Removing audio tracks in b-roll footage

I have a bunch of B-roll video I'm using and I'm looking for a way to remove the audio. I know that I can do this in the timeline, but is there a way to do it in the browser; to turn them into video only clips?

You can make a new master clip without the audio, which involves the timeline, but might do you... If you place the b-roll on a timeline, remove the audio there, then drag the video from the timeline to the browser... ctrl-click on it and select 'make master clip' (or something like that... i'm sitting thru a render right now).

  • Removing audio tracks

    anyone know how to remove audio tracks when converting to apple tv format in visualhub (or ffmpeg)? i have two tracks in the input file, and would like to remove the first one.

    Try Handbrake instead - let's you select audio tarcks for conversion, and likely to be more up to date than VisualHub.

  • Is there an easy way to remove audio track from .mp4

    Guys
    Wondered if anybody knows of a way to take a .mp4 file with a silent audio track exported and remove that audio track altogether without having to reconvert the video in AME- just deleting the (silent) audio track
    Have lots of files that need this and was looking for a way to do this without going back and reexporting  all the clips the hard way
    Any thoughts much appreciated-- (I have access to both Windows 7 and WIndows XP pro 64 bit)
    Thanks
    Tony

    Thanks Jim
    I figured that would work but for some reason the resulting files did not play correctly--Alternatively I used Mpegstreamclip -opened the video I wanted to erase audio track from--- clicked on "edit--delete audio track" then clicked "save as" and this finally accomplished what I was trying to do--Now have a copy of the .mp4 file wo audio
    Thanks for all your help--Hope this thread helps someone in the future

  • Removing audio tracks from a clip

    Hi,
    I have a set of HD clips that were digitized with 8 tracks of audio. I only need the first two. Is there a way to eliminate these extra tracks BEFORE dropping them on the timeline. It's a great annoyance to have to either lock off audio layers to prevent these from going on my timeline, or having to link and unlink layers and remove them.. There has got to be a better way!!
    Any ideas??
    Thanks!

    Locate your clip in the Finder, on the Media drive. Duplicate your clip first...to make sure you don't mess anything up irreversibly.
    Open it in Quicktime. Go to the WINDOW menu and then SHOW MOVIE PROPERTIES. Notice how you have a Video track, and then 8 audio tracks, and the timecode track. Delete the audio tracks you don't want by highlighting them and pressing DELETE.
    Save the file. Import that into FCP to make sure it is done right.

  • Chapter markers lost after removing audio track

    I have a QT movie (of old home novies with no REAL audio) prepared for the AppleTV that was working fine with chapters. When I removed the audio track and saved the file there are no longer any chapters. When I view the 'properties' of the file I see 'something' above the video track that has the name of the file bit can not be enabled. Is there a way for me to get back the chapters or did I mess up? Thanks.

    Sorry,
    I was looking at the wrong line in the script. I am checking SPRM 7 for the Current segment of the title (Chapter Marker).
    Also I got lost in the nomenclature in your second paragraph. It looks really helpful but I didn't understand what you meant ("Non-sequential PGCs..."). How should I get the dvd to move from track 1 to track 2 and back if I don't set the Next Jump (aside from scripting it)?
    Also, where could I find the DVD Spec rules you've alluded to?
    Thanks
    Here is the script thats being run:
    01: mov GPRM 6, SPRM 7
    02: mov GRPM 7, SPRM 4
    03: sub GPRM 7, 1
    04: mul GRPM 7, 128
    05: add GRPM 7, 49280
    06: add GPRM 7, GPRM 6
    07: mov GPRM 6, SPRM 8
    08: Goto 13 if (GPRM 6 = 2048)
    09: sub GPRM 7, 1
    10: sub GPRM 7, 1 if (GPRM 7 = 49285)
    11: sub GPRM 7, 1 if (GPRM 7 = 49439)
    12: Jump Indirect GPRM 7
    13: mov GPRM 7, 49408 if (GPRM 7 = 49313)
    14: Jump Indirect GPRM 7
    It calculates the valud of the current Chapter in terms of the current track, determines whether the user wanted to repeat the chapter or continue to the next chapter, tests a few special repeat/continue points (jumping back multiple chapters or continuing to the next track) and the jumps to the calculated location.
    I realize that I could rewrite this and using a few prescripts and the other scripts in the project so that I don't have to calculate based of SPRM 7 but I'd rather not if it isn't necessary. It seems like the dvd player (stand alone) simply doesn't read the chapter markers. It always repeats to chapter 1 and continues to chapter 2 no matter what.

