Removing Audio from clip

Ok, I just got FCE for X-mas and I am completely lost. I need to know how to remove the audio from the clip, and/or how to edit the audio seperately than the video.

Hi John.
There are many ways. Probably the simplest is to highlight the audio in the timeline and press the Delete key.
However, if you are new to FCE you will have an extremely steep learning curve ahead of you and I would forget about making a serious film for at least a month!
You should get a simple step by step instruction book.
I can thoroughly recommend Tom Wolsky's book - "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop".
It is very "user-friendly" and guides you easily through all the steps. You are told exactly what to do and why. It's the next best thing to having a tutor sitting alongside you.
Tom is also one of the main contributors to this forum, so is available should you have any problems.
Don't be put off by the FCE 2 name - it works for FCE HD just as well.
You can get it from Amazon. It is well worth the money and will save you from countless hours of frustration - which will almost certainly happen if you struggle on alone.
Ian.

  • Return removed audio from clips

    I added clips to the videotrack, removed the audio from it. How to return the audio back? Thx. Sorry for eng.

    Select clip and position playhead over clip, hit F for Match Frame.
    Source clip will open in Source Monitor.
    Now you can drag the audio or do an overwrite.

  • Remove Audio from Clip Problems

    Ok, I know how to do it. The only problem is, in between different clips in which the audio has removed, you might hear just a flash of the audio as it was on there. Not long, just a split second of a buzz or a tap or something in between clips.
    Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?

    Hi Bad Mac - do you have transitions between the clips? That sometimes creates the effect you describe. A suggested solution in that case is to extract the audio before applying the transition. Note that extraction does not 'remove' the audio - it merely copies it, and mutes the original. You could try raising then re-muting the audio to see if that does away with the 'blip'.
    Others may have better suggestions.

  • How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

    How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

    I can tell you a work around to get you going in the meantime, just may be time consuming if you have a lot of clips in the timeline.
    double click a clip missing audio
    press the go to in point and copy the timecode to notepad
    press the go to end point and copy timecode
    right click clip, and reveal in project
    double click the original in project
    paste in timecode and set in & out points again
    drag audio
    As I said not the quickest way, but it works, and won't actually take as long as you'd think, 30 secs or so per clip, i just hope you don't have over 100 clips without audio

  • How do I remove audio from an imported live clip?

    I feel like an idiot having to ask this because I'm sure the answer is right in front of me.
    I'm trying to make a music video that consists of some live footage over a previously recorded song. I'm also trying to match up the live footage with the sound clip but every time I put one of the live clips in, the live audio overwrites the audio clip I want to keep.
    How do I remove the audio from the live clips so that this does not happen?

    Unlink audio from video by deactivating the button in the right upper corner of the timeline (next to the snapping button). Then click on the audio part and delete it.

  • Remove audio from imported video

    Hi guys!
    Tried to search for this feature, but did not find anything on it.
    Is it possible to remove the audio from an imported video clip (FLV) in Captivate 5.5? I want to replace it with another recording.
    Thanks,
    Victor

    Hi,
    This is not possible inside Captivate tool. But you can achieve the same using 'Adobe Media Encoder' tool (AME) which gets installed as a part of Captivate installation.
    1. Launch AME and insert the FLV file
    2. Go to output format settings and look for "Export options"
    3. uncheck the "Audio" option
    4. Start the encoding process to get a newly encoded FLV file.
    You can use this in your Captivate projects and then add a new audio file as per your needs.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Mukul

  • Removing Audio From Video (Problem 2) !!!HELP!!!

    I have succesfully managed to remove audio and add new audio to an (avi) video. However, when I tried to do the same thing with an new (mpeg) video/ soundtrack. Logic did not allow me to extract audio from video or give me the option to de-select audio tracks when bouncing. So when I extract video with audio I get the old audio track plus the new audio combined. Is it do with the video format? can I convert video formats in logic? many thanks, Ben.

    open in quicktime, then click save as and save as a .mov file. This should work. Not sure why this is happening though. Let me know if this works...
    Please remember the helpful and solved problem....

  • Can't import audio from clip into Premiere Pro CC.

    I can export a clip, with audio, from Premiere Pro, but when I import it back into PP the audio track is missing.  I noticed that when I delete the .xmp file from the file folder the audio will import with the clip successfully.  Can someone please instruct me as to how I can edit the .xmp file so as to correct this problem?  Thanks.

    I export a clip using the "match sequence settings".
    Mmm, don't ever use that.  It's for people who don't know what they're doing, and often causes more problems that it solves.
    Better to know what you're doing and set up your export manually.  Try that, then report back what happens.

  • Use audio from clip in other parts of sequence

    I inserted some photos in my sequence but I do not have any audio playing while the pictures are rolling. I would like to use some of the audio portions of my other clips to put "below" the still pictures.
    How do I do this?
    Thank you,
    Ildiko

    There are three ways that I can think of at the moment to do this:
    1. Unpatch your video tracks so that the v1 button is not adjoined to the V1, then drag a clip from the viewer to the overwrite/insert selection on the canvas.
    2. Lock your video tracks (by hitting the lock button on the left), then drag a clip from the viewer to the canvas or timeline.
    3. Select just the audio from another clip already in the timeline by holding down Option and clicking it, then copy and paste it somewhere else.

