface every few months and almost always involve having both apps (STP and FCP) open at the same time. Speculation has been that somewhere in the round trip, FCP gets confused and believes the original files are renders and are deleted. And when FCP deletes something, it is gone.
The work around has been to make sure that both apps are not running at the same time - i.e. export your file from FCP then close FCP. Launch STP, make changes then export back and close STP. Launch FCP, import edited file back in and continue on your merry way.
This is a pain for certain. The other way is make sure you always have a set of the media stored offline (which you would anyway with P2 sourced files) and simply do an offline/online reconnect when the files go missing.
Good luck.

Can't export to Soundtrack

Hi, thanks for any help with this.
I am running FCP 5.0.2 and Soundtrack 1.2.
I was just watching the Quick Tour video on the Apple site for some of the features of Soundtrack. On the video for "Noise Reduction" they showed how you can Control (right) Click your audio clip in FCP and select "Send To" > "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" where you can then make corrections to the audio and it's updated in FCP. When I highlight the audio clip in question and right click it and choose "Send To", my option for "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" is faded and I can't click it. My only options are the two below that, which were not used in the video.
Is my version of FCP not compatible with my version of Soundtrack? I also tried exporting the audio clip as an AIF and then importing that into Soundtrack but when I open Soundtrack and attempt to import the AIF file it is faded as well and I can't open it.
I have a lot of audio clips to clean up for a video project and I thought this would be easy. It's rarely as easy as in the demo videos but if anyone can think of something I can do please let me know.
Thanks again.

You'll need Sountrack "Pro" for that

Whenever I export, the speed of my clip is sped up for no reason.

Basically, whenever I export a little segment I chopped up (i.e. a ring tone) it is sped up for no reason at all. The speed of the clip is fine in my timeline on soundtrack but after, nope.
Help!

If I understand the question correctly, you are having a problem of the audio getting clipped to a shorter length after exporting from Soundtrack. This is a question that comes up here every week or so.
Take a look at this:

Missing Source files when exporting to Soundtrack and LiveType

An extremely frustrating "glitch" has occurred. When exporting to LiveType or Soundtrack, I receive and error message telling me that one or more of my source files are missing. I had been editing with these files in FCP 5 for the past few days with no problems. Initially I had no problem exporting to LiveType. Yet, today when I exported to Soundtrack Pro and subsequently LiveType, my source files just disappear. I have found some references to this issue in the discussions, but found no solution. If someone has found a solution since the last posting, please inform of it.
Demetrius

Export the clip using current settings.
Then open that in LT, and work with it independently.
Then export is and import it into FCP and use it to replace the original clip in the sequence.

Exporting from Soundtrack Pro - Trouble

I am having problems exporting from Soundtrack Pro. I haven't had these problems before.
I have tried to export a track to MP3 and to Compressor but all I get is the Exporting window and that's as far as it goes. It says, 'Time Remaining: Estimating...' but then that's it. I had even left it for a few hours and still nothing happened.
The program isn't frozen, just the export isn't working. Is this a common problem? Can it be fixed?
Many thanks.

I have the same problem...
I finished working on a project and when I tried to export it - it would start out just, tell me that it would be done in less than a minute and the just suddenly stop 1/4 of the way for no reason. Same thing happens whatever I do - in the same exact place. I spent a lot of time finishing this edit so I really want to get it back to FCP.
Can anyone help?

Export for Soundtrack cause Media to go Missing

I think that I have found a bug in the "Export to Soundtrack" function in FCE HD 3.0.
I was exporting a 10 minute sequence to Soundtrack (I had successfully exported the same sequence to Soundtrack about 30 minuntes earlier). An error appeared about a missing movie file (looked like a FIN render file). Then, one out of the ten source media files in the FCE project disappeared. It was there before the export and missing after the export. I tried to reconnect it but it has gone missing from the hard disk. It was on a second hard disk (I have never had a problem with this hard disk).
There is nothing unusual about the one media file that disappeared. I did not delete it, change its name or touch it in anyway. In fact, before the export for Soundtrack, I had just done a run right through a 10 minute sequence that contained clips from this source file and other source files (that were all in the same folder and unaffected by this problem).
A whole bunch of render files went missing at the same time.
To solve the problem, I had to recapture that one source media file and re-render the sequence.
This must be some intermittant bug in Soundtrack or FCE because I have been swapping soundtracks and video back and forwards between the two programs for the last couple of weeks without a problem.
Someone on the "emotionDV" forum reported the exact same problem.
How do you tell Apple about these kind of bugs?
Regards
Peter

Tom,
Thanks.
Once I recaptured the source DV tape into the same file name and location as the one that went missing, the problem was solved. But it wasted a couple of hours of my time and added a couple of grey hairs to my head...
I suspect that the bug may be something to do with the way that FCE and ST interact. In future, I might make sure that only one of these two applications are open at one time, quitting one before opening the other. I don't know if this will prevent the problem but it might.
I have reported the problem to Apple using the Feedback menu item as you suggest.
I am also about to upgrade to FCP and STP so maybe those newer "Pro" software will play together a bit better...
Regards
Peter

Export from Soundtrack to Logic?

