Audio Render Problem

Used to be I'd import an Mp3 music track, render it once, then could manipulate levels to my hearts content without having to render again. Now, suddenly, for some unknown reason, every time I manipulate the level, I have to render. Some setting somewhere. Any ideas?

Nor sure why you loose the render.
I'd suggest you convert your MP3 to aiff format before bringing it to FCE. Don't forget to match the aiff audio rate to your current Sequence setting, either 32 or 48 kHz.
iTunes can easily convert the file unless your audio is DRM protected.

  • Audio Render Problems Again

    I'm having problem again rendering a one hour presentation. If I use Command/R, the dialog box indicates seven or more days. If I highlight the selection I get essentially the same estimated time.
    Command/R usually works, but not this time. Audio For Playback is checked.
    The DV timeline plays in Quick Time OK.
    I desperately need to get this video sent out! I even deleted preferences using the "Preference Manager" program.

    All of my lecture video series are recorded in LP 16 bit audio. Each lecture is between 1 to 1.5 hr in length. I have successfully completed 10 of the 23.
    Each lecture is sent to iMovie HD and then the timeline.mov is placed into FCE. One other time the timeline audio would not render, so I converted it to DV via MPEG Stream Clip and placed it back into FCE. The lecture I'm having trouble with is #11.
    As mentioned, usually Command-R will do the trick in 10 minutes or so, not 6 to 10 days.

  • 30 Second Audio Render problem in Adobe Media Encoder?

    I've been trying a few things out to fix this, but no luck.
    Ok, so I export videos with a audio spectrums where audio would be necessary. Now I want to do this all in After Effects without editing the Audio in in Premiere Pro. After Effects does not render in H.264. So I send it Adobe Media Encoder. When I export to AME, the first 30 seconds is mute, without fail. only on AME though. I can export straight through AE with .mov and it works fine. but I don't like doing that with the large filesize. I also did this with WebM. Audio does not export for 30 seconds on AME.
    I like to send everything to AME. So if I have to go to premiere to fix audio I will. so after fixing everything I send it over to AME and let it export. for some reason, it WILL give me audio. Is there something wrong with my settings in AE or AME?
    Everything is CC if that helps any

    OK, give this a shot.

  • CS4 Audio Export Problem

    Hi
    I'm fairly new to CS4 and have picked up an audio export problem, more than likely with a setting of sorts. For some reason when I export to MPEG2 -DVD via the Media Encoder, the video portion is fine as well as any audio that has been placed and edited on tracks audio 1 and 2 in PP. However, if there is additional audio placed on tracks 3 or 4 for example (say a music MP3 overlay) then this does not come out ... only audio placed on tracks 1 and 2 in PP come out. I have checked the obvious like making sure the tracks aren't muted etc but to no avail. Also tried changing from PCM audio to MPEG ... Stereo to 5.1 mixdown ... nothing doing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards

    Thanks Harm ... got SnagIt and with a few helpful YouTube tutorials ... am in business. Hunt and John, also thanks ... the other method equally as good. Now, I have attempted to attach my screen shot which should display my CS4 timeline and associated audio monitor windows above. By the way, this was for a wedding and as indicated, you will notice an MP3 lying in audio track 3 which as mentioned is my problem as it is not audible after render via Media Encoder. But remember, the moment I slip this MP3 up into audio track 1 or 2 above ... problem solved. I know there must be something small like a setting gone wrong or incorrect. As mentioned, any help would greatly appreciated.
    Thanks to you all.

  • Premiere CS4 - Audio sync problems, Encoding Problems

    Hi,
    I've been using Premiere CS3 for encoding 20-25 minute videos to deploy on a Flash Media Streaming server.
    Today I upgraded to CS4 and everything that I render to FLV/FV4, H264 or Quicktime format has serious audio sync problems when I use AAC as the audio codec. Unfortunately for me, AAC is the codec that I need to use for the streaming server. The audio is synchronized to begin with, but it gets progressively unsynched as the video progresses.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using bitrates of 256 kbps, 512kbps for the video and 24 kbps / 32 kbps for the audio.
    Another thing that I've noticed is that many of the options that I used when encoding videos are no longer available!! For instance, I cannot generate hinting tracks for Quicktime, and most of the audio frequencies are gone for Quicktime as well.
    What a disappointment:(
    -Chris

    Seems to be an on going issue with no response from Adobe.  Have the same issue with the audio running ahead of the video.  (Cool if this was an old Japanese monster video).
    Running CS4 PP & AME all updates are current.  Nvida Quardro CX (current drivers 4.20.006) used several formats (Elemental h.264 to MPEG-2) same issue.

