Audio Problem in Timeline

I am placing a short audio clip to the timeline and am using the fade in/fade out behavior, however as I am trimming the clip the green part that shows how long the clip is and the green part that shows the audio wavelengths do not match up. So when I use this behavior it does not fade out properly because the behavior is matching up with the audio length and not the wavelength, so the audio will fade out but then abruptly come back. The behavior will also not let me elongate it because it thinks the clip is over. Here is a picture of what it looks like:
See what I mean? I've restarted the program, but it still loads like this.
Any help would be awesome!
Thank you!

Are you using the fade in fade out handles your screen shot doesnt really show any detail..have you tried zooming in?
Sorry I was thinking in FCPX ...but try zooming in....and turn off snapping

Encore 1.5 -problem getting audio on the timeline

hi - newbie question!!!- i am trying to add audio to my mpeg2 video clip on the timeline in encore 1.5 - i believe you drag and drop the asset from the projects tab into the timeline but when i open the timeline and click the projects tab the timeline dissapears so i am unable to drop audio into the timeline.
is there any way of ensuring both tabs are open at the same time to allow this ?

What workspace do you have set up?
In our installation of Encore 1.5 it is perfectly possible to have the project assets list and a timeline both open at the same time.

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.

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.

Audio problem Premiere Elements 9 MTS extension

I open a new tread because the other tread was at the end.
I'm looking for people having PE9 running on Windows 7-64 (Ultimate) and having audio problems (or having no problems) with AVCHD files with the extension MTS.
I'm investigating this problem for some months now and tried all suggestion done to me in other treads. Such as all project settings.
In the near past I had PE8 running on Windows Vista, where I had no audio problems with MTS files.
The more I read in forums the more I'm convinced it's the combination windows 7 (64 Ultimate) with PE9 (maybe also 8).
So please let me know when you have PE9 (or PE8) running correct on Windows 7. Other operating systems I know it works fine.
Thank you!!!

It works fine for me on W7u-64 bit. The only problems I have are inconveniences - opening files from the starting window is slow compared with PRE7, redrawing thumbnails on the timeline is agonisingly slow (although you can carry on working while the thumbnails are redrawing), and the loss of all the GPU Effects and Transitions.
Cheers,
Neale

Solve my corrupted audio problem for $$ and eternal gratitude

My video project has corrupted audio suddenly. I've read about other audio problems when exporting, but all I did was save the project while editing, no export. I have the prefs set to extract audio at pasteover, which I've done a lot of for this 2-camera wedding shoot. I also have the second audio track occasionally used for background music. All three tracks (video, audio 1, audio 2) on the timeline have corrupted audio for the entire length of the project. It sounds like a helicopter whirr was added, it's very choppy. Also, both cpus are maxxed out and the process monitor shows iMovie utilizing 180%+ consistently. When iMovie isn't running, it's in the single digits. As soon as I load iMovie the cpus max out. This hasn't happened the whole project, just recently. So what changed? I don't know. I've been doing the same thing the whole time, the pasteovers, the add titles, the add background track, saving the project every couple of minutes. Each time I've saved, it looks like it's listing off different files or clips, not just the changed clips. I've tried deleting the QT movie it created in the cache and let it recreate to see if that would help, but it didn't. Would deleting the files in the waveform cache help? I've got about 30 hours into this project already and would love to resurrect this audio if possible. Either that or it's Jim Beam and call it a day. I thought this was non-destructive editing, but apparently that's just the originals? That doesn't help much when the whole project audio goes in the toilet and I'm looking at redoing this whole project. Anyone who can fix this is getting a big ol' sloppy kiss on the mouth and an iTunes gift certificate.

