saving a video clip w no audio

epirb wrote on 10/24/2005, 5:15 PM

I have captured a bunch of video clips that are video only no audio .
is there a way to change the properties so that when placed on the time line it does not include a blank audio track simalar to importing stck footage or backrounds?
I know I can bring to the timeline and choose video only but i would like to save the files less an audio track.

Thanks Spot thats what I thought, I have created a template "DV no audio" and will batch render the clips tonight.

... and, if the blank audio bothers you, just delete the audio track.

epirb,

Hope Wilma didn't bother you too bad.

Make sure you don't batch render with a "destructive" codec. Hate to see you reduce the video quality just to get the audio track to disappear.

Nope,
Wilma blew in and blew out in a hurry, we had winds up to about 60 -70 mph early in the am about 5 am, but by 3 pm the sun was shinning and the temp was down about 15 degrees to the low 70's !
But thanks for asking.
Actually , the audio track did bother me, they were small clips from outrigger cams on a sportfish, I actually rerendered them as DV just less audio, the quality loss in this rerender and then subsequent render in final projects will not be noticable with these clips and their usage. (plan on using them as PIP's -multi angle) same shot of the boat simultianeously from center-port and starboard.

If they were DV to being with and all you did was render without audio (no effects or such) then there is no loss at all.
