Premiere Pro CC audio pops then cuts out. HELP PLEASE.

Driving me nuts...
Read all the forums. Tried reinstalling, deleting .cfs files, changing audio inputs, everything.
What is happening is that when I play back, the audio will "pop" (like feedback, loud, distorted, sounds like its hurting my speakers) then just not play anything. Levels monitor will be firing away, waveforms are there. Matching back to source monitor does nothing. Totally silent.
When I quit I hear another pop as the program exits.
The rest of the computer has sound functions (iTunes, internet, everything)
Anyone?
Macbook pro 2011 - 10.8 - 16 gigs of ram - playing off secondary internal SSD drive. 4 tracks of sync sound. Thanks.
PS - just noticed a little warning triangle at the bottom right of the program that says "Audio Dropout Detected at 1:11.442 in Adobe Player" - no idea what the hell that means.
PSS - I have a feeling its because of the video. I'm editing RED (4k) - when the video is just on one track its no problem, but as soon as I put it above another clip, then it pops and cuts out.

I dropped 8K on a new mac pro, thinking, foolishly, to just throw some computing power at it...
My friends, Adobe just hates macs.
Both my D700 GPUs are kinda useless to Premiere. nVidia won and I guess Adobe could give two sh*ts about anyone on a new mac. I was hoping to go to premiere after Apple decided to drop FCP. What's amazing, as a commercial editor in NYC, EVERYONE was either on FCP or Avid (much more FCP) so there was lots of business to pick up... but the more I talk to people, and stories like this get shared, the more people are moving over to Avid, even FCPX if you can stomach it. Such a shame because AE, PS and the rest should work so nicely together... they just couldn't make it easy for non nVidia people or mac people.
I've tried contacting them (I'm even on their customer review panel) but no one seems to be able to patch this up. I've done 2 clean installs on my new mac, because I've gotten to the point that every premiere freezes, its a restart. Unreal. Been editing for 10 years and never had problems like this... even when we started putting Avid on a mac.
Failed and quite pissed. Not for nothing Adobe, if you're listening, I've got a real mind to use every piece of my social media platform to bring this to your attention - this program has wasted so much of my time (and money, jeebus) that it's almost immoral what's been going on.

Premiere Pro CC: audio and video is out of sync after export

Hi folks! I downloaded trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Captured gameplay with bandicam in Motion Jpeg Format (as advised) 30 fps and made a 40 minutes lenght clip. But there is an issue: in my project audio is synchronized with video, but when i export - it's lost (and i think to further we watch video, the bigger is the synch gape between audio and video, in increases gradually). I tried various formats, tried to use option "delete rendered files" prior to export, tried "match source" option, tried to choose various drives for exporting - nothing helps.
Help, how to solve this problem?

Handbrake is a free-download program that takes variable-frame-rate footage and converts it to constant frame-rate. VFR to CFR, if you will.
Going back to your reply to my first post, you noted there had been some kind of "hardlimit" to 30fps that you hadn't chosen. I'm guessing that would have made this track CFR, and what you've got instead is VFR. So you might try recording another bit after selecting that setting to hardlimit the frame-rate, and see if it works better through PrPro to export.
Next ... so, you've got a 30fps probably VFR video track, and it appears a WAV file is your audio ... was that produced by the Bandicam program while it was recording your program? Or is it from another source and you pasted it into your sequence?

Audio chipmunks - then cuts out completely

I switched to an M-Audio MobilePre USB unit for good sound
quality today. Now when I record narration, the first one or two
frames are fine, then on frame 2 or 3, my voice turns into a
chipmunk. By frame 20 the narration stops completely.
I've changed the latency but it has had no affect.
Please help. I have to record today!
Thanks.

I had the same issue when using the M-Audio unit.
My solution was to set "Sound Scheme" to "none"
For some reason when recording, when there is a system
generated sound (like a click from a web page being loaded) it
messes up the audio.
It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

Premiere Pro CS6 Generates HUGE file - Encoder settings help please

Using PPCS6 to create a 6 minute AVI file. The source video is an AVI screen capture from Camtasia for an application that is spread across 3 widescreen monitors, making the screen/video resolution 5760x1200 with a frame rate of 30. I need to output the same resolution/aspect ratio (Camtasia will not do this, hence my use of Premiere).
The initial screen capture is just under 2GB.
The AVI output from Media encoder is 45GB which is just too big to use.
Is there some settings I can use that will create a file of approximately the same size (under 3GB) and still look as sharp as the original capture?
My current encoder settings are:
Codec: Microsoft Video 1
Quality: 90
Width: 5760
Height: 1200
Frame Rate: 30
Field Order: Lower First
Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
Depth: 8-bit
Keyframe Interval: 8
Optimize Stills checked.

