How do I export detached audio files as separate files, for Pro Tools processing?

My project is a live band performance. I have every song as a separate Event with associated audio. I have detachd all the audio from all the video Events. I now want to Export the audio files to Pro Tools for editing, then Import the edited audio back into FCP X and snap the edited audio to the associated video Events.
My problem is this: FCP X keeps exporting the audio as a single large WAV file, rather than as separate WAV files. In fact, the video events are separate, and so the audio associated with the video Events are separate.
I first renamed the Role of every audio file as "Music", then did a Share --> Export Media of all "Music" audio Roles. After exporting, I found it was one large WAV file, rather than separate files of different sizes.
As a 2nd try, I created Sub-Roles for each audio clip, and named each one with a distinct Sub-Role name. I then Exported all these Sub-Roles (yes, tedious). The result was that every exported WAV file was the same size, the same as the file size in my first try. The only audio that could be heard in each file was the audio in that particular song, but FCP X still created the very large file with silence in all the rest of the file. Since the file lengths don't match the original audio fil lengths, there will be a problem when I Import the edited files back into FCP X and want to Snap them into place.
Question:
How can I export the individual detached audio clips as separate files, the length of each file equaling the length of the original audio file in FCP X?
Do I need to separate the detached audio into separate Layers visually in the Project Timeline, so they are not touching? Or does this matter?
Help!!

No.
You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.

How can I slide detached audio left/right in sample increments, rather than frame increments?

I exported a detached audio file from FCP X to Pro Tools for processing, and I have now imported the processed audio file back into FCP X.
I need to align the processed audio clip with the original audio clip. I am using View --> Zoom to Samples, and can see the amount I need to slide/nudge the processed clip in the Timeline. The problem is that the mis-alignment is smaller than a frame. This sounds small, but it is visually clear when you play the video/audio that the video and audio are not aligned.
Question:
How can I elect to slide the audio left/right in the timeline in increments of the audio samples, rather than in increments of video frames?
Since FCP X allows you to view the audio in Samples, it certainly must somehow let you slide/nudge the audio in Samples........I just haven't found it.

Let's be clear about one thing. There is no way on earth any human being can percieve a one frame discrepancy in sync at a frame rate of 24fps or higher. Going to increments smaller than one frame, while it can be done, makes no difference to the way the media is viewed. Presumably your viewer will not have the benefit of multiple synced waveforms as a guide.
It sounds like you have an alignment problem in ProTools. This should be a incredibly simple to fix in that application.
The problem may laos be one of sample rate difference. What are the specs of your export audio file from FCP and the specs of your imported replacement file coming from ProTools. They should line up exactly if the sample rates are identical.

How do you export separate audio tracks for Pro Tools?

I need to give separate audio tracks to my sound mixer but am confused on how to do so in FCP X.
So far I've:
Set the dialogue roles and stems for each character
Then I went into Master File>Settings
Selected:
"Format: Audio Only"
"Audio File Format: Wav File"
"Roles as: Audio only as separate files"
"Dialogue"
Sara
"Stereo"
And when I export and listen back to the wav file, there is either no audio or I hear select dialogue.
The only thing I can think of that I am doing wrong, is that each characters dialogue is not on the same track like the picture below. The tracks highlighted is of one character's dialogue that I am trying to export onto one linear track to export into Pro Tools.
Can tracks be assigned in FCP X? Or is there a crucial step that I am forgetting tthat explains why the audio for each character is not being exported.
Thanks!

If you're dumping audio for ProTools, you should be able to export XML for use in PT. Haven't done it myself, but the option's been there for a while now. You should be able to find instructions easily.
If you want to stick with making Roles work, I suggest making sure the roles are assigned properly to each clip. Kind of a super pain in the neck, to go one by one, but ... that's the way. There are key commands for the three default roles, but if you've created custom ones then it's more time consuming. Is that 'Sara' one a custom Role that you've created?
My only thought is you have compound audio clips there. Maybe go in and set the roles on the individual files inside the compound clips. Dunno...
The visual organization shouldn't matter (one track above another). That's the X way.
((In your picture, you say you have some files selected. When I select, I get a yellow border; yours are light green and dark green. What is that?))

How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file suitable for SolidWorks?

Hi
Can anyone help?
How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file, without SolidWorks enlarging the file & converting every curve into hundreds of short little straight lines rather than a single continuous line/s.
I have made sure the file is ungrouped or has any compound paths or colours.
Opening it in Autocad 2010 still converts the DWG file into hundreds of short little straight lines!
The file is needed to laser cut out an aluminium shape using SolidWorks 2008 (Metal soft)?
Formats they can handle are:
DWG, DXF, IGES, IGA
There must be a way to export it without re-drawing the whole design in Soildworks again!!??
Can anyone help?
INCA

Not really. This is a limitation you will have to live with. Unless you are extremely careful, most paths will be converted to polyline segments by AI and in particular in AI CC this is somehow busted, so it happens more often. You might have much more luck opening a native AI file in DraftSight or a 2D CAD program like TurboCAD and exporting a DWG or 2D IGES/ STEP file from there. The sizing issue is a different matter, but without knowing what units you actualyl used, nobody can advise.

