Making a short Intro from a longer track?

Hey guys
I'm pretty new to video editing and I need a short intro for a project I am working on. I have a theme track which goes with the video, but I need to cut off the begining of the track at about 4secs and find a way to end it without just fading out. It's a punchy start and I'm wondering if there is something I can do in SB CS4?
I'm thinking something on the lines of a kind of prolonged effect which sustains the end which can then be faded out. Like holding the last note and adding an effect to it.
Sorry if I'm not explaining this well. As I say, I am new to this. Please tell me if I can give any more info?
This is the first 7secs of the track and I'm thinking something needs to happen about 4.5 secs.

Hi Sampleconstruct,
Works like a dream. But I'm a bit blocked here. It creates a 'score' in a separate window. Now is there a way I can translate this 'score' into midi notes I can then send to an instrument? Or where you meaning that having the 'score' now, I can use it to play out the midi notes? Which is cool. But even though I can write music quite efficiently (have scored for symphonies), the irony is that I read very poorly for performing (humiliating).
Is the above what you meant, or is there a way to transform the score now into midi notes. I'm trying to figure it out. Not having instant luck.

Making a shorter video from a long one

Hello,
I have a 30 min. project completed but I want to have a shorter version for a different audience. How can I just pull the most important clips from the 30 min. video to make a video that is about 15min. long without starting the editing process from scratch?
Thanks,
Michael C

Yes, I think so. What you call "tracks" will be called "sequences" by FCE. Select each sequence in the timeline in order and for each do File > Export > (normally as "As QuickTime"). You will get a QT movie (.mov) of each track/sequence which you could distribute as is or put into DVD Studio Pro, or Toast, to burn a multi-track DVD.

Making multiple tracks from one big track

I've got a CD that has 7 songs on it, but only shows as 1 long track (54:06) when I try to import it. I'd like to edit it so it imports/plays as 7 songs and not 1. I've figured out how to mark/edit the first song, but that's all. How can I reimport the original song so that I can do the other 6 tracks? I've looked at a lot similiar postings, but there were no answers. Apparently this is a problem a lot of people are having. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

As i mentioned earlier, by selecting to convert the original song it is just making a copy of the song, and you do not have to have the CD to do so. Just select the song you want to duplicate and then select convert to...(whatever file format you want).
Hope this helps

Ideas for making CD from one long audio file

Hi. Any angels out there willing to suggest the easiest way to make a CD of songs from one long audio file? I'm a teacher and recorded my little 4 year old students singing all their favorite songs. Now I want to turn it into a CD for parents. Should I create new files for every song, cut and paste that part of the audio file into its own song file, save, then throw them all into wave burner? Seems laborious but can't figure another way. Thanks if you've got an idea!

I've only used WB once, so I THINK this is the way to do it:
Import the whole single track into WB, and use the scissor tool to cut the file where you want the new track to begin. Wherever you cut WB will make a new track. Then you can tweak the beginning and end of tracks, or do fades accordingly. When you burn it will create a CD with these tracks.

Problem with a long tracks like audiobooks, half or more then hour

Please, help me to solve the problem with forwarding or other navigation with long tracks... when i try to forward some long track my ipad do it with repeating of short pieces of that track, twice or more... but the time counter are working correctly and count all the time. At last i have a track forwarded to the midlle or less but ipod thinks that is the end of the track and switching to the next

Rustam,
I think the best way to do it is to create linking text boxes, so that the overflow of text from one box appears in the linked box on the next page.
To do this, go to View > Show Layout, then click in the gray margin area to make your cursor disappear. Now when you insert a text box, it will be defined as Fixed On Page, allowing you to move it wherever you want. Insert the first box, then click on the little blue "ear" on the lower right of the box. That will create a second, linked box. Drag that second box to the next page. Move and expand the two boxes as needed.
Adding a background color to text is easy. Whether the text is on the main text layer or in a text box, highlight the text, click on the Text inspector > More button, then check the Paragraph Fill box. From there, click on the color box, crayons, then choose the color you want in the background. Drag that color from the swatch into the paragraph.

Is there a short cut to move a track to the beggining

I use garagband to record jam sessions. So I have one realy long track and then I go back through split up the tracks, but some times I need to drag a track to the beggining and if it's the end of a 4 hour jam it takes a while to drag it all the way to the beggining. Is there a shortcut to move it to the front/beggining of the project?

no, the best you can do is use the zoom slider to zoom all the way out, making the drag-move shorter

Burning long tracks spanning several CDs: Can I change burn length per CD?

I bought three very long tracks totaling 18 hours from iTunes. I want to listen to them in my car through a CD player. I burned the CDs (16 CDs total), and iTunes filled the CDs up to the brim (80 minutes each) when I burned them. Today I listened to the first CD, and near the end of the CD the sound started to cut out until it finally wouldn't play. The first hour of that CD was fine. I suspect that I can't burn that much onto my CDs, and would like to split up the long tracks into, say, 60-minute chunks per CD rather than 80-minute chunks, but cannot find a way in iTunes to do this.
Is there a way? Or do I have to try a hack with some other program to do this?

Hi
The error log doesnt provide any very useful information.
According to this error log the simulation was running correct but the burning process was not started.
In such case its very hard to say why it happens. Possibly the drive is damage and cannot calibrate the lens properly or you use not compatible medias.
The burning process depands also on the fiels and data which youwant to burn.
Some data, CD, DVDs are encrypted and its not possible to burn and to copy it.
In other case you could also try to burn the medias with lower speed and not with 24x.
But in worth case you the drive has a malfunction and you have to replace it ;(

My Macbook Pro is working fine, but keeps making 3 short beeps

My MBP has started making 3 short beeps every minute or so.
It appears to be working fine, however.
I rebooted it, and ran both the short and long diagnostics, neither of which found any problems.
What do I need to do?

