Multiple Audio Tracks for Multiclip Sequence

Hello,
I apologize if this answer is in the manual. I've been through it numerous times but can't find the solution. I have two long clips that I want to use multi-angle editing with. I have one audio monotrack on the first clip and two diff. and seperate audio tracks on the second clip (Left track is from one mic, Right is from another mic).
I want to set up a multiclip sequence so that there are 3 or 4 audio tracks below the single combined multiclip video track. I then want to edit in real time making cuts to the video and simultaneously cut all three (or 4) audio tracks at the same time. I know how to do this last thing but I don't know how to create the sequence with 3 or 4 audio tracks.
Any help would make my Sunday productive.
Thanks,
Peter Kraniak

Anyone want to throw some love my way?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Removing Dead Audio Tracks in Multiclip

    Question for FCP7.
    I'm working with a concert sequence that has a lot of problems. The footage wasn't shot properly so TC was a mess, but none the less, after a lot of work, one of our editors was able to craft a sequence with a number of multiclips representing two, sometimes three cameras.
    The trouble is, is looks like the sound was recorded onto different tracks for each camera. So a Stereo Mix on 1&2, the Lav on 3 but the boom on 5 for one camera, and the Stereo Mix on 1&2, Lav on 4 and the boom on 5 for the other. Sounds strange I know. So I've got 5 tracks of audio, with one dead track for each camera, but that dead source is on a different track for each camera in Final Cut.
    When I try to strip it out for one camera in a multiclip, it also cuts the same track, which is a good source, for the other camera when I switch back.
    This is hard to describe I know. Can you have an uneven amount of audio tracks in a multiclip? Can you cut one track from one source, and have it leave the tracks from the other intact?
    Thanks a bunch.

    It is possible (and pretty easy) to assign one audio track for the multiclip. I've found that if you want to use more than one track, it's easiest to mix in the other tracks after the cutting is completed.
    The FCP6 User Manual (the last with an index...) says this:
         To switch only the video of the active multiclip angle in the Viewer:
         1 Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.
         2 Choose View > Multiclip Active Tracks > Video.
         You can also choose this option from the Playhead Sync pop-up menu in the Viewer.
         3 Click an angle to make it active.
         A blue outline highlights the active video angle.
    which I find fairly unhelpful.
    I learned a "bass ackward" way of easily setting the audio track that works great once you understand it.
    1. Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.
    2. Select a angle that contains the audio track you want to use. There should be both green and blue borders on this clip when selected. (if not, choose Video + Audio from the Playhead Sync (center) drop-down button.)
    3. Using the Playhead Sync drop-down button (the center button above the angle array in Viewer), select Video and then cliuck on any other angle. At this point, there should be a green border on the angle you wish to use for audio and a blue border on the current video angle. From here on, as you cut the audio should stay on its angle while the video will be on whatever angle you have chosen.
    I refer to this as "reverse Polish notation", (no flames please")  a term that was used to describe the arithmetic system used on the H-P technical calculators.  In essence, you set the video to indicate where you don't want the audio to be...
    hope this helps

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to retain multiple audio tracks when exporting?

    While ripping my DVD collection, I've wanted to add a purchased RiffTrax (see www.riftrax.com) to the movie as another audio track. I've been successful, but it took the following steps:
    1. Encode the movie using Handbrake, open the resulting m4v file in Quicktime Pro
    2. Also in Quicktime Pro, open the Rifftrax aac file I created and add it as another audio track in the m4v
    3. Save the m4v as a Quicktime mov file
    4. Use Handbrake again to encode the mov file into an m4v file, including my added audio track
    The reason I have to do step 4 is because if I were to export an m4v file directly from Quicktime Pro, it would compress all of the audio tracks into a single audio track. It would save a lot of time if Quicktime could export multiple audio tracks, at least when exporting to formats that can handle them. Does anyone know if this is possible?
    BTW, if anyone wants more details into how I create the RiffTrax aac, just ask.
    - Jake

    I've answered my own question, it was a lot easier than I thought. After the first encoding by Handbrake, there's really no difference between calling it a mov file or m4v file. I can change the file extension at will and there's no need to do an export that mashes the audio tracks. It's only AppleTV that needs to see the m4v file extension, Quicktime and iTunes doesn't seem to care one way or the other.
    Thanks for letting me think out loud.

  • 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...

