Audio Conforming messing up audio

So this is the second time this has happened. I start editing a file, cutting up clips, even exporting a few files and everything looks good. I take a short break, five maybe ten minutes, I come back and I play the source file and there's no audio. I look just below the timeline and it says "audio conforming." Ok, so I wait a couple of minutes until it's done. Well now the audio on the original file is out of synch. It skips around. I've tried rebooting and starting the project over, but it's still messed up. Any ideas?

Delete the cache files, then reopen the project so PP can rebuild them.

  • ENCORE CS5.5: Audio Conforming Is Eating Up My Hard Drive

    Hi guys. I am using Adobe Encore CS5.5 (Windows 7) for a DVD project. My project is pretty much a series of audio files synch with .PSD images. In other words, I do not use real video. Rather, I Use Images wity audio running in the bagground of the timelines.
    Encore keeps conforming (non-stop) the audio files of my project, and it's eating up my hard drive space at lightning speed, say 537GB of free space in like 30 mins or so.
    After much research, I found that the Media Cache Files Folder is being loaded with replicas of my audio files with the following extensions .ac3 48000.cfa and .ac3 48000.pek
    I use seperate hard drives for both my C: drive (for software) and D: (for my project files files). As I stated above, I have plenty of room in my C drive, but Encore keeps eating up the free space, this, of course, while I have my project running.
    I resaved the project with a different name. I even re-installed Encore, and the result is the same: Audio keeps conforming and the Media Cache Folder is loaded. When I empty this folder, I get my HD space back, but the process keeps on going. For those who do not know, the Media Cache Folder can be accessed in Encore from Edit--> Preferences-->General -->Media: Media Cache Files --> Browse or directly from C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common/Media Files, where "Username" is your Computer's User Account name.
    This is by Far the most annoying software glitch I have ever seen in my life. I am so frustrated. My project is quite complex and I don't want to start all over again.  Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have 6 timelines. The total program length, as shown in the build tab, is about 3GB used. And it's a DVD project, not BD.
    I use MP3 files and I can see the audio keeps conforming from the Progress tab. There's a Stop button,but it's grayed out, so I can't stop it. The setting I am using to transcode is a3c as you mentioned.
    The funny thing is that I even deleted the project's audio files from the timelines and Project Assets as well. At this point the audio files don't even exist in my project, and yet the Progress tab shows the audio keeps conforming and my hard drive keeps being swallowed by this monster. That's driving me Nuts!
    Originally, and of course, the audio was Untranscoded. I performed the transcoding and yes, PSD images are brought directly as asssets into Encore. I probably should have done this from Premiere, but a) I have never used Premiere, and b) I was just learning how to use Encore by watching some video tutorials.
    The thing is that my project was complete and everything was set, including audio conforming. I even outputed a disk image, which I then burned into a DVD. At the time I did this my project was still somewhat small as I just wanted to test the whole process with just a few files. The thing is that at this point I didn't realize what was happening in the background with my hard drive's free space until I later got a Windows warning message of low disk space. And that's when the saga began for me.
    Once again, thanks for your help.

  • Audio conforming nightmare - Premiere 2014 - Mac OS 10.9.5 - AVCHD

    We shoot a lot of AVCHD and I've often had audio conforming problems but I think it is actually worse in the latest version.
    I did a four camera shoot of a guest lecturer yesterday.  I archived all four cards (entire cord structure) and then wisely put them onto our pristine backup because I know Premiere 'touches' source folders.  Then I brought them into Premiere and waited for the clips to conform.  After they did **none** of them had any audio (even though the original files were fine).  I couldn't find any evidence of conforming files in the STREAM.  Where is that information stored? 
    I decided the easiest thing to do was just to trash the project and start again.  This time I imported each card individually, waited for it to conform and checked that the audio was there before I brought in the next card.  The first three went in fine; the last one did not.  The audio conformed but it sounded garbled, like it decompressed wrong.  Also, it stopped about halfway through even though the audio on the card was fine. 
    Finally, I connected to our pristine archive to retrieve the original, untouched files.  That's when I noticed that the files in the local, Working Scratch, folder were about 2 gig bigger than the original files in the Pristine Archive for the cameras that *had* conformed properly.  Clearly Adobe is storing something in there somewhere but Apple, in their infinite wisdom, has determined that I don't need to know what is it or where it's been put!  Help!  If I could find the files I could trash them locally and re-conform.  Thank goodness for the Pristine Archive and I *always* put stuff there before I start to edit but... um... other folks don't.
    Where does Adobe store the 2 gig of conforming info and why won't Apple let me see it?

