Audible Click Between Audio Clips

Running PP 5.5. Editing an AVCHD project with seperately-recorded WAV audio files. Dropping the various audio clips of the various scenes into the timeline and I keep getting clicks between the audio clips upon playback and export. There are no empty frames between the clips, nor any overlapping clips. Even looping a single audio clip in Audition results in a click at the beginning of each clip. In either PP or Audition the clicks are only audible when playing normal speed. Scrub through the timeline with the arrow keys and the clicks are not present.
Ramping up/down the gain at the head/tail of the files still results in clicks between the clips. Doesn't matter if the clips are in the same track. It seems to be a file access issue and not an actual audio track sound, except that when I export the movie the clicks become part of the audio track of the exported movie. Except for these audio clicks everything is working perfectly.
I just upgraded from PP CS4. Opening up a copy of this project in PP CS4 and I have no audio clicks.
I'm stumped...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I have a very fast computer:
i7 - 980x
24GB RAM
Dual SSD HDD's in raid 0 for OS
Quad 2TB 7200RPM HDD's in raid 0 for files
Dual GTX 460 Fermi Video Cards
PP 5.5 (5.2) Legit
W7P x64

Audio is encoded in samples per second (e.g. 48000) and video is played back in frames per second (e.g. 24). There are significantly more audio samples than there are individual video frames and Premiere cuts to the nearest video frame, so there may be instances where the cut point occurs in the middle of a very short sound that you would have barely noticed in the full-length recording.
This is a problem I have experienced in all NLEs; it is not just limited to Premiere. The easiest way of solving it is to add a short cross-fade at the beginning of the audio clip.

When clicking an audio clip on the timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2014, it duplicates it on a different track and makes it impossible to work.

I'm experiencing a disturbing issue as it actually prevents me to do the work in Premiere. I will put as much info as possible:
1) Project started on a different computer (the editor), PC with Premiere Pro CC,
2) Now opened on my Imac with Premiere Pro CC 2014,
3) I am not editing, simply trying to move audio clips on different tracks to export audio tracks only,
THE ISSUE:
1) Here is my timeline:
2) When I select an audio clip to highlight it, Premiere creates a duplicate on a different track:
Note that the clip highlighted in the previous screen cap is the duplicate and I didn't click it, Premiere highlights it as soon as it is duplicated.
3) When I click out of the timeline or scroll up or down on the timeline, the duplicates disappear. However, when I try to move the original clips, it doesn't do anything, they are stuck in place.
ANTICIPATED ANSWERS:
1) You work on 2 different computers with 2 different versions of Premiere Pro CC, what do you expect? --> The amazing thing about Adobe CC is that it shouldn't be an issue and now I have to deal with it in this way,
2) Try and save an updated version of your project from your computer. --> Already done that.
Thank you for your help. I usually use the customer support chat but I am on the other side of the globe and it is now closed. This issue prevents me to work so I need to solve it quickly.
Kind regards,
Aurelien

This sounds to me like it could be a graphics related problem are you on the latest driver. Something else you could try, start a new project and import the one from the PC into that rather than directly opening it in the MAC

Can I have multiple volume levels along one audio clip? PE12

For instance I want there to be a single score of music over the video soundtrack. But I want the music score to lower in volume when important things are being said in the soundtrack. Any way I can raise and lower the volume at different points in the music score?

Thanks for the update and the good news of progress.
The Audio Mix is an automatic route for placing those volume keyframes...basically, as the Timeline content plays in the Edit area monitor with the Audio Mix dialog open, you adjust the Audio Mix's volume sliders for the numbered audio track, narration track, or soundtrack involved.
The Smart Mix basically can adjust the volume in the narration or soundtrack against the dialog in a numbered audio track depending on how you designated track, Foreground or Background.
The volume keyframes that are set by these means can be seen as white dots on the audio clip rubberband and can be adjusted there also.
These volume keyframes can also be adjusted in the Show/Hide Keyframe Controls area in the Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume panel expanded area.
You can also do volume keyframing at the Timeline level. See audio clip rubberband which is the orange line that runs horizontally across the audio clip.
If you do not see the "white dotes" volume keyframes...
a. Make sure the clip is set for Volume:Clip Volume and then right click the audio clip, select "Show Clip Keyfrasmes", and follow the path to Volume:Clip Volume.
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.

