Issues with 'Mute' in Audio Track

Hi All
1. Using Premiere Pro CC (Fully Up to Date)
Was wondering if I could get assistance with what I believe is an issue with the Mute Button in an Audio Track. Firstly my understanding is that, if I use the 'Mute' button either in the Audio Mixer or the icon in the Timeline to mute a clip or track, it is only a temporary action and once you uncheck mute the track reverts back to it state before the Mute.ie normal audio. I have been doing some voice overs directly into the timeline using a USB Microphone / Headset and on those occasions have gone through the steps of Arming, Solo (The Voice Over Track) and then record. I am not sure if this is related but just included to give a background. When checking the levels and doing a bit of fine tuning I find the following issue. As the play head moves along the timeline if goes into a Mute condition and also appear in the Audio Mixer as Mute. It is though it is seeing a 'key frame' that tells it to mute at that point, hence my earlier question regarding (when Mute, is it temporary). I immediately uncheck Mute but when I recheck over that area of the video it is On/Off On /Off. I have tried to see if there are 'key frames / markers that indicate start and end of "Mute' in that Audio track but no luck.
Am I correct in the assumption that mute is a temporary action and should not be a permanent action at that point, or have I done something to create this issue.
Thanks for any advise.

I just read some related threads and I am beginning to suspect the action of the 'Solo' function could be causing the issue. I can not say for certain but I did some other VO in another sequence in the same project and only used the 'Mute" in the other tracks, not using Solo didn't seem to have this issue. Then I did a bit of reading in an earlier CS3 manual that advised using 'Solo' now I seem to have this issue. I totally agree have tried different audio, removing area of offending audio but still comes back??????

How do i mute an audio track without deleting it.

how do i mute an audio track without deleting it?

There have been a few recent posts, where Audio Mixer settings are not "held," in PrE 11. Those cited problems seem to be Project-specific, in that Audio Mixer works, as expected, in a new Project - just not the one, causing issues.
I do not know if there is a glitch/Bug in Audio Mixer, or if the users are doing something that is "disconnecting" Audio Mixer in some way.
As a test, create a New Project, Import a Video file with Audio (Muxed Video Stream and Audio Stream), and test Audio Mixer, and the Mute function there. How does Audio Mixer work in that Project? Does the Muting of the Audio "stick?"
Second test: in your existing Project, Select all the Clips on that Audio Track #1, and drag them to Audio Track #2, or another, empty Audio Track, and test the Mute for that new Track, in Audio Mixer. How does that work for you? Does the Mute stick?
Good luck,

Can quicktime play an video track with multiple alternate audio tracks?

Hi,
If I have a video track with multiple alternate audio tracks (say different languages), can a user select the audio track of his choice and play in Quick time?
Thanks,
Apurva

Does quick time/ safari have this capability?
QT (i.e., the QT structure embeded in current Mac OS/device IOS versions) has the ability to switch between alternative audio tracks assuming the file is properly encoded and the compression format is supported. QT 7, QT X, iTunes, and similar app player GUIs can switch between such tracks during playback but the QT plug-in cannot. In a similar manner, devices like TV can switch between such tracks but an iPhone cannot just as an iPhone can select "Chapters" but the QT browser plug-in cannot but an iPhone file programmed with both chapters and alternate audio tracks can be played back through a TV device and access both chapters and alternative audio tracks.
What I want to use is one video track with alternate audio tracks in a set level manifest and play this using HTTP Live streaming. I'm using the manifest mentioned here :
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-07#section-8.7
Since I do not use playlists, I am not familiar with the approach in your example. If I want alternate audio and/or video tracks, I create standalone video files with these features built in. Nor do I use RTSP if that is what you mean by "live streaming" of content. If I want to "stream" the content, I use "Fast Start" files programmed to open in the QT player app which supports these features or create reference or QT Media Link files that do the same thing.
As you mentioned, Safari on my iPhone is playing the default/first alternate audio track mentioned but not giving an option to switch tracks.
Neither Safari nor the Video app GUIs on your iPhone have a built in switching option. The only way to switch to alternate audio tracks is to do so with QT 7 Pro or possibly iTunes before loading or streaming the video file. (Am still speaking about a standalone file here and not a programmed playlist/RTSP switch.)
However Quick time on my Mac machine only plays the audio with the the video stream and not the alternate audio track.
The QT player app GUI only switches between tracks that are stored as part of the standalone file. Basically, QT files may contain up to 99 individual data tracks. In alternative audio videos, multiple audio tracks are added to the file by an editor like QT 7 Pro but only one track is designated as "active." All other tracks are designated as "inactive." The QT player GUI allows the viewer to select which audio track he or she wants to hear and then turns off the current audio track and turns on the selected audio track. Otherwise all active tracks would play simultaneously.
Is there a way to switch tracks on my iPhone on Safari?
As previously noted, the default track can be manually changed by QT 7 Pro or, I believe, iTunes (used to have this capability) before actually loading or streaming content.
Does quicktime have this capability?
As far as I know, only with regard to stand alone files programmed with multiple alternate tracks. I am not a HTML, HTML5, or Java programmer so I assume there may be web alternatives here but they would be beyond the scope of my expertise.
Do you know any free player that can do this?
Again, I don't use either playlists or RTSP so I've never had a need to look for/use alternative players that might meet your needs. I simply find it easier to build files that work correctly in current player app/device GUIs already having these capabilities.
Or the very last option, can I build a player to do this? If yes can you suggest where/how I start?
Once again, I assume this might be possible but not part of my experience since, for my part, easier work flows are available.

