Audio recording problem in premier pro cs4

The audio (voice using microphone) I have recorded using the sound mixer in premier pro plays back at a high speed for some reason. The voice sounds like "Alvin from the Chipmonks". Can anyone explain why this is happening?
Joe

Joe,
Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere forum. This was the precursor to PrPro. The MOD's will probably move this out to the PrPro forum, so more folk will see it and can respond.
Now, did you use a USB mic? Many have had issues with those.
Also, going back about a year, there was a similar thread, and the description was about the same - "chipmunk." I do not recall the flow of that thread, or the resolution, but will try to find it. I just hope that it was not before the forum changeover, as it is likely gone forever.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] OK, I think that this is the THREAD.

  • Problem importing Premier Pro CS4 files into CS5

    I have loaded Premier Pro CS5 onto a spanking new 64 bit machine.  When I import a CS4 project file into CS5, it asks me to locate the raw video files but nothing else.  All titles with graphics in them are without the graphics. The text is OK.  The graphics have disappeared.  How do I import a project so the titles are complete and don't have to be rebuilt?  .

    Can you please give your system specs?
    In particular, how many physical HDD you have as well as memory. OS, CPU etc.
    Also - what are the scratch disc settings in Premiere?
    Finally - what is the video type - SD? HD?
    Please give as many details as possible as it sounds like your system is going into overdrive.

  • Problems importing Sony Handycam mpg files into Premier Pro CS4

    I'm investigating Premier Pro CS4 for video editing and if I can make it work okay then I will purchase the Master Collection. Otherwise I may go to the MAC and use Final Cut. I need immediately to edit files downloaded from a Sony HandyCam that come off in an mpg format I believe it is (MPEG-2). My understanding is that the Premier Pro supports the importing of mpg files.
    When I attempt to import one of theses mpg files I get the error, "Unsupported file format or damaged file." I know the files are okay because I can play them with Windows Media Player and have been able to edit them with Window Movie Maker. Now I need a more robust editing environment and am looking at Premier Pro to be the solutions.
    Has anyone had experience with importing mpg files? Is there a Codec needed? If so where can I get it and how do I install it?

    Adobe wouldn't help me on the phone, as I haven't got a support contract. Perfectly rational by them, just stupid.
    I've asked my software supplier to forward on some questions and a link to this thread to Adobe support and they should be looking at it soon.
    Also, there is another possible solution that might help those of you with full versions.
    There is some advice here on one way to give Premiere Pro the ability to import MPEGs.
    http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/premiere/pro/import/mpeg-ac3.html
    This is very attractive to me - as I know the AC3 audio codec is used by my MPEG files and it sounds like it could be a solution. Of course, I've tried it, and I still get the same error.
    I ran the files through TSRemux and got the same 'file format not supported' error message.
    I've also been trying to import a .mov file into the trial version and I get the same error. Jim, would you be able to help me by saying in which other ways the trial version is limited?

  • Can't export to tape on Premier Pro CS4 Extended

    When I attempt to export to tape from Premier Pro CS4 Extended, version 4.1.0, to a DV Cam, the tape rolls and records (with device control) but I get no video or audio.
    I have:
    -selected the timeline for the sequence
    -the work area bar is over the entire sequence
    -I’ve made sure the tape is record enabled
    -I have tried two DV cameras, and three fire wire cords
    -I am able to capture video into the computer using all of the above
    -I’ve tried moving my project from my external hard drive to my internal one
    Still no export…….
    Any ideas why?
    -I am using a Dell computer with:
                - Windows XP Professional 2002 Service pack 3
                - Intel[R] Core [TM]2 Quad CPU
                -Q9450 @ 2.66JHz

                -Unfortunately I can not find the name of my video card but this computer was   built specifically to edit video so I am sure it has one.

    Make sure External Device under Export is enabled in the Playback Settings of the Program monitor.

