Trying to export "Audio only"

I'm running FCE 3.51.
I'm trying to export two audio tracks independently. I disable v1, get the pop-up warning about possibly losing render files. I choose to continue, then repeat for v2, then a1 & a2, a3 & a4. I highlight a5 & a6, then disable a7 & a8.
From the Export sub-menu I choose "For Soundtrack". However, the "Audio Only" in the Include: pull-down is disabled. When I leave the default item "Audio & Video" I end up with a file equal in size to the entire film, but with black screen and no audio.
My goal is an exported file with a5 & a6, then I'll repeat the procedure to generate a different file with a7 & a8, each with a .wav extension.
What am I doing wrong?

False alarm. I got it. Found the detailed instructions in the User's Manual. I should have been using Export for QuickTime Conversion rather than "For Soundtrack".

  • Trying to export audio for editing in Logic...

    I'm having an issue properly exporting audio from some video I shot... I was able to export the audio as an AIFF file, but when I import it into Logic (to enhance the audio), it plays back at a different pitch and tempo (although when I open the exported file in Quicktime player it works fine...)
    Maybe it's an issue with Logic? Or should I change some setting for exporting the audio as an AIFF file?

    yes it is possible to do this, but it is a bit complicated. Under the share menu choose export media. In the dialog that appears you can choose audio only. There are options for AAC, AIFF etc. The problem is that it will export all of the audio from your project so if you want only audio from a particular clip to be exported you need to create a new project and then copy/paste the clip into the new project. You can then export that audio as described above. An alternative is to create a new empty compound clip in the browser and open it in a timeline and copy/paste your clip into it. You can then export audio only as above. Once you have edited the audio, import it into FCPX and add as attached clip to the original clip. You can either drag the volume of the original audio down so it is not audible or detach the original audio and delete it. Not as simple as in previous versions of FCP but do-able.

  • Exporting Audio Only

    I thought that you used to be able to export audio only from iMovie using share to quicktime with some advanced settings.  I don't see that as an option in the new Mavericks iMovie

    Seriously ? There are no user selectable options for audio exports?
    What the heck is wrong with giving people the ability to accomplish what they want to ITB?
    Maybe this is just a marketing tactic to sell compressor to people who might not otherwise need it.
    I sincerely hope Apple returns audio export options in the next update.
    Bj4mac,
    For what it's worth, you should not have been using 44.1 audio in FCPX.
    Use one of the apps that Tom mentioned to convert to 48. (or QT pro if you still have that from FCS).
    If this is an audio-only task you're attempting, that's all the more reason to use another app.
    Good luck

  • I cannot export audio only as Roles, the render stops midway.

    I'm using FCPX 10.1.3
    I try to export audio only using Roles. The render just stops midway, it never finishes. What's wrong??
    I'm also using X2Pro to generate an AAF file using the same roles. The AAF file comes with errors in the ProTools session. I'm guessing that the same problem that I'm having to share audio using roles is the one messing up the AAF file.
    Help please!

    JCVela is right.
    You don't want to export a master file with multitrack to then do another transcode in compressor. You have to be able to really disable and choose roles for sharing. And still, this doesn't solve the issue of exporting AUDIO ONLY as ROLES. Sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn't.
    For me, it is essential to be able to really turn on and off the audio or video of clips using the roles window for any kind of sharing/export whether it is within FCPX or Compressor and that when you do, that the render actually finishes. As it is right now, the roles tool is only a way to mark your clips and to turn them on and off when you're editing. And this is ridiculous.
    Another thing: can you select clips using roles? For example, I want to lower the volume of all my clips that have the role of Dialogue, in the same amount for all of them. So far, selecting the dialogue role in the role window the clips get highlighted but I still have to select each one of them individually and manually to do the volume change. So, is there a way to select them all by using roles?

  • Can't export audio only

    Any ideas why “Audio Only” is greyed out when I try to export my project? I’ve tried both To QuickTime and to Soundtrack, no avail; could do it using QuickTime Conversion to AIFF, but why not these other ways? I just want to clean up the audio in STPro and bring it back...
    Thanks!

    No, I’m using FCExpressHD. I already tried pulling out the FCE.plist from my Main Library; didn’t help. But I notice there’s also a FCE.plist in my User Library, along with even more FCE stuff in a folder called Final Cut Express User Data, either Final Cut Express Files or Final Cut Express Configuration Files... Should I trash both plists or any of this other stuff?
    Aside: Decided not to upgrade to FCStudio, since I’d already bought and upgraded Motion and STPro before they were locked up inside Studio, and didn’t find FCP 5 compellingly better than FCP HD... Express seems to have what I need and is more usefully tied to iMovie which I have done a LOT of work in, but SoundtrackPro is an essential!
    Thanks for your help, Tom (and your cool books!)

  • Quicktime X Exporting Audio only - No Video

    Hello,
    Any MOV file I brought into Quicktime X I used to able to export to 720p, 1080p or 420p to
    a nicely encoded, universal H.264 Quicktime file.
    Now, when I try and export, it makes a small audio file and no video. The codec I'm encoding from is 'Animation'...should be easy..?
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    Dan

    I'm having the same problem. Exporting as a 720 or a 480 from a 1080 only makes audio files. It used to work great under Snow Leopard.
    Even the Export for the Web/Broadband only ends up making audio-only .mov file
    I rolled back to my old copy of QuickTime 7 pro and was able to export a 720 and a 480, though you have to wade through a lot more codec options...

