Multiple audio track editing problem

Hello, Im editing a film right now and we have a tons of temp music score tracks along with the standard vocal track from the camera. I am running into major problems, because when I go to trim a clip a little, it says operation not allowed because a piece of audio temp music is below it. I have to lock the the audio (say its 7&8) to make the trim, but then all the music on that track doesnt get shifted down. How the **** I am supposed to edit with multiple tracks. Is it just not possible? Please say no.

Sequence settings, Source material specs, number of audio tracks, please.

Recording Multiple Audio Tracks - delay problems in 7.2 Pls HELP

Hi, I'm finding very buggy behavior - if I record across several audio tracks (say 5 mono channels) for longer then 10-15 sec. Logic HANGS for a long time when I'm done with a take - 15-25 secs of the spinning ball icon, and then will redraw and start the dialog box that says it's computing the overview. I'm currently on 7.2.2 but I also tried going back to 7.2.1 and it's still doing this. I have the "faster overview calculation" box un-checked, but it didn't seem to make any difference either way. I also tried this on a new file, same problem -
I also already tried recording to different drives, and selecting and unselecting the 'record limit' dialog in the record destination dialog - I usually have this set to a max recording time of about 7 minutes. None of these changes affected the sluggish behavior.
Anybody else know of this and know of a fix/workaround? I have a session to record tonight with multiple players and this session is going to go like molasses unless I figure this out!
thanx

Hmm, I've never had anything like this. I'm wondering whether it indicates an underlying disk problem?
Try running repair permissions and a disk diagnostic tool if you have it. Are you using an internal or external drive? Try recording to a different drive if you can and see whether the problem persists.
You could also try creating a different user and running Logic under that account, to see if it still shows the same behaviour (if not, then it could be a user permissions issue or something funky with your user account).

Movies - Multiple audio tracks strange problem

This is a strange problem.
I have a .mov with 2 audio tracks. One italian (the first and active) and one english. The movie is compatible with ATV.
Using QuickTime Pro I can choose the language while watching the movie.
Using iTunes I see the movie with the first language selected on preferences (cmd+j on QuicTime Pro).
On ATV the same movie plays just English, the second language, and this is quite strange.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Greetings
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hmm, I don't really know. I have converted the DVD with 128 kbps for the two audio traks (stereo).Sounds like I need to go back and run additional tests. For my first attempt, I used two stereo tracks -- each 128 Kbps @ 44.1 KHz. For latest test used two mono tracks with the first 64 Kbps @ 44.1 KHz (keyed to English) and the second 32 Kbps @ 32 KHz (keyed to Italian).
I create a m4v video, I open with QuickTime Pro and work on the preferences for audio traks, than I save with mov extension.Had assumed we were both using similar strategies to create alternate audio movies here. Basically I create the movie with two audio tracks and then open the "Properties" window, select the first audio track (which is already set for English), set the alternate audio track pop-up for Audio Track 2, select the second audio track, set the language pop-up to Italian for this one, and use the Save As... menu option to create a Fast Sart, Standalone movie in the MOV container.
In this way I have a perfect double-language movie that, as I told, works perfectly on QuickTime and iTunes.Did have one question though. When you say you have a "perfect double-language movie that ... works perfect on QuickTime and iTunes," are you saying you can change the language in iTunes while the movie is playing? While I have no problem changing language using the "Choose language" menu command in the QT player, I have yet to be able to find a way to do this while playing in iTunes.
UPDATE: to temporally solve the problem I have changed the infos on movie properties. Calling the English audio track "Holland" (or any other language that is listed after Italian) I have solved the problem. On Tv, iTunes and Quicktime I can hear the "default" language (italian) and, just changing again the properties, I cand hear the second language.I think we are doing the same thing only I did not bother/have to use and additial language setting to get this to work.
In this case Audio Track 2 (Italian) is the default.
In this case Audio Track 1 (English) is the default.
Thus, for my test, I created two separate movies with each defaulted differently and played them back in each program/device to see which audio track played. In each case it was the "checked" default audio track and changing the "Language" setting for TV to Italian had no effect.

Premiere pro: multiple audio tracks in a single take. (Workflow for audio mixing outside premiere)

Hi I am an editor from Finland.
I need to sync multiple audio tracks (like 2 stereo and 4 mono) to different takes before i start to edit. You see, after the editing I will create an OMF file for the sound editor who needs all the audio tracks to work with. I have noticed however by just nesting (puttin video and audio clips in a single sequence) the resulting sequence placed on in the main sequence is flattened into stereo (not multichannel). You see my problem here? I am surprised, because i have always taught that this is a very normal workflow and so far i haven't found a single tutorial or a guide for this problem.
Just to make sure we're on the same page: I know how to sync video and audio, just not so that the 6different audio tracks in all my 120 different takes that i edit into a single sequence will have the 6different audio tracks in the audio post production (which is done in protools, maybe...)
Oh yeah, Premiere Pro CS5

