Replace sound track on raw video?

I'm editing the video that my church takes every Sunday at service. We record the sound on my MacBook using GarageBand. Unfortunately, there is no microphone input on the camera, so I can't get the mixed sound coming out of the sound board into the camera directly.
What I've been doing is muting the sound on the raw video & then taking the GarageBand audio to voice over the video. It works but it's a pain because if I have to cut anything out of the service, I have to make the same edit in the GarageBand audio. Then I have to get everything resynched so the video doesn't look like a Godzilla movie.
Is there any easy way I can take the raw video & replace the sound track on that with the GarageBand audio, so all I'll have to do is cut the video where necessary? I'm not hopeful that the answer is "Yes", but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks
Tony

You could add the GB audio track. Then SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME in Apple Intermediate Codec.
Then import the AIC file to imovie. You could then edit this as you describe.

Finished with STP sound track, now what (video from iMovie)?

I shot a wedding and am making a video from the footage for the happy couple. I used STP instead of iMovie's audio capabilities because iMovie is too limited. Unfortunately I don't have Final Cut...I understand STP and FC are designed to work hand in hand.
At any rate, when I was done editing in iMovie, I exported it a file and imported that file into STP. The only audio from the iMovie export is directly from the video cameras being used. Now that I have my final mix in STP, I want to find out if there's a way to replace the audio from the iMovie export with the audio from the STP mix. I don't see that STP has a way to export both audio and video together.
The only workaround I can think of is going back into iMovie, muting all the audio and dropping the mix from STP in its place. That's fine, but I'll have to go thru the entire iMovie export again, and that takes about 4 hours. I'd rather just swap the audio portion of the exported video.
Thanks!

well you actually know what to do in a way that's "proper." What you're looking for is a work around. You can also see the difference between pro versus consumer in applications. Now I'm going to assume that you exported as a MOV file out of iMovie. Forgive me but I've never done anything in iMovie. If you you can open the MOV in Quicktime, change the audio tracks to the new ones and then save what you have. If you had a decent DVD authoring package you'd simply export out of STP as an AC3 file and import that as the DVD audio track and the video as an M2V track, or even a MOV with no audio. The separate audio and video tracks are married in the DVD.
Hope that helps.

Can I import and play just the sound track from a video?

I downloaded some video clips with sound and imported them as QT videos into i-tunes - no problem. But how can I now play just the sound track and import it into a music playlist so I can play it on my Ipod in the car? (Or if I put the video on my Ipod - it's a sound only one, not a video one - will it just play the sound track?)
Thanks

Without knowing anything about the nature of the video files you're talking about, all I can say is that if they contain audio, you can extract it. The process may not be lossless, unless you extract the audio and convert it to Apple Lossless, WAV or AIFF. If your iPod is an older one, you may be limited in the formats you can play.
For a simple way to extract the audio only, you can use the Streaming/Exporting Wizard in VLC. You can also, depending on the format of the source movie, export audio with Toast or even iMovie to formats compatible with iPods.

Randomly a sound track to a video has no audio or just parts of it.

Working on a video for Youtube last night and all ok, today some audio tracks have no sound, other parts just have sections missing. The meter shows no sound. If I play the video in media player the sound is ok. Checked my audio setting and all seem ok.

Nudging sound track and/or video track

I shot a band in a recording studio. Their output was messed up.
I have the audio which was recorded separate from the video. How would I nudge the audio track on the timeline to eventually line it up with the video?
thanks in advance

You can move clips by frames on timeline by using the keyboard.
First select the clip you want to move, then hold down the option key and press either the left or right arrows.

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

I can't export my video which contains only photos, sound tracks nor play it in fullscreen iMovie it shuts down. And now my whole file won't open at all it'll open with nothing inside ??

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

Creating (sharing) a video with a sound-track as .wmv file, no sound track. Any ideas?