  • Audio tracks missing from footage

    I was working on a project in the trial version using some footage I shot, and after I switched over to the full version, the audio tracks had completely disappeared. Moreover, much of the footage is listed as 'media offline' in the project itself, but when I reinsert the footage in a new project, it works just fine (except for the audio).
    Please help!

     

  • Need to remove video clip and save audio track.

    We are trying to remove a segment of video clip and save the audio track that goes with it.    We intend to fill that open segment with transitions of still photos, all the while allowing the narrator, who has now been "clipped" to keep speaking.
    We are using CS3 Premier Pro.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated!   Thanks for your wisdom...

    Mary,
    I find that just Alt-clicking on the Video and hitting Delete to be the quickest method. That does exactly the same as Unlinking, with two keystrokes - Atl-click Video, Del key.
    Hope that helps,

  • Is there a way to show/reveal the piano roll (or score) from a midi input when recording an audio track in Logic 9?

    I'm trying to record audio tracks in Logic 9 over midi tracks I've created using a software instrument.  I've done this before, and there used to be a no problem in seeing the midi information in the piano roll or the score while recording audio tracks, but it now impossible to reveal.  Has ayone else exerienced this?  Was there a change (update) that eliminated that as an option?  Or did I do something in preferences somewhere (unbeknownst to me when doing it) that has caused this?  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Just open the piano roll fro the regions you want and deselect the chain icon at the upper left.

  • Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

    I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
    In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
    My System:
    WinXP Pro SP2
    2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
    Intel PERL mobo
    3GB 400MHz RAM
    NVidia 7800GS video
    I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
    related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
    etc) when using any CS3 app.
    The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
    footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
    Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
    Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
    on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
    Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
    footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
    Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
    with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
    fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.

    each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
    upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
    Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
    was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
    file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
    accurately, the audio track was a flat line.

    Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
    build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
    "planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
    Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
    which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
    deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
    display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
    was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
    identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
    jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
    doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player).

    Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
    Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
    The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
    Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.

  • How to sync audio tracks with RED footage that has no reference audio?

    So I shot a short film for my thesis project and the damn crew didn't record reference audio. We shot on a RED camera and had a sound guy with a shotgun mic. So we have crystal clear audio tracks from a separate sound card and tons of RED footage with abosolutely no sound.
    Lucky we did use a slate, so I know I have to go one by one and manually sync all the audio with the right video tracks. Though I am unsure how exactly to do it. Once synced, will I have to edit from the timeline? How can I reimport the synced footage into a new project so I can edit from my media bin?

  • Removing Dead Audio Tracks in Multiclip

    Question for FCP7.
    I'm working with a concert sequence that has a lot of problems. The footage wasn't shot properly so TC was a mess, but none the less, after a lot of work, one of our editors was able to craft a sequence with a number of multiclips representing two, sometimes three cameras.
    The trouble is, is looks like the sound was recorded onto different tracks for each camera. So a Stereo Mix on 1&2, the Lav on 3 but the boom on 5 for one camera, and the Stereo Mix on 1&2, Lav on 4 and the boom on 5 for the other. Sounds strange I know. So I've got 5 tracks of audio, with one dead track for each camera, but that dead source is on a different track for each camera in Final Cut.
    When I try to strip it out for one camera in a multiclip, it also cuts the same track, which is a good source, for the other camera when I switch back.
    This is hard to describe I know. Can you have an uneven amount of audio tracks in a multiclip? Can you cut one track from one source, and have it leave the tracks from the other intact?
    Thanks a bunch.

