Recapturing  clips to get extra audio channel

Hi all:
it's been awhile since I've been on this forum. I have a few reels of video clips that were logged to capture video and only one channel of audio. I really need both channels of audio. According to the book, I can just select the clips, and recapture, and get both channels by deselecting the box in the first capture window that comes up that asks if I want to use the logged clips settings. I've done that, but I keep getting the same one channel capture. What am I doing wrong?

Well, I tried that, too. Nada. I took it out of the drive, and then tried to change both the track and the audio column, and control clicking gave me "no shortcuts". when I reloaded, even though I dechecked the "as logged box" and the dialog below that said I was getting video and two audio channels, I'm just getting channel 2. This is weird. I shouldn't have to reload 4 reels of tape just to get an extra audio track, I hope somone else has some ideas.
Thank you for your help , Randy. Any more thoughts? Send 'em my way!

  • 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.

  • Get 4 audio channels out through SDI whit BlackMagic UltraStudio Express

    Hi,
    We have some issues with the Blackmagic UltraStudio Express and Premiere Pro.
    We need to get out 4 audio channels through SDI for different broadcast and news feeds. We can't do that with the UltraStudio Express on different Mac Book Pro (one on OS 10.9 and one on 10.8.5) with Premiere pro CC and Premiere pro CS6. (We have try with the driver 9.9.3 and 9.6.8). The only thing we manage to monitor out of the UltraStudio is 2 audio channels.
    We know it "could" work as :
    - We are able with the same setup to get 4 audio channels via FCP 7.0
    - We are able with a Mac Pro OS10.8.5 + Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 2 (driver 9.6.8) to get 4 audio channels with Adobe Premiere CC
    Do you have maybe a solution for this ?
    Have a nice day !
    Best regards

  • When I merge clips the number of audio channels double

    I have a .mov file from my 5diii that has stereo audio and a .wav mono file from my audio recorder.
    When I drag a clip into a bin (for sorting) it merges the clip.
    That merged clip now has 6 audio channels instead of 3.
    It also happens if I select them and just choose merge from the menu.
    Anyone know what's going on with this?

    Simply dragging a clip to a bin shouldn't be merging anything.  I've never heard of that behavior, and suspect some observer error on that one.
    Do you intend to use the original camera audio?

  • I only get one audio channel when i make a rough cut.

    Hey everyone,
    when I'm making a rough cut with my subclips in Adobe Prelude, he combines my two audio channels into one track. Even when i export my subclips to Premiere Pro I also get one audio track with two audio channels in it. What am I doing wrong?
    I'm working on Mac and Prelude CC 2014 and Premiere Pro CC v8.1.
    Can somebody help me?

    Hi Sven,
    You are doing nothing wrong here. If you will expand the audio track in both Prelude and Premiere, you can see that both the audio channels are in place. Its just the difference in the way the channels are being represented in Prelude timeline and rought cut.
    Please let me know if you are loosing any of your audio channel.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

  • 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.

  • Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, audio channels change to 8 channels when clip dragged onto timeline.

    Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, when clip dragged onto timeline audio channels change to 8 channels. Audio track mixer changes too. I edit undo to remove dragged clip and it reverts back to 4 channels of audio on timeline as does the audio mixer?  Any ideas as to why the audio channels and mixer changes?

    you can check the clip you are dragging to the timeline, if it has 8 tracks... can check by right clicking it in the project bin, choose modify, audio channels.

