Title: Re: Capturing forgotten sound

In Media Composer you can simply add the desired audio tracks (Modify Clip) and recapture just the audio tracks. Simple.

Yes I did it once too, export to an EDL, edit in text mode the audio tracks back in, re-imported the EDL and recaptured. I suppose it is the only way if you have more than a hundred clips :-(

...and as far as I remember the main problem left with no solution is that all your clip names will be lost or cut short.

Although it saved my ass, it still was a pain in the a...

I hate it for those little problems [and at the end the customer made me kill all the direct sound and covered it all with music :-(   ]

It's one of the worst flaws in media management of DS, imho

 

I asked my partner if in a Media Composer style this was easier: at least he supposes it possible with dragging a clip to the capture-tool and then activate the audio-channels before recapturing.

If an export was possible in a format that conserves the clip names and tape names correctly [OMF/MXF or  AAF] the jump to a Media-Composer style could help... while capturing twice?!

 

 

Courage...

Unless someone has figured out a new "Verreault" for this, then there is no easy way. I remember someone saying to export and EDL and manually add the audio tracks, but I have never done this, so I'm not sure.

I have done this before too. (sucks doesn't it). I opened the dig tool and re-logged the clips by entering the TC from looking at the original clips, but make sure to select audio, then recapture them all. Not really easy, but a way to do it.
Good Luck

Hi

I've just captured a load of video clips from a couple of tapes by shuttling through and grabbing the best bits...unfortunatley I forgot to choose any audio patching and have therefore captured video only.

Now then, is it possible, without manually and tiresomely going through the tapes again to batch recapture the clips but with embedded audio?

I've tried to purge one of the clips and then recapture with both video and audio selected but this didn't seem to bring the audio in.

Am I on a hiding to nothing or can my clever DS Nitris help me?
