Audio won't render

I have a nested sequence, HDV into HDV timeline, and the audio requires rendering. (once i open the nest up it can play in real time for some reason.)
Th problem is that it refuses to render at the moment. When i tell it to render for playback, the render progress bar comes up for only a fraction of a second, and nothing happens, the audio is still unplayable.
Any ideas? this is (of course) happening right before a deadline.
Can't remember changing anything about render settings etc, worked fine yesterday but failed to do anything when i left it to render overnight.
Any obvious suggestions of what might be wrong?

permissions are often a culprit when things refuse to render ... check your scratch disc settings for the location of your audio render files, then in the finder get info on the audio renders folder and make sure you can Read & Write

  • Quicktime file audio won't render in FCP

    Hi and please help if you can
    I have converted the windows media video files (with the extension .asf) into a Quicktime file using Quick Time Pro and Flip4Mac. I am trying to use the converted video in FCP, but when I import the converted quicktime file into FCP and I render the clip, the video will render and play fine, but the audio will not. I am getting the unrendered audio beeping sound. Did anyone encounter that problem before? Any advice.
    Thank you in advance.

    Try a one minute "cut" from your .asf file and export to DV Stream.
    Too many Windows formats do not follow anything except M$ formats and can't be converted from a Mac. Maybe try the export from a Windows box?

  • Timeline won't render in Premiere Elements 12 (and music video editing advice)

    I have a section of video I'm editing that won't render. I've read some similar threads but still have a question about how I can edit the clips to 'force' a render.
    I'm running PE 12 on a Core i3 laptop running Windows 8, so not a huge amount of processing power. I don't have an orange line above the timeline over these clips and I understand PE has decided that it's already giving me the best possible preview quality and doesn't need to render this section. However, it's four quick edits in time to some music and when I preview it back my computer clearly can't process the video and audio fast enough because I get very jerky video so I can't verify that the cuts are perfectly aligned to the drum beats.
    I've been exporting the whole four minutes just to review about five seconds of video in the middle to make sure it's synched, and this is getting really frustrating as I'm having to make frame by frame adjustments to improve the sync.
    Is there anything I can do to each clip, like adjust an image setting, to force PE to give me an orange line and want to render this section?
    Just as an aside to anyone who edits music video type clips - if you're making, say, four quick cuts to four drum beats in a bar, do you find the audio/visual sync works best if the cut is on the frame the drum beat attack starts on, or does it seem more natural if it's one or two frames after the initial attack so it's 'mid drum beat'? I'm tending to find just after the initial attack looks/sounds better for me - but maybe that's something to do with the delay in my PC processing the frame!
    Thanks for any advice,
    Chris.

    Please excuse the questions, but I did not want to take anything for granted...are you sure that you are looking above the Timeline content for the render indicator line? Assuming that you are OK with that.....
    Are the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar placed so that they span the entire content of the Timeline, including this five second content which you say cannot be rendered. Remember rendering does not fix problems, rather it is a preview that helps you to realize that a problem exists sooner than later. Consequently, please confirm if an orange line persists over that five second content even if you press the Render key above the Timeline.
    Have you expanded the Timeline content to the maximum with the Zoom Out Zoom In Slider above the Timeline get the best look at the content on the Timeline in contrast to get the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor?
    Have you gone to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and set the Audio Display Format to Milliseconds if you are involved in audio edits?
    Have you been nudging audio in sync with video using shortcuts, such as...
    As you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 1 frame nudge)
    As you hold down the Shift+Alt keys of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 5 frames nudge)
    I would suggest that exploration and experimentation are the best tools with which to work to achieve a specific effect for your specific
    situation.
    Please review and then let us know if any of the above targets your questions about your workflow.
    Thank you.

