FCP7 export prores 422HQ with discrete audio displays incorrect timecode in quicktime7?

Hi all
I have been exporting Prores 422 HQ files as a SAS QT movie in FCP7 to create discrete audio channels for the file. My issue is that once the file is complete and I open it in quick time 7, the timecode progressivly gets out of sync. For example, my file has bars and tone from 00:58:30:00 - 00:59:30:00. When I open the file in QT7 and change the bottom left corner to read timecode, the file starts out at 58:30, but at the end of the bars and tone, the timecode is 59:31, not the normal 59:30. Then, as the movie goes on, the timecode gets more and more out of sync.
Now the conusing part is that when I my same file back in to FCP, or AVID or Resolve, the timecode is fine. So it only seems to do this when opened in QT7. The audio doesn't go out of sync either.
Maybe its an issue with my FCP sequence settings? This has never happened before with any other file we open in QT7 and I have been trying to do some research about this issue but nothing seems to be coming up. Any ideas?

The exported file plays fine, no glitches. The original file that I use to create the new discrete audio file shows correct timecode when played in QT7. The original file is also a prores 422 HQ file captured from a HDSR 444 tape.

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.

Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cole

Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.
Hmm,

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?

Export to media with mono audio

I am working on a project that is using footage that has been recorded to the camera in stereo using both tracks, and in stereo using only the left track. I am a novice with Premier Pro and wondering how to export this project to media with the audio in mono. I need to export it as a SD file for Vimeo, and also as a MPEG2_DVD.
The church I'm doing the project for has complained that when playing the video through their projection system that all the audio that was recorded to only the left track was not playing when I exported the files as stereo.
The project also has other audio tracks (background music, etc) that are stereo.
Thanks for your help
I am using Premier Pro CS5

I tried using the fill right effect and got a muted result. Someone told me a long time ago that if you put the exact same signal on both tracks of a stereo audio file that they will cancel each other out. Apparently they were correct because when I applied the fill right effect my audio was silent, I only got it back when I removed the effect.
So if I create a sequence with a mono master track can I nest other sequences into it that were created with a stereo master track?
I've already created about 1-1/2 hours worth of sequences that represent chapters and would prefer not to have to recreate them all.

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:

Problems with the images displaying incorrectly

I have done a couple of installs before this of the new Apex 4 deployed on weblogic 10.3.3 with no problems but this one has "stuck a spanner in the works". I have also looked through the forums and was unable to find a solution to the problem I am seeing. I am about to start an SR if no one is able to help on the forums.
This is my problem;
I am able to view the individual images in the images directory via the http for e.g. http://hostname.domain:7001/apex/i/date.gif and this displays correctly.
I am not able to view the http://hostname.domain:7001/apex/f?p=4550:1:2874725903020187 images as they are not displaying.
In the troubleshooting section of the install guide it mentions;
A.4 Images Displaying Incorrectly in Oracle Application Express
If images in Oracle Application Express do not display correctly, you may have more than one definition of the /i/ alias. To address this issue:
If possible, rename the first instance of /i/ to a different alias name.
Alternatively, copy the images from the ORACLE_HOME\apex\images directory to the directory defined by the first /i/ alias.
** Firstly how do I "rename the first instance of /i/" (how do I find this out?)
** How do I "Alternatively, copy the images from the ORACLE_HOME\apex\images directory to the directory defined by the first /i/ alias".
Thanks to all that reply.
If any more detail is required please just ask.

Hi,
Url where you see image should be
"http://hostname.domain:7001/i/date.gif"So /i/ should be in server root.
Sorry , I'm not familiar Apex Listener and those servers you can use with it.
It might good idea to post question to Apex Listener forum and give all details about server, database and Apex version
ORDS, SODA & JSON in the Database

Yes its all correct. I have just discovered that a separate calendar was set up with incorrect settings from the originator. I have checked all my settings and I'm good to go. thanks for your response

Compressor 3.5 How can I create ProRes file with AIFF audio?

