Mixing audio from different clips: levels dropping automatically?

Hi,
I have a few clips containing audio. Then add 1 song to the timeline too, and I want to hear audio from both the song and the clips.
When I mute the audio of the clips, I hear the song at a certain volume. See video+song here: music only - YouTube
But when I also enable the clips audio, the volume of the song gets a lot lower automatically. See video + song + clip audio here: music mixed - YouTube
I realise that adding the audio on top of each other will result in peaks that are too high, but I don't really care if these peaks get clipped. Most parts of the clip audio have a fairly low volume, but even on those parts the volume of the song stays very very low.
When I decrease the audio levels of the song and the clips to keep the master levels from going into the red zones, the same thing happens. Only the overall audio mix has a lower volume (but still the song volume goes down when played together with the clip audio).
Is there any reason for this to happen? Does this depend on some settings, can it be my audio hardware that causes this?
Thanks for any help.
ps: I come from editing in vegas, and never experienced the same problem there

I have my waveforms back! Thank you SO MUCH! I looked everywhere and just couldn't find a setting for this.
As for the sync, I guess that's OK - it's no worse than what I had before (and with the waveforms back, less of an issue to do manually). Would be nice if they'd add the ability to offset the audio track in the Modify Clip screen at some point (and it would open up the multi-cam sync feature to more users), but I can cope without for now.
Thanks again for your help.

How can i leave audio from one clip playing, while showing another one in i

i am editing a movie, using iMovie 08, and want to use sound for a clip in the video for the end credits. how can i do this?
just to be clear, i am not trying to add audio. i am trying to leave the audio from ONE CLIP playing, while viewing a new frame. thanks.

This is simple in iMovie 11 (drag and drop), but in iMovie 08, you can still do it.

How do I use just the audio from a clip in imovie? No picture, no video, just audio!

I want to put the audio from a clip at the end of the video. No video, just black screen

It will require a bit of a workaround. But it can be done. If you enable Advanced Tools under the iMovie Preferences (Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences). Enable Advanced Tools by clicking the checkbox.
Now create a title with a black background by dragging at title to the end of the video on the Project timeline. Once the title is there, delete all the text on the title. Now drag that black background directly dead center onto the video clip just before the end where you want to 'blot out' the video and just have audio. When you release the mouse, you will be shown a pop-up menu with a bunch of different options including one titled cut-away. Choose this option. What will happen is the video will cut to the black video background you dragged on top of the video clip. You can set the duration by dragging the left and right edges out further to make it run longer. This black back ground effectively cover the video and will continue to play the audio of the underlying video clip.

Extracting audio from many clips at a time

I have to extract some audio from many many video clips, so I was attempting to do it in one step, but Logic extract only from one clip at a time
So I'm thinking to use Audio Converter (it can extract audio from many clips in one step), but it ask me the AIFF encoding Bitrate (among 64 and 192 kbps). So I'm wondering... but Logic which AIFF bitrate manages???
Tnks

yes, it is possible. Infact, it is the normal practice to add those 10 roles to that single user in SU01 direclty.
and as I said, user comparison should be scheduled normally in SAP system landscape to do the things automatically, however not immediately but after some time.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/52/6714a9439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
If you want user comparison immediately, then you need to do it manually in the role.

Audio from video clips

I tried combining video clips into one movie through imovie, the video was there but not the audio from the clips. What can I do to fix this?

The conversions played sound in QT, but no sound in the editor... What can I do so I don't lose the audio?
Open the Event file(s) with the QT Player and check the "Inspector" window to make sure the file, as imported to iMovie '08, still has its audio track in tact. If it does and the missing audio is limited to scrubbing Event files, check the audio switch under the preview window to see if it is off. If no audio is present in normal playback/preview mode, then thumbnails could be bad and you might try re-thumbnailing the events. If the problem is on the project side, try duplicating the project and see if the duplicate has sound. If you still don't have audio, try trimming the duplicate project to a very short sequence and exporting it to see if the output has audio. This assumes you have audio everywhere else and it is not a system wide problem like muting, system sample rate switched to a different setting, system volume turned down, etc...

