CS3 Audio mixer automation not keeping changes

I'm using CS3 on a Mac.  My current project marks the first time I've done any editing in almost thirty years.  When I opened CS3 for the very first time and did a few trial edits, I was able to adjust audio on the three tracks as I played it back and the changes were saved.  Now that I've finished my 21 minute project, I can't get the audio changes to hold.  I've followed the isntruction in the help file and that I found online, but no matter what automation settings I use, the changes are gone when I play it back.  THere were changes noted in the keyframe timeline for the first couple of minutes, but nothing after; now I've even managed to loose those changes.  Any ideas??

Hi Tahseen,
Thanks for your help with this problem.
I have been using PE since version 5 - a long time!.  I have used  Audio
Mixer for all those years but I have never had this problem before.
My video clips are AVCHD video.   My stills are JPG and the  soundtrack
music is MP3.
I have a slideshow which is a mixture of stills, video and  soundtrack. 
During "Expert" editing there is speech on Video 1 so I try to  lower the
music soundtrack so that the talking can be heard.    Something that I have been
doing for years.  Using Audio Mixer, I lower the  volume to -18 by sliding
down the volume slider.  The soundtrack volume is  reduced.  I then replay
the clip and the sound reduction I have just  carried out has been ignored
and the soundtrack reverts back to 0 as if  nothing had been changed.
Can you help me please.
Regards,
John

  • The audio file can not be changed! - help

    I really need help. I just installed Logic Express 8, and I tried to import a song in order to edit it (as a lead in music bed for a podcast). Every song I import in says I am unable to edit it - "The audio file can not be changed! Volume or file is locked."
    How do I unlock the file/volume in order to edit t? This is the only reason why I purchased Logic and if I cannot do this I spent a lot of money for no reason. Please help.

    OK, basics first..
    if the audio was 'bought' from itunes or some other download, it could have some kind of 'digital rights management' (DRM) on it. So you won't be able to edit anything, it's protected. Nothing you can do there.
    Also make sure it isn't already open in another application that might be 'holding on' to it.
    However, it could be something simple to do with protections on the file itself.
    Locate the music file you imported on your harddisk click on it once so it is highlighted, now press cmd-i, or select file menu and 'get info'.
    There are some settings here where one can 'lock' a file. There is a check box under the 'general' section that needs to be unchecked, there is also a 'permissions' section at the bottom of the 'info' window of the file.
    Make sure you have read and write permissions.

  • Audio mixing (track not clip) .Precise level entry for KF levels?

    Ive done a lot of tutorials on setting and mixing audio levels, both clip and track in PrP 5.5 . I want to know the best way to add a keyframe on the timeline (in track audio mode) and enter a precise db setting. Dragging up and down is pretty random and not accurate, especially when setting levels for 2 mono tracks for stereo.
    I am not interested in using the track mixer in live mode because again it is to inaccurate and needs cleaning up. I tried right clicking on the keyframes and got everything EXCEPT the ability for numeric entry. A real basic function for audio mixing.

    Well, upon further inspections its the CLIP volume key frames that are displayed in the Audio Effects area. When you are trying to do TRACK key frames on the timeline, its necessary to click on the SHOW KEY FRAMES icon at the start of the TL audio track. When you switch to SHOW TRACK  KEY FRAMES suddenly the clip cannot be loaded in the SOURCE window (which kind of makes sense) and so the TRACK key frames are not visible for numeric entry.
    So the problem with no ability for numeric entry assigning key frames a db still exists.

  • Audio Channels in Timeline Keep Changing?

