Why won't both audio tracks appear on the timeline????

Hello,
here is a dumb question. When I drag my clips to the timeline only one audio track appears on the timeline and I know there are two track of audio. I must have accidently changed some settings. anyone know what's up?
Thanks for your help

Are both audio tabs connected to the timeline? Just to the left of the timeline are the V1 and A1 and A2 audio tabs from the source clips. Is one disconnected?

Is it possible to group video and audio tracks separately in the timeline?

Currectly tracks are ordered like this:
video
audio
video
audio
video
audio
Can I arrange them to look more like:
video
video
video
audio
audio
audio
Since I get to use both Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro frequently at work, I would find it more natural if audio and video were grouped separately.

You are welcome.
I find it interesting, as about 10% of the users of PrE would like to arrange the Audio & Video Tracks in the form of PrPro, however, about 10% of the users of PrPro would like to arrange them like PrE!
Personally, I find the PrPro arrangement (as you were requesting) to be the most logical for my workflow. I do my Video first, and like all Tracks grouped atop the divider line, and when done there, move down to my Audio. I still get lost and confused in PrE, because of the grouping there.
Now one little tip, that might help you a bit: one can Add, or Delete Tracks pretty easily. I have a Sequence (think multiple Timelines in PrE) Preset that gives me 4 Video Tracks, 1 mono Audio Track, 4 stereo Audio Tracks, and a DD 5.1 SS Master Track. This is the "average" of the normal Timelines that I work with. When doing an edit, where the extra Tracks are not needed, I choose Sequence>Delete Unused Tracks to "clean" things up a bit. Then, I am only looking at Tracks (Video and Audio) that are in use.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio tracks missing in the timeline viewer

Hello,
I am using Imovie 4.0.1 and have been working on a project for several months and now towards the homestretch, I have lost the ability to see the audio tracks that I added to the project. I am referring to the 2nd and 3rd tracks on the timeline viewer. This isn't a killer as I have completed all of my editing and am ready to export it to my camera (to then reimport, seperate audio, and then lock--to make sure audio and video matches up) The problem is that when I export to the camera, the audio comes and goes, and some of the video stutters at times. It seems that this all might be related. Has my imovie become corrupted? All of the projects that I have worked on in the past--that are still on this computer--exhibit the same thing i.e. I can't see the audio tracks and the editing arrows (and other items) have disappeared from underneath the viewing area.
I would appreciate any help.

com.apple.imovie3.plist is what you should have found because you are using imovie 4.
And, a new .plist should have been made by imovie when you re-launched it-so that's OK.
Sounds like you have enough HD space...are you sure you are using the Timeline viewer and not the Clip viewer?
The Clip viewer looks like this:
And the Timeline viewer looks like this:
(But these are screen shots from imovie 5 so don't let that confuse you).

Urgent editing crisis! Audio track A1 on the timeline has locked itself (not the 'lock symbol').

I can move the video footage but the audio is stuck. I get the red plus/minus (audio out of sync) when I move the video footage. I can't even right click on any of the files in the Audio 1 track, they are completely 'locked'. If I right click on the video footage that correspond with the A1 audio they have all ben 'on-linek'. Audio track 2 and 3 works absolutely fine and i can change length, delete and right click on them. What have I done wrong? Tried everything but can seem to find a solution.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Probably too late to look into your history panel. What about saving project in another name version and opening Auto Save versions?
thats all I got. Good luck

MPEG gets audio track truncated in the timeline

I havean mpeg produced in Adobe Media encoder ( from Premiere).
Plays and checks out fine until it is placed in an Encore Timeline and the audio track gets cut off at about 80% of the video.
eg The video and audio track match lengths visually when I drag in the mpeg file...until I Release the mouse. THen the audio track truncates.
mpeg duration = 1.20mins
Any thoughts folks?

It was mpeg 2 dvd. Ann
I haved just tried with different multiplexer ( m2v) and that works fine.

