IMX with two stereo pairs audio setting?
Hello.
I am trying to build a Compressor preset to export from 1080i ProRes, two stereo pairs, to PAL IMX, same audio setup. I can do it within FCP7 and FCPX, but I'd like to be able to build the Compressor setting as well. So far I can only build the destination file with one stereo pair. Any help?
Thank you and best regards

OK, I've found a workaround following a tip from Jeremy Garchow at Creative Cow. If the clip to be converted has the two stereo pairs, you can create your own IMX setting in Compressor choosing "audio pass through" in the audio settings in the inspector window.

How to export QT with 2-Stereo pairs?
I'm trying to export from a Quicktime which has 2 stereo pairs. The resulting Quicktime would look like this:
(the above was exported from FCP7).
The reason we are looking for this is because we deliver our masters (as im sure many others do) with tracks 1&2 Full Mix, Tracks 3&4 M+E. The benifit by having the audio appear as two stereo pairs is that the client can disable a pair through quicktime, thus we can deliver a wrapped file (rather than a video and two stereo wav files.). Its also benificial for us as we can QC the file by simply checking the QT proporties to make sure there are two tracks, and soloing each.
Using the new October release of PP CC I HAVE been able to export a quicktime with 4 mono tracks however QT displays this as one multichanel audio stream.
Googling around I have found this post, which seems to show a screenshot of the QT audio export settings (see below) with the option to export 2 stero pairs, however my version of Premiere Pro (CC 7.1.0) does not have this option. All I get is the option of unlabled or DTMPE...
Not being able to do this is currently the last remaining 'feature' that PP lacks that is preventing our company from making the switch to PP from FCP7 :'(
me: "new version of PP is out, addresses all those things you didnt like lets start migrating!!"
person with money: "can we do 2 stereo pair output?"
me: "... no"
them: "no.""unlabeled" and "DTMPE" are options for Channel Layout Setting.
Stereo Pairs is under Audio Track Layout, which is just above Channel Layout. -
0x1) is there a way to disable annoying autoplay feature in windows media player: when i play music in "now playing" mode and insert a disc which contains some video WMP stops playing music and asks me to play that disc or starts playing without any questions (e.g. when i insert DVD). in addition when WMP asks before playing it proposes three options: resume playing, go to library and play previous list. choosing "resume playing" you'll not resume the music just played, you'll start playing inserted disc. if you choose "play previous list", it also won't continue the playlist i was just playing, rather a playlist or track before the one i was just playing! very strange behaviour, isn't it?
note that this happends only in "now playing" mode, when library is active everything works fine.
please don't tell to go to control panel and change autoplay settings: it takes no effect. it works when WMP is not started or if WMP is not in "now playing" mode, otherwise WMP ignores that settings and demonstrates his "very intellectual"automatic playing.
0x2) when playing FLAC files windows media player doesn't show progress indicator, it always is positioned at the beginning (or at the place where you've positioned it). if i select multiple FLAC files and click "play with windows media player" it will play only the last file from the selected list.
0x3) when playing AVI files with two or more audio tracks WMP plays only one of them and gives no opportunity to change autio track. in wmp of vista it plays all the audio tracks at the same time (!).
If there is no solution for these problems, please tell me where i can send a feedback about my complaints?i use K-Lite 5.2 full codec pack. in the k-lite codec tweak tool report i see madFLAC.ax installed. i'll try the Xiph.org filters.

Is there a way to select multiple audio tracks and make all of them stereo pair at the same time?
I selected multiple tracks, pressed "option L" but was not able to make multiple clips stereo pair at the same time.
If I remember correctly it is not possible modify a group of selected clips on the timeline with the Stereo Pair command - unless all the selected clips have exactly the same properties - such as being linked to video clips, etc. So you have to manually go through and select the dual mono tracks you want to pair individually or in smaller groups to be able to apply the Stereo Pair command.
If you select a bunch (a couple) of clips, and go to the menu Modify, you will see if Stereo Pair is grayed out or not. If it is grayed out, then you can't apply it to those clips as a group, but you probably will be able to apply it if you make smaller selections of clips.

FCP separating my stereo pairs
There's some screwy thing going on where when I zoom in or our of a timeline, FCP separates my stereo paired audio clips, making them mono clips. It's a huge pain to have to go through my entire cut sequence pairing them up again, clip by clip. Is there any way to make FCP stop doing this?
I'm using version 5.1.4.
Thanks for your input.
4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 4 GB GGR2 SDRAMYou might want to double-check the keyboard shortcut assignments. You can probably load up the default keyboard command set to get back to the starting point.
Have you opened the audio in the viewer to make sure it's not just the stereo markers that are disappearing? -
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 need to do in my videos that I either can't do in Premiere or that require involved workarounds like this, things that I can do instantly
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.

