  • How to Export a Low Quality Audio with chapters? (does copressor exports Chapter as well?)

    Posted by Ariel Brener on December 8, 2009 at 8:42 am

    Hey all – My directore wants to transcribe some of the Sequences.

    I have markers in this sequences for easier browsing.

    I tried to export Via compressor to AAC 128Kbps file – the file is indeed small but has to chapters.

    I tried to export audio stright from FCP
    EXPORT > QT movie
    unchecking the video
    Checking audio only
    And markers.
    The file opens great in QT player – with chapters – but the file is very big.

    Can I use different compression (like AAC 128Mbps) but still keep th chapters?!

    If you have two equal length tracks, the uncompressed audio and the AAC track you should be able to open the file uncompressed track in QT pro player and in movie properties copy the text track from one file use the Add to Movie function to paste it to the other. I’ve not tried this with an AAC file.

    All the best,

    Wow it worked!

    I’m fraustrated that this is the only method to do it – bcause its very long and cumbersome

    For each import file I create and there alot of them – I need to export two files
    One WIth chapters and not compressed.
    the other copressed to the format I need.
    that open both of them and copy the chapter data and create a third file
    OMG

    I would expected more from Apple.
    I’m new to FCP but I get very fraustrated from bunch of simple things that should be there but there isnt!

    Such as Maintaining Audio pitch when changing video speeds…
    I had this in Premiere for years!!!
    Or the simple task of searching Markers! no way to do it! just if I creat subclips which is not what I need!

    🙁

    sorry – just blowing off steam…

    You can send to Soundtrack Pro and using it’s Podcasting features, do what you want.

    Soundtrack Pro can understand FCP markers and turn them into Podcast chapters. You can also export compressed audio.

    Try this:

    Send your sequence over to Soundtrack Pro: Send to STP Multitrack Project. Your markers will be visible. Now show the Podcast Track. It will appear below the Video Track. Duplicate the location of your video markers over to the Podcast track using the Blade Tool, or Shift+Command+M at the location of the playhead.

    Now from the STP Menu: Export – FileType to Podcast/AAC file. Press the Podcast tab and select the Enhanced (images) option. This will output an audio only AAC file with a video still from the start of each selection (chapter). You can customize what chapter data is displayed in the STP Details tab prior to exporting. Just make sure you have the Podcast track selected prior to editing.

    As far as searching for markers in FCP, have you tried right clicking a marker? The pull down menu will display each marker for easy access.

    -paul.