    I have some audio tracks, on those tracks I inserted a .wav file that has 4 channels.  I only need 2 channels. ( 1 and 2 )  I unlinked the audio and I am just using channels 1 and 2.
    Channel 2 on the timeline keeps defaulting to Channel 1 - I change it and then next time I open the p[roject the audio on channel 2 goes back to channel 1.
    I hope this makes sense.
    This picture is what it needs to be
    This picture below is what it changes to and I have to reset the channel.
    Below is info on the audio channel
    Im doing something wrong right?
    I hope not because I have already layed in and adjusted all my audio.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your help.  I haven't made a copy of the WAV.
    In the timeline, the 4 channels are linked together. Ch1 is a LAV Mic, Ch. 2 is a Seperate LAV mic, Ch. 4 is a boom mic and there is nothing on channel 3.
    So I unlinked the WAV file in the timeline and removed the audio channels that I did not need in the timeline.
    Then I moved the 2 LAV mics to Audio Channels 1 and 2 on the timeline.
    I think that is when I noticed that both Channels were the same... not sure - I have moved stuff around so many times.
    So in the timeline, I would "right mouse click" on the audio track in the timeline and modify the audio clip by clicking on audio channels.
    As a work around, I modified the LAV audio clips in the timeline to where they needed to be and did an audio mixdown of just my LAV mics.  Brought that file back into the timeline and muted the others that kept changing on me.
    Does that help?  Thanks again!

  • Extra tab appears on home page saying ant download successful. Cannot stop it from appearing. Pop-up says firefox update available, cannot disable. Will not keep changes about disable upgrades.

    When I open mozilla firefox, an extra tab appears that says ant upgrade download successful. I had set that do not accept upgrades. It upgraded and I cannot eliminate the tab from appearing on my homepage. I always have problems when I take a Mozilla update so I tried to disable. I keep getting a pop-up telling me one is available and I should take it. I am trying to not change my service.

  • Audio levels do not keep their settings

    when working in iMovie '11 (on MacBook Pro 2.66 GhZ Intel Core i7), whenever I detach audio from video (for photo or still insertion) and adjust the volume and background noise settings, the settings to not remain when adding new video clips. This is most frustrating asn the audio quality was relatively poor when shot, but is easily leveld and "fixed" using the background noise removal and filtering in the audio setting.
    I've noticed that other folks have had similar issues, but hav enot yet found a workable solution. Help, please.

    You cannot even apply an effect to an entire track in Premiere.
    Actually you can, via the Mixer.  It would not surprise me at all if you had one there.

    Yup, tripped across that one a while ago.
    I just gave up on the track approach. Doing it as a clip approach is way easier. I just make the key frame, go the the audio effects window and enter the db level. Done. I did however put in a feature request to be able to right click on any key frame and enter a numeric that way. Im not sure how many other folks are going to request it, but I sure loved and needed that function in FCP and Avid.

  • CS3: Audio and video not synchronized

    Hello.
    I built a video, and in this video sometimes there isn't the audio track because i cut it. After i exported the video in the avi format, i noticed a big desynchronization, because the audio tracks started earlier than expected. What have i to do?
    Thanks
    Giulio

    What was the format/CODEC of your original source files?
    What is your Project/Sequence Preset?
    When you Render the Timeline and playback in PrPro, did you hear the OOS (Out Of Sync), or was it only after Export?
    What were the full settings of that Export?
    Is the OOS static (same over time), or is it dynamic (changing over time)?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - for general OOS issues, this ARTICLE might be useful.

  • IPhoto not keeping changes to libraries

    I spent 2 hours yesterday cleaning up my iPhoto 9 libraries; deleting unwanted photos, starting new folders, etc. Deleted 400  photos by empty trash option. Today, all photos are still there, all new albums don't exist, all old albums still there. Help!

    Hello, Phez,
    It may be that iPhoto's preference file has been damaged. Delete it and see if that corrects the problem. iPhoto will create a new one when it determines that the old one is gone.
    Go to YourUserName->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iPhoto.plist and delete that plist.
    Also, you should always repair permissions before and after any installations/upgrades. Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility. Select your hard drive's icon by its name, then be sure you are in 'First Aid' and choose 'Repair Disk Permissions."

  • Audio mixer - suddenly volumes are not adjusted

    Hi. PE4. I used the audio mixer in a few project without hassles. In this specific project, I edited the volume levels using the audio mixer successfully. Now I want to make changes to the audio volume but suddenly the audio mixer does not update the audio volume at all. What can I do to get this sorted? Thanks.

