I cannot export audio only as Roles, the render stops midway.

I'm using FCPX 10.1.3
I try to export audio only using Roles. The render just stops midway, it never finishes. What's wrong??
I'm also using X2Pro to generate an AAF file using the same roles. The AAF file comes with errors in the ProTools session. I'm guessing that the same problem that I'm having to share audio using roles is the one messing up the AAF file.
Help please!

JCVela is right.
You don't want to export a master file with multitrack to then do another transcode in compressor. You have to be able to really disable and choose roles for sharing. And still, this doesn't solve the issue of exporting AUDIO ONLY as ROLES. Sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn't.
For me, it is essential to be able to really turn on and off the audio or video of clips using the roles window for any kind of sharing/export whether it is within FCPX or Compressor and that when you do, that the render actually finishes. As it is right now, the roles tool is only a way to mark your clips and to turn them on and off when you're editing. And this is ridiculous.
Another thing: can you select clips using roles? For example, I want to lower the volume of all my clips that have the role of Dialogue, in the same amount for all of them. So far, selecting the dialogue role in the role window the clips get highlighted but I still have to select each one of them individually and manually to do the volume change. So, is there a way to select them all by using roles?

Exporting Audio Only

I thought that you used to be able to export audio only from iMovie using share to quicktime with some advanced settings. I don't see that as an option in the new Mavericks iMovie

Seriously ? There are no user selectable options for audio exports?
What the heck is wrong with giving people the ability to accomplish what they want to ITB?
Maybe this is just a marketing tactic to sell compressor to people who might not otherwise need it.
I sincerely hope Apple returns audio export options in the next update.
Bj4mac,
For what it's worth, you should not have been using 44.1 audio in FCPX.
Use one of the apps that Tom mentioned to convert to 48. (or QT pro if you still have that from FCS).
If this is an audio-only task you're attempting, that's all the more reason to use another app.
Good luck

RTMP Audio Only Streams and the BufferTrait

I'm encountering and issue when trying to access the bufferTrait of an RTMP stream that is audio only.
I can "getTrait" and it retrieves it, but when I try to adjust the bufferTime, it doesn't register any adjustments.
We have a custom buffering to our video streams, and for video streams it is correctly adjusting the bufferTime, but for audio only running through the same custom plugin, no adjustments to the BufferTime are being made, and I can't find a way to increase the buffer.
Is there is specific limitation on BufferTrait when dealing with Audio Only?
Thanks,
-Will

Did you try creating a BufferTrait variable and then assigning to the variable.bufferTime the new value?
Do you mind publishing your code to see if there is any problem with it, please.

MBPro 17 Intel Core 2 Duo Audio only works with the headphones?

MBPro 17 Intel Core 2 Duo Audio only works with the headphones?
There is a red light constantly emitting from the headphone socket?
I can not listen to sound unless headphones are plugged in - when taken out I get a red light and the volume controls kets seem locked?
Please help!
Julian

Hi Kitty.
Seems to be quite a popular problem. In another post, I posted the following.
"The red light is the data signal that is transmitted if you plug in an Optical Audio device such as surround sound speakers. I had the same problem for a short while with my 17' MBP. Sound was working fine from my built in speakers but I plugged in some earphones to listen to something that I did not want the rest of the office to hear and after pulling the hearphones out, the optical signal (red light) was being transmitted. The switch Cessna is referring to is the switch that is triggered inside the port that tells OSX that earphones/optical audio device is plugged in and to shut down power to the built in speakers. When the device is un-plugged from that port, the switch should get triggered again and power up the built in speakers and disable the optical light signal. Perhaps there is the slightest defect on the earphones you are plugging in that are preventing it from triggering the switch when the earphones are un-plugged.
Try a different sent of earphones to maybe trigger the switch if you are uncomfortable with the paper clip solution."
That seemed to solve the problem for that user.

Quicktime X Exporting Audio only - No Video

Hello,
Any MOV file I brought into Quicktime X I used to able to export to 720p, 1080p or 420p to
a nicely encoded, universal H.264 Quicktime file.
Now, when I try and export, it makes a small audio file and no video. The codec I'm encoding from is 'Animation'...should be easy..?
Any ideas?
thanks,
Dan

I'm having the same problem. Exporting as a 720 or a 480 from a 1080 only makes audio files. It used to work great under Snow Leopard.
Even the Export for the Web/Broadband only ends up making audio-only .mov file
I rolled back to my old copy of QuickTime 7 pro and was able to export a 720 and a 480, though you have to wade through a lot more codec options...

How do I export audio only?

I have audio that needs cleaning up beyond what I know how to do and I want to send it off to a friend... the FCP Library is around 133GB so I'd like to just send the audio. How can I do that?
Using version 10.1.4
Thanks.

If you have Compressor, import a batch of your video files at a time into there and export as Audio only - something uncompressed like .aiff files.
It's VERY quick.
If you don't have Compressor, you can create a project in FCP X, drop a load of files onto it, and then Share > Master File (choose Audio only again) .aiff (or similar uncompressed).
You'll need to re-import these files into your projects after they are returned - there are various ways to do that.

Trying to export "Audio only"

I'm running FCE 3.51.
I'm trying to export two audio tracks independently. I disable v1, get the pop-up warning about possibly losing render files. I choose to continue, then repeat for v2, then a1 & a2, a3 & a4. I highlight a5 & a6, then disable a7 & a8.
From the Export sub-menu I choose "For Soundtrack". However, the "Audio Only" in the Include: pull-down is disabled. When I leave the default item "Audio & Video" I end up with a file equal in size to the entire film, but with black screen and no audio.
My goal is an exported file with a5 & a6, then I'll repeat the procedure to generate a different file with a7 & a8, each with a .wav extension.
What am I doing wrong?

