Bad Header error importing Audio from Audition to Premiere Pro

Hey guys,
I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing a problem like this below, but recently, I have been up in arms trying to export a 90-minute feature film's audio (Ch. 1=Dialogue - Ch. 2=M+E - 5.1 Surround Mix) in a .wav file format, and every time I try to export it out, it PLAYS in Quicktime player, but it WON'T import into Premiere Pro (citing BAD HEADER ERROR) in file.  I basically tried to utilize every file format there is for audio and such, but nothing is working (including .aif, but it kept cutting out at 13mins into the show).  I separated the dialogue music and sfx in 3 submixes, but I needed to combine the Music and Submix into 1 submix to have ONE DIALOGUE Submix, and ONE M+E submix for our distributors.  Any help to fix this would be great. 

Paul,
Sorry to hear about the PC -> Mac problem. Old 6.5 Mac Project opened fine in CS2 PC, after I added the file extensions.
As for the AVI, Curt is correct. There should be a utility for the Mac, like G-Spot, which will tell you everything about your AVI file. Unfortunatly, I do not know if G-Spot is ported for the Mac (www.headbands.com/gspot), so you might need to find similar for you platform. You can then identify the necessary CODEC and install it.
Last, you should be able to find an edit-shop that has CS3 on PC and get them to Import the old Project, then Export it in CS3, so you can open it on your Mac. If not a commercial shop, then maybe a friend with CS3 on PC? Next best thing might be to find a Mac with Premiere 6/6.5 (last Mac version, prior to CS3 ?) and try that route.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Can't import audio from clip into Premiere Pro CC.

    I can export a clip, with audio, from Premiere Pro, but when I import it back into PP the audio track is missing.  I noticed that when I delete the .xmp file from the file folder the audio will import with the clip successfully.  Can someone please instruct me as to how I can edit the .xmp file so as to correct this problem?  Thanks.

    I export a clip using the "match sequence settings".
    Mmm, don't ever use that.  It's for people who don't know what they're doing, and often causes more problems that it solves.
    Better to know what you're doing and set up your export manually.  Try that, then report back what happens.

  • Export .wav with markers from Audition into Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hi,
    I need help in getting a multitrack mixdown with markers from Audition into Premiere.
    This is what I have:
    An Audition CS5.5 multitrack session with lots of markers
    This is what I did to export:
    Audition > File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Entire Session > .wav & "include markers and other metadata"
    When I import that .wav in Premiere Pro there are no markers, neither in the source monitor, nor in the sequence.
    When I import it into After Effects, all markers are there. Unfortunately, this does not help me in my editing in Premiere.
    Is there any workaround for that? A direkt export from Audition via
    Multitrack > Export to Premiere Pro
    did not help either.
    There is a thread on this in Soundtbooth (sorry for posting there, too) where it is stated that it should work in Premiere, too:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3908899#3908899
    Please help, regards,
    Andreas

    Hi Tim,
    first of all, thank you for your help.
    I also just filed a bug report, as you suggested.
    Now let me share the results of checking out the workaround that you suggested:
    1. Export to Premiere Pro via "Mulitrack menu > Export to Adobe Premiere Pro"
    I had tried that before and found it not working. This was a partial mistake. What I mean by that is, when you do that, the exported .wav files get automatically added to the sequence timeline. And do not show markers. BUT, what I overlooked was, that there is a sequence created alongside which resides in the project panel. This sequence does in fact include the markers, as sequence markers.
    Now comes the bitter part: When I delete the automatically added .wav from the timeline and replace it with said sequence, the markers are treated as clip markers. By contrast to After Effects, in Premiere Pro clip markers do not contain any text / names. I.e. all metadata is lost except the mere fact of anonymous markers on the timeline.
    2. Export to Premiere Pro via " File menu > Export > FCP XML Interchange Format"
    Same as above. Except, that I had not tried that before. What I had tried before was ...
    3. Export via " File menu > Export > OMF"
    Interestingly, this cannot be imported in Premiere Pro at all. Could this be another bug?
    Comment:
    I really hope that the markers export/import gets fixed soon.
    I also wished, that clip markers in Premiere Pro would be as intelligent as in After Effects (naming, updating, showing their text clearly in the timeline)
    I also wished that sequence markers would be as intelligent as comp markers in After Effects in showing their text clearly in the timeline.
    ... but thats a lot of wishing going on
    Kind regards,
    Andreas

  • Header error importing audio file.