    Robert,
    Bear with me on this, as I use P-Pro most of the time, so what I am about to type might not apply to PE.
    On the Audio Track, one needs to set the view to display Track Keyframes. From the Audio Mixer, when hitting the Spacebar (Play) and adjusting the Pot for that Track's Audio, Keyframes are added. In Pro's Audio Mixer, these Keyframes (Track Keyframes, not Clip Keyframes) are only added, when I change the Send to Touch or Write. PE's Audio Mixer does not seem to have Sends. It also appears that the Audio Mixer needs to stay open, though you can make it small and tuck it away. My test of it indicated that when you Close it, the Keyframes disappear. (Can someone correct me here?) I would *guess* that if one did a Save, or Save_As at this point, the Audio Track Keyframes would be Saved. This last step is not necessary for me in Pro, as the Audio Mixer is always open and is just tabbed to another Panel, so it's never in my way. I will experiment with Pro and see what happens if I close the Audio Mixer. It might work the same as in PE, but I have not tried that, since I never close mine.
    One additional note: in Pro, you can set the Keyframe interval for Track Keyframes. I'd guess that you can in PE too - probably from the Preferences Menu. Potting with the Audio Mixer can generate a lot of Keyframes, depending on the interval set. These can be moved around, just like Clip Keyframes, but you'll want to zoom in on that Track to see what you're doing - both horizontal and vertical zoom.
    Hunt
    [Edit] In Pro, when you close the Audio Mixer, the Track Keyframes remain.

  • Audio Mixer Window Does Not Appear

    I have been using Premiere Elements for years in various versions (current project in V8, just downloaded V9 trial. Tonight I went to use the Audio Mixer function and found that when I click on Audio Mixer in the dropdown menu it does not appear. I then downloaded the V9 trial and have the same issue.
    Its hard to believe that I have not tried to do audio mixer functions in V8. But the last time I used the audio mixer in Premiere Elements it was accessed with a small button and worked find. Perhaps that was version 7. I have no memory of when I upgraded from 7 to 8.
    Help! Why will the audio mixer window not appear?

    I tried to access the Mixer from both the drop down menu below the right side panel and top of the interface on 8.0. Then I loaded 9.0. Same test same result first time around.
    Then I read your note and tried both places again and the top of the interface worked in 9.0!  Now both locations work in both versions. Weird.
    Thanks very much for the response.

  • Multicast IP address keep changing on music on hold

    Hi
    I am trying to set up multicast for music on hold on the cucm 9.
    on the cucm, I enable multicast audio sources on MOH server, using base IP 239.1.1.1, and set increment multicast on " ip address"
    however the multicast IP address keep changing, sometimes its 239.1.1.1, then after a while it suddenly change to 239.1.1.2 etc..
    here is the config on our srst router ( which specify the multicast ip is 239.1.1.1):
    is there any way that the multicast ip do not keep changing as its affecting the MOH at the moment.

    Hi Rachel,
    If the Increment Multicast on radio button is set to IP address, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to different IP addresses but uses the same port number. If it is set to Port Number, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to the same IP address but uses different destination port numbers.

  • Group names keep changing ..

    I am creating a report will mulitple queries ..
    i notice that the report builder keeps changing the
    group name ..
    a) how does report assign gruop name and
    how can i change in a way report doesnt alter it ..
    deepa

    Hi Deepa,
    Reports Builder will assign a default name to a group inside the data model when you write the query, but once a name has been assigned to a group, it should not keep changing the group's name.
    For your own custom name, double click on the group heading in the data model, and type your desired name in the "Name" field of the Property Inspector that comes up. It should not change thereafter.

  • Referer keeps changing (to 0)

    Everytime I try to make an account somewhere, or post a youtube comment, I can't because the webpage says 'Could not set a referer, please....' When I went to about:config it kept saying its set to 2, If I reset, it changes back to 0, If I change the webpage I'm viewing.
    The only addons I have are:
    Adblock
    Iliimitux
    MaskMyIP
    Personas Plus
    Personas Rotator

    If you do not keep changes after a restart, see:

    You would call Apple Support, for which you would probably be charged for the support.
    Note that just because those CDs work with your old computer doesn't mean that it's still not an issue with those CDs and the burner in your newer system. Some CD brands just don't work well with some optical drives. If you haven't tried a different brand, and if you're using CD-RW trying CD-R, I would suggest you give that a try just to eliminate that possibility.
