Max audio tracks in flash

Hello there,
Is the absolute maximum amount of tracks allowed in flash
definitely eight? I need to use twelve.
Any takers?
Marty

thanks for the update - good to know :)

Audio Track Recording (Armed) button plays a midi sound when it flashes red

Hard to explain but when I click the "R" Record/arm button on an Audio track it makes a sound through my midi device (my keyboard) in time to the flashing of the red light.
I've just installed an RME Fireface 800 and I'm using the MIDI interface to connect this to my keyboard and use through Logic
Does anyone know how to turn this off? When I actually start recording it eventually turns itself off, so it only happens when I arm the track.

it sounds like logic is trying to send midi to a control surface telling it to display the record light. I'd check in the control surface setup window and see what's there.

How to find max audio peak of combined audio tracks with effects applied?

Hello all,
I am working in PPro CS5.5.
Often when I am working on a timeline I have two audio tracks of the same songs, one from the camera and one from a separate sound recorder, synced on the timeline so they combine into one signal. Applied to these tracks I might have an E.Q. effect or highpass/lowpass filter. Now I know that the max peak of each track or individual clips is easy to find using the 'Audio Gain' menu item, what I am hoping for is the equivalent of that menu item but related to the final output after the two tracks signal has been added together and effects have been all been applied? It is a very laborious task to have to listen through the whole timeline to discover if the output is going over 0db, if there was a way I could locate on the timeline where the max output is, that would definitely solve the problem.
Finding the way to do this would save literally hours per project! It's the one thing that makes me inwardly groan when I have to effect the output volume, which I have to do most of the time.
Hopefully,
Peter.

I have found audio to be more difficult to learn than video. Audio has so much more subtlety, where perceptions don't always equate to what seems obvious. With multiple tracks adding together things get very complex very fast and peak amplitude has very little relationship to volume. When you compress a waveform the volume can be increased! Who'd have thunk it? Then you have S/N ratios and harmonics, soft clipping and hard clipping... Which brings me to the option on the Dynamics Effect called Soft Clip that is a smoother kind of limiter.
It's amazing where a simple one line suggestion can lead you; having worked a bit more with the dynamics 'effect' I am deciding that I like it a lot. The automation is not absolute but it broadens the tolerances I can work within. Very liberating!

Add Multi-Audio Track Ability to Flash Export

When authoring DVDs and Blu-ray disks we have options to add alternate audio tracks which the user can select on the fly or we can add menu options for their selection. This ability is absent in flash exports from CS3.

Hi
Not in iMovie as standard (only two alt. - Pic in Pic or Side by Side)
Work around:
• Create the MultiClip in QuickTime Player Pro - and import this - or -
• Create first Pic in Pick as a new iMovie project
- Export this as a full quality QT.mov
- Import this into a New Project
- Add one more Pic
- Export / Import / Add - and so om
• Use FinalCut Pro instead - all things like this is so much easier

How best to boost the audio in a Flash file?

I haev a Flash file where the audio is low volume. I would
like to boost the volume level in the file.
1. Is there an editor that would allow me to do this? The
only guidance I have found so far from Adobe is to create a new
file and adjust the scripting characteristics, which I'd prefer not
to do.
2. I have several good sound editors. Would one option be to
export the sound track, improve its volume, and then import the
improved sound track back into Flash?
3. Is it better to export the Flash file to some other format
in order to get better audio editing capability?
Thank you,
Joyce

I'd opt for 2: fix up the audio track in an external sound
editor and then reimport it into Flash.

TS2289 Audio Track Won't Play

I imported an audio clip yesterday and it worked fine. Today when I opened my project, there was a yellow warning triangle in the top left above the first frame of my movie and the audio track won't play. What should I do?
And where the heck is the "clock buttom"? I wasn't able to follow Apple Support's suggestions because I can't find it.
Mike

I've adjusted my project according to Brian'statement, so I made all audio tracks and video track the same length, but it still doesn't work when I create the flash file. It plays only 1 audio track, whatever language you choose. It plays the audio track that is"active" in the project. This happens only with the flash. If I burn a DVD, then everything works fine... Am I doing something wrong ?