Why are there audio clicks between clips?

I am sequencing several clips together (different camera angles and scenes) and when it switches to another clip there in an audible click or pip noise. It's very noticeable especially when there are several short clips right in a row. This has never happened to me before but now it is happening between every clip. I also exported the video to see if the clicks were still there in a "finished" video. they were still there. What do i do?

Shorten or lengthen one or both of the adjacent clips by one or two frames. You will have to see what combination works.

Is there a shortcut for fading audio to zero and back up between two clips?

I'm trying to determine if there is a shortcut for this situation in FCP 5...
You have two audio clips butted adjacent to each other.
You want the first clip to fade down to zero (i.e. silence).
You want the second clip to fade up from zero.
So basically you have a split second of silence between the two clips.
The video equivalent would be touching black for a second between the
two clips. You can use the "Fade In Fade Out Dissolve" to do it fast.
I realize you can accomplish this audio manuvers with 4 keyframes and the pen tool. I know you can also put an audio transisions on the end of each clip. There are a bunch of ways of getting there, but is there a really
fast way like the "Fade In Fade Out Video dissolve" or a keyboard shortcut?
Thanks for any feedback.

When I need to do somethig like that I make sure there at least a 1 frame gap between the two and ad audio transitions on the end of clip 1 and the beginning of clip 2.
If someone has a faster way, i'd love to know it.

How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

Hi guys,
First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
      but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
      recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
Please help, all of you experts.

Thank you.
OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
My process is this:
1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
     The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

Is it possible to have the same audio clip be playing nonstop between menu's in idvd '11? I want to be able to go from one menu to the next without the audio cutting out on me. Thanks for any support! I have tried searching the forrums but no luck yet.

Toggling between video clips (not audio clips) in the timeline

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a solution to this small inconvenience I am experiencing in FCP 5. When I have snapping enabled, and press the down arrow key, the playhead jumps to the next audio or video clip in the timeline. I am trying to find out if there is a way to jump between video clips only.
Thank you
-Peter

Thanks,
Do you know if there is a way to make the up/down arrows snap to only the video cuts on the video clips in the highest video tracks in the timeline? Thanks.

How to SIMPLY add audio crossfade between two clips ?

Tried to make a simple cut edit for tv news.
How to add an audio crossfade between two clips to soften transition ?
Detach audio, then create audio only scenario, then add transition ? Unusable.
When importing 8 tracks from Xdcam HD, how do you choose wich audio track to add your transition to ?
Also, impossible to re-export to Xdcam disk on the field.
This piece of software is simply unusable in real life pro conditions. Some very nice features, globally a disaster.

First thank you all for taking time to reply.
I found these solutions myself but for me these are only workaround.
In Fcp7, you just had to drag and drop dissolve transition to clips junctions TO AUDIO TRACK ONLY. Very quick and simple. In Fcpx, it is very time consuming if you want to add audio crossfade to every clip junction in a full project. That's really not a software evolution in my opinion...
I think "easy transitions to audio tracks only" has to be implemented in next version.
Thanks again !

Breaking Link Between Audio/Video Clips

Although this question I'm sure is simple, i'm not finding it in any of the documentation.
I need ONLY the Audio portion of some of my Audio/Video Clips. I can't break the link, so that I can slide the Audio Clip around on the time line. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Either hold down the OPTION key before you click on the audio, or look on the button bar above the timeline on the right. There are two default buttons, one being LINKED SELECTION. Turn that one off and audio and video will disconnect.

