  • Break Apart audio tracks

    Posted by Geoff Dills on July 2, 2011 at 2:08 pm

    Just finished watching all three parts of Michael Wohl’s excellent presentation to the LAFCPUG up on youtube. In part two at six minutes in he demonstrates how you can take a detached audio clip containing two separate audio sources and “break apart” the clip into two clips in the timeline. I’ve tried everything I can think of to duplicate that, but the best I got was the clip opening up after I made it a group clip and it opened just the two audio tracks in its own timeline. Anyone else able to break apart a detached audio clip?

    Clip>Detach Audio

    Is that what you need?

    Works fine for me. Either Detach it, as Nick says, then Break it Apart (Shift/Cmd/G) or Break it Apart directly. Either way you’ll end up getting your audio seperated out into separately editable clips.

    I have the detach part down, but I’m only shown one clip on the timeline, while in the video he shows how you can take that one detached clip and break it down further into its two individual recordings showing up as two clips in the timeline.

    I think I see what I was screwing up….needed to change the audio to dual mono before it would let me do it that way.