Macbook Pro C2D HD 5400rpm. How many audio tracks?

I'm looking to move from my Ti 1Ghz G4 to a newer Macbook Pro C2D, and i've a question about using the internal HD on the MBP.
On my old TiBook, ive popped in a 100GB 7200rpm drive, and from this i've been able to acheive around 44 to 46 stereo tracks (playback only) before i get "disk too slow errors" (the drive had around 55GB used)
Does anyone know the max number of audio tracks that can be streamed off an internal 160GB 5400rpm in a MBP C2D?
Anyone able to run a quick test for me please?
Powerbook Ti 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB ram, 100GB 7200rpm HD

whoa he came down hard on you there...
ok i have a macbook, not pro, didn't need the little extra u get more for a lot more money if you buy pro, not worth it to me... i run my sessions on the internal 5400rpm. keep everything in the lappy, samples and all, have her juiced up 2g's of ram and let me tell ya i haven't had any speed issues at all. i have all of logics performance tweaks set to blazing (128, live playback only) and it's comparable to my G5 tower. These Intel chips are no joke. If you have room in your go bag for the external HD take it with you cuz it'll even run sweeter. i'm seriously thinking of getting rid of the old tower and getting another lappy, but no i'll prob just get another macbook, for a grand it ain't bad at all, throw in the apple care, max out the ram and presto you've got all your gonna need from a computer-any application

Adding More Than 16 aUdio Tracks.

How do I add more than 16 Audio Tracks when my computer says there are no more audio tracks available?

" I set the max number of audio tracks to 35 and I am still notable to add more audio tracks."
Did you then re-launch the audio driver by deselecting it and then re-selecting it? It does not take effect until you do.

QuickTime doesn't allow to choose each audio track of one language

1) Before you tell me that I'm asking question in wrong community section, I can't enter to QuickTime section with new Safari 8.0 and it says that I have to download Safari.
2) I have some videos in .mp4 format and it contains few English audio tracks, few other language audio tracks and when I chose one of multiple languages Quicktime always chose the very same track from this language. And QuickTime marks all audio tracks of this language with checkmarks. So there is no effect when you try to switch to another language
3) By the way. iTunes playback has no error with this, but it's still in old Mavericks style. Thank you.

Many of my QuickTime files use Flash tracks for things like controllers and the only way they can be properly viewed is if "Enable Flash" is checked.
It's a completely different animal inside the MIME Settings options.
If you allow Flash in the Miscellaneous setting then the QuickTime plug-in is going to try and open the content and the Flash plug-in isn't used. Since QuickTime can only open very old Flash media the browser gives a ? over the file.
Turning it off allows the Flash plug-in be used.

How to make two mono audio tracks into a stereo pair?

My video clip, brought over into Premiere CS6 from Final Cut Pro 5, has the usual left and right audio tracks, but in Premiere they are not linked into a stereo pair. Thus the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track.
In Final Cut, I can quickly convert two independent audio tracks into a stero pair by selecting the tracks and then going to the menu Modify > Stereo Pair. I can't figure out how to do this in Premiere.
When two audio tracks are not linked, the volume level has to be adjusted separately in each track, which wastes time. But after two tracks are linked into a Stereo Pair in Final Cut, adjusting either track adjusts them both, together. That's what I want to do now in Premiere.
So, how do I make two separate audio tracks into a linked Stereo Pair in Premiere?

