How do I collapse audio tracks

I'm in FCP X 10.1 and can't figure how to collapse the audio so the black line is remove above the track so I can do cut without getting out of sync (see right side of image). Here's what it looks like. PS what is the view called and how did it happen.

Are you talking about this black bar?
You can't remove that. It's the shelf that connects the secondary storyline that's created when the audio cross fade transition is applied. It connects the two pieces of audio that were separate connected clips, connected to the multicam clip on the primary storyline. It looks like you detached the multicam clip audio from the multicam clip.

How do you combine audio tracks in quicktime 10.2

Students in my class recorded some voice overs in multipe clips. We want to combine them into one track in quicktime 10.2. However the choice to copy the track is grayed out. How can we combine the tracks into one in quicktime 10.2?

You don't. Use QT 7 Pro or GarageBand instead. (Video editors will also merge multiple audio tracks but they are likely more limited than QT 7 Pro which allows up to 99 data tracks.) GarageBand, also based on older QT 7 Pro technology, allows you to segment tracks, set track or selected track segment volumes to duck track or track segments, adjust or "rubberband" master track volumes, adjust stereo pan for track or selected track segments as well as, "slide" tracks or track segments along the time axis and apply numerous enhancements beyond my ability to even remember here.

How to disable the audio track in QT Pro Movie Recording

I have a device that allows me to record DVI video (1900x1200 uncompressed) into QuickTime Pro through the Movie Recording function. It all works very well except I am trying to record video only (it's the video output of a medical device, so there is no sound). In QT pro preferences, the choices for audio input are "automatic", built-in microphone", or "line-in". I need the choice of "none" (at these files sizes I need all of the CPU's resources working on the video to improve continuity and frame rate). Does anyone know of a script to disable the audio recording portion, or how I might write one? I have never written script before, but that won't stop me from trying to learn how (or rather, launching into a prolonged period of trial and error).
I am also going to approach this by nagging the video device manufacturer, but they are more Windows- centric (they do support Mac OS X and some Linux platform so all hope is not lost). However, it would be easier if I could have more control over my own destiny, and Mac folk seem to be much more helpful.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

First, thanks for the quick reply.
Setting the audio option to line-in with nothing plugged in yields the same results. The device (which is essentially a continuous frame grabber) doesn't have any audio feed at all, and I think that is what is confusing QuickTime. The file I record generates one video track and several sequential audio tracks that start at roughly every 4 seconds. The movie info say that these are Big Endian Stereo L&R tracks, and that have virtually no file size to speak of. Audibly there is nothing. However, the constant "start over" with the audio is causing 2-3 second skips in the video. When the video is recording contiguously, the frame rates are on the order of 15 to 20 fps, which at 1900x1200 is fantastic for what I am doing (software training video of a Linux-based medical device; nothing cool like Snapz available for this beast).
By the way, I have tried Hack TV Carbon, hTV 0.2 and QT Broadcaster, all which will recognize the device as an input source, but not choose it. These would let me deselect the audio input. As mentioned, I am prodding the device manufacturer for help, too, so maybe they will come up with something to address this.
The other thing is that this device creates a video stream that is transferred by USB2. If it was a Firewire device, I would be all over this with iMovie HD or a HD Video recorder, and just be done with it. Apple may have to come up with some universal driver to accept USB video in since they have dropped FW on some of the new models, but this frame grabber isn't on the list as of now.
No real solution I can find to convert USB to Firewire.
Anyway, I am hoping that somehow I could get into the QT script and just disable the audio recording, like the old "save as Un-editable" script would pullout the "save" function of the QuickTime action.
Of course, dumping the audio tracks after the fact doesn't fix the video; once it's chopped up coming in...
I suspect that the real answer to this issue lies with the frame grabber manufacturer. But, I am still hopeful that the QuickTime Script writers out there (or the Terminal folks) may have something up their sleeves.
Thanks for noticin' me.

How to play multiple audio tracks simultaneously?