Camtasia files use their own TechSmith codec (TSCC) which is highly optimized for screen captures where hardly anything changes from frame to frame, and realistically you can't beat it with any of the default codecs, which are designed for full-motion video. With MV1 that file size is about what I'd expect from such a massive resolution. Also, do you really need 30fps? Most screencaps will look OK at 15 or even 12 at a push.
You should be able to encode back to AVI/TSCC if you have Camtasia on the same machine as Prem, if not you can download the codec pack for free from Techsmith's website.

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit. So I have to force quit every time.
It does not matter if I am working with HD or 4K - same thing happens.
This began happening about a week ago. Nothing really new has changed. I tried to repair permissions and check this from a new admin account because I know that is what Adobe thinks the answer to every problem is. But it did not change anything.
Mac 10.10.2
3.5 ghz 6-core
Dual D700
16GB Ram
CC 2014

Used this tip from Adobe and it worked, all running quick and smooth again.
Hope it works for you too.

After purchasing an album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out

i purchased 2 albums off of iTunes and when i went to play the one album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Premiere Pro CC Audio Cuts Out

Okay,
So I've switched to the new Premiere Pro CC and now my audio drops out during playback. Doesn't matter if it's an aiff, mp3, whatever. I never had this problem with Premiere Pro CS6. All files are saved to an XServe Network on OS 10.8.4. I'll have to remain using Premiere CS6 for the time being.
Also, just tested this out. I had a TIFF sequence playing with this audio. It did NOT like that. I can play the audio by itself just fine. So it seems to be a problem with playing the video file WITH the audio.

This happens on nearly every project I start in Premiere Pro CC.
It's really frustating and makes editing very difficult. It is almost impossible to watch the flow of an edit.
I used Premiere CS6 and this never happened. In fact I got my entire office to switch from Final Cut 7 to premiere recently because CS6 was so great and chugged through footage without the hassle transcoding. I very much want this issue resolved.
I am typically working with multiple layers of video and 1 layer of audio - footage straight out of Canon 5D Mark III
This even happens when you quote un quote "render audio" which doesnt make sense to me.
Happens when you render the enite video video with render all effects.
I work on a decked out mac book pro at my office
and a fairly decked out mac mini at my house (though i realize it is still a mac mini)
This happens both when running on an internal drive or firewire 800
I just watched my activity monitor - it seems to happen when the free ram goes to less than 100mb -
however the ram fluxuates a lot when playing back.
I am currently working on a projcet that is 2:30 long. The only applications open are premiere, safari and the activity monitor.
I just opened premiere and flushed the preferences by holding option and shif
Watched the video once entirly with no issue (it was rendered mostly from last time I was working) my free ram started at about 3 gigs available the first time I watched. When it was done playing I had about 1 gig available
I stated playing the video again and the ram went down again to nothing and audio stopped - audio levels die (even though there is audio there) - video played okay. pressing play immediatly to start it fixes it temporarily but then it cuts out again
I went back to the begining again and this time deleted my render files. playback on both A/V were very poor.
I dont know too much about computers but it seems to be a ram issue - this being said my mac mini which i am on right now has 8 gigs and my mac pro at work has 24. Both should be sufficient ram.
Thanks for your help and look forward to Adobe's fix for this issue. I hope it is as pressing for your team as it is for all of us.

Sustained use of Cinema display audio results in noise, choppy audio, then cutting out