  • Premier pro CS4

    I have been using Adobe Premier Pro CS4 which was installed on my macbook around 3 years ago at the University of Rhode Island.  Since upgrading to Yosemite OX10.10, my premier pro applications do not open.  I contacted Adobe about this, and they asked for the product serial number (which I never had).  I have been retired for two years.  My University tells me that they are unable to provide me with that serial number...they no longer have the program disks.  Is there anything I can do short of buying a new Adobe Premier Pro?  I think I am still entitled to purchase a student/teacher edition as an emeritus professor.  What would I have to send in to Adobe to prove that I am (will a two year old paycheck stub do?

    Being quite old, the reason CS4 won't load on your Mac running Yosemite may be because since Mac OS 10.8 (you are running Yosemite, which is 10.10) some old programs won't run due to Mac OS dropping support for 32-bit applications. 
    Someone who knows more than me might be able to get into the finer points of it but basically your problem is due to your new (up-to-date) Mac OS dropping support (the ability to run) for your older version of the software.
    You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Premiere Pro I think.

  • Premier Pro CS4 install issues.

    Hello - I am trying to install Premier Pro CS4 onto a Win XP/SP3 machine that already has CS5 Premium installed.  The reason I need Premier CS4 is simple - I am still running a 32 bit machine. So, the download and install went without a hang or a hitch, but when I try to start the program I get a "Lincensing for this product has expired" error message.  Prior to the install, I had a copy of Premier 5.0 installed, but it was uninstalled that prior to this install.  During the install I get the green check mark with the serial number, and after three attempts at install/uninstall, (two installs with the serial number, and the last install attempt as a "trial" install) I am getting the same error when I try to open Premier, Encore, OnLocation or Media Encoder.  I tried to call the Adobe "help line" but after listening to mind-numbing muzak for an hour I gave up, and came here.  Anyone have any ideas on how to get this up and running?  I HAVE to get video edited by Thursday with this.
    Thank you all, in advance.
    Alan Staats

    ...Thank you, Mr. Smith.  Resolved the problem by rolling back the date to 1 Jan 2006, opening Premiere, deactivating it, closing it, and re-opening it whereupon I was prompted for the "new" serial number.  Turns out my assistant had downloaded and installed a trial version of it, and never removed it after the trial period ended.
    By the way, I know that Premiere CS5 is a 64 bit program, which is why I downloaded and installed CS4 on my 32 bit machine.  The 5.0 reference was literally to Premiere 5.0, a much earlier version of the program which I used for a short period around the turn of the century!
    Again, thank you for the information and references.

  • Blending mode in Adobe Premier Pro CS4 not working???

    in Adobe Premier Pro CS4, the "multiply" blending feature is not  working properly. When there's no video underneath the "blending" layer,  it SHOULD not show anything, but instead the clip instead just shows  up.

    Well, the problem is that you're assuming that the "nothing" in the gaps in your PPro sequence is "something," when really, it actually IS "nothing"...
    OK, existentialism aside, when you see black in the Program Monitor that results from a gap between two clips, from a digital standpoint, there really is nothing there. Empty spaces in a PPro sequence are actually a fully transparent layer, created by an alpha channel that encompasses the entire frame. Since the Multiply mode is expecting RGB values to operate on, when it doesn't encounter any (due to the alpha channel) the effect is just ignored--that's why you see the clip with the Multiply mode when it crosses those gaps.
    You can correct this by filling your gaps with "real" black, either from an imported graphic or from the black video generator in PPro. Simply edit a bit of it into the gap so that there are no holes, and your multiplied clips will disappear.
    And for that matter, it's never a good idea to leave empty holes in a Premiere sequence; it's often the cause of rendering and exporting headaches.

  • Premier Pro CS4 crashed frequently

    While rendering the Premier Pro CS4 crashed frequently with the following message: "Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." any idea? the HW used is: HP workstation xw8600 with video card NVIDIA FX 4600. OS: Vista 32 bit

    Hello,
    Thanks for the help.
    #3 - I realy consider it as the final solution
    #2 - I already did it - didn't help
    Regarding #1 - I don't understand what exactly to delete. The UserFolder>Documents>Adobe>Premiere Pro>4.0 is my working folder of Premier Pro where I'm saving all my current medias and project.
    Shall I work with a different folder instead?