    Hey,
    I just imported all of my audio no problem, except the one file that reads header error. This was the only audio portion that the lav mic ran out of battery on and was not able to stop the recording. Im sure it has something to do with that, is there anything I can do to recover the audio?

    I encountered the same error when attempting to import WAV files created in Audacity, which are "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16 bit PCM" output.  I previously used an older/simpler version of Audacity with Captivate 3.0.1 with no issues, importing either WAV or MP3 files recorded in Audacity.
    Other info:
    Captivate: version 4.0.0 (build 1596)
    OS: Windows 7 (64 bit)
    Sound card: Realtek High Definition Audio, driver 8/25/2009
    Sound recorder: Audacity 1.3.11 (stable beta for Win7)
    Output: WAV (Microsoft) signed 16 bit PCM
    I researched other information related to registry/installation issues (for WinXP and Vista) and a few specific sound cards (including Realtek) - the specific fixes recommended don't seem like they would work on a Windows 7 machine... or would they?
    Fix related to Vista machines with Realtek/Sigmatel sound cards, involving replacement of a .dll file.

  • Problem importing aaf from AVID into Premiere Pro CC

    I have a simple AVID project without crazy effects, few dissolves that's it. I am trying to transfer my sequence to PP CC in line with adobe.tv video found here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/moving-to-adobe-premiere-pro-/importing-an-a vid-projects.
    However, PP loads the sequence without any clips in it, only one audio file has survived. No error log, no link media dialogue. I have definitely exported all video tracks and everything is fine when I reimport the aaf file back into AVID.
    Is anyone experiencing the same thing?
    Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1, AVID MC 7.0,  MacPro 8-core (2010), OSX 10.8.4

    The AAF import is somewhat limited. There are resources linked to from this page that give information about this workflow.

  • Importing composition from AE to Premiere Pro

    I have imported a couple of compositions from After Effects to Premiere Pro.  They are slideshows
    On the Premiere Pro timeline they are extremely show and only showing several frames.
    Are they still downloading/importing or do I need to try again or do something else?
    Thanks in advance

    Thank you.
    I tried to render them earlier, and import from an AVI file, but the 2 sequences came back as different sizes.
    They looked the same, and correct when I played them in the source box, but when I brought them to the timeline they were different.  Essentially, one of the sequences I had to convert to "fit" instead of 100%....but I couldn't figure out how to do this to one without the changing the other.
    Thanks again.  I appreciate it. 

  • Why would my entire iMac lose audio from working in Premiere Pro?

    When using Premiere Pro, my iMac lost all audio several times in a row. The action that kept causing this malfunction was pulling audio from the Source Moniter into my timeline. The audio clip is a .wav file and is mono, if those details help. The only thing that brings my audio back is restarting the computer. I've gone into my sys prefs for audio and nothing there helps. What could be causing this?

    Hi,
    Could be problematic clip.
    Try with a different wav file and see if you can reproduce the issue.
    Also test issue with the same wave file in a new project.
    Good luck,

  • Import jpeg from photoshop into premiere pro CS5 and keep exact proportions.

    We are trying to insert jpegs into the timeline of a project that was captured DV movie frame 720 x 480.  A graphics person has created jpegs with the frame size of 1440 x 960.  When I import that into Premiere, we have a black space above and below the safe margins when I scale to frame size and am first wondering if that will be ok.  When I change the image size to 720 x 480 and import that and put it in the timeline, the pictures seem to be a little elongated. Can you please tell me how to import the jpegs into premiere and keep the exact proportions for the jpegs?

    By changing the pixel aspect ratio to 720 x 534, all works perfectly now.  Thank you for the help.

