Missing audio when sending to Soundtrack Pro

I have a sequence that I'm sending to Soundtrack Pro. It sends and opens but I notice that there is audio missing from sections where I have .motn elements in my timeline. The audio is there in FCP...
Is there a solution to this?

Turns out the audio needed to be linked to the .motn sequence.

  • Operation Not Allowed When Sending to Soundtrack Pro

    Hi
    I have a problem with FCP. I have a clip named
    main service.dv
    When i try to Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio Project, in the Save dialog, i tick Send only referenced media, and latest metadata... but when i hit Save, an "Operation not allowed" dialog appears. The file is saved, and I can open it in Soundtrack Pro, but its not associated back with FCP.
    Thanks.

    The footage was already captured before coming to me. I have nearly completed my project, now just needed STP to get rid of an electrical buzz on a clip.
    It's still a bad workflow by definition, "operation not allowed" means you canto proceed without some kind of workaround. You do not need STP to remove a simple 60Hz. But you will need advanced audio processing tools to augment the 60Hz removal if the rest fo the track has lots of content in that freq.

  • Missing audio when sending from FCP

    When I send my project to Soundtrack Pro from FCP, Soundtrack opens and loads everything up, but oddly some audio clips show no waveform, and contain no sound, but the sound is clearly present and working in FCP.
    What could be causing this?

    mrjam, I am having the same exact problem. I have a sequence in FCP and am using the "send to "Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project" command. I have tried this almost 30 times now and only twice has it worked properly, i have no clue what was different these two time and tried to repeat the process the exact same way to no avail. What a pain. I have no clue why this function doesn't work. I have a mono pair in FCP and when i "Send to.." there are no waveforms in STP at all, and of course, no audio. Funny thing is it did work twice! Sounds like a major bug! Have you had any luck?

  • Sync problems when sending to soundtrack pro

    I am currently having a problem with a mono track audio/video clip sliding out of sync when I send it to soundtrack pro as referenced file only with 10 sec handles. When I send the entire clip the sync problem doesn't occur.
    I have used soundtrack pro before and never encountered this problem.
    I'm on FCP 6.0.3.
    Thanks.

  • Corrupted audio when exporting in Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2

    Hello, I am a sound designer and have been evaluating Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 as an alternative to Pro Tools (I work with video editors who use FCP). The program has been working well until I have tried to export my work.
    I have created a project containing audio of the same sample rate as both the project and the computer's hardware - 48kHz (eliminating a problem already highlighted by others) and using no DSP. Although realtime playback is fine, the exported audio contains blocks silence as well as wrongly mixed levels.
    I have noticed firstly that the problem changes depending on where the loop markers are set. The problem is sometimes eliminated if there is a reasonable amount of silence at the beginning and end of the region being exported. Secondly, I notice that fades are not being exported correctly - either being exported as silence or as full level (as if there is no fade applied).
    I have also tried using Soundtrack Pro version 1, and this exports fine. It's worth noting, however, that this version of the software does not allow the user to apply fades to the audio (without opening and editing the waveform itself).
    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I know the problem you mean - the plugin settings are lost when exporting. I think this is a separate issue that has been fixed. An example of the problem would be when adding a fade to a sound, and then exporting. The fade portion of the sound would export as silence, but the rest of the sound would export fine. Very bizarre, and if no-one else is experiencing it, possibly it is to do with my machine. Unfortunately it makes the software unusable for me. My colleague, who is running the same setup as me, has exactly the same problem.
    The main thing I like about Soundtrack is the ability to add effects non-destructively to each sound, and then go back and edit each effect later on. Also, the video display is good- showing you the video at the beginning and end of a sound when moving it, plus also where your mouse pointer is clicked. It has the potential to be a very good program.
    Pro Tools HD is very good but very expensive. I know some people who don't like it, so I think its down to personal preference. It is used in every professional studio I have worked in, making it good for compatibility. You also won't find nasty bugs like the one i've described in Soundtrack - they've been developing the software for a long time. Personally, I find Pro Tools very quick to work with and very stable. Also, I would recommend Pro Tools LE if you're not going to be restricted by 48 tracks and lack of surround mixing.

  • Missing Audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro in Final Cut Studio 2

    I've been trying to edit a sequence from Final Cut Pro 6 in Soundtrack 2 by sending the sequence to soundtrack as a multitrack project. For some reason, when I send it, multiple audio files from the original sequence are completely missing, and I have no clue why. They're .mov files from the original import of footage.
    Anyone know why these don't transfer and how to fix it?