  • Urgent audio tracks problem, please help

    I am on deadline, and suddenly a major audio problem has popped up. As far as I can tell, it started when I exported some sequences to QuickTime (uncompressed, self-contained) to show my client.
    The exported MOVs look and sound fine, but now that I've gone back into FCP to do some final edits, the sound tracks are playing corrupted music. I have tracks A1 and A2 playing stereo music, in AIFF. The waveforms look fine, but they are playing out of sync, with the tracks dropping out randomly. I tried deleting the music and reimporting, but no luck. I also tried laying down a different mp3, rendering that, and playing--also no luck. I tried creating a new project. I went into my AutoSave Vault and opened up a previous version of the project, before the issue appeared, and even that no longer plays properly. I don't believe I changed any settings, and my sequence settings are the same, but clearly FCP is not playing my audio tracks correctly.
    Anyone come across anything like this before? I couldn't find anything on any forums. Thanks in advance.

    It sounds like the issue only appears once the audio clips have been rendered (which is what would happen when you output a QT for a client). Do the audio clips have small lime-green bars at the top like on p. 649 of the manual? First, use the render manager to delete all your audio render files. Does that clear up the problem? If it does, you need to determine in what way your audio differs from the sequence settings. I would guess it's a different sample rate. If you convert the sample rate to match your sequence settings (probably 48 kHz, 16-bit) using Soundtrack Pro or QT before you import into FCP that might make a difference.

  • Audio Render

    Am I to understand that it is safe to delete audio render and render files? This will not cause a problem when I go to re-open the project? Just want to be sure.
    Thanks.

    Assuming all your original media is still in place, the only "problem" you'll experience is the need to re-create the render files as part of further work on the project.

  • FCE2 RENDERED Audio has chunks missing (Not an Audio Mixdown problem)

    Hi,
    I have been using FC for a couple of years but I have been experiancing audio problems that that baffle me in the last few days(no sw/hw changes).
    To cut a long story short, I have found the RENDERED* audio is missing large chunks of audio(although the sequence timeline shows the waveform) so it cuts out when playing back in the Canvas. The file imported plays OK in the Viewer & the source file(s) plays OK in Quicktime & in iMovie.
    * in the "Audio Render Files"/project folder
    This has happend using imported MP3 & DV files.
    I have tried Audio Mixdown but it didn't help.
    Any suggestions as to what the cause/solution might be ???

    Hi(Bonjour)
    Is there any song purchased on iTune in your project?.
    If so, you can't use this file in this format, because this file is protected with AAC-DRM (digital rights management).
    You can export this song to a CD in aiff format (audio CD) in iTune, and import this newly converted file into FCE after copying it on your hard drive.
    If you song is in MP3, convert it to aiff from Quicktime player Pro.
    FCE "like" aiff file format for sound.

  • Unbelievably slow audio render times!

    I've been dealing with his for a while now on this documentary I've been working on. When I export my timeline which is right around an hour, it takes around 2 HOURS just to render audio previews before it will export! The bulk of my timeline is a single track with no effects at all. Video renders faster than the audio! The only thing unusual about my project is it is largely composed of longish multi-cam sequences - about 30 sequences ranging from 30 mins to 90 mins. It's appears PP is rendering audio for every bit of my source sequences even though only a few seconds or minutes of each one is actually being used. I don't know what else could be happening.
    I was thinking that since some of the audio was recorded at 44.1K maybe that was a problem and some of the sequences had several tracks of audio so to solve this I went through every sequence and rendered out a stereo mix at 48/16 and deleted the old audio. That seemed to help for a while as with CS6 I was getting a very annoying "rendering required audio files" message every time I hit play until I rendered the audio which as I said takes a really long time. Also I can render this but if I close Premiere and re-open I have to render it all over again. It is not keeping the audio render files. Premiere CC is better about playing back without the render message but it still needs to render for export. I have no idea why it would need to render audio from 48/16 source files.
    I have reported this to Adobe but just thought I'd put this here to see if anybody else is having issues. If any audio rendering should ever be required in this day and age it should be extremely fast. This problem has really brought exporting to a crawl for this project.
    Adobe CC, OSX 10.8.4 on a 12 core Mac Pro with a GTX 570 32GB ram, and BM Studio. My RAID is a 3 disk internal raid with 3 3TB disks in RAID 0. The video renders reload properly. The situation would be better if the audio renders reloaded at least but why it needs to render "audio previews" for such simple audio is beyond me. And as I mentioned I went through quite a bit of trouble to make it as easy on Premiere as possible by replacing all of the 44.1 audio with 48/16 wavs.