Sonnox plug-ins for Pro Tools / Audio restoration

Is anyone using the Sonnox plug-ins for Pro Tools for audio restoration? If so, what is your opinion?

Welcome to the world of Logic !
I would recommend the M-Tron Pro and VSE both from G force for strings , flutes , etc. http://www.gforcesoftware.com/index.php
And Maybe some very simple less polished sounding sample libraries for bass and drums which you could load right into the esx-24 sampler in logic ,but I can't recommend any since A: thats not my style so I don't know the names of some I've heard and B: Sample libraries are a very personal choice.
I would recommend that if it looks flashy it's probably not going to produce than salt of the earth sound your after though .

Edit & export audio segments as separate files?

Hi,
I'm cutting up recordings of PowerPoint presentations into separate clips, one per slide. I am wondering how I can edit on the timeline, then mark each slide, master the audio, and export one clip per marker. Is that segmenting done from Premiere, or is it an option to export one file per marker within Media Encoder? How?
Or, do I need to use subclips instead? Please don't say I need to do a sequence for each slide (or would that be less messy than it sounds?).
Or should I do this editing in Soundbooth instead, since the editing is basically audio-driven? How's segmenting done there?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin -
It's funny... We are doing the exact same thing that you are. We are recording webinars, chunking up the audio into individual files according to PPT slides, and putting the audio back into the PPT presentation so they can be played back as the presentation initially aired. We're also exporting the reconstituted presentations as standalone webcasts that people watch online.
Okay - here's how we're doing it... I record the webinar's audio and video (Camtasia for audio and GoToWebinar's built-in .WMV recorder for video). I make a new project in Premiere and import both the video and audio. I only use the .wmv for visual reference (to know exactly where to split the long audio clip). I go through the audio clip and do an Alt + [ to mark the left side of the work area (essentially the In point) and Alt + ] to mark the right slide of the work area (essentially the Out point). I then split the clip at the out point (Control + K) in case I have to go back and re-edit or re-export later. Once I have my slide's audio marked with a work area, I go to file, export, media. This launches Adobe Media Encoder. In AME, I make .mp3s of each slide's audio. I then reinsert the .mp3s in the PPT presentation.
What I would LIKE to do is put chapter or Flash markers at the end of each slide's audio and then have it chunk up the clips for me based on the markers. The quest to do that led me to this post. I'll let you know if I find out any info on how to do that, but for now, the process is pretty manual and time-consuming. I am a long-time Avid editor, and that offers no solution either. What have you found with Final Cut?
Something also that may work for you (but not for us for various reasons) is iSpring Presenter's sync function. This allows you to bring in the entire audio clip and put it on the first PPT slide. Then you click a stopwatch icon when the audio is supposed to go to a different slide. This syncs up your audio and PPT for you. No more Premiere. Here is specific info on how to do that. It works great. We don't use it because we have to cut back into the presentation with live audio. But it may work great for what you're doing.

How can I export speech analysis text with imbedded timecodes for the creation of subtitle files?

I found a script that allows you to export all your text layers with time codes as a .srt subtitle file. However, instead of multiple text layers, I have only one: essentially the meta data from Premiere speech analysis that with the aid of a different script, is being used at a "subtitle layer". Essentially, I'm trying to use this data to create a .srt file so I can create actual subtitles, not this hybrid animation/text layer.
Here is the script I used to export the text layer to .srt:
Subtitle Exporter v01
Script by Philipp Grolle
www.display-artists.de
Instructions:
Select all the Text Layers you want to export, run the script, and save the file as .srt
Attention: The Script has not been debugged or testet. Try it on your own risk!
// get all the selected Layers
var theComp = app.project.activeItem;
var alleLayer = theComp.selectedLayers;
// count how many layers are selected
var anzahlLayer = alleLayer.length;
// Enable the line below if you want to change the order of your text (ascending / descending)
/* alleLayer.reverse(); */
   // prompt to save file
   var theFile = File.saveDialog("Save the text file.", "untitled.txt", "TEXT txt");
   // if user didn't cancel...
   if (theFile != null) {
      // open file for "w"riting,
      theFile.open("w","TEXT","????");
         // Do it for all the selected Layers
         for (x = 0; x < anzahlLayer; x++)
             // get In- and Outpoint of the current Layer and convert to timecode (00:00:00:00)
            var timecodeIn = timeToCurrentFormat(alleLayer[x].inPoint, 25);
            var timecodeOut = timeToCurrentFormat(alleLayer[x].outPoint, 25);
           // split the value of the inPoint; converting last 2 characters (frames) to milliseconds, and finally join it again with comma instead of colon
            var str_in= timecodeIn;
            var timeCodeAnfang_in=str_in.slice(0,8);
            var timeCodeEnde_in=str_in.slice(9,11);
            var millisek_in = timeCodeEnde_in*40; // 1000 milliseconds divided by 25 fps = 40
            var zusammen_in = timeCodeAnfang_in +"," + millisek_in;
            //split the value of the outPoint; converting last 2 characters (frames) to milliseconds, and finally join it again with comma instead of colon
            var str_out= timecodeOut;
            var timeCodeAnfang_out=str_out.slice(0,8);
            var timeCodeEnde_out=str_out.slice(9,11);
            var millisek_out = timeCodeEnde_out*40;
            var zusammen_out = timeCodeAnfang_out +"," + millisek_out;
            //counter for the number above the timecode (in the results)
            var zaehler = x+1;
            //writing the results to file
            theFile.write(zaehler);
            theFile.write("\r\n");
            theFile.write(zusammen_in);
            theFile.write(" --> ");
            theFile.write(zusammen_out);
            theFile.write("\r\n");
            theFile.write(alleLayer[x].property("Source Text").value);
            theFile.write("\r\n\n");
      // close the text file
      theFile.close();
      // open text file in default app
      theFile.execute();
As I am only using one text layer, it shows me only one continious subtitle in the .srt file. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I should add that I myself am not particularly familiar with scripts or scripting, I'm merely trying all possible solutions to my problem and this seems to be a good approach. Any help would be much appreciated.