How can I export a Soundtrack project so that I can open it in Logic? Is there a way to do this as a single file without exporting all the Soundtrack tracks as individual files?

I suppose my question is more along the lines of what solution (I've purchased them all) allows you to Record and Edit multiple spoken tracks of audio?
I've purchased:
SoundTrack Pro
SoundBooth
Logic Express
Audacity
and of course I've upgraded to iLife 09.
If one of these tools could allow you to select a section of audio from 1, 2, 3, or all tracks and delete it with a "Ripple Delete" option, then I'd be a happy guy.
Right now:
GarageBand doesn't allow you to delete and shift-left "ripple delete".
As for Logic, I don't see ripple delete either.
SoundTrack does do this but it only allow me to edit one Track at a time--open them all, but edit one, then the other, then the other. Lots of flipping around.
With Audition (which is limited to Windows) I can select a section of 1, 2, 3, or all tracks, and delete that section, ripple or not.
FYI: "Ripple" is a Final Cut Pro term.
To be honest, no that I think about it... FinalCut Pro may be the best solution. Load everythign into it as separate tracks and have at it--at least it does it.
Remember, I'm not a musician, nor do I record music, only audio for podcasting. (but don't equate "podcasting" to Video-podcasting as most people do).
Anyway, my solution will be to load Virtual Box on the Mac. Record using Logic (which did a great job of recording onto multiple tracks) and then bring those AIF files into Adobe Audition under Windows in VirtualBox--or perhaps on a Networked PC.
Of course the other solution (and perhaps less painful) would be to simply abandon the Mac entirely and move all this stuff onto the PC and only use the Mac for FinalCut Pro work. What a huge disappointment that would be.

Exporting for Soundtrack

I'm using FCE HD, 3.5.1. I've edited my sequence and want to export for Soundtrack to do a better mix of dialogue and music, etc. So, I select "Export>For Soundtrack". I then select to include audio and video, as well as All Markers. I've tried to do this both by selecting "Make Movie Self-Contained" and not selecting that. Everytime, I get a "Final Cut Express Movie" in the folder that I've selected. However, Soundtrack won't let me open the file. I've tried both opening through the "Open File" dialogue, as well as dragging the file from the finder over the Soundtrack icon on the doc. It will allow me to open it in Livetype, but not Soundtrack.
What am I doing wrong?

The few times I've used SoundTrack, I've just located the movie exported from FCE in SoundTrack's Browser window and dragged it into the Video window. What happens when you try that?

How can I export a group email address to a .csv file. I can export the whole address book but it looses the group listings.

I have an address book in Thunderbird and want to export one group listing to a .csv file. I couldn't find a way of exporting one group so exported the whole address book then opened the .csv file and was going to remove the all addresses except the group but the group name was not in the file.
Is it possible to export the group listing.
Thanks
Ron

Open Address Book, select the mailing list in the left pane, then Tools/Export, select csv (comma separated) format, name the file, click Save.

Using Powershell Script Run simple query in MS Access 2007 and export the results of query to Excel

Hi Experts,
I have a Access 2007 DB file and 2 Big tables inside that (bigger than the size that can be easily handled by MS Excel 2007).
My requirement is automate using powershell scripts the below things.
1. Create a SQL query in Access DB and save that in access DB
2. Run the saved query and export the result in excel sheet where I can create the charts and Pivots. Thanks in advance
Prajesh

Do you have to use the Access query, couldn't you just recreate the query in Powershell? Here's a link with good info that references an existing script for querying an Access database:

Once you have your dataset you can pipe it to

Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
Contact information Dennis [email protected]
Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

IMovie HD 6.0.3: After making 10 movies where I clipped portions from a larger clip (and exported the smaller clips), suddenly iMovie clips are much shorter after I export them.

Hi there,
I am using iMovie HD 6.0.3 on an older MacBookPro (OS X, 10.4.11).
I took an AVI video and imported that into iMovie HD.
I then created smaller clips out of that - like editing a 20 minute video into small, 30 second clips.
I made about 10 of these smaller clips, exported them using "expert settings," and burned the results to DVD. These all worked fine.
Suddenly, the final product that I export is much shorter than the clip I created. For example, I'll create a 30 second smaller clip from the original. When I review this 30 second clip, it is what I wanted.
When I export this 30 second clip, it makes a QuickTime movie that is only 23 seconds. (The first 10 I made did not do this).
I tried extending my clip by 7 seconds, hoping to end up with a 30 second clip after exporting. The result was even shorter - like 15 seconds.
I have checked disk space - it has at least 500 GB free space. I have tried exporting the clip to both my laptop and to an external hard drive. The results are the same.
I just tried using the "crop" feature to see if my end product was better - but it was the same.
Does anyone know what is going on? Why did this start after making 10 successful exports? What can I do to get it working right again, as I have 3 more clips to make and am running up against a deadline.
Thanks so much!
Heidi

Since I can't edit this post... (Why?) I'd add: fast forwarding and fast reverse (shift key and arrow left or right) the HA files is also not smooth. They play alright. I'm surprised iMovie can't handle them either. I didn't have a problem with the earlier camcorder's HA files... (All were converted MTS files using Movie Converter.)
