Same video, different audio?

2.83 quad core, 8gb RAM, 4850 series video card, CS4.
Working on a DVD of my feature, and I'm putting together the special features. I imported the video of my feature, which comes in at about 5.9GB. I have two audio files: one is the soundtrack to the film, the other is the audio commentary track. I had no problem setting up the feature. Made a timeline, added the video and audio, and was fine.
Now working in the Special Features menu, want to put together the audio commentary. So naturally, I thought the way to do this is to create a new timeline, put the video in, and put the audio commentary track in rather than the regular soundtrack. Checked the "build" tab and I'm somewhere in the 11GB range, far more than the standard dual layer dvd capacity. Have I done something wrong? Is there a better way to do this? Or am I really going to need to compress the feature's video that far down as to allow for space? Thanks for any and all help.

Many thanks! I think my problem was that I was trying to reassign the audio using the override option, rather that going directly into the assigned video and telling it to use a different audio. Either way, works like a charm. I appreciate it!

Multiple use of the same video time line for different audio tracks

I have a 90 minute video timeline
I will be putting different audio tracks in multiple languages.
But as i was just editing i wondered if i could use only a segment (30 minutes ) of the timeline
along with a 30 minute audio.
Example:
So the first thing on the menu will be the whole 90 minute video
with a 90 minute music track
Second thing might be the 90 minute video with a 90 minute commentary
Third thing might be the first 30 minutes of video with a different commentary
Forth thing on the menu might be the first 30 minutes of video and 30 minutes of
a different language
Etc.
I realize i will need to make space (mb) for all the audio.....but if i could use the same video or pieces of it
that would be fantastic.
If i can do this i am presuming i should use playlists and chapter playlists to get it done?
I have never done this before and would love some feedback on an over view or tips
that might save me some guess work
Thanks for any help :-)

Hey Stan!
Thanks for your help...i think i am really getting this. And have learned a lot.
I had to go back to my computer programming and flowcharting skills to figure out the flow :-)
And i still have 153mb to spare when i build it.
I ended up lining up all the different videos and audios exactly for each time line except for 1 timeline.
Question: I know if the audio is shorter it will be ok.... but if the audio is longer than the video on a timeline ( and its the audio i assigned it by specify link )
Will the DVD keep playing until the audio is done or end when the video is done playing?
2nd Question: I am previewing the playlists with the "Preview from Here" feature
I specify the link and chapter within that timeline ( it is the only timeline with more than one chaper....the one with the longer audio than video from the question above )
For most of the audios i only need video chapter 1.....the preview here plays it ok but if i hit the skip to next (in the preview button on theright of the play button)...it goes to the next chapter #2... instead of the next timeline chapter 1 like it is programed to do from the playlist.
I am wondering if this is just fluke in the preview feature...or will it do that on the actual DVD as well?
Lastly because i am using different timelines. I am wondering if there are delays between playlists? for example...i have a long audio that continues between three timelines...i have spliced it pretty fine so it picks up perfectly on the next timeline...but i am wondering if the DVD when playing in realtime will have a little black space inbetween timelines.
Thanks again for your help and time :-)

Hiya Mark.
DVD-Video is video dominant, with the audio always following the visuals so if the audio ends berfore the video it will not (okay, should not) be a problem.
However, the other way around could go either way - if the actual video timeline has ended the audio may well truncate so I would personally add videoblack at the very least.
I am also not at all sure how you are going to work a single contiguous audio file across 3 separate playlists. This sounds flawed in concept to me (have I misunderstood your meaning?). In DVD-Video the format is graphically/visually dominant - the audio must always be tied to a visual asset be it a menu or a timeline - so there is no way to have one piece of audio playing across 3 timelines and having it play back glitch free whilst the timeline changes. You will not get a black space - it will simply stop. So unless I have misunderstood you in some way.........
As Stan says, preview is flaky - the only way to know for sure is to multiplex & burn.

Same video footage encoded with different audio tracks (localization)?

Hi All, thanks for your time first of all.
Let me explain the issue I have; there are 5 video files and 10 audio files for each of them. That means I need to encode in total 50 videos. I can do this by hand, the video and audio files are the same length, so it would just means swapping one out for the other and encoding again...
But I was wondering if it was possible to automate this process? Let's say take the video footage and render is out with Audio1, then render it out with Audio2 and so forth. Is this something that is possible with AME or in Premiere or any other Adobe package?
I hope I explained this well enough, if not, please let me know!
Thanks.