How can I export an audio track with just the effect signal without the audio?

I want to export dry audio tracks and their effects signals as separate tracks. For instance a track with a reverbed snare would be one track with the dry snare and one with just the reverb.
I know from people who use Reason that it's just a box you need to tick, but I'm struggling to find out how to do it in Logic. Surely it must be a way?

I don't remember Reason being that straight forward, but the obvious way to go, is to mute all sends and bounce.
Then solo the reverb channel, in aux, checking it isn't shared by other sources, and bounce. You should have a dry and a reverbed signal, at your convenience.

How can we export table data to a CSV file??

Hi,
I have the following requirement. Initially business agreed upon, exporting the table data to Excel file. But now, they would like to export the table data to a CSV file, which is not being supported by af:exportCollectionActionListener component.
Because, when i opened the exported CSV file, i can see the exported data sorrounded with HTML tags. Hence the issue.
Does someone has any solution for this ... Like, how can we export the table data to csv format. And it should work similar to exporting the data to excel sheet.
For youre reference here is the code which i have used to export the table data..
><f:facet name="menus">
><af:menu text="Menu" id="m1">
><af:commandMenuItem text="Print" id="cmi1">
><af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
>title="CommunicationDistributionList"
>filename="CommunicationDistributionList"
>type="excelHTML"/> ---- I tried with removing value for this attribute. With no value, it did not worked at all.
></af:commandMenuItem>
></af:menu>
></f:facet>
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Alex,
I have already visited that POST and it works only in 10g. Not in 11g.
I got the solution for this. The solution is :
Use the following code in jsff
==================
<af:commandButton text="Export Data" id="ctb1">><af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="text/csv; charset=utf-8"
>filename="test.csv"
>method="#{pageFlowScope.pageFlowScopeDemoAppMB.test}"/>
></af:commandButton>
OR
<af:commandButton text="Export Data" id="ctb1">><af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8"
>filename="test.csv"
>method="#{pageFlowScope.pageFlowScopeDemoAppMB.test}"/>
></af:commandButton>
And place this code in ManagedBean
======================
> public void test(FacesContext facesContext, OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException {

How can I export a Video while keeping separate Audio Channels?

I'm trying to export some AVCHD footage and convert to ProRes. However, I do not want to mix the left and right channels together so that they both end up playing the same audio in the ProRes file. I have audio from one mic on Channel 1 and audio from another mic on Channel 2, and I would like to keep that once the video files is exported. I'm new to Premiere Pro so instead of spending an hour trying to figure it out myself I was hoping someone could help me out.
Thanks,
Mike

Right on. Now, the technical explanation, so you know what's going on:
Your footage imported with dual mono tracks--whether it was recorded that way or mapped that way on import, only you can say. When you dropped it into a sequence (or on the New Item button), the source audio tracks were placed in mono sequence tracks, but the sequence has a stereo master track. When the audio from these tracks is routed from the sequence tracks to the master tracks, since it's mono and by default panned center, it outputs to both output channels equally. By panning the mono tracks hard left and hard right, respectively, you're essentially isolating each of those tracks to a particular output channel.
Had your audio been shot as stereo or if you had remapped the dual mono tracks (right-click the clip in the bin before using it in a sequence and go to Modify > Audio Channels) to function as the two channels of a stereo clip, you could have dropped the clip into a stereo sequence track, and the separation would have maintained (assuming the sequence was using a stereo master track). This is a viable solution, too, but may limit your editing a bit more since instead of two separate mono audio tracks, you're working with one stereo audio track.
Either way will work; experiment to decide which will work best for your workflow.
