I want to separate my audio tracks

I have two different tracks, one with handheld mic and the other on camera mic but I can select or delete only one... how can i separate them?

Are they a Stereo Pair?
Click on the tracks to select them and type Option - L to separate the tracks.

Losing audio when merging separate video & audio tracks. (fcp 5.14)

I am merging separate audio and video tracks. When I go to Modify >Merge, the resultant merged clip is missing the last 25% of the audio track. So it plays correctly and is synched correctly, but the audio just disappears 75% into the video. This shouldn't be the case as the audio takes are all longer than the video takes.
When I pull the audio track into the sequence and sync it up to the video track in the sequence editor, it plays fine. I'm not sure what could be causing this problem, as it has only cropped recently. I've had no problems merging clips by using Modify > Merge before. I tried changing the audio from 44.1 khz to 48.0 khz and back again, but i run into the same problem in both.

Try this ridiculous workaround. I don't know why it works this way.
These "---" are the extra steps.
To get a good merged subclip.
Open the audio file and add the 'in point' to the slate.
---Drag audio clip to the timeline.
---Drag the audio clip from the timeline to the browser window.
Merge with video.
Viola. Audio won't drop out. But the waveforms are completely off with the sound.
Next step is to open the merged clips and Make Subclip so you don't have that extra media in the beginning and end. And the waveform seem normal.

How to import 2 separate audio tracks and keep them separate?

I need advice about importing two separate simultaneous audio tracks and keeping them separate. I am importing footage from my Sony PDX-10 DV Cam.
In the field I had wireless microphones on two people, a man and woman. I interviewed them separately. The man was on channel 1 and the woman was on channel 2.
While shooting the man, for example, I could also hear the open mic of the woman who was maybe a block away talking to some friends. But her distracting sound was on CH 2 and in playback on the camera, if I dial down the volume of CH 2, I no longer hear the woman and I have a clean audio track, Ch 1, of the man who is being filmed.
I'm trying to import the interviews into iMovies with only the relevant track turned up and the distracting track turned down. When I listen to the audio from the camera on my headsets, I can get clean sound of just the person who is on camera. But the FIREWIRE seems to grab both tracks, even though in playback i'm listening only to the clean track.
Does anyone know how I can send just one audio track to IMovie? Any way to prevent the Firewire from importing both Ch 1 and Ch 2 at the same time?
I only want the sound that's relevant to the person who is on camera. And I know that in the camera, it's possible to listen to just the track from one channel. I'm hearing just one track through the headsets, because I can sucessfully dial down the other track. That's the way I want to import the footage to iMovie. But the FIrewire seems to grab all the sound it can find and carry over both CH 1 and CH 2, which means I'm left with a jumble of sound that is not useful.
And finally, if the firewire needs to grab both tracks, is there a way to assign them to two separate tracks in iMovie, so I can then simply turn one of the tracks off?

welcome finecut to the  boards of discssions ...
nope.
iM handles the two stereo-channels as "one track", and offers 3 tracks of stereo.. (the one inside the video, 2 additional tracks...)
I would... :
* export clip(s) share/Quicktime/Expert Settings/aiff..
* in a designated audio processor (Garageband, Audacity, ...) seperate the two channels, creating two "new" ones, stereo, where one channel is located in the stereo middle..
* import these two "stereo" files into iM, into Track2 and Track 3 ...
.. boom!done

How do I separate a video from an audio track?

I imported an edited .AVI file into iMovie HD. I want to reedit it, but am a complete novice. I would like to realign and edit certain audio in that file with reedited video (sorta basic editing I guess). When I drag clips into the Timeline Viewer it seems that the video and audio are one or at least inseparable. I have no idea how, or if I can, separate the audio track from the video track. Could someone please lend some guidance. Thanks very much.

TexanMac,
If a clip is in the timeline you can choose Advance>Extract Audio. That will place a copy of the clips audio in one of the two audio tracks.
From there you can do what you want with it.

Multiclip - mutliple audio tracks

This question has been asked before, but I'll reiterate it. If the support doesn't exist, hopefully apple dev will take it into consideration.
I shoot a lot of weddings and events. FCP's 5.0.x multiclip feature has been a lifesaver. I know the short answer to the following question is "get a mixer and do it in the field right the first time," which I'm working on. BUT, in the meanwhile...
Setup: 3-camera live shoots. We run three different mics: one cam has a wireless lapel mic on the groom; another has a wireless with a directional mic placed at readers' podium/spot; last is an on-camera mic.
Throughout the event the different mics are better for different sound: lapel mic for vows, directional mic for speakers, on-camera mic for organ and songs.
My FCP workflow so far has been this (and it could be the problem): export audio to .aiff, tweak it in STP, bring back into FCP, and link it with clip.
Here's the issue (finally!): Whenever I make these clips a "multiclip," the audio tracks (six in this case) are all automatically mixed together into two tracks in the multi-clip. All my hard work tweaking sound in STP is lost. (Again, might be a workflow issue.)
Does anyone know how to import the audio tracks, while still linked to the video, into a multiclip (and avoid manual synching in FCP timeline)?
I know one solution is to bring the separate audio files in and synch them manually in the timeline. But here's hoping someone can suggest something a bit less time-consuming...
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, the audio is set up with six total audio tracks (two per video feed). I'm viewing the clips with "Video & Audio" selected as you described.
I'm synching clips I've cleaned up in STP manually ... but that's not the issue.
Here's the issue:
Pre multiclip files:
V1 - A1, A2
V2 - A3, A4
V3 - A5, A6
--->convert to multiclip<---
Post multiclip files:
Viewer Window: V1, V2, V3 in multiclip config
Timeline Video: whichever angle I select
*Timeline Audio* - A1*, A2*
Going to item properties for the audio tracks shows that A1* is comprised of A1, A3, A5 and A2* is comprised of A2, A4, A6. All the original audio tracks are there in the new multclip audio, just mixed together.
I want to know if there's a way to separate those audio tracks in the timeline on the mutliclip. I'd like to work with the separate tracks for the best sound rather than the "mixed" audio that multiclip seems to do automatically.

