Unlinking multiple Video/audio clips

Coming from FCP I'm used to doing certain things as part of the workflow.   One of these is being able to link / unlink multiple video/audio clips at the same time to that I can selectively delete or disable the audio if I'm running a second audio recorder or perhaps mixing a backing track.
In PPro it seems like as soon as I select more than one clip the 'Unlink' option is grayed.    How can I select (say) 10 clips, unlink the audio from the video so that I can delete or disable it.   The reason for disable is that I may want the ambient sounds later on in the mix, but if I disable this audio without unlinking I also disable the video.
I don't want to keep moving stuff on to more and more audio tracks and then have to mute the track, that's time consuming and a pain.   All I want to do it unlink multiple clips.
This can't be that hard can it ?

You don't need to Unlink in order to Delete.  Just hold down the Alt key while selecting the audio portion of the clips.
You can 'disable' the audio by turning off the entire track, which is very easy to undo if you ever want the audio back.
It's a slight shift in work flow, but the end result is the same.

  • Sync Multiple Video & Audio Clips

    I have a lot of camera clips and multiple audio recordings. None are named to be together but I wanted to sync them all. Tried Plural eyes and it just doesn't get it. Any advice on this? Thanks

    Do it manually.  Works every time.

  • How do I join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hello,
    The question is in the title but I'm wondering how I can join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in PP CS5.5.  I put all my short clips right next to each other and selected all of them to see what options are available by right clicking and using the toolbar options at the top.  The closest that I got was to nest the sequence, but that's not what I really want.
    I'd like to merge all the short clips into one single (long) audio file to use under the video.
    Thoughts are welcome and  greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Melvin

    O.K. This is kind of fundamental and you will need to learn up on this fully ...but for now...
    Make sure you have the WAB ( work area bar )covering the length of the audio clips. ( You do not need to select them)
    Go to the File Menu> Export Media
    You will be given all the Export Options.  Choose Wave File
    Select option for Export Work Area.
    Choose where to export the file to ( HD location)
    follow your nose from there....

    BTW - Why are you taking the audio to Audition anyway? What are you going to do to it.

  • Moving Video & Audio Clips on Timeline

    How can I move all video and audio clips on the timeline together? I can select and move all video clips, or all audio clips, but I can't find a way to move everything together. Moving separately will put audio and video out of sync.
    Thanks.

    Lock the audio to the Playhead first (Advanced menu).
    But you should be able to select both video and audio clips together using the usual shift key.

  • Video/audio clips don't work on BBC news/sport (will on I.Express)

    Audio source of the file that doesn't work in your page but does work "directly".
    The movie worked for me using Safari.
    I would expand the page layout so that you don't have a scroll on the "video" side of the page.
    Something is covering the movie controller for your audio file and it also covers your "back" link.
    I also had trouble downloading any of your Practice Scales. They "paused" for a few minutes before the download began.
    Hope this helps you sort out the issues.

  • Matching Video/Audio Clip Lengths

    I import a series of video clips (from 35 mm slides) into the video track time line, each 7 seconds in length with transitions. If desired, I may reorder the sequence of these clips. Then I add voice-over for each clip on an audio track. The voice over time for a particular video clip may run 10-15 seconds. To extend the video clip time to match the length of the audio clip, I set an "in" and "out" marker to match the length of the audio clip, drag the video clip from the Browser to "fit to fill" in the canvas thus extending the time of the video clip. Is there a more efficient way of extending the length of the video clip to match the length of the voice-over clip? Many thanks. Jack A2

    Are these still images or video clips? You said they came from slides is why I ask. One way is to use the ripple tool to lengthen the clips in the timeline.

  • Paste attributes prompt box (only 1st linked video & audio clip)

    what is up with that box? how can I avoid this? I need to paste attributes to all 4 audio tracks and not just the 1st one!
    The box reads:
    Paste Attributes will only use the first video and first linked audio clip for parameters and content to be pasted. Do you wish to continue?

    You'll get that warning if you copied more than one clip. The message is telling you that it will only paste the attributes of the first clip of the group you selected.
    To avoid that warning, you should only copy ONE clip. After you've copied one clip you can then past the attributes of that clip to as many clips as you select.

  • Video-Audio-Clips in CS3 verknüpfen

    Bin blutjunger Anfänger und habe CS3 mit Matrox RT X2. Wenn ich meine Clips im Schnittfenster verknüpft darstelle, also mit Unterstrich, dann folgt beim verschieben des Video-Clips auf Spur 2 nicht der Audio-Clip auf Spur 2 nach. Die in der Dokumentation angeführten Funktionsangaben zeigen bei mir keine Wirkung. Ich kann die Clips nach der Markierung nur einzeln verschieben wie wenn die Verknüpfung aufgehoben ist.
    Bei Überlagerungen von Effekten liegen dann 2 Audiospuren übereinander. Beim löschen des überlagerten Clips auf Videospur 2 sind dann beide Audiospuren weg.Vielleicht ist die eine sehr panale Frage für das Forum, aber ich stehen damit auf dem Schlauch. Es ist auch meine erste Einstellung und hoffentlich habe ich alles recht gemacht mit meinen 68 Lebensjahren. Wer kann mir dabei helfen? JETZT SCHON VIELEN dANK

    Do you not have replace footage when you right click a clip?

