Movie Studio 2022 cannot separate multiple audio tracks

RickJames-Bish wrote on 12/13/2021, 2:23 PM

Just "upgraded" (questionable), from Movie Studio Platinum 17 to Movie Studio 2022 Platinum. In 17 I would add media, which was a recording that contained two audio tracks. It would automatically put the video and each audio track in its own row on the timeline. The most I would have to do is ungroups them. In 2022 it puts the video in one column and then I have select to view video and audio on separate tracks, which is no big deal, however it only put a video and one audio row. The two tracks are present, as I can switch between track one and two but I cannot separate them. I tried ungrouping, which it does ungroup the audio from the video, but it still only shows one row for audio and after ungrouping I cannot choose between track one and two. Need help because I record two audio sources for a reason. thanks

As John CB says, your questions are perfectly legitimate and "good" but they are not relevant to this thread, which is about accessing and using multiple audio channels/tracks. Hence, with apologies, I have hidden it.

Please do as John asks and create a new thread with your questions and the relevant additional information suggested.

Thank you.

Hello, after many years of using Sony Vegas MS16 I have now 'upgraded' to Magix Movie Studio 2024 Suite. Like many others I'm struggling to change to the new editing system but I'm slowly getting there!

One problem I have and can't seem to solve is clips having mono sound. My highly directional microphone records in mono on the left speaker track. The other track is vacant. In MS16 I could see both the recorded and empty track. A right click allowed me to combine them into a single track so that the sound came out of both speakers not just the left-hand one. How can I do this with MS2024? At the moment my edited videos just have the sound from one speaker which sounds odd.

Hi,

A right click allowed me to combine them into a single track so that the sound came out of both speakers not just the left-hand one. How can I do this with MS2024?

Not necessarily required, but recommended by me, always have audio and video go on separate tracks. See how to do this in my first reply to this thread here.

On the audio part, double-click to open the Audio Cleaning interface (or Alt+A or right-click, Audio functions, Audio Cleaning). Go to Stereo FX tab, open the dropdown, select Both channels = Left.

It's easier in Video Pro X.