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,

Won't recapture with new audio setting
when i initially captured some of my clips in FCP 4, i made the mistake of using the audio setting "mono mix".
since then, i've upgraded to FCP 5. i've also finished the project. now, i'd like to go back and recapture the clips, setting the audio to the proper setting of 2 separate mono tracks, the way it should have been in the first place.
i should note that "mono mix" did not result in one mixed down track; it captured two tracks of audio in a stereo pair, listed in the browser as "1V, 2A" with "1 stereo" but i suspect it mixed them in a weird way because they sound quite low and muddy.
in any case, i've been trying to recapture with a new audio setting. however, nothing seems to work. i've tried making all the clips offline, changing their settings with "modify", then recapturing with the audio toggled to 2 mono tracks... it still comes in as "1 stereo" pair. i've tried the other way, setting the log & capture settings to 2 mono, unchecking the "use current clips settings" box... it comes in "1 stereo". i've tried trashing preferences and redoing the above. i've tried putting the clips in a different project.
any suggestions? thanks.apparently when you capture in "mono mix" it captures 2 tracks, but makes them identical mixes. so you lose all the phasing and mixing from the field and wind up with two dullish tracks. to unlink them wouldn't change this.
however, i think i figured out a way through a post on creative cow -- i exported a batch list of the offending clips and opened this in Excel. then i went in and changed the audio track column manually, to "2 Mono", then imported the batch list back into FCP. then recaptured using these new clip settings.
seems to work! (knock on wood). -
Using MPEG2 video with 2 stereo audio tracks
Hi.
I am using MPEG 2 files that have 2 audio streams, each stereo. When importing to Premiere CS5.5, only first stereo pair is used, i cannot get the second stream. Is it possible to fix this?A production company in my city gave the files to me, but I don't know with what software they are recorded.
When i check the files in Gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/index.htm) they are OK, it founds two MPEG1 layer2 stereo audio pairs.
Also, if I play the files in VLC i can choose from Audio Track 1 and Track 2. -
3 audio tracks (centre,right,çeft) : How to make stereo pairs?
Hi,
Working with one video track and three audio tracks (recorded as Centre, Left and Right) for each clip.
Having problems when I do overlaps or fades manually. I need to treat each track separately as not possible to make them a stereo pair.
Should I duplicate the Centre track and make it a stereo pair and make another stereo pair with Left/Right.
What should be the easiest way/workaround to treat/link the audio tracks so that sound transitions like manual overlaps/fades can be done?
ThanxHi-
Do your manual fade on one track of the three. Select the track with the manual fade and type command+C to copy it. Select the other two tracks and type Option+V. A window will open that will let you choose to paste only your level settings, pan, or content or any combination of those.
If you have elaborate manual mixing you might want to razor blade just the section of the the three audio clips you want to apply the sound transition to - so as not to disturb other parts of the mix.
Hope this helps.

My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1
Actually, try this instead. On the apple tv, under settings > Audio > Dolby digital
Change it From AUTO (default) to ON
That worked for me. All my eyetv encodes have stereo and 5.1 tracks. For some reason the auto option forces stereo. Setting it to ON forces the 5.1.
Everything sounds nice again! It's just stupid that apple puts AUTO for the default and that setting results in stereo not 5.1. -
How can i use airplay with apple tv on a set of audio speakers?
hello there,
i've got a problem with my stereo apple tv combination.
my TV does support HDMI so i can use my apple tv on my HDTV. only my audio is being played on my internal speakers of my HDTV. I do have a set of speakers. but it doesn't support optical audio out. so i was wondering if its possible to use an Airport Express en plug my speakers in there. then wirelessly send the audio from my apple tv to my Airport/speakers. do any of you think that thats possible?? cause i really can't find another way to transfer my audio to my speakers...
Thanks alot!!Unfortunately you can't send audio from the Apple TV to an airport express, but you can send audio from your mac/pc to the airport express via iTunes/Airplay, you could also send audio from an iPod/iPhone to the express. The express supports both optical and 3.5 mm in a unified port.

