How to preserve multiple mono audio in Multicam sequence?

I'm a new FCP7 -> Premiere convert and seem to be unable to preserve true multiple mono audio in a multicam source sequence.
I have 3 video clips, each with 2 mono audio channels, interpreted correctly as multiple mono (showing as "2 Mon" in Project panel).
When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips, Premiere Pro Cs6 is creating a sequence with a Master audio track that is stereo. I cannot find a way to converting the stereo Master audio track to multiple mono audio track after the sequence is automatically created. When I look in "Sequence Settings" of the multi-cam sequence, there is no "Tracks" tab that is used to set this up in a new sequence. I have also tried switching all the preferences/audio settings to Mono with no luck.
Note: This problem is NOT related to enabling/disabling the additional audio tracks in the multicam sequence, I understand that only track 1 of a multi-cam sequence is enabled by default.
Thanks,
Robert

When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips
Don't do that. Do things "old school". Meaning you manually create an "Original" sequence for the 3 clips, add them in and sync them up. You then manually create a second "Multicam" sequence and nest the "Original" into that. Right click and Enable Multicam.
Doing it that way, you'll have the option to specify what type of audio tracks you want for each sequence.

Adjusting multiple mono audio tracks with the Audio Mixer

Anybody know how to adjust multiple mono audio tracks simultaneously with the audio mixer? If your tracks are stereo, one fader will control two faders or audio tracks. Suppose you have 6 mono audio tracks and don't want to pull down each fader separately. Is there a way to pull down one fader and have the others locked to it, or controlled by it?

Not with the sliders, but you can adjust levels with ctrl [ and ctrl ] (I think, not at fcp right now).
The autoselect buttons (to the right of the lock icons, at the head of the timeline) tell fcp which track to adjust...

How to edit a clip in a multicam sequence (CS6)?

I am using Premiere CS6 on Mac, I have a multicam sequence set up (2 cam).
I just want to color correct cam 2 to match cam 1 and I cannot figure it out. Everything I try applies the correction to the entire sequence.
If someone can provide exact steps to apply color correction to one clip in the sequence only (it's just brightness/contract, nothing complicated), so that it's reflected in the multicam sequence I'd be grateful. Even a link to a tutorial would be good as I cannot seem to find it online (almost everything points to CC which I don't use and is totally different than CS6).
Please help!

Ok, I finally figured it out, no thanks to Adobe's crap "Help" system, which is missing MANY steps...
1. Right-click the Multi-Camera Source Sequence in the Project tab (NOT the multicam sequence you're editing). It's the one with the green/blue lines perfectly lined up.
2. Choose Open in Timeline.
3. In the Timeline, make the edits you want to the clip you want (in this case, Brightness/Contrast on clip 2)
4. Go to Window > Multi-Camera Monitor
5. You'll see your source clips stacked in the window, and you can fine tune from here.
6. Click on the Multi-Camera Sequence you're editing in the Timeline, and the Monitor should update to reflect your changes.
You can toggle back and forth between these sequences in the timeline, adjusting as you need.
This was incredibly easy for me to document, I really fail to understand why the Help file couldn't be bothered. It's completely missing things like what the difference is between the source multicam sequence and the program multicam sequence, how to edit a clip in your multicam sequence, and how the multicam monitor works. Really pisspoor documentation, but at this point, I don't expect anything else from Adobe.

How to merge multiple live audio streams into a single stream in FMS?

I need to merge multiple live audio streams into a single stream so that i can pass this stream as input to VOIP through a softphone.
For this i tried the following approach:
Created a new stream (str1) on FMS onAppStart and recorded the live streams (sent throgh microphone) in that new stream.
Below is the code :
application.onAppStart = function()
application.myStream=Stream.get("foo");
application.myStream.record();
application.onPublish = function (client,stream)
      var streamName = stream.name;
      application.myStream.play(streamName,-2,-1};
The problem is that the Stream.play plays only 1 live stream at a time.As soon as a the 2nd live stream is sent to FMS then Stream.play stops playing the previous live stream.So,only the latest live stream is getting recorded.Whereas i need to record all the live streams in the new stream simultaneously.
Any pointers regarding this are welcome.
Thanks

well i tried this once for one of my scripts and the final conclusion is its not possible to combine two streams into 1.....how would you time/encode the two voices......there is no know solution to this in flash. If you continue on despite me and find a solution please post it so we can explain to rest of world.