I'm a new user, and I have imported a video file (created by PowerPoint, and a sound-track (created by Cubase software from Steinberg.
When I view the video within Premiere Elements it's all there - video and audio both. However, when I try to create an external .wmv file (Publish+Share), I don't get any audio.
Set up is Windows PC running Windows XP SP3, with 4 GB of RAM, and 500 GByte hard drive. Premiere Elements version is 11.0
What I'm doing:
I imported the input video file and dropped it on the main Video1 timeline. Then I dropped the finished sound-track on Audio 1. When I click Play, I hear the sound-track and see the video. To Publish+Share, I select Computer from the drop-down menu. Then, in the location and settings list I select Windows Media.I choose 720*480 pixels, 4:3 aspect ration and 29.97 frames per second. In the Advanced.. panel, I make certain that Export Video and Export Audio are both checked. Ther dialog box reports that it will create a 174 MByte file, with 440 kbps/ 96 kHz audio in a 2-channel configuration.
So I click Save, and the program hems and haws for about 34 minutes, and says it's done. All I get is the video - in a 16.414 MByte file (the original input file, also .wmv was only 9.1 MBytes), so something must have happened. However, all I get is video, and no sound-track.
I'm totally convinced that the problem lies between my ears, but I'd like to hear someone provide some guidance. I've missed the deadline for an important project, and I don't want to slip any further :-(

Let us back track through the details.
Premiere Elements 11 on Windows XP 32 bit.
What are the video compression and file extension of the file created in PowerPoint? What version PowerPoint? What is the frame size and frame rate?
What are the audio compression and file extension (mp3 or .wav) of the audio created with this Cubase software? Are you dealing with mono, stereo, or 5.1 channel?
From your description, it sounds like you are letting version 11 set the project preset for you. What is it setting? We can find that out from the reading under Edit Menu/Project Settings/General - Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio, even if the fields appear to be grayed out.
If you import your .wmv export back into the Premiere Elements project, do you see content in both the video and audio tracks? If so, do both play back when you press the play button of the Edit area monitor?
Have you checked Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and ASIO and have you checked out your audio in the Edit area with the Audio Meter opened to verify sound level? See Window Menu/Audio Meters.
Is the problem confined to this PowerPoint video and Cubase audio? What happens if you try this with a video from your camera and soundtrack from one of the SmartSound soundtracks?
Please review the above and then let us know the answers to the questions.
Thank you.

Slow video playback with 2 sound tracks

Hi,
I've just been playing around with quicktime files with 2 sound tracks with different languages. When I copy these files to the ipod they playback, but in slow motion. Are there any guidelines for making ipod compatible 2 sound track files?
I know there are movies in the itunes store with two sound tracks with different languages and these are supposed to work OK with the ipod nano.
Any experiences? Thanks,
Robintosh

What software are you using to convert the videos to iPod format?
If you are using Quicktime Pro, or iTunes 6 to do the conversion... then that is most likely where your problem lies.
Your source video file is probably muxed.
Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Try MPEG Streamclip.

Disappearing Sound Track on Video Files Downloaded on CS4

Dear friends on the forum;
I have a Sony PD 150 camcorder. I took several videos on it which I subsequently downloaded to my PC (using Windows XP, Home Edition). I recall trying to increase the sound volumne on a couple of them, without a lot of success. Anyway, when I went to check these files today I found that the sound track was non-existent!
Can anyone shed light as to why this happened, how I can prevent it happening in future and if I can somehow retrieve the missing sound track?
Many thanks!
Lewis

I tried making the media off-line then re-linking it to the video file on my hard drive but no luck, Hunt. My audio is indeed flatlline; no sound both in the source and on the timeline. Is there any hope, do you think or should I just chalk this one up to experience and be careful not to do any copy/pasting. I consider this a serious flaw in Adobe.
Thanks for your kind input!