Can one video track play with 9 different audio tracks?

If we create a dvd with a 20 mins voiceover video in 6 chapters, but there were 9 language versions inc English, could we use the same video track, playing with a different audio track for each language, to save space?

Almost. You have have 8 audio streams (AS) so you'd need to have 2 tracks and split the audio across them. So you could have Track 1 8x AS and Track 2 1x AS. T1 5x AS & T2 4x AS. You get the idea...
You dont need 1 Track per Track but you will need at least two. Keep an eye on your total bandwith for each track also. Remember to budget for the audio before you encode,

I want to make a copy of slide show create from my own photographs and with a an audio track behind them. I have carefully followed the iDVD tutorials and burnt the result to a disc but image quality is very poor. What is wrong?

I want to make a DVD of a slide-show with an audio track behind the photographs. I have carefully followed the iDVD video tutorials but the result is far from satisfactory. The quality of the images on the resulting DVD are blurred and indistict although the original photographs are of a very high quality. Where am I going wrong? Would I have better results from a different program than the inbuilt iDVD and if so so what programs have others found to be better? I should be grateful for some expert guidance.

Hey Falcopebo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Looks like you have image quality issues when using iDVD to burn.
iDVD 7.0: Burned DVD has interlacing, pixelation, or image quality issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4078
A standard DVD made by iDVD is made to the standard DVD resolution of 720 X 480, which is smaller than most HDTVs and monitors. When expanded to fit the entire screen or monitor, the image will distort slightly due to upscaling to fit the screen or monitor.
Have a nice day,

Editing starting only with a n audio track

Is it possible to start with an audio track and add different from different angles into the audio track so that the lips will be synced to the audio track.

This is the way I would do it:
1. Put master audio in the first two tracks.
2. Disable the patch panel for more audio.
3. Create a total of three (3) Video Tracks.
4. Put the first camera in the First track.
5. Put the second camera in the second track.
6. Put the third camera in the third track.
7.Turning the visibility on and off for each camera, sync up the video and audio for each camera.
8. Turn overlays on.
9. Select the blade tool and cut wherever you want to have the camera switch. (For example, If you want the first track to show through, cut the two above it for the amount of time you want the first camera to show.)
10. Lower the opacities for whatever camera (or track) is hiding it. (For example, if you want the third camera showing, don't lower anything, its on top.)
11. Do this as much as you want.
Ask any questions or just ask me to clarify on something.

I have a sync issue with any songs name track 1 or 2 so on ..even though my itune shows I have the play list right but after i sync the same 20 tracks play very different tracks, it doesn't happen when I sync other songs that actually have names

I have a sync issue with my ipod, anytime I synch a playlist that has generic song names instead of actual names like track 1 or track 2 so on even though my itune library shows and plays the song, but after a sync my ipod will play a different song. Never happnes if the playlist has actual song names, than everything is fine..!!!!Any help?

If I understand you correctly, when iPod play the Track 1, a different song is played, what is the name of this different song?

Logic issue with MS Band Sleep Tracking

If I do a both ends of the candle night, so hit the sack at 2am on the 10th of the month, then try to make amends that night by turning in at 10pm then the Band tracker records this as no sleep at all on the 9th, but 2 sleeps on the 10th. Well that just
nonsense. The logic isn't hard and I can guarantee the dev team understand. So this is BUG and it would be rather nice to see it fixed before Azure ML gets confused about my sleep patterns and predicts my early demise.

I have had the exact same problems, only I have not cycled so I can't relate to that complaint. I have had an issue with my units of Distance now displaying incorrectly. Prior to last week, my units were in Miles, and now they are in Kilometers. I don't see anywhere to change that in the Settings.
Also, I contacted Joe in Support yesterday, and he had me reset my SmartBand and my phone (equivalent of rebooting) to see if that fixed anything. It did not. Then he instructed me to uninstall the Sony Apps on my phone, and re-install them. I did that, and it worked temporarily. All my historical data was now displaying correctly, until this morning when I woke up, and my sleep is back to being > 100 hours for last night, but my historical data still seems to be fine. The problem seems to be during the initial capture of the data. When I am on my timeline and I move the time forward, at midnight, the increments increase exponentially, rather than normal speed. Prior to midnight, all is fine.
I have a Nike+ Fuel Band and got the Sony SWR10 primarily for Sleep Monitoring. Now I am unable to do anything with the data because it is not accurate. Also, I'm an avid runner and would appreciate the ability to change from KM back to Miles...this is a basic necessity.
Thanks,

