What is best way of separating audio portion of video clip to use later

I would like to save, and use in other projects a portion of the audio of a clip. What is the best way of getting the audo portion out of the clip it is in and into a some sort of self-contained clip of its own?

Just to build on Tom's answer...
Given you only want a portion of a specific clip...
I'd say
Select the portion you want using the range tool (R)
Share | Master File | Audio Only (as Tom has said)
But even then, if you haven't disabled the other audio in the timeline (or don't want to) you'll get all of it... (Music/Camera/Effects etc)
What I do, is export Roles as separate files (Using the "Roles As" option) at the bottom of the share dialog. Either "Dialogue" or "Music" would probably suit you, I'm guessing.

What the best ways to save web pages on the cloud ? Using an iPhone ?

Dear folks
I read a lot of web pages on iPhone that I need to refer to / come back to later
I have limited space on my iPhone and do not want to clutter the phone saving all these pages
What are the best options to
a) save these web pages on the cloud ?
B) Or mail them to myself ( again store on some specific gmail or so account ? )
Or
C) It would also be great to convert them to PDF and mail them to myself or save them on box dot net or Dropbox
Or
d) save them initially on the phone but , eventually move them in batches to my hard drive thru backups
What is the best option ? And What are the best ways to do this
Free apps / solutions preferred
If not so paid ones are okay
TIA

Import photos to your computer, then delete the copies that reside on the phone. Also remove apps you no longer use.

Is there a way to separate audio from a video clip in iMovie HD?

iMovie 6.0.4
Sorry if this has been answered before.
Is there any way to edit audio within iMovie? What I mean is, importing an audio file but then editing and separating the audio file into smaller pieces. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any help, much appreciated!

Edit the same as you would a video clip. Highlight the audio clip by clicking on it, then select the place you want to edit it with the playhead, go to EDIT and select Split Audio Clip at Playhead.

Audio portion of Video clips offset

I have a large FCE project with a mixture of video clips and still photos. Most of the processing that I do consists of working with the still photos, such as Ken Burns effect, changing the length of the still photos to conform to voice-over files and so on.
After working with a particular sequence for awhile, about 20 minutes into a 30 minute sequence, I notice that all of the video clips have the audio portion out of sync by exactly 2 seconds.
What can cause this problem, how can I fix it, and what should I do to prevent this from happening again?

Hi David, thanks for the response.
Actually, it wasn’t a case of a few un-linked clips being moved inadvertently. All 20 video clips at the end of the sequence were exactly 2 seconds out of sync. None of the clips prior to those were out of sync. I have no idea how that could have happened, especially only to those beyond the point in the timeline where I was working.
I am normally aware of the 2 menu items: Modify/Link (Command + L) and Edit/Linked Selection (Shift + L). I sometimes use the first to unlink a single clip in order to delete the audio portion. The second menu item, which unlinks all of the clips has the potential to be dangerous and I almost never use it purposely. However, in this case, I used it to fix the problem (I think). What I did was do Shift + L to unlink everything. I then changed the scale of the timeline to so that I could see all of the unlinked audio clips so I could select them together, then moved them exactly 2 seconds to the right so that they now lined up with the video. I then did another Shift + L to relink everything and finished with a Save.
The first time I tried to do as explained above, it didn’t work. The clips were lined up but FCE was still indicating 2 seconds out of sync. After that, I posted my question. While waiting for a response, I tried it again. I have no idea why it worked the second time.

Whats the best way to fix audio recorded on a smartphone?

So I have to re-edit this previously done video and all I have to do is change the audio introduction, unfortunately the VO person is out of town with no access to professional audio equipment and all he can do is record the intro on his phone (literally one line) and text it to me so I can insert it. The rest of the audio remains the same
We just did that, but as expected the audio doesn't sound as "clear" as the previously recorded one. I basically just have to insert the new audio line and just keep the rest of the audio as last months. I do have music and sound effects in the background but since Im not an expert on audio effects, my question to you fellow editors is.... what audio effects or procedures do you recommend to clean up this audio, there is no background noises (its clean), it just sounds a little "over modulated" I guess, it just sounds rough, as if it was recorded on a phone (well it was!)
If anybody had experience with a similar situation Id sincerely appreciate the advice. Please keep in mind Im not an expert on Audition so if you can help me out please do so with a very precise explanation.
Thank you!

