Losing Audio Tracks When importing from 5.1 to 3

I was capturing video on one of the new intel imacs in FCP 5.1. Afterwards I'm importing the files into a project on my powerbook g4 with FCP 3. For some reason I only get 1 audio track when I import the files.
The files on my imac all say 1V and 2A and have the two separate audio tracks. But when I import them on my laptop I get only 1V and 1A. I've tried everything I can think of and changed all the settings I can but can't figure this one out. Can anybody help me?

This has been posted by others in the past, there seems to be changes in FCP 5 and/or QuickTime that make its media not fully-readable by earlier revs of FCP.
I would recapture in FCP 3.

  • Missing audio track when importing video into Premiere Pro CS3

    When I import my M2TS video into the editor there is no audio when viewed in the source.  There is also no audio track when I drag a clip down to the timeline.  Any fix for this?

    I have the same problem with M2TS files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The audio track is there - Adobe Premiere just doesn't recognize it. If you open the same clip in Nero Showtime, Corel Ulead VideoStudio, etc., the audio will be there. The audio is probably multiplexed.
    I have been recording High Definition TV using the Hauppauge HD PVR 1212. About 15-20 % of the M2TS files recorded will be seen as video only clips by Adobe Premiere. The remaining clips will be conformed by Premiere and you will have a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. If you convert the video only clips to .MP4 and then re-import them into Premiere you will then have the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track back and you're good to go.
    I use either Xilisoft or Arcsoft media converters to change to .MP4 files. If you use Arcsoft you will have to render the clip. The files converted by Xilisoft don't have to be rendered for playback.

  • How can I 'join' audio tracks when importing audio book?

    HELP!!
    In the latest version of iTunes, 11.0.1, I can't find the 'JOIN Tracks' button which is needed when importing an audio CD to keep each disc treated as one book instead of storing each chapter as a separte entry.  Without this, I can't find a way to keep the chapters to play in proper order as each CD, starts with chapter 01. 
    Thank you for your help

    Join CD tracks
    When you import songs from a CD into iTunes, you can group songs so they always play together (even when you’re shuffling songs).
    Insert an audio CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive, and click No in the window that appears.
    When the songs on the CD appear in the iTunes window, hold down the Shift key to select the ones you want to join.
    Click near the top-right of the iTunes window, and choose Join CD Tracks.

  • Locating audio tracks when Importing OMF

    I have just imported an OMF from another Logic session. All my audio tracks are in the media folder and all the audio regions are in the session page in their correct places.
    But the audio isn't synced up to the regions, is there any way of not doing it manually as I have over 2000 files.
    Or is there something I can do when importing the OMF's to make sure this doesn't happen.
    I just started a new session straight from the OMF when this happened.
    I am now importing the OMF from an open session.
    Any advice greatly appreciated

  • No audio tracks when sending from Final Cut?

    Hi,
    I'm working with a 90 minute edited sequence in final cut that I've nested in another sequence to create a continuous video with a stereo audio track. When I send it to soundtrack (multitrack project) for mixing, the video is there but the audio tracks are blank.
    Does any one know why this is happening or have suggestions as to what I might do differently?
    Thanks in advance.

    I ended up exporting the sequence inside my nested sequence and that worked as it should.
    But all of my audio tracks were given their own track in Soundtrack which wasn't what I wanted. Finally I exported my nested sequence "for soundtrack" and applied the effects and filters to the resulting file's audio tracks and saved it. I then imported the file back into FCP, put it in a sequence and made any adjustments that I needed before exporting it with compressor.
    I don't know if this applies to what you need to do but I hope it's helpful.

  • Losing audio quality when exporting from premiere pro

    I have now had this happen with two different videos. I play the video in premiere pro and the audio is fine. I export the video and lose most of the quality of the audio portion. One project is a music session when exported I only get the main vocal the drums aren't audible only a buzz sound is made where the kick drum would usually come in. On another project is a thank you video for a family member and the audio is distorted after being exported. The audio sounds fine inside of the session. Once exported the audio will still work fine on my computer and my iphone 5s as long as I'm wearing headphones, once I try to play the video through my iphone 5s speakers the audio quality is gone, making the noises as previously stated. My iphone can still play other tracks fine but videos and audio exported from Premiere Pro are distorted. Any advice on how I can export the video so I wont lose audio quality when playing the video on an iphone? I know it's not my iphone speakers, they play other songs just fine.

