Editing Music to Video in Final Cut Pro HD

Hey all,

Im pretty new to this software so hopefully u guys can help.

I want to stip the music off various types of video but keep dialogue and eventually add my own music. Is this possible using Final Cut? What about Soundtrack? Does it have to be a particular kind of video?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Matt

Matt,
If the master video source you have contains dialogue overlayed on top of the music (ie: one track) you cannot seperate them at all im afraid, the only way would be if the music track and the dialogue track were a seperate mix which will not be the case with standard VHS/Video 8 or a DVD. You can seperate the Video from the master audio, but thats about it im afraid.

What is your source material from - VHS?

you could go back to the audio guy and ask for seperate stems for the music and dialouge
