Two Audio Tracks From Zoom H4n

I'm relatively new to video production, and I just got a Zoom h4n to get better audio for my videos shot with a dslr.  I plugged a cheap dynamic microphone into it and recorded using mono mix (so I could use the mono track as a stereo track)  When I loaded it up in Premiere and synced it to the video track, the audio from the h4n comes up as two audio tracks.  If I mute one of the tracks, sound still comes out of both speakers.  Can anyone explain what the second track is for?

Two tracks, meaning one clip on A1 and one on A2?  I've never seen that from the H4n.  Even 4 track mode creates two separate files that you'd have to add to two tracks individually

  • Synchronizing Sony MC50e + Sony PMW-EX1 + sound from Zoom H4n

    I´m an amateur. Having problem with synchronizing sound and picture from the cameras:
    Sony MC50e rec.format --> HD FX (1080/50i)
    Sony PMW-EX1 rec.format --> HQ (1080/25p)
    and sound from:
    Zoom H4n 48 kHz (but I don´t know framerate etc...??)
    I´ve FCP 6.0.6
    After a while from where the files are synchronized, the files (in timeline) gets desynchronized.
    Do I have to run all the files thru a compressor? If someone now exactly what I should do. Sequence presets (I´m editing for dvd), compressor settings, other kinds of settings etc... Please tell me. I know that its timelasting thing to use compressor for all the files. I hope to find another solution.

    It says: "The synchronization itself is done using audio tracks only, so you'll need clips with both video and audio in order to use it (pluraleyes)."
    That´s a problem. I have one camera without sound. And one camera with sound, but it may be different from the recording by zoom h4n because of the different placement in the recording room (church).
    Are there any other solutions? Someone that knows exactly the preferences of the files from EX1, MC50e and Zoom H4n (with recording settings as described over), that knows another way to fix this? That´s also a question: How to synch to videofiles (one 1080 24p, another 1080 50i) without audio.

  • How to extract one of several audio tracks from a .vob file?

    Hi guys,
    hope you can help me, i'm looking for a solution for hours now but can't find one.
    I would like to know how to extract one audio track from a .vob file when there are different tracks/languages on the dvd? Media encoder does it very well, but i can't find the option for choosing the right audio track/language for extraction. Please help
    Kind regards
    Alex

    This is because the OMF specification requires mono audio files
    It really depends on what you are trying to do with the two tracks as to the best answer as far as 'grouping'
    You could select all the clips on both tracks and right mouse click and select 'group'
    You could send both tracks to a bus
    You could export the two tracks to a stereo file and bring that back into the session
    Lots more things I'm sure but a little more detail as to what you are trying to do would help

  • I just loaded Audition, but when I try to edit an audio track from Captivate the "edit in adobe audi

    I just loaded Audition, and already had Captivate on my computer. I'm trying to edit an audio track from Captivate, so I go to Audio>Edit>Slide. But, the window that comes up does not have the "Edit in Audition" button activated. The button is faint, thus doesn't work. How do I sync these two programs so I can edit a Captivate Audio file in Audition?

    From the captivate help file:
    You can use Adobe Audition to edit audio when you want to go beyond the audio editing options available in Adobe Captivate. For example, to apply filters or remove noise, you need an advanced audio editor such as Adobe Audition. You can either edit the audio files from slides or batch process by opening multiple files in Adobe Audition using the Library panel.
    The changes reflect in Adobe Captivate library and the associated slides where the audio files are being used. The saved files are reimported to Adobe Captivate with the slide associations intact.
    Note:  This feature is available only in Adobe Captivate that is installed as a part of Adobe eLearning Suite.
    I think that the last line probably answers your question....

  • How to burn a DVD with two audio track?