When I play a sustained audio stream through my 27" LED Cinema display – for example, listening to my music collection on iTunes – for a couple hours (since I powered on my computer), the audio suddenly gets very noisy and after a few seconds really choppy (+ noisy), and waiting another few seconds it's barely audible (just repeated hints of noise). After this happens, I can press Pause in iTunes, wait a few seconds, then press Play, and the audio is perfectly fine again.
Then, after only a half hour or less, the same thing happens, and I have to do the same thing to fix it. I am always able to fix the audio perfectly fine, but it inevitably craps out again after 5-30 minutes.
If I power off my computer or let it sleep overnight, then come back and play iTunes again, the audio will be fine for a few hours before this inevitably happens again.
I've followed the advice of an Apple support technician of resetting both my NVRAM and SMC, and that had no effect. The Cinema display audio continues to behave the same.
I have the USB for the Cinema display plugged directly into my MBP's USB port (no other USB hub in the way).
I have the latest version of OS X and thus the 27" Cinema Firmware 1.0 update has already been applied (I tried applying it by downloading the firmware update manually, but it refused, saying I do not need this update).
This should go without saying, but this never happens when I play music through my MBP's built-in speakers, or when I play music through external speakers plugged into the line-out port. It's behaviour that happens exclusively through the 27" Cinema display's audio interface.
Thoughts, anyone?
I'm especially curious whether anyone else has had precisely this kind of audio problem with their 27" Cinema display. I've seen many people post audio issues relating to their 27" Cinema display, but most of those problems were remedied by the 1.0 firmware update, and besides none of the problems were described quite like mine (specifically, audio that becomes noisy, then mostly cuts out - it never completely cuts out - and that can be reliably [temporarily] fixed by pausing and playing the audio again).

Can an MBP Sound preferences output to the display as opposed to through usb? I use a mac pro and have those two choices for my mini-displayport 27" apple display.
I am not suggesting this as a fix but only testing various other paths to try to diagnose the problem.
What first came to mind in your description was that you are having some kind of temperature problem. And I think the temp problem lies with the MBP and not the display. To that end you might consider adding one of the temp monitor utilities like iStat Pro, iStat Menus, Temperature Monitor, Temperature Monitor widget, Hardware Monitor, etc. See if there some correlation with the temps shown in some of the readings and your sound problem.

Premiere Pro CC audio corruption issues

Hello Adobe community,
I've been editing happily on Adobe for several years now, and I'm not sure if it's CC, Mavericks updating and/or getting a brand new top-of-the-line 16GB/ram MacBook Pro to edit on, but every time I close and re-open premiere pro CC, the majority of my audio simply disappears -- sometimes it does it in the middle of an edit. The clips are still there, but they no longer have waveforms and don't play back. Sometimes it's most audio clips, sometimes it's ALL audio clips. It's inexplicable. I don't have any plugins installed or effects, it seems arbitrary as to which clips drop out.
There is a temporary and EXTREMELY aggravating fix, which is to match-frame each corrupt audio and then manually re-insert every single corrupt audio clip.
However, once a project gets to a certain point (what point, I still have no idea), the audio is BEYOND saving. I can't match frame and hear anything. I also can't re-link the corrupt file to its original -- the audio will never come back. This is so frustrating I can't stand it. Entire projects have simply become corrupt and it's not even possible to open a back-up successfully (once the audio drops out on one version, it seems to exist across the board across prior versions). I never had any issues when I start and work on projects from my hefty iMac -- it seems to have something to do with being on a MacBook Pro. So when a project gets corrupted, I've even tried immediately opening a clean back up on my iMac, but the audio is STILL corrupted.
I have tried so many fixes for this I'm going insane. It seems to happen most when I'm running off of an external harddrive, though I've tested it with so many different brands, capacities and connections (thunderbolt to FW800 to USB3.0) -- it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've lowered my buffersize to the minimum, have tried mimimizing all of my tracks so no waveforms are visible, i've tried rendering everything, moving scratch disks, pre-transcoding all footage to Pro Res 422 with 48khz audio, everything. I've also filled out bug reports to adobe, which I have no idea if they're ever seen or not. I rely on Premiere for my livlihood and I'm so desperate I'm about to go back to FCP.
Does anyone have any clue what this could be or any way you might be able to help?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Matt