Hi Tom,

I need to do in my videos that I either can't do in Premiere or that require involved workarounds like this, things that I can do instantly
I used to think like you do. These aren't workarounds, per se. The issue is that Premiere Pro is a different program, so you have to approach some things slightly differently.
Actually, Premiere Pro's audio capability is more like a DAW than Final Cut was, and more powerful too, so if you know that workflow it makes more sense. A lot of FCP people don't have training in programs like ProTools or Audition, so it's more difficult for folks like yourself (and me, too) to catch on. Once you learn it, though, you begin to see its power.
Tom77 wrote:
things that I can do instantly with the flick of a keyboard command in Final Cut, such as link and unlink audio tracks.
In Premiere Pro CC, you can link and unlink audio and video tracks with a keyboard shortcut for "Linked Selection." You have to create it in your Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, but it works just like the one in FCP. Make it Shift + L if you like.
Tom77 wrote:
Not to mention the fact that I can have as many projects open in Final Cut as I want, and copy and paste between them. Each open project becomes a tab on the timeline, and I can jump beween projects by just clicking on their tabs. I was shocked when I tried to open two projects in Premiere to find that it only allows one at a time to be open. That seems really primitive--
Again, you can achieve what you want (copying and using items from other projects), you just have to go about it differently. All you do is navigate to the other project files in the Media Browser and import items that you need in this fashion. So, no, you don't have more than one project open at a time, but you got what you wanted, stuff from another projects in your current project. That works for me, anyway.
Again, Premiere Pro is a different program. You can achieve the same goals, but sometimes have to go about it differently. Some things are faster, some slower. Some are easier to learn, some harder. Hopefully, you see my point.
I need video generators to make arrows, circles, squares, etc. and transitions such as edge wipes and clock wipes to animate them, all to point out and emphasize things that I'm demonstrating and explaining in my videos. Premiere has no such generators, nor are there any third-party plug-ins available to add them, that I've been able to find.
Do you know about the Titler? It has a lot of useful shapes. You can also create shapes in After Effects and Photoshop and import them. The shapes you make in those programs can look a lot better than the stock FCP effects.
There are lots of third party effects, some that have generators. Check out Boris Continuum, FX Factory, CoreMelt, Film Impact, and more.
There are pitifully few transitions in Premiere at all (the Mac version) compared to Final Cut.
I'm really not a transitions person, and I find the FCP transitions looking tired anyway. The only one I really need is a white flash and I can either create it, or use a third party flash effect. If you need cool, modern transitions, check out Film Impact or the other third party plug in foundries I mentioned. There is an Edge Wipe transition, called "Wipe." If you need feathering, check out the Wipe Effect, which you can keyframe to look like a transition.
More and more I would like to be moving completely into Premiere, but I keep running into these inadequacies in the program, these roadblocks, for my purposes at least.
The more you work with it, the less you'll be working with FCP. That's what most people are saying anyway. Sure, there are minor annoyances associated with learning a new app, but you also take the good along with it. I suggest you just dive right in. It may take longer at first, but you can get your speed up in time.
I have no doubt that sometime in the future Premiere will become everything that I want it to be, and at that time I can finally abandon Final Cut for good, as I wish I could do right now.
I also came from FCP, taught FCP for nearly a decade, wrote a book about FCP, help start the first FCPUG, worked at Apple on two versions of FC Studio, so I do know what you are going through. Just keep at it and keep posting here. I'll be glad to help you with any workarounds or confusion related to moving over from FCP.
Thanks,

Premiere Pro CC and missing audio tracks for .mts files

Hello guys,
I used to edit my .mts files with Premiere Pro CC without any issues until yesterday.
Now I import my .mts file (made with a Sony VG900) but Premiere doesn't recognize the audio tracks (that I can hear just fine with VLC).
I tried changing the extension in .m2ts but it didn't work, I also tried reinstalling Premiere but, again, it didn't work and I tried (I was desperate) to install Premiere CS6 just to check if maybe the problem was just about the CC version. Guess what? It didn't work...
I tried also converting the file with Encoder in .mp4 but after the conversion I can't hear the audio with VLC and, of course, it doesn't work on Premiere.
Do you think it's a Premiere issue or a file problem?
I used those same files for other videos (like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1X5vsZ-5yI) and I had no problems. Then I updated Premiere, I moved the files in other folder and the problem came to life.
Any idea?
(I'm waiting for my colleague to send me a new mts file just to check if I accidentally damanged the old ones).