    There is a projet with the original video and a second audio track with music. I want to burn a DVD with both audio tracks. When playing the DVD you should be able to select audio track 1 (the original sound) or audio track 2 (the music). With Adobe Encore DVD it was easy to configure the two audio tracks and burn the DVD. It is posible to do the same from Adobe Premier Elements 11?
    Thanks,
    Jordi

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, PrE does not allow for supplemental Audio Tracks, when authoring.
    I use Adobe Encore for this, but it is only available bundled with Premiere Pro. I do not know if some other, third party, full-featured authoring apps., like Sony's DVD Architect can do that, but I would suspect that they can. The specifications for DVD Architect should have that information, and as it's quite common in full-featured authoring apps., I anticipate that it has that capability.
    If you do go with that program, our MOD, Steve Grisetti, has written a very good book on DVD Architect, and it's available at Muvipix.com.
    Good luck,

  • Two audio tracks in APT via Handbrake

    Hey there...
    I encoded one of my DVDs, using Handbrake.
    Basically, I chose the AppleTV presets... except for the audio setup.
    Here, I set up a second audio track (number one being english, with the second one being german).
    So, Handbrake created a mp4 file as it was set up to.
    I transferred that file to my ATV, using iTunes.
    Now... everything works great. Except for the audio settings.
    When I play that encoded movie in iTunes, I can choose either the one, or the other audio track as I like. On AppleTV however, it would just play using track 2 - which is weird for one.
    I can't change the tracks, like you would be able to when you rented a movie in the Store...
    Is there a special setting in Handbrake, that allows ATV to recognize that there are two audio tracks in the mp4? Or is there another workaround?
    Thanks a bunch in advance!

    i doubt that very much ! anyways, this forum is based in the US. and, the ToU of the forum (to which you agreed when you came here) say very clearly
    I'm surprised that you aren't in the US !!
    sometimes i'd rather be. they have the better content in the US ITMS
    What about music CDs? Are you allowed to convert them to mp3 and listen them on your iPod ?
    yes, that's different.

  • Beginner question: Two audio tracks become one - how to undo?

    I know this surely is a beginners' problem, i hope for a quick reply anyway. I've imported material I had before logged with AVID Liquid, into Premiere CS4. In order to get video and audio together I had to put video and audio in a new sequence by hand. I then loaded this seqeunce into the source monitor to be able to cut my material (one video track, two audio tracks (one from a directional mic, which I don't always want))  from there. But when I paste a clip in my editing sequence I only get video plus ONE audio track in the stereo track. But I need both audio tracks because sometimes I'm going to delete one of them. So my question: How do I get video and BOTH audio tracks from one sequence to the other?
    Thank you very much, you've had much patience with me with similiar questions.
    Niklas

    To do what you want, you won't be able to work with the media as a single clip.  You'd have to go into the sequence with the video and two audio tracks, and pick out what you want from there instead of the Source monitor.  Make your cuts, laso the clips you're using, then do a Cut/Paste from the main sequence into the edit sequence.  Make sense?

  • When downloading video into FCP my two audio tracks are locked together.

    When downloading HD video into FCP my two audio tracks are locked together. Channel one will not separate from channel two. Not good. One channel is my miked talent, the other abient. Any suggestions? I cannot find the problem. Sequence settings? Preference settings?
    Help!

    I think you mean "importing", not downloading.
    Downloading is when you copy a file from an Internet server to your computer.
    Channel one will not separate from channel two.
    Any suggestions?
    Select the two tracks and choose Modify > Stereo Pair
    Or you can just use the keyboard shortcut option-L

  • Which app can convert TWO audio tracks - MXF files to FCPX?

    Help help help,
    I need to convert TWO audio tracks along with my video files from my Canon XF100 - to edit in FCPX. All the apps I seem to find are only able to convert one audiotrack. I have audio from both microphone and microport, so one is not enough. Furthermore it must be a pro tool, so I don't loose imagequality.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks in advance!
    Lisa, DK

    Hi Tom,
    Thx so much - but its not fcpx, but The converter - fcpx can't read MXF files, so they must be converted - The problem is to find A tool to convert both tracks

  • More than two audio tracks?

    Is it possible on iMovie to have more than two audio tracks? Is there a way I can add more? If so, how?
    Thanks so much,
    -Rachel

    At the recommendation of Matthew Morgan and others in this forum, I took about twenty minutes and checked out garage band.
    You can click on a movie tab, in which you can import your imovie project. Garage band gives you the option of, at least, 8 simultaneous tracks. You can record from your mic, mind you that's a bit tricky, you'll have to read the garage band manual, but like I said, it only took twenty minutes to configure everything.
    Once everything's recorded, you can export to imovie. I didn't try that, but I know it absolutely can be done, and it shouldn't be hard. That will give you 9 tracks at a minimum, plus your video's sound as a 10th. Pretty cool stuff.
    FYI, it's not enough to have your mic selected in sound preferences. You'll want to go to Utilities and audio/midi setup and choose your mic AND choose it again in the Properties For tab. Once that's done, go to Preferences in Garage Band, click on audio/midi and choose your mic. Now, you're good to go. (I found this out under an "imic" microphone question in garage band help.) Awesome app.
    Hope this helps.

