Final update. Sorenson squeeze 11 will take my multi tracked MOV file and create a multitrack MP4 file. Really, really easy. Thanks to those who helped out!

So there is an option in VLC player that lets me save this as a m4v file. I experimented and renamed it MP4 and hit save. Worked. Want to do more testing but this may have done it. Doesn’t feel right but so far it works.

In other words, in VLC player with the H264 I can choose track one or two. With the MP4 version it’s only one track.

So far, yes. When exporting from FCPX you don’t get the MP4 multitrack option like the H264 MOV format. Going to trying send to Compressor to see if there’s something there I can do. I’m not sure if this is a common thing or not. It’s new for me.

Here’s what I came up with. On the timeline, I detached my original audio from the video that came in. I duplicated this audio and copied it to the timeline on a separate line. I added in my narration audio description that was recorded locally. I assigned the original audio with the video to an audio role of dialogue. I then highlighted my copied original audio track along with my added in audio description and set that audio role as effect. For output, I selected share > master file (default) and selected settings. I selected format video and audio, video codec H264, and at the bottom roles as multitrack quicktime movie. When I export out, I can bring it into VLC player and if I select audio track one, I get the original track only. If I select track two, I get my audio descrption and the original track as well. Just have to make sure the H264 is acceptable. I cannot get the MP4 to do this.

The videos are for the blind. Basically I need to have the ability to offer a secondary audio track that would allow the client to turn it off an on for the visually impaired. I know that Youtube and Apple OS now have the ability to read this secondary, or AD channel, where you can turn it off and on. Comcast is also offering it through their X1 format. Comcast uses the SAP channel for it. If a program is not AD, then most likely you’ll get the Spanish audio track. On a DVD, very easy, but as an MP4, I’m struggling. I’m doing more research into this today, but wondered if someone had already done something like this. I not only need to figure out how to do this, but how to test it as well.

That I do not know as of yet. It’s a new client, and an odd one. They are to call me later today. What’s got me stumped is that they list codecs they can take and Pro Res 422 is one of them, yet they tell me they can’t read it. I’ll find out later and post here. Thanks!

Thanks! That’s what I though would be the best bet, but I always like to get some type of confirmation.

I had the JVC 700U, predecessor to the 790. I know own the Panasonic 370, traded the JVC in towards the 370 purchase. I am MUCH happier with the 370. Image is cleaner, you get a variety of different looks with the camera, and the AVC Inra codec is wonderful. I’ve been using that codec on my last couple of projects and it’s great. I would go for the Panasonic.
