Multiple audio tracks not showing up on iphone video.

I created my video in iMovie '09 v. 8.0.6
I have two audio tracks, one person talking in the video and another being a background track. The video exports fine. The audio works when I play on the computer and after I have uploaded to my kickstarter site. When I try to play the video back from the kickstarter page on my iphone or ipad it only plays the background music, no audio from the person talking in the video. HOWEVER, if I plug in the headphones and listen it sounds fine.
What is the deal? Is there some setting I am missing when exporting that will allow both audio channels to play on the iphone external speaker?
Thanks.

I was having the same issue too. I was hoping that apple will address this issue with a SW update or at least someone from apple would be kind enough to answer this thread.
After researching for a couple days I found a solution. It's not the most efficient, but it works. You'll need a CD-R or CD-RW with this method. The trick is you need to convert m4p file format to mpa or mp3 file format.
You can follow the following steps:
1. Open iTunes
2. Create a New Playlist: File -> New Playlist
3. Drag the song(s) to the playlist you just created. Note: Depending on the file size you might only be able to burn just 1 song at a time
4. Insert a Blank CD to your disk drive.
5. Right click on the playlist then click "Burn Playlist to Disk." Then click burn. Make sure the Disc format is set to Audio CD.
6. Once the disc is finished, click on the CD in the device section in iTunes. Right click the song and click "Create AAC Version." This will create a .mpa file into your iTunes.
7. Copy that file to your iPhone and you're golden
Hope this helps guys. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but it works and now you can workout with those tunes. I know I've been quite frustrated because my tracks didn't show up, hopefully the new SW update will fix this.
I would appreciate any apple genius' solution that is more efficient as well.
Cheers

Additional audio tracks not showing up in my movie library. Thoughts?

I have movies in both .mp4 and .m4v format with multiple audio tracks (all AAC 96kbps; 48kHz - video is .h264). When imported into iTunes, I cannot choose the alternate video tracks. However, i know that they work, because I check them in both VLC and Plex and everything is as it should be. I have made sure that the formats meets the specs of both iTunes and the AppleTV 3rd generation (which displays the same issue).
I have accomplished this in iTunes a few weeks ago successfully so I am not sure what I am doing wrong this time. My goal is to build a collection with available audio commentaries. I am starting to Winder if iTunes holds a limit on audio track in a video. For instance - The Matrix has an addition 4 audio commentary tracks.
I remuxed all of these myself and have a history in digital video production. If anyone has any suggestions for something simple (or not) that I may be overlooking I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thank you!

Nike+ workout tracks not showing up on iPhone after sync

I have a bunch of the "workout" mixes you can get from iTunes (Increase Your Speed, Treadmill, etc), and with each of those sets, one track is a continuous mix of all of the songs. That one track is what I want to sync with my iPhone.
According to iTunes, the track is on the iPhone. When I click the little triangle next to the iPhone icon in iTunes, I see that the track is on the iPhone, but when I try and find it on the iPhone, it's not there. I have tried creating a playlist and also searching for it by name.
Any ideas why those track are not showing up? Thanks!

Audio Tracks not showing in itunes.

Dear All
After transferring audio tracks to itunes library I am manually dragging them to my ipod shuffle and the songs are shown in the shuffle but when I am deleting the tracks from the itunes library then nothing is shown in the ipod shuffle folder of itunes but the settings tab shows the amount of space used and the songs are present in the ipod as I can play them. I am not able to manage or change the sequence of song in shuffle since it is not shown in the device folder of itunes.How will I be able to see the list of songs presently transferred in my ipod shuffle if I delete them from the itunes library ?
Help please.
Thank you.

When I am deleting them from my itunes library I cannot see them in the shuffle folder though I can play all the songs in ipod shuffle.This problem does not happen in my Ipod classic 160GB.
Help Please.
Shuffle works differently from the "Ipod classic 160GB". There is NO additional help for this issue.

Videos not showing up in iPhone video app.

I am running the lastest version of iOS and iTunes. I have home sharing activated on both my iPhone 5 and my MacBook Pro. My MacBook is on and iTunes is open. My macbook is set not to go to sleep while connected to AC power. I can access my home sharing music library. However, when I open the video app all I can access are the three videos I have loaded onto my iPhone's internal memory. While I am at home and connected to my network, I would like to be able to access all the videos in my iTunes library. I do not understand what I am doing wrong. I have included a screen shot of what I see when I open the Videos app. The three TV episodes are loaded onto my phone if I ever find myself mobile with time on my hands. Thank you to anyone who helps!

I did some more experimenting...
I have one 'TV Show' type video on my iPhone = "Shared" missing;
I deleted the 'TV Show' = "Shared" reappeared;
I added the same 'TV Show' back = "Shared" missing;
I deleted the 'TV Show' = "Shared" reappeared;
I added a 'Movie' type video = "Shared" remained;
I added the same 'TV Show' back ="Shared" remained;
I deleted the 'Movie' = "Shared" remained.
So the videos on my phone in step 1 and 7 are the same but after randomly deleting and adding videos, I was able to toggle the "Shared" button back on. I did all this on iTunes while leaving the Video app on; after every step, the "Video" app would update with the "Shared" changes. Certainly not a fix for the problem but I hope this workaround helps others too.

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

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.

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.

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Thank you. This solved my problem too.
But, one little thing to share:
"There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
They called me back this morning at 10 am.
It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle. My problem is now fixed;
all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
Again, thank you.

Audio is not showing up in the browser nor the timeline???

i have a question. i recorded a video and viewed it and the video and audio is working. when i imported it and it showed up on the browser the audio outputs were not showing up. also when i tried to dragged it to the timeline the audio tracks didnt show up either. what could this be?? i have a sony dvcam hdv deck in which someone used it and im thinking maybe they changed some settings on the deck?? help please!!??

The VU meter is the audio meter (see FCE 4 user manual from page 56). If a clip include any audio, this meter should move when clip is played from browser to viewer.
The camera audio should be 16 bit 48 kHz. You can use 32 kHz if you select the correct preset in Easy setup dialog box.
Did you see the link provided earlier for patch panel bay use?
The patch panel switch is the way to tell to FCE where (understand on exact layer) adding video and audio in timeline. If the audio switches are disconnected, the edit will insert only video. There is a contextual menu to reset the patch panel switch.

Can AppleTV play multiple audio tracks in a movie?

I recently discovered (pretty much by accident) that iTunes and the iPhone supports multiple audio tracks in a single m4v video file. So I've started ripping my DVDs using Handbrake with both the main audio and the commentary track.
In iTunes and my iPhone I can swop between the two at will, but I cannot find any information on how or if it's possible to switch audio tracks on the AppleTV. Does anybody know?
I'm using an AppleTV 2 with up to date software and iTunes 7.6.2 set up to sync.

this same question was asked in the last 2 days (and may even be still listed on page 1).
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1541440&tstart=15
however, the answer is no.

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?

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...

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.

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.