  • AUDIO ALL MESSED

    I've had 2 Zen Micros up 2 this point. The first one i got was from christmas from amazon.com (it was new, out the package & everything), and a month later, the audio is messed up. Every time i tried to listen 2 a song, all i hear is garbled noises, or sound will only come out of one channel. It's not the earphones, cuz i tried over 0 different earphones, even Seinheiser earbuds, and through all of them I hear the same garbled noises instead of my selected song. I returned that one and got a brand new one and 3 weeks later, the same thing happened. Can I get a refund or something cuz this shouldn't happen 2 times in a row, and i'm not gonna see if 3 times is the charm.

    You would have to contact Customer Support directly to discuss a replacement or refund:

  • Audio conforming failed check media cache preferences

    I took my computer home from work to do some work over the weekend. yay.
    When I launch AE cs3 it says "audio conforming failed check media cache preferences"
    I go into preferences to try and change the location, but cannot as the network paths are not there, as I am at home, not at work on the network.
    The browse folder dialog does not let me browse to a new location. it is blank.
    So I am using up the time I don't have trying to fix this! Any help or advice appreciated.

    I recommend you check your network settings. You should create different network environments for home and office use. It seems Vista in your case is applying rules and limitations from your work to your home environment and thus UAC prevents you from doing anything. Simply disable/ delete any network connections and have Windows re-instate them. Also try to trash the AE prefs and manually delete all files in the media cache (Users/Lloyd/Documents/Adobe). naturally also check whether your user account has sufficient priviliges and permissions. Make sure to at least run as "Power User" or otherwise you may not be allowed to create new folders or initiate other system operations.

  • Why Audio Conforming?

    I'm just curious as to why Encore has to conform AC3 audio files. The Encore 2.0 Help Center has no info at all on audio conforming.
    What is the purpose of the conformed audio file, especially if the file is in an AC3 file format ready for the DVD?
    Is the conformed audio only used for playback within Encore and nothing else?
    Encore 1.5 played my AC3 files without conforming, why does Encore 2.0 need to?
    My 2 hour long AC3 file is 175MB. The conformed file is 2.7GB! This is a waste of disc space and a waste of processing time. I often create 2 hour DVDs with 8 audio tracks using AC3 files. Now my project is going to require 21.6GB of space for conformed audio files and take about 16 minutes to conform the 8 AC3 files!
    Mike

    > Why indeed.....
    It's a nice feature to be able to listen to the sound as it will sound on DVD - maybe, but how many of you does that ? I somewhat thrust the encoder, specify the bitrate and pretty much know what I will get.
    It should of course been an option. And why 32bit sound ? Just to make the files bigger ?? Some say it's better because the prosessor is 32bit. Will Encore 3 then use 64bit audio to match the new prosessors ??
    All audio software can mix almost unlimited tracks of 16bit audio and many throws in a videotrack too....only Adobe does this conforming and the worst is that they are probably proud of it.
    (sigh)
    I refer you to Joe Bowdens original answer in the second post in this thread.
    i Encore uses the Premiere playback engine, which does not support AC3.
    Removing the conforming means one of 3 things:
    1 - A completely different playback engine, and given the complaints about the OS one, that is not a good idea.
    2 - No audio in preview at all.
    3 - Paying more money for Encore so there can be an AC3 decoder included. As this is licensed technology, it is NOT free.

    After effects warning: Audio conforming failed for thefollowing file:___________.cfa. Perhaps due to disk space.
    I am working on a project for an internship and I am editing a video I had the video files working and then I started doing some editing and animations for the video  and now for some reason when I open the file into AE I get this message so I tried starting over same message when I import the video files.

