AC3 files are blank

Hi,
I have had this problem before, and it wasn't solved, rather went away. I export a sequence to MPEG2, Dolby AC3. The video is fine, but the audio is blank.
I've tried various workarounds, but to no avail. It seems from other posts that this isn't an isolated problem.
Does anyone have any ideas? And yes - without wanting to sound rude, but to avoid unnecessary back and forths - I have exported audio before and it worked. This seems to be a random problem, but (like most problems of its ilk) it is around when time is tight!
Any help is appreciated.
David

Hi all,
Many thanks for the replies. Whoa! Too many to handle! : )
for those in the same boat - it would appear to be a corruption issue. Something in the project is corrupted. I sometimes have a "cannot save project" issue, but I've never tied the two together. Anyhoo - workaround time:
When the empty AC3 arrives, back in FCP there is a project tab with a wodge of numbers (e.g. C3032838-67AB-45A3-B48E-67). I simply double click the sequence icon for those numbers and re-compress the audio therein. It works.
If anyone has a way of turning a corrupt project into a good, clean, trustworthy one - I am all ears.
I hope this helps some folk.

  • The icons for html files are blank . . . how do i get them to show the firefox image

    on the desktop and in directories, the icons for html files are blank . . .
    firefox is my default browser . . .
    how do i get the icons to show the firefox image ?? . . .

    You can check for issues with the Windows icon cache and try to rebuild the icon cache.
    # Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
    # In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
    # Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
    # Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    # Select the IconCache.db file and use "Delete" in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
    # After the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
    The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure that you can see hidden files.

  • Installed CS3 symbol files are blank

    We have Illustrator CS3 for Windows. We did not purchase the the entire suite just INDD, PHOTO, ILLSTR and ACROBAT. I tried to access the symbol files that are free with Illustrator. When I open say the MAP file, the pages are all blank. I checked the others and they are all blank pages. I recently viewed them at a seminar and they were available. The path is ZZ:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3\Presents\Symbols\.....
    Can anyone tell me why the software would have been sent with blank pages? Is there a setting I am not seeing?
    KEN PANTHEN, Albany, NY

    Did you access the Symbol files from Window>Symbol Libraries>(list). When you open one of the files directly, you need to look at the Symbol panel (Window>Symbol) for that file. All the Symbols for that file are located there. The file is just a way of making a library available.

  • Published Captivate 7 files are blank

    I just upgraded my Mac from 10.9 to 10.10 (Doh!! - but it was free). Now my Captivate project won't publish. First time I tried, it asked me if I wanted to view it after publishing, and saying yes, it showed me a blank html page. No error, just no content. There are about 40 slides with fifteen audio files. My Captivate version is 7.0.1.237. Near as I can tell, this is the latest. Is this just punishment for upgrading to a new operating system to quickly?

    This sounds like the answer a bureaucrat might give; technically correct, but not especially helpful. Adobe says they work closely with Apple, but it looks like they either didn't know about Yosemite, or don't care about their Captivate 7 users.

  • Published php files are Blank

    In Dreamweaver CS4 I can view and edit files. HOWEVER, when I "put" them they are published "blank" onto the internet.
    There is the following error: news.php - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put news.php.  Access denied.  The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.   Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Adobe support cannot help me they say it's in the .php scripting and code.

  • Exported jpeg files are blank in ID CC

    I just launched InDesign CC for the first time. After creating a simple one-page layout, I exported to jpeg and found that the resulting image was blank. Is there a new setting in CC I need to change?

    25MB is quite a large filesize for a JPG, and this might be either quite a lot of pixels saved at a very "high" quality (not very much compressed), or it may be an extremely large number of pixels saved with medium compression.
    While the technical spec of the JPG format imposes an absolute limit on maximum width and height pixel dimensions, some software employs a lower limit above which it considers the file to be invalid. Different programs, different limits, sometimes.
    I have encountered this (for example) with pano stitched images using the full resolution of a large number of component shots - where JPG output could not be made, or if made, could not even be viewed as a whole by my standard image viewer (though TIFF was still OK even at still larger sizes).
    If Lightroom has been set to a large printed size AND to a high ppi resolution, it is easy to get into very high numbers and very large output files. One should IMO at least question the utility and benefit of using very high ratios of upsampling from a standard digital photo - which may happen in some cases as a result of using the same output settings regardless, when spreading the same data across both small and large scales. If the file that was imported into LR really does provide an unusually high number of pixels expressing lots of detail, then that will better deserve such a capacious output file. Otherwise, each part of the file may merely show a very highly detailed representation, of a very blurry nothing-much-in-particular.
    If the JPG has exceeded the viewer's size limits, a reported width and height of 0 may represent an error message, in effect - not actual reality.