You can add the video footage to a sequence, then add the first audio clip. Set up your export and hit the Queue button. That will send the sequence as it exists then to the Adobe Media Encoder.
Go back to that sequence, remove the first audio file and add in the second. Do another export. Your settings should be the same so you can just hit the Queue button. This ads another item to the list in AME, but this one is a snapshot of the sequence with the second audio.
Repeat as necessary, all using the same sequence. (Trust me, it'll work.)
Go into Adobe Media Encoder and start the encoding.

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios?
I have tried a lot of different ways but i cant figure it out?
I can get the sound and animation (timeline) to start playing.
There is no problem to start the video and the animation at the same time.
But i cant get both the video and the audio to start playing when i press a button.
It works great in OSX and on windows?
Here is an example:
// insert code for mouse click here
// Play an audio track
sym.$("_1")[0].play();
// Play a video track
sym.$("host")[0].play();
// Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
// sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
sym.play("marker1");

If the game has sound in it (and possibly even if it doesn't) it may be overriding the Music app and causing it to stop playing - in which case there is nothing that you can do about it.

What is the best way to deal with different audio sample rates on the same timeline ?

what is the best way to deal with different audio sample rates on the same timeline ?

You don't have to do anything special. If possible, start your project with a clip that has the desired target frame rate and audio sample rate, and your project parameters will be set automatically. Other sample rates will be converted under the covers.
For example, if your video is shot at 48khz, you can add music files at 44.1khz with no problem.
If you are recording audio that you want to synch with video (multicam), you will get best results if everything is 48khz, but you can use 44.1 if that is all you have. Once I forgot to reset my Zoom to 48,000 and it still worked.

Can one video track play with 9 different audio tracks?

If we create a dvd with a 20 mins voiceover video in 6 chapters, but there were 9 language versions inc English, could we use the same video track, playing with a different audio track for each language, to save space?

Almost. You have have 8 audio streams (AS) so you'd need to have 2 tracks and split the audio across them. So you could have Track 1 8x AS and Track 2 1x AS. T1 5x AS & T2 4x AS. You get the idea...
You dont need 1 Track per Track but you will need at least two. Keep an eye on your total bandwith for each track also. Remember to budget for the audio before you encode,

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

How do I play a video and audio file at the same time on Apple Tv?

I need to play a video loop (with no audio) on my apple tv and also play some music in the background. Its a video loop with no audio and then I need music to play in the background. The loop needs to repeat all day because its only 5 min long and the audio is an entire play list that's several hours. This is for a lobby flat screen setup.

QuickTimeKirk wrote:
Very difficult request because the Apple TV can only play one file at a time. It doesn't have a "loop" feature.
You could use QuickTime Player Pro to "join" the audio files into one file. The hard part would be adding the five minute video chunks via copy/paste as each would be added as a new "video" track. QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 "tracks" and the .mov container is supported by Apple TV.
So this new file would have a new video track (actually just a copy of the original) that played up to 98 times. A five minute source video would end up being a bit over 8 hours in duration.
The 98 track video could be "flattened" into one video track via export. The same for the audio track movie.
Other options:
Set the Quicktime Loop flag in the movie inspector properties.
Make a video playlist, adding the file to the playlist lots of times - make sure playlists are enabled in Settings for video not just music.

Recording Video and Audio at Same time with simultaneous sync

I want to record a keyboard performance into garageband and at the same time record the playing of that performance with my video camera. Then I want to create a movie using the music from garageband and the video from the camera. I was thinking that if I can sync the video and audio when I'm recording the session, then that part is taken care of. Or, maybe this is easier than I think it is?
Is there a way to do this so that I can use the garageband record performance and have it synced to the video on the camera?
I don't want to use the audio from the video camera because the performance that is captured in Garageband will be much better and I can do editing of the individual notes in GB.
In the end, I just want to make a movie and/or podcast of the performance.
I'm a newbie regarding this, but I did search the forums and couldn't find anything specific. Mostly it was about importing video into GB3 and then syncing new audio. I'll basically have audio and video from the same performance in two separate locations and I want to bring them together perfectly in Garageband.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Powerbook G4 - DVI Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Okay. I got the video and audio all together. I told you I'd link to it when it was up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxssYpUNJm8
There's also a copy of it at http://www.myspace.com/bonjimmy/
And as a quick side comment, even though I uploaded the same video to both YouTube and MySpace, the MySpace version is much better. YouTube must do something to the video after it's uploaded.
What I learned doing this project:
I recorded the video first (which gave me the sequencing of the piano performance) and then I dubbed the audio in later. However, there wasn't a good way to sync the video and the prerecorded piano, so there are some spots where the dubbed audio vocal isn't accurate to the video. I'm not sure what the pros do for this. I was hoping I'd remember how I sang for the video but when a couple weeks go by before re-doing the audio, it's about impossible. I tried, though.
I remember working with an old 4-track and smpte to a sequencer a long time ago. With the way it is now, it's pretty cool that you can record digitally and mix and match and everything falls together perfectly as long as you have a place to match the video and the audio. It's pretty cool.
What else???
Does anyone have suggestions that would have made it better? Also, if you have suggestions on my performance or whatever, I'd love comments, but you can do that on the linked page.
Thanks again for all your help. (The point of the video is because I'm thinking about getting back out there and doing some more playing... I'm looking for a band or something else interesting...)

