Returning audio to associated clip on timeline

I have some video-only clips on my timeline and decided I now want the audio from the source clip to be on the timeline as well. Is there a way to bring back that audio without having to go back to my source clip, mark the same in/out points, and put the clip back on the timeline?
This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, but my main reason for asking is because I tried the Final Cut import feature. If I'm remembering this correctly, Final Cut clips have two associated audio files (mono left channel panned left, mono right channel panned right). In Premiere, you just have the one stereo clip.
Anyway, what I'd like to do is delete all the FCP-style audio from my imported timeline and replace it with the Premiere-style. Putting new clips on the timeline from my source clips does it the traditional Premiere way.
Thanks,
JB

Jack,
To your question about doing an assembly of Audio files in the Timeline, the answer is no - at least not directly. Would be nice and maybe some sort of Feature Request would be in order.
Two ways around this, sorta', would be to do the Audio work, before the Clip was cut. Obviously a large file into Audition. The second way is to Export Audio as one file, work on that, bring it into the Timeline and either Mute, or Delete the multiple Audio Clips from AT 1, or where ever.
As I usually do Audio last, the first way isn't great in my workflow, but I have done it, and then come back to tweak individual Audio Clips, when I mix the Audio and add Soundtrack. Number two is an additional Export/Import/Export, so is not perfect either.
Within PrP, one might get some benefit from Nesting, but I use Audition for all but the tiniest Audio corrections. PrP has some good Effects for Audio, just nothing like SoundBooth, or Audition. Depending on what one is doing, though, it might work. You can apply Audio Effects to a Nested Sequence, can't you? [Obviously, I have never tried it... ]

No audio from captured clips in Timeline

I captured footage onto my FCP. Video and audio played fine in the window that immediately comes up but after I saved it to my bin in my browser and then put it in the timeline I lost audio. The levels are moving and it says Av1 and Av2 in the logging area as well seeing the audio waves.
I disconnected the camera that I am using to capture the footage.
HELP!!! It seems like I have to press one simple button but I can't figure it out.

Audio popping between clips with timeline imported from final cut xml file

So i imported a final cut timeline that was synced with pluraleyes into adobe and between all the cuts there is an audible popping noise. I've tried using audio cross fade but it seems to make it worse. How can I fix this??

If anyone else has this problem - you fix it by making sure you pan the audio to the center, not left or right.

Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?

i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...

thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

Audio and video clip lengths differ in encore timeline

Hi
I have been working to build a BD-R H.263 ac3 disk. I used AME from within Premiere Pro to export the M4V and (at the same time) AC3, using the present defualt parameters-no tweaking of any setting. The clips appear to play great on encore's monitor--everything in sync.And on the burned BD-R
However, I am getting the black screen between clips in the timeline when played in the standalone BD player, or (when I had one clip to a timeline) in a playlist. a previous poster made note of different length audio and video clips. I zoomed on the timeline and lo and behold--the the audio and video clips are different lengths.
This is with the timeline fully expand--each division is a frame. Note that break between the two audio clips is offset from the break between the two video clips by two frames. This offset is after several clips. I could find no information on what the one frame crosshatching at the end of the leading clips means. Can anyone explain this cross hatching? What do I do about it? the image below is after the first clip in the timeline:
In this image, the offset is less than a full frame??????
I tried using the trim tools to bring these together-but, the trim tool only lets it jump a full frame and then only to a GOP boundary, which doesn't help because the boundaries are obviously different fro the video and audio track.
I want to emphasize that these assets were created from the Premiere CS4 timeline (which had no offset between audio and video) using the default H.263 and AC3 presets in AME and the same presets selected in Encore.
The offsets do not appear to cause the actual audio and video to go out of sync when I play the burned disk. But, I get the 1-2 second wait between menus and chapters, or with items in a playlist.
The audio offset suggests that the player may not know what to do when faced with a chapter point that is different on the audio and video tracks, although, I will note that encore snapped to the joints in the video track not the audio track.
You can see from this listing that several of the clips audio and video lengths that differ by one frame. By the end of the timeline, the cummulative offset is 3 seconds (48 minute timeline)
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks

I don't think that I had the same problem that you do, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents just in case it might help. Encore would not build the output; it said something like the inpoint and the length did not match the endpoint. Actually, I think this happened in several different situations. In one case I simply adjusted the audio and video tracks to match endpoints. In the other case I went back to Premier and found that in some cases where I had added transitions it had shifted the endpoints of the audio and video tracks so they did not match. I removed the transitions. It didn't matter that much to me since I'm doing this for personal use. Is it possible those crosshatched lines you're seeing are transitions?
I am using CS 3 and editing HD. I have had many problems with encore. I read in the form someplace that it had a hard time handling H.264 so I changed to MPEG-2 and that fixed one problem. In another case it couldn't find some files and I found some advice not to use HD or wide menus, so I switched to standard 4:3 menus and it worked.

