Audio disappears in timeline

After laying in clips to timeline, sometimes audio tracks turn a copper color (see pic) and no longer play audio. Sometimes they appear normal, but no audio after export. (All audio tracks are turned on). It seems to happen more frequently after copying and pasting a sequence from one project into another. Any help would be much appreciated.

The "disappearing Audio" does seem to happen with a Copy/Paste operation, but it does seem to random - sometimes working, but not always.
Have you tried Selecting a problem Clip, placing the CTI/Playhead over that Clip, and doing a Match Frame operation? That used to fix things, when the Audio became lost.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Multicam with external audio. Audio disappears on timeline

    I'm doing what I've done a hundred times before: Two cameras, external audio.
    But this time I'm doing it under Mavericks. Hmmmmmm.
    1. select cam-a, cam-b and audio track, make multicam file.
    2. double click to reveal on screen. Everything's fine, you can see waveforms, plays...everything's normal.
    3. Open New Project on timeline.
    4. hit "e" to advance multileg file to the timeline.
    5. No external audio. It's there in the angle editor, but no waveform, no sound.
    I've looked at everything I can think of. Stumped......thoughts?
    Thanks,
    /john

    It doesn't look as though the audio file synced with the other angles.
    Open the multiclip in the angle editor from the event broswer. Is the external audio present?

  • Issue with Random Blocks of Audio disappearing from Timeline

    I am having a problem with seemingly random blocks of audio tracks disappearing from my edit.  I will be scrolling through somewhere I haven't worked on or even looked at, in a few hours or days, and I'll be missing chunks of audio.   At first I thought I was just losing my mind, but I can see that transitions that I've tacked on at the ends to fade in/out are still there in their "storylines", just floating by themselves.  Its almost like they were just straight up deleted by hand.  But I know that I didn't do any such thing.   So, what is going on?  This isn't the first time its happened, and its impossible to know when it does, so I could end up losing hours of work reverting to a backup.  But it is equally frustrating (slowly) flicking back and forth between two projects to copy the audio tracks back every few days. It also mostly seems to happen on audio with transitions/crossfades, but I have found a few places where it has just been reduced to 1 frame.  Weird.
    I am working on a fairly complex film about 45 minutes in length, with compound clips of synced interviews cut up in the "Main" storyline, then with action shots and info stacked on top, and some 1-3 minute music tracks and video-less narrations below.     Working on a 5 month old MBP, 10.9.5, 16gb ram, everything's up to date
    I just need this to stop happening is the main thing.  What can I do about it?  It is very frustrating that these bugs are still popping up all the time.  Not a thing that should be expected from a "pro" application. 
    Thanks for any insight.
    Screen Shot below is example: you can see where 4blocks have been deleted, just leaving the crossfades hanging.  Extremely annoying, and time wasting.

    This is a user forum. I have not seen the issue you describe before.
    You could use the Provide Feedback command in the application to give feedback to Apple.

    Is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer or a Mac computer?
    What is the brand/model/settings of the camera recording your video?
    Windows 7 64 bit PC 
    Footage taken from DVD through Adobe Premiere Elements
    Are you sure about the Frame Width and Frame Height that you gave 720 x 484? Did you mean 720 x 480?
    Yes, my err.  720X480
    For the Frame Rate, was it really 29.97 frames per second and you rounded it off to 29 frames per second? Or,
    is the frame rate really 29 frames per second?
    If the properties that you just posted are representative of your source file, what project preset did you or the
    project set for the project preset? If you are not sure, please tell us the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size,
    and Pixel Aspect Ratio under Edit Menu/Project Settings/General.
    Still having problems - haven't been able to edit project. 
    Thank you for your help.

  • Audio disappears when I use preloader

    I have a movie that has an audio track (I have it set to "start" for the Sync). It works perfectly, but when I insert a preloader with it, the audio disappears. The rest of the movie still works fine (visual) but it is silent.  Couldn't find exactly this problem in a thread. Any ideas?

    if you're using actionscript to instantiate your sound, use:
    var yoursound:Sound = new Sound(this);
    if you're using the timeline to instantiate your sound, make sure it's not set to export for use with actionscript.

  • Background audio disappears when an interaction slide appears

    I have a (Captivate 6 produced) project which includes approx 40 slides and it looks to be running smoothly when published.
    However, I have imported a background music audio track which I want to play (and then loop) during the course of the whole course - however, whenever it reaches a slide which has an interaction on it, the music disappears and then returns when a non-interaction-based slide is reached.  Disappears again when the next slide is reached that contains an interaction, etc.
    I am unable to test in earlier versions of Captivate and so I am wondering whether this is an issue with this version of the program i.e. background audio disappears when an interaction slide is shown?

