Cannot hear audio on imported video track
Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2021 1:36 pm
Hello Folks,
I know the answer is probably something obvious, but... I can't hear the audio on a video I imported into DP. I converted the video from MP4 to H264, it plays back ok (I see the video moving in the Movie window). I can see the audio signal in the meter in the Master Fader, but I do not hear anything. I tried switching the output from Main Out Stereo to Built-In Output, which resulted in no audio signal at all in the Master Fader's meter.
I'm a greenhorn when it comes to working with video, I used one of the templates, rather than my own templates, and I guess there are some major differenced in the settings.
A second question would be on how to separate the audio in the video so that I can add some voice-over and a little sidechain ducking to keep the levels under control. Then bake it all back together for export.
If anyone has or knows of a good tutorial on all of this I would be greatly appreciative. I checked Groove3 but they don't have much.
Vitals:
DP 10.1.8
Mac Pro from 2009 (4,0 upgraded to 5,0)