  • Adding Multiple audio tracks

    Hi people.
    How can I add multiple Audio tracks on a video which then can be switched on a DVD remote control?
    Please help.
    thanks in advance.
    J.

    jagthandi,
    I agree with you on the separate purchase of Encore. It's a great authoring program. Until CS3, it was sold as a stand-alone, though was also included in the CS2 Production Studio, which is how I came by it. Adobe began integrating it more and more closely to Premiere Pro, so that became more of a "module," than a stand-alone. As of CS3 it only came bundled with P-Pro. Good on one hand, but not so good, on the other. Having used it for many years now, I would be loathe to use any other authoring application.
    It seems that Sony has done similar with their DVD Architect Pro, only bundling it with Vegas Pro.
    What this means is that there are now few full-featured authoring applications in an affordable price range. DVD Studio Pro being one of the few, and its interface is not as clean as Encore's. It offers potentially more power, but you have to do some basic programming to use that power. At the top of the list is Sonic Scenarist, but at around US$50K, complete, it's not really an option. Also, its interface takes years to learn.
    So very glad that I have Encore2. I will likely never part with that program, as it does 99% of what I would ever want from an authoring application. That last 1% can usually be done with some creative workarounds.

  • Multiple Audio Tracks

    Hey guys,
    My main profession is a composer, although I'm quite comfortable with various video tools as well and have done video production and post professionally for some time.
    often when I compose a piece for a trailer or something, I might have a couple of different versions, or at least a couple of different mixes to A-B on various systems, and show the client.
    Is there a way to have a quick time movie with multiple audio tracks? so that I would be able to switch from track A, to B, to C , etc...?
    I know how to do this for DVD authoring, but I was wondering if there is a way to do this for web and/or other formats, so that I can put the video on my iphone, or ipad and be able to plug it in and show the client option A, B, C, etc... or at least upload a video online and the client can choose the various audio tracks.
    any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks
    David

    Whilst FCP can create QuickTime movies with up to 24 audio tracks (so you could easily have a single video with 12 different stereo mixes) I don't know of any way to actually handle choosing which tracks to monitor other than by doing so directly in the Movie Properties window inside of the QuickTime Player app or similar ... but I'm not a web code monkey so it may possible nonetheless, hopefully some clever clogs will pop by and educate us
    Best

  • Multiple audio tracks, how many can typically fit on a dvd?

    Hi...
    I am working on a yoga video, which is planning to have approx 5 audio tracks for voice (planning to be randomized on playback) so the dialog stays more fresh.
    Ok.. Question is.. We also have a director commentary track.. So... Thats 6 tracks...
    Then we need to have music on/off options.. so thats now-- 11 tracks (5 tracks with voice-over and music, 5 w/o music, 1 commentary track).
    The length of the video for this is approx 55 minutes. Though the dvd will feature other video content with the length of about an hour (but without multiple audio). So-- 11 audio tracks over 55 minutes, and 1 audio track over 60 minutes.
    Is this going to be a problem? I don't know very much about the different types of dvds out there, capable of holding more data than others.. So I just am trying to get a sense of what is going to be needed to accomplish this.
    Thank you in advance for any advice provided.
    -patrick

    I'm not positive, but I think that 8 tracks is the limit. Perhaps you could think of having music as a random element, giving you 7 random tracks (four that happen to have music) plus the director. Otherwise you're stuck with three random tracks that can also have music turned off (hey, why not have the director with and without music too!). Or get rid of the director and have four random tracks with and without music.
    As for whether it'll fit, you want to keep below 8 megabits per second, and for nice sounding stereo music and voice you would use 192 kbps for each sound track. With eight that is about 633 MByte of the disc space. It could be less if you want to use 64 or 128 kbps in the case of there being no music.
    Taking the better case, you have about 3.7 GBytes of space for the 55 minutes of video. That's still a high data rate for the video (well over 8 mbps). So the real limit is keeping the total under 8.
    The 8 sets of 192 kbps uses about 1.5 mbps, so just use about 6.3 mbps for the video. It'll look great, and the eight audio tracks will work fine.
    Another option you have is to duplicate the video track. One copy of the track would have the with music versions, and the other track would have the without music ones. That lets you have seven variations, plus the director one. You wouldn't easily be able to make an on the fly change of mind about having music.
    The figures then come out to making the video at about 4.4 mbps, which would still look good.

  • 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.

  • 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)?

  • Exporting QT file with multiple audio tracks

    I'm trying to create a digibeta tape of my movie. The company who does it wanted a QuickTime file with the movie where there were 2 audio tracks (4 in sterio). One with the music and sound effects and another with narration and interviews. I'm not sure if this is possible or where to set the option for this. Can anyone help?

    Command+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, go to the Audio Outputs tab and change the Outputs to 4 whilst keeping the Grouping as Stereo.
    Back on the timeline, ensure your audio media is on the correct audio track for export, eg, all music on 7&8 , 9&10, VO on 5 and/or 6 , etc etc. Basically, keeping an organised timeline without spreading audio over random tracks really helps.
    Ensure the audio tracks are assigned to the correct channels. To do this, on the timeline you see the 'destination buttons' A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 etc etc... next to each button is a padlock, then you have the Toggle Auto Select icon. Control-click on this icon and you'll see the Audio Outputs setting, which shows which stereo pair that particular track is assigned to. In this case, you'll want to assign Music and Effects to 3&4, whilst keeping narration and interviews on 1&2.
    Export Quicktime Movie.