    It is possible (and pretty easy) to assign one audio track for the multiclip. I've found that if you want to use more than one track, it's easiest to mix in the other tracks after the cutting is completed.
    The FCP6 User Manual (the last with an index...) says this:
         To switch only the video of the active multiclip angle in the Viewer:
         1 Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.
         2 Choose View > Multiclip Active Tracks > Video.
         You can also choose this option from the Playhead Sync pop-up menu in the Viewer.
         3 Click an angle to make it active.
         A blue outline highlights the active video angle.
    which I find fairly unhelpful.
    I learned a "bass ackward" way of easily setting the audio track that works great once you understand it.
    1. Double-click a multiclip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.
    2. Select a angle that contains the audio track you want to use. There should be both green and blue borders on this clip when selected. (if not, choose Video + Audio from the Playhead Sync (center) drop-down button.)
    3. Using the Playhead Sync drop-down button (the center button above the angle array in Viewer), select Video and then cliuck on any other angle. At this point, there should be a green border on the angle you wish to use for audio and a blue border on the current video angle. From here on, as you cut the audio should stay on its angle while the video will be on whatever angle you have chosen.
    I refer to this as "reverse Polish notation", (no flames please")  a term that was used to describe the arithmetic system used on the H-P technical calculators.  In essence, you set the video to indicate where you don't want the audio to be...
    hope this helps

  • Interpred Footage doesn't resample add. audio tracks

    Hi,
    I've a serious issue with the "Interpred Footage" funktion in Premiere. If you use it with footage containing more than one audio track - all additional audio tracks arn't resampled after project is reloaded or sent to AME - resulting in out of sync audio.
    Has anyone similar problems or a workaround for this?

    Hi Jim,
    thanks... ;-)
    anyhow I think our usecase is typical and important:
    We use the "Interpred Footage" change framerate option regulary to conform mastered clips on the fly to different video standards.
    For example:
    A) We have a 24p 2K Digital Cinema Distribution Master DCDM
    Our client asks for:
    - 25p Press DVD PAL
    - 1080p25 EPK material
    so there is no time for complex conforming work in different applications... import into 25p sequence - insert Overlays - burn in TC - create stereo submix from 5.1 -  export as PAL wide....
    Or we get 23.976fps footage and have to conform it to 24p for Digital Cinema Package delivery...
    Therer are complex workflows and multiple export targets involved if you get 23.976 and have to deliver 24p and 25p for WEB, TV, Home Cinema & Cinema
    Only the "primary quality targets" getting a extra audio mix from the recording studio or HQ confroming via Izotope... If it's only for WEB or the subtiteling company - audio is streched on the fly...
    So - ok we have an extreme usecase - but every filmmaker could be asked for a 25p image reference for DVD subtiteling of his 24p cinema master...
    it's not only for slomo any more ;-)

  • Audio track removal

    Help! I've added an audio track to a movie and I want to remove it, but can't figure out how. The movie is straight from my camcorder with audio from the built in mic and is pretty much done. However, I dropped an iTunes song onto it to see if I could add some music to the intro frames and now the song i added plays through the recorded portion and that is not what I want. I really just want to remove the iTunes song altogether and I can't find it. I tried looking through the help menu and had no luck.
    Can someone help me on this?

    Left-click on the audio track to select it. You should see a yellow border around the audio track.
    Then either Edit/Delete Selection or right-click/delete selection.

  • When I import my footage, the audio track disappears!

    I have footage taken with my Canon vixia hfs11.  Footage looks great.  However, when I import the footage into Premeire Pro CS6, the audio track disappears.  I have used the Media Browser to import and import under file.  Nothing works.  The file is a MTS.  Please help!

    As Karsten Schlüter, says MPEG Streamclip is a great way to make sure the video is as compatible as possible. You can also try downloading to multimedia helpers like DivX (in the case of some Xvid/Divx MP4 formats). I have a Flip mino video camera that requires DivX to be installed to play them back. And once I installed it the videos would be editable in iMovie '11. Something to try.
