Playing with 30 Day Trial, can I do this?

Hi, I've tried to post this before, my CP shows that I have a post, but when click it, it shows post does not exist? Anyways, here we go again:

Hi All!

I'm a total new user to this product, and will buy it in a heartbeat if you guys can confirm and tell me what the limitations are with what I want to do. Ok, here's the scenario.

I am a football junkie and record football games with a Media server software called SageTV which outputs a MPG file. This upcoming season...if there is one...I plan to record the radio broadcast as well of the game and I'd like to add it to the MPG as a second track, so when playing I can switch between the tv broadcast audio and the radio hometeam broadcast.

Then I'd like to export/save this out and keep it as MPG (or .TS if I must) so I can edit the commercials with my favorite program to take them out with, videoredo. I guess I can remove the commercials with this product too, but babysteps I guess.

So far I've drug a test mpg into videostudio, drug a test mp3 into the Voice Track area, and then I choose create video file using mpg optimizer, which it's doing by design and making the mp3 like background music.

Anyways, can this product do this? If so, what are the limitations from my expectations mentioned above? And finally, can you point me to any video or anything to teach me how to do this if this is child's play? Or of course if any patient people want to type me up some instructions to do what I'm asking, I'd be forever grateful.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to your responses.

Sincerely,
James

Hi James

Welcome to the forums...........

Yes you can add voice-overs to your video file.

Add your video to the top track
Add the audio file to one of the sound tracks.
Cut each into sections, you now have multiply clips in both tracks.
Use the Scissors lower right of preview screen.

Mute your clips or adjust the 100% volume -- using the icon to the right of the digital clock, next to the Fade-in Fade out ramps.

View Settings Track Manager to add additional tracks

Mp3 audio

There have been some problems for some users, I would advise that you use Wav types.

Use Video Studio to remove the adverts.
Share Create Video File-Same as first video will create a new file using your original files properties.

There are many patient people using this forum

There are tutorials for X4 on youtube
Press F1 for help, read about working with audio.

Just for clarification James - when you say "so when playing I can switch between the tv broadcast audio and the radio hometeam broadcast." - - do you mean while playing as a DVD - or rendered out mpeg - if so then the answer I'm afraid is NO - VideoStudio cannot produce an output that will allow two switchable audio tracks. You can switch between audio inputs while editing so producing an edited mix in the final output - but whatever you decide is the audio while editing is the audio on the mpeg/DVD . If you just want to mix audio inputs plus maybe music at the editing stage then that is childs play for videostudio - but once you make the final output - what you have produced is what the user hears.

Is there such a thing as "Switchable audio tracks"?
Does this sort of feature exist? Just curious.
Any playback software or disc player remote I have only has a volume or a mute option.

Can you explain?

I'm looking to have it switchable like different language tracks on a dvd/blu ray, although I do not wish create a dvd or blu ray out of this.

Ideally, I would merge the "radio broadcast" of the game, which I can easily make into a WAV, and have it as a totally separate track like described above, then save/export it as it is with no compression/encoding to the video and still have my RAW 1080i or 720P MPG with a new track of commentary. So then I can play it in Media Player Classic Home Cinema and be able to right click on it, go to audio, and flip between TV audio track, or Radio audio track.