It may sound a little like ryclark is joshing with you, but I'm afraid he isn't.
You can't ever process a recording to make the quality better than the original. You may be able to reduce the background noise a little, and alter the frequency response, but the distortion inherent in it remains, whatever you do - there's no such thing as an un-distortion (this is what your over-modulated sound is) plugin. And I have to say that anybody who eventually figures out how to carry out this seemingly impossible task will clean up; it could easily be the most expensive plugin ever! So as he says, either re-record the lot, or add some trash to what you've already got. Or do what I'd do, and get somebody completely different to re-do the introduction. That, I'm afraid, is the most precise explanation I can give you about what you should - or indeed have - to do.

Best way to play audio in 24bit 48Khz WAV format?

Hi guys, whats the best way to play audio in 24bit 48Khz WAV format through FF? The format cannot be changed and the files are local. I was hoping the HTML5 audio tag would play it but it seems to be limited to 16bit. Is that correct? Whats the best way to get sound playing quickly?

Which media player plugins do you have?
Plugins like RealPlayer and Windows Media Player and QuickTime should be able to play such files if the player can play them if you open the files directly in the player.
Does it work if you open the file via the location bar?
I only have 16 bit 44kHz files, so can't test, but opening such a file via the location bar works.

(workflow question) - What is the best way to handle audio in a large Premiere project?

Hey all,
This might probably be suitable for any version of Premiere, but just in case, I use CS4 (Master Collection)
I am wrestling in my brain about the best way to handle audio in my project to cut down on the time I am working on it.
This project I just finished was a 10 minute video for a customer shot on miniDV (HVX-200) cut down from 3 hours of tape.
I edited my whole project down to what looked good, and then I decided I needed to clean up all the Audio using Soundbooth, So I had to go in clip by clip, using the Edit in SoundBooth --> Render and Replace method on every clip. I couldn't find a way to batch edit any audio in Soundbooth.
For every clip, I performed similar actions---
1) both tracks of audio were recorded with 2 different microphones (2 mono tracks), so I needed only audio from 1 track - I used SB to cut and paste the good track over the other track.
2) amplified the audio
3) cleaned up the background noise with the noise filter
I am sure there has to be a better workflow option than what I just did (going clip by clip), Can someone give me some advice on how best to handle audio in a situation like this?
Should I have just rendered out new audio for the whole tape I was using, and then edit from that?
Should I have rendered out the audio after I edited the clips into one long track and performed the actions I needed on it? or something entirely different? It was a very slow, tedious process.
Thanks,
Aza

Hi, Aza.
Given that my background is audio and I'm just coming into the brave new world of visual bits and bytes, I would second Hunt's recommendation regarding exporting the entire video's audio as one wav file, working on it, and then reimporting. I do this as one of the last stages, when I know I have the editing done, with an ear towards consistency from beginning to end.
One of the benefits of this approach is that you can manage all audio in the same context. For example, if you want to normalize, compress or limit your audio, doing it a clip at a time will make it difficult for you to match levels consistently or find a compression setting that works smoothly across the board. It's likely that there will instead be subtle or obvious differences between each clip you worked on.
When all your audio is in one file you can, for instance, look at the entire wave form, see that limiting to -6 db would trim off most of the unnecessary peaks, triim it down, and then normalize it all. You may still have to do some tweaking here and there, but it gets you much farther down the road, much more easily.Same goes for reverb, EQ or other effects where you want the same feel throughout the entire video.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Best way to adjust audio on Final Cut Pro 5 Quicktime Export?? Render files

What is the best way to adjust audio on Final Cut Pro, Quicktime self-contained export? Please note all render files and orginals master clip are gone. So adjustments will need somehow be made to the exported Quicktime file.
As always thanks in advance for your reading and replying to my post,

When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

The advice to go to Compressor left out the part that you may want to convert your audio to AC3 becaus ethe MPEG2 bitrate is probably too high for DVD specs.
This method is in the DVDSP manual and it's in the Compressor manual, both difficult to locate, but easily searchable.
Here's what I'd do: Export the timeline form FCP in the native sequence settings, self-contained. Bring that self-contained movie into DVDSP and let DVDSP handle the transcode.
The advice to go to iDVD is even easier.

Using final cut studio what the best way of getting a mini disc in to FCP?

I do some weddings and record some audio on to a mini disc recorder ( the small ones . On my avid liquid edit suite I just used to run it in live or ingest it on a 2 hour timer, and just record audio.
What the best way to do it with final cut studio and final cut pro?

Is there a reason you can't do the same on your mac system? What outputs does the audio recorder have?

Best way to handle audio and video?

