Adding audio file to already compressed video
Hello People!
How can I add an audio file (.mp3) to already compressed video file (.mov)inside APremiere 1.5?
Also, I wouldnt want to compress the video file once again, Im satisfied with the curent qulity/size that I got from Sorenson Suite.
So its basicly, adding the audio to .mov file, and not touching the original video file. -

What do you mean?
Help files?
I looked, can you be more specific? -
Did you know that you can have more than ONE audio track, that you can import files and put then on separate tracks, etc. These are such very, very basic questions, that I suggest you start reading the manual and follow some training or read some tutorials on the basics of NLE.

Harm,
The RTFM responses aren’t useful. Cease responding if that’s all you’ve got.
On this issue, this question is not a dumb one…a Sorenson file will need to go onto the timeline with the Premiere Pro project setup set to accomodate the file natively…in other words you’d have to set up a custom project setting (this part IS in the manual), but I don’t believe you’ll get it to edit Sorenson without recompressing. Certainly the mp3 will have to embed in the file, which involves recompression.
It would be best to lay the new audio into the original project and re export to the same Sorenson settings, otherwise editing the Sorenson and mp3 files directly will almost certainly require recompression of some sort.

Thanky you man!
I tried the folwing also:
I imported my png. sequence to Premiere. Add it to the timeline.
I imported the .mp3 file, and also add it to the timeline.Went to export options and selected Microsoft .avi, since this file could be imported into SornesonSuite
Video compression: none
Audio compresion: noneOpened the SorensonSuite and imported uncompresed .avi (has also music in it)
Selected the quicktime video filter and also the audio filter —> and this is where the things go down…The video compression is beatifull, but the audio is geting compressed TWICE, since it was already compressed (.mp3 file), the quality of the music is VERY LOW!!Now the getaway would be if I had .wav file of the track, or if Sorenson could export uncompresed audio file, like Premiere can.
So, any other ideas or suggestions… -
None? 🙁

Yeah well, what can we say? There is a reason why the files are so nice and small…there is a lot of information that has been thrown out. To keep working in that compression type will simply continue the trend.
There is a reason why many of us have a small fortune invested in these edit systems…I just purchased a drive array that cost more than the last car I bought…

Lol…… Tim, your comment caught me right in the middle of a similar decision. I’m afraid my “going green” is going to be delayed by my “need for speed”. 🙂

Yeah…HD changes everything. There are cheaper solutions that will give you a drive system that may theoretically perform well enough for uncompressed HD, but only if it operates at the quoted peak performance of the manufacturer, which never happens…and few of these drives are tested with anything other than a token amount of data. they slow down considerably when they’re full. Also I invested in a system with some failsafe capability (Raid 5 at this point), which makes quite a difference when people are paying you to get projects done.
