How to Copy Audio Track onto 2nd Channel in iMovie '08

Hello,
Boy, I made a big mistake while recording video of my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. I accidentally recorded onto audio track #1 ONLY. Track #2 is empty. Consequently, I have audio in one speaker. Oops! It's an hour's worth of great 1080i HD footage, too.
I've done my edits, but is there a way to copy and paste the audio from one track to the other track? I know in Final Cut it can be done, but I don't have a copy. I'm only able to use iMovie '08 at this point. If the solution is in the iMovie help section, please let me know what the search word(s) is so I can go to it. I looked but couldn't find anything.
Huge thanks,
Jack

audio processing in iM08 is .. +very basic+ ..
the intended workflow is, to Share the project via MediaBrowser to Garageband .. which offers with its many tracks and pan controler to create a 'double channel mono'

How to replace audio track in mpg file (3,4 Gb) by mp3 fies? Without loosing video quality?

I've never used muxers under Linux, but you can try mpegdemux.
Take a look at Elecard Xmuxer Pro, for example – but that costs $$$. Look here and you may find a good, free Windows-based tool.

How to split audio tracks into left and right channels as we do in FCP or Avid needed for dubbing?

We are recording in two languages, one in left and the other in right channel. However, in Adobe Premiere Pro we are not able to split the track when we take up for rought cut. Both the tracks are found mixed. Pl help. Since we need to maintian the split track to dubb into other languages.

You need to do this before adding the footage to the sequence:
Select the clip (or multiple clips) in the bin
Menu > Clip > Modify > Audio Channels (Shift G)
Change 'Number of Audio Tracks' to 2
Change 'Channel Format' to Mono
Dismiss the info message.
When you place the clip in a sequence it will now drop L and R into separate tracks (assuming your sequence allows that audio model).

How to separate Audio tracks

Hi there
Yes, I know I'm a community expert so you mighty be wondering why one would be asking here, but not for Premeire Elements. This app is new to me!
I have a clip I've inserted into PE that was recorded with some odd stereo effect. I'm hoping there is an easy way to listen to each side of the stereo independently, decide which is the more pleasing of the two, then remove either the left channel or the right and fill in the opposite channel with the same audio.
I've unlinked the audio from the video but am unsure how to proceed from there.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
Cheers... Rick

Rick,
Not sure how I managed to do this in PE, but I managed to delete the existing audio track and bring back in the modified one.
I'm not sure either. Maybe brute force and a chisle to the monitor... ?
The easiest way, for next time, is to Import that new PCM/WAV into the Project with Get Media>Folders & Files. Then, Alt+click (you are on PC, aren't you?) on the original Audio Clip (or Audio Stream of a muxed file), and Delete. Then, drag your recently Imported PCM/WAV from the Project Panel to the now empty Audio Track, where the Deleted Audio Clip was. If you have Snap ON (the S key toggles that), as you get the Head of the PCM/WAV replacement file near that of the Video Clip, the Audio will "snap" ito place.
Glad that it worked for you.
As stated earlier, PE certainly lacks any form of being intuitive to use. I'm really shocked this is aimed at consumers! Couple that with the, ummm "less than stellar" help system and you really have a (cough) winning combo there!
Most of us here are in complete agreement with you. We are very fortunate to have a wonderful MOD, Steve Grisetti, who is also a prolific author, and most of his books are how to do things in PrElements (and PSElements in two cases). Steve has also done a Basic Training Series of tutorials and articles on Muvipix.com, a Web site that he co-founded. After one finishes with that, he has a complete Learning Series of tutorials and articles, though those are available by subscription to the site. The Basic Training Series is free.
Most subscribers here point to those, the books and tutorial series, to help new users get going. Of all the Adobe programs, that could benefit from a manual, PrE is definitely one. With PrPro, the user often has a good background in NLE video work, so it's easier to use the Help Files, as they are looking for how PrPro differs from, say AVID. With PrE, the user is often very fresh to NLE work, and so many show up here totally lost. I'd love to see Adobe strike a deal with Steve, to include a copy of his PrE book with every copy!
Good luck, and glad that we could help,
Hunt

Dropping an audio track onto a PSD file imported into Final Cut Express

I created a credits page for my video in Photoshop and then imported it into Final Cut Express (Version 1.0). I then duplicated part of an audio track from another sequence (My friend's father playing the organ), and dropped it onto the Photoshop credits sequence. It displayed and played nicely in Final Cut Express, but did not create an audio track which was visible within Final Cut Express. When I exported the sequence as a .mov file and then imported that into iDVD, it also displayed and played correctly in iDVD. But when I burned the DVD, there was no longer any audio with the credits. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much for your response. I selected and copied tracks A1 and A2 from one sequence and then pasted them into the credits (Photoshop) sequence. No audio tracks appeared in the Photoshop sequence, but we could hear the audio when we played the Photoshop sequence.
There was video associated with the original organ track, and we did not lock off the video when we dropped it into the Timeline, although there didn't seem to be any problem with the video. We did not Mixdown the audio either, although no audio tracks were displayed in the Photoshop sequence. I will try both of those things and see if it makes a difference. Thanks again.

