[HELP] Originally only edited with 2 channels of audio on files now I need 4?!?

premiere pro cs6, already edited a film and need to add the sound. I have them synced with the 4 channel audio attached but the original edit the files only had 2 channels, how can import the new ones with the 4 channels back into the program and get the 4 channels in the timeline? The problem I'm having is that it was set up with only 2.
[Text formatting corrected.]

maybe this does a better job of explaining:
I edited a film without syncing the sound first, and the video files only had 2 audio channels. After syncing they have 4, but when I import them back into premiere it only allows me to use to of the audio channels, is there anyway to get them back in to premiere with all 4 channels attached.

Only getting one channel of audio with mic HELP

I had been using Garageband with the built in mic to do my podcasts. I just got some real gear.
Here is what I got... M Audio USB fast track, MXL V63MBP running on 10.3.9
I am only getting one channel of audio through the mic. I have the settings on the mixer right and I have gone in the sound preferences and made sure it was right.
On the track in garageband, I made sure that the real instrument settings were set to Stereo. I have been messing around with this thing for an HOUR and I am still only getting one channel of audio. I've done everything I've been able to come up with in google and still nothing works. If anyone has any ideas ,that would be swell because I'm beginning to think that the crappy built in mic on my mac is looking really good about now.

You're welcome.
The common confusion is that 'Stereo" means two speakers and "mono" means one. Stereo actually means two different signals going to the two speakers. Since a Mic is a mono input device, you set the track to mono so that the same sound comes out of both speakers. Enjoy --Hang

Multicam editing with multi-track audio?

Does anyone know how to do multicam editing with multi-track audio? Apparently, the multicam editor can only see Audio Track #1 in the Source Sequence. I tried mixing my original audio tracks #1, #2, and #3 (submixes) to the master audio track in the Source Sequence and if I listen to the new Multicam Sequence (the nested Source Sequence) all 3 original audio tracks are there (combined), but when I go to do the multicam edit in the multicam monitor window, I"m back to just Audio Track #1 of the Source Sequence and audio tracks #2 and #3 are missing ??? Thanks for your help!

I have run the gambit of different techniques. The one that is most efficient is listed in Colin Brougham's response number 9
There's a far easier way to do this: after you sync your angles, hold down Alt/Opt and select or lasso just the video portions of the clips, and nest those. The audio stays put, but the video moves into the nest, and you can then enable Multicam on the nested sequence.
One of the best things about this is that it circumvents Premiere Pro's totally BS "Render Required Files" nonsense.
I must admit the ALT lasso tip was one of the best features I have seen. Like a revelation when I discovered it some months ago while watching a tutorial about something not related. As far as the "Rendering required files" That was kicking my but for a while doing multicam editing. If you do edit both audio and video in multicam you might find the "Rendering required files" issue. Basically the problem stems from having a lot of cuts to process at the same time both audio and video. 1080P is a huge amount of data when you multiply it by four cameras plus multiple audio cuts and effects ,(audio gain, Deessing etc.) So Pre-rendering the audio by clicking in the main sync timeline and then at the top Click Sequence/Render Audio.This takes care of the issue when you are cutting multiple tracks at once. It is a good practice to work from a main sync sequence and then copy that to a new sequence preserving the main sequence as unchanged. I found the solution is to "render audio" only in the master sync sequence this will then pass through to all subsequent copies that are made "downstream" allowing you to easily clean up anything. If you make a mistake you can always start from the main sync sequence and not lose too much time. Takes a little bit of time to render but once that is done you can cut all tracks video and audio like butter. I have been doing a lot of 1080p multicam editing over this past year and had quite learning curve. Most of the work I do is multicam editing by choice it is much faster for me to edit this way because I am used to working in live events where we need to look at all shots at the same time make a "best choice" and keep rolling. Have fun with it!

Pictures edited with Photoshop becomes huge in file size

Hey,
Sometimes I like to edit my pictures with Photoshop if there are some things I need to remove etc. But after I save my picture from within Photoshop, it takes up like 70MB or something in my Aperture library. That's a lot for a single picture. Isn't there something to be done so they get down to around RAW-filesize level?
Or do I have to go the long way round and export first (as what?), then edit in Photoshop, save as JPEG, import to Aperture?

This issue of size is not Aperture, per se. If you open one of your RAW files saved directly from the camera to a folder on your Mac, then open with Photoshop, change to Mode settings to be 16 bit vs 8 bit, then Save As a TIFF, you will see the same size increase.
Aperture by default is working in 16 bit color, and that alone will increase TIFFs or PSDs by a factor of two.
Photoshop needs the image file to be either TIFF or PSD to accomplish and then save most edits that require Photoshop, and that you can later re-edit. If your edit requires layers, then you can flatten the image before saving to not pass that increase back into Aperture storage.
Although you can save your edited image as a JPEG in PS, there is no facility to directly pass this back to the Aperture Library.
I find little reason to use Photoshop for editing, unless I need to work with layers, btw, especially since Aperture 3.

Help -- Who has experience with ant and build.xml files ?

Hi,
I think my build.xml file is missing setting a classpath I need, but I have never played around with a build.xml file. Could someone help ?
Thank you.
Grazia

A lot of people here use ant. But not all of us can read your mind, and those of us that can are sadistic bastards that like to force people to provide details of their problems just for the hell of it.
So please do the following:
* Go through an ant tutorial or other introductory docs, doing an example or two if present.
* Set up your build.xml according to what you've learned.
* If it still doesn't work, post the relevant portions of it (hopefully you'll have a small, representative sample that reproduces the problem), along with your relevant directory and file structure, the command you're running, and what error messages you're getting.