Hi!
This is the case when i get a master clip with all the audio tracks in it. I however got separate files, a bunch of different video files (with stereo track), for every take a boom mic audio track, and a few tracks for all the microphones on the actors. Now after i import these into premiere, how will i proceed so that after i have synced all the audioclips to all the video clips (by nesting?) I will still have all the audio clips intact in the OMF file I will create.
Last time i created omf, all the clips had turned into stereo because of nesting. Is the only way to avoid this by joining the video and audio clips into multichannel audio clips with another program before importing into premiere?
I am not very good at explaining... Problem: I get a video and 10 audio tracks. I join them by putting them into a sequence. I repeat this about a hundred times (for every take). Now i start to edit. I create the main sequence in which i clip pieces from all the hundred takes. In the main sequence the clips have only one stereo track. When the movie is finished I create an OMF for the sound guy. The sound guy asks me why are there only 2 tracks per clip? Where are all the 10 separate audio tracks?

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.

How to play multiple audio tracks simultaneously?

Hi there,
I am having problem with playing multiple audio tracks. I want to play 2 or more audio tracks at exact time (without delay) - is it possible? how can it be done?

So, essentially, you're trying to take a recording of say, a singer and a guitar player, and end up with the singer in one file and the guitar in the other. Got it.
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/Merge.html]
That sample will merge multiple input files into a single file. Because you want to play the files together rather than save them, just take the sample and strip out all of the DataSink stuff, and add the following line right after the Processor "outputProcessor" is realized...
outputProcessor.setContentDescriptor(null);
So, it'll make the following revision to the code:
     // Create the output processor
     ProcessorModel outputPM = new MyPMOut(merger);
     try {
         outputProcessor = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(outputPM);
                    outputProcessor.setContentDescriptor(null);
         outputDataSource = outputProcessor.getDataOutput();
     } catch (Exception exc) {
         System.err.println("Failed to create output processor: " + exc);
         System.exit(-1);
     }That'll make the outputProcessor play the file, as if it was a Player object. You won't have any visual controls, but if you need visual controls, then don't do that, and just create a Player object to play the outputDataSource.

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.

Question about multiple audio tracks

Hello,
I see that imovie has only 2 audio tracks available when creating a movie. I need more than two since I will be working with a voiceover track, a soundtrack and at least one background/environment track all at one time. I won't be able to use the sound recorded with the video so that "track" is not an option.
My question is; Am I out of luck here and need to spend the 1K for studio pro to add more multiple audio tracks?
Also, I tried working with garageband but since all of my audio tracks import in at a minimum of 40 beats per minute, the voiceovers are all sped up and sound chipmunky.
Thanks for any help!

Well I didn't mean to irritate you...LOL And yes, I realize that this is the iM 6 forum but the gist of my question was related to multiple audio tracks in iM and thought I would ask about it in the forum pertaining to the latest release.
I had already posted a question in the GB forum regarding the bpm problem and found no answers so I was pretty much about to shelve that idea and forgo the whole garageband thing; this without knowing about the new "swap" features. I just updated to iM 6 yesterday.
As far as the "on-tape" raw audios: I was working on my movie in iM4. I wanted to add more audio bits but I don't have a proper mic for my G5 so I recorded the audio bits on dv8 tape through my camcorder. I imported the video (the image was the inside of my lens cap!), extracted the audio, took those audio files and imported them into GarageBand. That's when I noticed the bpm problem.
I'm sorry about the lack of info I originally gave but like I said, I had pretty much gave up on the idea of using GarageBand. I'm pretty new at this and I'm trying to decide what I need in terms of software to get what I want out of my movie. I'd be willing to pay for FCxp but still looking into whether I need to do just that or whether I can get by by using imovie and now it looks like GarageBand too.
ah, thanks for that
what irritates me, Prince wrote:
The audio tracks were voiceovers that came from my
dv8tape, imported into imovie4.
... ehm, but this is the iM 6(six) section, as said,
iM 6 allows now "swapping" files with GB3... (I'm way
back in the 90ies.... see my specs... )
so, video is in some iM, and he wants to use the
actual "on-tape" raw audios...
I thnik we need a little more detail...

Multiple Audio tracks in Premire Pro

I have an interview that is done and now I'm trying to clean up the background noise in Soundbooth. I've done a good job cleaning it up but now how do I apply that same series of effects to multiple audio tracks in the same sequence? I'm currently just right clicking on the audio of the clip and selecting edit in Soundbooth>render and replace. But I have so many clips in my sequence it would take forever to do each one.
Is there a work around for this?
Thanks -

This may not be the only way, or best way, but if you have a bunch of clips in a row that all need the same treatment, you could export your Work Area as a .wav file, import and drop into timeline, then do the Soundbooth business on the new clip all at once.

Multiple audio tracks playout from FCPX.

Hi, How do i handle multiple audio tracks to play directly from FCPX. Previous versions of FCP gave the freedom of assigning an audio pair to an sdi pair.

