Merge Clips Question - Sound merged into one track?

Hi there,
I've just switched over a feature project from 5.5 to 6 and a new, infinitely better equipped operating system. As I finally delve into the synched footage (merged in 5.5 but just about to start cutting in 6), however, I'm realizing that it seems to have merged all the sound tracks into one track? Sounds like it's all there, but just wanted to make sure that was supposed to be the case. The rest of the channels are blank, but from what I'm hearing, it sounds like everything was merged into one, because I'm picking up separate lavs, etc.
Further, I'm assuming that, per usual, an OMF will allow a designer to separate again in the end.
Thanks for any input you can provide.
Best,
Stephen
PS - Thanks, too, to those of you who helped me figure out the specs for an ideal new system. Ended up going with ADK and the system's great.

The way I would do it is to unbundle the elements in the two clusters and then build a new cluster and write to the database once.

  • How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?  I used to do it with iTunes/Advanced/Join Tracks, but iTunes 11 does not have an "Advanced" button.

    How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?

    Thanks for your reply, Jim.  I imported a CD that I had burned previously with the 2 tracks of sound effects that I had downloaded from the internet (MP3 files), but I did not see an option to join the tracks when I imported the CD.  In the upper right corner there were three buttons: Options, CD Info, and Import CD.  When I click on Options, the drop-down menu has two choices: "Get Track Names"  and "Submit CD Track Names".   I cannot find an option to Join Tracks.  Help!

  • Merged clip question

    Hi all,
    I have a XDCam project with separate sound coming from Metacorder system. Is there a way to merge clips, so that duration of a merged clip is determined by the video track?
    Separate audio is always little bit longer than video and causes black filler on both ends of a merged clip. Or is this a concern at all?
    Also is there a way to delete tracks in a clip? XDCam Transfer always imports 4 audio tracks, whether there is audio or not. I end up with merged clips that have up to 9 tracks of audio. I have no problem editing with 4-5 tracks of audio but I want get rid of those first 4 XDCam dummy audio tracks.

    Hello.
    One thing you will need to research is something called "Destination Controls". Just because you have 4 tracks of audio on a source clip, does not mean that every one of those tracks has to be edited to your timeline. Destination Controls are the little tabs on the left side of the timeline that are just to the right of the green track enable buttons. These little things will allow you to change the location of the destination tracks when you perform an edit to the timeline. When editing your XDCAM clips, just disconnect the destination controls for your audio tracks, although you may want to keep at least one track enabled to help sync up your audio.
    A couple of other things you'll need to read up on are the "mark clip" and "Match Frame" functions. I described the use of these 2 functions in a different thread. Click Here. The difference with your case is that you'll need to use the "Slip" tool to keep the duration of the audio clip, but slip it's in and out points to bring it in sync with your video.

  • Merge Clips Question

    Have read the manual and searched the forums but can't work this out.
    Basically I'm syncing double system audio and creating merged clips. As the video is HDV all the shots are already seperate clips. However the audio files are 1 hour long clips (transfered from DAT). Now, using the timeline technique to merge the clips, I cut out only the audio I need for each shot and merge it with the video. However the resulting clips contain ALL 1 hour of the audio (with in and out points around the video, that is most video shots are about 30 sec). This doesn't work for me since I want only the length of the shot on the playback bar of the preview window to be as long as only that shot is, for easy navigation in the shot. Even if I cut and delete the extra audio on the timeline, it still gives me all 1 hour of audio on the merged clip... how can I delete this unwanted audio on each clip? Not sure if I'm explaining this clearly. I have 43 hours and potentially thousands of shots, so individually exporting each and every merged clip as it's own shot is not at all doable from a time and hard drive space perspective. Thanks!

    Ok. I've found an odd work around that you may want to try.
    Make sure linking is on in your timeline. Sync audio to video. Link the audio to the video. Instead of merging, double-click to load the linked clip into the viewer.
    Create a sub-clip (CMD+U). Drag the sub clip into the sequence. The audio and video will be the correct length, but the audio will not be in sync (it'll be offset, don't ask me why). Unlink the subclip (CMD+L). Using snapping, drag the video clip so that it's correctly atop the audio clip. Relink (CMD+L). Drag the new clip into your browser to create the merged clip.
    The merged clip will no longer reference the entire audio media. You can delete the subclip from your browser when you're done.
    It's a weird work around but it works and doesn't require any exporting or re-importing which will make it MUCH faster to get what you want.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • How can you collapse several video tracks into one track?