New MBP with iPhone-like audio inputs. Do I need special adaptor?

I have a brand new MBP with the iPhone audio inputs/outputs. Do I need a special adaptor to use the speakers I was using before or can I just plug them in? How about for a microphone. IIRC those old ones were RCA plugs?

just realized i had made another post here long time back and it has a reply that covers what i need.

Exports for DVD only include left channel of audio! Help!!!

Hi, I just realized that the files that I have been exporting using compressor have been only exporting the left channel. I am not sure what the problem is and would appreciate any help anyone could give me, as I'm on a big deadline and need to solve this ASAP.
The way I've been doing it, is I right click on the sequence name in Final Cut Pro and select Export > Export Using Compressor. Then I selected the DVD Best Quality 90 Minutes option. The AIFF file that is created seems to only have audio in the left channel. The original files themselves are definitely stereo, and play both channels in Final Cut.
I really don't understand. The Inspector within Compressor shows this information for the AIFF file:
File Extension: aiff
Estimated file size: unknown
Audio Encoder: 16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
It says Stereo, so I don't know what the problem is! Please help!!!

In the Sequence Settings, I see this:
Downmix: 0
Grouping: Stereo
I also checked the Audio Mixer window and nothing seems to be muted or solo'd. A1 is panned all the way to the left, and A2 all the way to the right, but I'm guessing this is normal, and just the way that stereo channels are shown?
I'm not sure if I have downmix enabled--where do I check that?
On somebody else's suggestion, I tried exporting a non self-contained Quicktime movie from FCP and then dragged that into Compressor and it seems to solve the stereo issue. Not sure why it doesn't work going straight from FCP, but there must be something going on inside there...
Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it!

Efficient Way to Edit with Secondary/Independent Audio?

Hello community,
I do a lot of documentary package work and I've finally gotten fed up enough with my workflow to ask this question. Is it possible to efficiently edit in Premiere Pro when your primary source of audio is independent of your video?
For example I have an hour's worth of audio from an independent audio recorder. I sync multiple video clips up to the audio using PluralEyes. Then I import that XML into PP-CC.
From there I have an hour long sequence where I mute all but the independent audio track. And when my producer gives me a script that says to use the SOT from Clip 06: 01:23;01 - 02:01;00, I have to find Clip 06 in the "good audio" sequence timeline, then double click on it to bring it up in the source window, then put the timecode in the source window, set an in point so I have a reference in the sequence with the good sound, then note the sequence timecode so that I can use it when I put the sequence in the source window so that I can finally get it into my package sequence.
And after dropping a few different sequences worth of SOTs, PP takes forever to "Prepare the Audio."
For instance, I'm currently looking at Media Encoder for a minute long package which it telling me it's "Preparing Audio (40 or 517)". It will take a few hours to prepare that audio, then minutes to render.
I know I've got to be doing something, or perhaps many things wrong. Can anyone help my workflow?

Anyone have an answer to this?

HELP! Can someone with CS2 please save my file as a .inx file?

HELP! I have CS3 and I need to save an InDesign file created in CS3 as an .inx file that can be opened in CS. I found out the only way to do this is to open it in CS2 and export it as an .inx file, but I don't have CS2.
Will someone out there with CS2 save the file as an .inx file for me please if I e-mail it to you?
Thanks!

Click through my name for email info. But be warned that there may be serious text reflow due to the differences between the text engines, and anything using the features new in CS3 will be lost or badly damaged.

Help using FileMakerPro 12 with OS 10.6 and file sharing

This topic is posted here because it deals mostly with file sharing and OS 10.6.
A business wants one (and only one) computer on the network to have several FMP data files on employees, and then have five computers with FMP client software open and modify those files. Password protection is not important.
It seems that:
1. The Mac having those data files must have a fixed IP and that IP must be used by the accessing computers
2. File sharing turned on.
3. The data files should be in a folder in the SHARED folder of the Users folder
4. Proper privileges need to be assigned to that folder
QUESTIONS:
• 1. Is there any way for the guests to access the single computer without knowing the IP ? Must the IP of the host computer always be fixed ?
• 2. Can sign on be facilitated by placing an alias of the folder on the dektop of the guests and storing the password, such that the guest merely clicks on the alias and the folder opens displaying the data files on the host computer ?
• 3. Since licensed FMP will be on all of the computers, the data file should open up with the client software on each computer, and any changes saved bat to the host. Has there been any corruption by this technique ?
• 4. What happens if the host computer attempts access of one data file at the same time a guest is accessing ? Is access denied ?
• 5. In this setting, is "the Cloud" (with name and password protected web access) superior to local file sharing ?
They are on low bandwidth ADSL. The CEO of this business does not want to use "the Cloud" to host the data files, and doesn't want to use a stand alone local server.
Thank you.

Forget the above. They decided to manually transfer data files with USB thumb drives.

HELP! how do i remove old duplicate song files now iv moved my music?

I moved all my music from various folders into pretty much one place on my other hard drive to help clear some space. When i then re-added the folders to my library, I am left with apparently 2 versions of every song, but one version I assume is trying to access the file from the old location as it asks if i want to find the file manually becuase itunes can't find it. Is there any way at all to get rid of all of these files that don't contain songs, that doesn't involve clicking through every single song of my many thousands manually? It's making my life a misery even thikning about it.

Try ordering your songs by date added. The ones you just added will be at the top (or the bottom) - then you've just got to find where the newly added list stops and the old tracks begin and select all the tracks from then onwards. Sorted.
Hope that helps.
