Multiclip--select all audio channels

Hi,
I am making a three camera multiclip. I would like to select between three video angles but keep all 3 audio channels playing simultanously.
The manual is not very clear about keeping all the audio tracks playing while switching between video angles. I have tried most of the choices but I usually get either a single audio track (angle 1 audio) only or the audio angle switches with the video angle.
Is it possible to play all three audio tracks while switching the video angle in a multiclip?
Thank you,
Brock Fisher

I have found the problem, damn it, i should have tried it earlier xD..
maybe this will help some people having the same problem because:
They have removed alsa from the DAEMONS array (is needed to store sound levels) because they thought with pulseaudio it is not needed!

Premiere 7.2.2 not importing all audio channels of mpeg-ts

I'm trying to work on an MPEG-TS, but Premiere is only importing the audio related to the first PID. There are 6 PIDs in this file, each with two channels of audio, for 12 channels total. But Premiere only sees the first two. If I open the file up in Telestream Switch I see all 12 channels. MediaInfo output is below, any thoughts? Is this a bug in Premiere? An import setting I've missed?

Not certain about HDV but using DV it used to work something like this ...
- Log the clip then do your capture of the video and Ch 1+2
- In the Log and Capture window select the Clip Settings Tab
Set Capture to AUDIO ONLY and the AUDIO FORMAT to Ch 3 + Ch 4
- Right clic on the clip in the Browser and Select 'Batch Capture'.
- in the Batch Capture dialog box, uncheck 'Use Logged Clip Settings'
click ok and away you go.
in the fwiw catagory, on some cameras, in order to hold 4 channels of audio it will be recorded in 32k/12bit format. It will not be happy in FCP. You may want to up rez it to 48k/16bit in Quicktime before using it. But you probably knew that.
good luck.

Using ExcelExport without opening the dialog box to select all the channels in portal by default

Hi,
I need to export all the data in the Data portal to an Excel file without opening the Dialog for channels selection. In the ExcelExport command, it asks for a Config (*.stp) file as one of the parameters. Is there need to create a new stp file for selecting all channels or can the same file (Example_ASC.stp ) be reused ? If so, do I need to change any content in the system stp file ?
Thanks

I guess this message suits this forum better ...
We are working in CRM 7, because we have alot of combinations sales grp - dc linked to several sales offices, based on note 691015, in the sales group function tab, I entered the sales grps as follows :

Selecting audio channels during capturing

I am in the process of capturing a interview style documentary that was shot with a Panasonic AG-DVX100B. The interviews that were shot on location used a handheld wireless microphone connected to line 1. Normally, I would set the capture setup to only capture line 1 of the audio so that the built-in camera mic on line 2 would not be captured and create an echo. I would then capture the entire day's shoot into one clip. The shoot is about 45 minutes in total.
During this particular day's shoot we shot some footage in the car using only the built-in camera mic. The camera was still set to use the wireless receiver on line 1, so only line 2 has audio (from the camera mic). So as you can figure, when I captured my normal way with only line 1, there was no audio for the car scenes.
The audio from the car scene was recorded fine on line 2 so now I need to come up with a different process for capturing this show... and maybe reconsider the way way I capture all together. I have not started editing so it's okay to recapture at this point.
My question is:
1. Should I capture each of the three locations seperatly with different audio settings and do a batch capture? ie; Location 1 (line 1 for handheld mic) Car (line 2 for camera mic) and Location 2 (line 1 for handheld mic).
2. Do I capture both line 1 and 2 into one 45 minute clip and select the audio channel that I want from within FCP?
3. If answer 2 is the recommendation, how do I do that without having to deselect an audio channel in each edit in the timeline.
Thanks in advance for the assistance!

go for option 2,
you can de-select the errant audio track from the source side when you create your sequence so you don't have to do it to all edits. thats one of the joys of editing!
you may find you have some good sound on the other mike though don't just throw it away
best regards

