Moving Multiple Audio Transitions

This is a big one for me. I'm trying to apply and modify audio transitions to multiple tracks at the same time. First off it appears that I cannot move more than one transition at a time.  Is this true?
If it is it will slow me down a ton. I'm used to Avid's, where I type in the duration and alignment, the adjust accordingly.  I hate using the mouse for this. Is there a way to do it all with the keyboard?

AFAIK, there is no way to do what you want (which is perfectly reasonable, BTW). At least it's not in the FCPX documentation or something I've been able to discover by using every combination of modifier keys I could think of. One at a time seems to be the current limitation.
If anyone knows something different, hopefully they'll chime in.

  • How to add multiple audio transitions

    I know how to add multiple video transitions to a whole series of clips, but I want to add a cross fade to every audio clip in the sequence....how can I do this if at all, or is it not possible? Thanks

    I'm suspecting that you don't have the destination tabs set correctly when you drag the audio clips to the canvas overlays.
    Destination & Source tabs are the tabs located at the left side of the timeline. When you want to add audio cross fades to your audio clips, do the following:
    1. Set the played at the beginning of the sequence.
    2. Click the video source tab to disconnect it from the video track.
    3. Verify that the audio source tabs are connected to the audio tracks that you want the audio edited to.
    4. Select your audio clips.
    5. Drag the selected audio clips to the Overwrite with Transition overlay in the canvas.

  • Moving multiple audio keyframes within a clip...but not all of them

    I have a highlight video with an underlying music bed where I've dropped the levels when I have someone speaking to the camera.
    I had to shorten the video and need to re-align the keyframes for some of the sections of music back up with the audio of the video clips.
    I've figured out how to shift all the keyframes together in an audio clip, but I can't find anything on shifting only a certain selection of keyframes within a clip. I'm hoping that there is an easier way to do this than moving each keyframe individually.
    'FCP Help' mentions using the Range Selection Tool, but instead of moving keyframes, it cuts out the section of the clip that is selected and moves it.
    I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

  • Moving multiple audio keyframes

    ok.. This is strange... This should be a no brainer.
    I have a range of audio keyframes, due to t a change in the edit, I now need to move a range of keyframes earlier in time.
    now it looks like I can select the range... however, I can't seem to do anything with it.
    I can't.. ahem.. 'EDIT' them....
    any ideas ?
    The attached images show the position after I manually move them one by frakkin one...

  • Trouble with Premiere timeline moving up and down multiple audio tracks.

    I have a project that has multiple audio tracks, aver 40. Only a portion of them are visible even when I use the new side scroll, I don't know the official name but the scroll on the side that Increases or decrease the size of the track so you can see the waveform. Even when I hide the video tracks and the other preview panels I still can't see all my audio tracks. How do I scroll up and down so I can see the tracks that I want to work on. You know, like in every other program I have ever used. 

    I feel like there's a bit of egg on my face. Rereading your message and messing with the horizontal bar I realized for both horizontal and vertical bars I grab in the center and drag left or right, up or down. There's a short cut for scrolling up and down your timeline tracks, hold down ctrl/cmd and then use the scroll wheel on your mouse, and that's what I was doing for my project last night. Ah growing pains of learning a new workspace.

  • 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.

  • Adding multiple audio effects

    Protools allows you to add fades to every edit (excluding those that already have them if you wish) with one click.
    I've never been able to find a way of making FCP do this. You can add multiple video effects or transitions, but not - it seems to me - audio.
    I want to be able to select and entire time-line and put a short x-fade on every cut - instead of doing them all one by one as now.
    Does anyone know how?
    Intel MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I haven't tried it, but it works with video, so I don't know why it wouldn't work with audio:
    Set the transition you want as your default audio transition.
    Unlink the audio from the video clips.
    Place the playhead at the start of your first audio clip.
    Select all your audio.
    Drag the selected audio to the canvas and drop it on the "Overwrite With Transition" button.
    Voila. All your original audio is replaced with the new versions complete with transition.
    I think.

  • 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.

  • Multiple audio files for one flash video

    My company is developing a presentation software program that
    is flashed-based. We are developing a series of videos that will be
    converted to flash video. We will also be recording multiple audio
    tracks for different languages that we want to swap out and sync to
    the video (like the different audio language tracks on a DVD). Does
    anyone know if you can encode the video and audio to seperate
    tracks and then swap out the audio with another and still synch it
    to the video?
    We want to try and avoid encoding video for all the language
    tracks to save space. If we could have one video file and then
    multiple audio files that can be synched with the video file,
    rather than having to encode video and audio for each language,
    this would save a lot of room. Can anyone think of a way we could
    accomplish this using flash and flash video?

    nope, Keynote doesn't have "triggers" though I figure this has to be on Apple's radar as it's been brought up every time a new version comes out.
    I suppose one work around would be to make a slide for each sound, and have the sound play when you go to that slide. Then make your table a series of buttons that go to each "sound slide" (you can make link buttons, just not triggers). It would give you the effect of clicking to play the sound, it's just that instead, Keynote would be jumping to a slide and playing a sound. All the slides would LOOK the same, and you wouldn't use transitions between them. The effect would get you what you want, it just takes longer to build.