  • Audio won't play on top of video

    I have shot a simple interview style video and edited it in FCP. I created a simple acoustic guitar loop to play in the background using Garage Band and made it into an .aif format.
    I've dropped the file into FCP, but for some reason the audio won't come out for the loop. I still have audio from the video, but the loop doesn't come through. When I watch the audio meter as the video is playing, I can see it responding during silence as if the loop actually is actually playing, but it's not coming out. (I've even listened with headphones to ensure this.) I have turned off the audio from the movie, played the video, and I still SEE the audio for the loop playing, but it isn't coming out of the speakers. I've tried renduring, and still the loop doesn't come through. I have ensured that my Audio rate from my file matches the audio rate from my sequence presets. I've tried changing my audio outputs from all stereo to all mono, to 2 stereo and 2 mono, and I still can't get the audio to for my loop.
    Could someone help me out with this?

    I know, it's shocking that no one has responded to this.
    Anyway, No, I haven't created a new project, but it wouldn't matter because it would have the same settings as my original project. It's interesting to note that only the top two audio tracks will come through, and it's like anything below that will just simply not come out, even though the audio meter still registers the sound from the loop. (I've muted the sound from my video to ensure that it wasn't just background or room noise I was picking up.)
    The track I created doesn't show a need to render, but you are correct in that I already checked this. I did, however, take another look at all of my audio clips and the sound of my video is apparently in a mono format as well as my sound loop. (Not sure HOW those became mono, but nothing a simple remixing won't fix.) Anyway, seeing that all of my sound files were mono, I went into my settings and changed all of my audio outputs to mono. So I even have 8 -That's right, count 'em... 8 - mono channels for sound and the loop STILL wouldn't come through.
    I swear, sometimes this program makes me want to cus.

  • Clip won't render

    I have a timeline of a few clips and one of the clips in the middle won't render (the green line never appears above it).
    There is no red line above, just gray.  no matter how many times I hit enter and go through the entire workarea, it stays gray.
    The entire thing plays fine in preview but the green line never appears.  Then when I save it as a quicktime, the audio is messed up in that part of teh clip.
    any suggestions?  thanks.

    Glad that other formats work for you. I do not know the causes of the problems with QT, but many experience them. One noted poster, Jeff Bellune from the PrPro and the Encore forum, summed it up this way, "Apple just does not understand anything PC." [OK, maybe a slight paraphrase there, but you get the idea.]
    I wish that I had a real "fix," but similar can happen when working with MPEG-2 Assets, and then going to a DVD-Video (another MPEG-2 Transcode). I have fought that one, but clients insist on working with MPEG-2 muxed files from previous DVD's, and refuse to go back and get footage, prior to the creation of that DVD. Sometimes, one gets lucky, but often OOS sinks in, and there is little that one can do about it. On one Project, I had sync perfect on the Timeline, but when we'd go to to the delivery DVD, it would be out. I moved Clips around, for the OOS scenes, by my guess on OOS. Without being able to see it on the Timeline, it was seat of the pants. I'd move a second, and observe no correction. Two seconds and still no change. Three seconds, and I'd get two seconds in the other direction! Finally, I had to just say, until you get the footage before Transcoding to MPEG-2 and the DVD, that is the best that you'll get.
    Sorry for the bad news, and I wish that I had a "cure" for the QT Export. It plagues folk on PrPro, and also PrE. When things go well, all is OK. When sync goes out, there seems no way to get it right.
    Good luck,

  • Media Encoder CC  won't render Magic Bullet Denoiser II

    Hello there,
    i've got the following Problem: I am having Premiere CC and used the Red Giant Plug-In Denoiser II on my last project, when i import this project to the Media Encoder and select Quicktime for output, the Media Encoder won't render the clip with this Plug-In. i always get the original files out, without the denoiser. Original footage from in premiere is 2,5k CinemaDNG RAW from the Black Magic Cinema Camera.
    thx

    I feel like there was a recent update to the RG plugins (inside of the last 30 or so days.) Are they up to date?

  • FCP suddenly won't render anything

    I had a project a client wanted a scene cut out so I deleted the transitions, selected my in and out points and shift + delete to remove the footage & close the gap. I put in a dip to color transition (green) but FCP won't render it, I just see a very brief window pop up and nothing. I removed the transition and it won't render the ends of the 2 clips (both are JPEG RGB graphics)Cap locks are off, all colors selected in sub menus, no gap, plenty of footage, tons of hard drive space. The system has been running like a dream up to now. I even deleted an existing transition, put it back and it won't render it. I've worn the book ragged reading it over and over but I must be missing something. Have also rebooted & checked my preferences though nothing seems out of place.

