2 asset on the same movie

[hewtra]

I've a problem with Maestro.

Is it possible to import on the timeline of a movie
two different video clip with their audio track?

When I try it, I succeded to put the two video tracks one
after the other, but when I do the same thing with the
audio track Maestro says me:

"there is already an audio track.
Do you want to substitute it with the new one?"

Obviously, what I want to do is to maintain the both track
one after the other.
What can I do?

TIA

Make the audio track into 1 single track. If your source is *.ac3 2channel, convert the audio into *.wav, add the two tracks together in an audio editing software of you choice (I use Adobe Premiere), then recompress it back to *.ac3 with Sonic Foundry Soft Encode. Now you have 1 big audio track with your multiple video tracks in which you can import into Maestro.

Thank you for the trick.
Is there some app that can join AC3 tracks without
convert to wav and then to ac3 again?

yeah there is an app to join .ac3 files.. its called dvdmaestro.. :)
put your 2 video tracks on the timeline .. then right click on the audio track and select synch audio track. this will take the 2 audio tracks that you want and automatically create a single .ac3 file