I've never personally seen the audio problems you describe, but there's some things I'd try before giving up. As you've probably read, it's not unusual to have playback problems in projects containing complex audio. The odds for it seem to increased in QuickTime 7.
1. Try opening the "TimeLine Movie.mov" that's inside the Cache folder of the project in QuickTime Player. If the audio plays okay there, the audio data is intact and you're seeing a playback anomaly in iMovie. (QuickTime Player may choke too, but don't conclude anything from that.)
To access the movie, Control-click on the project icon and choose "Show Package Contents".
2. Try exporting ONLY the project audio to an AIFF file, then import THAT back into the project and replace the audio you have. That will "flatten" the audio and make it much easier to play. (To be safe, on a copy of the project.)
Or if you have QuickTime Pro, you might try extracting all the audio from the Timeline movie.
To export to an AIFF file, choose File > Export, click on QuickTime, set the popUp menu to "Expert Settings", press Share, then from the top popUp menu, choose "Sound to AIFF". Choose the level of quality you want from the bottom popUp menu, then Save.
What may be going on here is that extracting audio has created MANY audio files in the project, some possibly very large. (Each time we extract audio from a clip that is part of a Media file shared with other clips, iMovie extracts ALL the audio from that Media file, not just the audio of the selected clip.) To see what audio files the project contains, look in the Media folder of the project.
If you get this solved, please say how.
Oh, and if you haven't updated to iMovie 7.1, you might try that. There were improvements in handling multiple audio tracks, I read somewhere.
BTW, it's usually not a good idea to change things inside the project package. iMovie can get pretty confused. The Timeline movie is replaced each time we save, so that's not a big deal.

Scrubbing audio enabled slows timeline

When I have audio scrubbing enabled timeline scrubbing is clunky and slow. It appears to only display various frames as if I were editing an MPEG file. (I am working with AVI's.) Turning off audio scrub solves the problem. The timeline responds lightning fast displaying every frame. Can someone explain why this is?
I am fairly new to premiere. I am just wondering if it is normal or whether I have an issue that can be corrected. The other edit system I have used for years scrubbed audio without an issue. Perhaps Premiere handles the audio differently.
Intel Core2 QUAD CPU 2.5 GHz
4 Gig Ram
Nvidea 9800GT
Vista 64 Bit OS

Turning off the "audio scrub" did eliminate part of my issue - I can now open a clip in the SOURCE monitor and scrub smoothly. However, when an in or out point is added to the clip, the scrubbing becomes very choppy. Tested the same clips in CS3 with no issues.
My machine is built for editing and far exceeds the minimum specs. Also, my clips are being stored on an internal SATA drive so it's not due to network or external drive lag. Any ideas on why this is happening? Why would it happen in CS4 but not CS3?
The issue is making it difficult/impossible to complete a project that contains hundreds of individual clips.

IMovie to iDVD audio problems

Hello,
I am using iMovie '09 (version 8.0.4). I have created a movie with mp3 audio files playing in the background with the clip volume at 0. The video clips are interspersed with some images every now and then as well as transitions. The movie plays quite well when i preview it in iMovie.
I then share the movie with iDVD (version 7.0.4). When I play the movie in iDVD, almost the entire thing plays perfectly except for this one little part. In that little part, audio from some clip starts playing along with the background music.
More things about my project:
1. I am using audio ducking only once, I know where it is in the timeline and it is working just fine
2. Where the problem occurs, I have looked if I might be doing something wrong in precision editor. Turns out I am not using precision editor on the clips where the audio problem occurs at all
3. All video clips around where the porblem occurs are at a volume of 0
I am confused. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin.
1 Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
3 Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
4. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Audio problem when importing video files.

Hello everyone,
I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
Cheers
Christophe
PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

Update to 10.0.5.
You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

Audio Delay In Timeline

Hello Everyone
It's me again still having audio problems. The next problem is there's a audio delay in the timeline, someone is speaking and I can see the video and audio not in sync.
How can I fix this problem?
Thank yoy
Sabrina

First, how are you viewing this? You need to view on an external NTSC monitor or TV at the very least. Viewing on your computer screen may not be accurate.
Is the delay consistent over time, or does audio drift further out of sync over time?
Do you see a red number at the top left of a clip, next to the clip name? If so, control-click on the red number and correct the sync there.
If no red number, it could be something else. What tape format? How was it captured?