    Sometime a sequence muff up with no reasons, what i do , i save the job save project as.. with a complete new name close FCP and reopen it with the new file most of the time it is working ,if not, export the complete sequence in self contained QuickTime movie

  • FCP 4 won't render

    Hi,
    I'm using fcp 4 and I when I try to render some scrolling text, it takes a long time and then comes up with general error 34. After that, it won't render anything. I have made sure that all the option colors are checked, and I have tried dumping the preferences.
    Thanks

    Hi David,
    There is lots of space. I had a student that added some titling to a project at the end of a video, and it wouldn't render. Then when I put the same titling on top of a clip, it rendered without a problem. I'm not sure why this was happening.

    Hey thanks for the reply
    its not like i must...but i do prefer apple for build quality and the way the os uses the hardware..
    Priority of the laptop will be:
    1- Going live with it, using softwares like ableton like or garageband to trigger samples and ambient patches with MIDI keyboard.
    2- Designing on photoshop
    3 - Occasional video rendering mostly non hd but good quality like youtube 720p
    4 - Gaming when i am bored - I am not at all into gaming but i would surely love to play some
    But i want something that will be durable/storngly built and its hardware/processor good enough to run for 3-4 years.
    Now if a laptop then which one?
    Thank you

  • Transitions won't render.

    I've been having trouble on and off with the ken burns effect and now for some reason when I insert a transition it won't render. Is there some command I can put in that will make it render or something else I can do? Also, if I try to empty the trash I get an error message saying that something is rendering but nothing is.

    HI Silas is Awesome - is your project stored on an external drive? If so it must be formatted for Macs - Mac OS Extended.

  • Bluetooth streaming audio won't work w FORD SYNC after previously working.

    Simply pull the SYNC module fuse, then place it back in.  This should clear up any problems that anyone is having if your bluetooth audio won't stream or your SYNC keeps saying NO BLUETOOTH DEVICE FOUND.  You can also disconnect your car battery cables, then connect them back and this will reset the SYNC Module.  I am a Ford Dealer in Southeast GA and had the above problem but just solved it.

    i got the same issue on my ipod. i figured the whole idea of converting the format would solve the issue. never really found out how to solve it. i'll be watching this post to see if anyone has a solve for this issue.

  • Themes won't render in iMovie06

    When I use some Themes in iMovie in order to make my Holiday-Videos a little bit more "interesting", I can choose all the themes and templates und drag them in the timeline. However they won't render, so that the red line won't change. Also saving my project won't work, because it is still rendering (but nothing happens). I have this problem since QT 7.5 but cannot downgrade...
    I waited a VERY long time for rendering-processes on my iMac 2.8 4GB but nothing happend at all.
    what can I do?

    puh.....
    Thank you for the reply.
    However, reinstalling the system without using a backup means very very much work... Is there no there Chance to use iMovie06 correctly?
    I can't really believe that

  • Premiere Elements 4 audio won't play on mp4 files, codecs missing/unavailable on .mov files

    I dowlnloaded Premiere Elements 4, and when I import mp4 files, the video plays but the audio will not. I've also tried to import .mov files, and an error message pops up that says "Codec missing or unavailable." I downloaded the latest version of Quicktime, but that didn't change anything. The files will play back on the video camera, but I"m having trouble with them on my computer. The audio on the mp4 files plays in Quicktime, but not the video, and vice versa when I import them into Elements. Any suggestions?

    Does Quicktime Pro also edit .mov files on a PC?

    Premiere Elements 4 pretty much works with tape-based digital video. That would be video from a miniDV or HDV tape-based camcorder. It doesn't handle other formats very well.
    If you plan to edit MP4s, you definitely want to upgrade to a more current version of the program. If you can't install a current version of the program, you may need to address issues on your computer (such as an outdated operating system or underpowered hardware configuration).
    Short of that, you could buy Quicktime Pro from Apple for $29. It will edit MP4s, even on a PC platform.
