Audio stutter in timeline

I'm having some trouble with audio playback in the timeline in a HDV project. When I play the audio in the viewer, everything is just fine, but when I play it in the Timeline it stutters and seems to go just a fraction to slow (duration is the same though) Rendering doesn't help, so i don't think it's a RT problem.
I can export the sequence and audio will play back fine.
If i change the sequence settings to DV, the problem is gone, but it's a HD project.
Any ideas?

PE13 Audio Stutter on Export to AVCHD

PE13 users, I need a bit of advice on troubleshooting an export of some HD video to AVCHD. Coming from PowerDirector 12, I just purchased PE13 and am experimenting with the software. Several video clips shot via Sony camcorder 1920x1080 60i 30 FPS, none more than about 2 minutes each, for a total of about 7 minutes. I've imported these clips into a new PD13 project, added a few transitions, and exported as M2T - H264 1920x1080i 30 (audio setting: Dolby Digital, 192 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo). Video looks great, however, audio stutters a bit in some places, a lot in others, and plays fine for stretches. It should be noted that I exported even longer video of similar settings via PowerDirector and have not experienced any audio stutter ever.
When I export this same project as MP4 - H264 1920x1080p 30 (audio setting: AAC, 160 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo) the audio plays flawlessly.
Are there any settings that may eliminate this stuttering when exporting as M2T - H264? It looks like I may be able to reduce the kbps of the M2T file to 160, but would rather not if it wouldn't make any difference anyway. I'll experiment when I get home to see if lowering kbps helps, but in the meantime, any other advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks for bringing your thread to attention.
When hitting the Reply button to reply, I found a post that I started to send you and apparently did not. The content that I found was
I would say go with the AVCHD.mp4
But consider you can take your Timeline to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc using
Publish+Share
Disc
Blu-ray
and have a choice of Presets
Presets
H.264 1440 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
H.264 1440 x 1080i PAL Dolby
H.264 1440 x 1080p NTSC Dolby NEW
H.264 1920 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
H.264 1920 x 1080i PAL Dolby
H.264 1920 x 1080p NTSC Dolby NEW
The 1080p ones have frame rate of 23.97 progressive frames per second. The 1080i have are either
25 interlaced frames per second or 29.97 interlaced frames per second depending on NTSC or PAL.
If you want to export to file saved to the computer hard drive, a good choice in your case for a later burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc
would be
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
You cannot customize the burn to presets. But, you can customize the preset for the export to file saved to the computer hard drive.
But, those settings will be overwritten in the encoding process in the burn to process to give you the format cited above.
Please let us know if that targets your question.
Thank you.

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?

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.

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.

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

lazyboredom
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.

Audio Wave in Timeline

I am pretty sure one time I had it so the audio in the timeline had the wave that goes along with it which helped line up the video with the audio. How can I do this? Thanks.

OptionCommandW will toggle the waveform display on/off
The keywords are 'show audio waveforms'. Do a search in the FCP help to read about other the ways you can turn them on/off.
good luck.

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.

Constant Power Transition Causing Audio Stutter in Exports

I've now had this happen with two completely seperate projects today where I preview my edit, everything looks and sounds good, but then when I export there's a clear audio stutter wherever I used a constant power audio tansition. My solution thus far has just been to take out these transitions, but I'm wondering when this will be fixed.
NOTE: I experienced the Constant Power bug that happen last month that sounded like a super loud buzz. This is different.
Is anyone else experienceing this problem?

Slight audio stutter in IDVD 6 when played on TV

I am new to IDVD, but the program seems pretty good. The only issue I am having is slight audio stutter throughout the slideshow on the burned DVD when played on a TV. I tried multiple TVs and they all had the same hiccup occur and at the same spot. The slideshow plays great in IDVD without any hiccups or hesitation. Also, the audio file is being imported from itunes and I have listened to it several times to rule out a bad song file. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Aparently, I am just going to create my own thread documenting my frustration on this journey
You learn more that way.
According to their documentation, this is actually a DVD player issue and not an encoding issue. Ok??? Then, how come other programs are able to seemlessly play over 99 slides without the hiccup?
Slideshow audio playback drops out after 99 images at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302962 explains things.
DVD slideshows with more than 99 images are a recent 'hack' created by Apple. Images in such a slideshow are treated as Chapters and DVDs are limited to 99 Chapters per Track. When you use more than 99 images, your DVD player must jump to a new track for the 100th image. Some players can do this with no problem, others have a hiccup in the audio, and still others reset eveything.
The ONLY sure way of creating a slideshow with audio and more than 99 slides is to create one as a movie in iPhoto or iMove.
Sorry, but that's the way things work.

Set up timeline to process audio dynamics before timeline levels

I'm having some issues getting audio to respond as I expect it to. What I'd like is for a track in my timeline to have a compressor (the Dynamics effect) run on it across the entire track. Then I'd like to be able to use the [] keyboard shortcuts to mix the audio in the timeline on a clip level. What is the best way to set up the timeline to do that?

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.

One track of Audio in the timeline

I am only getting one track of audio in the timeline when I drag my clip from the viewer. In the viewer the audio is in stero, but when I drag it to the timeline it only one channel. Is there a setting that I change to get two channel of audio in the timeline?
Thanks for the help
JEFF

Right (or control + click) over in the patching bay at the left of the timeline and see if it sees both a1 and a2. Assign the one you can't see to a patch and that might bring it back.
