  • Extracting audio from avi file problem

    Posted by Tiffany Mulcahy on November 27, 2007 at 5:42 am

    Hope someone can help 🙂

    I tried to extract audio from an avi file and it seems to extract it at half pace – very slow audio. I had a go at it in Multichannel and it extracted the vision perfectly but still the audio was half the speed it should have been.

    Can anyone help me out with this dilema – is there an ‘option’ that needs to be ticked. I am running an old version of Audition (1.5)

    Your help is greatly appreciated
    cheers

    What kind of avi file, avi is a generic term for many different types of audio video combinations. If you don’t know what type of file you can download g-spot from the net, it will identify the file parameters.

    It sounds like your video is running at – for example, either
    50 or 60FPS – but Audition is importing the audio at regular
    25FPS (PAL) or 29FPS (NTSC) settings.

    If you speed up your audio by 200% in Audition in may solve
    the problem.

    Effects – Time/Pitch – Stretch – Speed Up – Ratio dailed to
    ‘200’(%)

    This problem is much easier to solve with an edit suite.

    THanks both of you for your reply

    I was going to try the speed up thing next but I was unsure how easy it would be to sync up the audio but there is no harm trying

    Cheers

    If your video is running at 50FPS but the audio’s at 25FPS
    it’ll sync up perfectly. If not, then you’re in the realms
    of pulldown and audio drift – but again, not difficult with
    an NLE or After Effects.

    When you find out what your audio sampling rate is on the avi using the aforementioned properties determining program then click new on AA1.5 and set your audio sample rate to match. Then import the file.
    By the way as a very long time user of Cool Edit Pro 2.1 and AA 1.5 AA 2.0 AA 3.0. Consider yourself lucky you haven’t upgraded. I have already lost $200 on the stupidity of Adobe’s upgrades. 1.5 still works the best!

    I have just downloaded the demo for 3.0 to see if I wanted to purchase the upgrade, I think I am stickin with 1.5 … I have been slaming 2.0 all year, to the point that a tech working on 3.0 e-mailed me wanting to know why … So I answered in a few short words saying “because it sucks!!!!” The tech asured me that Adobe was working on all the problems that 2.0 had, but I think maybe they have created more … I didn’t really get into it but it looks like the single noise removal tool which I use a lot since I shoot an outdoors show, has been changed and doesn’t seem as user friendly as in the past where you highlight and click on repair trancient in your fav. files … 1.5 is solid and does what I want and need so I am thinking that newer may not be better … I have one other question for Adobe, Soundbooth???? What were you thinkin when you came up with this one????? That’s my story and I am stickin to it ……. WILLIE

    Soundbooth disappoints on just about every level, eh?
    Then again, so does Soundtrack, it’s natural competition.

    [willie toth] ” I have one other question for Adobe, Soundbooth???? What were you thinkin when you came up with this one?????”
    It looks like it belongs to the Elements series, some bright nickle squeezer probably figured they could make more money by eliminating Audition from the production bundles so you would have to buy it seperate.