All audio tracks disappeared form the Timeline, but audio still works

Hi there.
I've been using Premiere for quite a while (I still have the 2.0 version), but this problem never occured before. I'm running Premiere on Win Vista.
I've been working on a project for a few weeks and eventually I got a version that was more or less final. Thus I tried to render everything a few times (Quicktime H264) but the render never succeeded because of an "API failure". Didn't manage to fix that, so I tried to render in wmv, just to check if it worked.
Well, it worked, but when render finished all the audio tracks had disappeared form the Timeline. I tried to find a solution on the web but couldn't find anything useful. No matters how much I scroll down and/or move the windows, the audio tracks just are not there. And the triky part is that I still can hear the sound when playing the sequence! I tried to add some empty audio tracks and Premiere apparently does it (it records it in the history), but no audio track shows up...
Any solutions?
Thank you

This sounds like a redraw problem, which is usually the fault of graphics hardware/driver. Try checking those.

Why do my EMPTY audio tracks playback ANOTHER audio track?

Why do my EMPTY audio tracks playback ANOTHER audio track?
Example: A vocal track (audio 2) being played through an empty guitar track (audio 1).
The vocal track is magically being played through the guitar track with distortion. WHAT possible feature is this good for and how do I get rid of this annoying problem? I looked at the reassign tracks menu and it doesn't say its connected or anything... I don't know if this has been addressed before on this site but I can't find the answer any where on Apple Discussion's website. Please help.
Thanks

A key concept to understand is that Logic is more flexible when it comes to "tracks" than most other DAWs.
For instance, most DAW use a fixed "one arrange track is one audio channel" approach.
Logic doesn't. You can have many arrange tracks all assigned to the same audio mixer channel (although only one will sound at a time).
You probably have two arrange tracks assigned to the same audio object (key command "New arrange track with same object") rather than creating a new arrange track together with a new independent audio channel (key command "New arrange track with next object").
Try this. Hit the + button at the top of the track list, and create a new audio track. This creates a new arrange track and assigns it to the next available audio object.
Move your second region to this new track - does that work as you expect now?

Urgent - and probably easy - audio tracks appear without faders

in my logic pro song i have 20+ instrument tracks, most with exs24's on them.
i also have 20+ audio tracks, but only the first 4 display with faders, 5-20+ display without faders, without plugins, and have no output
is there a way to get a fader, and output on these audio tracks?
please help, a client is coming over today!!

Ashermusic SAID -- " In your Audio Hardware and
Dirvers panel what is the maximum number of audio
tracks you have it set to? "
So I set it to 40, unchecked core audio and rechecked
it, and badda BING, its all good, nice one

You're very welcome.

Insert Editing, Why Won't Clips Appear In The Timeline?

Every time I attempt an insert edit, either via the "downward arrow" symbol or via "W" on the keyboard the clip appears in a secondary time/storyline below the Timeline, with a blank space in the main Timeline of exactly the same duration as the clip.
Similarly if I drag a clip from one part of the Timeline to another the clip appears below the Timeline with a corresponding blank space.
I do not want a secondary, or indeed tertiary storyline, I want all my clips to appear on the Timeline. I am not bothered about the length of the project or if I alter the length during the editing process.
Suggestions will be appreciated,
Ron

Couldn't manage that Tom, my hands aren't big enough BUT I have since discovered that what I thought was the Timeline is in fact a secondary storyline, with the Timeline, dark grey, below it. If I insert edit the clip appears correctly on on the Timeline with the two adjacent clips above on the Secondary line.
I have no idea how this happened. I started off my edit by by using the "append" arrow but the clips appeared and lined up together on this Secondary storyline.
A very laborious task in dragging each clip off the Second line and onto the Timeline. Nearly an hours worth of short clips!
I am about to start another project so will want to be certain to get all onto the Timeline. Perhaps my settings were wrong or I've inadvertently pressed the wrong key. Ron