Audio problem-- converting song to AIFF doesn't stop pops and cracks!!

i've converted mp3s to AIFF both thru itunes and quicktime. when i import them to my FCP HD timeline, they still sound distorted-- with the same cracks and slowness as it does when i try to play an mp3 without converting the song format.
i have made settings 48/16bit to match my footage.
why isn't this working? any tips?

hi david,
thanks for trying to help. i'm still having the audio problem-- the aiffs sound clean in both quicktime and itunes, crackly and distorted in fcphd.
my fcp sequence setting is for 1080i/60 HDV 29.97fps with audio set to 48khz/16bit stereo.
any ideas would be appreciated!
thanks,
sybil

MXF export with audio problems

Hi!
At the brodcast station that I work we recently upgrade to premiere CC. Our workflow are almost XDCAM files (MXF) and whe an edition is finished we export to MXF to play out or copy to XDCAM disc.
Recently I have a multi camera project and everything works perfect but when I export to an MXF file the sound as a "blank frame" in sound. The concert as an hour and twenty minutes and at the fisrt second
theres is that little "cut" in sound that doesn't exist in timeline.
I tryed various ways to export and everytime I got this frame in the same place. I also export timelines with 2 minutes from other projects, more simple, and always I got a "blank frame" somewhere in audio.
Tryed to export with 2 channels, 8 channels, stereo timeline multichannel timeline and everything result in a MXF in this audio issue.
Anyone already detect this exporting to MXFs, any sugestion to resolve this problem?

Thank you norok65 for replying this post.
I searched for some post with my problem and I didn't find so I post this one. I'm "glad" that I'm not the only one having this Kind of problem.
Like you said the problem cames with some updates. We used Premiere CS5 and no problem with MXF. We tryed the CS6 to possible update and
at the begining no problem but after some updates this problem appears and we abandoned the CS6 and we tested the CC. No problem with CC
and we did the migration. So, CC export MXFs with no problem but after some updates the audio problems came up again.
I think the problem is the updates and Adobe must fix this.
Jim, I already did some tests and exported only audio to WAV and no problem. Other formats like quictime no problem too.
This kind of problem only appears with MXF.
Like I said our workflow are almost everything in MXF (XDCAM) and we wish this issue can be solved.

No Audio In FCPX Timeline, But It's In The Clip Window

I grabbed some video with my iPhone and imported it into FCPX. I'm ready to start editing, so I drag the clip into the timeline -- but there's no audio. Previewing the clip in the Clip window/area pays the audio just fine -- but I get nothing in the Timeline. I see the waveform, I see the meter moving like it should -- but no audio.
What am I doing wrong?

rlib3 wrote:
Luis! Hi, it's me again...the person with the conversion issues? Anyway, that has been solved thankfully. My new problem is what has been mentioned in this thread. Audio in Clip Viewer but not when dropped in the Timeline. I attempted the fixes suggested in this thread but I'm using FCP Version 4.0.1 (old, I know) and the steps given aren't the same. The first part of my project has audio in the Timeline...I'm guessing I clicked or unchecked something...I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out. Even pulled out the manual! Let me know if you have any suggestions and thank you in advance!
I have not used older versions in a while, but I guess you may have disconnected the little "a1" from the big "A1" as seen in the image below. Drag to reconnect them. If this is not it, then I can only suggest you ask this in the Final Cut Studio forum (or Final Cut Express forum - I imagine that is what you are using).

Audio problems when exporting files from Premiere Pro CS5

I try to post in English.
I have audio problems in Premiere Pro CS5 when exporting a film.
I cut an interview. The sound seems not to be synchronized when exporting a file. It doesn´t matter what file format I export. On cutting points the sound is different to the sound I hear in premiere. In premiere the audio sounds very good but in exported file I hear cracks on cutting points.
When I reimport the audio file an put it in the timeline the synch point is correct but the interview differs about 2 frames to the original audio in premiere.
The material was filmed on Sony ex3. The files are XDCam HD. I have updated the production suite.
Thanks for answers
Frieder

Also, make sure that you check the box marked "Export Audio" if you want a MP4 extension.