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 do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

Binbashi
You can separate the audio track from video and save it to a DVD disc within Premiere Elements but not a CD disc.
To do save to the audio to DVD disc, you do not have to separate linked audio video, just use the export Publish+Share/Computer/Audio and set Presets to the wanted format (AAC, AIFF, MP3, or Windows Waveform (WAV).
You will not see Audio in the choices since it is at the bottom of the list of choices under Publish+Share/Computer/. You will need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices to scroll to it.
If you need information on selective export of Timeline content when dealing with more than just this one file on the Timeline, please let us know. If you are trying to produce a CD for listening in car or CD player elsewhere, please let us know.
Looking forward to learning of your results.
Thank you.

Adding multiple audio tracks to a multicam file

I am editing a multi cam production- and have 8 different audio tracks- separate from the movie files. I have made a multi cam file but any ideas on how to add all 8 tracks of audio to this multi cam file- then edit- and then question no. 2: how do I then export all edited audio tracks separately for my sound engineer to mix them? Thanks a lot

Hi Tom- thanks for your response I´m not quite sure if you get me right... I have made a multicam file- consisting of 4 cameras- and now I want to add 8 audio tracks that are not connected to any of the cameras- but that were recorded seperately- and have all these 8 tracks lying underneath all the camera angles- being synced up with the cameras internal mics- but I want to edit the 8 audio tracks and finally export them. Thanks

Pros Res linking audio tracks

When I capture HD footage using either ProRes or Intermediate Codec, I'm unable to adjust the audio channels independently. If I capture the same footage using the regular old HDV 720p30 or 60 preset, the tracks are independent.
I'm loving the video quality with ProRes, but if I can't separate the audio track (e.g. potting down the camera mic for an interview it's pretty worthless.
There's got to be a way to do this, right?

One other question: is there a way to log individual clips using ProRes, or does one always end up with
"Project 1, Project 2," etc?

Can't transfer audio track

I upgraded to Pro, but can't use the feature I really need right now. I want to take an audio track from one movie and put it in another. The help instructions under "transfer tracks" seems simple, but I can't get them to work. Help please! I'm way past a deadline.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Dual 1.25 GHz, 1 GB RAM

If the source movie has only one track, such as DV, you'll have to do an Export Sound to AIFF first and then open that AIFF back in QuickTime Player. If the movie does have a sound track, then just get movie properties, select the sound track, and click the Extract button.
Either way you should now have a window with the sound in it. Select All and Copy that, then open your destination movie, make sure you're at the start, and do an Add to Movie. Then Save As self contained and you should be done.

Bugged audio playback? When I start working with more than 1 audio track.

Hi!
I have been using premiere elements 12 for editing FullHD videos.
Brand new for me just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
Now during the last couple weeks I have had this MAJOR proglem with editing the audio.
This problem is headache and turns my simple editing into almost impossibilites.
I have had this problem with all my projects. _ALL_
Usually the problem seems to appear when I want to start working with several audio tracks.
At somepoint my projects just get ruined, I simply cannot hear the audio tracks.
The audio starts to disapear randomly from all the audio tracks.
It is not only playback problem. When I exported the video, the audio was partly missing, same as the project.
I have tried to look help on forums and search all what I could find, but havent been able to solve this.
Small fix has slightly helped:
I export audio to single track and bring it back to project. This works but I still usually have more editing to do.
I simply cannot understand why the playback disapears, I fear it is a bug.
I found lot of earlier version problems on people with similar type of problems, but no help for this version of program.
To solve the matter I have changed my audio setting in PE12.
Tried Premiere Elements WDM Sound and ASIO4ALL V2, but same problem on both.
I have looked up that my audio playback device and PE12 matches, and are not muted, and volumes maxed.
I have deleted my C:\ appdata\roaming\adobe premiere elements & premiere elements 12 folder preferences.. not helping..
I press the update pretty much everyday hoping for new version.. But yes, program keeps telling me its the latest.
I usually only work with 3 audio track maxinum. And I am doing really the most basic stuff here..
I have set all my audios to foreground and it has given me best results, but it does not seem to take the problem away as at somepoint randomly my audio playback is missing again, randomly across the playback.
Please anyone? I am feeling hopeless here.