    I had this problem after converting some MPG's to avi's... the resulting filenames were 'foo.MPG.avi' ... the error message only seemed to indicate it was foo.MPG, so AE thought it was a MPG container type by parsing wrong, when it wasnt. i renamed all my files to just the avi, like 'foo.avi' and then imported into AE and it worked, no errors.

  • How can I just use a generic Realtek audio driver without "Beats Audio" interfering!?

    Beats audio is terrible! I just want to have a flat EQ with no stupid sound effects enabled. The only way I've been able to do this so far, is to uninstall the audio driver, and just use the generic windows one instead. But what I would like to do is use a generic Realtek audio driver, and completely remove Beats Audio from my computer.
    After uninstalling the audio driver that comes with my laptop, I tried getting a standard Realtek driver from their website. But when I install that, Beats Audio reappears! This is so frustrating! How can I uninstall Beats Audio? I want it gone forever! I can see from searching these forums that this is a common problem. But none of the solutions have shown how to just use a standard Realtek driver without this Beats Audio rubbish.
    Can anyone tell me how this is possible? I'll stick to the generic windows driver if I have to. But it would be nice if I could just use the Realtek drivers as they were meant to be.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. But you've misunderstood the question. I know how to uninstall the sound driver and just use a generic Windows one instead. But what I'm actually looking to do, is install the Realtek audio driver without Beats Audio. Thanks.

  • How can I create an audio CD from the audio only portion of my iMovie?

    Hello, I brought in about 50 min of Digital video into iMovie, I separated (split) the audio from the video, I unlocked the audio, I deleted the video, and now I want to just create an audio CD from the audio that is left.
    Can I do this? and if yes how? If I can not, how can I create an Audio CD from on my G5 off a tape on my digital camcorder?
    Any help would be apprecaited.

    This is how:
    Go to:
    'File'
    'Share'
    'Quicktime'
    'Expert Settings'
    'Audio as AIFF' or pick your brand of compression.
    Drag and drop the resulting file into iTunes.
    Enjoy!
    P.S. - You didn't need to delete the video but I think that'll be okay.

  • Need Audio help!  Interview audio won't play out to tape.

    My voiceover and Soundtrack audio sounds great, but my interviews sound terrible when I play out to DV to record to the camera.
    I checked the item properties and noticed that all the good audio is at 44.1khz while the "bad" audio is at 48khz.
    What can I do to make this play out?
    Thanks!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    What is the sequence's audio format? It should be 48 kHz as it's standard in video editing software.
    Did you capture audio interview from camcorder? What is the audio sampling format in audio menu? (32 or 48 kHz, 12 or 16 bit?)
    The audio mixdown render may resolve this problem but it's always a good thing to resample each audio file to match the sequence sample rate:48 kHz.

  • Multiple Audio out: usb dac audio out and hdmi out

    Good afternoon everyone, I have a 2010 mac mini with the following audio set up.
    - A usb dac (xtreamer) connected to my stereo amplifier
    - an Hdmi cable to the tv to get  video and audio diretcly to the tv
    Is it possibile by any chance to get simoultanesly audio output both from usb audio out and hdmi audio out???
    In "midi preference panel" I tried to create a "virtual" sound card but i am not able to get sound simoultanesly. or via hdmi, or via usb.
    this is quite disappointing because if I want to listen to music with the amplifier and then watching a simple video with mac mini and tv only I need to go back to the audio preferences and set up manually each time.
    Is it possible to solve this issue???
    Thanks a lot and gretings from Italy

    I can select ATV audio out (Airplay setting) to either my Airport Express or my computer so it must be transmitting via airplay. Using a combination of Airserver, Airfoil and Airfoil Speakers I managed to get the ATV audio content on both my PC and my Airport Express at the same time but it cuts out the ATV audio.
    My aim is to have a movie on ATV transmitting the Audio to ATV AND my stereo (which is hooked up to the Airport Express).
    Cheers

  • HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

    Hi,
    How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
    With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
    Thanks!

    Hello ingiorgio
    You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.