  • How to drag video & audio clip up one track simultaneously?

    In 6.5, when I dragged a video clip from Video Track 1 to Video Track 2, the audio automatically followed from Audio Track 1 to Audio Track 2. Not so in Pro 3.0 and I assume 4.0. Can this be changed?

    Hi, I am a novice with a similar question.
    I have imported HD ACVHD files into Premiere Pro CS4.
    When I drag & drop the file into Video 1 on my timeline, the audio automatically defaults into the Audio 4 track.
    I want those audio files in Audio 1.
    I have tried to unlink each clip and then group the audio files and drag them to Audio 1, but Premiere will not let me do it.
    A pair of two-part questions about how I can (and should) accomplish the task:
    1. Can I drag & drop the audio files from Audio 4 to Audio 1, and if so, how?
    2. Why does it default like this, and what can I do to change the preset?
    It's kind-of an urgent matter, so I would appreciate any feedback any experienced users can provide me,
    Thanks, D.

  • Is there a way to import video/audio clips from Logitech webcam?

    I just purchased a used Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac. A Logitech driver is apparently not required. I connected it to a USB port on my mini. I couldn't find any way of downloading Photo Booth so I downloaded Funny Photographer (http://homepage.mac.com/spillnerclan/fabian/funnyphotographer/Funny%20Photograph er.html).
    With Funny Photographer I am able to capture still photos.
    Eventually, I intend using the webcam with Skype. In the meantime I would like to capture audio and video clips. This is not possible in iMovie6 (at least with a USB device). Is there a way to do this? Might Quicktime PRO work? Thanks.

  • Linked video audio clip goes out of sync when put in timeline - why?

    Learning to use Final Cut Express. Clip plays in browser with audio in time with video but as soon as clip is dragged onto timeline the audio goes out of sync. Why? Please can anyone help because its driving me mad!

    You don't give any details as to FCE's settings, camera format or your workflow so I can only hazard a guess.
    One of the main reasons that audio goes out of sync is because the Easy Setup audio settings do not match the camera's audio settings.
    The default setting is for 16bit (48KHz) but your camera may be shooting 12bit (32KHz audio).
    If this is the case you need to recapture using the 32KHz Easy Setup.

  • I have quicktime  player 7.7.2. A relative video clips from his phone. Previously they downloaded with both video and audio. As of Sept. 30 only the audio downloads, yet Quicktime still plays older saved video/audio clips. Help?

    I have Quicktime Player 7.7.2. A relative has been sending video clips from his phone since June, and until Sept. 30 both the video and audio would download. SInce that date only the audio downloads, yet I can still open and play the older saved videos just fine. I tried looking at QuickTime help info available. One place said something about purchasing Quick Pro for use with 7.7.2, but if I need that, why can I still open older saved videos? Thanks for any help.

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them. 

  • Premier to Audition Problem With Multiple Channel Audio Clip

    Hi Guys, I am trying send clips into audition to remove noise. The clips have 8 channels of audio but in audition only one shows up, and it seems to randomly choose one. The audio channels are all on one file so I don't understand why audition doesn't recognize this. Premier for sure sees all of them. So when I remove the noise, it only works for one channel.
    How can I solve this? Merging all the channels into one clip and then sending it?

    Hummm, you got me. I take my multitrack, open the individual sound files, do my effects and save as .wav
    then I import the .wav back into Premiere
    depends, some times I do the mix down into one file, save and import
    I quit doing the render and replace or whatever it was called in CS6

  • Walking characters, multiple video tracks/clips with a green screen

    I'm pretty new to Final Cut Pro.
    Here is the scenario:
    -I have three characters (puppets).
    -Each are recorded on a separate video track.
    -Each are recorded with a green screen for the background.
    -They are all walking in the same direction.
    Question: How do I have all three characters walk along the same path on the same video? I have layered them one on top of the other and have tried to mess around with the different settings (including: Mask Shape filter; cropping the clip). However, they either walk out of the clip or there is not enough room between them with all clips playing at the same time.
    Is there some way to isolate the character and their movements?
    (P.S. I need them all to be of the same opacity in the end)
    Thanks for your expertise.

    1. I have three characters moving quite a large distance. I am trying to fit all of this movement into one clip and not have the video clips overlapping (I am also dealing with puppeteers in the background, so there is a lot I still have to edit out of the background using Shake).
    Good luck on Shake but creating a mask and then processing the key is easy in Motion.
    TylerC_Edit wrote:
    I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "executing the keys".
    Masking, tweaking, processing, rendering. If you set up each puppet as a separate project in Motion, you can successfully execute on of the keys and then apply the same settings to the other two.
    TylerC_Edit wrote:
    And yes, I need to figure out what it means to export with the Alpha.
    Exporting the movie removes all processing so all you're doing is stacking up three puppets moving against a transparent background. Each can be scaled, positioned, keyframed, and have interactive shadows applied to it without requiring the chromakey to be process first. Huge timesaver.

    I have looked into Motion, but am having trouble even viewing the video- is very laggy. Most likely my computer is too slow...unless you have any suggestions?
    Motion requires some pretty hefty graphics hardware. You must have at least a 4870. But you have not specified in any of your posts what your format is.