VCD selecting audio channel

Hi,
I have some vcd's with two different audio channels. Left for cantonese and right for mandarin. I would like to watch those vcd's with quicktime 7, but I can't find out how to select the audio channel. Does someone have an idea? I have also VLC, but it's not really working well with vcd's =(
Best Regards,
Fung

A VCD is just a MPEG-1 file with a different name.
Mount the VCD and open it using the Finder. Drag the blah.DAT file to your Desktop (it will copy) and change .DAT to .mpg
Editing audio in the QuickTime Player is a "Pro" feature but the free Player can give you some control over audio playback.
With the file open in the QT Player hit Command-K and the A/V Controls window will open. Set the balance slider to the right or left to hear the different tracks.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can extract the audio (not much help for these mixed tracks) but maybe you could use third party software to delete one of the channels.

Merged clips and modified audio channels bug/issue

My problem is that if I create a merged clip and modify it's audio channels Premiere (both CC and CC2014) does not respect the modification under specific circumstances. These circumstances are: if I use keyboard shortcuts or the source window buttons for overwrite/insert to cut the merged clip into a timeline. However, if I drag & drop the clip from the source window or from a bin into the timeline Premiere will respect the audio channels set through modify audio channels.
Here are steps needed to create my problem. You will need a video clip and an audio clip with at least two channels to reproduce this.
1. Create a merged clip from the video and audio. Does not matter if you have "Remove audio from AV clip" enabled or not.
2. Right click on the merged clip in the bin and select Modify -> Audio Channels.
3. Set the merged clip's audio channels to Number of Audio Tracks: 1, Channel Format: Mono. Set the source channel for Audio 1 to anything except Channel 1. Click OK.
4. Make sure you have the merged clip open in the source monitor. Use keyboard shortcuts (. or ,) or the insert/overwrite buttons in the source monitor to cut the clip into a sequence.
5. The merged clip in the sequence will use channel 1 for audio, even though it has been set to use another channel.
6. Now try drag & dropping the merged clip from either the source monitor or from a bin into the sequence. It will now use the audio channel that has been set through modify audio channels.
My workaround is to use drag & drop for now for affected clips, but in the long run this is a pain in the backside.
My question is if this is something that affects other users as well. And while I'm waiting for a fix, if anyone has any suggestions on how to get modified audio channels to work properly, I will gladly listen.
I have filed a bug report for this. I have reproduced this on multiple Windows 7 machines with Premiere Pro CC and on two Macs with both CC and CC 2014.
EDIT to add: I have been in discussion with Rameez from Adobe about this through the support chat and have been told that this is working as intended. He suggested I post a thread about it to see how other editors feel about the functionality. I personally feel that the way it works now makes no sense at all. If others feel the same way, maybe this issue can be fixed in a future update. So please make your voice heard.
EDIT to add: In most usage this might not be an issue at all. But if for example you have external audio on multiple channels and to make sure you have a clean timeline, you wish to remove extra tracks from your merged clips and those extra tracks happen to be any track before the last one(s), you will find that editing the merged clip in in any other way than drag & dropping it in the sequence will result in you losing those last tracks instead of any tracks in the middle that you have disable through modify audio channels. I would think that the audio channel modifications should work no matter what way you cut the merged clip in.

Going to try, but here is my workflow and have not encountered any problems until this last P/U days footage. I've been doing things this way because I found having all files in the project was causing it to crash constantly when I was working. I have a new I7' processor IMac with 24 gigs of RAM. And since Premiere does not allow you to have multiple projects open at the same time (Wish this would change. Avid and FCP both allowed multiple projects) I have to do things this way.
Pre-workflow Project File
Label all Video and Audio files to match Scene #'/Takes
Set in points on all video and audio to reflect slate
Merge Clips
Working Project File
Import only Merged Clips into Project. Either via import or copy/paste
Now I've done this workflow from just about the very beginning. Deleting all of the original source video and all audio clips from my working project so only my bins containing my merged clips remain. Have had no problems and edit has been smooth. Did a pickup day last week, followed same steps as I've done in the past, imported the merged clips into my working project and the clips have the audio set to none by default. Now once I go into the sequence I can manually set it and it's there but I cannot play audio in the source monitor which is how I edit, there's no reason I should have to go back to the crappy FCP way of editing doing the copy and paste from a sequence.