  • Static in entire video after detaching audio from clips

    After exporting, I was having some audio/video sync issues with my 1 hour and 38 min movie.
    It was suggested that I detach the audio from the clips...so I tried it on my 6 minute preview with good success.  I exported the preview and the sync problem was fixed.
    So I started detaching the audio to fix the regular 1h 38m movie.  I got through most of the clips and then went back to play a certain section of the movie...and I noticed that now there is a bunch of static in the entire movie.
    How do I get rid of the static?
    This also has seemed to really slow the project down.  Anything I try to do on the project and iMovie just tanks.

    Thanks for your reply Geoff,
    I basically have a soundtrack 3.28 minutes long which I want to be the only noise thats playing throughout my interchanging video clips, so I would like to completley move the audio from the all of the indivdual video clips that I am adding in, I thought the 'detatch audio' button would be the one for this, but as I continuously play back bits of the movie to prefect editing I can still slightly hear the sound from the individual videos that I am adding?
    So frustrating, but Im sure thats its something real basic that I am missing.....

  • Detaching Audio from clip from the film library panel?

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to grab video only from the film library panel. I want to just pull video and not audio as I layout video only out onto my timeline and don't want to hasstle through detaching audio from each clip in the timeline. Does anyone know how to do this? I know Adobe Premier lets you do this but I'm fairly new to FCP and would like to know

    Unchecking the audio in the sequence so that source/left A1 isn't connected(not touching) to timeline/right A1 will ensure audio is not added to the the a1 track.
    In Premiere 5.5 if you unhighlight a1(source/left) and A1(timeline/right) no audio will be added to that track.
    If you unconnect A1 & A2 in the sequence  audio will never be added to timeline whether you drag a clip from a bin or insert/overwrite from the viewer window.

  • Why does Pro CC suddenly remove audio from all imported files regardless of format? Was working perfectly before.

    This problem happened overnight with no changes to settings, etc. I've tried importing every format available and the audio is removed from all. Thanks for any help...

    Okay, then I suspect it's a source patching issue. Make sure that an audio track is selected for source patching.
    You can learn more here: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Source patching and track targeting
    As to the audio waveform icon, or 'badge,' I'm guessing you have the Project panel in the icon view, in which case the audio badge indicates that the clip has linked audio. I should have been more specific and asked about the icon in the list view. That's where you should see the combo badge for a clip with video and audio.

  • No audio from clips

    I just downloaded the Trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and when I import a clip, i'm not getting any audio, not even anything showing up in the 'Audio Master Meter'
    I do get audio when I import a .mp3 file
    HELP pleeease, this is very irritating!

    Can you share the specs. of those Imported Clips, and especially the Audio CODEC inside?
    Now, there is a common reason for Audio to either not show up, or perhaps be truncated - failure to complete Conforming. This ARTICLE goes into more detail. As PrPro edits/plays back from the Conformed Audio files (CFA's), the Conforming process is very important.
    Good luck, and please let us know a bit more,

  • No audio from clips from camera

    I am using iMovie HD 6 and I have transferred my clips from cam corder. The problem I am having is that I am manually dragging video clips from my camera to iMovie and the clips go in except they have no audio. Any solutions to this problem would be great...

    What kind of camcorder are we talking about? I suspect this isn't a tape based MiniDV type camera, right? And instead you are importing from some sort of DVD, Flash, or hard drive based camera? If so are the videos in MPEG format when you add them to iMovie?
    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos they sometimes only get the video and no sound since iMovie (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.
    Here is an article explaining it when you try to convert video to iPod format...
    iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
    One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

  • No audio from clips importen to versjon 9.0.7

    Does anyone have an answer to why the audio is missing from AIC files imported to iMovie 11 9.0.7? After I upgraded to Mountain Lion and the latest version of iMovie, my repacked AVCHD files are missing audio. They sound perfectly good in QuickTime, but not in the editor.

    Hi Jenn,
    Thanks for the information on your 2 computers. At least iMovie works OK on the iMac running Snow Leopard with iMovie '11 (9.0.4).
    Trashing iMovie's preference file will often fix problems. In some circumstances the preference file can become corrupted.
    On your Mac Mini, go to your User (Home) folder Library/Preferences (not the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD). As you are on Lion (Mac OS X 10.7.4), unlike earlier versions the User Library folder is hidden (as it is on Mountain Lion). To access it, click on Go in the Finder menu bar, then press and hold down the Option key - the Library folder will appear in the drop down list, enabling you to access it.
    In the Library/Preferences folder, locate a file named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist". With iMovie closed, drag this file to the Desktop. When next opened, iMovie will create a fresh preference file with the default settings. If iMovie now runs OK (and audio is working), you can change the default settings in the menu item "IMovie>Preferences" if desired. Also, it's now safe to drag the old preference file to the Trash. Trashing the file will not harm your existing Events or Projects. This may not fix the audio problem but is worth a try.
    Sorry if this sounds obvious, but I guess you've checked that the volume hasn't been muted in the Event (use the Inspector to check). Can you hear audio when playing music through iTunes, or other audio generally? Or is it just isolated to iMovie?
    Another thing to try: In Finder, navigate to your imported Event in the folder Home (your User)/Movies/iMovie Events. You will see all the Event clips with the extension .mov - these will be in Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) format. Open a clip in QuickTime and check whether the audio can be heard. If so, clearly there is a problem with iMovie. At least this will tell us whether or not the audio is being imported properly and will help to narrow down the problem.