A similar problem here..... although......
Take a look at this screenshot
As you will see, the blue marked audio is repeated audio of less than on sec. Certainly not the way it has been recorded.
I think I've got the answer........ (working with Premiere Pro CC, always up to date, Mac OX 10.9.2; Camera: Sony HXR NX3)
1. Don't copy but clone your flash card to the location where to edit on your hard drive. At the same time: alt+click on external flash card, draw it onto your hard drive location.
(or use carbon copy cloner, which I use for backup and transferring avchd files).
2. Don't import regularly via the import dialogue box (cmd-i). Instead: use the mediabrowser browser, locate the map "private" (as often standard named),
3. Via cmd-a (select all): select all videofiles.
4. click right mouse button and select import.
This way, all the video and audio files will be imported.
If however you have alreade re-used your camera flash card for recordings and don't have access to the 'corrupted' files to be imported into your project, you won't be able to solve the problem. You just lost some of the essential data which were not copied onto your Mac.
This solution I found for my problem may well be the one you are looking for........
Another solution might be to convert the compressed avchd - before importing into your project - into uncompressed .mov filed. However...... you will lose data so this is not exactly what I would prefer if the former described workflow does fix the problem for you.
Please let me know if this works for you or not.
Good luck!

Peter

Adjusting audio levels on an entire audio track

it may sound like a rookie question, but how do i change the level on an entire audio track, start to end. i am not interested in a "nest items" command, but in a situation that lowers every audio clip on the track by x and allows me still to see all the clips in the sequence and do further adjusting on a single clip if needed.
any ideas?
many thanks,
KN

To elaborate on what Max advised (also available through Modify->Levels), you have two choices for a gain level changes: "absolute" and "relative."
A "relative" adjustment will change the levels relative to where they are now. For example, the current gain level is at 6db then keyframed to 9db over the course of a clip. Making a relative adjustment of -4db will result in the gain levels being set to 2db at the first keyframe and 5db at the second keyframe.
An "absolute" adjustment will set the gain level to whatever value you enter, regardless of what its setting is prior to the change. Using the above example, making an absolute change of -4db to the same clip would result in the entire clip set to -4db.

Bugged audio playback? When I start working with more than 1 audio track.

Hi!
I have been using premiere elements 12 for editing FullHD videos.
Brand new for me just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
Now during the last couple weeks I have had this MAJOR proglem with editing the audio.
This problem is headache and turns my simple editing into almost impossibilites.
I have had this problem with all my projects. _ALL_
Usually the problem seems to appear when I want to start working with several audio tracks.
At somepoint my projects just get ruined, I simply cannot hear the audio tracks.
The audio starts to disapear randomly from all the audio tracks.
It is not only playback problem. When I exported the video, the audio was partly missing, same as the project.
I have tried to look help on forums and search all what I could find, but havent been able to solve this.
Small fix has slightly helped:
I export audio to single track and bring it back to project. This works but I still usually have more editing to do.
I simply cannot understand why the playback disapears, I fear it is a bug.
I found lot of earlier version problems on people with similar type of problems, but no help for this version of program.
To solve the matter I have changed my audio setting in PE12.
Tried Premiere Elements WDM Sound and ASIO4ALL V2, but same problem on both.
I have looked up that my audio playback device and PE12 matches, and are not muted, and volumes maxed.
I have deleted my C:\ appdata\roaming\adobe premiere elements & premiere elements 12 folder preferences.. not helping..
I press the update pretty much everyday hoping for new version.. But yes, program keeps telling me its the latest.
I usually only work with 3 audio track maxinum. And I am doing really the most basic stuff here..
I have set all my audios to foreground and it has given me best results, but it does not seem to take the problem away as at somepoint randomly my audio playback is missing again, randomly across the playback.
Please anyone? I am feeling hopeless here.

