FCPX: Detaching audio from imported event clip

I watched a video a while ago that showed me how to do this and now that I need to do it, I can't remember how! I imported an event into the timeline. The event is a live video clip with audio. How can I detach the soundtrack from the video? I want to keep the soundtrack but I want it detached.

Now I feel silly lol! Thank you so much. I didn't realize it was that easy!

  • Detaching audio from video clips

    Hi
    After trying the standard 'detach audio' button I cant seem to find a way to completley detach audio from a clip in order to hear the track I have added to the clip. All I can seem to do is turn the volume right down, and inturn still able to hear it, which is proving annoying!
    Any ideas would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply Geoff,
    I basically have a soundtrack 3.28 minutes long which I want to be the only noise thats playing throughout my interchanging video clips, so I would like to completley move the audio from the all of the indivdual video clips that I am adding in, I thought the 'detatch audio' button would be the one for this, but as I continuously play back bits of the movie to prefect editing I can still slightly hear the sound from the individual videos that I am adding?
    So frustrating, but Im sure thats its something real basic that I am missing.....

  • Detaching Audio from iMovie Clip - iMovie 9 (2011)

    I am using iMovie 9 (2011 - latest). I am trying to detach Audio from a portion of a video clip. I have the Video in the viewer section. I have selected the portion of the Video that were I want to detach the Audio. I read that I have to use Advanced tools to do this (new method). I turned on "Advanced Tools" in the Preferences section. Now I still do not have the menu option to use "Advance Tools" and Extract the Audio. Could you please tell me what I may have missed? Thanks

    If you right click on the clip, you should see Detach Audio in the selection box.
    I think it is also in the Edit menu.
    If you want to detach audio for only a portion of a clip, first select the portion, then right-click/Split Clip. Then right-click/Detach Audio.

  • Detaching Audio from clip from the film library panel?

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to grab video only from the film library panel. I want to just pull video and not audio as I layout video only out onto my timeline and don't want to hasstle through detaching audio from each clip in the timeline. Does anyone know how to do this? I know Adobe Premier lets you do this but I'm fairly new to FCP and would like to know

    Unchecking the audio in the sequence so that source/left A1 isn't connected(not touching) to timeline/right A1 will ensure audio is not added to the the a1 track.
    In Premiere 5.5 if you unhighlight a1(source/left) and A1(timeline/right) no audio will be added to that track.
    If you unconnect A1 & A2 in the sequence  audio will never be added to timeline whether you drag a clip from a bin or insert/overwrite from the viewer window.

  • After I detach audio from the video, and I go to delete the video portion but keep the audio, it deletes both. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello Everyone!
    I would appreciate your support if you can. I know how to detach the audio from a video clip. Once this is done I wanted to add another video shot (B-roll) over the audio I detached. When I go to delete the video (which is detached form the audio) It deletes both of them automatically.
    Is there something I am doing wrong? Do I need to unpin the audio somehow?
    Thanks again.

    Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

  • On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

    .

    Hey,
    If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.

  • Audio from one event posting to another video?

    I'd like to use audio from one event and use it for the audio of another movie. I've done it before, but simply can't find the info or remember just how I did it last time. Does anyone know how to do this?

    ooooh, I figured it out! Sorry for the posting.

  • How to extract audio from a video clip

    I am editting a video, and I need to extract the audio from a video clip. On the old iMovie it was really easy, all you had to do was press apple K I think. Thanks in advanced for your help.

    Select the clip in the sequence.
    Then command-L to unlink the clips.
    Then select the audio and delete.
    As a suggestion, two things:
    1. Explain what you want to do. If it is delete the audio, then that is different than extracting the audio;
    2. Do a search in the pdf manual in the help manual

  • IMovie Clipping audio from imported video segments

    Hey all,
    Using MPEGStreamclip with Quicktime MPEG2-Playback, I converted some VOB files ripped from a non-commercial DVD to Quicktime for import into iMovie. The original DVD is PAL format, so I set MPEGStreamclip to export the clips as Quicktime using the Apple DV/DVCPro compression for video and left audio uncompressed.
    Upon conversion, if I open these clips with Quicktime Player, everything looks and sounds fine, beginning to end.
    However, when I import these clips into iMovie, everything looks and sounds fine except the last six frames of audio for each clip is missing. Just gone.
    The VOB files are just over one gig in size (the nature of VOB files, as I understand it) and once converted to QT are about the same size. The QT segments average about six minutes in length
    Am I missing something very simple here?
    Thanks,
    Ron
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    ... I believe Quicktime Pro can handle these ...
    sorry to correct you, J, (allthough you give excellent advices so far...):
    QTpro will convert the video-only of a mpeg... (loss of audio)
    for converting AND demuxxing, you need 3rd party tools.
    mostly recommended here, is the combo of mpeg2-plugin from apple.com (20$), plus the free tool Streamclip
    for beginners, the other option is a very Mac-like app:
    DVD2DV (25/80$)

  • Static in entire video after detaching audio from clips

    After exporting, I was having some audio/video sync issues with my 1 hour and 38 min movie.
    It was suggested that I detach the audio from the clips...so I tried it on my 6 minute preview with good success.  I exported the preview and the sync problem was fixed.
    So I started detaching the audio to fix the regular 1h 38m movie.  I got through most of the clips and then went back to play a certain section of the movie...and I noticed that now there is a bunch of static in the entire movie.
    How do I get rid of the static?
    This also has seemed to really slow the project down.  Anything I try to do on the project and iMovie just tanks.