Audio doesn't drag to timeline with clip

This is probably a really obvious answer to make me feel like a fool.
I am using Final Cut Studio 7, working on a project from FCS6
I am working on a project started by someone else. I've had no problems, apart from suddenly on one part, when I drag the video from the viewer to the sequence, the audio doesn't go with it.
When I play the clip in the viewer the audio is there and also in the tabs, I can see the audio - so not sure what's happening here. Any help muchly appreciated.

Are your audio channels in the time line turned on and able to accept audio?
Do they look like this? (look at the small grab of the audio portion up at the top)

If so, then you need to click those to allow audio to put on the timeline.

Relink audio to video clip pasted in timeline in FCP7?

Hi, I need to add the original synced audio back into a montage I made in FCP7. I originally made the montage by pasting video clips into the timeline without their corresponding audio - instead of simply pasting video and audio for each clip and muting the audio like I used to (somehow I thought this new way would be easier). Each clip in the montage was cut using in and out points on their respective source clips, but in some cases I've used those source clips for other sequences so the in and out points I'd used for the montage aren't all still saved. What is the easiest way to reinsert each clip's audio without manually cutting each in and out point again?
Sorry if this is a beginner's question! I hope I explained it well.
Thanks,
Adam

Park on the first frame of the clip. Press X to mark IN and OUT on that clip. Then press F to matchframe to the source. Then F10 to cut the clip, and it's audio...into the sequence.
If you map the audio tracks first, then it's very quick. X...F...F10. X...F...F10.

Audio will not play in timeline

After editing my transcoded canon c100 .mts files in FCPX, suddenly the audio stops playing in the timeline. Project preferences are on "stereo", source media is set to "all", not just video. Clips will play fine in browser. The audio has come back a few times on its own in the timeline and then disappears again yet the waveforms are always visible in the clips. Any ideas? Note, I have a damaged headphone jack, currently I'm only to get an audio signal from an external device (headphones, ext. speakers). I would doubt that has anything to do with this problem but who the **** knows.
Yosemite 10.10.2, MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
FCPX 10.1.4

I just realized what my problem was.
I apparently (by accident) clicked the little mute button
that appears in the timeline. Stupid.
Thanks,
PL

How can I use all tracks from multi-channel source audio with Multicam clips?

I cannot figure this out. Working in Premiere I'm prepping for a 2 camera show, with typically 4 to 6 track dual-system audio recorded by the sound guy. I can sync, and make multicam clips any number of ways–whether sync by timecode, sync by audio, or eyeballing–but whenever I edit using the MC clip, Premiere mixes down all the audio channels into a stereo single track, and I cannot pick and choose which audio track from the original to use. With 2-5 people mic'd on lavs, I need to be able to choose which audio is either cut in or heard at any given shot.
Is there any way to have control in multicam clips over which track of audio gets edited into the timeline, or even: that all tracks of audio get cut in? It's very important for the editors to be able to see waveform (which also disappears for some reason in the mixdown) and pick and choose which audio is heard?
I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it for workflow purposes for my assistant editors. We need to use multicam, but this audio thing is driving all of us crazy. None of us can figure out how to have a multicam clip and use it with control over what audio is cut in.

True, but what I need to be able to do is have my multicam sequence in the source monitor, and cut into my working sequence with either just the audio I need from the sound guy's multi-channel WAV, OR cut in all the sound and from then I can just enable or disable what I need or don't need. But also be able to match back to the Multicam source from my working sequence.
I don't want to have to open the synced sequence, and razor blade the things I need and have to copy and paste into my working sequence in order to have the full spectrum of my multi-channel mono lav WAV files...with their waveforms visible.
Essentially, I want my Multicam clips to load in the source monitor, and the ability to cut them into the working sequence without it mixing down the audio into a single track with no visible waveform–which is what it is doing currently. Can I choose to edit in either ALL of the tracks of the WAV file along with the camera shot I want, or control which audio gets cut in?

How do I use just the audio from a clip in imovie? No picture, no video, just audio!

I want to put the audio from a clip at the end of the video. No video, just black screen

It will require a bit of a workaround. But it can be done. If you enable Advanced Tools under the iMovie Preferences (Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences). Enable Advanced Tools by clicking the checkbox.
Now create a title with a black background by dragging at title to the end of the video on the Project timeline. Once the title is there, delete all the text on the title. Now drag that black background directly dead center onto the video clip just before the end where you want to 'blot out' the video and just have audio. When you release the mouse, you will be shown a pop-up menu with a bunch of different options including one titled cut-away. Choose this option. What will happen is the video will cut to the black video background you dragged on top of the video clip. You can set the duration by dragging the left and right edges out further to make it run longer. This black back ground effectively cover the video and will continue to play the audio of the underlying video clip.

