Need to keep two mono channels separated when exporting to mini-dv

I need to export a project to tape, but I need to keep the two mono channels separated. When I go back to check the audio channels have been mixed. The VO has to remain separate from the rest of the audio (music & sfx), because the client intends to create a another translation of the video.
I'm using FCP6, and I am connected to the deck via firewire. I'm uncertain as to whether my problem lies in FCP settings or in the deck settings (I've searched my deck manual and can't find anything mentioned on this matter). Any help would be appreciated.

Honestly, the only way I have to capture it is to recapture what I just exported and look at the audio channels
This sounds more complicated than it needs to be. To what are you capturing, a camera or a deck? Either way, you must be capable of playing back the tape on whatever machine you have and monitor it from that using headphones at the very least.

How to SPLIT ONE STEREO TRACK'S L & R CHANNELS INTO TWO MONO CHANNELS

Does anyone know if this is possible: How to SPLIT ONE STEREO TRACK'S L & R CHANNELS INTO TWO MONO CHANNELS? There's got to be a way, but I just can't find out how.
I recorded a podcast -- me and a guest, with each mic going to its own mono channel. When I opened it in Audition it mixed them into one stereo channel.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best,
Shawn

You're a big help! Thanks very much. Simple yet I must be going blind because I didn't see that in the menu.
Take care and THANKS AGAIN.

Capturing Two Mono Channels and Not Stereo Channels

For the first time, I'm shooting footage with audio on two individual mono channels (on two separate XLR inputs). All are camera settings are correct, however, when I capture in Final Cut Express, it captures the audio as linked stereo (LR) channels, not two mono channels.
Anyone know what could be wrong?
Big thanks!

There's nothing wrong. When you connect a mic to each of the 2 inputs on your camcorder, your camera records the audio as 1 stereo pair, and FCE captures it that way from your camcorder.
In FCE, you can either pan each channel totally to its Left or Right side; or you can separate the stereo pair into 2 independent audio tracks. You may still want to pan each channel to get the sound you want.

Need to keep two paragraph styles on same line

Coming from Ventura and need to recreate all publications in Indesign - can't find the equivalent of "breaks - line break: none". Need to keep two paragraph styles on same line.

Like Ventura, FrameMaker has been able to do this for decades.
You're correct about zero leading being inadequate, if not only in appearance, but also for maintaining the document through changes, especially if someone other than you needs to edit it.
Nested styles are logical to create and use. Search Google for terms like "InDesign nested styles," without quotes, for lots of links to tutorials and details.
If you need to create TOC entries for each of the two parts of text in this example, even after formatting with a nested style, InDesign's TOC will see only the single paragraph. If that works, OK. If you want to be able to create a TOC reference to each part, you'll have to create hidden text for each part, and you'll need to create a paragraph style for each, as well. This is because InDesign's TOC only captures complete paragraphs.
[EDIT] If you think this is an important feature enhancement that should be included in a future InDesign release, post a formal feature request in the form here: WISH.[/EDIT]

I do miss Ventura a lot. For others, basically side-by-side paragraphs are successive paragraphs (one below the other) that the paragraph style can then format so they are next to each other, out in the margin as callouts, etc.

Color separation when exporting a PDF

It's been driving me nuts, ADOBE seems to have forgotten about color separation when using the export to PDF method. Even quark has this option.
Anyway I was hoping to know if there is a way that I don't know.
Cheers

You’re asking for fairly archaic things here.
You can put in a feature request but you’d need to explain how this would benefit the entire user base and IMO you’re going to have a rough time doing so.
Bob, it might be archaic, but it's still used a lot in the publishing world.
in the book world, the new trend is for firms to do books in a co-edition format. The idea is to have one firm do all the work (normally in english). But then other firms from other countries and other languages will simply send a PDF of the text ONLY without the colors (cmyk). So when I export the PDF I only need ONE color. I do not wish to export the whole CMYK.
Do you understand where I am getting from.
So in simplified terms. The printer has 4 plates for the colours of the book and will simply change a 5th plate to the desired language.
5000 copies
CMYK plates
5th plate: german text
10 000 copies
French
exactly the same CMYK plates as german
5th plate: switch to the french plate
50 000 copies
English
exactly the same CMYK plates as german
5th plate: switch to the english plate
and so on....
The cost is greatly reduced for everyone, but we need an option to export the TEXT only.
You will simply say, but have the text in a separate layer. That is true, but in reality, it's not all the files that are built like that and most graphic designers will have the text on a separate spot color instead of a separate layer. Unfortunately when I receive the file it's too late to do the changes.
I hope I make sense, english is not my first language.