  • 2nd Audio track from merged .m4v files does not play on iPod Touch

    I used Handbrake to encode two .m4v files of a concert DVD that spans two DVDs. I then took those two files and combined them into Quicktime Pro to create a single .m4v file. The file plays fine in QT but when I transfer the file to my ipod, only the first audio track (from the first file) plays. Once the video from the second file plays, the audio is silent. Here's what the movie properties look like:
    Enabled Name Start Time Duration Format
    ====================================================
    Y Video Track -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- H.264
    Y Audio Track1 -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- AAC
    Y Audio Track2 -- 1:27:28:87 -- 0:54:24:02 -- AAC
    N Text Track -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- Text
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    So basically, anytime I combine more than one mp4 file in QT7 Pro, it will always create multiple audio tracks when doing a simple "save as" (vs. export as)
    Not exactly. QT has it own set of rules. As you noted, the video track had no problem merging into a single track. This would not have happened if you had merged video compressed differently or added an image/stretched image sequence. Not knowing your specific work flow or settings, I hesitate to make any claims here. Frankly, when merging audio, I normally prefer to use GarageBand when I want to create a single master audio track and still retain control of the other tracks for mixing purposes. However, I could just as well have exported the audio in the original file using QT Pro to a single audio file and used that audio track to replace both original tracks keeping both the original video and chapter tracks. It is all a matter of which work flow you consider easiest for a particular job or project.
    If I've exported out my chapter file as a plain text file, how do I go about reintegrating that withing the final mp4 file using QT?
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/chaptertracks.html
    The above link is a somewhat old tutorial explaining how to create a chapter text track from scratch. Since you already have the chapter track, just refer to the steps indicating how to add the text file back to your main movie file. (Ignore the step that says to set a "Preload" option as this pop-up has been removed.)

  • How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

    How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

    Binbashi
    You can separate the audio track from video and save it to a DVD disc within Premiere Elements but not a CD disc.
    To do save to the audio to DVD disc, you do not have to separate linked audio video, just use the export Publish+Share/Computer/Audio and set Presets to the wanted format (AAC, AIFF, MP3, or Windows Waveform (WAV).
    You will not see Audio in the choices since it is at the bottom of the list of choices under Publish+Share/Computer/. You will need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices to scroll to it.
    If you need information on selective export of Timeline content when dealing with more than just this one file on the Timeline, please let us know. If you are trying to produce a CD for listening in car or CD player elsewhere, please let us know.
    Looking forward to learning of your results.
    Thank you.

  • 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
    Peace

  • QT H.264 files with two audio tracks. Quicktime plays 2nd track first. ***?

    I've been experimenting with H.264 (AVC) and my DVDs. Using Handbrake, I ripped a DVD to MP4 (H.264) and including the director's commentary as the second track.
    When I play the MP4 with Quicktime Player, it plays the director's commentary instead of the main soundtrack. VLC, however, correctly plays the first track (main movie audio track) and it allows me to select the second track via a menu.
    To get Quicktime to play the proper track, I have to open "Movie Properties" and manually uncheck the second track. This was never a problem with DivX/XviD encoded files with two audio tracks; Quicktime Player correctly played the first track.
    Why does Quicktime ignore the first audio track in MP4s (but not AVIs) and is there a way to correct this?

    I do have QT Pro.
    H.264 files are usually saved in a MP4 container. That's what Handbrake, ffpegX, and D-Vision create, anyway.
    The "Choose Language" option is greyed out (unavailable) when I open this H.264 MP4 in Quicktime. If I try to change the settings in "Movie Properties," it says that I must save it with the .MOV file suffix.
    It makes no sense to me that Quicktime Player can correctly identify the main audio soundtrack in a XviD file with an AVI container but not in a H.264 video with a MP4 container which Apple has been touting as the latest, greatest thing. Even VLC, an open source product still in beta, gets it right.
