Remove video, and keep audio track.

Is it possible to delete video, yet keep the sound, in order to add voice over

Yes.  If you detach the audio from a clip you can move the resulting (purple) audio track somewhere else in the timeline and then delete the clip it originated from.  (You have to make sure the detached audio is not still attached to the original clip else it will be deleted too).

  • RE: Deleting video and keeping audio

    Decided to use just the audio from my clip w/cutaways and stock pics and want to know if I can just to reduce file size etc. Thanks.

    SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME using an audio-only codec like AIFF. AIFF can be editing in GarageBand and used in iMovie as an audio track.

  • 90 minutes of video and 6 audio tracks is too much?

    I have all 6 tracks of a 5.1 setup, but it will only allow me to listen to the left right channels and nothing else, either in the mix or by itself, even though the meters are showing me activity on all six channels and show the tracks as active. Any ideas, I dont really need to hear it as a surround mix, I know FCP doesnt support this, but I would like to hear the components individually just to make sure the assets sound okay for encodijng in DVDSP,
    I tried bouncing to STP but I get the same resultsm except STP actually tells me it cant play me all the tracks and its dropping pn playback due to lack of disk space or something like that.
    It seems strange that with a dual 1.8 G5 3 gig of ram and 150 system and 250 Gig scratch drives I should have more than enough space for playback to be possible. Is there anything I can do or that I'm not doing?

    check your Audio Output assignments ... for each audio track, right click in the track control area of the timeline (between the track lock and auto select button seems easiest to me)
    hope it helps

  • Can overlay photos on video stream and keep audio track on?

    I want to lay photos over top of a video stream.
    i have a speech recorded and want to put pictures up that relate to the subject matter, but I don't want to interrupt the audio. you should still hear the speech as the photo pops up and goes away.
    how can i do this?
    i've tried imovie and garageband video podcast but have no luck

    Hi Baratunde Thurston - do I read you correctly? You have a video of a speech, over which, in places, you want to superimpose pictures, without disturbing the audio flow?
    Question - can you get the video into iMovie? In other words, what was the source of the speech video? If from a DV video camera, then iMovie will indeed do what you want.
    It is called a 'Paste-Over at Playhead' (see iMovie's 'Advanced' menu). You copy the pic you want with the required duration, position the playhead, and hit the 'Paste-Over....' instruction.
    It is described in the iMovie 'Help' menu.
    If the above does not fit your problem, then post back:-)

  • How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11

    How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11?

    I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with  Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

  • How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

    I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
    I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
    This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.
    thanks, ralph

    Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
    I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!

    Hi Ralph:
    You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
    them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
    and split it after you split the video and be sure to
    keep the playhead in the same position.

  • New Media Encoder Error: video and/or audio filters are missing...

    My colleague reported this error popup window while using Adobe Media Encoder CC (up-to-date):
    "video and/or audio filters are missing and the rendered output may not match the original"
    I've been seeing similar errors the past few days. I can't remember if the wording was the same in the errors I saw, but the circumstances were the same.
    I've never seen this popup error before the most recent CC update.
    Some background info:
    I queued up multiple Premiere Pro pproj files as usual from within Premiere
    without rebooting or deleting any cache or temp files or anything, I start the queue
    I have no special plugins installed in Premiere. Vanilla CC install.
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    This error doesn't tell me what audio/video filter(s) are missing. The output files, once I dismiss this warning, are perfect.
    The major problem: It stops the queue dead in it's tracks. Sure, it might seem handy to stop and give you a warning, but when it's a false report and there's nothing wrong, it's killing us, because we queue up multiple files for encoding overnight, and we're not here to get the popups.
    What is likely causing this? Is it a bug that this is appearing so frequently? Has anyone else experienced this besides my colleague and I?
    Thanks!

    Update for anyone experiencing this issue:
    We are still investigating the cause of the issue and would really like your help tracking it down. If you run in to it I would be happy to jump on the phone with you and preferably do a screenshare as well. If you want to run some tests for me, this is what may help us track it down:
    0. Please make sure you are updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro and AME, which at this time are Premiere Pro 7.2.1 and AME 7.2.
    1. Simplify the project. Create a copy of the project and eliminate anything in the project that isn't related to the sequence(s) you are exporting. Then run the encode again. If it still occurs, move to the next step. If it doesn't occur any more, repeat step one and only remove half of the unused items (sorry, this is giong to be a manual process). Rinse, repeat.
    2. Open your sequence in Premiere and press Cmd/Ctrl + A to select all clips in your sequence. Right click and select Remove All Effects. Export again. No repro? Go to step 4. If it still repros, go to step 4.
    3. Make all the media offline. Export again. No repro? Go to step 4. Repro? Go to step 5.
    4. Send me a message with as much detail as possible. Even better would be if you could provide me a copy of your project file.
    Your help in tracking this issue down is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Re post: Editing-- Insert video and move audio, preserving sync