What are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size readings.
I opened new project and this is what i got:
Editing mode: HD 1080i
Timebase: 25,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
Audio is 48000 Hz
(I dont know how to change these, btw. Program don't seem to let me change editing mode.
I also looked up my most recent project and found these settings:
Editing Mode: DSLR
Timebase: 30,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
..and same audio settings
Do the problems persist if you start a new project? Do you find the audio problems develop when the Timeline content is fairly well developed or can the problems occur when there a minimal amount of content of those tracks? Let us look at the size and duration of this project.
Yes, I have had this problem with all my projects. Sometimes it goes away tho, just enough for me to work bit more. My work progress usually starts by clipping the video material, like 1h material to 8minutes in clips. After that I want to work with audio tracks, and here problems start! When I start working with more than 1 track, so the problem is at later stage. To fix the problem a small fix I have used, I export audio like music and effects tracks together to 1 wav and bring it back. After that, I start working with narrate track. To describe the problem with audio:
Audio Randomly starts to disapear when I playback, and can also be gone if I export the video out.
My source videos total size are usually within 80Gb max limit and audio edit material 300mb total.
In my last project my biggest source video was 47GB and leingth of 1h 4m, in addition to that I had 3 smaller videos, sizes of 1GB, 1,54GB and 300MB.
Is there any evidence that you are accidentially moving the audio track rubberband to alter the audio volume. That rubberband is the orange line that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip when you are looking at the wave form display style of that audio track. The rubberband represents audio volume.
No, audio volumes might have been adjusted in my tracks but they are present. The problem is usually like ~2-5seconds, a random audio track can be heard (like music or narrate) or just no sounds at all. This makes it very difficult to work with the audio. Also I gotta say that this problem starts by simply having the 2-3 audio tracks.. In my recent project the only adjustment I used to edit the audio was fade in/out.
I don't have any other audio problems with any other programs.
I am more than happy to provide more information if needed. I hope this information helps.
In addition I can say that when I close Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it crashes. No idea why.
I have also looked up my firewall settings, anything involved adobe and premiere..
In addition some effects like HD text templates make "Adobe Media Core CS6" crash. I tend to just not use em, or if I need em, I add em at end of the edits.
I hope this helps, I would really like to solve this problem.
Thank you alot for taking the time to answer! I welcome anyone to help mee too! Please giev links to similar problems too. Thank you everybody!

Two Audio tracks in one slide?

I've looked everywhere for what ought to be a simple answer
to a simple question, but can't find one...
Is there any way to have more than one audio recording in a
single slide in Captivate 2.0? Let's say I want to have a soft
music track playing in the background, plus an audio clip from a
narrator going at the same time. Or I've got the same audio track
that I'm going to use over and over again ("Click the NEXT
button"), and I just want to have it play at the conclusion of
another narrated track. Surely there's got to be a way to do
something this obvious, and yet I've scoured the instructions and
the internet, and can't find anything. When I attempt to drag a
second recording into a slide, it replaces the existing recording
with the new one. The assumption seems to be that nobody would ever
want more than one audio track on a single slide, either
concurrently or sequentially. Am I just missing something
obvious?

spjarrell, sorry to see you are unhappy but it looks to me
like it is just a case of frustration with your own level of
expertise. Osmosis is hardly ever the best way to handle the
learning curve for new software. You have to actually put forth an
effort, do some study, and - probably most important, don't be
afraid to ask questions right here.
Did you notice that Adobe Community Expert Rick gave Wilma a
full and complete solution to her problem? What made you think this
program would be similar in any way to something you owned seven
years ago? Did someone tell you this is "Just like Flash was back
in 2000?". If so, you need to change your vendors because this one
is lying to you.
I'll help with your only question, to wit ...
quote:
I have been trying to figure how to start an audio clip when I
click on a button. However, any time I add audio to anything on the
slide, it automatically starts when the slide starts.
Any audio you add will begin playing when that object first
appears on the time-line or is activated by an action. If you
want audio to play when a button is clicked, place the audio on the
slide or object that will immediately follow the button-click
action.
For instance, you can put the audio on the following slide,
and set the button's properties for a "successful" click-action to
"Go To Next Slide".
Or perhaps you would rather attach the audio to an invisible
highlight box (create the highlight with "0" for a border, and
"100%" for Fill Transparency) ... then position the highlight box
on the time-line so it appears immediately after the button (which
is pausing the slide?), then set the button properties on
"successful" click to "Continue".
When the button is clicked, the slide will "continue" down
the time-line for that same slide, and will immediately come to the
invisible highlight box which in turn will immediately begin
playing the audio. There are any number of ways to accomplish what
you want - these are a few that come immediately to mind, and
hopefully will be of some help to you.
P.S. Welcome to the User2User forums. We are always happy to
help, but please ask your question to see if there is a simple
solution
before condemning the product. Most user issues are just a
matter of knowing the tricks and advanced uses, but the experts

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!

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

Have you tried to use Streamclip. It's a free download. See if it works.
I don't know what "i have seen avi or dvx files with two audio tracks" means. The DVD should be in MPEG-2.
