I just know there is someone out the with an answer for me on this one. I want to strip out the audio of an AVI file and save it to the WAV format. I thought Premiere could do this, but I'm wrong or confused. Any utils out there to do this operation. Shareware or Commercial I don't care. Thanks, -David -David Robert Swoboda

Soundlab does this beautifully. Multiple soundtracks saved in AVIs can be saved as separate wav files, the compression scheme can be changed for each, and the combined soundtracks included in a single file (channels) can be individually renamed or deleted. no smoke. 😉 -dave

Thanks Dave, How is AniStudio? I have stayed away until it's out for a while longer. I've seen many messages on numerous bugs and choppy behaviour. SSounds like the features are quite good. By the way, I did find a way to get Premiere to do the WAV thing, but it takes several steps: 1> Load AVI files into premiere and set up a project. 2> Set all the Audio FADES in premiere audio tracks. 3> MAKE AVI movie with proper audio specs and set VIDEO = NONE. This creates an audio only AVI file. 4> OPEN new audio only AVI and choose EXPORT in FILE menu. There is an option for EXPORT WAV. Set audio specs and save new file. Wheeeew…. It works but it's a lot of work. -David. >>>Autodesk's Animator Studio to the rescue. Soundlab does this beautifully.

Dave, Just trying to do my part and make this Cyber-Community thing work. Thanks for the "skinny" on AniStudio. Now to hustle up some more work to pay for all the new toys…. -David. >>>i'm scribbling all this down for futre reference. thanks for sharing this, david! every bit of self-experimentation adds to the whole picture. 🙂 -dave<<< -David Robert Swoboda

David, >> I want to strip out the audio of an AVI file and save it to the WAV format. I thought Premiere could do this, but I'm wrong << Razor Pro will do the job. It allows you to split the audio and from there you can save it as a project with the wave file. -Mike

Mike, Which version of Razor are you using? How does it compare to Premiere in features. Have concidered it for a while but I already have Premiere and the DEMO at NAB I saw had the program crashing like crazy. I felt sorry for the guy running the demo as people walked out in droves. -David >>> Razor Pro will do the job.

Dave, >> Which version of Razor are you using? << The current version of Razor Pro is 2.0 and this is the Windows 3.1 version, I think the version you were watching at NAB was 1.0c and there has been many improvements since then (i.e. different Effects added, hot keys added to there command list, rendering speed improvement and stability). The program has one major feature over all other NLE's and that is the capability to thumbnail from the PAR. Another major feature with the PVR and Speed Razor Mach III is that they work with the DPS Play List feature, making for very fast edits by rendering only the frames which have an edit applied to them. -Mike

Hi Mike, Thank you for the info. I've been looking at the flyer from NAB every other week wondering if I should bite-the-bullet. Your comments are a big help. -David >>> The current version of Razor Pro is 2.0 and this is the Windows 3.1 version, I think the version you were watching at NAB was 1.0c and there has been many improvements since then (i.e. different Effects added, hot keys added to there command list, rendering speed improvement and stability).

David, why are you re-quoting large portions of the message you are replying to? Quoting is supposed to be done very conservatively where it would help the reader to understand a response, not in large irrelevant blocks. maybe it's your software. Please check. Thanks.