Using iMovie 09 with stereo pairs?
Talking to the geniuses at the local Apple store, it seems clear that iMovie 09 saves Ken Burns pan/crops to the images, not as separate data. This makes it difficult to create identical moves on matching stereo pairs, as the camera pans and crops would have to be exactly the same for the right and left views of the pair.
I'm thinking there's a work around for this limitation but I need to learn more about how iMovie saves its files.
Consider the case where a transition and pan/crop is created for successive right view images, then this is exported as a Quicktime movie, then iMovie is closed. If it is possible in Finder (not in iMovie) to substitute the left view image source files for the right view image source files, using precisely the same file names, then when iMovie opens again it would not know the difference and could export a left view Quicktime movie.
But I can't investigate this hypothesis because I can't find the source files that iMovie uses. Performing a swap out with the original files has no effect (at least, I saw no change in the thumbnails and the playback when using well marked test files. So are there hidden copies of the source files that iMovie uses? And if so, how do I locate these so I can swap them out?
I hope I'm making myself clear here. When I explained what I was trying to do at the Apple store today, the geniuses required several reiterations before they got it, because my intent is so unconventional and they had no reference point. But they did get it, as far as using iMovie as it was designed to be used, and said, no, you can't do this with iMovie because swapping out images within the program removes any Ken Burns pan/crops you have set for them. And there is no way to numerically set these parameters so they are identical in a new movie to those in a different movie.
I didn't ask them about a workaround that would fool iMovie when it is reopened into thinking it is using the same images, but I'm asking here. If I know how to locate those source image files, I can do the rest.
Or am I completely missing something that should be obvious?
(There's software for Windows called ProShow Gold that allows saving camera movements separately from images, and this is used for making stereoscopic slide shows with Ken Burns pan/crops. But I want to do this on a Mac.)
Thanks.
SMcQKarsten,
Thanks for that link! I think your arrows will point me in the right direction.
In my effort, the images for stereo projection are placed side by side as a pair in a shared frame, 2800x1050 total resolution. Quicktime Pro can make these and show these, and also a free stereo avi editor called Stereo Movie Maker for Windows. For stereo 3D from start to finish, it is important to be cross platform proficient. Of course, the Mac can make this OS switch, but I'd like to see more stereo 3D options in Mac native software, because right now, there aren't any. Our projection software is a custom build by programmers at UC Davis and our projection system runs from an Intel Mac Pro feeding dual Hitachi projectors.
I made a movie of a slide show with iPhoto, using 19th Century stereocard views, but wanted to take the presentation into Ken Burns territory with camera moves that are coordinated between the right and left views. I think iMovie 09 can do this with some, as you say, (ab)use. Hackers are the bleeding edge, right?
Our stereo theater is at Lake Tahoe, Incline Village, Nevada, within the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center located on the Sierra Nevada College campus. The building is too new to see on Google Earth (or Google Earth imagery is too behind to show a building four years old).

How do I set up an MS Stereo Pair in Logic 7?
So we are now dabbling into the MS Stereo pair for our recording tech class and I can't seem to find an easy way of doing this. Any suggestions? I can't find a real time phase inversion plug-in or button anywhere other than going through the wave editor and doing it that way, which doesnt help much. Pro Tools and DP for instance have plug-ins that do the 180 degrees out of phase type switchup. Anything like that in Logic... still can't find one. Is there a free downloadable one that some of you out there prefer? Thanks!
~trevorI use MS all the time. Put an MS setup in front of the drumkit about 4-6 feet away pointing right between the kick and snare. You can change the width later to taste.
Yes, all you need to do is setup a stereo track and put the direction mixer plug in the first slot with the MS button clicked on. It does all the decoding for you. The only thing you need to make sure of is that you have the inputs set properly. If you've got the inputs set to Input 1-2, you need to have the mid mic on input 1 and the side mic on input 2. -
Numbers Charts: Stacked bar chart with two sets of data
Hi....newbie with first post
I'm trying to create a stacked bar chart with two lots of comparative data.
So, there is Basic + Overtime for April 2010 as one stack (ie the basic is one colour, stacked on top is the overtime in a different colour)
Basic + Overtime for April 2011 next to it.
I can get April figures next to one another as four separate columns (2 x basic, 2 x overtime), or I can get all four figures in a single stack, but I can't to two columns (one for each year) of basic and overtime.
Any ideas?UK,
What you are trying to do will require that you interleave the two sets of two-series data into one longer two-set series, and then plot just the one pair of series. Clear as mud?
What I'm saying is that you have to fake out the program into thinking that you have just two sets, not four.
You will have one series that has, for instance Apr 2010 Basic, Apr 2011 Basic, May, 2010 Basic, May 2011 Basic, etc.. This other series in that chart will have Apr 2010 Overtime, Apr 2011 Overtime, May 2010 Overtime, May 2011 Overtime, etc.
The bad thing here (I'll anticipate your first complaint) is that 2010 and 2011 data will have the same color for Basic and another color will be assigned for both 2010 Overtime and 2011 Overtime.
To get separate color sets for 2010 and 2011 data pairs, you will have to create two charts and overlay them. Both charts would be built in the alternating year format described above, but in one chart all the 2010 data would be blank and in the other chart all the 2011 data would be blank, leaving spaces in the chart for the data from the other chart to nest in.

I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014 (8.1) and need to export a 5.1 mix as well as the stereo tracks as 7 separate tracks in a quicktime. If I select 8 channels it automatically creates 8 tracks. Also, if I export the the seventh stereo track as mono track won't it play mono?
Thanks in advance for nay help you can offer.
-SamHi Richard and Kevin.
First of all thanks so much for the response and info. Just to clarify, you're saying I will need 8 tracks, 2 of which will be designated for the stereo pair, right? My concern is that I'm supposed to deliver only 7 tracks. They want the stereo pair as separate channels on one track. I'm wondering if I can create a one track stereo pair and put it on a stereo track, then export only the seven mono tracks (plus an empty track). Would the stereo still work?
Thanks for the link to the previous post. I had actually read it and though it was helpful in explaining how to set up the audio tracks I was still confused about the export.
Much thanks,
Sam
