How to merge video tracks

Hi,
I want to combine 2 m4v files into 1 (2 part movie), which I have successfully done in Quicktime Player Pro 7. Although when I play it in itunes, it only plays the first video track and the rest of the movie goes to a black screen. The second track which contains the second half of the film is not played.
Is there a way to combine Video Tracks, Audio tracks and Text Tracks?
Thanks

Unfortunately, this is normal when the video resides on two separate tracks.
Is there a way to combine Video Tracks, Audio tracks and Text Tracks?
Only if the video properties are exactly the same (e.g., encode, normal, and current display dimensions, frame rate, PAR value, etc. are all exactly the same) since the video tracks must be merged to the same track. AAC audio usually is not a problem but if secondary AC3 tracks are present, it usually forces all audio and video tracks to be separated. Also, if you intend to merge the chapter/text tracks, they should be actively selected since otherwise, only the primary (first chapter) track is copied/contained in the target file.

  • Merge Video Tracks Shortcut

    Dangnabbit, I have been trying to find the keyboard shortcut to merge video tracks in FCP 7.( I want to lower V2 and V3 into V1 on a significant sequence) I know it involves the "down arrow" but I'm at a loss.

    No, actually I'm hoping to retain the individual clips. The Opt-C command makes them into a single clip. The post house I'm delivering to asked for a single video track but we need the cuts to remain seperate for the color correction process. Does that make sense? I'm a bit of a noob both at FCP and the forums.

  • How to add video track below v1 ?

    Hi all experts,
    It is driving me nuts figuring out these.
    I have a reasonable big project file in the sense that there are many pictures & videos stack on top of each other.
    Now I want to add a video track to the most bottom layer (ie below track v1). How do I do that ? When I dis a right click to "Add track", it automatically adds track to the top !!
    At the moment I have to select everything & move up so that I have a clear track at the very most bottom. In so doing, I sometimes missed out some clips & it got messed up.
    It would be good if there is a way to add track below v1.
    Any ideas ?
    Thank you
    Cheers

    Thanks Tom,
    This saves me lots of tedious work !!
    Cheers

  • How to select Video Track Headers via hotkey??

    I want to know how to select seperat tracks via the highlighted headers without having to waste time clicking them seperatel with a mouse to make a fast edit (such as CMD+K). No such info on the googles and the interweb.

    I have set up  Shortcut keys to Toggle all Video (1-9) and all Audio (1-9)
    I use the numbers:  1 - 9 for Video and Shift 1- 9 for Audio.
    I use Click Shift for Toggle ALL. ( although there is a shortcut key available for that also but I have not set up it up.)

  • QT 7.1.5: How to merge Video and Audio tracks?

    I have a movie without a sound track and a mp3-file which I want to merge. I know that both should have the same length.
    First I opened the audio file, selected all, copied it - then opened the video file, selected all and pasted it. Sounds good and functioned properly.
    Trying to start the movie on another Macintosh, QT asks for the mp3-file. What went wrong, what to do?

    You failed to save the new file as "self-contained".
    You should use Save As and check the box for self-contained.

  • How to mark video tracks with rating from iPod itself?

    Is it possible to mark video podcasts with a rating (1-4 stars) on the iPod itself, and have this info go back into the iTunes library when I sync? If so, how?

    No, you can't rate video, only audio tracks (i.e. music).

  • How to merge video clips?

    I have a video that is broken into two files (the memory card had a 4gb file limit so it has two files under that size). I imported the two of them into FCPX no problem but I want to treat the both of them as one clip in the event browser. Is there a way to do this?

    ... ehm? you can select two clips and hit F = both marked.
    or, if you want to mark just parts of both clips, in-to-end clip#1, begin-to-out on clip#2 ...
    ok, this is two clicks, instead of one ... big thing
    I would avoid compounds as much as possible.
    And esp.just for organizing, the 'data base tool' FCPX offers with its tags, keywords, favorites, meta-info, search filters, smart collections etc etc etc MUCH more 'powerful' tools than just bins of single solid clips.
    …Not meant as a personal offence, but I really recommend to get familiar with the NEW way, how FCPX handles 'sources'… just for organizing, compounds is really the wrong turn.... my 5¢.-
    No I can't mark from one clip into another because they have different time stamps. I guess the camera marks the clips based on the start time. And there are clips in between these two clips.
    Why is there no way to join clips?