  • Unsupported or Corrupt tiff file in Premier Pro CS4

    I keep receiving a message: file is unsupported or corrupt when trying to do an import into Premier Pro CS4. I can open the file in windows photo viewer, Photoshop CS4 and other applications with no problem. I tried saving the file as a jpeg and then imported it into Premier Pro but the preview screen is black. Has anyone ever had this happen?It looks as though the only problem exists in Premier Pro.
    Joe

    Joe,
    I've seen this with image files, that have improperly formed headers. It most often happens with JPEG's, and often PS cannot open these, and will throw similar errors. For those, I just open the file in another program, one not so strict, and do a Save_As from that program. Then, PS can open the new one.
    I'd look into what is in your TIFF. Is it Layered, does it have Alpha Channels, and/or Paths. Is it RGB (CMYK will NOT work)? Is it 16-bit, or 8-bit? Those are just some of the possible problems. In PS, I would check the Color Mode, the Bit-depth, Flatten, Delete all Paths and Alpha Channels. If you need the Layers, or the Alpha Channels, then try doing a Save_As .PSD, and try again.
    Remember, no 16-bit/32-bit and no CMYK - 8-bit RGB only.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Audio Recording Problem - distorted

    Hey all,
    I got an audio recording problem here...
    When I try to record audio onto my project, the sounds is very poor and distorted. Plus, there is a pretty ugly delay. But when I use garageband, the sound is great and how it should be. So this makes me think that Logic has some sort of problem with my driver (Firebox) or somethin'.
    Here's my Setup
    -imac G5
    -Logic Pro 7.2 (Bought just a few days ago)
    -Presonus Firebox (audio interface)
    -Condensor Mic
    Cheers!

    Hi,
    It is possible that your FireBox is not the audio card set up in Logic, and that you are accidentally recording the built-in mic.
    If Garageband is seeing your FireBox corrctly, then it is the setup in Logic, and nothing else, that you should be looking at.
    Check your audio hardware and drivers.
    Cheers

  • Wich one best for Audio Recording using cubase and pro tools? MBP md102 or MBP md103? i often using a lot of VST

    wich one the best for Audio Recording using cubase and pro tools? MBP md102 or MBP md103? i often using a lot of VST too

    Well, I've been trying this for a while. By my calculations, at this rate, installing all the applications one by one and trying to restore all the data manually will take me about six years. I would finished just in time for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
    The main problem is, I don't know where all the bodies are buried. Just one example, I'm using Cornerstone for an svn client. I have working copies of multiple repositories on my computer. I really don't want to set them all up again, and I can't figure out where the Cornerstone preferences and all settings are stored. I couldn't find them in the Library anywhere.
    And that's just one case.
    I haven't done much with my MacBook Pro yet, I think in retrospect the easiest course of action is to reinstall OS X as though it were new MacBook Pro, start from scratch, and use my Time Machine backup with the migration assistant and go from there.
    And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm in the middle of reinstalling OS X.
    Afterwords I'll use a clean app uninstaller application to get rid of all the applications that I'm not using. And I'll just hack away at directories that I know I haven't looked at for years, with the confidence that I have a backup both in Time Machine and in CCC and also on my iMac. That's three backups.
    I would rather start out "light", but I can see it's just going to take forever and a day to get it done. Anyway, fortunately nothing is carved in stone, and I can always try again if I want to. But dealing with all the documents and all the applications one by one separately was just obviously going to take too much time.
    I'll report back on my results. And I appreciate your suggestion.

  • Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

    Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

    I know OSX 10.9 Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap which is meant to slow down applications that it determins are inactive (or when minimized). This would mostly likely cause problems if you're dynamically linking After Effects comps to your timeline or sometimes exporting to Media Encoder.
    Try disabling App Nap for all your Adobe App files...
    Go to your Applications folder
    Go into individual Adobe app folders (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC)
    Right-click on the Adobe app file (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC.app) and select Get Info
    When the info window opens up, add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
    Restart the application
    This fixed all my performance issues.