Aside from the possible legal ramifications of what you are doing with other people's copyrighted property, some of the trailers are obviously plain old stereo while others are Dolby 5:1 Surround.

Movie Playing multiple audio tracks & echoing

I have a movie that is in a symbol that i want to play after a set amount of time by using setInterval. The function works - but when it shows the symbol and plays - it plays multiple audio tracks at the same time - sounding like an echo and or a 1-2 second delay on the same audio track. It also seems the audio starts playing on the main root without actually triggering the playhead of the video symbol.
Following is the code i am using for both timer and the video. Any pointers?
// interval
         var timer = setInterval(onTimer,10000);
         var mysymbol = sym.getSymbol("btn1_video");
         // function
         function onTimer() {
            // clear last interval
            clearInterval(timer);
            // action
            sym.$("btn1_video").show();
//and on on the movie symbol timeline trigger:
var vid = $("<video width='818' height='460' autoplay='autoplay' preload='auto' controls='controls' id='videoID'>" +
"<source src='video/testvideo.m4v' type='video/mp4' />" +
    "<source src='video/testvideo.webm' type='video/webm' />" +
   "<source src='video/testvideo.ogg' type='video/ogg' />" +
   "This browser is not compatible with HTML 5" +
"</video>");
sym.$("btn1_video").append(vid);

You identified the problem. I thought that you had to highlight the first song to get the playlist going, but all that does is make the first song repeat itself. Thanks for the guidance.

Video with Multiple Audio Tracks-- IOS 4.2 Removes Way to Select Them

After upgrading to IOS 4.2 on my iPhone 4, I've found it no longer lets me select from among multiple audio tracks. The option and button is completely gone.
I encode my videos with AC3 audio as the first track (for my home media devices), and stereo audio as the second track (for the iPhone). Now the iPhone will just play the video, with no audio, and no way to select another track. This is extremely frustrating as I've encoded all my DVDs this way, and never had any issue with playback like this on any IOS device going back to the first gen iPod Touch.
Anyone else have this issue, and know of a work around? Thanks!

I too have the exact same problem for the exact same reason. Did you ever figure out a workaround (other than reencoding all your videos)?

No audio on files with multiple audio tracks

All my files that have multiple audio tracks (e.g. stereo and surround) no longer have audio when I initially start up my Apple TV 2. When I manually change the audio track in the menu (from stereo to surround or vice versa), I get the sound back but I would have to do this with every single file and do this each time I start up my Apple TV. Anyone else notice this problem. This only started happening after the most recent update.

Cp4 - Multiple audio tracks on a single slide?

Hello folks,
Never tried this before... but it doesn't look like it is possible to place multiple audio tracks on different timelines on a single slide.
I was hoping I could do that rather than editing a single track.
Will Cp5 allow multiple audio tracks on a single slide?

No. Cp does not allow multiple audio tracks. But it does allow you to attach audio to multiple objects, which is somewhat more flexible.
If you need multiple tracks in the audio file, you'll need to arrange that using an audio editing software application (such as Adobe Soundbooth) prior to importing the audio file into Captivate.

MP4 - anamorph flag and multiple audio tracks

So far Quicktime simply ignores the anamorph flag in mp4 video files, making it impossible to backup dvds and converting them for appletv without a very significant loss in resolution and quality. Will there be an update for this issue soon or is it simply not wanted to allow best possible backups? I know the workarround with the quicktime reference movie, but why not implement the mp4 specs correctly and make it all easier for us?
What about MP4 videos with multiple audio tracks. I'd like to keep english and german audio tracks of my DVDs when converting to appletv. As far as i know appletv doesn't allow a selection of the audio track. Workarround with Quicktime Reference Movie works here es well, saving two Reference Movies with only one audio track enabled, but why not make it easy for us consumers and allow audio track selection on appletv. Will there be an Update?
Hope to get some answers.

modelone,
Thanks for your post. I have been experiencing the same problem of not being able to pass-through export an MP4 file that was encoded with CE-Quicktime profile.
Your post helped me to discover a workaround that will allow you to set the proper width of an MP4 file that is encoded with CE-Quicktime profile. This method does not require Quicktime Pro, and the corrected file plays properly in Quicktime and Apple TV.
First, encode the MP4 file using CE-Quicktime profile. Then, open Dumpster and drag the MP4 file into it. Navigate to 'moov', then 'trak', then 'tkhd', then select 'Matrix [a b u]'. There are 3 hexadecimal values for this key. The first number is the transformation matrix that Quicktime and Apple TV uses to determine the correct display aspect. This is the value that is multiplied to the encoded horizontal resolution to derive the horizontal display resolution. For e.g. if the encoded resolution is 720 x 576 and you want it to play back in 1024 x 576, the matrix value is 1024/720 = 1.4222. Change that first number to this correct hexadecimal fractional value and click 'Apply'.
The patched MP4 file will now play back in correct aspect ratio in Quicktime and Apple TV.
Hope this helps!