First of all, thank you for replying my message!
I will go and try to answer best I can.
Source media properties:
Progressive frame rate, I record this from a game.
Recording program: dxtory
codec: Lagarith Lossless codec
Format: avi
Frame width: 1920
Frame height: 1080

total bit rate 1992192kbps
Frame rate 30/frames/seccond
Audio of video properties:
Codec: PCM

Audio sample rate 48 kHz
In addition to that I use wav files for music and narrate
Music files sizes 20-50mb
bit rate: ~1411kbps
In total sizes of audio involved is usually something like 300mb
What are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size readings.
I opened new project and this is what i got:
Editing mode: HD 1080i
Timebase: 25,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
Audio is 48000 Hz
(I dont know how to change these, btw. Program don't seem to let me change editing mode.
I also looked up my most recent project and found these settings:
Editing Mode: DSLR
Timebase: 30,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
..and same audio settings
Do the problems persist if you start a new project? Do you find the audio problems develop when the Timeline content is fairly well developed or can the problems occur when there a minimal amount of content of those tracks? Let us look at the size and duration of this project.
Yes, I have had this problem with all my projects. Sometimes it goes away tho, just enough for me to work bit more. My work progress usually starts by clipping the video material, like 1h material to 8minutes in clips. After that I want to work with audio tracks, and here problems start! When I start working with more than 1 track, so the problem is at later stage. To fix the problem a small fix I have used, I export audio like music and effects tracks together to 1 wav and bring it back. After that, I start working with narrate track. To describe the problem with audio:
Audio Randomly starts to disapear when I playback, and can also be gone if I export the video out.
My source videos total size are usually within 80Gb max limit and audio edit material 300mb total.
In my last project my biggest source video was 47GB and leingth of 1h 4m, in addition to that I had 3 smaller videos, sizes of 1GB, 1,54GB and 300MB.
Is there any evidence that you are accidentially moving the audio track rubberband to alter the audio volume. That rubberband is the orange line that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip when you are looking at the wave form display style of that audio track. The rubberband represents audio volume.
No, audio volumes might have been adjusted in my tracks but they are present. The problem is usually like ~2-5seconds, a random audio track can be heard (like music or narrate) or just no sounds at all. This makes it very difficult to work with the audio. Also I gotta say that this problem starts by simply having the 2-3 audio tracks.. In my recent project the only adjustment I used to edit the audio was fade in/out.
I don't have any other audio problems with any other programs.
I am more than happy to provide more information if needed. I hope this information helps.
In addition I can say that when I close Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it crashes. No idea why.
I have also looked up my firewall settings, anything involved adobe and premiere..
In addition some effects like HD text templates make "Adobe Media Core CS6" crash. I tend to just not use em, or if I need em, I add em at end of the edits.
I hope this helps, I would really like to solve this problem.
Thank you alot for taking the time to answer! I welcome anyone to help mee too! Please giev links to similar problems too. Thank you everybody!

Difficulty lining up cuts at precise spots in the audio track

Hello,
(I guess this turned into just a rant because I think "it just works that way" is really the only answer but if someone has any suggestions, I'm all ears)
I'm trying to use iMovie 11 to build a music video. I have my audio track and I'm adding clips to it that I want to position at precise spots in the music - beats, key changes, words, etc.
(First rant; I can't stand that the audio track is only as long as the amount of clips you have. I want to play the song past my last clip to help decide what clip I want to put in next - argh!!! I have to put dummy clips in the movie to make the audio play past where I'm working - insane)
Anyway, trying to line up cuts with certain spots in the audio is proving to be very frustrating. Yes, I know about beat markers but even if I put in beat markers, I can't figure out what to line up with them. Is it the trailing edge of the first clip or the leading edge of the next clip. The fact that there are gaps between the clips makes it impossible to tell where the cuts really are. It just doesn't make sense to me. Obviously, the audio and video is continuous, so what is happening in the gap? Where is the cut?
The other thing that makes it difficult is that the timeline stretches depending on the duration of a clip that is sitting on it. It seems like they do this so that they can have thumbnails that are always at least a certain size. When the duration of a clip gets short, they have to stretch the timeline because it has to be as long as the thumbnail picture. This distorts the waveform and again makes it hard to find known shapes. I can't understand this logic. The timeline should be the same scale all the way across.
The Precision Editor seems to have a mind of it's own. If I line up the cursor with a beat marker and click the clip gets trimmed way before the beat marker would indicate.
I guess I just don't get it. Does anyone else have these problems???
(end of rant)