IMovie audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !

iMovie 11 audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !
I have created a project where I have a montage of photos and video clips edited together with music under. Some audio portions of the video files are being muted in some areas and those portions are being heard in another part of the project. This is not for all video clips only certain ones.
The project plays fine in the timeline, but when I render the project thru iTunes or Media Browser, this is when the project goes corrupt.
I tried detaching the Audio from the video clips and this somewhat worked, but the original problem still exists with certain audio still being heard where it's not supposed to be.

I have a fix - or rather, a workaround.
WARNING: It is lengthy, but still far better than starting a new project from scratch.
I had this same issue and none of my transitions/clips were at custom speeds, nor did I have anything else weird going on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do within iMovie to fix this, at least there wasn't for me. iMovie is BY FAR the buggiest software I have ever used and if you haven't already spent hours slaving away on a project, you are so much better off using just about anything else to edit your video.
...But let's assume you have already spent many hours working on your project and you don't want to start all over. Well then, you have at least one option.
It's a pain in the neck, but it's infinitely better than restarting your project from scratch.
This will require:
A software called Soundflower (which is free) and some kind of audio editing software (I use Logic, but really any should work).
1.) You're going to need to export your video with the messed up audio. Typically if you're audio is messing up, you're video is at least usually working just fine (at least it always does for me).
2.) You're going to need to open that video in your audio software and import only the audio. If your software doesn't give you this option, then you're going to need to record the audio from your video using the audio software and Soundflower. You can find tutorials on how to do this, but it's honestly pretty straightforward once you start playing around with you Mac's audio I/O settings. Remember to have your computer's volume all the way up when doing this.
3.) Watch/listen to your video and make notes of where the audio errors occur. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND writing down times too, as they will be extremely helpful later.
4.) Now were going to rip some working audio from the iMovie project itself. Go back into your iMovie project and only play back audio while in the edit window for this step. Do NOT play your project back in full screen.
This part is key: if you try to play back your project from the beginning the audio will usually still mess up. So, what you're gonna have to do is go back on your edit window timeline right before these errors occur and play that specific clip back while recording this working audio with Soundflower and your audio software. Essentially we're only recording the parts of the audio where these errors occur, so try to do this in order if you can. Try to leave several seconds of audio in before the error - that way we can use it as reference when we construct our new audio track.
5.) Now in your audio software you should have your original error-filled audio track and the new clips that we just captured. This part can be painstaking if you're not familiar with audio editing softwares, but as you'll learn, it's really not that hard.
You're going to look at your original audio track and compare it to your new working audio clips. You should be able to notice where those new clips are supposed to go by looking at the identical (or close to identical) waveform shapes in your original audio track. The two should correspond with one another. If you don't understand what I mean right now, you will when you start playing around with the audio. This is why marking times is very important.
Take your new clips and split them up if you haven't already, that way you can drag them around and edit them separately from one another. Essentially your going to line these new clips up with original and then replace the original parts with new ones.
We need to get this as precise as possible, so start off by getting them as close as you can with your naked eye, and then use a zoom tool to zoom in as much as possible so that you can get them lined up PERFECTLY, or at least extremely close. In some softwares you can just drag these new clips on top of the old track, but most of the time you will need to actually cut out the old piece and replace it with the new one. In doing this, zoom in and make sure that you are NOT cutting out a bigger space than your new clip will fill - otherwise you will have small gaps in your audio.
VERY IMPORTANT: Also make sure that this new audio track starts at the EXACT SAME time as your original - otherwise your new audio will be out of sync.
I know this part can really suck if you're not used to audio editing, but at this point, there is little other choice.
6.) Once you are done with this, export your newly pieced together audio track.
7.) Now open iMovie and create a NEW project. Re-import the video that you exported earlier that has the messed up audio. This might take a while, so just be patient.
8.) Then right click the clip and select "Detach Audio". This will do just that - allowing you to edit the audio separately from the video. Now delete this audio.
9.) Now, import the new, perfect audio track that we just made and make sure that it starts at the start of the project. Make sure it's in sync and that everything works.
Now just export your new video with the working audio and you should be done. Since we have given iMovie the audio with no editing actually being done in iMovie, it does not have to generate its own audio now and you should have absolutely no errors now - unless there is some that you forgot to take out earlier.
YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!
I know this entire process *****, but if you're that far into your project, there is little else that you can do. Now you've learned your lesson:
DON'T USE IMOVIE EVER AGAIN.
I hope this helped!

