How do I control the number of audio tracks in an exported QT movie?

I am at a loss. I have 59.94 fps DVCProHD files that I want to trim and to export in the same format. The original clips have two tracks of audio, but the exported tracks have eight tracks of audio. I normally use an 8-track audio card, but nothing I do seems to prevent the 8-track export: I have selected "stereo downmix" in the audio mixer tool and set the audio playback device to "Built-in Audio," to no avail. I want the exported files to have the same two audio tracks as the original, not two plus an empty six. There seem to be no controls that allow me to specify this. Can anyone explain to me what is going on and how to change it?
Thanks.
I am using FCP 5.0.4
G5 Dual2.7GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

Hello Robert,
It might be that your sequence is set to output 8 channels. try this...
Go to Sequence>Setting> and go to the 'Audio Outputs' tab. Here, change the 'Outputs' to 2.
You might also want to check the track-assign buttons on the timeline, ctrl+click on the auto assign square (just to the right of the little padlocks) and go to the Audio Outputs. Check that each track is assigned to 1&2.

  • How do I reduce the number of audio channels in the source or export settings?

    I'. trying to export my finished edit through the "movie" setting but keep getting the message that the number of audio channels to create in the exported file must be equal to, or less than the number of channels in the source. Reduce the number of audio channels in the source. Reduce the number of audio channels in the export settings. I am at a loss as to what this means and how I proceed with it prior to putting it to DVD. Please advise.

    What is your source, sequence settings and export setting. Which version of PP?
    Prefebly a screendump of the export settings box.

    Hi, billwalker1125,
    Skype does not determine when to send calls to voice mail by the number of rings, but instead by the amount of time that has elapsed.  Check your settings (in Windows, it would be Tools -> Options -> Calls -> Voice Messages -> Start recording a voice message if ...   Remember to Save your changes!

  • How can you control the order of video tracks?

    I have an iDVD project with an intro movie (movie played when the disc is first inserted), 5 20 minutes videos (each of which is an individual iMovie project with chapter markers, but the videos are meant to be watched in order 1, 2, 3, 4, then 5), and an addition 5 minute video. When I created the disk image, I noticed it started encoding the last of the 20 minute videos and then seemed to encode the rest of the videos in random order.
    I burned the disk image to DVD and started watching it in my DVD player. When you watch the first 20 minute video, when it finishes you return to the menu so you can choose the second 20 minute video. But, if you scene skip through a 20 minute video on the last scene, it takes you to the next track. The problem is the tracks are all in random order. So instead of scene skipping to the next 20 minute video, it takes me to the intro video, then to 20 minute video, ect. It's all out of order.
    My question is does anyone know how to control track order? Is the track order the order in which the videos are encoded? (It seems to that is the case.) I tried inserting the videos into the iDVD project in the order I wanted them, but I don't know if that will work or not. The assets all appear in random order in the Project Info window.

    I would like to know also. I have made many DVDs, but the number order does seem to be random. For presentation purposes I want to play a specific clip by hitting it's corresponding number on the DVD player remote when the DVD is at a complete stop (so if I put the movie clip in the 2 spot and hit the number 2 on the remote, then the 2 movie clip will play). I can get this to work from the menu by dropping them in iDVD in the order I want and waiting for each to encode before dropping the next, but at a complete stop I cannot ensure number 2 on the remote will play number 2 on the DVD. To me it looks like iDVD gives those numbers in the order in which the audio is encoded when burning, with the shorter clips first and longer ones last.
    Can anyone help me?

  • How do I control the number of threads?

    I'm currently writing parts of a GUI front-end in Swing for an extremely resource-hungry C back-end. I built the thing out on the basic two-thread (main and event) protocol that all of the literature talks about. The initial plan was to have a number of somewhat different versions of this thing being called independently to serve as micro-GUIs for different parts of the back end. It was working pretty well by itself, but it caused some noticeable slowdown in the main program once I tried to bring up two of them, and some thread-tracking software has informed me that each of these calls is costing me on the order of 27-28 threads. Is there anything I can do about this thread count? Is it normal? Would building all of the versions into a single .jar with internal switching at least limit the damage? If it's not normal, what should I be looking for to bring it back down? I have not explicitly spawned or dealt with any threads other than main and event.
    If it is any help, the basic format is a JFrame containing a number of JPanels, some of which have a few subpanels. Some of the panels are swapped in and out of visibility by button presses. If the JPanels are somehow automatically creating event threads for themselves, is there any way I can limit that, perhaps by forcing them to use the event thread of the parent?
    Thank you for your time.
    Fibula

    IF you're talking GUI, and you were, yes you can definitely reduce thread count by running everything in the same jvm

  • Number of audio tracks

    Hi everyone.
    I'm using Core Audio Mac Os X with and apogee mini me. I've changed the number of audio tracks from 40 to 50 in my audio configuration window but when I try to create a new track after no. 40 by SHift Ctrl Return as normal: No New Track! SImilarly, in the scroll down list of possible tracks only forty are specified, not fifty as I have told the configuration panel I need. Does anyone have an idea how I can get more tracks, I need 'em right now!
    Thanks in advance.
    Ben.

