CS4 PPro Audio Bug???

This has to be an audio bug, right?
There is a "main" sequence consisting of 14 nested sequences. Each of the 14 nested sequences are a "target" sequence (Adobe help terminology) made by nesting a multi-camera sequence and going through the cut process.
When these 14 targets are made, the audio works.
Now, back into the main sequence, two of the 14 have no audio. Render Work Area and Render Audio do not help.
I went to the target sequence and its audio was now gone. So I tediously rebuilt the sequence and the target audio was now present. Went to the Main sequence and the audio was present.
But then I performed a Render Audio on the main, and immediately upon completion, the audio was gone!!!! Just for sequences 1 and 2 (the audio is still functional with the other 12 sequences).
I repeated the entire tedious experiment, and it happened a second time!!!
I compared the Sequence Settings of the working sequences and the non-working sequences, they appear to be identical.
(Vista 64-bit, quad, 12GB, blah, blah, blah).

What kind of media, what sequence settings?

  • Re-Conforming and Audio Bug nightmares

    Hi,
    First, let me say that I've searched throughly about those problems before I came in here.
    I own a company and we used to use FCP7 to edit our weekly show.
    I've moved all suites to Premiere CC 7.2.1
    Our workflow is a bit different than before, since PP can handle original files, in our case .mts sony AVCHD FullHD from FS700, NX70 a Handycam and the MP4 from GoPro Hero3.
    Our main problems right now have been:
    Re-Conforming:
    I've searched about this and these are the possibles solutions
    - Turn the creation of XMP off
    - Disable XMP metadata linking
    - Direct the cache and database files to the same external harddisk that our media is in
    - Direct the scratch disk to the same Harddisk as the media.
    - Media been on a Network volume and Computer clock / daylight saving time shifting.
    - Before opening a project in a different machine, make sure to redirect (to find) the cache to the disk your using
    I must say everything above was tested and dealt with but still. We have seen projects re-conforming by it self everytime we open PP. It normaly happens when moving from computer to another one. But sometimes happens on the same machine, between two days apart, with nothing different.
    And the re-conforming takes a lot of time.
    Audio Bugs:
    Sometimes the waveform doesn't show up. Now this has a workaround, just go to clip > audio options > re-render audio. But it's annoying.
    And more serious sometimes we got an audio looping 1sec over and over, even though the original is perfect, trying to re-render doesn't help. re-importing the clip doesn't help. Only deleting ALL the preview files (because you can't know which is which) that works.
    Is there anyone with solutions (definitive) for these problems?
    Regards

    Hi Jim,
    As I said, I'm using external USB 3.0 drives. No Network drives whatsoever.
    All these:
    System
    Projects
    Cache/Scratch
    Media
    Exports
    Are in the USB 3.0 Harddisk.
    If you are refering to the same drive as the OS that's not a solution as in some machines I have 160GB SSD.
    Cheers,

  • Audio bug with WAV files: use mp3, not wav for syncing long audio files

    Just a tip:
    I've noticed another audio bug in Presenter (including 7.05) but there is a workaround. I often export the audio as a single, long clip from pre-recorded lecture videos, and sync it with the powerpoint slides in Presenter. I've found it easiest to import the long audio file into the first slide, then sync using the Edit Audio window. I find that much easier to use than the Sync audio window.
    However, If you use WAV format for the imported audio file, sometimes Presenter will simply refuse to play back anything beyond about 5 minutes into the timeline in the Edit Audio window. Nothing fixes it - restarting, re-importing, etc. However the problem goes away if you save the audio as mp3.

  • Podcast Audio Bug

    When playing podcasts the sound cuts out after system notifications and locking and unlocking. It's exactly like the audio bug I experienced on my first gen phone after an OS upgrade. I'm not sure if this is new since upgrading to 4.0.1 It only happens with podcasts, other MP3s don't have the problem. Can anyone else replicate this?