I set all audio gain too low - any way to up it for an entire project quickly?

I have been working on a project and have been setting the audio gain levels a little too low during edit. It's a lengthy project and I wondered if there was an easy way to en mass up all the gain levels at once.
The Matser mixer slider is already high - so I wondered if it was advisable to maybe select ALL audio at once and use the normal Audio Gain right click menu to say up ALL at once?
Is there a better way to do this - will this work?
Thanks in advance.

Lots of ways,
Add a volume effect to the master fader in the track mixer.
The one I would use would be a dynamics effect, added, once again in the effects section of the master fader. Use the gain make-up control in the compressor to make it louder and set the limiter control to -2db to catch any peaks.

Reenable all un-checked audio channels

I am starting to work with an audio engineer on my film.
The edit contains mostly compound clips, each consisting of a video track synced with a bunch of audio. Most clips have a camera audio track, boom, and some lavs - each in it's own mono or stereo channel of a larger compound clip.
As I've been editing, I have been turning some channels off. Sometimes the camera audio is terrible or a lav has lots of clothing noise.
But as I hand off the locked edit to the audio engineer, I want to give her ALL of the audio, even if it was unchecked.
Other than selecting each individual clip, does anyone know hoe to re-enable ALL of the UNchecked channels in my compound clips?
If I select multiple clips, the options for the channels are greyed out in the audio settings. If I show all audio components, the Unchecked ones do not show in the timeline.
If the only way is to select each clip, does anyone know a keyboard shortcut for selecting clips in the timeline?

Error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was

I recently purchased/upgraded from Premiere Elements 5 to Premiere Elements 9 and I cannot open the projects in version 9 that were created with version 5. It shows it as offline. I get a message to open up a file and when I do i receive the error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 2 audio channels. Can someone help me or tell what I am doing wrong? All of my projects that were completed in version 5 cannot be opened up in version 9.
Thank you.

Bill,
I ran G-Spot on one of the files and here it what I have:
DVD "VOB" format
MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
I guess I am really confused. The project that I am trying to open PrE 9 was completed in PrE 3 w/templates , scenes, etc. The movie was burned to a DVD. I cannot understand why I cannot open it with a newer version of PrE. According to G-Spot (I am assuming this is what you mean above), it is already in 2 channels. To me this should be ok. I put many, many hours into these videos and now it seems all for not.
Here is what I did so far:
I uploaded the required media files to a new project in PrE9 and let them index and conform. I saved the project with the same name in a different location. Do I have to do this to the project files and/or the original media files? Confusion starts here.
The next step is where I am confused. I do not know if I am proceeding in the right direction from here. There is the share tab in the upper right hand corner. Is this what you are talking about? I am truly lost from here.
Thanks.

... Separate/select audio channels ...

Is it possible to select audio channel for monitoring ?
I have some footage with interview and the journalist need to listen only channel 1 (microphone) and mute the channel 2 (camera built in microphone).
As the same in XDCAM Transfer.
Thanks

Final Cut Server (and XDCAM Transfer) aren't set up to adjust what has been recorded (there's not even a volume control).
Just open the computer's Sound system preference pane and pan the output all the way to the left.
Of course if you are going through a mixer you can just mute channel 1, or if you're wearing earphones take the one out of your right ear...

How can I use ALL audio tracks in multiclip editing?

I want to be able to use all audio tracks after the multiclip cut.
It's only a two camera shoot, but I want to be able to use the ambient room sound from the second camera ... and control its level (in relation to the master audio track on the first camera) AFTER the cuts are made.
Is this possible in multiclip editing? And how does one go about it?
Apologies. I've spent an hour or so in the manual, and it isn't clear ... or I'm just not finding the right reference.
All ears,
Ben

Sorry if I'm steering you down a path you don't want to go or even if there's a better way but I wouldn't be ding complex audio mixing anywhere near the multiclip interface. Export your reference movie or nest the multiclip project into another sequence, bring in your additional tracks, get to work. Just my preferences, I put a bunch of rough keyframes in the audio tracks and enter some markers (and make a lot of paper notes). Then I go back using the large mixer window to do the fine tweaking.
Stick around for a couple of days, some other multiclip users with more experience than I will offer some more useful suggestions.