  • Pdf files are blank when i try to print them from logic

    whenever i try to print a pdf from logic it comes out completely blank. one day it just started printing blank pdfs, but i can't figure out why. i didn't change anything in my preferences, or install any new programs. any ideas? i'm using logic pro 8.0.2 thanks.

    greetings ..if you want to print direct from the Score Editor do this:
    1 - Select what ever you want to print in Logic
    2 - Next to the Logic Pro in the Tool Bar is File
    3 - Go to File>Page Setup
    4 - You will see a box there with a percentage. If you print blank pages
    this could be because it is 2 percent or something. Return it to 100% and
    it should print.
    5 - Another tip that most of us Score preparers do is to print first to the desk top as
    a PDF. This will show you exactly what the printed sheet will look like. There is often
    stuff you miss and this helps to proof read it and not waste paper/ink etc

  • How to open .AC3 files in Audition CS5.5

    As the latest Adobe Audition 5.5 does not have the codec/plugin for opening .AC3 files, I need to download and install the latest QuickTime player for the required codec/plugin.
    However, after installing the QuickTime Player, Audition 5.5 seemed to open the .AC3 file I've selected but the whole duration of the AC3 file is blank and has nothing in the waveform. I could not hear anything during the playback.
    The fact is that when the AC3 file is playing through the Windows Media Player 12 with AC3Filter, the file can be heard and has no error.
    Does anyone know the solution to this issue?

  • PDF documents are blank but epub documents are not

    Hello All;
    I have an install of ACS 4. Installed on the following.
    Linux version 2.6.28.1-xxxx-std-ipv4-32 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1) ) #2 SMP Fri Jan 30 09:55:02 UTC 2009
    I have a production license and I am able to fulfill books - both epub and PDF.
    However, when I attempt to download/view the books in Adobe Digital Editions, the PDF files are blank. I should mention that the PDF files that are blank, are PDFs that I grabbed from public domain sites (archive.org). The epub documents that I grabbed from the same source, work find in Adobe Digital Editions.
    I would also add that the sample books that are included with Adobe Content Server work just fine. So, I am to assume that there is something 'wrong' with the PDFs that I have.
    Anyone see this before? Anyone know where I could look for answers?
    Thanks much.
    Glen

    Digital Editions supports essentially the PDF/A profile (plus some extras see the FAQ at http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/faq/ for the full list).   The most commonly noticed thing that is missing compared to the current PDF 1.7 spec is JPEG2000 support.
    What happens when you view these files in Digital Editions before your package them?

  • PDF attachments are blank.

    I have been composing and sending emails with pdf attachments for years through my gmail account with no problems...in the last few days, my customers are all complaining that the pdf files are blank.  All the pages send, but they have nothing on them.  I have been double checking before hitting send, and everything is fine.  I go to my sent items and the pdf's are indeed blank.  It is quite frustrating.

  • Silent AC3 files

    I just installed DVDSP from the FCP studio (universal binary) on my new quad G5. I used Compressor2 to encode video and audio from FCP 4.5. The aiff files sound fine, but the AC3 files are silent. When I take the aiff files to my old G4 and encode them using a.pack, the resulting AC3 files sound fine.
    Why isn't Compressor2 giving me AC3 files I can hear? They aren't DTS, so I shouldn't need a decoder. I've even tried building the DVD with the silent files but they are still silent when played in Apple's DVD Player.

    have you tried burning the pproject and playing back on a set top player?
    that is the ultimate test, however, i do find it weird that your *.ac3 is silent.
    please burn a disc, and play from a desktop and let us know.

  • Numbers 09 not working - I can open the program but only a few files are available, missing blank, checklist and many others. e.g  when I click on a file I get this error: The document "nmbtemplate is invalid. The index.xml file is missing. help.

    Please let me know what I can do to get my Numbers (iWork 09) working properly again.
    Here is what is going on:
    Numbers in iWork 09 not working can't access Blank, Checklist and many other files within Numbers.   I can open the program but only a few files are available. When I click on the file (which also has no icon just the name of the file) this warning appears:
    The document "Blank.nmbtemplate" is invalid.  The index.xml file is missing.
    I recently had to get a new hard drive installed and had the system upgraded and more memory put in by a Mac certified specialist recommended to me from the Apple store in Northbrook because this was the 3rd time my drive went bad but this time it was to old (I got the IMAC- in 2007) and the Apple store could no longer work on it this time so they recommended a few places that had certified Mac specialists.  Since then Numbers is not working right.
    I'm sure it's something simple to fix, but I've tried re installing it and that didn't work.  Appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?