    Christian Gloddy wrote:
    MP3s and other media files can vary widely in the kind of metadata they carry and Apple certainly accounts for that in their software. The fact that I stumbled on a scenario that AppleTV trips over but all of it's other products do not, I would think it would be something I would think Apple would be interested in fixing, instead of saying that it's not their problem. I would assume Apple would want the same level of quality with AppleTV that it has with iTunes, iPod and the iPhone.
    in which case, this is not the place to report "bugs" to apple.. this is a user-to-user support forum (no apple input).
    if you want to report your "bug" then you need to do it via the official channel - http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    ps. i don't need a lesson on metadata. however the metadata is set by the podcast producer.

  • PPro CS4 All Audio Disappeared after Adding WAV File

    I cannot hear audio in a video I am editing in Premiere Pro CS4 (Win 7 pc). Problem began after I tried to record my voiceover (wav file) using PPro CS4. I saved videos from a digital camera, converted to QuickTime format, imported and was able to listen to both the audio that was originally part of the video and three voiceover files that I previously recorded using different software (I don't remember what). Now I cannot hear audio of any files, wav, wma, etc, using PPro CS4, Windows Media Player, or other software. Any suggestions of what I should do to restore audio to my system?

    Bill:
    Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, this is a self-inflicted wound. It turns out I caused the problem by plugging my microphone into the headphone jack. After checking to confirm that my sound card driver is up to date, I glanced at the jack, placed the mike in the proper input port, and voila, I've got sound. I'm back editing my video in CS4. Based on this escapade, I'm sure I will need your advice again soon.

  • I'm having trouble with Captivate CS4 the audio won't record (using Vista)

    Hello,
    Please help!!!...I've tried the patches outlined in prior question/answers regarding audio recording problems by replacing the nsaudio.dll files as suggested at http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/audio_play_back_and_usb_mic_is.html
    and used the SubInAcl Windows Registry Tool outlined at http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/adobe_captivate_4_installation.html
    The issue seems to be resolved at first but inexplicably the audio recording stop working again.  
    I also noticed that I'm getting error messages regarding the following Captivate files.  NSAudio.dll , Ppsuplo.dll, avi2swf.dll, FullMotionrecorder.dll and WaveEditCtrl.ocx files
    What can I do to resolve the recording problems that seem to plague Captivate CS4.   Does Adobe offer any updates to their software to resolve well documented bugs.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi there
    Have you reported these to Adobe support?

    The answer here is they certainly do. But updates are sometimes few and far between. And the likelihood of seein an update to address issues such as these is totally dependent on the number of reports Adobe receives about them.
    If you haven't, please consider submitting a Bug Report. That will only help increase any chance of seeing an update to fix things.

  • [CS4 Win] Weird 'Bug' giving overset text in duplicate object - stumped!

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a perculiar 'bug' in InDesign CS4 (Windows).
    I have a triangular text frame rotated by 45° with a 0.2mm inset.
    This frame contains two words who's point size is just big enough to fit the text in the frame without it oversetting.
    The leading is set to 100% of the point size.
    When I duplicate the text frame either with the Duplicate command, cut 'n' paste or alt dragging, the new text frame is overset!
    I cannot find any difference between the two objects what so ever.
    If, in the original text frame, I change the text frame options inset to 0 and then back to the original 0.2 mm, I get overset!
    Scaling the original up by any amount also causes overset, as does increasing the height of the frame and then returning it to its original height.
    I have tried exporting as a snippet but the new placed text frame oversets.
    Does anyone have any idea might be causing this behaviour.
    It doesn't do it in CS3 or in CS5.
    I have included a link to an example file, you will need to have the same font (HelveticaNeueLTPro-BlkCn) to see the problem.
    I can't upload this for obvious copyright reasons - sorry.
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7307068/flashes.indd
    Thanks for ANY input.
    Simon Kemp.

