Audio issues importing MPEG2 into PE7

Hi guys,
I have some AVCHD files (MTS) that for some reason are not handled well by PE7. It takes forever to drag them onto the timeline and then don't even think about editing them. Even after rendering. [As an aside all of my M2TS AVCHD files work perfectly well in PE7 just not the MTS files for some reason].
So I converted the MTS files to MPEG2 using Kyoto Soft Free HD Convertor software V1.7. The files converted fine to MPEG2 and when I open them in a standard windows video viewer they play perfectly well both video and audio.
Here's the catch though. I imported them into PE7 and then dragged them onto the timeline. The video plays fine but the audio is crazy its just very fast gobbly **** (hard to describe). It sounds like an out of control electric guitar on steriods if that helps!
Anyway, I'm happy the video can be imported and it doesn't slow down PE7 like the MTS files did but would like to know how I can get the audio to work perfectly as well.
thanks
Bryan

Actually, the Lumix shoots in a number of formats. Assuming you're shooting in AVCHD, it actually shoots in AVCHD Lite, 1280x720, and you should ensure that you've selected that as your project setting when you set up your Premiere Elements project.
But the bigger challenge is that this cam shoots in 60p, a format that is not supported by Premiere Elements or any other consumer video editing programs. It does not appear from the online specs that you ahve the option of switching it to 60i. If this is the case, you may not be able to work with video from this camera in Premiere Elements.
That's a problem with Panasonic's decision to use that format rather than Premiere Elements, unfortunately.
Even Kyotesoft's video converter will likely have problems working with it.

Only have audio after importing mpeg2 video into.

After importing mpeg2 into Pre, I only have the audio portion of the file. The video is grayed out.
If I play the imported mpeg2, only the audio plays, no video.
Any thoughts as to what is going on?
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Steve,
The 1080 HD video was shot with a Canon PowerShot SX1 SI and was copied over to the harddrive using the card reader built into the laptop.
The camera recorded the video in QuickTime.mov, and I converted it to mpeg2 by using FreeMake Video Converter software. The new mpeg2 file played fine on the laptop.
I then imported the new mpeg2 file into the Adobe PRE software. However, I only had audio and no video in the Adobe PRE. The video link was grayed out, while the audio was not grayed out. When I played the imported mpeg2 file, the video was blank red screen while the audio playing.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John

No audio when importing AVCHD into FCP X? Simple solution.

After hours of trial and error and several phone calls to support, I figured out why my AVCHD footage (MTS files from a Canon vixia HF S100) had no audio when importing into FCPX. The solution was to simply uncheck the box - "Remove silent channels" - under Audio in the pop-up import window . That did the trick.
I had tried importing from a card reader, the camera and from an external hard drive and then tried 2 converter programs (MPEG streamclick and Wondershare Video Conerter Ultimate.)
Final Cut Pro X
OS X 10.8.2

It's usually something simple that can catch the best of us.

Issues importing tapes into FCPX

Hi. I have tried importing some miniDV tapes for the first time into FCPX (latest version). I have had a number of issues:
Tape number 1 - Importing the video directly into an event (rather than creating an archive) seemed to split up the shots on the tape incorrectly, and dropped some frames. Creating a camera archive worked for that tape. However when I tried to import the clips from the newly created archive, FCPX crashed, and I had to open again. This time round, I could import the clips into the event from the archive, and they were split up into shots correctly.
Tape number 2 (which is one long recording without timecode breaks), FCPX split the first minute where some titles dip to black into seperate clips. It should have been captured as one long clip. I decided to try and create an archive again. Second time round, it correctly created an archive with one long clip and I imported into an event!
Tape number 3 - again it split some opening titles which dip to black into seperate clips in the archive. I haven't tried this one a second time yet.
Tape number 4 - creating an archive reached the end of the tape displayiong the 'end of tape' message. When I clicked ok, FCPX crashed. When it opened again, the archive wasn't displayed and I could not open the archive (it appeared greyed out). I am currently trying this one again.
Has anyone got any tips on getting around these problems? I like the camera archive idea, and the way it splits shots up (when appropriate) and logs them according to the recording date and time). I wish you could till it to not split up the clips also. I am worried about how it will cope with my VHS collection, when I connect via a AV-DV adaptor (like the Canopus ADVC55). Will these be split up into seperate clips every time there is a dip to black, or some noise on the picture? Also, will it stop creating the archive after the 3 hour tape has come to an end, or will it keep archiving a blank screen? (in FCP7 there was a limit capture option, so I could tell it to stop after 2hr and 10mins for example).
Sorry there are a lot of questions here! Any advice would be appreciated.