Suggestions for blending audio from one clip to next?

I'm learning editing and PP and am practicing by editing different clips from a movie to make my own trailer. The problem I'm having is that going from one clip to another has obvious and abrupt changes. I could add audio transitions to each clip, though for a 2.5 minute trailer I'm not sure if fading audio up and down constantly is the best choice? What is the best way to blend the audio from one clip to the next?
Thanks.

You can create a crossfade (essentially an
audio dissolve) from one audio clip to another.
With the audio track(s) targeted, park the Playhead at the
audio cut and hit Ctrl+Shift+D (or drag from the effect panel):
You need to be sure you have sufficient 'handles'
on both clips to accommodate the crossfade.

Detaching audio from video clips

Hi
After trying the standard 'detach audio' button I cant seem to find a way to completley detach audio from a clip in order to hear the track I have added to the clip. All I can seem to do is turn the volume right down, and inturn still able to hear it, which is proving annoying!
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks

Thanks for your reply Geoff,
I basically have a soundtrack 3.28 minutes long which I want to be the only noise thats playing throughout my interchanging video clips, so I would like to completley move the audio from the all of the indivdual video clips that I am adding in, I thought the 'detatch audio' button would be the one for this, but as I continuously play back bits of the movie to prefect editing I can still slightly hear the sound from the individual videos that I am adding?
So frustrating, but Im sure thats its something real basic that I am missing.....

Extracting audio from video clip to use as narration?

Hi there,
I have a video clip in which I want to take the audio of actor speaking and put it onto another video.

How do I do this in premiere elements 10?

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the quick response. I guess my question now is how would I do those two things?
In terms of exporting the audio, where can I find that option when I'm on timeline?
What do you mean by "Alt-click" and what is a "muxed file"?
Thanks again,
Mallory

Welcome to the forum. There are several ways to accomplish this, and your choice might well rest on how you like to work, and what you are doing, such as Deleteing Video. First, you could Export/Share just the Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, from your Timeline, and Import that into a New Project, where the Audio WAV file would be used. OTOH, you could Atl-click on the Video portion of the muxed file, and Delete the Video, leaving only the Audio portion. Good luck, Hunt

How do I put the audio from one clip over the video of another clip?

So I have two videos, and I want to replace the audio of the first with the audio of the second. Sorry, I'm new to 08 and have been trying to suss this out for ages so I'd really appreciate any advice you guys can give.

This thread seems to be on the same subject and is very helpful.

The Working with Audio clip also included the solution for extracting the audio from a clip at the very end of the video. Having to know the secret handshake of shift-command and dragging is really not intuitive, but such is progress....

Ghost Audio from Other Clips

Hi All,
I'm having an issue when adding new selections to the project.
1) I add one selection from a clip and the audio is fine;
2) I add another selection from somewhere later in the same clip and I can hear ghost audio from the previous selection;
3) If the second selection in the project is shorter than the first, the ghost audio seems "wrapped" - that is the ghost audio plays from two different points in the previous selection at the same time.
The original clip is a .mov using the Apple Intermediate Codec and AAC audio.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks!
- Charles

Hello All,
I'm updating this in case anyone else has the same issue.
It turns out the AAC encoding was causing the issue. I used QuickTime Pro to save the file with a different audio encoding and all is well, now.
Thanks!

Extracting audio from premier project is not automatically opening in audition .How to reset this

I was using the feature of extracting audio from a time line in Premier for working on noise reduction and so on .It used to open automatically on choosing
" EDIT CLIP IN AUDITION" and on "saving" it was ready in Premier for further action. Now this is not happening. What happened and how do I reset this feature please?

Not a reply but some more input. The culprit is not Safari but iChat, which I discovered just now, having run the app and quit after the person I was inviting wasn't available. I'm grateful for anyone who shed some light on this for me.
All the best,
David