    Hi
    I too have had trouble with Audio from FCP 6 messing up in STP 2. My opinion is that the process works if the audio tracks in FCP are either Mono sourced or stereo sourced and are never relinked, split to mono (in the case of stereo files) in FCP during editing. God forbid you unpair a stereo track and delete one channel!
    Once in STP I have had occasions where non audio appears, the wrong track appears... or sometimes the wrong audio!
    Once in a while double clicking on the offending clip in STP to open it in a Wave window seems to show the right audio. Either saving it of closing the window ( command/w) restores the right material to the clip in STP.
    You could right click on the audio in FCP and "send to STP Audio Project". Hopefully the correct audio is opened in STP. Then save it. Now re-export the Multitrack project and see if the audio makes the trip.
    Or, you could export the Audio directly from FCP, then import it into STP and position it against the video manually.
    One warning : once things start going pear shaped in the FCP-STP workflow, it's my experience that I'm fighting problems all the way. It's why I don't use STP for FCP mixing .... I want to, but its too risky.
    I hope V3 is better.

  • No Video when using the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" Command

    Hello FCP Users,
    After reading and rereading the FCP and STP manuals and scouring the boards; I still can not figure out how to view my video clip while I'm editing/sweetening audio in STP. I have even used the DVD tutorial in an attempt to figure it out (all works fine and good with the tutorial example), but I'm stuck here the real world.
    I'm thinking their must be some preference setting somewhere in STP that I've missed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Best regards,
    Jeff
    From the Manual:
    Soundtrack Pro creates a new audio file project (with the file type .stap) for the clip. The clip can contain video and audio or contain only audio.
    In the Final Cut Pro Timeline, Control-click the clip, then choose “Send To >
    Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project” from the shortcut menu."

    Rob,
    The audio consists of two separate audio tracks A1 is from a lav mic and A2 is from an on-camera mic.
    It was captured DV.
    If I rt click the video clip in the "video tl" the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" in the dialog box is grayed out/not available for selection, but the Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program is available to select.
    If I choose to Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program I get the following an error message: Error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro.
    I've tried de-selecting the "linked selection" in the tl and rt click the audio clip in the "audio tl" and that allows me to "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" , but no video in the utility window of STP.
    If I select the "linked selection" in the tl and rt click the audio clip in the "audio tl" the "Send To Soundtrack Pro Audio File" in the dialog box is grayed out/not available for selection, but the Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program is available to select.
    If I choose to Send To Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Program I get the following an error message: Error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro.
    It looked all so simple in the tutorial. I'm going on five hours of trying to find an answer to this issue any other suggestions before I slit my wrists? Thanks for your input.

  • Cannot use the Send to Soundtrack Pro Audio File Command

    I cannot use the Send to Soundtrack Pro Audio File Command, only the Multitrack and it's starting to really get on my nerves. It is unhiglighted. If I unlink the clip and select only half of the audio, the option re-appears. I have no idea what is wrong.

    As an audio file, you can only send one clip at a time. This is a feature, not a bug. See the book for more information.

  • Can't export audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro

    I'm running FCP 5.0.2 and have Soundtrack Pro 1.0. I'm trying to export audio tracks from a long FCP project I'm working on to ST Pro to clean them up. As shown in Apple's online demo videos, I want to export an audio track and then remove 'pops' and do noise reduction, etc. In FCP I right click the audio track I want and go down to 'Send To' but the option for "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" is grayed out and I can't click it.
    If I unlink the tracks and then right click the audio track and 'Send To', the "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" isn't grayed out and looks like it would work. But that is only highlighting one audio track, not the other stereo track and not the video track. In the demo video all three were highlighted but when I relink all tracks and try to 'Send To' I get the grayed out "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" again.
    Is there something I need to do or a step I'm missing.