  • Trying to Import Audio from CD without Adminstrator rights

    Hello,
    I currently have 20+ computers running Audition and need to change my network to Active Directory signon. When I change a machine to AD and login as a USER I cannot import audio from a CD.  I get a pop up screen saying  You must be signed on as an administrator to import audio from as CD (and so on).  I know this is a windows error because none of my CD ripping programs work EXCEPT Windows Media Player.  I was wondering if ANYONE knows where I can change things so I can have users import from cd's?  I know you can "run as" but now you are giving away the admin passwords and I know I can make a user with admin rights and have them sign in under that, but you are still giving anyone who thinks about it rights to sign in as that user with admin rights.
    Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

    Apparently it's a deliberate policy decision on the part of Microsoft, and possibly one forced onto them by the RIAA. If you can get hold of a suitable policy editor for XP, then you can alter it. The instructions for fixing it with gpedit apparently go like this (although I've never tried it, I must admit)
    Run gpedit.msc (via Start menu, Run..)
    Select the following: Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
    Enable the option 'Devices: Restrict CD-Rom access to locally logged-on user only.'
    That's all I know. If all else fails, download something like Windows XP Security Console, and try doing it with that.

  • Importing audio from CD-where does it go?

    I tried importing audio from a cd tonight for the first time, from within the audio window. Where does the file go? After I quit the song and tried to open again, the file could not be found. I tried importing again. When I put the CD in iTunes opened up and somehow renamed the CD "John Ford Radio"!? Anyway, I figured out that once the file was in the audio window I used the "move" function to copy the file to the song folder.
    Is there an easier way to do this?

    If you import audio from a CD, it stays on the CD. You probably saw a message something like "Insufficient privileges" which means that the OS recognised that it couldn't write the calculated wave overview back to the CD.
    The best method is to copy it to your hard disk and check the Ownerships and Permissions within the Finder info. You need to have Read/Write on any audio file.
    Finally, when saving your work, always use Save as Project since that will create a single folder with all your files nicely tucked away.

  • Adobe Presenter 9 and PowerPoint 2013 - Missing Import Audio from PowerPoint button

    I am only able to intermitantly use the Import button in Adobe Presenter 9 to Import Audio from PowerPoint. Why would I be able to do it on some presentations but not all? I thought it was an audio conversion issue but even when I convert the audio (when prompted by PowerPoint) it doesn't always allow me to import it.

    I have found a solution if the original PowerPoint was a ppt file, follow these steps:
    File > Save As a pptx file
    Close PowerPoint (this helps with not corrupting the file)
    Re-open the pptx file
    File > Convert
    Save with a new file name (this helps with not corrupting the file)
    You should now have the Import from Presentation button if you go to the Presenter tab and click the Import button
    I have not found a solution for pptx files yet.

  • App to import audio from vinyl or cassette to Mac

    I would like to import audio from my vinyl and cassette collection to my iMac.
    Does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced App which will do this successfully?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Just tried this again.  I may be missing something with the options in the dialog box which states the following defaults:
    Format: ZIP
    Method: Normal
    Exclude Mac Resource forks (selected) - don't understand what that means?
    Delete files after compression - not selected.
    At the foot of the dialog box it states "Drag files to RarGenie in the dock"!  Not sure what that means either.
    Please don't spend any more time on this if you don't have an easy answer.  I was really hoping to hear from someone who had used an available App in the App Store which they had found easy to use and not too expensive and which could be used with an appropriate hardware device.

  • Adobe Presenter 7 and PowerPoint 2010. No Import audio from presentation button

  • Import audio from movie problem

    Every time I import audio from a movie in Logic X, there is a glitch at the beginning of the audio. I just switched from 9 and never had this problem before. Anyone else experiencing this? I think it's a bug that needs to be fixed.

    Its quite possible this problem is being caused by one of several audio file related issues in the current OS X 10.9.2  that apparently are fixed in 10.9.3
    You can find out for yourself by installing the Public beta seed of 10.9.3 found here....
    OS X Beta Seed Program
    (Remember to make a full backup of your existing system drive before installing the beta OS X)