What was supposed to have (hopefully) happened?
You should have gotten the Link Media dialog to fix your Audio.
Now, Copy/Paste has been known to "loose" the Audio. It does not always happen, and sometimes it seems to work for a bit, and then the Audio goes flatline. Re-Linking the Media usually works fine.
Is your Audio "flatline?" When you Dbl-click on it, does it open in the Source Monitor with a Waveform? Does it play OK in the Source Monitor and not the Timeline, or both?
Good luck,

Supplementing video sound track

I want to record our band from the main mixing desk during our live show so I have a better quality sound track than what's on the video cameras recording it. What is the easiest set up to get there? I have made several recordings in Logic Pro using my M-Audio Profire interface with no problems (audio, midi and stereo inputs etc.) I will want to sync up the sound with the video later in Final Cut Express but I have not used Sound Track Pro yet. Should I just take a stereo feed out of the desk to a new track in Logic Pro and let it run? Anyone have suggestions?

well,i would advice you to take a multitrack reacording by having all the instruments outs from the console outputs into your interface ,incase you want to make a mixdown later with atmosphere of the show it self ,and at the same time take main output from the mixer to your interface as well ,so u have both !:)and let logic do the rest of the job! also u can use a midi time code out from your interface to your light mixer in case you have a lioght show to be in sync with your music show...cheers.!

My video is crap but I love the sound. Can I save the sound track of a movie as an mp3?

My video is crap but I love the sound. How Can I save the sound track of a movie as an mp3?

Yes, you can do this.
In iMovie, use SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME...
In the dialog box, choose "Sound to AIFF".
This will create a sound only version of your movie in the AIFF codec.
You can drag this AIFF file into iTunes and convert it to AAC or MP3.
In iTunes, go to iTunes/Preferences. In the General Tab, click the Import Settings button. Remember how it is currently set, (because you may want to change it back.) Choose IMPORT USING: MP3 Encoder.
Now, right-click on the music track in iTunes and select "Create MP3 Version".

How to move sound track with video to another drive

If I want to work on a project on another Mac, I copy the iMovie Events and Projects folders to a portable drive, then drag them into the correct folders of the other Mac. (Not sure if this is the best way, but it works.) But the sound track is missing if I don't have the same songs in that Mac's iTunes. What's the best way to keep the song with the project when I transfer to another Mac?

I tried the Consolidate command, and I see how it works, copying the events or clips to another >drive. But how does the music track get transferred? I don't see it in the copied folder.
If you followed the instructions, the music track is there. It is probably in the Project file. If you right click on the RCPROJECT file, select "Show Package Contents" and see if you can spot it.
If I consolidate from one computer to a portable drive, what happens when I plug the portable >drive into another computer? Does iMovie just see the project and events on the external drive? Or >do I have to drag them to the new computer's drive? What about the music tracks? Do I have to >import them into the other computer's iTunes?
Yes, iMovie sees the external drive, and you can work on your movie. If you prefer, you could drag the RCPROJECT file to the Movies/iMovie Events Folder and then run the Consolidate command again to move everything to the new computer, but you really don't need to. It should work fine on the external drive.
The external drive must be formatted as Mac OX Extended (journaled)

How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

In PE11, How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

RLHeflin
Thanks for getting your details posted. Good job.
You further explained
I am simply wanting to “overlay” a new visual element without disturbing the underlying audio.
A classical way to do a Premiere Elements Overlay is to hold down the Ctrl key of the computer main keyboard and drag the new clip over the area of the one you want to replace on the Timeline. That should not do anything but replace one portion of the video on the Timeline. No change in duration video or audio track if you are dealing with video linked to audio.
If you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, I am envising a scenario where you want to add to (not replace) some Timeline content.
A just in case note, if you have video on Video 1 and 2 and the video in 2 does not have transparent areas in it, then all you will see is the Video 2 content. I believe that Hunt eluded to that concept as a possible technique for what you might be doing.
Another just in case, if you have not seen the following Adobe documentation on arranging clips, you might be interested in the following link