    You might be onto something Randy. I noticed in the Timeline if I tried to send an imported .AIF music clip to 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project' it would allow it and the option wasn't grayed out. So I looked in my Browser window and checked out the file attributes to every clip which are listed to the right of the names. Sure enough, under the AUDIO column the .AIF music files are listed as '1 Stereo' and the rest of my captured video clips are listed in the AUDIO column as '2 Mono'.
    So was there a setting for me to choose during Log and Capture that would have made them '1 Stereo' as opposed to '2 Mono'? Or is this a preference setting somewhere to change that for next time? They were recorded on my camera in stereo I'm pretty sure.
    Now in terms of the massive project I've already captured and edited, should I be able to export these mono tracks individualy and fix them as needed? When I click the 'Send to' 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project File' for these single mono tracks it asks me to 'Save' the file somewhere, is there a proper place to do this or just anywhere on the HD?
    Thanks

  • Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project - All I get are empty tracks

    I have a sequence in Final Cut Pro that has a collection of clips and sequences inside of it. When I right click the sequence in the browser and select Send To -> Soundtrack Pro Multitrack project, it opens STP as it should. When STP opens, though, I have a correct video track, but all of the audio tracks are completely empty.
    Am I doing something wrong here?

    select the sequence in the browser and then send to STP
    make sure the in & out are set correctly on the timeline

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • From FCP timeline...send to soundtrack pro audio file project is greyed out

    The send to multi track is not greyed out but that's not what I need.
    The stereo audio file is 48KHz and I have 7 tracks of audio in the sequence all of which are stereo except the VO track.
    If I use "open in editor" to open a stereo file from the timeline soundtrack only imports one channel.
    I'm trying to run these stero audio clips through STP using the waveform editor to quickly analyze and fix the "clicks and pops" also adding a low cut off filter to some of the clips to help eliminate some wind noise.
    Seems the only way I can get it to work is to export each clip as an aiff file and then import it to STP, edit non destructively, save as a .stap file and then reimport that .stap file back into FCP........
    Any ideas why the "send to STP audio file project" is greyed out? perhaps I have forgotten a preference setting somewhere?
    All help appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hey, Dave. That can happen if you captured your files with two audio tracks instead of a single stereo track. The two channels will show up on two tracks, but they're not actually stereo in the quicktime file.
    When you captured, did you click the "OO" button next to the audio channels to link them to stereo? You can look at the contents of the quicktime file with Quicktime Player and see if you've got one audio track with two channels assigned to "left" and "right". If you have some other configuration in the file, check out these old threads for workarounds, or recapture if that's an option.

  • Missing Audio when Converting from MPEG1 Muxed to Ipod using QT Pro 7

    I just got my video iPod over Christmas. After reading up on QT Pro 7, I purchased it over the weekend, and have attempted unsuccessfully the past two nights to convert home videos (taken with my Sony digital camera) to iPod format. My home movies play fine when I open them in Quicktime; however, when I export to the iPod format (and also when I export to mpeg4 format), I only get the video and not the audio.
    I've confirmed that my key for QT Pro 7 is successfully loaded, so that's not the issue.
    I've also confirmed that the format of the original video taken from my camera is "MPEG1 Muxed". Several internet discussion boards seem to indicate that missing audio is a common problem for people using Sony cameras and Quicktime. If this is the case, I'd prefer to simply refund my money and buy one of the other video to iPod converters available on the web.
    So, either help me solve this problem, or help me get a refund. I'm fine either way.

  • Audio gets lost when sending to Premiere Pro

    Hey fellow Prelude users.
    I encountered a nasty problem. I ingested some AVCHD Clips in Prelude and edited them and made many, many clips out of the footage. Then I sent it to Premiere for further edit. Unfortunatly at some Clips the audio is now missing, even if there's audio in Prelude. I tried to export just the audio from Prelude to match it with my roughcut but also the export has no audio at the points where the clips with missing audio are.
    When importing the Clips without the new metadata by Prelude the audio is just fine. This seems to be a pretty weird issue.
    Hope you can help.
    Thank you,
    Alex

    I have run into the same problem with AVCHD footage. Initially, I thought that the problem might involve the transfer feature in Prelude CC's Ingest function. I had used that when ingesting the problem media, to move source clips to a couple of different folders on my edit station.
    I subsequently realized that probably wasn't the case, since I had logged the clips in Prelude after they were ingested. So, they had sound when I ingested them, but not later, when I imported them into Premiere Pro CC.
    The audio loss was complete on one clip--no sound at all on the clip or subclips when I opened the clip in Premiere. The audio loss was partial in the other clip--the audio level flatlined about three-quarters of the way through the clip. Each clip was about twenty minutes long--an interview with a subject for a documentary I'm shooting. I set subclips for each response that I planned to use in my cut of the film.
    I keep my source cards as backup, so I was able to go back and re-ingest, this time without using the transfer feature. Instead, I copied the source card to my edit station, using Windows Explorer. Then I used Prelude ti ingest and log the copied media. That appears to have imported into Premiere without problem.