    We don't have the 6.1 update yet, but I did find a workaround for this (although it's not perfect).  With Captivate 6 there is now a "Play Audio" action that you can assign to the Slide Properties "On Enter" action.  When I did this, the narration continues to play even after the Flash interaction appears in the timeline.  So for any narrated slides that have Flash interactions, you need to:
    1) remove the Audio narration that is imported to the Slide (Audio > Remove > Slide from the menu bar)
    2) On the Slide Properties - On Enter action, select Play Audio, then select the appropriate narration file for that slide.
    This seemed to work -- the only problem is that if you use the "Play/Pause" button in the Adobe playback navigation bar, the button seems to get confused and changes to the Play state while the audio is still playing (instead of staying in the Pause state until the audio finishes as it does when the audio is imported to the Slide itself as narration).  Not sure how to fix that issue except to remove the Pause/Play button from the playbar and just use the Next/Back buttons.  And if you use navigation buttons instead of the Adobe playbar, you don't need to worry about this.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I revert to original footage in Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.9, for some reason I have lost some audio in my timeline and would like to start again but cannot get the original footage?

    How do I revert to original footage in Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.9?
    For some reason I have lost some audio in my timeline and would like to start again but cannot get the original footage?
    Only the edited version which is no good without the audio?
    Please  Help

    What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
    Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.

  • Raw files WITH audio appear in timeline WITHOUT audio

    I have many files that absolutely HAVE audio appear with none in the timeline. The track itself is there, but the waveform is flat, no sound, and nothing in the source monitor. However, when you "reveal in finder" that particular clip, and play it through VLC, there IS audio.
    My thought is that the metadata associated with the clip is corrupted, be it xmp, cfa, or pek.
    I have run into this problem several times now. As far as I know, there is no easy way to have premiere to"redo" the audio conforming. Short of mucking around manually to find and delete all the metadata associated with that clip, I don't konw what to do. And I feel like even that doesn't always work...
    For this particular project, I am collaborating remotely with another editor, so I completely understand the problem - the project files not routing to the same metadata or soemthing. That said, I did try to "reload" the footage and point premiere back to the original on my machine, but it still comes in with no audio in the timeline. I think it even tried to conform, but it clearly didn't do anything. Premiere thinks there's no audio at all.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Any advice as to how to do that most efficiently? "Clean cache database" in the media preferences doesn't equate to "delete all cache." Its cleaning the cache for old projects or something, right?
    And it is extremely difficult to manually delete these files, since many of the clip across many different projects stored in the cache folder share the same name, so the pek and cfa files are basically the same names too. no way to know which is which, save for painstaking attention to each file's modification date.
    does it have anything to do with the XMP files too? Or is it just the pef and cfa? Which is the culprit here?
    Thanks for your help, Jim.

  • Audio disappear at the end of my merged subclips after a relink

    Hello everyone,
    I am currently experiencing a new bug I've never seen before. Let me explain.
    *1. The project of my workflow*
    - I digitize HDCAM dailies (23,98) at low resolution with a DV codec
    - I use the "Cinema Tools Reverse Telecine" to have the clips in 23,98 instead of 29,97
    - I merge the video with the sound (which is 29,97)
    - I create a subclip from the merge to remove the unwanted black at the beginning and the end of the clip, because the audio file is longer than the video file
    *2. The problem*
    Because I had to move my mediafiles to another hard drive, I had to relink them. The relink worked well, until I discoverd I couldn't hear the end of the sound of my merged clips. At 3/4 of the clip, the audio just stops. But if I go in the audio tab of the clip, I can see the waveforms.
    +In green the part I can hear, in red the part I can't hear when I play the clip.+
    Really weird. It's like FCP doesn't consider the audio anymore.
    If I drag the clip to a timeline, it appears like this:
    +I can't extend the audio in the timeline, even if it exists.+
    *3. The workaround*
    I tried relink one merged clips several times in a row. Each time it loose a bit of the end of the audio. In five relink, I have no audio anymore.
    The only option is to remove subclips limits. There I have my audio back. But if, for whatever reason (and it can happen in a project) I have to relink, it will be the same problem over and over.
    I don't really understand why this is happening, but I think it might be related to the 6.0.2 update, because I've never seen this bug before.
    *4. The questions*
    Does anyone had the same problem?
    If there is something unclear in my explanation, please ask me precise question about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes it is the correct workflow, I've done it before.
    I found a workaround: instead of transcode the clips I digitized from 29.97 to 23.98 first, I create the merged clips while the video is still the same frame rate than the audio (29.97). Then I apply the "cinema tools reverse telecine" on the merged clip.
    This merge doesn't present the problem I had before. It is a bit much more complicated than the other way, because the transcoded merge is not always sync to the frame.
    Does anyone had experienced the same problem than me with the 6.0.2 update?

