switching off voice track making disk

wiers · Post by **wiers** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 1:17 pm

In videostudio 12, i have made a movie with 2 soundtracks, (the voicetrack i have used for a synchonisation track with a puls signal)
With making a disk of this movie, i dont want to hear this track ( switch off), does anyone know how this works.
In the preview mode you can switch it off, but when finalising it is back on.

Have you tried deleting it?

That is of course possible but i want to keep the original projectfile.
For the moment i have made a copy of the project and in that i have indeed deleted the track.
This is a way to solve it, but not really the way i would see it.

When you delete or edit anything in VS you are doing it "virtually" - the original clip is never changed. Therefore, your workaround was not necessary. But at least it worked.

If the pulse track you don;t want is in the timeline you can simply "mute" it.

Make sure you are in Project Mode, highlight the audio track, then click on the little speaker icon with the cross through it.

This should mute the track then you can render out the final project....

The other alternative is to first save the VSP project, then delete the track, render out to video, then afterwards close the project (.vsp) file without saving. The next time you open it the deleted audio track should still be in the VSP project (as long as you don't delete the original, or move it from where it was saved)

Thanks guys for your replies, i see there are many ways to solve this.
For Clevo, I have tried the first suggestion but it was still on in the screen to see the output before you burn.
When using the alternative, i assume you should switch off the autosaving mode?
