Extracting audio from video file to edit...

i know in imovie it's easy you just select the video then go up top and select the extract audio tab...
but how can you extract the audio from a video file in final cut so are able to edit the audio and video files separately from one another WITHIN final cut??

no output volume? ... you need to check your setting under the View menu > Audio Playback ... where are you sending the audio? maybe you're routing it to follow the video out through firewire to your DV device, in which case you need to turn up the speakers on your DV monitoring equipment
...or is this a muxed MPEG file? if so you need to demux it before bringing it into FCP, or better still, convert it to a more appropriate edit codec (you can use the excellent and free MPEG Streamclip application to do this)

    If all you want is to create a backup of some file you can do:public class Foo
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Foo f = new Foo();
            f.createBackup("something.xls");
        public void createBackup(String inFile) {

  • Extracted audio from video file is white noise

    Hi, I'm working on an animated series as a sound designer (my first gig as such). I'm getting .mov files from the director with some audio already added. In some cases, he just wants me to add tracks to what's already there and export it containing my audio and his.
    The video looks OK (though the playback is pretty choppy, but that might be system limitations) but the extracted audio that shows up on the separate audio track is very loud white noise. There appears to be breaks where there's silence on the track but the audio is completely fuzzed-out and unintelligible.
    The only thing I can think of is I'm using XP, he's on OS X. However, we both have current versions of QuickTime so why would it matter.
    Any advice or insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi grilch,
    I'd definitely need to know the format of the audio stream. If you play the MOV file directly in Quicktime, does the audio play properly?
    Thanks,
    Durin

  • Extracting audio from video clip to use as narration?

    Hi there,
    I have a video clip in which I want to take the audio of actor speaking and put it onto another video.
    I.e. he is speaking about walking in the park. I want to take him speaking about walking in the park and put it onto the clip where he is actually walking in the park.
    How do I do this in premiere elements 10?

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for the quick response. I guess my question now is how would I do those two things?
    In terms of exporting the audio, where can I find that option when I'm on timeline?
    What do you mean by "Alt-click" and what is a "muxed file"?
    Thanks again,
    Mallory

    Welcome to the forum. There are several ways to accomplish this, and your choice might well rest on how you like to work, and what you are doing, such as Deleteing Video. First, you could Export/Share just the Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, from your Timeline, and Import that into a New Project, where the Audio WAV file would be used. OTOH, you could Atl-click on the Video portion of the muxed file, and Delete the Video, leaving only the Audio portion. Good luck, Hunt

  • Extract audio from video for iMOVIE 09 then edit movie?

    Can someone pls help explain to me how i do this:
    I have recorded a video of myself talking in front of a camcorder, that is in imovie. I have also recorded the audio of me speaking at the same time, in order for me to have higher quality sound. This is recorded separate through garage band and an external microphone i have. I want to replace the audio in the movie with the recorded audio in garage band. So the video looks and sounds great.
    I then want to be able to edit the video while keeping the audio in sync with the speech.
    I would really appreciate help from someone on this!!
    Thanks!

    ok so this is what i have been able to do so far:
    I have been able to detach the audio from the video off the camcorder and import the recorded audio from my external microphone.
    Now i don't know how to attach the new audio to the video and then edit the video, while keeping the speaking and audio in sync?

  • Extracting Audio from Video

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a way to get a Java program to read a video file, and extract its audio component into a separate audio file.
    I tried searching around for such capabilities in the java.sound and javax.media packages, but have had no luck so far.
    I was able to find a code which converts .au files to .aiff, but this is restricted to audio files and is therefore not scalable for video formats.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

    I was wondering if there is a way to get a Java program to read a video file, and extract its audio component into a separate audio file.I have not done it, but I believe it is possible.
    To achieve this (obviously you would have to use a Processor for this), first you have get all the tracks from the video being played, then you would have to check the format of that track, if it happens to be some audio format enable it, otherwise disable the track.
    I have edited the code from AVTransmit2 (which uses this for setting the format of tracks for transmission):
    TrackControl [] tracks = processor.getTrackControls();
    for (int i = 0; i < tracks.length; i++) {
          Format format = tracks.getFormat();
    if (format instanceof AudioFormat) {
    tracks[i].setEnabled(true);
    } else
    tracks[i].setEnabled(false);
    Thanks!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Extracting Audio from Video With QuickTime Pro?

    I read on another discussion board that QuickTime Pro could record/extract audio only from a video file. So I purchased the QuickTime Pro upgrade today (for Windows XP) but can't seem to find out how to do it, assumimg that post was correct and it can be done at all.
    The Nero video editing software I use can get the video file in MPEG-2, MPEG-1, AVI and other formats. I tried MPEG-1, but even the conversion to QuickTime's .mov format came up with no audio at all. I noticed a post here saying that was a limitation of the software. I could purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 add-on but that seems to only allow playback and doesn't look like it will help any.
    Another post on the other discussion board said that virtualdub.org has a software program that could do this extraction, but silly me I went with Apple and was delighted to read about the no refund policy just now. :-/
    I'm guessing another possible approach is some kind of hardware solution -- a recording device of some sort?