Help with audio in multicam sequence

I did a couple searches and couldn't find a discussion addressing this issue -- apologies if it's been brought up recently.
I am learning to edit with the multicam function in CS6, and I was wondering how to make sure the audio and video are connected in the timeline when performing a ripple or roll edit. I have a few seconds of "ummm" that I need to remove, but when I use either tool, only the video is removed, and not the audio.
I looked to make sure both are linked, and it says that they are. Any suggestions on how to make sure I can fine tune my multicam sequence in the timeline and make sure it edits both the audio and video at once?
Thanks.

When audio and video are linked, adjusting one will also adjust the other by default. I suspect some sort of operator or observer error here, but it's tough to know exactly where without seeing what you see. Post a screen shot or two.

How to combine multiple edited audio tracks in multicam?

I have three camera angles each of which has audio. I would like to combine the audio from all three cameras but the challenge is that I want to edit various points in each audio track separately and synchronized with my cut points from one angle to another. My plan was to edit the audio in each of the 3 tracks then detach the audio from each track and recombine by overlaying them into one audio track. However I found that I cannot detach audio from tracks within the angle viewer where I've made my audio edits. Is there a way to do this or is there a work around?

I found a clumsy work around. I used Audio Hijack Pro from Rogue Amoeba to capture the audio from FCP X of all three camera angles. From the Angle Editor I enabled the audio monitor for each angle and in the Timeline played all three tracks while Audio Hijack Pro recorded the combination of the thee. This allowed me to capture all of my audio edits from the Angle Editor from each of the three tracks. I then copied the combined audio file to the multicam project, aligned it with the multicam audio and reduced the multicam audio to essentially zero, leaving only the combined 3-track audio that I had added.
This approach got me through the project but there must be a better way to accomplish this. Any suggestions?

How to make two mono audio tracks into a stereo pair?

My video clip, brought over into Premiere CS6 from Final Cut Pro 5, has the usual left and right audio tracks, but in Premiere they are not linked into a stereo pair. Thus the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track.
In Final Cut, I can quickly convert two independent audio tracks into a stero pair by selecting the tracks and then going to the menu Modify > Stereo Pair. I can't figure out how to do this in Premiere.
When two audio tracks are not linked, the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track, which wastes time. But after two tracks are linked into a Stereo Pair in Final Cut, adjusting either track adjusts them both, together. That's what I want to do now in Premiere.
So, how do I make two separate audio tracks into a linked Stereo Pair in Premiere?

I used to think like you do. These aren't workarounds, per se. The issue is that Premiere Pro is a different program, so you have to approach some things slightly differently.
Actually, Premiere Pro's audio capability is more like a DAW than Final Cut was, and more powerful too, so if you know that workflow it makes more sense. A lot of FCP people don't have training in programs like ProTools or Audition, so it's more difficult for folks like yourself (and me, too) to catch on. Once you learn it, though, you begin to see its power.
Tom77 wrote:

