Is it possible to lock audio tracks so they do not fragment when inserting clips into the video line - Elements 13

The question says it all. If the answer is no, is there a work around? I'd really appreciate help with this - very frustrating (but possibly simple when you know how)

Peter,
The video mentioned here is from Premier Elements 8. A major overhaul of the interface came with version 11. One of the Top Participants on this forum is Steve Grisetti. He has created the courses at that website for versions 11, 12 and now 13. Steve is both very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. Without his course, I would be struggling with video editing.
The system at Lynda.com is to "subscribe" for the price of $25 a month. Steve's course contains 4 hours of content so it might take a week or two to complete. Lynda.com allows you to cancel your subscription and access will stop at the end of the 30 days you've paid for. In other words, for $25 you can quickly gain a full understanding of how PrE 13 works!
There is free help all over the internet, but none is organized into a complete, organized and comprehensive course like Steve's. I give my most enthusiastic recommendation to taking this course.
Like all the courses at Lynda.com, a few of the chapters are free to try as an evaluation. The whole Premier Elements 13 course can be viewed here: http://www.lynda.com/Elements-tutorials/Up-Running-Premiere-Elements-13/175719-2.html

Audio appears on two seperate Audio Tracks but they are not routed together

Hi folks,
Sorry for this, I have done a search of the forum but couldn't find what I am looking for answer wise so I need some help.
1. I load up an Apple loop onto track one
2. I then create a new audio track
3. I then load a new Apple loop
When I load the second Apple loop, the first one not only plays through audio track 1's output but also audio track 2's output.
If I solo the second loop I can still here the first.
Any ideas?

If I solo the second loop I can still here the first
Aside from what Sam said, it's also possible that you have soloed loop 2 while playing loop 1 in the Loops browser. The solo in the Arrange track will not silence what might be playing in the Loops browser.

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

Audio levels not retained when pasting clips into another timeline

I have FCP 5.1.4
When I copy audio clips with keyframed levels and paste into another timeline, the levels are all messed up upon pasting.
What's the deal? Anyone see this before?

Not sure why such weird behavior occurs (Could it be caused by some corrupted preferences therefore trashing them could solve the problem?). however, as a work around have you tried to copy and paste attributes from the audio clip in sequence 1 to the audio clip in sequence 2? That should give you the same keyframes you had in the copied clip (Original sequence).

Multi-track duration issue when inserting clips

I apologize if I missed this anywhere. Tried to search first.
I'm using Audition cs6 and I have a clip in my waveform viewer. I have already created a new multi-track session that matches the specs of the source files.
HOWEVER, when I make a selection on the source file and select "Insert into multitrack" and then select the session, it inserts it 14-hours and 22-minutes into the blank 30-second session. This throws off the whole viewing slider and it becomes very difficult to manipulate the timeline. If I simply drag the file from the browser and then re-trim it, it's fine, but not using the insert command.
Why is this and is there a way to correct this?
Any help would be wonderful

It sounds like the file has BWF Time Reference metadata embedded. You can verify this by opening Window > Metadata and under the BWF tab, check the Time Reference field. To disable this behavior, uncheck Preferences > Multitrack > Use embedded timecode when inserting clips into Multitrack.

Is it possible to process audio tracks with compression, eq, etc....in Logic Express, similar to the way you can do it in Protools? If so, how do you do it?

Hello,
Yes, add such effects using the insert slots on the track strip.
Click on the slot, choose your plugin from the list. Double click to bring up its control window to set parameters.

Editing After Laying Final Audio Mix Into The Time Line - Possible?

Hello Board,
I finished my film recently and layed the final audio mix (stereo track) into the timeline, replacing all the seperate audio tracks. Now, I want to go in and do some edits at the beginning of the movie.
I still have the main video tracks and several other video tracks for noise filter, credits, etc.
Is it possible to link the video track with the stereo audio file and keep everything synced as I make the cuts to eliminate the need to remix the sound?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lin

Because the video and audio aren't linked, I'm using the razor tool to cut in and out point on the timeline, first to the video and then to the audio seperately. after marking the spots with the razor tool, I delete the unwanted area in between (I do both to the video and audio track) and then pull the pieces together on the video and audio tracks. So far it has stayed synced.
In your case, Lin, I'd recommend using Add Edit and Ripple Delete instead of the Blade tool and the other steps you're doing.
That is...
1. At the point where you want to cut, press Control-V (that's Add Edit)
2. At the next point where you want to cut, press Control-V again
3. Select the region to be cutout and press the Del key, that's the key below Help and to the left of End on your keyboard, not the Delete key.
(This is a Ripple Delete, which clears the selection and moves all clips to the left, leaving no gap)
However it seems like doing transitions would be hard because unless I can match the space on the audio track it will all go out of sync.
I'm honestly confused by what you mean about 'space on the audio track' and things not matching - care to clarify?