  • On fcp6 - all of a sudden my titles and images disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit or see titles.

    titles and stills work fine in playback, but disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit titles. Can't find how to bring things back. restarted FCP and Mac.

    Second image shows outline of title over background image.  All images are .jpg finished in Photoshop as I normally do.  They worked fine during the first half hour of editing.

  • Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?

    i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...

    thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

  • Playing, Pausing, Stopping Audio in a Timeline

    I don't use Flash that much so the question may sound simple, but how do I pause audio in a timeline?  I have added the audio, play and stop button.  When I test it works fine, but I can't figure out how to add the pause button, or the play/pause button.
    Thanks.

    Set the audio options on "stream" for the timeline. Then - a blank keyframe would do just fine. When you need the audio on, put it again and adjust the start point in the properties panel.

  • Layer disappeared from timeline

    I'm creating some banners with Edge Animate for the first time.
    I started with the biggest one, now I need to create some more downscaled versions.
    Clearly the easiest and fastes way is to duplicate the edge project and modify the layers size position etc...
    Duplicating the project folder and changing the file name didn't work for me (gave error "edge can't read the html file"), so I managed to do it with "save as" and changing the "project1.an" name to a new one in a clean folder. When opened, Edge creates all the assets referencing the new name.
    Everything  ok until here, but then I noticed that the top layer "link" (it was a hidden clickable div with the banner link) has disappeared from timeline, but it's still present in the "elements" tab.
    The link was still working, then after a couple of cmd+return it disappeared also from the stage.
    I created a new rectangular div with the tool, but the new one is also not present in the timeline but only in the "elements" tab.
    Now I'm worried that this could cause problems on publishing or future edits. Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for your help.

    Never mind, after this post I already found the answer.
    I had checked without noticing the button at the bottom of timeline "Only Show Animated Elements".
    Unchecking all the layers were there.
    Hope this can help if anyone has accidentally the same problem!

  • Adobe Premiere 2.0 Audio Desaparece en Timeline

    BUenas a todos, nuevamente.
    El siguiente problema, es con el audio.
    Al insertar un audio en el timeline, perfecto, se oye estupendamente.
    Cierro proyecto, vuelvo abrir el proyecto, y por arte de magia, el audio o no se oye o solo se oye por un canal.
    El archivo de audio, por si el mp3 pudiera fallar, es un WAV.
    Aun así, sigue igual, y lo mjeor de todo, es que si lo vuelves a reemplazar por el original, entonces, solo se oye por un canal o sigue sin oirse.
    Alguien tiene el mismo problema?
    Gracias a todos

    I have something for you to try.
    What did you use for project preset? I am assuming PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 since there is no DSLR 1080p setting in version 8.0/8.0.1.
    (Did you say what the recorder is offering in the way of video compression to go along with the .mp4 container format?)
    Take that Timeline and export it to a file saved to the computer hard drive.
    Share/Mobile Phones and Players/Apple iPd and iPhone/and preset = iPod and iPhone - High Quality.
    Under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset, have your Export Settings look as follows:
    Then upload that file (H.264.mp4) to You Tube at the YouTube web site. What is the quality of the uploaded video?
    We will be watching for the results.
    Thanks.

  • I want to start with audio on a timeline and add photos. Why is this not possible in the new confusing version of iMovie?

    I want to start with audio on a timeline and add photos. Why is this not possible in the new confusing version of iMovie?
    Yrs,
    Unspeakably Frustrated

    Yes, you can do this. Drag the music track to the background and start adding your pictures. A great way to do this is to use beat markers so your photos will change on the beat.
    A really fast way to do this is to line up your photos in an iPhoto album in the order you want them. You can drag the whole album into iMovie at once.
    Here is a tutorial on the beat marker feature.
    Here is a sample of a slideshow made by dragging in the music first, adding beat markers, and then adding photos.