In Premiere Pro CC, you can link and unlink audio and video tracks with a keyboard shortcut for "Linked Selection." You have to create it in your Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, but it works just like the one in FCP. Make it Shift + L if you like.
Tom77 wrote:
Not to mention the fact that I can have as many projects open in Final Cut as I want, and copy and paste between them. Each open project becomes a tab on the timeline, and I can jump beween projects by just clicking on their tabs. I was shocked when I tried to open two projects in Premiere to find that it only allows one at a time to be open. That seems really primitive--
Again, you can achieve what you want (copying and using items from other projects), you just have to go about it differently. All you do is navigate to the other project files in the Media Browser and import items that you need in this fashion. So, no, you don't have more than one project open at a time, but you got what you wanted, stuff from another projects in your current project. That works for me, anyway.
Again, Premiere Pro is a different program. You can achieve the same goals, but sometimes have to go about it differently. Some things are faster, some slower. Some are easier to learn, some harder. Hopefully, you see my point.
I need video generators to make arrows, circles, squares, etc. and transitions such as edge wipes and clock wipes to animate them, all to point out and emphasize things that I'm demonstrating and explaining in my videos. Premiere has no such generators, nor are there any third-party plug-ins available to add them, that I've been able to find.
Do you know about the Titler? It has a lot of useful shapes. You can also create shapes in After Effects and Photoshop and import them. The shapes you make in those programs can look a lot better than the stock FCP effects.
There are lots of third party effects, some that have generators. Check out Boris Continuum, FX Factory, CoreMelt, Film Impact, and more.
There are pitifully few transitions in Premiere at all (the Mac version) compared to Final Cut.
I'm really not a transitions person, and I find the FCP transitions looking tired anyway. The only one I really need is a white flash and I can either create it, or use a third party flash effect. If you need cool, modern transitions, check out Film Impact or the other third party plug in foundries I mentioned. There is an Edge Wipe transition, called "Wipe." If you need feathering, check out the Wipe Effect, which you can keyframe to look like a transition.
More and more I would like to be moving completely into Premiere, but I keep running into these inadequacies in the program, these roadblocks, for my purposes at least.
The more you work with it, the less you'll be working with FCP. That's what most people are saying anyway. Sure, there are minor annoyances associated with learning a new app, but you also take the good along with it. I suggest you just dive right in. It may take longer at first, but you can get your speed up in time.
I have no doubt that sometime in the future Premiere will become everything that I want it to be, and at that time I can finally abandon Final Cut for good, as I wish I could do right now.
I also came from FCP, taught FCP for nearly a decade, wrote a book about FCP, help start the first FCPUG, worked at Apple on two versions of FC Studio, so I do know what you are going through. Just keep at it and keep posting here. I'll be glad to help you with any workarounds or confusion related to moving over from FCP.
Thanks,

Help, How to export multiple mono tracks?

I have eight tracks of master audio that has been captured to FCP with the video. I have sent the timeline to soundtrack to create individual mono timestamped BWF for each track (very important).
I have each of the tracks submitted to submixes. When I play the timeline you can see that each track has distinct audio assigned. Now when I export, telling the program to export all submixes, it only puts audio on tracks one and two. It is however creating 8 wav files.
Now here is the odd thing, it was working for the first 4 day of the shoot. Now it has decided to crap out. Was I just getting lucky before, and if so. What settings should I have to achieve what I need.

Yes, we are. The problem is unique, meaning that when we try aiff exports the full 8 channels right properly. But wav files don't only right the first two. We need to use wav since the tracks will be going to pro tools for the conform and mix.

How to export 8 mono audio track Quick Times for broadcast stations?

Hi, I work for a post house for Broadcast commercials. We are moving to a tapeless format for mastering and file delivery to stations and Extreme Reach. Is it possible to use premiere to export a single file with 8 mono tracks to support a 5.1 mix (Channels 1-6) and a stereo mix (7-8). We need the file to contain all 8 tracks of audio as mono single tracks.

How to synchronize multiple, unorganized audio- and video clips

I'm editing a video with audio recorded by an external recorder.
I've been given a lot of unorganized files and I wonder if there's a quick way to synchronize them all without knowing which audio- and video file that fit together.

I've been pretty amazed by how well the synchronize clips command works. You might take a chance and select all of your audio/video files at once, right click and choose Synchronize Clips.

How do I export multichannel audio with match sequence settings?

I have a prores file that has 10 channels of audio. I made a sequence with the same audio and video settings (I also tried dragging the video on the new sequence button with the audio import set to adaptive) and then I tried to render a clip out of it by using the match sequence settings. The audio export defaults to stereo and can't be changed. I'm using Premiere CC 7.2.2 on a Mac at the moment.

It's difficult to be helpful when you have an attitude. I read your post, and was offering suggestions for how to achieve what you seem to want to achieve. If you really need to use the Match Sequence Settings - rather than changing the settings to match manually - then clearly you're not going to be able to get multichannel audio. Since this does not seem like a bug, I would suggest submitting a feature request and asking for the Match Sequence Settings to support multichannel audio export.

How can I use all tracks from multi-channel source audio with Multicam clips?

I cannot figure this out. Working in Premiere I'm prepping for a 2 camera show, with typically 4 to 6 track dual-system audio recorded by the sound guy. I can sync, and make multicam clips any number of ways–whether sync by timecode, sync by audio, or eyeballing–but whenever I edit using the MC clip, Premiere mixes down all the audio channels into a stereo single track, and I cannot pick and choose which audio track from the original to use. With 2-5 people mic'd on lavs, I need to be able to choose which audio is either cut in or heard at any given shot.
Is there any way to have control in multicam clips over which track of audio gets edited into the timeline, or even: that all tracks of audio get cut in? It's very important for the editors to be able to see waveform (which also disappears for some reason in the mixdown) and pick and choose which audio is heard?
I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it for workflow purposes for my assistant editors. We need to use multicam, but this audio thing is driving all of us crazy. None of us can figure out how to have a multicam clip and use it with control over what audio is cut in.