False alarm. I got it. Found the detailed instructions in the User's Manual. I should have been using Export for QuickTime Conversion rather than "For Soundtrack".

Can't export audio only

Any ideas why “Audio Only” is greyed out when I try to export my project? I’ve tried both To QuickTime and to Soundtrack, no avail; could do it using QuickTime Conversion to AIFF, but why not these other ways? I just want to clean up the audio in STPro and bring it back...
Thanks!

No, I’m using FCExpressHD. I already tried pulling out the FCE.plist from my Main Library; didn’t help. But I notice there’s also a FCE.plist in my User Library, along with even more FCE stuff in a folder called Final Cut Express User Data, either Final Cut Express Files or Final Cut Express Configuration Files... Should I trash both plists or any of this other stuff?
Aside: Decided not to upgrade to FCStudio, since I’d already bought and upgraded Motion and STPro before they were locked up inside Studio, and didn’t find FCP 5 compellingly better than FCP HD... Express seems to have what I need and is more usefully tied to iMovie which I have done a LOT of work in, but SoundtrackPro is an essential!
Thanks for your help, Tom (and your cool books!)

Can QuickTime X Exporting Audio Only???

Can QuickTime X export audio like QuickTimePro did (.aiff, .aac, etc.) ?
QuickTime X has the same ability to record audio but seems to only alllow me to save it as a .mov or a .mp4 file. What gives!

Use the QuickTime Player Pro app (Utilities folder) for those conversions (exports).

Cannot Export Audio Track to DVD

I've edited a video using Premier CS4. Wanting to burn a DVD of the video, I choose File/Adobe Dynamic Link/Send to Encore, then select the settings I want, and click Build. So far so good, but when I play the resulting disc it has no audio track. Yes, the audio track is on in the Premier project.
I tried exiting the programs and then re-opening. I also installed all updates.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

W Vought,
One thing to consider is that Encore is designed to produce DVD-Video discs. What you are looking for, it seems, is a DVD-Audio disc. Is that correct?
One way to sort of accomplish this would be to Export>AME just your Audio to a WAV, or AC3 file. Burn that to a data DVD. You could try to create a dummy Audio_TS and Video_TS folder structure, place your AC3 into the Audio_TS folder and burn with ImgBurn, Nero, whatever. The Audio_TS is for DVD-Audio discs. Then a DVD player *should* be able to play the Audio, if it has the capabilities.
Another workaround would be to just put Black Video on you VT 1 and the Export to Encore. DVD-Video needs to have Video of some sort - Black Video qualifies as Video.
Now, I do not do DVD-Audio discs, so do not know which authoring sofrware you'd use. Neil Wilkes, a MOD in the Encore forum, does this all of the time, as its his main business. I'll bet he'd have suggestions on what you need to do.
Good luck,
Hunt

My ipod audio only coming through the right headphone whats wrong?, My ipod audio only coming through the right headphone whats wrong?

Ive tried with mulitple headphones but my audio on my ipod is only coming through the right headphone. Whats wrong with my ipod? WIll I need to purchase another one?

I don't know if this is a common issue: I bought an iphone from someone and notice that only the plug design of the stereo headphone that comes with it fits in its receptacle. I tried others that are generally for the same size but they can't go deep enough in the receptacle thus can't get any audio. One thing I noticed is that this iphone's receptacle is deeper in the device than usual, so any other plugs other than the one provided can't fit. I can't use my external speakers with it!!! I fail to understand this. All all iphones like this or is it a defect particular to mine? After all, my ipod touch doesn't have this issue! If anybody knows, please tell me.

My audio only appears on the fourth track not the first one below video.

Any ideas why? And how I can avoid having to delete empty audio tracks every time I import something? I notice that the Audio 4 also has a small (5.1) to the right of it. Other tracks have a symbol that looks like sound waves instead.

Why does audio not go to the track where I drop it? - Lesson

Cannot get audio to come through the TV through DTV connection

Purchased a DTV connection to the serial cable and plugged it into my TV. The video comes through but no audio. How do I get the audio to work on the TV instead of the Macbook when plugged into the TV?

Final Cut HD- Exports Audio only?

Well, I have had the best of luck with Final Cut Express HD- I am not sure why, BUT NOW, everytime I export a video (quicktime or .mpeg4) it only exports the Audio and No video.
I don't think I have have changed any settings, but if I have - how do I change them back? This is killing my business as I make short web videos for auctioneers.
What am I doing wrong- all of a sudden after two years all I can export is audio and no video?

Maybe you have inadvertently selected NONE in the video export options?

Exporting sound-only files to the desktop

I extracted the audio and cut down a longer clip, deleting the video to leave only an audio segment behind. Then I tried to drag that audio clip to the desktop to create an AIFF file, but I found, when I opened the clip in itunes, that the sound from the whole clip was present, not just that segment I wanted. What can I do about this problem? I have seen posts mentioning "exporting" the audio to create a compressed file, but I only see an "import" option under the pull-down menu.

You may need QuickTime Pro for this suggestion. Open the aiff file in QT. Here you can trim the audio as required. I forget the exact terminology, but you can move the markers into position so that the segment you want is enclosed within the markers. Then you "Trim to Selection". This will delete the pieces outside the markers.
You could probably also do this in GarageBand, but I haven't tried this method personally.