Copying audio tracks only

I have a clip that the associated sound needs to be doubled, it's pretty faint... I need to get a higher volume level than what is available on the clip.
I'd like to try "doubling" that particular clips' audio, but can't seem to figure out a way to bring another copy of the audio.
When I try using option-drag, it re-arranges everything in the timeline. I've tried locking certain areas down, but no avail.
I tried bringing in the same clip (audio + video), and then deleting the video and using the audio, but it only brought in the video and not the audio... Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Copy audio tracks to get double mono

Hi,
When i have a clip, with 2 mono tracks audio and I only want to use one track and copy this track, to the track i don't use to get double mono. How do i do this.
Now i do the following:
*) Put clip in timeline
*) Unlink stereo pair
*) Cut the track i don't whant
*) Copy the track that i want to get double mono
*) Link the 2 track to a stereo pair
This is a lot of work to do this for every clip. So, is there a faster way ?
Thank in advance
Tonnie

I'm not sure why you want a double mono: you could simply cut the track you don't want and change the Pan value of the remaining track to 0 so the sound is balanced between the left and right speakers.
To apply the same Pan = 0 to all mono tracks, you can copy from the first one (cmd-C), where you already set Pan=0, and Paste Attributes (alt-V) selecting Audio Attributes: Pan in the dialog.

Videocast - how to copy audio to iPod?

I have quite a few vidcasts, vodcast, videocast (whatever you call them) in iTunes, but I have an iPod mini I want to copy the audio track to. It won't let me since it's a video.
How can I separate the audio from the video in order to copy to my iPod?

You could probably import the video into iMovie.
After you put your video podcast into the timeline, go to the File menu and select "Share...". Select Quicktime and "Compress movie for: Expert Settings"
When it brings up the Save dialog box, select Export: Sound to AIFF
This will save it as an AIFF sound file which you can import into iTunes and convert to MP3 or AAC.
Quite a lot to go through. You also can do a similar process if you have Quicktime Pro.

How to export audio track from iMovie '11

I found that the sound from the video recording of a live band worked pretty well for my purposes (listening for problems). But I don't need the video itself for some things. Is it possible to just grab the audio from the video and save it as just a sound file? I tried messing with iMovie but couldn't figure out a way yet.

You can detach the audio then copy and paste it around if you have other clips in the time line but if you want all the audio from a clip or group of clips put them in a project and do a custom QT export and export "Sound to AIFF file". Import that as an audio track in iTunes or drag directly on to another movie clip.

How to repalce audio track in PR or AE?

Assume that I recorded my voice and detected my voice frequency and waves,then i wanna replace an audio of a video im my voice frequency and it will perform my voice,it sounds like my voice.do anyone know how many softwares i need? and i to process.thx,can AE or PR accomplish this task?

You can use Audacity to record you voice - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
export Audacity audio file (your voice track) as an MP3
Import this MP3 into PPro
Lock video track and delete original unwanted audio track
select your new mp3 and paste to time line of the deleted audio track
Test and adjust if audio needs to be In-sync etc.
When happy with new audio track and video unlock video track.
Locking the video track allows just the audio track to be edited.

How to change audio track on a flv-video during streaming?

Hello ,
I would like to stream a flv-video, but every time with
different audio-track.
So how can I change the audio track on a video-stream? Is
there any server-side solution for this?
I used to stream the audio on different stream - parallel
with the video stream -, but because of synchronization problems,
it didn't work.
Any idea?
Thanks

Thanks for the helpful response. I'll check out the the options available for shaping the sound with eq, efx and amp sims as you suggest.
It still would be helpful to know if I change an audio track (.aif file) into a midi track in GarageBand or in some other software so I can change the instrumentation of the track from piano to another instrument.
Thanks again!

How do I reassign tracks to different channel strips? The option is not available to me via the "Assignable Checkbox"

Hello,
I'm new to the world of sound production and Logic Pro X and have recently encountered a problem in that I cannot reassign tracks to different channel strips via the assignable checkbox. I looked at the problem in the Help section that Apple has provided, and "found the solution." All I have to do is right-click or control-click the track header and click on "Reassign Track" as demonstrated in the following link: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12919
However, when I control-click the track header, the option "Reassign Value" is not even an option, and my screen appears as follows:
Note that above "New Audio Track" there is no option to "Reassign Value" like in the link above. I have checked, and I seem to have the latest versions of Logic Pro X and my OS is up to date.
Does anybody think they have a solution? I'd really appreciate it.
Thank You!!!