True, but what I need to be able to do is have my multicam sequence in the source monitor, and cut into my working sequence with either just the audio I need from the sound guy's multi-channel WAV, OR cut in all the sound and from then I can just enable or disable what I need or don't need. But also be able to match back to the Multicam source from my working sequence.
I don't want to have to open the synced sequence, and razor blade the things I need and have to copy and paste into my working sequence in order to have the full spectrum of my multi-channel mono lav WAV files...with their waveforms visible.
Essentially, I want my Multicam clips to load in the source monitor, and the ability to cut them into the working sequence without it mixing down the audio into a single track with no visible waveform–which is what it is doing currently. Can I choose to edit in either ALL of the tracks of the WAV file along with the camera shot I want, or control which audio gets cut in?

HT4589 How do I change the audio to dual mono from stereo when using Share to DVD in Final Cut 10.1?

How do I switch the audio to Dual Mono from Stereo when using Share in Final Cut Pro 10.1? Even though the audio is all in dual mono in the timeline, it lists it as stereo in the share box.

Hi rationale1,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The share to DVD settings in Final Cut Pro X use the Dolby Digital settings which are stereo for DVDs. So this can’t be done directly in Final Cut Pro X.
The link below will explain the Dolby Digital parameters and options in Compressor 4. You may need to research a different DVD authoring software to achieve your desired result.
Dolby Digital - Compressor 4 User Manual
http://help.apple.com/compressor/mac/4.1/#cpsrb71736a2
Dolby Digital
The built-in Dolby Digital settings (in the Create Blu-ray and Create DVD destinations, as well as the built-in AC-3 and EC-3 audio settings) use the Dolby Digital transcoding format. This format encodes Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Digital Plus (EC-3) audio files that contain multiple audio channels, including 5.1 surround sound. You can also create custom settings that use the Dolby Digital transcoding format.
Note: All files intended for video and audio DVD authoring must have a 48 kHz sample rate as required by the DVD specification.
DVD Video: Choose this option if you’re encoding for use in a DVD video authoring application.
DVD Audio: Choose this option if you’re encoding for use in a DVD audio authoring application.
Tip: For stereo encoding, rates of 192 kbps and 224 kbps are typical and will produce good results. For Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding, a rate of 384 kbps is recommended. For 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus encoding, a rate of 192 kbps is recommended.
Cheers,
Judy

How do I join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in Premiere Pro CS5?

Hello,
The question is in the title but I'm wondering how I can join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in PP CS5.5. I put all my short clips right next to each other and selected all of them to see what options are available by right clicking and using the toolbar options at the top. The closest that I got was to nest the sequence, but that's not what I really want.
I'd like to merge all the short clips into one single (long) audio file to use under the video.
Thoughts are welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Melvin

O.K. This is kind of fundamental and you will need to learn up on this fully ...but for now...
Make sure you have the WAB ( work area bar )covering the length of the audio clips. ( You do not need to select them)
Go to the File Menu> Export Media
You will be given all the Export Options. Choose Wave File
Select option for Export Work Area.
Choose where to export the file to ( HD location)
follow your nose from there....

BTW - Why are you taking the audio to Audition anyway? What are you going to do to it.

How to add multiple audio transitions

I know how to add multiple video transitions to a whole series of clips, but I want to add a cross fade to every audio clip in the sequence....how can I do this if at all, or is it not possible? Thanks

I'm suspecting that you don't have the destination tabs set correctly when you drag the audio clips to the canvas overlays.
Destination & Source tabs are the tabs located at the left side of the timeline. When you want to add audio cross fades to your audio clips, do the following:
1. Set the played at the beginning of the sequence.
2. Click the video source tab to disconnect it from the video track.
3. Verify that the audio source tabs are connected to the audio tracks that you want the audio edited to.
4. Select your audio clips.
5. Drag the selected audio clips to the Overwrite with Transition overlay in the canvas.