    Thanks for your reply Geoff,

  • Patch in Audio from Similar Video Clip

    I have video of our church's Christmas play, shot with a Panasonic TM700. The audio is with the video, from the camcorder. My problem is that in some of the dialog, one girl's lapel mic quit working, so every time she speaks its really hard to hear what she says.
    I have similar video from a dress rehearsal where this person's mic was working fine. I'd like to be able to replace the bad audio from the actual performance with the good audio from the dress rehearsal, just for this one person. Can someone suggest a good workflow for that? Can it all be done in FCPX, or does the good audio need to be extracted from the video before bringing it in?

    Never mind, I figured this out. I just imported the clips from the rehearsal to my event, right clicked and chose Open in Timeline, then copied and pasted the audio from there to my project. Pretty easy.

  • Find audio from an unlinked clip?

    Hi everyone!
    Ok I'm here today to ask if you know how I can re-attach the audio to a clip I previously detached it from?
    That audio part has not been appended to the storyline, only the video. The original clip is still in my events folder.
    Is there an option to show the audio file associated with any clip I select in my storyline?

    AAMMMAAAZZZIIINNNNGGGG
    Many thanks!

  • CS5.5--Issues with audio from imported avi's & issues exporting

    To Start, my laptop:
    CPU: Intel® Core ™ i7-2330QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz
    CPU Clock Frequency: 2.00 GHz
    System Memory: 8 GBytes
    Cache Memory: 1 MBytes/6 Mbytes
    Manufacturer: Sony Corporation
    Model name: VPCF226FM
    BIOS VERSION: R1190V#
    OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
    ME Version: 7.0.10.1203
    System Type: 64-bit Operating System
    I downloaded the 30-day free trial of Premiere Pro CS5.5 with all updates.  To play with the program, for my own personal amusement, I wanted to edit together pieces from a bunch of avi videos that I know to play properly outside the program, tested on more than one computer.
    At first, importing the files seemed to be no problem, making subclips as I went along.
    However, as I continued to import files, there began to be a sound issue--sometimes the sound not being present till I was 1/3 of the way through the clip, sometimes the sound seemingly playing catch up with audio that should be earlier in the video appearing later, sometimes the sound wouldn't come up at all, and still other times I'd be, for example, on video 5 when pieces of audio from video 2 would start playing over the current video.
    I initially thought it may just be a memory issue, working with many large video files.
    But later, when I went to edit the subclips I made, I found that many of them no longer had sound, even if they did when I initially subclipped them.
    Weirdly, in the timeline, there is no consistency, as clips will appear in the video track but only some show audio tracks too.  But those with audio tracks don't always play audio and those that show NO audio tracks at all actually do play audio sometimes.  Also, those that show audio tracks and don't play them sometimes will show waveforms, sometimes don't.  A clip with no waveform may not play 95% of the time, but then occasionally will suddenly have the waveform and play a couple times before reverting back to no audio.
    A suitable solution for this personal amusement project would just be to drop a new soundtrack over the thing but, before I even got that far, I tried exporting as avi's and mpeg4's but then get error messages such as:
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    [..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-785]
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    In case it was a memory issue, I tried starting a new project, only importing 2 videos, but had the same audio and exporting issues.
    I'm getting really frustrated as I spent a lot of time importing/subclipping and then even more time prepping before that.
    For those who are bound to ask, while new to Premiere, I'm not a novice with editing.  I've used Final Cut Pro at work for many years (without such issues).
    Thanks for your help.

  • Remove audio from imported video

    Hi guys!
    Tried to search for this feature, but did not find anything on it.
    Is it possible to remove the audio from an imported video clip (FLV) in Captivate 5.5? I want to replace it with another recording.
    Thanks,
    Victor

    Hi,
    This is not possible inside Captivate tool. But you can achieve the same using 'Adobe Media Encoder' tool (AME) which gets installed as a part of Captivate installation.
    1. Launch AME and insert the FLV file
    2. Go to output format settings and look for "Export options"
    3. uncheck the "Audio" option
    4. Start the encoding process to get a newly encoded FLV file.
    You can use this in your Captivate projects and then add a new audio file as per your needs.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Mukul