Can someone give me suggestions on best way to handle audio and video clips. 2 issues:
Audio- I want to avoid problems for visitors who may need to install something to listen, and would like them to be able to remain viewing page while listening. I understand how to set up the Iweb player option, and I understand how to simply link to a mp3 file that relies on the visitors player. I'm thinking I need to "embed a player" (?) which is something I haven't dealt with yet.
Video- I have a link to a .mov file. It plays it in either a real small box, or if you enlarge it , the image deteriorates. Is there a better way to handle this?

Yes that should work for what you want.

Whats the best way to go about learning C?

I'm an almost complete noob when it comes to programming. I did write a few simple pascal programs about 10 years ago at school, thats about it.
What I hope to achieve is (hopefully) not that complex, but I'm not sure where to start learning. My reason for wanting to learn is this: I really love MOC (music on console) but I ended up wanting a GUI player which still worked without the mouse. Every one I tried just isnt a patch on MOC, IMO, or just has one or other feature that doesnt work without a mouse. So it occurred to me, I have the source code for all these GUI players and the source for MOC, perhaps I can "modify" MOC and create a GUI version, or alternatively write some kind of front end to MOC.
So far, I have had a go with Glade and Anjuta IDE, but my knowledge of C being almost nonexistent is making things tough. I'm probably trying to do it wrong anyway, my thought was to create a GUI in glade and make it call functions from the moc source... :?:
So I need a crash course in C programming with Glade (I think?) and I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is.
Any tips on how best to learn? I ask here because you all seem to be the most knowledgable group I can think of

I'm not trying to discourage you, but the idea of Frankensteining all that C source into your own custom GUI music player is likely to cause nothing but hours of frustration. C is a great language for system programming, but for most application software it's far too low level and for most beginners it's far too dangerous (it lets you do bad things that can kill your app in dozens of intersting and extremely hard to debug ways).
What I would suggest is that you first off break the problem in half. Use a client/server approach. The server does all the low-level heavy lifting of decoding/decompressing the music files and sending them to your audio subsystem. Something like Music Player Daemon (MPD) is perfect for the server part and is specifically designed to be controlled by a separate client program.
Then all you have to do is write the GUI client of your dreams. For that I would recommend something like Python plus the GUI library of your choosing (Qt, GTK, wxWidgets, etc. all have nice Python bindings). Python is a far easier beginner language than C and can do much more work with much less code. You'll spend less time mucking around looking for memory leaks and invalid pointer references and more time actually making your GUI do useful work Oh, and there just happens to be a Python MPD client library so the task of communicating with the server gets even easier.

Best way to rearrange audio slices?

What's the best way to move audio slices around? Is there a simple way to do that using flex time that I haven't discovered yet? I usually do alot of snare replacing on live drums, taking one hit where the drummer hit hard, and pasting it in to replace weaker hits. There doesn't seem to be a way to grab a flex slice with the mouse and move it around ...
I've used the new drum replacement feature on L9 and it works well, but was wondering if flex audio offers a better, more elegant way to move slices around other that just cutting and pasting them the "old fashioned" way.
Thanks

Greetings,
You could always try to convert your loop into an EXS24 instrument and move the midi notes around. I can totally see what you mean though. It would be nice to simply re-order or replace the slices right on the arrange window. As for converting to EXS, the transients don't quite read as nice as I would like them to, so converting might still be a little unfriendly.
I still do it the "older" fashion way, by opening ReCycle 2.1 (its 2010 and still Rosetta) slicing my loop and importing into Logic. Only there can you rearrange at will within the imported folder that's created once you imported the REX. On the upside, you get complete control of your transients along with ReCycle's stretch algorithm.
I second the ability to rearrange flex (slice) transients directly on the arrange window.
Hey, it could happen. Crazier things have.
Cheers

Best Way to copy audio books

Hi
What is the best way to copy Audio Books. I just bought all the Harry potter on CD's. I have a 30g 5th gen IPOD had it for 2 month. Upgraded ipod to 1.2 and iTunes 7.0.1.
Everything is running fine.
Thanks,

Hello again,
I went and checked PDF document properties. The document was created by an application called (3B2 Total Publishing). It's the application that the printing press used to creat the PDF file. Unfortunately I don't have the source document and the printing press claim they don't have any source files but used in-house applicatin to create the PDF book.
I checked fonts used in the PDF file and I found 17 fonts named T1 to T17 and all (Type 3) fonts. I'm seasoned IT engineer but no experience in publishing. So, no idea whether or not this information is usefull to find a way to publish these books in epub.
Cheers,
Abdul