    Forgive me, a newbie, for posting this twice, but I think the iM6 group folks, not the iM8 folks, may have the a clue about this issue.
    I really love iM6. I do have FCExp, but I've gotten so comfortable with iM6 that I hate to change. But I am frustrated by one thing.
    I may be trying to do something too advanced for iMovie (6HD) but almost everything else with this product is so amazing, I can't imagine that they didn't build this in. I must be overlooking something.
    I am making dvds from a VHS conversion of some 60-70s 8mm home movies. A labor of love for an aging parent. The amateur filmmaker used to project them with records playing, and at some point he collected all his chosen LP music onto a cassette (not on the video cassette, a music only cassette). So, I play the VHS and the music at the same time and use an analog to Firewire converter and load all into iM6. So far so good. Then, because I need to seriously mess with the music to put it more or less in sync with the video segments, I extract the audio so it now shows up as a second track. Still no problem. Now in editing I clip or split the audio into separate pieces and checkerboard them, alternating between the two audio tracks in the timeline so I can adjust volumes, cross fade, etc.
    The first volume I did took a lot of twiddling and tweaking to keep all the clips in their proper places. I'd work at the end of the piece, then at the beginning then back to the end with the result that the audio clips were always sliding out of position. I can't quite figure out how to keep two audio tracks in sync with the video. BUT I did finally finish and when I started the next one, I swore that I'd always finish a segment and then move on to the next, always left to right, never tweaking the finished stuff to the left (earlier on the time line). This has made the job much easier but I have one big problem now. I did not think to put some black at the head of the project to put the titles on!
    You'd think I could just put the cursor at 0:00 and insert a 6 second title over black and it would move all the video and audio to the right by six seconds. But what happens is only the video slides over. The two audio tracks don't move and are now six seconds early. Sure, I could go ahead and re-adjust all the 30 or 40 audio clips, but I can't help thinking that "Apple wouldn't make me do this..."
    Has anyone any idea how to lock all the edited material together so I could insert some space to the left without losing sync?
    PS does anyone share my frustration on THIS: when I copy a little piece of sound from one of those tracks and then paste the copy, there's no telling where it will land... It never goes to the cursor position. If I'm lucky it lands somewhere on the timeline after the project end and I can drag it back to where I want it. But on an hour project this is annoying.

    I think I solved my own problem, and Klaus, you were correct, Lock to Play head is the key.
    In order to select ALL the clips on both tracks you click and drag a box across all the clips you want to lock and then select Advanced/Lock Audio Clip at Playhead and all the clips will be locked to their video positions, though in my case only a few of them sprouted little yellow pushpins. I was then able to slug 6 seconds of Black in ahead of my video, and voila!, both video and attached audio moved over staying in sync. I knew Apple wouldn't let me down, though the answer was not explicit in any Apple documentation. I guess I'd better buy the book now.

  • 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!

  • Want to remove quicktime and keep Itunes

    Hi all -
    Quicktime on Windows is one the worst pieces of software I have ever experienced. I just want it removed from my pc, but the problem is that I like Itunes, and Itunes requires Quicktime to run. Is there a way around this?
    I have to remove Quicktime because it somehow keeps hijacking my file associations and it breaks flash (read: youtube) every time it does this. After editing Quicktime Preferences this fixes it, but for some reason Quicktime grabs the associations again after every Apple update, which is annoying as ****. Is there any way to remove it and keep Itunes working??
    Message was edited by: MikeDeezy

    iTunes needs Quicktime to run. The earliest version of Quicktime that the latest version of iTunes will work with is 7.1.6. I'm currently using Quicktime 7.3.1. I can't watch some videos from the iTunes store, but music plays fine which is all I need. Using 7.3.1 also means some vulnerabilities won't be patched. I don't go to sketchy Web sites, and I always use a regular user account for daily computing instead of an Administrator account.

  • Why video with two audio tracks imports like one track (main)?

    Ok, lets face one simple thing that is incredibly stupid in Premiere CC:
    - I make video with two audio tracks (screencast with system sounds and microphone, separated)
    - Import it to Premiere CC and see only one audio track, system sounds!
    - What should I do to see both of them?
    - Why Sony Vegas don't make me to go to support forums and make them both visible without extra actoins?

    Great first post!

    Channel Map the Audio to do what you want it to do with t e source clip.

    You could have read the Premiere Manual or watched the Adobe TV Tutorials or gone to edit school  instead ...

  • Pick only video and not audio to edit in timeline

    How can I only move the video and not audio to the timeline when I pick a clip I want?
    Everytime I drag it to the timeline it brings the audio and video and I have to unlink it and then delete the audio.

    Disconnect the audio in the patch panel at the left end of the Timeline window. Click the a1 and a2 source tabs to disconnect them from their destination tracks (A1 and A2 by default).

    http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bay/8128/WMV3Server-0.4.zip

    Update: By playing around with the settings in the Default Applications preference pane (a free download) I somehow got the files to open automatically in QuickTime Player (with Flip4Mac WMV 2.0.1 installed) and they now play (instead of showing white video as they had previously. Unfortunately, I don't recall what I changed.

  • Saved project only produces video and no audio

    I created a simple project with ony one AVI file.  I applied a single effect -- rotating the video from the portrait mode in which it was shot to landscape mode.  When I play the project in Premiere Elements v. 9 there is audio as well as video.  But when I export the project to an MPG or AVI file there is only video and no audio.  What could be the problem?

    >should not require its users to dig into the esoterica of codecs
    Just as soon as you convince every camera vendor in the world to create video that uses only one codec, at only one set of parameters, you will be able to use software that works exactly the same for all files
    Until then... you really do need to know what you have so you may tell the software what to do with what you have
    You can't shove a slice of bread into a DVD player, and you can't put a DVD in a toaster (unless you want a mess in either case)
    >Multiplexing was already set for DVD
    In that case, you are getting exactly what you requested... a video file with no audio, and a separate audio file