1,000 menu items - each selection plays unique audio clip with same video

Hi all,
We're familiar with playing different audio tracks based on a menu selection - but we have a large number of clips for this project... so, here's our question:
A viewer of our 30 minute dvd throws it in the player and selects the city they live. We want to have about 1,000 city names they can choose from.
Based on their selection, (eg: Los Angeles) the DVD will play and then at 7 different points during playback, we need the name "Los Angeles" inserted/played along the main audio track. If someone selects Portland, then Portland would be spoken in that spot instead, etc.
In terms of audio files, we have the one main audio that is the same for all menu selections, except for the spots where the city goes, it is just blank.
We have recorded 1,000 unique audio clips of just the city name we want to include . (1 to 2 seconds long)
What's the best way to insert the audio where we need it during playback - or is it even possible? (non-blu ray). There is audio just before and after the point where the city name has to go, so the timing during playback is critical. (no pause or hiccup when inserting.)
We thought about outputting 1,000 unique audio tracks (each 30 minutes long) that include the full audio along with the city, but we seem limited in the number of audio tracks on the Encore timeline (at least based on our limited authoring experience - is there a way to get more clips in encore beyond the # of audio tracks it allows?)
In reading other posts, it seems we can set markers along the main audio track, dump all our city clips on a handful of audio tracks and have them pull in where needed but it seems it will cause the dvd to pause when doing this, and make for an interrupted viewing experience. Is that true?
Any ideas/thoughts are greatly appreciated...
kay

Let's see if someone can tell us how this might be done, but I say the answer is "no."
First, DVDs are made for playing on TVs as programs, not as interactive media. You pick one audio track, and that is all you get. To do what you want (the main audio track with one of a thousand names spoken also), you need a thousand audio tracks.
Even if it were possible, I think the number of menu choices (max 36 buttons on a single 4:3 menu) and the max 1 gig of menu on a disk, and if not those, the max 99 vts per disk (and for Encore which uses 1 vts per timeline, a huge task to figure out how to make all those clips into chapters on timelines) etc.

Capture from different video and audio sources ?

Hey guys, I'm running Adobe CS4 Master Collection.
In the past I've used Premiere to record the video and Soundbooth to record the audio. Then I would import the recorded audio into premiere.
Thinking about the workflow this seems kind of long winded, really what I should be able to do is record the audio from my video camera and the audio from my microphone (not video cam audio), at the same time within premiere.
Just wondering if anyone has a way of doing this ?
In the capture screen options it only allows selection of the video source with the audio automatically coming from the video camera - not what I want.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Jason,
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, this was posted to the Premiere (not Pro) forum, and belongs in the Premiere Pro forum, as you have CS4. The best reason for that is that there is much more traffic out in the PrPro forum, so you'll get more responses.
Now, to address your question: I see your normal workflow as being the best one. You are talking about the Video from your camera and then narration. Doing them as separate operations will be the easiest and the best, as they are, well separate operations.
One possibility would be to hook your mic to an XLR input on your camera, preview the footage and record your additional Audio Track to the tape, or card. However, you are then faced with having more than the 2 origianl channels of Audio. You would need to use SceneAlyzer Live (for SD material), or HDVSplit (for HD material), to Capture those additional channels of Audio for use in PrPro, as it will NOT Capture them.
I'd guess that the time to do that sort of workflow would be as long, as doing it your way. Also with your way, you can redo botched narration much more quickly.
Maybe someone has another method, to run both Soundbooth and PrPro at the same time, other than on side-by-side computer, but you'll still have the issue of bothched narration - gotta' get it 100% the first time, or you'll be really playing "catch up."
Good luck,
Hunt

Downloading and editing video footage with different audio channels

Hi out there, I usually created photo montages in my iMovie & iDVD, but I have been given the task to edit an event and I believe that there might be an hour to 2 hours of footage. What I would like to know is, how do I focus on the wireless audio when needed and then use the regular audio at other times. I am about to download the footage and would like to make sure that I download it properly and then be able to use the audio as I see fit... ( will I even be able to use the different audio channels) I hope that I am making sense, any suggestions?! THANKS!

