Avchd-  on some clips, audio plays- then stops.

I'm importing AVCHD files with 5.1 audio, and when I playback, they play just fine, but some files, the audio will just drop out in the middle of the clip, and I get no audio on that clip from that point forward.
If I play the clip back in another program, there is audio throughout and no problems.  If I expand the 5.1 audio track, I can see the wave form, it's just fine.  I have allowed premiere to "conform audio" on all the clips before opening in the source monitor.
The audio drops out whether they are being viewed on the source monitor or from the timeline.  Once the audio drops, it ALWAYS drops at the same point for any given clip.  Even if I delete the clip and re-import it, it will still drop in the same spot.
Any ideas?

I have figured out what causes this and how to avoid it.
For me it happens consistenly if I start working with the project while video assets are still loading.
Specifically,
If I load a project and try to edit my sequence while the status message in the bottom left of the screen still indicate videos are being loaded, etc. I can almost garantee some clips will have sound drop outs and others will have frames out of order. Even after everything claims to have loaded.
The lesson here? Don't trust the loading dialog. Just because it dissappeared and the workspace looks ready for you to interact with does not mean premiere has finished loading the project!
It can also happen if I import a bunch of clips into my timeline and try adding them to a sequence or playing them in the source window before they'd been fully loaded.
Wait patiently for everything to load and don't start working until you see a message in the lower left hand corner that says "All Media Loaded" only then is it really safe to begin working.
That's been my experience anyway.
Hope this helps.

  • My gen5 80gig syncs some movies and music then stops

    My gen5 80gig syncs some movies and music then stops and makes a weird sound and i know theres nothing wrong with the music or movies and i don't know what to do I've tried the 5R's, restoring in disk mode everything so HELP!

    There could be problems with the iPod's file structures so it might pay to check it for errors. Try putting the iPod in disk mode thus; hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Close iTunes if it's open. Once in disk mode connect to your computer, then browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of successfully transfering files.

  • Importing problems: clips skip and then stop importing

    If you go into iMovie Help section, there is a troubleshooting section where this exact question is asked and "answered." However, the answer that they gave was not adequate and did not solve my problem.
    This is what happened-I was importing and all of a sudden i got to a part where it just starts to skip. It keeps skipping for a few seconds and then just stops importing. My camera is a MiniDV and the tape i used to record things is brand new. I also put in another tape that i had successfully imported in the past in my camera to see if the brand new tape was somehow defective, but the same thing happened with the old tape that i put in to import. Could it be the connecter? But if something was wrong with that wouldn't my computer not recognize my camera at all?
    Help me please! I want to finish the movie I'm making

    Hi
    Two most common origins to this:
    • You have stopped recording - rewind view and may be even took out the tape.
    = TimeCode on tape is boroken and needs to be mended
    • You have used LP-mode while recording. Don't and even more so if the recording
    was done on another Camera. Then LP-mode most often doesn't work. To sencitive.
    First situation:
    • Try to turn off in iMovie preferences menu: Import as individual clips.
    You might get the material in even if it is as a full block that needs to be cut up
    • Alt. If You got two Cameras + one FireWire 4-pin to 4-pin Cable
    Firts record one tape with just anything eg a wall (This will not be kept)
    Copy the problem tape onto the prerecorded one (with a complete TimeCode)
    Second sit:
    • Get the Original Camera and then
    • Try to turn off in iMovie preferences menu: Import as individual clips.
    You might get the material in even if it is as a full block that needs to be cut up
    • If in LP-mode (90min on a 60min tape) You also get sync problems so start with
    Clip on Timeline then Advance mebu and down to Exract Audio.
    Might help.

  • Some detached audio play fine but other half is not.

    I am currently editing a video with iMovie11, I am a frequent user of iMovie but never had this issue before.
    I detached audio from the video and some audio plays but other detached audio will not play. The weird thing is that the first half of the project plays fine, the other half this problem happens.
    All videos were taken on the same day with the same camera, saved the same format... I didnt change any setting etc. Anyone have any idea what I can do?

    hi Simba-Tiger 
    That's really weird. As per the advice from Lunaserka, this needs to be addressed via our Residential Faults team.
    You can find contact details for both phone and online reporting via  Re: Report a phone or line fault
    Hoping it's a quick resolution for you

  • Audio plays, then randomly stops working; Red X on Speakers Occassionally

    Hi.
    I noticed my HP Pavilion dv6700 started having audio issues after I installed some updates for Adobe Reader 9. When I restarted my computer, there was a red X over the speaker in the bottom right of my system tray. The computer made a very loud beep sound on start up and that's when I noticed I couldn't play any type of sound from my speakers. The headphone jacks were not working as well.
    I turned my computer off for a few hours, turned it back on, and the problem initially seemed as if it was gone. My speakers were working, the speaker in my system tray at the bottom did not have the red X there anymore, and I could play sound. Yet, this was only temporary because in the middle of a song or watching a video, the audio would disappear. After waiting for several minutes and replaying a song/video, the audio came back.
    I do not understand why my audio is behaving this way.
    I also see in my Device Manager that "Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus" has a yellow caution triangle with a black exclamation mark inside of it.
    Earlier today I had the red X on the speakers, but now it is gone, but I have no idea when my sound will go away again.
    I don't know what to do to fix this issue.
    If you need additional information, I'll be sure to post as much as possible to fix this problem.
    Please help, HP.

    Hi Rodrigo,
    Long shot, but next time it happens...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

  • Movie clip plays then stops will not start

    I downloaded this clip from the internet. It plays fine(HD) then it stops. I can advance fram by fram only.
    please help.