Hi there,
I am having problem with playing multiple audio tracks. I want to play 2 or more audio tracks at exact time (without delay) - is it possible? how can it be done?

So, essentially, you're trying to take a recording of say, a singer and a guitar player, and end up with the singer in one file and the guitar in the other. Got it.
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/Merge.html]
That sample will merge multiple input files into a single file. Because you want to play the files together rather than save them, just take the sample and strip out all of the DataSink stuff, and add the following line right after the Processor "outputProcessor" is realized...
outputProcessor.setContentDescriptor(null);
So, it'll make the following revision to the code:
     // Create the output processor
     ProcessorModel outputPM = new MyPMOut(merger);
     try {
         outputProcessor = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(outputPM);
                    outputProcessor.setContentDescriptor(null);
         outputDataSource = outputProcessor.getDataOutput();
     } catch (Exception exc) {
         System.err.println("Failed to create output processor: " + exc);
         System.exit(-1);
     }That'll make the outputProcessor play the file, as if it was a Player object. You won't have any visual controls, but if you need visual controls, then don't do that, and just create a Player object to play the outputDataSource.

Opened FCP Clip In STP . . . Now How Do I Add Audio Tracks?

I have opened an FCP 6 video clip in STP and the video and 2 audio tracks are facing me.
I want to get rid of the clip's audio tracks and replace them with tracks on which I am going to create a musical background.
I am not concerned about deleting the original audio tracks as I can mute them back in FCP but I would like to add some new tracks for the music.
It was dead simple in the old Soundtrack 1.5 but how do I do it in STP ?

I'm on STP 2.0.2 and page 409 doesn't seem to have anything relevant but your sentences do!
I tried "Send to STP Multitrack Project" and that seems to fit the bill.
So why didn't I try it earlier? I made an assumption . . . . . I assumed that "multitrack" was synonymous with "multicam" and as I wasn't exporting a multicam file, it would not be appropriate.
It's not the first time I have been tripped up by terminology.
Thanks for nudging me in the right direction, Paul.

How do I send audio tracks to an Aux channel

I want to send 3 channels of back up vocal to an Aux channel.
An Aux channel has Sends, which a Bus does not. I EQ and set the levles on each channel. Then after I have a good blending mix, I would like to send them to an Aux channel and use a compressor & limiter.
The point is to send the processed vocals from the Aux to a Bus that has a good reverb and then turn the send knob depending on how much of the backup vocals I want to send to the reverb on the Bus channel, and also that I can assign other channels to that bus too. When I click under the I/O on one of the channels, there are only Bus options.
How can I get vocals in to an Aux channel and control the volume, compression, and limiting and then send them to a Bus?

Route your audio track to bus 1 (for example) . . . now on an Aux object, set it's input as Bus 1. Now you are free to use the Sends on Aux 1 (to a different Bus) as you see fit.

How do you keep audio tracks connected to a video track?

I mostly keep the audio and video of captured clip together, in synch. When I put a clip on the timeline, the audio tracks become disconnected from the video track. This is happening regularly and I can't get on with the edit. Every time I move a clip, the audio gets separated from the video. I think something is wrong with my setup. How can I set the project up so that the audio tracks stay with the video track until I unlock them?

I am running into another effect which I don't understand.
I select the video of a clip in the timeline. Then I shift click the stereo audio. This connects the audio and video (which I never separated in the first place). Then when I move the video+audio clip, the clip is copied, which I do not want. I must have turned on something that I don't want. Maybe this has something to do with my linking problem. Shift L did not solve the problem yet, but I need to experiment with it more.

How do I assign audio tracks to different stereo outputs?

There doesn't seem to be a menu option on my Audio Track Mixer...

When working with a stereo sequence there is only one stereo output. If you want more tham one you will need a multi channel master. When creating that sequence you can chose how many output channels you need. They will be mono outputs but in the track mixer you will be able to pan between selected odd and even channels.

How to combine Razored Audio Tracks?

Hi, I just razored up a big track into chunks to move around..
Now how exactly do I mold them together so I can export to Soundbooth to DeNoise?
Or I guess I should have done that in the beginning huh?