  • How do I export audio only?

    I have audio that needs cleaning up beyond what I know how to do and I want to send it off to a friend... the FCP Library is around 133GB so I'd like to just send the audio. How can I do that?
    Using version 10.1.4
    Thanks.

    If you have Compressor, import a batch of your video files at a time into there and export as Audio only - something uncompressed like .aiff files.
    It's VERY quick.
    If you don't have Compressor, you can create a project in FCP X, drop a load of files onto it, and then Share > Master File (choose Audio only again) .aiff (or similar uncompressed).
    You'll need to re-import these files into your projects after they are returned - there are various ways to do that.

  • Can QuickTime X Exporting Audio Only???

    Can QuickTime X export audio like QuickTimePro did (.aiff, .aac, etc.) ?
    QuickTime X has the same ability to record audio but seems to only alllow me to save it as a .mov or a .mp4 file. What gives!

    Use the QuickTime Player Pro app (Utilities folder) for those conversions (exports).

  • White screen on export - audio only, no video

    Hi,
    This has happened with a few videos I've tried to export, got a feeling it's to do with the codec, but the Inspector Window in Quicktime Pro shows everything fine:
    Format:
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
    H.264 Decoder, 1280 x 720, Millions
    I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a Macbook Pro and have tried to export a .mov as H264 and mpeg4.
    Any ideas of what I can do to find out what's going wrong?
    Thanks

    What codecs are used in the source file?

  • Error message when trying to export audio file to DVD

    I recorded an interview on a portable voice recorder and transferred the data into Garage Band by connection of a cable connected to the headphone of the device to the speaker input in the Mac. Garage Band took the audio file. It is 1.5 GB. I did some minor editing and wanted to save the file onto a DVD. When I selected "share" to export song to the DVD, an error message came up stating that the file was over 2 GB, which it wasn't. The file was then broken in two and one part was "shared", but the same error message came up. I took the computer to the Apple store for the Genus to help me with, but he had the same problem. The only way that he was able to save the audio file to a DVD was to select the file and place the file on a blank DVD. However, it can only be listened on a computer with Garage Band. I intend to use my voice recorder again to interview people. How can I input the audio file in the Mac and have it saved on a DVD to be played on multiple devices?

  • Final Cut HD- Exports Audio only?

    Well, I have had the best of luck with Final Cut Express HD-  I am not sure why, BUT NOW, everytime I export a video (quicktime or .mpeg4) it only exports the Audio and No video.
    I don't think I have have changed any settings, but if I have - how do I change them back?  This is killing my business as I make short web videos for auctioneers.
    What am I doing wrong- all of a sudden after two years all I can export is audio and no video?

    Maybe you have inadvertently selected NONE in the video export options?

  • Final Cut Pro X will not export Audio

    Everything looks / works fine on the timeline. However, when exporting there is no audio. When trying to export audio only, I receive Quicktime Error 0. This just started happening in the last couple days. I've had it since it came out and haven't changed anything in the settings, etc. I'm clueless. I have a project that took me a couple days to put together. I've had to capture the audio using iShowU and then sync it up in Premier Pro - not a good workflow at all. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Well - I was slightly wrong. I was zooming in on the timeline to do some screen captures and there actually was a cross disolve I couldn't see when zoomed out to the full timeline. So, I'd heard people having issues where dissolves are so I removed it. Sure enough everything plays (and exports) fine. However, I go to re-add the disolve and the sound again shuts off right at that point on export. Any solutions to that problem?

  • Can i insert delay and export to audio only affected wave data?

    Let me explain with example,
    2 notes of snare in the piano roll. I insert echo delay and set what ever i want. I want to export audio only the reflection of this delay effect, not the 2 notes of snare.
    Possible?

    Happy to help!

  • Export Audio to Movie

    Hi I'm using Logic 9 on a G5 IMac 10.7.4 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 Lion.
    I'm trying to Export  a new audio file that I've recorded to a movie file which is VTS_01_1.dv.  (replace the old audio). The old file is VTS_01_1.aif.
    That's fine I can do that but when I play the video I get both old and new audio files playing.
    I went into Video preferences in Logic and muted the soundtrack as well as turned down the volume, but didn't help.
    Can anyone off any advice on this.
    Thanks.
    Rob.

    I am trying to export audio to movie. I have done this before but it has been a while so perhaps I am forgetting to do something. I bought a manual at macprovideo, but it only tells me what I already know, no solutions.
    When I export audio to movie, the audio does not get attached. I go to 'export audio to movie' click, I try t select sample rate, it is selected, but the window itself is blank. . . well let's try it anyway. . . I hit ok,
    I deselect the original audio because I already dragged and edited it in logic. I hit ok, it is done in a couple of seconds so I already know there will be no audio but I check just in case and indeed there is nothing.
    Am I leaving something important out?
    Please help I am driving myself crazy.

    "I deselect the original audio because I already dragged and edited it in logic. "
    Try leaving the audio selected...
    Also, where are your selection markers? ie the length markers? These are on the top ruler, and are the left locator, and the right locator. they must select the length of audio to export too. In the Transport, they have bar indicators as to where they are.