    First try to restart without extentions to see if you can just copy manually the informations onto a disk or extern HD.
    If this won't help you can try DATA rescue II . You may be able to get a part of your docs back, but this can take a while... between a day and a month...

  • Two issues getting a headless error form windows & my clips audio plays in the preview but not once placed in th timeline. I taped with a panasonic HC 750 V. i believe it is with clips filmed using directed not surround audio.

    The title more or less says it all. I have Elements 13 & am Using the Panasonic HC 750V. I shot in AVCHD 1080/60p & instead of surround sound choose the directed feature to focus on the voices in front of me. The audio works in preview but not on the timeline. I am also getting Headless errors when working with premiere that pop up in windows but it does not shut down the system.
    Any help apprecaited.

    pc
    Have you updated your Premiere Elements 13 to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
    Just some points of clarification on the AVCHD 1080/60p with which you are having audio problem in Premiere Elements 13.
    a. I see no option to record to tape with your Panasonic model. Is there one? if not, what was recorded to, a memory card?
    b. When you talk about directed not surround audio, are you saying that your video uses Dolby Digital 2 channel stereo instead of 5.1 channel?
    c. Is your AVCHD footage presented to you as AVCHD.mts rather than AVCHD.mp4. I think that is the case if you are referring to Dolby Digital
    rather than AAC audio.
    Are you saying that you get play back video and audio if you double click the video's thumbnail in Project Assets, but you get video but no audio after you drag the file to the Timeline and play back its contents in the Edit area monitor?
    a. Have you checked the Volume control under the Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume Panel expanded to make sure the Volume has been taken all the way down? Under that condition, you will get play back in the Preview Window, but no audio from the Timeline level play back in the Edit area monitor.
    b. In that same regard, if you look at the Timeline audio clip, note a yellow orange line that runs horizontally across the duration of the audio clip. Is that at the bottom of the frame or is it in the middle or at the top?
    Do you work with the Elements Organizer at all? That Headess issue sounds like an Elements Organizer issue. More on that later. That issue should not prevent you from continuing your work. But we will explore that next.
    Thanks.

  • Captured avi file will start to play then stop

    After capturing an avi file and trying to review it for editing in the timeline, the scene will start to play, but then after only 2 or 3 seconds the video stops, and the audio track contiues.  This behavior began after I used a registry-cleaning product (PC Health Advisor).  The avi file plays normally with video and sound in Windows Media Player.   What should I do?

  • I just put my earphones and then started watching something but suddenly my music randomly plays then stops then plays again. HELP!

    I have a yellow (some call it neon green) iTouch 5th Gen 32GB. I was watching something when my music randomly played. Afterwards, it stopped. Suddenly, it kept playing again! Then it kept repeating on off on off. How do I stop this?!?!? It's really annoying.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Just upgraded to an iPod touch 5th generation. I've noticed that the device wont stream videos online As my last device did. The play button appears, i tap it, the video loads, it begins playing, then stops around 2 minutes in. It is NOT my Internet.

    Like i said, the iPod is brand new. It works great in all aspects. But I frequently watch movies online with my iPod. Since i have upgraded to the fifth generation, this is almost impossible. The video begins to play and then freezes as if it is buffering. But the video never plays again. It is impossible for me to use my movie site to watch movies anymore and i am very disappointed.

    Sounfs like a network problem.
    Try
    - When connected to another network          
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router

  • Is there a way to get an iPod touch to play one audio track and stop.

    Is there a way to get an iPad to play one audio track and stop.
    I work in education and particularly music. Teachers are looking to create a playlist of selected track but only want the selected track to play then stop.
    This allows them to talk to the class during presentation and not worry about having to stop playback mid discussion.
    I've been successful doing this from appleTVs homeshared to a library by unchecking songs in the playlist. But It would be useful to instructors who have there own media on their device.

    Thanks for a cognative answer TXMark.
    For what its worth to any readers that work in education and would like this play once and stop 'feature'
    I had great success in homeshareing a iTunes library of teaching material and creating topic specific playlist and used apple remote app to control an appletv connected to that homeshared library. As TXMark suggests, uncheck the songs in iTunes and the media will not automatically play the tracks in sequence.
    note: if you have video media that you would like to have in the playlist, be sure its listed as a music video in the options of get info of track. otherwise the apple tv will not see the media in the playlist and will put it in the movies section of the library.

    The only way to stop after a song is to create a playlist consisting of only that song.

  • 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.

  • Cartoons play a few seconds then stops, then starts, then stops, just started doing this

    My grandson likes to watch a cartoon with me in the evening, suddenly when I bring them up now they start to play, then stops, then starts, this just started happening, my grandson would appreciate any help resolving this.  Thanks

    Check to make sure your video is loading.
    The red indicates what has already played and the white indicated the portion of the video that is loaded but unplayed.  If you have no white bar and the movie plays and then stops it is because your video is having trouble loading in which case you wil want to select a lower quality video by clicking on the gear icon.
    YouTube uses a program called Adobe Flash player to play the cartoons. If your seeing the white bar in front of your video, the first thing I would try would be to remove the Adobe Flash software and reinstall the latsest version. Allow me to explain how to do this:
    Step 1: Download the Adobe Flash uninstaller from here, for help running the uninstaller Adobe has good directions on their website which you can view here.
    Step 2: Once you receive the notice that Adobe Flash player has been successfully removed, download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player here.  If you need help running this installer Adobe again has good insturctions here.
    Once finished, go back to the YouTube cartoon you are having trouble with and let us know if your still having any issues.