    Thanks a bunch, guys: That works!
    If you've got a moment can you tell me one more thing...
    Now I've got these new tracks, how can I make them come in between track 40 and Audio Instrument No.1 in my mixer...Right now, I've put them under tracks 1 - 10 ....
    It's just a layout thing, but if you had a moment I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks again!

  • How to control the number of fields in the Advanced mode in af:query

    Hi,
    How to control the number of fields in the Advanced mode in <af:query>?
    Say i have 20 fields in my table and i created a view criteria with 2 fields. It would work perfectly in Basic mode. But in the Advanced mode all other fields selection is possible on clicking the ADD Fields button. I did not want the client to make a search with all 20 fields. Only 10 fields are to be listed in the Advanced Mode even though there are 20 fields in my table.
    How do i control the list of fields in ADDFields button?
    Any ideas?
    KR

    You can uncheck the Querable property of the attributes which you need not show up in the Advanced Mode (but they will not show up in other modes too !) or programatically set the same as mentioned here -
    http://adfcodebits.blogspot.com/2010/11/bit-27-setting-view-object-attributes.htmlAlso you can hide the AddFields button as suggested here - http://www.notjustjava.com/2011/12/cool-tips-to-showhide-components-of-the-query-control-of-adf/

  • How to control the number of instances of an object ?

    Hi all,
    Can anybody answer, How to control the number of instances of an object being created?
    suppose at any point of time, if i would like to have 5 instances at the maximum, how can i disable the further requests?
    Thanks in advance

    write a factory method that controls the number of instances for you:
    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.Arrays;
    public class Bar
       private static final int MAX_BARS = 5;
       private static int numBars = 0;
       private int id;
       public static void main(String [] args)
          try
             int numBars = ((args.length > 0) ? Integer.parseInt(args[0]) : MAX_BARS+1);
             Bar [] bars = new Bar[numBars];
             for (int i = 0; i < bars.length; ++i)
                bars[i] = Bar.create();
             System.out.println(Arrays.asList(bars));
          catch (Exception e)
             e.printStackTrace();
       private Bar() { this.id = numBars++; }
       public String toString() { return "I am bar number " + this.id; }
       public static Bar create()
          Bar nextBar = null;
          if (numBars < MAX_BARS)
             nextBar = new Bar();
          return nextBar;

    Hi Mike,
    If you're ever curious about what drivers that you have installed, you can view it using Measurement & Automation Explorer (Start » All Programs » National Instruments » Measurement & Automation Explorer).  Once their, navigate to My System » Software, and you'll find NI ELVISmx along with it's version.  
    This behavior that you're seeing is a known issue, filed under Corrective Action Request (CAR) #373017.  For now, the number of points per decade will remain at 5.  Please wait for the next update of NI-ELVISmx to see if this is fixed.

  • How do I increase the number of lines presented in a drop down list?

    If you are taking about an interface on a website, this is up to the ui designer. But there is a reflow that depends on screensize for the Firefox UI.

  • How can I control the order of playback on MuVu Mix (USB 2.

    What determines the order of playback of music files stored on the MuVu Mix (USB 2.0)? How can I control the order?
    Apparently it is not name order. The music titles are prefixed by sequential numbers. But that is not the order that the files play back.
    I tried erasing all contents, then copying the files one by one to the MuVo Mix in the order that I want them to play back (name order). But that is not the order that the files play back.
    By the way, in both case, I removed the ".dat" file first. (I also tried keeping the ".dat" file, to no avail.)

    I did, and they confirmed (very quickly; kudos!) what you and I both expect: the play order is determined by the alphabetical order of the file names. The mistake was mine. I ass-u-me-d that the MSWin folder "Name ^" order was correct. I did not realize that it is not exactly alphabetical when the file name begins with a number (e.g, the track number). I had renumbered songs from a second CD by simply adding 00 to the track number. Thus, songs and 2 of the first CD are played after songs 08 and 09 of the second CD, as they should alphabetically, even though they appear in the order , 2, 08, 09 in the "Name ^" list. Klunk! Mea cupla!

    Here's my take on the same thing:
    Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
    Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

  • How do I modify the "Number of Pages" setting for an existing Master Page via javascript?

    I'm learning javascripting for InDesign and I have been tinkering with the stock scripts in the tutorials. I'm developing the ability set properties and such, playing with how Javascript works, and I wanted to change the number of pages in a master page as part of an exercise. Does anyone know how to do this? I have been able to add new masters, controlling the number of pages in them with this:
    myDocument.masterSpreads.add( {pagesPerSpread:2,} )
    but what I really want is to modify the master that InDesign automatically generates with a new document, to have 2 pages. Granted, I can just start off with a document with facing pages, but I don't really see the fun in that...

    Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted. Well, almost. I wish there were a way to simply set the number of pages in a master spread to a specific number the same way there is in the interface, but this will work just as well.