Multiclips and multiple audio tracks playing at the same time

I've only just taken delivery of my first ever mac (only ever used PC) with FCP, and I'm loving it already! Done lots of reading and viewing of video etc etc, and it's not as daunting as I thought it might be. I have one question the books don't seem to answer, and I can only find one reference to this on this site, with no definitive response. FCP5 probably doesn't work this way, but just in case someone knows different......
I film and edit motorsport (karting) programmes for television in the UK, using multiple cameras. I usually lay all the video and audio tracks on the timeline, (synched) lock the audio for each (as it is engine noise, and I want it playing without abrupt changes at cuts as each kart passes each camera, whether in shot or not) then cut the video tracks and delete those video segments not required.
The most exciting aspect of FCP5 for me is the multiclip editing facility, which I have found very easy to learn and is going to save me hours of work! However, I want to know if there is a way of having each audio track from each camera used in the multiclip laid down on the timeline when you import the multiclip to the timeline from the viewer, in order that I can play each audio track from each of the cameras at the same time.
I know how to cut from angle to angle, leaving the audio from the selected angle as the one audio track playing, but I want all of the tracks to appear in the timeline and play at the same time. I know there's a bit of a workaround by locking the video and importing each audio track from each clip independently, but if you do have to re-synch one of the multiclips, this means the audio is not then synched with the original clip, which will have had an in point set before being imported in as part of a multiclip.
I can understand why you might want to keep audio from one camera only playing over the whole multiclip, or to switch between audio from each, but in my case I prefer all audio to play at the same time. The workaround is still do-able for me as I'm only talking about engine notes, which if they are a few frames out is not very noticeable at all, but I would like to know if I'm right in thinking I cannot do it the way I would like to?
Wish I'd used FCP from the start, but glad I've got it now.....especially with the 30 inch screen! It's 4.40am, been going over 19 hours straight and I'm still making comments like...."WOW, that's brilliant"...every half hour!

Why can you no longer see audio clip names in the timeline in CC?

This is very frustrating, so I'm hoping there's a solution. I need to be able to read audio file names within the timeline...especially music clips. Why would they remove this feature? Is there a way to get it back? And while I'm at it, why do you now have to expand the timeline tracks to be able to read the the track names? (I label all of my track names, but obviously don't want them all expanded just to be able to read what I labeled each track...that would be one fluster cluck of a timeline since I have a minimum of 10 audio tracks at all times!)
Thanks for any help on this issue! I just switched to CC v.8 yesterday and am trying to work out all the kinks.

Hit the wrench in the timeline and check Show Audio Names.

Can I convert tracks from one format to another so that the converted tracks appear in the various playlists of the originals?

I have a large number of tracks which I should like to convert from one format to another (aiff to Apple lossless). These tracks are distributed in a large number of playlists. Can I convert a track or tracks from one format to another so that the converted track appears in the playlist of the original track without going through a laborious and error-prone process of converting each track individually, determining the playlist of the original, and allocating the converted version to the playlist (or playlists, because in many cases the original track exists in more than one playlist) of the original track.

I do not believe iTunes will do this. The files created are essentially new media files, not regarded as replacements for old files. There may be ways to trick iTunes if you are good at editing library files but that would be more trouble than it is worth.
You can check the site below but I do not recall having seen such a script.

Help please...AE CS6 won't let me replace clips in the timeline

After Effects won't let me replace clips in the timeline.
I have selected the clip I want to replace.
I have selected the new clip in the project window.
I then option-drag the new clip to the timeline and it will only let me drop the clip in making a new track above or below the clip I want to replace.
It won't allow me to replace it.
I'm using CS6 on an iMAC 3.1 Intel Corei5 16GB RAM.
I've been using AE since 1996 and have not had this problem.
Can anyone help? ~ thanks!

This one actually shows the correct file highlighted in the project window - I'm trying to replace the png in the timeline with the AI file in the project window.