Thanks for the reply,
What I mean about the space between clips is, on the timeline, there are visual gaps between clips. I know there aren't actual gaps in the video but visually, the clip thumbnails are separated by a gap. The audio waveform however, is displayed as continuous below the clipthumbnails. So the question is, where is the actual cut relative to the audio. Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
Those clips actually meet somewhere in relation to the audio. Where? Does the second clip start right at that rise in the wave form (just left of the beat marker) or does it start further left, right after the end of the first clip where the audio falls down? It seems like there should be a corresponding gap in the display of the audio and then it would be clear where the clips line up in relation to the audio. No?
On the length of the thumbnails thing, I know about the slider but regardless of the scale, the thumbnail pictures never get below a certain width. So, if you've got really short clips - like still frames that I want to flash in time with a quick beat - since the thumbnails don't get very narrow, iMovie has to stretch the audio waveform that runs beneath the thumbnail so that it matches the length of time of the clip. You can see this happening if you watch the timeline during playback. The playhead will be moving along smoothly but when it gets to the short clips, it will zip along much faster across those clips (because they are actually stretched relative to real-time), and then slow back down again when it gets to longer clips. The fundamental issue in my mind is that the playhead should not change speed during playback. It distorts the whole timeline and makes time comparisions of different clips nearly impossible.

Two Audio tracks in one slide?

I've looked everywhere for what ought to be a simple answer
to a simple question, but can't find one...
Is there any way to have more than one audio recording in a
single slide in Captivate 2.0? Let's say I want to have a soft
music track playing in the background, plus an audio clip from a
narrator going at the same time. Or I've got the same audio track
that I'm going to use over and over again ("Click the NEXT
button"), and I just want to have it play at the conclusion of
another narrated track. Surely there's got to be a way to do
something this obvious, and yet I've scoured the instructions and
the internet, and can't find anything. When I attempt to drag a
second recording into a slide, it replaces the existing recording
with the new one. The assumption seems to be that nobody would ever
want more than one audio track on a single slide, either
concurrently or sequentially. Am I just missing something
obvious?

spjarrell, sorry to see you are unhappy but it looks to me
like it is just a case of frustration with your own level of
expertise. Osmosis is hardly ever the best way to handle the
learning curve for new software. You have to actually put forth an
effort, do some study, and - probably most important, don't be
afraid to ask questions right here.
Did you notice that Adobe Community Expert Rick gave Wilma a
full and complete solution to her problem? What made you think this
program would be similar in any way to something you owned seven
years ago? Did someone tell you this is "Just like Flash was back
in 2000?". If so, you need to change your vendors because this one
is lying to you.
I'll help with your only question, to wit ...
quote:
I have been trying to figure how to start an audio clip when I
click on a button. However, any time I add audio to anything on the
slide, it automatically starts when the slide starts.
Any audio you add will begin playing when that object first
appears on the time-line or is activated by an action. If you
want audio to play when a button is clicked, place the audio on the
slide or object that will immediately follow the button-click
action.
For instance, you can put the audio on the following slide,
and set the button's properties for a "successful" click-action to
"Go To Next Slide".
Or perhaps you would rather attach the audio to an invisible
highlight box (create the highlight with "0" for a border, and
"100%" for Fill Transparency) ... then position the highlight box
on the time-line so it appears immediately after the button (which
is pausing the slide?), then set the button properties on
"successful" click to "Continue".
When the button is clicked, the slide will "continue" down
the time-line for that same slide, and will immediately come to the
invisible highlight box which in turn will immediately begin
playing the audio. There are any number of ways to accomplish what
you want - these are a few that come immediately to mind, and
hopefully will be of some help to you.
P.S. Welcome to the User2User forums. We are always happy to
help, but please ask your question to see if there is a simple
solution
before condemning the product. Most user issues are just a
matter of knowing the tricks and advanced uses, but the experts