  • Multiple Audio files on one slide

    Hello,
    I want to have multiple audio files in a table on a single slide.
    Also, these audio files should play when I click on that particular file (which will be placed in a cell in the table)
    How do I do this?
    I see an option with "Play sound on click" but it plays when I click anywhere.
    This doesn't give me the ability to place multiple files and thus be able to play them as needed.
    Thanks.

  • How to edit a multiple audio video clip on Premiere

    Hello everybody
    Maybe this is a dumb question, I'm sorry if I'm asking what is obvious for you, but I swear I tried to find on the web and on this forum, but I couldn't find anything.
    Well, I made a video using a screen capture software called Dxtory, that provides me the ability to record my PC screen, with multiple audio tracks.
    Ok, now I have a 15gb avi file. When I open this file in the Media Player Classic, I can play one or both channels. The first channel is the original audio captured from my PC. Every audio generated by my PC is in this track. The second track is my voice, with my commentaries. I have all of this in one single file. They are not splited. It's just one file.
    Then when I import into Premiere, the software just recognize the video track and the first audio track. I can't find the second, with my voice.
    I know I can split the clip into 3 files (1 video and 2 audios) but it would take longer. I just want to drop the file on Premiere and edit the audio volumes quickly, because when I talk I would like to low the volume of the PC audio.
    Now, the question: Is there a way to Premiere recognize both tracks in this single file? How?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I'm actually surprised that Pr can import this at all--the video is Xvid. Maybe it's some variant that Pr's importers can handle, as Jeff suggested. I dunno--it doesn't play well for me, regardless, and I'm not going to install the Dxtory codec to find out.
    Anyway, to the matter at hand: while AVIs can, apparently, contain multiple audio tracks, Pr's importers are limited to a single track. However, Pr has other importers than can handle multiple audio tracks. QuickTime--which is a wholly different process--supports multiple audio tracks, as does MXF (some flavors). However, Xvid in QuickTime (which is feasible) won't import in Pr (at least on a PC), and Xvid won't go into an MXF file at all; that means you'd have to transcode. Personally, this would be my choice--but I found that the original clip played back pretty terribly, so that would be why I'd go that route.
    Additionally, you could extract the second audio track to a separate WAV file, import both the AVI and WAV, and then use the Merge Clips feature to marry them together as one pseudo-clip. Not perfect, but it would work. The benefit is that you don't re-encode anything.
    So, I've got solutions for both the re-encode/MXF option (my preference) and the AVI/WAV option. Here's proof of the MXF (transcoded video to XDCAMHD422 50Mbps) with four audio channels (stereo must be split to dual mono):
    At the end of the day, these (or a variation of them) are your only options. Pr simply won't import multiple audio tracks (even dual mono) in an AVI container. Let me know if you're interested in either of the solutions.

  • How do I import multiple audio tracks?

    Hi there...
    I have a number of video files that have multiple audio tracks in them. The problem is I can not work out how to get prem to see multiple audio tracks. The files import fine and I have also tried various other formates with multi-track audio.. but only audio "stream 1" is visible in prem.
    What I was hoping is that the video would come in with a 2 audio tracks instead of 1 each in its own "lane".. so I can then use the mixer and the audio files are  linked to the video file and in perfect sync.. (just like when you import with 1 track)
    NOTE: I am not talking about channels.. but complete 2 completely different audio tracks.. and I know that I could extract these audio streams into wavs and then re-sync them but this seams overkill and a duplication of effort... surly there is a way to have prem support more than 1 audio track on a video file?
    --Me

    Well, if PP doesn't bring them in, then best guess is they just don't exist.
    There's really no trick or user adjustment for this that I'm aware of.  You import the file, PP sees what's in it.  I've never observed or read about any other behavior than that.

  • Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?

    Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?

    Hi there
    I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can i add an audio transition?

    Adding an audio transition, basic for an editor, is impossible with fcpx??
    Or video, or video and audio or nothing???
    I've an interview and i need a 2 frames audio transition to eliminate the distorsion on the cut, the famous "click"...the only way is to do a split cut and to move the audio handles?...i think it's crazy, when on FCP7 was only a right click!!!!
    thanks to all!!!

    No play around the cut to review the trim, and no possibility to trim going in play!
    Match Frame (if it is what you think it is -- try it and let me know) is now called "Reveal in Event Browser" and is available in the "Clip Menu."
    I think the shortcut for play-around the edit point is now shift-? (question mark). There are preferences to control the length but they are broken -- it's a known bug.
    yeah, the precision editor while pretty seems a bit lacking in practical usage at this point.
