Can’t record a single audio track and export it to an audio file (e.g., .wav or .mp3).
This was a huge bug before (and I read conversations of similar problems back in 2016!) but we used to be able to somehow export an audio file if we placed some worthless video track as a placeholder before going to the deliver screen. I downloaded the studio 17 beta 8 yesterday and worked all day on 2 audio tracks (that I created in addition to a dummy video track due to the kluge approach described above that used to work) but simply cannot get the “Add To Render Queue” to activate and create a .wav or other audio-only file.
I’m using the new Studio Beta 8. Can anybody point me to instructions on how to create a project (ideally even with just a single audio track) that can export to a real audio file?
Just to see if maybe I was creating the problem by starting with the “dummy video track present” kluge, I started with a fresh new project, hit Ctrl+N to create a track to work with in the track area and pasted the audio track (from the file that wouldn’t activate the ”Add To Render Queue” button). It looked like this in the Editor:
(Note the .wav suffix in the audio track I cut and pasted from the earlier project's edit page audio tracks..looks like Davinci has the ability, just maybe not the will to export directly to a .wav?)
(Incidentally, you can see just above that I disabled the video track here but it wouldn’t work with it enabled either.)
When you go to “Deliver” it looks like this:
(You can only select from AAC and the “Add to Render Queue” button is disabled anyway.)
1. I desperately need to know a way to get this audio track out to the world where audio is handled properly…preferabley in a .wav format. How can I do that with this new Studio Beta 8? I would be happy just to get it out in some intermediate form that a real audio program could turn into a .wav file.
2. Is there a way to actually use Davinci to record and export directly to a real (solo, i.e., no video) audio file (e.g., .wav) by itself?