    The source files as far as the audio goes are wav files that I've pulled off of my desktop. My sequence settings are 1920 by 1080 at 29.97 frames per second. The export settings are H.264 with the preset YouTube (HD 1080 29.97 FPS) and I've also tried HD video 1080p 29.97 FPS. If this isn't enough information please let me know I'm in the learning phase. Audio wise the quality is set to high and I'm exporting at 4800 kh and a bit rate of 190. I've also tried a bit rate of 320 and 264 I think it is and still had the same problems.  Let me know if I need to do screen shots I really want to figure this out.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Trouble with audio files when imported from audio window

    after "bouncing" and audio region and importing it (onto a new track) into the arrange window from the audio window, I can't seem to control any parameters like volume and pan for the imported clip. Is this somehow locked?

    sure....say I record a clip in track one with a bunch of plugins....export the clip to the audio region...then import back to the arrange...
    First of all it won't let me play the clip in Track 2, but if I shift the clip to track 3 it'll play....BUT I can't control the volume or pan .....very strange. I hate freezing stuff...although I have been for ages....but if this works it'll be cool....
    Thanks...

  • Why do some tracks, when imported from Audacity, when selected, immediately flip to a different track?

    Up until early 2012, I digitized thousands of LP tracks using Audacity, exporting them as MP3 files and then adding them to my iTunes library as AAC format.  This all worked great.
    Now, after a year using a new MacBook Pro, I have started digitizing my remaining dozen LP's after downloading and installing the latest version of Audacity (2.0.3).  I noticed that several - not all - of the newly digitized tracks, when selected in iTunes, would immediately jump to a different track.  Sometimes the jump would be to a much older track, and sometimes to a track that was purchased from the iTunes store.  Sometimes the jump would be to the next track in sequence.  A Genius Bar staff suggested that I change from MP3 to AIFF, and that seemed to help after I re-digitized the problem tracks.  Today, however, I noticed that 3 of the 11 tracks from an album I converted yesterday were jumping to other tracks.  I had the AIFF preference set to 32-bit.  Would changing it to 16-bit help?  Why would only some tracks be affected?
    Argh!

    You are welcome.  That issue between iTunes and Audacity comes up here every once in a while:

    If you are making archival copies of those LPs, keep the 32 bit copies somewhere and make 16-bit versions to use in iTunes.  Otherwise, just do everything in 16.

  • Audio dropout when importing from tape

    I have several imovie projects from many years ago backed up on DV tape. I decided to import them to imovie and convert them to itunes format videos
    to store them as computer files. The process had gone well, but I have one project where the first clip loses sound. I can hear the sound when the tape plays on the camcorder and I can hear the sound when the clips are being imported to imovie, but the sound is missing on the first clip - completely absent. All subsequent clips are fine.  The problem is the first 15-sec clip in a 45 min project, but it is critical.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    iMovie'08 to 11 - are far from tools of choice when working with miniDV tape material - as non of them can deliver 100% out to e.g. DVD or whatever You want to do with it.
    iMovie up HD6 and FinalCut are far more better.
    iMovie up to HD6 - Can import even if TimeBase code info is broken - set to NOT import as individual clips.
    If tape is recorded in LP-Mode - Then You got lot's of problem
    • You need the Original Camera that made the recording - even same type and No: doesn't help as tolerances are to thin/small.
    • Import into iMovie HD6
    • as NO individual Clips - set in iMovie pref.
    • and To TimeLine - not to Shelf
    • DIRECTLY after import - Extract Sound (Advance menu - down) - ELSE Audio get's out of Sync.
    Now I use to copy back to tape and CAMERA SET TO SP-Mode ! Just to get a good archive tape !
    Good Luck - Yours Bengt W

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

    Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
    Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

    No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault.  And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
    The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

  • Audio problem when importing video files.

    Hello everyone,
    I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
    Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
    However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
    I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time  as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
    I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
    Cheers
    Christophe
    PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

    Update to 10.0.5.
    You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.
