  • Removing audio tracks from digitized footage without recapturing?

    Posted by Bluewingoliver on September 25, 2006 at 9:14 pm

    Is there an easier way to do this without delinking, modifying, and redigitizing everything?

    For example, if the footage was captured with 4 audio tracks, and I only want 2.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes,

    Use the media tool to find your clips. Highligh and hit delete. when the dialog box appears, you can select the tracks you want to delete (only 3 & 4 ibn your case). The clip will still show that it has 4 tracks with a 3 & 4 offline.

    And then you can always subclip the remaining clip to be V1A1A2 if you don’t want to deal with audio tracks 3 and 4 on the source clips.

    I’m curious–why do you need to get rid of two tracks? Rather than go through the trouble of removing two, just leave them but don’t patch them in when you edit. Audio takes up very little space, and it hardly seems worth the effort to delete two tracks when you can, simply, ignore them. Again, just curious.

    I usually just ignore them as well, but they annoy me ever so slightly at times. Mainly, I was curious as to how to do it. 🙂