    In order to extract a track (video or audio) the file first must have those as independent tracks.
    MPEG 1 and 2 are "muxed" (video and audio in the same track) so QuickTime Pro has nothing to extract.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert .mpg and .mpeg files to QuickTime formats.
    If you export from Nero as .avi you can also use QuickTime Pro to extract tracks as it will have at least two.
    MPEG 1 and 2 are playback formats and are not intended to be edited.

  • Extract Audio from Video Clip

    I want to extract the audio from a video clip and use it in another setting as an MP3, AVI, WAV -- or whatever. How do I do this in FCE?

    Export a QuickTime movie and select Audio Only. You'll get an AIF file @48kHz. You can then convert to other formats in iTunes or other software.

  • Close Captions can't see audio from video file

    Trying to close caption a video file using Slide Notes in Captivate 5.  Inserted Video via Insert>Slide Video,  added notes via Slide Notes and checked off cc box.  When I go to Audio dialog (Audio > Record > to Slide), my notes show up only as notes, the captions tab is empty.   No audio is displayed for the slide (because it is expecting me to record or import some audio).
    From what I've read, this audio dialog box is where I synch my slide notes as captions, but I can't see any audio or video synch reference at all -- even duration / frame count would work.
    Do I need to import a separate mp3 version of the movie to synch to?
    Any suggestions?

    I figured it out - typical obvious error on my part.   If I'm captioning a MOVIE, I need to adjust the timing via the Video tab, not the audio tab.

  • Premiere Pro CC won't play audio from video file

    I've been trying to edit videos recorded with Bandicam in Premiere Pro CC.

    if your file hold byte[] data you can use the following code to get the byte[] data as RGB
    public byte[][] getData(int frameNum) throws Exception {
    FramePositioningControl fpc = getPositionControl();
    FrameGrabbingControl      fgc = getGrabControl();
    Buffer           buf;
    RGBFormat     format;
    int          width, height, pixelStride, lineStride, idx;
    byte[][]     rgbData;
    byte[]          data;
    Object          dataObj;
    // skip to the requested frame
    fpc.seek(frameNum);
    // get the data
    buf = fgc.grabFrame();
    // support RGB Format
    format = (RGBFormat)buf.getFormat();
    width = format.getSize().width;
    height = format.getSize().height;
    pixelStride = format.getPixelStride();
    lineStride = format.getLineStride();
    dataObj = buf.getData();
    if (!(dataObj instanceof byte[]))
    return null;
    data = (byte[])dataObj;
    // create the data;
    rgbData = new byte[3][width*height];
    idx = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i += pixelStride) {
    // bgr order
    rgbData[2][idx] = data;
    rgbData[1][idx] = data[i+1];
    rgbData[0][idx] = data[i+2];
    idx++;
    if (format.getFlipped() == 1) {
    rgbData[0] = flipImageTopBottom(rgbData[0], width, height);
    rgbData[1] = flipImageTopBottom(rgbData[1], width, height);
    rgbData[2] = flipImageTopBottom(rgbData[2], width, height);
    return rgbData;

  • Extracting Audio from M2P files

    I did a forum search and only came across one other post for this.
    The QT Player will recognize the M2P file and place the right icon on it.. but won't open the file unless it is re-named to a .m2v or .mpg file.
    It then plays fine within the QT Player.. but without any sound. MPlayer on the otherhand, opens the file perfectly fine and plays the audio along with the video, no file extension change at all.
    Does anyone know how it is I can get the sound to play from within the QT Player? I need to extract the audio so I can re-enoded to a web friendly format (ala H.264).
    Video doesn't seem to be a problem.. I am basically looking for a Demuxing app of some sort.. any ideas?

  • Extracting Audio from Streaming File

    Hey everyone,
    I've got a streaming quicktime file. Is it possible to extract the audio and save it as an mp3?
    Thanks.

    If it's a true streaming file that you're playing off a web site, there's no way to extract the audio directly since the file is never complete on your system at any one time. You'd need to capture the audio of the movie player using a utility such as Audio Hijack or Wiretap.

  • Quicktime only plays audio from video files!

    When looking at quicktime files, such as on Apple Trailers, HD files work, but the standard ones won't play, just the audio. There isn't even a blank screen or anything, just the audio bar!
    How can I fix this problem?

    Some fixed it by reinstalling the latest Flash Player 9.0 r47