When I capture in Quicktime Player 7 this is the info:
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
DV, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), Millions
When I import that clip into FCPX, it is playing audio through LEFT and RIGHT channels.
The same clip when captured in FCPX directly (not using a camera archive) also plays audio through both LEFT and RIGHT channels.
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
DV, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), Millions
When using the camera archive feature in FCPX, there is only sound on the LEFT channel (nothing coming through right speaker). Although this time, the sound is extremely faint even on the LEFT channel - the same clip is fine when captured as above. I also get this faint audio when playing it back in FCP7
DV, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Left, 48.000 kHz
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Unused, 48.000 kHz
I think this is a specific problem with the Camera Archive feature when archiving miniDV tapes. It's a shame, since I've capture 20 already!

Issues importing word into indesign and keeping notes/superscripts

Hi
I have a job coming up where I will need to import word documents into indesign that come from various sources.
I did some web surfing and discovered I should be able to do it by placing the word document into my template. It seemed to work when I first tried it, but I have now discovered that only the first few notes have from through (first 14 to be precise). Then the numbers disappear (and are replaced by soft returns) until note 33 where they jump back in. But of course this starts at the next number missing, so in this case 15. Which of course means all the numbers are out of order and so need to be fixed.
I would just input or fix manually but as I have 15 stories place and format and the first one has 95 notes... I am hoping to find a less time consuming solution.
I am guessing it is something in how the author has edited the word document, but I truly have no idea.
Any suggestions as best way to overcome this? Ideally something I can ask the authors to fix. Or is there something in the import options?
I am about to get EXTREMELY desperate with this issue.
Thanking you call in advance.
Cheers
Nikola

OK after some more web seraching I have tried saving as and RFT file and that seemed to work. So fingers crossed.
Using these settings:
If anyone knows why it happened please let me know as it would be most useful.

Premiere Pro CC has no audio on imported MPEG2

So I just recently upgraded to the Creative Cloud, running Premire Pro CC about half of my workflow consists of editing Mpeg2 transport stream files.
After pushing a few projects through using other formats, I decided to drop one of my run of the mill mpeg2 files on a timeline. however the audio tracks show a straight line - no visible waveform.
I have pushed these same type of files (as well as some of the exact same files) through premiere pro CS5.5 and Premiere Pro CS4 with no issues at all.
I have dropped multiple other file types on the same sequence to double check that my project settings are not the issue, avchd, prores, vob, mp4, mp3, all play fine.
premiere pro CC DOES, however, see audio from an Mpeg 2 file created in media encoder, ( for this test I exported from a sequence comprised of prores and avchd files)
Also, the Mpeg 2 files which do not have audio on my premiere pro CC sequence can be played back WITH audio through vlc media player.
Thank you for any help with this problem!

it happened to me with mp4 clips. if you mean like this one
it is a an Adobe problem it even happened to media encoder. the clip is playable with any player app even I've tested it with other video production app & it works fine. so if you want to fix it temporary & fast without converting, get QuickTime pro to open the wanted clip then save the clip by QuickTime (save as) in another folder (don't change settings). in premiere pro just right click on the not working clip then choose (replace footage) with one you saved by QuickTime, voila!. if it doesn't work the clip might be broken or it need to be converted.
by the way I'm a windows 8.1 user

Issues importing photos into lightroom 5.6

Hello All, I would very much appreciate any assistance in figuring out my issue of not being able to import new photos after having used LR for years with almost 6000 photos in my LR catalogue. It looks like the images are coming in and then it gives me a number of the images (all of them) that are not able to import. I tried using a new, empty catalogue as well as importing my old photos into a new catalogue, and in both cases had the same problem. I am shooting with a Fuji XT1 both RAW and JPG and none of the images come in, yet they had been importing with no issue up until recently. I tried uploading the photos from a card reader, then I copied the images onto my desktop, tried that, and then I put the disc directly into the slot on my Macbook Pro, and it hasn't worked from any of those sources. The only thing that is different is that I recently purchased a new Apple thunderbolt monitor, but I disconnected that and tried to upload directly onto my Macbook Pro and it still wouldn't import the new photos. Could you kindly offer me any suggestions of what I might be able to do to remedy this situation? Thanks!

When I try to import my images, both RAW and jpeg from my Fujixt1, both from the card reader and directly from the slot on my computer, I initially see them as thubnails in Lightroom and it appeast like they are being imported, but after the import bar is finished, no lonager seeing any of the photos. then an error message comes up it also says: "could not copy files to the requested location" I have not had this problem when I had an earlier version of Lightroom. Any specific help in getting these files into Lightroom would be must appreciated. Is there an update that will help make this issue go away. It used to be so easy to just upload directly. Thanks!