The "baked in" audio which is part of the video will sit "inside" the video clips. That audio can be faded up and down as needed.
You'll need to separately import your "wireless" audio if it was recorded onto a separate device such as a mini-disc recorder or somesuch, and it'll then sit in one of the two separate audio tracks. You can also fade that up and down as needed.
IF, however, the "wireless" audio was recorded straight into the camera, via a wireless receiver attached to the cam, then that'll also come in as part of the normal video (see 1st paragraph, above).
So - in that case - to "unravel" or separate the camera's own and the "wireless" audio will only be possible if they were each mono signals, recorded separately to the left and right channels of the camcorder's single stereo track, e.g; camera's mike on left channel, additional "wireless" audio on right channel.
If this was a professional camcorder, like a Canon XLH1, into which you can feed 4 channels at recording time, you won't be able to separate those two pairs of stereo after importing into iMovie, unless you import them separately ..e.g; camera Channels 1 & 2 as an integral part of the video import, and then Channels 3 & 4 imported separately afterwards, into one of the separate audio tracks.
iMovie has no way of separating audio - apart from left and right stereo channels which can easily be done in GarageBand ..or in another external audio editor program. There's no way to "unbake" 4 separate channels of audio within a video clip and to separate them once the video's been imported ..when all audio then appears as simply left and right channels of a stereo signal. You can extract audio from a clip, but you can't separate individual components of the audio, apart from prising apart the left and right channels, no matter how many audio tracks are available ..such as the two extra tracks in iMovie.
You don't say (a) which camcorder(s) had been used for shooting the material, and (b) whether the "wireless" recording was fed into the camera, or was recorded separately.
If you provide further exact details I may be able to help more..

Multiple monitors showing same video in different rooms

How to get different lengths of video and audio loops?

I have a menu loop with a video and audio component. (I'm using the "pass through" theme). I set the video component for 15 seconds, but then the audio repeats after 15 seconds. I want the audio to complete the song and then repeat. Is this possible?

Video and audio (in one direction only) deteriorate after about 90 seconds

I begin a two-way video chat as normal, both parties can see and hear clearly. After about one and a half minutes of normal video chat, the person on the other end suddenly starts getting a highly pixelated image of me, and they start to lose chunks of audio from me. Meanwhile I continue to get a very nice clear video and audio from them. We usually end up closing the chat, because they are unable to hear or see me enough to continue.
The first 1.5 minutes or so is always clear, it starts after that. I always receive good audio and sound from the other party throughout the chat. I have never had problems receiving video/audio.
It happens with most (but not all) people I connect to. I am in California, and I always have this trouble when connecting to a relative in Connecticut. I have the problem again with one relative in Sydney Australia, but not with a different relative in Sydney. These are just a few examples by location.
I have repeatedly tested my connection speeds, and I have good up and down speeds - more than the minimum requirements. (My speed today is 8200 kb/s Down, 1309 kb/s up).
I have also tried:
Checking my Quicktime settings - (set to 1.5 Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN)
Bypassing my Airport modem/router, by connecting directly by ethernet to my Comcast cable modem (which has no router built in)
Replaced the cable modem with a brand new one.
Changed locations - tried it at a friend's house, still had the same problem.
So, I think I have isolated the problem to my PowerBook. This PowerBook used to do iChats really well for at least 18 months. I have been having this issue for about 5 or 6 months now. I have no idea what the problem could be. Any tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Martin
My setup:
ISP: Comcast Cable (Cable modem)
Apple Airport Exteme Base Station
Powerbook G4 1.67Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HD
O/S: Tiger 10.4.10
iChat 3.1.8 (with Chax)
External iSight camera

With Comcast.
Try rebooting the Modem.
This seems to refresh the connection in some manner.
Also speak to them. They may not admit any connection management but thing may "magically" get better.
