Manuel slide timing with an audio track

My wife is a professor and she is wanting to post podcasts of her lectures. I am trying to figure out how to include her Keynote '08 slides in those podcasts. Is there any way in Keynote '08 to add an audio file and still have manuel timing of the slides? Obviously, the slides are going to need to be displayed for varying amounts of time depending on how long she talks about the subject of each slide in the audio file. I have figured out how to do the record function and record varying timing for slide transitions. But that also picks up noise from my computer microphone. I already have the audio as a file. So how can I record the slide transitions so that they sink with the audio file without getting unwanted noise recorded? Should this be accomplished in Keynote, or is there a way to change slides at the proper times in Garageband?

I believe you would have to break up the audio and place a clip on each slide. You can have one audio file for the whole keynote presentation, but if the timings change it would be better to use just the sound clip you need for each slide. You could do this in garage band and import them through the media pallet.
Hope that helps.

Working with multiple audio tracks

Hello,
I'm working with video clips that have a stereo audio track (guide audio fed into the camera) synch'ed to 4 mono tracks (recorded from a variety of boom mics and lavaliers).
Although I've linked all the audio clips to the video, it still gets a bit cumbersome when performing T or L cuts. When I hold down the Option key, I still have to adjust each of the audio track separately.
Is there a more efficient way to deal with multiple audio tracks? Maybe some way to treat these audio tracks as one unit?
BTW I'm working in FCP 7.
Thanks,
Thien

One way:
Lock the video track.
Use the Edit Selection Tool to Select the audio transition points
This will automatically open the Trim window, where you can move the cut point - in this case I am moving the audio cut(s) 30 frames later than the video cut:
which gives me the displacement of all the tracks that I wanted:
You can use this quite quickly once you get used to it.

Export to Quicktime with multiple Audio Tracks?

Hi all --
I am on a tight deadline (48 hrs!) to deliver a Quicktime Prores file with 6 audio tracks: ch 1+2 dialog, ch 2+3 music&effects, ch 4+5 stereo mix. I'm working with FCP 6.
Now, I have figured out how to export the FCP 6 project to a Quicktime file with multiple audio tracks (in the Project settings, I specify 3 stereo channels, then I assign each audio track to one of the channels and export everything to a Quicktime file).
However, how can I send a stereo mix to channels 4+5?? FCP only allows me to assign each audio track one but not multiple output channels, and I didn't see a way where I could create a bus.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Something is being miscounted here. You say you have dialog on 1+2 and then say you have M&E on 2+3? I think you meant to say 3+4 and the stereo mix will be on 5+6. The easiest way to do this is to copy tracks 1-4 to tracks 5-8 by shift-option-dragging them there. Holding option will copy the tracks instead of moving them and holding shift will insure that the tracks will not move earlier or later. Then send 5+6 (dialog) to the 5+6 output (using the info in the above referenced discussion) and send 7+8 (music&effects) also to the 5+6 output. Done.

Can you export a Quicktime with multiple audio tracks?

I have a video with split audio tracks.
I'd like to archive a copy that retains all the individual tracks so that other people could just open the file later and not have to reconstruct the tracks (i could certainly archive all the tracks individually).
the problem i'm having is that FCP seems to only want to allow me to export 2 tracks of audio. I may be missing a setting, but i'm not sure.
I can digitize a clip from a digibeta with 4+ tracks, and when i open the clip in QT, it recognizes the individual tracks, so it seems as if the capabilities are there.
have they just not been integrated yet?

Help importing WMV files with 4 audio tracks....

Hello,
I am using a PC to run a robot show. The show runs off of WMV files recorded with 4 audio tracks.
The "front" audio tracks are the left and right chanels for sound.
The "rear" audio tracks are the signals the show runs off of.
(If you want to see the show... it's here http://www.yorkmiss.com/Curtains.wmv
I run the audio files using the windows media player and as you can see... it works fine.
However, I would like to use the I-tunes player since I can then controld the show remotely using my I-Touch.
The problem is that every time I import one of the audio file into I-tunes, it converts it to a new type of file that "blends" the front and rear chanels of audio together.
I've tried every different option in the import prefrences list - and they all have the same result.
Does anyone know a way of playing the files "as-is" without converting them, or is there a way of converting them I do not know about?
Here's an example of one of the files:
http://www.yorkmiss.com/ShowbizKylesmom_504.wma
Any help or suggestions would be welcome and appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Beth

Yes, I understand that now... but is there a way to convert to those file types while still preserving the 4 seperate audio chanels?
Thanks, Beth

How to burn a DVD with two audio track?