How to keep a custom file order when exporting a preview cataloge?

I export my LR catalog as a preview catalog for my editor. He edits the photos, plus, he re-arranges the ORDER (sequence) of the photos for me.
When he exports it as a catalog and sends it back to me, the sequence is lost because I am guessing that the file order sequence will show only on his computer.
Given he cannot rename the files because that will lose the link/connection on import on my end, is there a way he can save the catalog so that the custom sequence stays the same on my end?

Klaus,
I wouldn't know that Microsoft provides access to the controls that Explorer and file dialog consist of.
There might be a different and more powerful solution though. The
WINDOWS Explorer / file dialog have a plugin API that allows you to
associate your own application for thumbnail creation with a particular
file extension. That way, TDMS thumbnails will show in any instance of
Explorer and
File Dialog without you having to make your own dialog. Basically, you
would need to compile the VI that creates the thumbnail into a
LabVIEW-built DLL and then wrap this DLL with some C++ boilerplate code
that Microsoft provides. You might want to have a look at the bottom of
this article to get an idea of how the whole thing works:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0600/w2kui2/default.aspx.
Hope that helps,
Herbert

How can I keep my screen captures sharp when exporting to PDF?

I've tried using a screen capture tool that allows me to snag in the exact size, plus I changed downsampling to none in the export settings, but the screen captures still look blurry in the PDF. What else can I do to keep them looking sharp?
My client insists on using InDesign to lay out this presentation and wants a sharp looking PDF to send to clients.

Ok, there's the problem. You turned off effective compression of the photos.
I don't know how, or whether, you can have different compression for different image classes in InDesign. That's really a question for an InDesign forum.
Good luck!

How to keep audio synchronized with video when exporting?

I have a few .mp4 source files that I'd like to combine into a single file. I've done the editing and exported. When played, the audio is misaligned to the video. As a test, I've tried exporting a single clip rather than joining a few and the same thing happens. I end up with audio that is misaligned to the video after export even though they are perfectly synched in the source video. As another test I've tried exporting a single clip to .mpeg rather than .mp4 and the audio stays perfectly synched with the video. It seems the misalignment occurs whenever I export to .mp4. I'm obviously missing a fundemental concept here. Can anyone shed some light on it for me? Thanks in advance.

Hi Rafeek,
One solution is to set the column width after manually or programmatically refresh the PivotTable, for example:
Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
End Sub
Another option is to set the column width, then protect the columns from been updated by the user, before refreshing the PivotTable, unprotect the worksheet. For example:
Public Sub LockColumnA()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
ws.Columns("A").Locked = True
ws.Protect "123"
End Sub
Public Sub UnprotectWorksheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Unprotect ("123")
End Sub

Split Stereo to Two Mono Tracks - Need Help

We're having trouble with STP working with two non-stereo tracks.
We have footage that we're editing in Final Cut Pro that was captured with two separate mics providing the audio. (A wireless lav and a shotgun.) The sequence is set up with two mono tracks.
When sending the project to SoundTrack Pro, it's opened up as a pair of stereo tracks. We cannot find a way to edit just one of the tracks without it affecting both at the same time.
How can we separate the tracks so they can be tweaked individually and then sent back to Final Cut Pro?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

...and when doing that, make sure when you export, you don't fall over one of the many bugs in STP:
You will probably find that the clip with the right channel selected actually plays the left channel after being exported (sound fine on the timeline - problem only on the exported file).
The solution is to
1) duplicate the stereo file and place on new track (as suggested)
2) select left channel on first clip (control/right click the file)
3) select second clip and swap the L and R channels around (Process-> swap channels)
4) select left channel on first clip (control/right click the file)
Oh the joys of STP!

Keep Red Filename when exporting to QT

I have a lot of Red Footage which I need to trim/color correct in FCP. I use log and transfer window to ingest the footage and then Export > Quick Time to 1080p.
The problem is, I have to maintain the original filename for future reference.
Is there a way to keep the original file name when exporting?
When I export, it ask me for the file name as "save as" and it puts "Sequence 1" by default in. Is there any way to override that and put the original file name in?

