  • Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

    Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.

  • Can you generate separate audio tracks from a Multi-Output Instrument?

    Is there a way to use the "export all tracks as audio files" function and have the multi-output assignments generate separate audio tracks? There doesn't appear to be a way to do this.
    Ideas?

    I think you'll need to bounce them out, or record them via busses...

  • Different Audio Tracks when you import DVD VOB Files

    I imported some vob files from a dvd and it only gives me the first audio track in premiere but i need the 2nd audio track. How do i tell premiere i only want the 2nd track?

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Colin Brougham wrote:
    ... would like to know for the future how to resolve this issue.
    If there is no way to get the 2nd audio track then i would consider that to be a bug that hopefully Adobe can fix in next patch.
    Ideally when you import a vob fileset premiere should automatically drop all the audio tracks into the timeline, not just the first one.
    Don't use a DVD, plain and simple. The fact that we can edit this stuff at all is just a handy shortcut that works most of the time. I suspect that, given the nature of the material and the far greater precedence for native editing of professional camera sources, this is about as good as its going to get. You can certainly report it as a bug (which its not) or request it as a feature, but I sincerely doubt that this would be given a great deal of priority.
    I'm not saying this just to be a jerky naysayer: the fact is that there is limited time and resources that go into development of each point release and each full version, and the things that benefit the most people have the greater likelihood of being fixed or included. I'd be surprised if even 1% of Premiere users needed this functionality. Believe me--I've wanted dozens of things that I know won't ever make it into the program, simply because they won't benefit many people. But make a feature request and see what happens...
    wow??  what a terrible, mean, and unnecessary negative response?  "jerky naysayer" ??  never heard that term, but it sounds accurate.
    Thats like walking up to someone and saying "i dont mean to be cruel, but your fat and ugly"
    anyways, not sure what your point is, other than you have a crystal ball that tells you less than 1% of the premiere users in the world ever need to grab a b-roll from a dvd and i think i could find plenty of people who would disagree with you. I have been doing digital video editing for 20 years and been using premiere for about 15 years now i think since it first came out. I work at a tv station with lots of other video editors and we have all needed to pull a clips off dvd's many times in our lives. Im sorry that i dont have an XDCAM HD video tape of the first moon launch to capture, so for now i have to grab a clip from a dvd.
    Thanks for your attempted "help" but i'd rather you not hiijack my thread by negating my questions and requests. My company has purchased probably over a million dollars in adobe software licenses over the years and there is nothing wrong with my opinions and requests.
    thanks

  • Why are forms or passwords not filled, when I imported them from Safari?

    I've used the Import function to import "saved form history" from Safari, twice already, both times it says it completed the task, yet whenever I go to a site requiring passwords or forms filled out, nothing happens, & I must manually fill everything out! Why is this not working?

    The form history will not include passwords. Firefox can not access the passwords from Safari so can not import them.

  • Why do my .NEF files show as being damaged after downloading from my CF card into Lightrom.

    Every once in a while one of my DNG files will not open in Lightroom. The message reading that the file may be damaged or corrupted. I try to open in Photoshop and I get the same message. I can not open the file no matter what I do. All of the other files from the same CF card open just file. Just one file out of the bunch. Does anyone know why this happens?

    Definitely a hardware problem. Could be the camera card, or the card reader/USB cable/USB port or even the hard drive or memory. Definitely try importing using different hardware or even on an entirely different computer.

  • How can I 'join' audio tracks when importing audio book?

    HELP!!
    In the latest version of iTunes, 11.0.1, I can't find the 'JOIN Tracks' button which is needed when importing an audio CD to keep each disc treated as one book instead of storing each chapter as a separte entry.  Without this, I can't find a way to keep the chapters to play in proper order as each CD, starts with chapter 01. 
    Thank you for your help

    Join CD tracks
    When you import songs from a CD into iTunes, you can group songs so they always play together (even when you’re shuffling songs).
    Insert an audio CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive, and click No in the window that appears.
    When the songs on the CD appear in the iTunes window, hold down the Shift key to select the ones you want to join.
    Click near the top-right of the iTunes window, and choose Join CD Tracks.

  • Losing Audio Tracks When importing from 5.1 to 3

    I was capturing video on one of the new intel imacs in FCP 5.1. Afterwards I'm importing the files into a project on my powerbook g4 with FCP 3. For some reason I only get 1 audio track when I import the files.
    The files on my imac all say 1V and 2A and have the two separate audio tracks. But when I import them on my laptop I get only 1V and 1A. I've tried everything I can think of and changed all the settings I can but can't figure this one out. Can anybody help me?