I use Craig's method, and then just Import the adjusted WAV into PrPro, placing it on a new Audio Track, even if I have to create one. Then, I just Mute the original Audio Track with the Razored Clips, or Delete them. I'll usually leave them Muted, just in case.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to export unmixed audio tracks

I'm trying to export unmixed master edits so I can easily re-edit at a later date, but whenever I try the result is mixed. I thought there was a simple way to pan tracks for export
G4 Powerbook; Sony 1500A Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you're just trying to export each track to it's
own individual file, here's how to do it:
Go to your Sequence Settings>Audio Outputs
Set the Audio Outputs to the same number as you have
audio tracks (8 tracks, 8 outputs).
Set them to Dual Mono (not stereo).
Save settings, go back to your sequence.
Control Click in the track target area of each
individual audio track. The top item in the
contextual menu is Audio Output. Set each track to
it's own output.
File>Export>Audio to AIFF
Select Channel Grouped
Now you'll get an AIFF for each track in your
sequence.
Thanks. Is there a way to export a audio/video Quicktime with mono tracks 1 & 2?

How to edit both audio tracks with video that has two tracks?

I have video that has 2 tracks with it. Both however are marked ch. 1 on the premiere timeline. The properties say they are 48000 hz audio. Now when i hilight both tracks and right click to edit in Audition, only one comes over. I am wondering a few things here. Why are they both the same channel and how can i edit both of them at once since they ae exactly the same in Audition? Do i even need both tracks?

Well, that's another nasty problem with multicam editing in PP. It cuts only the video but not both. The audio track is always that of the first selected clip (of that in the first video track) when I create a multicam sequence. I have manually to open it in the timeline, enable or disable certain audio tracks, go back to the sequence and cut. But when I have to switch the audio for only some camera angles it is impossible, because I can only change the audio track for the whole sequence. Or do I miss something? Maybe it is another cool "design feature"?

How to quiet multiple audio tracks

I have 6 seperate video tracks (multiple angels of the same event). I used the suggestions given to me before on how to synch up all the footage. My problem is I can't figure out how to silence all but one video track so I can mark where the synch spot is (an air horn). When I click the green button next to the audio track, it unrenders the audio, so that isn't an option. I only need the audio to mark the synch spots, then I can delete it as I have a tape of just the audio through the PA system. Any suggestions?

I think rendering the audio has to do with the way I import to FCE. This is how I bring video into FCE because it seems to be the only way I can get it to work. I run my video camera through a digital coverter which runs a firewire into my Mac. I then import the video into imovie. After that is done, I do a drag and drop of the imovie into FCE. I have to render the audio because it just beeps if I don't when I play it back in FCE. I tried using the video capture in FCE but it keeps telling me it is unable to capture (my gues is the cameras are too old and the digital converter in not compatable with FCE or Mac). So once the video and audio footage is in FCE, if I click the green button on the left hand side, my rendered audio becomes a red line. However, I can click the same button on the upper video portion, and it drops the video out so I can see video clips on the lower levels and not just the first one on top. So that's why I render the audio. I can see all twelve audio tracks already. Tom- would making the change you suggest still help? Great book by the way also.

How to add more audio tracks to my environment ? i forgot !!

Hi. I dont see this in the Logic Ref guide.
In my previous autoload (made through the initial setup assistant) , i had selected 24 audio tracks. My current project requires more tracks , how can i add more tracks to the environment in this project.
I havent done this in so long , i forgot.
In the Environment , i choose AUDIO layer , then New Audio Object , i'm lost from here on.....
Please help. I'll try and find this in the manual aswell.
Thanks a lot
Faisal

Hi
If you want to do it the easy way:
Go to the arrange page, go to the smaller menu labelled 'Track' and select 'create multiple' then choose what you want (mono, stereo or audio instrument). Voila.
This will add the extra tracks to your environment too. If it doesn't happen then check your audio preferences for max number of audio tracks and adjust accordingly.