    Let me start by saying I am only a hobbyist and do this more for my son and niece since they are musicians and play live in a number of venues.  I am not an electrical or audio engineer (I am an aeronautical engineer) so what I am about to say is based only on what seems logical to me…  First rendering audio should simply be faster than rendering video given the amount of digital data that needs to be processed.  That stated, I know that the Mercury engine using CUDA to process video vastly speeds the rendering of video.  Regardless, using today’s CPUs (i7 3930K in my case) should and does more than make up for the additional processing power for rendering video using CUDA. 
    It seems to me that there is a bigger problem than whether or not we are flattening, nesting or locking our tracks.  It shouldn’t take as long as it is taking for some of us to render audio!!!
    I only experienced this problem one time.  I am not even sure what I did to change the outcome on the same project that I have since edited and rendered many times.  But now the audio renders very quickly (less than a minute).  I will say that in almost all cases my music videos have different audio sources (44.1KHz, 48KHz 16bit, 48KHz 24bit, and 96KHz 24bit) and that I set all my sequences to 96KHz since my master audio sources are recorded at that.  I use an external firewire RME Fireface 800 using RME ASIO divers to handle all audio.  I do find that this setup can be stubborn in that there are times PPro CC doesn’t know what to do regarding my audio so simply won’t allow me to play any track.  When this happens I simply remind PPro CC of my settings by going to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware then check that the Adobe Desktop Audio is set to ASIO FireFace and click on ASIO Settings to check that the buffer size and sample rate are correct.  If they are not I read the flash from the RME and all is good. 
    But I diverge, there is a problem Adobe and it needs to be fixed.  This never happened to me using CS6…

  • Audio sync problem with videos imported from iPod Touch

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I used to shoot video at a family birthday party. When I imported the footage into iMovie '11, the audio is not in sync with the video (video is about two seconds behind audio) and there is only the left channel of audio. I verified that the video on the iPod plays just fine--no audio sync problem, both left and right channels work. I just upgraded to iOS 5 on the iPod Touch. The iMac is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    As a workaround, I can import the video into iPhoto instead. When I play the video in iPhoto, there are no audio sync problems and both channels of audio can be heard. I have imported other iPod Touch videos successfully into iMovie '11 in the past few months, but this has been the first time these problems have occurred. Any help would be appreciated.

    Premiere cannot handle clips with variable framerate.
    Your converted clips need to have constant framerate.
    Otherwise use a converter like Handbrake.

  • Mac mini audio output problems

    This is similar to a problem that appeared before, but with a different twist.
    On 4 July all was well. On 5 July I switched on and there was no "chord" from the Mac. When I collected my mail - no sound from my speakers (which are part of my screen). Logged on to a couple of sites - no sound.
    The System Profiler, under the "Audio (Built In)" category, says: "No Built-in Audio." I know that's wrong because it's always worked before and when I plug my headset in it works fine.
    When I go to the Sound preferences panel in System Preferences, it finds the headset but if I unplug that it finds nothing.
    I tried running the hardware test (by putting in the OS X install disc and holding D during startup.) It couldn't find a problem.
    So, as far as I can see, audio output is fine for the USB headset output but not for the others. Is there a simple fix? The nearest Apple store is about 200 miles away and I don't fancy the idea of posting the Mac off.
    (And I think it's still under warranty for a couple more weeks.)
    Mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    hello mini users with the "no audio output" problem
    it seems that there are faulty output jacks in the macbook and the mac mini
    there are two things you can try:
    i tried everything and began thinking about what new software i had installed. it was "macam" which enables you to use older webcams on OSX. i needed that to use my webcam on skype.
    macam installs a file called "macam.component"
    if you have the same, do this - take that file out of:
    (your hard drive)/library/quicktime - macam.component
    and just put it on your desktop
    restart, then in your sound pref's choose your audio output (if doesn't work restart again)
    the first time i took it out, i had my sound back instantly, another time i had to choose audio output in sound prefs. you kind of have to try different things. after you get your sound back, you can put back "macam.component" to use your webcam.
    it seems macam causes the problem, the two can not work at the same time.
    the second thing: if you dont have "maccam" try plugging and unplugging output jack a few times and restarting until you have sound.
    the problem still could be with the OSX 10.4.10 update / quicktime...or maybe even a hardware problem like others with macbooks were saying (with the red light), not sure.
    people with macbooks and who have the red light on, say to use a paperclip to turn off the switch inside.
    my mini does not have a red light on. i tried using a paperclip but it doesnt work.
    hope this helps, beleive me i feel your pain!!!!
    what good is a computer without sound?

  • Itunes can't run bc of audio configuration problem

    Well I've been using itunes for about 2 years now and just recently i installed the newer version. It was working fine until today when my computer told me ther was some kind of computer error and that i should do a system restore. So i did a restore to about 2 weeks ago which was before i updated my itunes. And then i was getting the message that my itunes was missing files and could not run. So i ran a repair on it and still got the same error. Then I deleted it adn reinstalled and I got the error "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration.
    So then I undid the system restore and tried itunes to see if it would work. And I was still getting the same message that itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration. So then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still getting the same message.
    Can someone help me out? What problem would it be with my audio configuration? I haven't changed anything. Is there something i can adjust to fix the problem? I'm clueless....

    the message is typically produced by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    perhaps let's start with the following document:
    iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes had detected an audio configuration problem
    ... but if no joy there, try this alternate technique for swapping out your QuickTime:
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