    This has been posted by others in the past, there seems to be changes in FCP 5 and/or QuickTime that make its media not fully-readable by earlier revs of FCP.
    I would recapture in FCP 3.

  • Is it possible to separate audio tracks and/or timecode on clips in browser

    I transcoded my AF100 clips with log and transfer and came out with all my audio in stereo tracks. There are two separate tracks corresponding to the two mics but they are linked. I know I can separate them one by one on my timeline, but I'm wondering if there's away to select all the clips and do the same thing in my browser, since I have to do the same thing to ALL my hundreds of clips.
    Similarly, I made audio tracks without timecode for my transcribers. Now I have to go in and set an auxiliary timecode starting at 00 for all my clips. I'm wondering if there's a way to do that for all the clips at once. I wish I had set the camera to start the timecode at 00 for each clip, but I didn't think of that in time.
    Thanks in advance for any help. This forum saves my life!

    I don't know much about your business except what you've said but my first impression is that you are way over-thinking and over-producing; your situation is unnecessarily complicated.
    I am finishing to DVD. I tried before production to figure out the best way to get these clips to my transcribers ASAP- the start to finish on this project is very short, and it was taking too long to compress clips stamped with TC and the Pro Res clips I am making via Log and Trasfer are huge and don't play well on every computer (all of my trasncribers are on PCs) Also, they are all in a country other than the one I was producing in, so getting them Pro-Res clips would have meant mailing lots of drives internationally. The easiest way to get the transcribers the clips turned out to be using Drop Box to send them audio clips. If you still think I'm over producing, do tell- I'm def not one who enjoys over-anything and if there is a more minimalist approach I'd love to know!
    You can, of course, create actions or macros, if you understand the programming, to run batch processing but only if all of the files can be processed in the same way.
    So, is there any way to set auxiliary timecodes OR to separate audio tracks on every single clip in my browser?
    And is there a way to get Log and Transfer to create clips that don't have the audio in stereo?
    Thanks

  • Why does iMovie remove the last half of my imported clips?

    I've noticed that when I'm importing clips from an SD card the window tells me "___ minutes and ___ seconds have been imported from ___ clips." but when I go to view said footage, only the first half of the each clip is there. Literally to the second, iMovie stops at exactly the halfway point of the clip and just completely removes the last half. What's going on? Please help.

    Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
    Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

    No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault.  And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
    The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

  • How do you export separate audio tracks for Pro Tools?

    I need to give separate audio tracks to my sound mixer but am confused on how to do so in FCP X.
    So far I've:
    Set the dialogue roles and stems for each character
    Then I went into Master File>Settings
    Selected:
    "Format: Audio Only"
    "Audio File Format: Wav File"
    "Roles as: Audio only as separate files"
    "Dialogue"
    Sara
    "Stereo"
    And when I export and listen back to the wav file, there is either no audio or I hear select dialogue.
    The only thing I can think of that I am doing wrong, is that each characters dialogue is not on the same track like the picture below. The tracks highlighted is of one character's dialogue that I am trying to export onto one linear track to export into Pro Tools.
    Can tracks be assigned in FCP X? Or is there a crucial step that I am forgetting tthat explains why the audio for each character is not being exported.
    Thanks!

    If you're dumping audio for ProTools, you should be able to export XML for use in PT. Haven't done it myself, but the option's been there for a while now. You should be able to find instructions easily.
    If you want to stick with making Roles work, I suggest making sure the roles are assigned properly to each clip. Kind of a super pain in the neck, to go one by one, but ... that's the way. There are key commands for the three default roles, but if you've created custom ones then it's more time consuming. Is that 'Sara' one a custom Role that you've created?
    My only thought is you have compound audio clips there. Maybe go in and set the roles on the individual files inside the compound clips. Dunno...
    The visual organization shouldn't matter (one track above another). That's the X way.
    ((In your picture, you say you have some files selected. When I select, I get a yellow border; yours are light green and dark green. What is that?))

  • Import 2 separate audio tracks

    If I import into FCP off of a camera that recorded two separate audio tracks, why aren't they separate?
    On Ch2 I used the nat sound mic and I used a separate mic on Ch1 to record interviews. They were definately different when I was listening on my headphones, but now both Mono tracks, 1 & 2, are the same. The nat sound is way too loud.
    Any advice?

    It's pretty simple. IF you captured as channel 1 and channel 2 audio (not stereo) FCP set them up as mono tracks that are both panned to the center in the stereo field. To get a more discrete listening experience, pan one to the left and the other to the right.
    Unless you are an audio whiz, it does not make sense to use both of those tracks in your final mix, because you risk phasing problems, where one track tends to cancel out parts of the other.