Continuous audio clips between slides

how do you make the same song play for 2-3 slides? i know you can add a song to the entire presentation but i want to have that specific clip for only 3 slides. Also, is there a way to make a smooth transition (ie: sound fading out and into the next sound clip with each slide change) between slides and different songs??

Greetings and welcome to the Forum.
The only way to accomplish what you want (within Keynote) is to create a new audio track from your audio "clips" off-line (for example in Garage Band) cross-fading between them.
Next, create a "sub-set" presentation, containing only the slides that will be associated with this audio track.
Then, import this track as a Soundtrack for the "sub-set" presentation.
Now, Record the Builds and Transitions for each slide in sync with the audio track.
Finally, link each of these "sub-set" presentations together via Hyperlinks.
Yes, it is cumbersome, but the ability to deal with audio is severely limited in Keynote.
You also can use other off-line programs to create audio-with-visual segments and then import these into Keynote. But that's a whole other story ...
Good luck.

How to let Premiere or Audition put Extracted audio clips into a desired folder when clicking "Edit clips in Audition"?

I recently did Volume Match for entire feature film dialogue clips, what happened is I found lots of extracted audio clips scattered around in my Media hard disk, luckily I only have one Hard disk for all media, I look it in Preferences in both Premiere and Audition, there is no such setting to put all extracted audio clips in one designated folder. Anyone has any solution to that?

When I send a Premiere sequence to Audition it makes a subfolder with the same name as the Premiere sequence I sent from automatically. All I have to do is specify a path before I hit OK. If you are sending one clip at a time it seems to save that extract next to the Premiere project file.

Audio clips between moving menus

I have created a disc with moving menus from after effects and when the transition takes place, there is an audio clip. Is there any way of reducing this or even eliminating it all together?
I have checked other retail discs and some do have it, others don't

Soundbooth, Audition, Premiere, to name just a few of your options.

I have an iMovie that I created 10 years ago. I found the disk and imported. Everything is there except the sound! I converted in Wondershare to MPV4 but still no sound. There is an audio clip that was imported from an analog video camera.

A small update to this issue....
I have been trawling the forums to find an answer but to no avail...
And... I've tried exporting and bouncing individual stems and the full session, either by muting all bar the stem or soloing the stem.....and still nothing.
Same problems.....everything is audible in audition but nothing plays on playback.
Since the 'prelisten' channel strip is Solo safe this would indicate that you have a track or channel strip soloed somewhere else, out of sight. Are the Mute buttons on your channel strips blinking?
To view all objects in your mixer, click the button. You may have to scroll sideways to check the whole mixer.

Delete the space between multiple clips, at once, on the timeline?

Is there a way to delete the space between multiple clips on the timeline with one click?
I trim clips on the timeline, so I can have a couple hundred clips with space between on the timeline. Is there a way to delete all the spaces between the clips at once?
Right now I have to ripple delete the space between each clip, big hassle and a lot of key strokes. Is there a better faster way to trim clips in general? Or delete the spaces on the timeline?

I have not used the source monitor much. Can I use the sourse monitor to make a lot of cuts "clips" out of one big clip? Say I want to take the highlights out of a long wedding ceremony? Or do I need to do this one the timeline. Edit clips on the timeline is very intuitive to me and I can do it fast, except for all the spaces betweent the clips.
Absolutely ( and I wouldnt do it any other way because it is designed for ease and speed)
Try it:
1.Target a Video and Audio track in the timeline
2. Place the long source file in the Source monitor.
3. Locate the first highlight and Set In and Out Points ( KBD Shortcut "I' and "O")
4.Then Insert it to the timeline ( KBD "," )
Note: there are a number of ways of sending the selection to the timeline (eg.Insert / Overlay buttons, drag it to the Program Monitor, drag direct to the timeline). You can also take video only, audio only, both. Darg options have modifier keys for insert / overlay ripple-ing
Back to the source monitor (step 2) and mark next highlight selection....repeat steps...etc.....
Ensure your CTI (playhead) is always at the end of the last clip in the timeline. KBD short cut "End" and you will have no gaps to deal with.