    Hi, I have a stack of five video tracks that make up an identification placard for a speaker. I need to create motion on this, but don't want to have to do it to every track individually. I believe there is a way to incapsulate all five tracks into one track. Does anyone know the method of doing this?
    Thanks so much, Bob

    Select the tracks and type Option - C, or go to the menu Sequence > Nest Item(s).
    That will nest the tracks in to one clip on your timeline. If you need to make changes in the nest, double click on the nested clip in the timeline and it will re-open the tracks that have been nested.

  • How to join two or more separate tracks into one track

    I have a CD of music that I want to import. It is a study tool so all the tracks are parcelled up for easier examination- i.e. Beethoven's Symphony no. 5 in C Minor is not one long track, it is cut into 28 separate tracks ranging in time from 26 seconds 2:31 (minutes).
    What I want to do is make all 28 tracks into one track so there is continuous play. I've tried the gapless album option. It didn't do the trick. Now I can just select continuous play button, but for things like 'party shuffle' it doesn't quite work - you end up with a 30 second blurb of a song.
    Any suggestions?

    Insert the CD.
    Select the songs you want as one track then menu Advanced -> Join CD tracks, then import the CD.

  • Mixing sound files into one sound file. Urgent

    Hi,
    I want to mix different sound files into one sound file but I don't have any idea of how to do this. Can anybody tell me how or just point me to the right tutorial. I do not want to do this through an applet.
    Thanks all in advance.

    try it this way:
    String oneFile = "mp3" + "wav" + "allOthers";
    you can use System.out.println(oneFile) to see if it works. good luck!

  • With the release of iCloud can we now merge different .mac apple ids into one?

    This question has been asked before and the answer, I believe, was NO -- you can't merge multiple .mac or mobileme accounts into ONE.
    The problem is I have two .mac accounts and I want one (the one that reflects my name, ie) so I can streamline my apple id and account history.
    Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed with the new iCloud Service?
    If not, that's SAD, really really SAD. Being a programmer myself, I can't understand why this should be such a big issue unless they screwed up their data model for 'Account'.

    Why did you setup more then one AppleID?
    Your @me.com account should've been the one and only account you needed. There was absolutely no need to create another AppleID for iCloud. You should've just used the me.com for iCloud.
    Your email account (if different to your @me.com email) is nothing to do with Apple.

  • How could i Integrate (merge) 2 different Controlling areas into one?

    Hello gurus,
    The client i am working for had defined, from the beggining (during SAP Implementation), one Controlling area for the entire company.
    This definition was correctly done, as a way to centralize every operation and transaccion made.
    After some years, this company merge with another one, that had the same implemented controlling model, but asociated to another Controlling area.
    The problem is that we need to integrate both Controlling areas into one, in other words, every operation saved or transaction made linked to the new Controlling area (the one of the second company), must be converted to the code of the original one.
    Is there an std. way to erase the second Controlling area and asociate all its records (saved in every table) to the orignal one, as if they were one from the very beggining?
    Thanks very much!.
    Pablo.-

    Hi Daniela, thanks to you too.
    If you or anybody have some specific documentation about 'SLO -- SAP Organizational Structure Changes -- Controlling area Merge' to send me while i continue looking, i will be pleased.
    Thanks a lot anyway!

    Cannot be done. Just use one account in the future and remove all private information from the other.  Unfortunately any purchases will remain forever (unless Apple changes its mind) separated.

  • Should I merge my multiple iPhoto libraries into one?

    I have used iPhoto to organize my photos since I started using a Mac in 2004. Back then, when iPhoto was at number "5" or perhaps even less, I found it more convenient to divide my library into several libraries, one for each calendar year, since, as I recall, iPhoto didn't yet have nearly as many ways of searching for photos as it does today, with iPhoto 11. Today iPhoto is much more sophisticated, and offers many options for organizing and finding photos, by date, faces, location, events, etc. I am wondering if it no longer makes sense to keep my libraries separate by year, and would it be easier to re-merge them all back into one library in iPhoto 11. It is kind of a pain to have to open and close different libraries each time I am looking for an old photo because I can no longer remember what year the event occurred in. Yet I am also afraid that merging my libraries (one for each year since 2002, when I went digital with my photography) might open the proverbial "can of worms" and create more problems than it solves. I'd love to hear from any who have had similar experience.

    iPhoto does not have yet the option to merge libraries, unlike Aperture. You would have to use the paid utility "iPhoto Library Manager" to do this.
    But iPhoto certainly can cope with larger libraries than before, and it is very useful to have the ability to search all photos at once or to use photos from many years in albums and books. For example, if you want to make a book for an anniversary with pictures from different years, it would be more involved, if you have the photos in different libraries.