Issues importing MPP into Primavera

Hi,
there are two issue sthat were noted post impor of plan into Primavera-
1. Post import, for activities that have Activity Ids greather than 99, the one marked 100 is listed first in the order. So i have to mark the one as 100, i renamed it to 99A.
2. Post import, the Activity Type comes 'Resource dependent' by default. While import, Primavera should have asked what value etc.
regards

1. You should renumber the Microsoft Project schedule as P6 will put them numerically going left to right so that 10 comes before 9.
Example:
001
002
010
011
099
100
or just start at 1000 as P6 does.
2. Again change the Microsoft schedule so the activities are not be effort drvien check the box to ignore resource calendars.

No Audio When Importing MOV into LifeType

Hi
I'm new to FCE and I was importing a mov file into life type. However, there was no audio when I tried playing the file. I am able to see the visual and the live fonts effects but somehow the audio is missing.
Did I miss something ? Is this the right approach for creating a movie with LiveType effects ?
Jojos
P.S: The mov itself has audio when played via Quicktime.

if I may ask for the steps I would be doing the following ?
1. Create the titling effect in LiveType
2. Export it to a quicktime movie
3. Open FCE4 and superimpose it into my main movie clip
4. Generate it as movie
In step 2, do I render a movie or generate it as a quicktime movie? May I know what's the difference and which offers a better quality ?
Appreciate your reply.

I am having an issue importing CDs into iTunes.

When I import a CD into iTunes, certain songs are separated into a different "folder". It seems as though they are songs where another artist is involved in the song. I want the entire CD in one place. Can anyone help?

If you have an album with multiple artists, but you want them grouping together in folder (and also within the 'Artists' section on iPod) - ensure that the tag of 'Album Artist' is the same for everysong - for instance "Various Artists"
This means that itunes will still keep the album together both in its source folder AND in iTunes even though you may have a "Hits 2012" album for instance.

Issues importing pictures into the project I want

When I import a photo it imports into the project I want but also creates a second "new" project in the same folder, how do I get it to only import where I want? I appreciate any help.

Hi Ulrich
The picture size does not matter, but rather a setting in Administration > System Initialization > General settings > Display TAB. On this tab you will find a setting with a drop down called "Ext. Image Processing". Set this to full and the full quality of any pictures will be used, but of course resized to fit the field. Bear in mind that images are not embedded in the tables but only the file name of the image is stored in the table.
Kind regards

Issue importing ESS into CMS

I am having difficulty checking in the SCA file for ESS. I have set up the Domain, Track, etc. using the scenario 2+ steps. I've added the software component to the track. However, when I go to the transport studio and try to check in my component is not available in the drop-down. Do I have to move the ESS.sca into the CMS_CBS folder to make it available for check in?
Thanks in advance!

Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3

I have a Sony HDR-XR100 HD video camera. It saves files with an .m2ts extension. This extension is not supported by CS3. Using Sony's PMB (Picture Motion Browser), I convert the .m2ts files to .mpeg2. When I import these files into Premier, they appear, but have no audio. How do I import the audio? Thanks.
David

I put it in the main Premier folder, presumably like you did, and it worked. I'm not real familiar with Macs, but the folder I put it in was "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3". There are several other files there with similar names. If that doesn't work, I'm lost, since obviously I had to come here for help myself :).

Subject: Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3
Hey, I'm using CS for Mac and I'm having the same issue , importing .mpg into PPro and get no audio.
I found the ad2ac3dec.dll file online but I'm not sure what folder to place it in. I've found the folder named Adobe Premire Pro CS3 and just pasted it into that but it didn't work.
My camera only records in .mpg and I really don't want to spend money on a converter after spending a bucketload for CS3...
Any help would be much appreciated!

Issues Importing MP3s

Hello all!
Has anyone had any issues importing files into iTunes (11.1.11), using one of the following methods:
1) File > Add to Library
2) Drag and drop from the Finder window
I've had nothing but issues importing files into iTunes - everything just beach balls!
The MP3s I want to import are fine to play - no corruption etc - but I think the issue lies with iTunes.
Anyone remember the File > Import File / Import Folder option? I feel that the coding hasn't worked properly since the update (nor did it work on the previous version of iTunes) and it'll crash if you try to just import a folder or folders. It's OK if I go into the folder and highlight all the tracks and import them, but defeats the purpose if you want to import several folders.
I'm just frustrated that Apple have managed to break something that seemed to be working well into something that is a little sloppy.

Hi,
I have not had any problems adding files using file > add to library. The only time I've had a problem when the file kind was not shown as Mp3 Audio. This was because the file name did not show .mp3 and kind was "document" rather than mp3 audio. Could this be the cause?