Audio dropout one clip only

I created a movie in iMovie 6.0.3 (project size approx. 3GB) and shared it with iDVD to burn a DVD. Very little extra added in iDVD for Theme, etc. so it should have been well within size limits of standard DVD-R. (I have successfully burned DVDs in iDVD for similar projects with the same brand of DVD-R media previously with no problems). The movie played with no audio loss in iMovie and on the iDVD preview.
I do have music running under the clips, and the only difference on the clip with audio loss on the DVD is that I had to extract the audio from the clip in iMovie to make an edit work.
On that clip of the movie when viewed in iMovie's timeline view I have my video visible on the top line with my extracted audio (from the video clip)on the middle line and my music on the bottom line.
When I burned the DVD and tried to play it back on my TV the audio was fine until the last clip of the movie -- where there was no sound at all. I tried importing from the Media pane in iDVD rather than sharing from iMovie with the same bad result after burning the DVD.
I have checked the forum, and while there are many similar issues no one seemed to have this exact problem. I did print out the linked article re: Updating iDVD to 6.0.1( I currently have version 6.0.3) and deleting encoded assets (I had plenty of space available on my hard drive) -- it didn't seem to apply to my problem, if I'm understanding those two issues.
I will try the Disk Utility fix, but I'm trying to make a deadline and have never created a DVD that way before.
Any ideas how to burn the DVD -- preferably with the iDVD theme and button menu if possible, but most importantly with the least loss of video and sound quality.

Thank you for the helpful response. I was able to deliver the DVD on time with a workaround.
Once that was done, I tried playing the DVDs I created originally on my friend's DVD player and they played perfectly!!!
Any suggestions out there -- other than I need a new DVD player
is there any way to confirm a DVD burned in iDVD will play on the majority of DVD players before I send it out as a finished project?

How do I extract audio from a clip?

I've tried to select a clip in the timeline then go to clip/audio optins but audio extract is always grey... I'm trying to pan audio into the next clip.

No need to extract it to apply fx or mix / pan it.
I f you want audio only from a clip ...you can drag clip to Source Monitor and then Drag Audio Only from there to Timeline / sequence

Syncing Audio and Video but wish for the Audio not to move on timeline?

Has anyone worked out how to sync audio and video within Premiere Pro but have the Audio stay fixed on the timeline and the video move? Every way I try it Premiere Pro insists on moving the audio. Locking the track does not work as you cannot select the audio within it to Sync with.
I have a music video shoot with 14 camera angles used on the lead singer (don't ask me why). Multi-camera editing is not an option as there are too many sources for my brand new MacbookPro to handle. I think I would need the computer from Superman II to edit that many clips together.
What I am doing is syncing the first clip, the one Im going to use as the baseline fall back shot and then I need to sync other clips onto the timeline. However Premiere Pro insists on moving the audio to fit with the video not visa-versa.
Any help would be appreciated.

@slitchfield: on the mentioned page, it is stated that "Improvements in screen real estate, with slimmer top status bar and optional (in some apps) bottom toolbar, meaning that all phones will have a larger useful display area."
But on the E6 the bottom toolbar decreases available screen size in most apps, most noticeable in Web browser where the full view has gone. The bottom toolbar is not optional, you can't configure it yourself.
And: "Homescreen widgets will now come in up to five different sizes (1x1, 2x1, 4x1, 2x2, 4x4) and allow a greater degree of interactivity.", but on the E6 they are in only one size, always with large borders and other visual effects.
So beware of differences between phones, perhaps some aspects of Belle work differently depending on the type of device.
"Notes now brings up a white (and AMOLED-unfriendly...) editing screen.": that you can change by switching themes, "Dark Solid for Anna" does a good job. It is a shame that the lines of Notes have gone though.
When switching themes, I found you have to restart the phone, otherwise the theme doesn't get properly loaded in all apps. Stopping/starting apps is not enough. So when experimenting and loading one theme after another, you may end up with disfunctional combinations of black-on-black and white-on-white, but it may not be due to the last theme. Also you may end up with a good combination that isn't around anymore the next time you restart your phone.

Drag clips to timeline 1 in PRE7

I simply want to have some clips on time line 1. But when I drag the file from my folder to the timeline it always appears on the most upper one. Also an improvement I missed in version 4? I found no threads on this issue, so it should be a minor item I guess.
And can I disable the organiser function or at least delete the clips from that area? Al my clips are intended to die in the bin... (So no reason to use this functionality)
Rob

What project preset are you using???? If you are using an AVCHD DD 5.1 audio project the first 3 timelines are reserved for DD 5.1 audio. If you drag a clip with stereo audio to the timeline it will be placed on video/audio track 4. Alternatively, the opposite, if you are using a non DD 5.1 audio project preset and you use a DD 5.1 audio clip it will be placed on the upper most track. So basically you need to pick the correct project preset for the clips that you are using.
I am not sure if you can turn off the Organizer functionality but you can delete the clips from the Organizer and it will not effect your project.