All my footage is ProRes 4444 shot on the Alexa. Audio was recorded separately on a mixer, I can't tell you the model for sure but it generates poly track wav files. The wav has 6 separate tracks - five of which are being used. I've got another project, same footage/camera, same mixer/audio files and I haven't had any problems. There aren't near as many edits in that project and only four of the six tracks on the wav were used. They're still there, just no audio.
I'm using a 10 TB lacie big disk via thunderbolt in raid 0. I've had no other issues with the device or either port.
When it fails to playback I get the following error on the events screen:
'A low-level exception occurred in; Adobe Player (Player)'
I also used pluraleyes 3 to sync the project. When it output the xml for premiere it gave me a window that said 'this contains 5.1 audio data and pluraleyes may not handle it properly'. I didn't, in the timeline all the audio tracks were the same, it was the master mix on 6 tracks - no iso's. The wav files in the project widow had the proper tracks when I viewed them in the source monitor. Because the duration of the audio tracks were the same - I cut the iso tracks into the sync sequence I got from pluraleyes and deleted the audio tracks that originally appeared in the sequence. I mention this because as I said, I have another project that I used the same workflow for and haven't had these issues - yet. I also didn't receive the 5.1 message when I came out of pluraleyes.
Initially when I was having playback issues (the audio waveforms vanishing has been constant), I converted the 44.1 mp3 music files to 48 wav's to match the audio from the mixer. This solved the problem temporarily but now I can't get the audio from the mixer and the music to play in the same timeline. The only way I get playback is to take out the music, strip all the effects from the mixer audio and not have more than two tracks of audio simultaneously on the timeline.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

Premiere Pro CS6 Audio Issues

We have been testing Premiere CS6 on our first job for the last week. However, we are running into some major audio issues:
1. When clip is loaded into the source viewer, and you jump to through the cilp, the audio lags behind until you stop and wait a few seconds for the audio to catch up. This is a major hinderance when trying to edit quickly with clients in session. This also happens on the timeline when jumping around. These problems never occured in Avid or FCP running the same media.
2. With no rhyme or reason, the audio (from source and timeline) sometimes just doesnt play. The meteres will be moving and the video will play, but the audio wont be coming out. Sometimes you hear a noise as if someone was playing with the audio cables. Also, sometimes the meters dont even move, to suggest there is no audio again video is playing, when infact there is.
These problems have occured accros multiple machines, with media running from both our server, and local hard drives. Our facility runs a NAS that pushes 110/MB/s over ethernet from a 16TB RAID6 (that is SAS connected to the server). One machine is running OSX 10.8, with Black Magic Intensity Pro, 20GB Ram, NVidia Quadro 4000. Another is running OSX 10.8, with AJA IO Express, 16GB Ram, NVidia 4000. and the last is running 10.6.8 with Black Magic Intesnsity Pro, 12GB ram, and NVidia GTX something or other (unsupported card).
Has anyone else gotten these issues? Like i said, i have tested the media from the server and from the local hard drives. We are pushing Apple Pro Res HQ, have also tested Pro Res LT, Pro Res 444 and Canon H.264.

For me it wasn't a RAM issue, I had more than enough to process the audio I had in my project. This quote from a Creative Cow post worked for me.
"Try deleting your .cfa files for the media in question, and then don't mess with the project until they are done re-conforming."
Here's the original post:
http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/926011
I don't know how to figure out which .cfa files are associated to specific media files, so I just went to where they were cached and deleted all of them. Open your project again and you'll see a little yellow bar in the lower left-hand corner of the Timeline window showing that it's re-conforming your media. Don't even think of touching the computer while it's doing this... I was so paranoid that I didn't do anything else (check e-mail, open a web browser, work on a Word doc, etc.) until Premiere was totally finished. After that my audio played fine for the rest of the project.
One thing that's tricky and took me a while to figure out is that if you're using multiple drives, you have to be careful to make sure you're getting ALL of the .cfa files. If you've set the project to cache your files on a external drive, and then open a project on a different drive without having that external connected, Premiere will set the cache folder to its default location (usually on your host computer's main hard drive). I didn't realize this, and had the audio drop-out issue, so I deleted the .cfa files but the drop-out didn't go away. I found out that Premiere had reset my media cache folder, and had cached the corrupted .cfa files on my main hard drive. Once I deleted them there and let the computer re-conform, the audio played well again.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

After effects CC export to premiere pro CC: audio doesn't match

Hello!
I am making an animation serie for Belgian TV. They need me to export only my audio from premiere (I make the animations in after effects).
They need OMF format.
When I export from after effects CC > Premiere pro project (only to export my audio to OMF from here) the audio doesn't match.
Adobe media encoder doesn' support OMF unfortunately.
Example; if I stretch the audio time in after effects, premiere doesn't.
I am really stressing out and any help would be very welcome
Thank you!
Ellen

Hello Jim
Thanks for the reply!
When I import my after effects composition into premiere, it is perfectly visible and the audio is correct.
But now it is suddenly impossible to select > export > OMF
Do you know why this is?
Thanks!
