You insert the wrong audio track-quickest way to change it

If you're editing along and you realize you put audio channel 1 from the
source footage into the timeline, and you actually meant to put audio channel 2,
but you don't realize this until 20 edits later, what's the fastest way of
fixing this?
I know you can match frame the clip that's there in the timeline, now the source
footage from which the audio came is in the viewer, and and you re-insert the correct audio channel. However, some editing systems give you the ability to just swap the source channels in a key stroke or two.
Is there any faster way to accomplish this in FCP?
Thanks.

You can do it in just a few keystrokes with match frame. Just patch it the way you want, match frame and overwrite. That's 2 keystrokes since when you match frame FCP automatically marks the IN and OUT. Obviously this is a bit more difficult if you have a lot of split edits..

  • Why I have to mute Audio Voice Recording Track always in order to subdue the voice recorded when I want to solo other tracks, audio or midi for listening.The other audio tracks don't sound without being muted. Please advise how to deal with this .Thanks

    Why I have to mute the Audio Voice recording track  ( the first voice track ) always in order to sudue its recorded sound while I want to listen to other
    tracks ( either audio or midi tracks ) in solo ?The other audio tracks with voice recording do not have to be muted in order not to  interfere with other
    tracks turned on solo. Can someone kindly explain this phenomenon and any way to fix this ?
    Thanks
    Dan

    Thanks, ATR,
    I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
    UPDATE:
    In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
    1. Put Video on Vid1 track
    2. Put Music on Sound Track
    3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
    4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
    5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie"  also tried with holding down Alt key.
    Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track.  A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
    6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
    Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of  Video1 track.
    7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
    Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
    I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
    UPDATE #2
    In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
    1. Locate video in Project Assets
    2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
    Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
    2b.  R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
    Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
    I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

  • I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

    I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

    Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
    Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
    Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
    This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
    If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

  • Multiple video tracks with the same audio track

    How do I get DVDSP to play the same audio track on 3 different video tracks without having to repeat the audio on each of the 3 video trax?
    Seems simple, but I can't find an easy way to do it.
    Anybody got any ideas?

    Yes they are all one continuous stream with the same GOP structure and everything. I had to export them as QT movies from FCP to get them all the same. I only exported the video though becuase the audio was going to be the same for all the tracks, & it was already done as AC3 through Compressor. Which brings up an interesting question; why does DVDSP convert the AC3 audio to .aiff which is a much larger format?
    I'm trying to go back and look at the encoding log from DVDSP to see what error it gave.
    It doesn't give the error in the log since I had shut down my computer last night, so I guess I'll have to try the build again and see what error it gives.
    I'm looking at the parsing files and .m2v files that DVDSP did during the build, and it parsed all 3 angles, and finished the .m2v file of the medium shot, including 6 minutes past the point I told DVDSP to stop it. (When exporting the QT movie from FCP, I had forgotton and encoded the whole 2:30:00 show instead of the 1st 1/2 of 1:16:47:15, and then just adjusted the end of the clip in DVDSP).
    The wide shot and Close up .m2v files, and the audio .aiff file were in the folder, but have nothing in them. The Video_TS folder and Audio_TS folder are also there, but with nothing in them, so whatever happened, seems to have happened in the medium shot encoding process.
    I'm pretty much over this multi-angle thing, and I'm going to start working on an edited version of this today because all I have to do is make the cuts between cameras, since the audio is already mixed. However, if you have any other ideas, please let me know.

  • How to revert to original, the extracted Audio Tracks with SoundBooth?

    How to revert to original, the extracted Audio Tracks with SoundBooth?
    I have installed the Adobe "MasterCollectionSuite-CS5"-ITA with PremiereProCS5 and SoundboothCS5.
    I made a few test with PremierePro Audio clips and used the option "Make a rendering and extract" with Soundbooth.
    I want know, after that operation:
    - Exists an option (a shortcut) to revert automatically the audio tracks from the extracted Soundbooth clips to the original audio footage?
    - In other words, I want return to the original audio timeline situation, prior to make the extraction with Soundbooth. Is it possible?
    - I know just one method:
    Click and drag the video clip from timeline and release the clip in the "Source"Monitor window. After that I can drag the video+audio at the same start-and-end point of the source and put it into timeline, at the same place...
    But with this method I loose the applied effects and transitions from the edited clips in the timeline...
    Exists another method?
    Thanks!

    Dear  <http://forums.adobe.com/people/Shai+Schcolnik> Shai Schcolnik
    After you have edited the Audio file in Soundbooth, you should:
    1)      Select the Original Footage in PremierePro > Project Folder
    2)      Select with RIGHT Click the Video+Audio Clip in PremierePro Timeline, and in RIGHT Click Menu choose “Replace/Substitute with clip” > “From Folder”
    3)      Now you can delete in PremierePro > ProjectFolder, the named Audio File “…_Extracted.wav” edited previously with Soundbooth!
    The new one is your original footage!
    Best regards!

  • Disabling the purple audio track in iMovie '09

    I have the purple audio track showing, and it keeps getting selected, but I don't want it. How do I get rid of it?
    Thank you.

    Normally you will not get a purple track attached. Maybe this is why it bothers you. It shows up when you right-click on the clip and select "Detach Audio".
    You can delete the purple track by selecting it and Edit/Delete Setlection as I mentioned before.
    You can get your normal audio back by opening the Inspector for the clip, then click on the Audio Inspector tab. The volume is probably set to zero. Move the volume slider back to 100% and your audio should be back.

  • Which will cause a higher cpu load, the sampler instrument or the original audio tracks?

    I have some piano that I wanted to loop. I had no problem using the convert track to sampler instrument.  My question is about CPU performance. Which will cause a higher cpu load, the sampler instrument or the original audio tracks?

    Hi Mesaboogiewes,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Ableton.com recommends disabling Energy Saver, fullscreen mode, and Exposé. I would recommend putting the 1Gb of RAM, you will find a better result. I suggest going to the Ableton.com website and looking for more troubleshooting issues.
    I hope that helps,

  • Recording through the Mac Audio Tracks rather than through the Mic.

    I figured this would be very handy since I'm just recording the sound from a YouTube video, I don't want to have to use the mic to record the sound, If it's possible to save the Mac Audio Tracks, which is basically anything that comes out of the speaker, to a file to be used by Garageband later? Or is there a way to record, not through the mic, but using the Mac Audio Track through Garageband? It would help because I realized when I recorded through the mic that I had to worry about everyone around me being quite for a few seconds only to realize that the fan was running full boar which made the quality terrible. Just looking for an alternative. Maybe a program that records the Mac Audio Tracks? Sorry for the long-winded post.

    I know a way around this as I had the same problem once. I bought a small lead with stereo mini jack to stereo mini jack which enabled me to connect the headphones socket to the line/mic in socket. This means that any sound your computer makes can be recorded directly using any recording application, including Garageband. No fear of extraneous noise as it is a direct connection not microphone. There may well be a purely 'software' method also but I can confirm that this does work anyway.

How do I get you to input the right number or can I edit my profile in some way and change the telephone number so you can either issue a new security code, or determine what my existing code is. I don't seem to have a 7 digit number on file anywhere.

    Hey Robin.T,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
    iPhone is disabled
    iPad is disabled
    iPod touch is disabled
    You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