OK, I've resolved this, and its a real dinger.
I logged out of my MBP and logged in again as another user, and there was no beeping, so I determined it wasn't hardware related.
I logged back in as myself and disabled all startup applications, but there was still beeping.
I looked at my system log again, and noticed that there was lots of lines like this:
May 2 15:29:10 Garreths-MacBook-Pro.local coreaudiod[1414]: Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is active
which was happening at exactly the same time as the beeps.
I started playing around with audio, and noticed that when I killed the coreaudiod daemon, Chrome crashed. This led me to think that maybe this was something to do with a Flash update, so I started poking around in Flash to find a disable option.
While looking, I noticed a Chrome extension call "Sleep for Gmail". I disabled this, and the beeping stopped. I looked in its setting, and it has an option to play a Notification Sound. Piece of sht software just plays a quad-beep and doesn't pop-up an alert, so you have no idea what the beep means! Arrrgghhh!
Anyway for other, the Apple hardware warning beeps are dull pronounced beeps with a distinctive space between each beep so you can count them.
What I heard was a sort of rapid pager type beep. If you here something similar, its probably software related and not hardware related.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.

Removing extra spaces from a long document

Hello
I have seen a number of find/change and GREP formulas to do similar things. I have NO scripting or coding experience and have labored to understand GREP.
So I am a little afraid to use it as I don't know what all the modifiers refer to (I do have a printout of some neat GREP cheatsheets like Mike Witherell's that I can absorb until I obtain a good reference )
I need something I can copy and paste into either find/change or GREP dialog that will do the following in less than 12 steps (hopefully) without doing something catastrophic like removing all of my paragraph marks (which I almost did using someones GREP expression)
No spaces before any comma, period, exclamation mark, question mark, colon, semicolon
One space only after any of those
One Space before any opening parenthesis and one space after the closing parenthesis
No space after the opening parenthesis or before the closing parenthesis
Remove any double or extra spaces ( en, em etc.)
Remove any commas before parentheses
Remove any spaces after a paragraph mark
I think that's it
I did find this one recently (Maybe Jongware?)
[~m~>~f~|~S~s<~/~,~3~4%]{2
Which from my dim understanding addresses em, en, flush and hair space , nonbreaking space ,figure space,third space--not sure of the rest. Really this is way over my head.
I know this will be a piece of cake for you guys
Thanks

A: Removing extra spaces from a long document

Peter is too modest, he's doing just great.
No space BEFORE-One Space after ---period,semicolon,colon, exclamation, question mark,CLOSING Parenth,Bracket,Brace, single & Dbl. quotation marks
Find (\s)([.,;:!\)\]\}~}~]])
Replace with $2
No space AFTER-One Space Before----OPENING bracket,brace,parenthesis,Dbl & single quotes
Find ([\[\{$~{~[])(\s)
Replace with $1
These remove the space before/after but do not automatically add a space after/before.
In the first case, you could add a space right after the '$2' in the Replace With string, but it already may have a space, in which case you suddenly have two. One alternative is to optionally remove it with the Find string (add it as an optional match) and always add it with the Replace string, but remember that this string will only be found if there is a space preceding it. That way you'd only check the space after in cases where there was a bad space before.
So I propose you add another two find/changes to add the space, only when necessary.
One Space After: find
([.,;:!$\]\}~}~]])(?!\s)
replace:
$0 [followed by one single space]
One Space Before: find
(?<!\s)([\[\{$~{~[])
replace:
[one single space] $0
Color-coding with my WhatTheGrep might make it just a tad clearer what's going on in that jumble of codes:
(1 [ .,;:! $ \] \} ~} ~] ] 1) (?!! \s !)
and
(?<!<! \s <!) (1 [ \[ \{ \( ~{ ~[ ] 1)
(Orange is lookahead/lookbehind, blue is a regular escaped character, pink is an InDesign special character, green is normal grouping parentheses, and lavender is a character group.)

How can I extract the two channels from a stereo track?

Hi,
I am writing a class that is able to draw an audio signal. It seems to be working well but I have a question. If I load a mono audio file I am able to draw it on a graph by using the byte[] array and everything is ok until now. That's the code:
void Draw(byte[] x)
            Graphics g=getGraphics();
            Graphics2D g2=(Graphics2D)g;
            g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,                     RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
            for(int i=0; i<x.length-6; i++)
                g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(((i*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)+5, (getHeight()/2)-          ((x*(getWidth()-6))/x.length), (((i+1)*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)+5, (getHeight()/2)-     ((x[i+1]*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)));
The results is correct only if I have a mono track. Obviously when I get a stereo track the array becomes very large so here the question. How can I extract the two audio channels from a stereo track?
Thanks in advance.
Maurizio Di Vitto

A mono audio stream is stored [sample, sample, sample, sample], so just a list of samples in an array.
A stereo sample is interleaved in the same manner, so you get [left-sample, right-sample, left-sample, right-sample]
So every nth sample is the 1st channel, every nth+1 is the 2nd channel...

Does anyone know how to separate a movie track from an audio track on the new Mavericks Garage band. It used to be very easy on the iLife 11 version. If anyone could respond ASAP I'd be grateful. I need to make an audio file from a video.

I urgently need to make some audio tracks from videos using the new 2013 GarageBand. In iLife11 Garageband, this was very easy. However, I cannot see how to do it in the new one. The alternative might be to revert to the iLife11 version, so does anyone know how to do this. It's extremely urgent since I need to produce these for a court custody hearing which will take place at 0800 GMT UK time on 31st October 2013. Please help.
Thank you.

When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.