How do I select just one audio channel in Final Cut Pro X?

I know this has been asked and answered somewehre... and I'm pretty sure the answer is simple. But I don't have hour's to search the net.
And the FCPX "Help" feature just ****** me off....
I recorded voice on channel 2 and shotgun nat.sound on channel 1.
I only want the voice track (channel 2) to playback in stereo.
I have already edited the video so I don't want to re-import the raw video to seperate out just the channel 2 voice track.
How do I select just one audio channel in the timeline, then pan it so it plays back in both the L and R channel?
Also, some of the audio was recorded with a air conditioner running in the background. Any suggestions on best audio filers to remove or lessen it?
Thanks, Barry

I think you want to select the clip in the Timeline, choose the Inspector and then Audio, dual mono.
You can even do this by selecting multiple clips.
In the Event Browser as well.

PP CS5, importing mp4's I only get 1 audio channel instead of all 4...?

PC,
PP CS5, importing mp4's I only get 1 audio channel instead of all 4...? I put the clips in Vegas & all 4 channels appear. What can I do? Going insane!!!
Steve

It's pretty simple... when you know how
Get ffmbc - FFMedia Broadcast . This is a customized build of FFmpeg that is more geared toward broadcast formats and applications. The latest "official" release (0.5) will work.
Open the archive and find the "ffmbc.exe" file in the "bin" folder. Drop it into the folder with the MP4s--or if you know how to set up a custom path, you could do that too.
Create a new text file called something like "mp42mxf-4mono.bat" making sure that you can see file extensions; you need to have the .BAT extension. Make this file in the same folder as the MP4s and FFmbc.
Paste the following into the batch file:@ECHO OFF
for %%a in (*.mp4) do ffmbc -i "%%a" -vcodec copy -acodec pcm_s16le -f mxf -y "%%~na".mxf -acodec pcm_s16le -newaudio -acodec pcm_s16le -newaudio -acodec pcm_s16le -newaudio
Save it--again making sure it has a .BAT extension--and then double-click it to run it. It will rewrap all of the MP4s as MXF files that will import into Premiere. It will also retain the original four mono tracks as four mono tracks in the destination MXF.
That's all there is to it. Save that script, and you can recycle it whenever you get a batch of these types of problematic files in. Note that it's a completely lossless rewrapping, and should only take a few moments (or minutes, if you have a lot of footage, I suppose). Let me know how that goes.

I have QT Pro 7.6.6 and want to delete all audio (5 tracks) from a selected in-out section of a .mov file. Then, add new audio. How do I do that?

If I 1) knew TeX well enough to fix it, and 2) could get the guy to answer the phone or email so as to give me the sourcecode or to fix it himself, I wouldn't have bothered figuring out that the thing could be fixed one page at a time by a) getting a copy of acrobat pro, b) figuring out how to turn on all of the extra toolkits, c) finding the edit object button in randomly named toolkit, d) right clicking on the chapter title and selecting the e) ever so obvious "delete clip" menu selection.
At this point I would absolutely love to never have to touch an adobe product again in my life, but my hand has been dealt and if I'm going to print the manual for a software library that we've spent a cumulative $70,000 for, I have to figure this out and I really don't want to have to hit [Page Down], [Ctrl] + [A], Right click, delete clip for >700 pages.
I felt certain that once I'd figured out how to shift the pages down using ghostscript so first two lines of each page weren't getting cut off in the printer non-printable region, and finally figured out this that a relatively simple scripting solution would be immediately apparant. I mean, there are APIs for both applescript and javascript, but I'm mystified by how to get to the edit object feature from within them, much less how to tell that feature to delete clips for everything on a page.