Audio track 1 and 2 not lined up??? help!!

When you put clip in timeline they go on 2 audio tracks for some reason. well, i must have deleted something I shouldn't have because 1/4 way through movie the 2 audio tracks are not directly lined up with one another. for some reason the bottom track says +15. I tried to undo but you are openly allowed 10-15 or so 'undo's" and I must have made error long time ago and not noticed. Then I tried to lock the audio track 1 for my video clip and move the audio track 2 directly underneath it but it won't let me. Even when audio track 2 is unlocked I cannot move audio track 1 for same movie clip.
When I play my movie the dialogue is not synced anymore. Can I fix this?
suggestions?

I have been told by a friend to re-do my entire movie from the point the audio track 1 and audio track 2 have become displaced. If anyone in the Apple community can help me I would appreciate it.
I find it hard to believe that when audio track 1 and audio track 2 become displaced there is not an easy way to line them up again. Since 80% of my movie has an audio track 2 clip that has a red icon with + 15 on it it seems to suggest that audio track 2 is 15 frames off of audio track 1. (Audio track 1 and Audio track 2 are from the same video clip)
So I have about 20% of my movie clips that have lined up Audio track 1 and Audio track 2 and then all of a sudden the audio track 1 and audio track 2 are not lined up. So I hear an echo to every actor who states dialogue because audio track 1 "says the line" and then of course audio track 2 which is not lined up "says the line" a few seconds later.
If anyone can answer this question you will save me about 10-15 hours of work. Thank you!
Your friend is, umm, to be kind, ignorant.
There is an easy way. Right click on the red icon and select slip into sync.
The most likely explanation is that you have deactivated the link function of the timeline. It is a small chain link icon in the right upper corner of the timeline button bar.
Since you are having so many problems associated with yoru project's audio, I strongly urge you to learn how to increment your project on a daily basis so you have an intact version history (no, I'm not going to explain that to you) and be absoltuey CERTAIN you understand how the auotsave vault works and how to recover your project if you need to.

Audio track opens in QT, not specified editor

Hmm... Why would an audio track open in QT, not the specified audio editor, when control-clicked and Open in Editor is selected?
Thanks!

This happens when the audio track is part of a video clip. You could set the video editor to the audio application to force it to open whatever application it is is you're trying to open.

I have a new Macbook Pro. When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues. When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

I have a brand new Macbook model A1502. I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos. I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted. I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems. Can anyone help me please? This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use. Thanks in advance

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Getting the audio back on a video clip in the time line

hi all,
and happy new year!
have deleted the audio from a video clip in the time line and now want it back, how would I get the audio back?
thanks for your time
jonyfoz

Put the playhead at the beginning of the clip and press the X key. It should mark in and out point for the clip. Press the F key to match frame back to the same clip. Make sure both video and audio target tracks are set correctly and press F0 to overwrite and edit the clip with audio back into the timeline.

No Audio When I Drag A Clip Into The Composition

When i try to put audio into a composition it is removed and no audio comes up. It is not a RAM preview issue as there is no audio to play. When i import any clip into after effects it works fine but if i try to add it to a composition the audio is taken away and there is not even a waveform. I tried converting the audio to a .wav format but that still doesnt work. I have tried this with after effects cs6 and cs5 but the prblem is the same. I have a mid 2011 imac with an i5 processor. I have even tried using bootcamp and trying to use after effects on the windows side but i still have the same problem. Please help as this is getting frustrating and it's probably a simple issue.
Thanks.

Yeah, convert whatever kind of MPEG file you're using to something like Quicktime's PNG or animation codecs -- with audio, of course -- and try again. MPEG files can contain multiplexed, or muxed, audio: the audio is embedded in the video, there's no separate audio track, so AE can't see it.
Astounded by the large size of the file after conversion? Get used to it.

From a room at my hotel that belong to a guest. I request a apple Id and password from the guest in order to track it though iCloud, when I login into the account the MacBook was not their, however I saw other device. A few days has past then the MacBook appear. How does that happened, please explain?

For a stolen Macbook to appear in iCloud - the person who stole it must turn it on.
You can't track something that's turned off.