  • Additional audio channels being imported with XML from FCP. Merged Clips. Out of Sync

    Problem
    When I import an XML Interchange Format V5 file from FCP7 and then import into Premiere Pro CC, my merged clips now have 4 audio channels. 2 from the original file and 2 from the merged audio.
    Versions
    FCP 7
    Premiere Pro CC 7.2
    Workflow
    * Create merged clips in FCP
         * ProRes Video clip with camera audio
         * Stereo audio clip
         * Sync in Timeline
         * Delete unneeded audio tracks, reducing track on video clip to 1 mono track, centered
         * Drag to browser
    * Export XML Interchange V5
    * Open Premiere
    * Import XML Interchange File
    * Clips are imported, HOWEVER
         * Clips now have 4 tracks of audio
         * Tracks 1-2 are audio from the original Video clip
         * Tracks 3-4 are audio from the synced second source audio file    
         * Additionally, tracks 1-2 are now OUT OF SYNC
    I cannot find a way around this. Clips now all have out of sync indicators on them. Merged audio is insync, and original audio is out of sync.
    I do not want to have to resync all of my audio, everything is tagged and organized into bins.
    Anybody know why this happens and a workaround?

    Ha ha, an excellently wry comparison.
    I'm using photo-jpeg because it was reccomended to me as a way to achieve greater image quality when exporting within the confines of youtube.

  • 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

  • Audio Channels in Timeline Keep Changing?

    I have some audio tracks, on those tracks I inserted a .wav file that has 4 channels.  I only need 2 channels. ( 1 and 2 )  I unlinked the audio and I am just using channels 1 and 2.
    Channel 2 on the timeline keeps defaulting to Channel 1 - I change it and then next time I open the p[roject the audio on channel 2 goes back to channel 1.
    I hope this makes sense.
    This picture is what it needs to be
    This picture below is what it changes to and I have to reset the channel.
    Below is info on the audio channel
    Im doing something wrong right?
    I hope not because I have already layed in and adjusted all my audio.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your help.  I haven't made a copy of the WAV.
    In the timeline, the 4 channels are linked together. Ch1 is a LAV Mic, Ch. 2 is a Seperate LAV mic, Ch. 4 is a boom mic and there is nothing on channel 3.
    So I unlinked the WAV file in the timeline and removed the audio channels that I did not need in the timeline.
    Then I moved the 2 LAV mics to Audio Channels 1 and 2 on the timeline.
    I think that is when I noticed that both Channels were the same... not sure - I have moved stuff around so many times.
    So in the timeline, I would "right mouse click" on the audio track in the timeline and modify the audio clip by clicking on audio channels.
    As a work around, I modified the LAV audio clips in the timeline to where they needed to be and did an audio mixdown of just my LAV mics.  Brought that file back into the timeline and muted the others that kept changing on me.
    Does that help?  Thanks again!

  • Importing tape with 2 audio channels recorded?

    Can iMovie 4 handle importing a mini DV tape that has 2 channels of audio. Can these 2 channels of audio be separated for editing??

    That depends on what you mean. iMovie imports in stereo (which is two channels), but those can't be separated.
    If you mean the extra audio channels that can be added using 12-bit audio in the camera, the answer is NO.
    NEVER use 12-bit audio:

  • I don't get second stereo channel when opening iMovie08 XMLfile in FC

    When open an XML file from iMovie08 for FC in FCE I only get one audio channel.
    The second (stereo) channel is missing.
    Examening the XMLfile it seems to generate only one audio channel.
    Has anyone tryed this?
    Is there a way to get both stereo channels in the iMovie sequence when opening in FCE?

    Does anyone have any other ideas as this is very frustrating.

  • While importing clip getting error "The file contains too many audio channels" in premiere pro cs5

    Regards
    Manoj

    I too am getting this error in Premiere CS5.  I was digitizing a Broadcast VHS and since I did not have a breakout box, I hooked it up to a Sony DV deck so I could connect via firewire and capture inside Premiere.  I was able to capture and import 1 of the 3 clips and it did have 4 audio channels attached to it.  However, upon closer inspection only 2 channels had a waveform.  I captured the other 2 clips the same way, but this time, Premiere give the error "The file contains too many audio channels." 
    Any ideas?

    The Powerbook gets the audio, the G5 does not. I don't get it. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello,
    Welcome to Apple discussions:)
    See if this apple document No Sound but System Alerts sounds play, helps any.
    If that doesn't do it try launching GarageBand if the G5 has that application.