Hi,
I've had some issues with audio playing in FCP 7. I finally found that if I use an aiff audio file 48 16bit it would play okay in the Timeline. I'm able to create an aiff audio only file in Compression, but if I use ProRes 422 for the Video it will use "passthrough" audio, which won't play in FCP. I can turn passthrough off, but then I don't have the option of using an AIFF file, just a bunch of other stuff. Tried the first available option, but it was either silence, or a screeching audio sound so loud it probably woke the neighbors. There is something called "Apple Lossless", but that doesn't have the right bit rate it seems.
Anyway, does anyone know how I can create a ProRes 422 file with the correct audio? Or maybe the only option is to put the video in the FCP Timeline, delete original audio, then add audio that works? Then perhaps export THAT and compress again into one file?
Hope any of this makes sense, I have a small project I would rather edit in FCP7, but if I can't get it to work at all, I could just use Premiere Pro for this one.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hmmm, this is weird. I had already converted once to the format you suggested. When I imported the file into FCP even the original didn't play right. With the sound on my computer turned all the way down, there was no real audio, just a screeching sound so loud it would wake the dead. I had to turn off the sound completely to not have my ear drums burst. Put a small portion of the clip in the Timeline, there was no beeping, but instead no sound at all.
I thought maybe I had done something wrong, so I chose a much smaller clip (45sec instead of 1:30 hours) that was in the exact same format the larger clip was. That one played just fine in FCP after conversion, so I re-did the longer clip but got the screeching sound again as soon as I tried to play the clip after import. When I play that same longer clip in Quicktime, the audio is normal, no screeching at all.
Any idea why this might be happening? It must somehow have something to do with the length of the clip. But how could that be??

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.

What did your Broadcast Quality Control pick up on?
Audio Levels and Loudness are two different things in this regard.

Can I export to tape with 4 audio channels

I am editing a short piece in PP CS3 for a TV station who require delivery by tape (I'm proposing to use mini-DVCAM). Part of their audio requirements are that program audio be on tracks 1 & 2, with Music and effects on tracks 3 & 4.
Is it possible to deliver this as one file (video plus 4 audio tracks) or will I need to deliver either 3 files (video plus 2 seperate stereo audio files) or 5 files( video plus 4 individual mono audio files)? The last two options seem a little unprofessional, requiring them to recompile the final product.

No, yes.

Export quicktime trouble with splitted audio

Hi, I'm getting 4 movies of audio when "self contained" as a quicktime movie. It is a regualr NTSC 720x480 sequence. I put the "self contained" movie in my drive to share and nobody can read it Besides, I cannot burn DVDs anymore with those results. I really don't know what happened. Anyone getting something similar?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Kevan has the answer to the file-splitting problem. But once you have that straightened out, the reason others may not be able to play it may be that they don't have FCP installed on their system. Right-click on the self-contained file and choose 'Get Info.' Change the 'Opens With' to QuickTime Player and add a .mov extension to the file name if it doesn't already have it.

ProRes 4444 with BOTH Alpha Channel AND Timecode?

Recently did a large project of creating alpha channels from green screen footage.
Made the timelines 4444 and tried to output.
If I export as Quicktime, I get the timecode but not the Alpha channel.
If I export as Quicktime Conversion, I can get the Alpha channel, but not the timecode.
Am I doing something fundamentally wrong?
Is there a way to get both on the same output?
Like I said, this project is large -- 91 files -- and it takes more than 8 hours to export out either way even on a current 6 core machine.
What I really do NOT want to have to do is some crazy copy and paste of the timecode information from two separate exports.

You said, "'export as Quicktime' is a very vague description."
Actually, it's not.
A person only has a few choices in Final Cut Pro. If you want to get really specific;
File > Export > QuckTime Movie...
Or
File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion...
That's it!
With the first and ONLY the first, it will export whatever is on your timeline and you can get Timecode, but I can't figure out a way to make it output the Alpha channel with it.
With the other, you can get any sort of converted output you can input, including ProRes 4444 and Alpha, but unfortunately not the Timecode track.
UNLESS some Guru out there knows some sort of trick.
I'm hoping to find somebody that knows one.

Export MXF with multiple audio channels for broadcast

Hi,
I work at a broadcast company as an editor. We always used FCP with the free sony xdcam plugin to export. This plugin seems to be one of the rare ways to export an MXF with 4 audio channels. I don't know exactly why we need to export it for broadcasting with 4 audio channels, but we do.
Since our workload has grown enormously the last few months and it will only become more we are optimizing our workflow. We also work with a lot of different endboards in After Effects and we made a nice template to work with. And since AE and Premiere can make a dynamic link we are considering changing from FCP to Premiere.
Now comes the question!: The only obstacle we could not find an answer to is exporting it with 4 audio channels as an MXF from Premiere CS5. Will there be some development on this level regarding CS6?
A solution to this should save us a lot of time!
Any help will be highly appreciated!
I also attached an example for the usual MXF files we export

I have the same problem. I have a project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.
Method:
When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. None of the channels are muted.
Result:
The rendered file contains 8 channels, but only the first two channels contains any audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.
I don't understand your answer to wleoni75's question. Could you please help me further?