There is a projet with the original video and a second audio track with music. I want to burn a DVD with both audio tracks. When playing the DVD you should be able to select audio track 1 (the original sound) or audio track 2 (the music). With Adobe Encore DVD it was easy to configure the two audio tracks and burn the DVD. It is posible to do the same from Adobe Premier Elements 11?
Thanks,
Jordi

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, PrE does not allow for supplemental Audio Tracks, when authoring.
I use Adobe Encore for this, but it is only available bundled with Premiere Pro. I do not know if some other, third party, full-featured authoring apps., like Sony's DVD Architect can do that, but I would suspect that they can. The specifications for DVD Architect should have that information, and as it's quite common in full-featured authoring apps., I anticipate that it has that capability.
If you do go with that program, our MOD, Steve Grisetti, has written a very good book on DVD Architect, and it's available at Muvipix.com.
Good luck,

QT H.264 files with two audio tracks. Quicktime plays 2nd track first. ***?

I've been experimenting with H.264 (AVC) and my DVDs. Using Handbrake, I ripped a DVD to MP4 (H.264) and including the director's commentary as the second track.
When I play the MP4 with Quicktime Player, it plays the director's commentary instead of the main soundtrack. VLC, however, correctly plays the first track (main movie audio track) and it allows me to select the second track via a menu.
To get Quicktime to play the proper track, I have to open "Movie Properties" and manually uncheck the second track. This was never a problem with DivX/XviD encoded files with two audio tracks; Quicktime Player correctly played the first track.
Why does Quicktime ignore the first audio track in MP4s (but not AVIs) and is there a way to correct this?

I do have QT Pro.
H.264 files are usually saved in a MP4 container. That's what Handbrake, ffpegX, and D-Vision create, anyway.
The "Choose Language" option is greyed out (unavailable) when I open this H.264 MP4 in Quicktime. If I try to change the settings in "Movie Properties," it says that I must save it with the .MOV file suffix.
It makes no sense to me that Quicktime Player can correctly identify the main audio soundtrack in a XviD file with an AVI container but not in a H.264 video with a MP4 container which Apple has been touting as the latest, greatest thing. Even VLC, an open source product still in beta, gets it right.

Quicktime movie with 3 audio tracks. Can't select audio track!

I have a movie containing 3 audio tracks (3 different languages):
Format: H.264, 720x304, 16,7 Mio
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
When I play this movie with Apple Quicktime I hear a mix of all 3 languages at the same time. How can I select each audio track separately. With VLC player (freeware) it works fine.
Is the selection of the audio tracks a feature of Quicktime Pro or is this a bug in Quicktime?!

Hello lildog, hello QuickTimeKirk,
Thank you for your answer. In the meantime I solved this problem. It is caused by the program ”MP4Box” which I used to create the video with the 3 audio tracks. Apple Quicktime and iTunes needs ”very special” header settings inside the mp4 container. A new version of MP4Box with special switches for this case solves the problem. For more details see this thread on the gpac/MP4Box project homepage: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?threadid=2345177&forumid=287547
The VLC Player is much more docile with multiple audio tracks.

Newbie Question - Creating DVD from Premiere to Encore with 2 audio tracks

Hello and thanks for your time,
I'm pretty new to all this but seem to be getting the hang of things pretty well but one problem I'm having I can't seem to find an answer to.
In Premiere I am creating a dvd of a football game, i have the video with an audio track of the crowd and another audio track of the commentary. These are all edited together fine and work well. I then use the dynamic link to send the sequence to Encore and that's where the problem occurs.
I can't seem to get both audio tracks to appear in Encore? Any suggetions or tips on where I might find an answer?
cheers for the help and time
Ian

Ian,
This is not a cure to the issue, but is a workaround. It's the "old-fashioned" way that things were done before DL.
Export your Sequence as elemental streams, i.e. video-only and audio-only. Import your video-only file into Encore as a Timeline, and teh audio-only file as an Asset. From Project Panel, drag the audio to the appropriate timeline. Done.
Now, exactly what you choose for your Export and even how you do this will depend on your Project in PrPro and also your source Assets. For SD material, I'd choose DV-AVI Type II video-only (no multiplexing), and for the Audio 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV. If you have a version of PrPro prior to CS4, just Export Movie (settings above) for the Video and Export>Movie (or AME) for the Audio (settings above). Just make sure that the Export Video is checked for the DV-AVI, but the Export Audio is not. Change these two checkboxes for the Audio.
Now, for DL not working, as it should, what is the format of your source Audio? Do you have any Channel-mapping used? Does your Audio Mixer Panel show everything right there? Do you have one Audio Track either Muted, or Bypassed. Look in Audio Mixer, to make sure you do not have one Track Solo'ed.
Also, what version are you using, CS3, or CS4? Note: for CS4, you will use AME for the Exporting in the first part of the post.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why video with two audio tracks imports like one track (main)?

Ok, lets face one simple thing that is incredibly stupid in Premiere CC:
- I make video with two audio tracks (screencast with system sounds and microphone, separated)
- Import it to Premiere CC and see only one audio track, system sounds!
- What should I do to see both of them?
- Why Sony Vegas don't make me to go to support forums and make them both visible without extra actoins?