Can't export quicktime with 5.1 audio track - help

I have a very unusual problem that I am running into.
A festival has asked for a Pro Res Screener vs a DCP like I am used to with a 5.1 audio mix.
No problem I figure, I grab the 6 individual audio tracks from our sound guy, mastered as 5.1 L,R,C,LF,SL,SR.
I create a new sequence, lay in my Video track and the 6 audio tracks from track 1 - 6 in the same order as above.
I setup my sequence the first time to be a 5.1 sequence, with 5.1 tracks.
I set each track according to it's placement with the little 5.1 diagram in each track.
I export using pro res, and set the audio to 5.1, L,R,C,LF,SL,SR
I figure at this point all should be good. I bring the renderd file back into premiere to check the file and create a new sequence directly from the new file.
I get 1 video track with a 5.1 audio track.
This is where things get weird. There are 5 channels in the track, however the left and right tracks have a mixture of L,R,and C, there is no audio in the C track, no audio in the LF track, very slight audio in the SL track and no audio in the SR track.
What is going on?
I have tried exporting this now about 10 different ways. Figuring that the audio tracks were all mono tracks I tried to set them up as individual mono tracks 1-6 and I just end up with a 5.1 track that has mixed L,R and no audio in any of the different channels.
I've searched the web and I'm going crazy with this. i'm about to send the project off to have it digitally mastered by someone else. this is quite ridiculous.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? I figure I have to be setting up something wrong? but what? how come there are no 5.1 templates in premiere to work from?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I really hate to send this project off to someone else for such a seemingly simple task. Seriously, this is making DCP creation like a walk in the park!

Richard, thank you so much for that link. That seems to have done the trick, at least 95%. I have successfully routed all tracks to a single 5.1 file that can now be successfully exported... however, even after following his invert track trick, I am still getting nothing in my LFE track. How on earth do you rout that LFE track? Has it changed in premiere CC 2014?

Windows 7 on e9280t has issues with Realtek HD audio drivers

This is driving me crazy. My PC runs great, but there is obviously an issue with the drivers for Realtek and Win 7. Sometimes I have sound, sometimes I don't. You just never know. Most of the time it doesn't even register that I have speakers. I've tried downloaded the driver from the HP site. I've also tried downloading the driver from Realtek's site. Nothing has worked yet. Still no sound. Anyone have any clue what might be causing this, or if there is a fix in the works?

Try this. Right click on the Audio icon in the tray. Then, click Properties. This opens the 'Sounds and Audio Devices Properties'. Check all of the settings to assure they are correct. You may have to change the settings one at a time to see if one of them does the trick. When I have had a problem with the speakers not being recognized, it was incorrect speakers chosen.

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!

Exporting from PPro CC - Exporting using Match Sequence Settings issue with 24 bit audio

I am having an issue exporting my sequence which contains final AIFF mix (24 bit 48 kHz) into a 'same-as-source' ProRes 422 file with 24 bit audio. I am specifically trying to export media with 'Match Sequence Settings' checked to create an identical output of what my sequence is. I wind up only creating a PR422 with 16 bit audio rather than 24 bit audio.
My sequence contains ProRes 422 media and 24 bit AIFF final stereo mix (1 audio file) from our Sound department.
My sequence is currently setup as "Custom" at 1920x1080, 23.976 fps, Square Pixels, Progressive, etc. Audio is 48 kHz (I don't see an option for choosing different bit rates in the 'Sequence Settings').
Using 'Match Sequence Settings', my options to alter the audio are "greyed out" and unavailable. I'm not sure why 'Match Sequence Settings' doesn't recognize that I am cutting with 24 bit audio and, instead, only exports 16 bit audio.

Always skip Match Sequence Settings and set up the export manually.

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.

Multiple video tracks with the same audio track

How do I get DVDSP to play the same audio track on 3 different video tracks without having to repeat the audio on each of the 3 video trax?
Seems simple, but I can't find an easy way to do it.
Anybody got any ideas?

Yes they are all one continuous stream with the same GOP structure and everything. I had to export them as QT movies from FCP to get them all the same. I only exported the video though becuase the audio was going to be the same for all the tracks, & it was already done as AC3 through Compressor. Which brings up an interesting question; why does DVDSP convert the AC3 audio to .aiff which is a much larger format?
I'm trying to go back and look at the encoding log from DVDSP to see what error it gave.
It doesn't give the error in the log since I had shut down my computer last night, so I guess I'll have to try the build again and see what error it gives.
I'm looking at the parsing files and .m2v files that DVDSP did during the build, and it parsed all 3 angles, and finished the .m2v file of the medium shot, including 6 minutes past the point I told DVDSP to stop it. (When exporting the QT movie from FCP, I had forgotton and encoded the whole 2:30:00 show instead of the 1st 1/2 of 1:16:47:15, and then just adjusted the end of the clip in DVDSP).
The wide shot and Close up .m2v files, and the audio .aiff file were in the folder, but have nothing in them. The Video_TS folder and Audio_TS folder are also there, but with nothing in them, so whatever happened, seems to have happened in the medium shot encoding process.
I'm pretty much over this multi-angle thing, and I'm going to start working on an edited version of this today because all I have to do is make the cuts between cameras, since the audio is already mixed. However, if you have any other ideas, please let me know.