Yes, thank you, I know about the voodoo to get things out to Compressor. Must be a sequence in the main sequence folder in the bin to work voodoo thing.
I think my problems are systemic as now compressor will not launch. I have been having nothing but problems since I installed 10.4.10. First all my Office programs would not launch then I actually installed OS 10.4.10 several times rebuilding my system by archive and installing 10.4.8 and then using the combo installer from there. I thought I had a stable system but I guess I will have to revert to 10.4.9 or reinstall compressor or Quick Time or FCP Studio or.......ARRGGHHHH?
I though that the dialog was amusing in the extreem! It wasn't "Sequence has no media" it was:
"No Movie in File" Of course there isn't any movie in the file you didn't put the movie into a file....sheesh. Anyway I'll post again.

What? Do you work for Apple?
I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it.

Adobe Crashes upon adjusting Audio Gain and when exporting

First a bit about the systems in question
I have four identical edit bays. Each has a Dual Core 2.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 3.0 gbs of ram, a single sata drive split into two partitions (system 30 gb and video 470 gb). I am running up to date PPro 5.0.2, freshly installed on virgin drives. I was running Avsynth and FFdshow as a way to be able to import my old MJPEG footage, but thanks to Colin Brougham, I have that particular demon slain (and I am removing those two programs).I have two of the bays with the most up to date 64 bit manufacturer video and audio drivers, and two bays with Windows 7 automatically installed video and audio drivers. The problem is the same in all four bays.
We dump in one of two ways: either a direct DV dump via firewire or downloading .MXF files from our Panasonic P2 cameras via USB (can't seem to get the firewire PC dump to work correctly). The project settings I am using are DV-NTSC - Standard 48 Khz, with a slight change of requiring upper fields first (we're using a Maxx500 playout server, and it requires upper fields first). We have been experiencing intermittent crashes for a week and a half, but in the last few days they have picked up (no new updates applied, so its not that). I have two culprits:
One is an error code that thanks to this thread I know is related to the audio gain. My problem is that I have done everything I can think of and still no luck. It's been crashing with such regularity that my reporters are saving every few minutes, and I have the auto save set to 5 minutes. Today I had to reinstall this bay because it was crashing every time audio gain was adjusted.
My other problem relates to export. I use the MainConcept MPEG Encoder to output mpegs for the playout server, and about every fourth or fifth time the program will crash on export. Its not a pain to recover from, since at that point the reporters have saved and merely have to reopen and reset up the export, but it is happening far to regularly. Event Viewer references windows/system32/ntdll.dll as the faulting module. Again, I am having this error on two different bays, one with manufacturer drivers and one with Windows 7 installed drivers.
I know that despite my efforts I've probably not given enough info, so let me know what you need.

...downloading .MXF files from our Panasonic P2 cameras via USB (can't seem to get the firewire PC dump to work correctly).
That's correct. Avoid FW offloading on a PC; in fact, while it used to be the way to interface a P2 camera with a Mac, it's all USB there now, as well. Stick with USB, and you'll be fine. (I know this wasn't the gist of your thread, but I thought I'd shine a little light on that.)
One is an error code that thanks to this thread I know is related to the audio gain. My problem is that I have done everything I can think of and still no luck. It's been crashing with such regularity that my reporters are saving every few minutes, and I have the auto save set to 5 minutes. Today I had to reinstall this bay because it was crashing every time audio gain was adjusted.
This is known/acknowledged/as-yet-unsquashed bug, assuming that you're remapping your MXF audio channels from the two mono channels that are originally produced by the camera to a single stereo channel. You may be doing this manually, in the bin, or you might have a preference set to do this automatically on import (Edit > Preferences > Audio > Source Channel Mapping; if it's set to Stereo, try setting it to Use File). This bug only seems to rear its head when the mono channels of an MXF clip are remapped to stereo; if they remain as mono, you can use the Audio Gain command successfully.
If, however, your audio channels aren't stereo, post back; there might be something else going on.
My other problem relates to export. I use the MainConcept MPEG Encoder to output mpegs for the playout server, and about every fourth or fifth time the program will crash on export. Its not a pain to recover from, since at that point the reporters have saved and merely have to reopen and reset up the export, but it is happening far to regularly. Event Viewer references windows/system32/ntdll.dll as the faulting module. Again, I am having this error on two different bays, one with manufacturer drivers and one with Windows 7 installed drivers.
When you say "MainConcept MPEG Encoder," are you referring to the MPEG2 encoder that is part of Premiere/AME, or are you referring to some sort of add-on encoder?