Great first post!

Export EDL with 20 audio tracks

Hi all!
I´ve a sequence with 20 audio tracks (original files / stereo mixes / 5.1) that i have to export to a audio house via EDL.
The EDL limits my track export (total of four).
Any of you guys exported to PTools using XML?
I know that version HD 7.2 is capable of using this files... any experience?
Do you have other way of doing this, via fcp project (?) any tip?
Thank you all!
HBars

I´ve 1hour 40min sequence and with omf i´ll have to separate all tracks (groups of two!), bah!
And what about XML...?
Thank you!

Sync multiple video clips with one audio track

I'm an FCPX noob, trying to sync some clips. I recorded a 1.5 hour concert with a DSLR along with an audio track using a separate digital recorder. I have seven video clips, all in sequence (stopping and restarting the camera because of clip length limitations) and one long audio track in WAV format. The audio track is longer than the combined video clips, and there are some short dead spaces in between the video clips when I turned off/on. Now I'm trying to sync them but when I do, the video clips get stacked together with lots of overlap.
I made a test with 3 minute video and audio clips and had no problem. But when I try to do the whole event, I get a jumbled mess.
I could cut the audio into pieces and sync each piece with its corresponding video, but that seems to defeat the sync process, as well as being a lot of work. And, wouldn't I end up with lots of overlap anyway, since my audio clips would have to be longer than my video clips?
Am I missing an easier way to do this, or a way to arrange things better? I can't imagine the problems with several cameras and several audio tracks; my project is actually pretty simple, since it is very linear.
Any suggestions? Thanks--

Sorry to take so long getting back to you. Thank you for this advice, but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. Is there a way to set the angle on all of the clips at the same time?
Yes. Select all the clips you want in the browser, and then in the inspector fill in the camera angle with the value you want. This can be just about anything, it does not have to be a number. I prefer to name it something meaningful, like "wide" or something.

Matching slide transition lengths to audio track

I have a number of still photos that I want to run through starting and ending with a predefined audio track
Is there any way (other than trial and error) of adjusting the clip lengths so that they fit the audio?
In any case, when I try to adjust all the lengths with the clip editor and tick 'applies to all slides' it randomly assigns some lengths more or less around the number I choose (e.g. if I chose 3.2 sec - all appear to be between 3 and 3.4 sec, but many are different. I don't have snap to beat or anything on

The way transitions work is to borrow half the frames needed from the clip right before it and half from the clip right behind it. If some of your transitions are longer than this, it must add same frames. Also some transitions appear to need more frames than others.
Having said that, there is a way to get close, and you can fine-tune by trail and error. The trick is to convert everything to a common denominator, and for movies, that would be frames.
Since your name implies you live in Europe, I will give a PAL example at 25 frames per second.
Let's say you have an audio track that is 3 minutes and 23 seconds long. This would be (3 minutes x 60 seconds/minute x 25 frames/second) + (23 seconds x 25 frames per second) = 4500 frames + 575 frames = 5075 frames.
Now let's say you have 69 photos in your movie. Then each slide would need 73.55 frames. You cannot have .55 frames so round up to 74 frames per photo. You can enter the 74 as the duration, or you can convert it back to time as 2 seconds and 24 frames.
Note: if you are not seeing frames, but are seeing tenths of seconds, go into imovie Preferences and check "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames"
Another way to do this that can be very effective is to use the Beat Marker Feature of iMovie, and leave out transitions all together. Here is a [sample from Ian Parkinson|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Crs1Mx92js]

.ts-files with multiple audio tracks / Premiere Elements 12

Hello forum,
once more I need a little help please.
I've created successfully a few DVD's, and by now I'm a master in creating my own menue templates , but now I have again some problems.
I imported a .ts file which I recorded on my Sat Receiver. This file contains a video track and 2 audio tracks:
1. German 6-channel AC3,
2. English 2-channel AC3 (I can add a screenshot of the file info's if needed).
Now my problem is that I only hear some kind of background sound, music and so on, no voices. So not really one of the tracks I mentioned above.
The file works good when I play them with VLC player, and I'm able to chose the 2 languages there.
What I don't really understand is, I created several DVD's with exactly the same file type, I mean the file info's are identical except the lenght differs for a few minutes.
Is there a way to chose the audio track in Premiere Elements like I can chose it in VLC player? Or is there another way to bring the voices in there?
Thanks in advance,
Jessie
My system is a Macbook Pro, 16 GB RAM, 2.5 Ghz, Premiere Elements 12

Hi ATR,
yes, that's what I meant. It worked without problems with a lot of files in different projects. I made a few screenshots, maybe they help to get it fixed.
This is the file that worked fine:
And this is the one that doesn't work:
By now I haven't changed anything in the settings as I don't know what I could change.
The files that worked came out with the german soundtrack, so I assume 5.1 channel.
I'm really out of ideas now :/