  • How do I get the audio track to stick with the video track?

    Whenever I move or cut the video track I want it's audio track to move or cut with it, how do I get them to stay together so I don't have to do double work?
    This should be an easy one...Let's see who can answer first.....ready, set, GO!

    Sounds like Linked Selection is switched off. Check the button in the upper right of the timeline window. Shift-L will toggle it off and on.

  • How do I command a single video track (with many clips) to an action?

    Hi,
    This is my first post in this forum, and I am a beginner on FCE.
    I want to take one of my video tracks and reduce the size to 1/4 and put it in the upper right corner of the screen. I want my screen split into 4 equal sections. My first track has many edit points, and I cannot seem to command the whole track to stay put in the upper right corner of the screen.
    I can do it if I choose each clip in the track individually (and size it manually) but not all at once. How do I do the track all at once?
    Thanks,
    humbucker237

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    You can set the scale to 25% for the first clip in timeline and place in the the upper right corner of the canvas, select it in timeline and use COMMAND-C to copy it.
    Now select all remaining clips in timeline and use the paste attributes--motion command to set the scale to 25% for all clip and place them correctly.
    OR
    Use nested sequence.
    Simply create a new sequence (S2) and drag your edited one (S1) (at full scale and position set to 0,0) in the new one. That's the nesting process.
    From this step, ALT-double-click this sequence (S1) in timeline to open it in viewer and set the scale and position value.

  • Step 1 - how does one create a video track in FCP X?

    Just purchased FCP X & wow ... sparing all the rants I've been hearing, I'm sure it can do what I'm looking for, just that all the features are now hidden from view.
    Step 1 - anyone know how to create additional video tracks?

    Tried that & a Pandora's box of other questions opened up. Doing some research, watching videos, etc... just need to scrap most/all knowledge of previous FCP versions & start from scratch with this new interface philosophy it would seem.
    One other symptom that seems disturbing: sometimes activiating a feature does not activate a feature.
    Example, I wanted to silence the audio while skimming, so unchecked "audio skimming" in the view menu.
    Audio still plays while skimming.
    Decided to try unchecking all four options at the bottom of the view menu (skimming, clip skimming, audio skimming, snapping).
    Nothing changed.
    I can still skim clips, and audio still plays.
    Why would this happen?

  • How can I copy a clip to another video track?

    I've been fiddling around to find a solution to this, but to no avail...
    I have a video track containing a couple of clips. Now I want to copy a clip and paste it onto another video track in the same sequence. This seems to be an impossible task...
    How can I do that?
    Thanks for enlightening me!

    Right click on the clip in the timeline you want to copy.  Select "copy".  Then select in the timeline the video track you want to copy TO.  Place your CTI (current time indicator) in the timeline where you want your clip to get pasted.  Then Go to your PrPro menu in the header, select EDIT>PASTE.  Voila!
    What may confuse you and make it seem impossible is that you can right click on a clip in the timeline and "copy".  But when you go to right click and "paste" no context menu opens up.  You can of course use the EDIT>COPY and EDIT>PASTE command as well.
    And what works even more easily is you can just use your Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V commands.  You can also copy and paste into the same video track and then just click and drag the new copy to whatever video track you want.
    All of the above will copy and paste your audio tracks as well.  If you want to just copy the video then use the Alt key when selecting and it will only select the video or audio depending on what you try to select.
    The basics are all well covered in Adobe Help and use this for starters:

  • Merging video with an offset audio track

    This is driving me nuts.
    I want to merge a quicktime with an audio track, but I want to have the audio track to start playing at a specified time offset. So given a .mov file and a .wav file, combine the two files and have the audio start at something like 1 second in.
    I can't seem to get this to work (though I can easily merge the two files). I would really appreciate any pointers in this regard.
    Best Regards,
    - Rob

    Thanks for the response. While this would work I prefer do do all of this work in code (which of course is more complicated) mainly because the delay period is dynamic.
    One solution I came up with was to create a custom effect (modified from the "Gain Effect" example) to insert the blank data in the buffer which then gets merged with the video track.
    This works, but I'm wondering if there are better ways of doing this. If you have other solutions I'd really like to hear them.
    Thanks!