    Hi Simon.
    My initial reaction was it might have to do with the third party plugins, but I exported to .inx to strip them out, and then NONE of the frames had both words. I also thought it might be that the the frame isn't a right triangle and the slight angles on the vertical and horizontal might be a problem, but I made a new frame with the same hypotenuse but the correct legs, and that didn't make a difference, either. (I made it by drawing a rectangular frame exactly half as high as it was wide, adding a point at the center of the top path segment with the pen, then deleted the two upper corner points).
    I have to say my conclusion is that the problem here is there really isn't enough room in the frame for both words with that inset. Adding 3% to the size of the frame (by clicking the chainlink to link changes to height and width, then typing +3% after the height [adding in the scale fields scales the type, too, so don't do it there] and pressing Enter) brings both words into view.
    Curiously, When I opened the file in CS5, the words fit without messing around. Cutting and pasting the frames with overset made both words appear. This could be due to the new way ID deals with text in non-rectangular shapes. When I opened the .inx file without the plugin information in CS5 all the text was visible in all frames. I think the only reason the text ever fit in the original CS4 file might have to do with one of the plugins, but that's pure speculation. I don't think there's any sort of bug here.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 - Missing audio at the end of clips?

    I'm running AME CS4 in conjunction with a Matrox H.264 accelerator card for MP4 encoding. Source material is .m2t and output is 720p as per YouTube spec.
    I've been noticing recently that every other encoding job will chop a second or two of the audio from the end of the clip. ie. The audio will be fine until the last second or two of the clip, which is completely missing.
    I'm lost when trying to figure out where to start troubleshooting. On a side note, I have noticed the same behaviour when transcoding .m2t files within Encore, which was part of the production bundle.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    I cannot guarantee that it is not a software issue. Sometimes Matrox is an easy "target." However, with several other Matrox users having similar issues, it does seem that Matrox might be the common element.
    One of the issues with troubleshooting Matrox issues with PrPro is that few of the normal responders here have Matrox. Many tried the cards, and most unplugged them for various reasons. Some, like me, have never used them. That kind of limits the responses here, unless a Matrox-user, who has addressed such issues successfully, drops by with some tips.
    Good luck, and please update the thread, especially if you do get a "fix." Others will benefit, and I will learn something new!

  • Blu Ray Burned in Encore CS4 play audio but no video

    I've burned this project multiple times and everytime I get the menus and the audio, but no video when played on a Blu Ray player. The same disc plays fine in computer/laptop. And when I tried a shorter version of the project (10 minutes vs. an hour and a half for the original) it plays fine everywhere. Could the file size be causing my disc not to play in a BD-R player?

  • Aggregate Audio bug in Tiger?

    I tried to create an Aggregate Audio device using Tiger's Audio MIDI Setup under /Utilities
    I wish to use the aggregate device to broadcast iTunes music through my desk speakers and my Griffin RocketFM fm transmitter to my living room stereo speakers.
    I've set up the Aggregate device with multi-channel, Quadraphonic sound. I can even verify that each channel (left speaker living room, right speaker living room, left speaker desk, and right speaker desk) will receive sound by clicking on the speaker icons in the Audio MIDI Setup application.
    But when I select the Default Output device to be this new aggregate, only my desk speakers produce sound.
    What is going on here? Why can't my RocketFM send sound to my living room speakers via the aggregate device, but it can if I send sound to just the RocketFM? Has anyone else had this problem in 10.4.3? I just bought Tiger, more or less for this functionality (everything else was gravy to me) and it doesn't work as I'd hoped. Any help?

    Ok David
    I don't pretend to be an expert here but this is what I've found out from my limited experments.
    1. There is no "10 channel limit" I was able to use the 410 and a USB audio device to get 12 channels of output.
    2. I don't think the system was designed to do what you want.. send the same signal to more than one output at the time.
    3. I think the system was designed to aggregrate interfaces for multi channel use... 3 stereo interfaces for 5.1 surround.
    Whatever decide you added FIRST to your aggregrate device is the one that gets a stereo output. So if you added your RocketFM to aggregrate device FIRST, it would get the signal, but not your 2nd interface.
    If you had a 4 channel source, then all for speakers would work, but each would get only one of the four channels.
    I'm guessing that the only speaker setup you were able to select was either stereo, or quad, since (and I'm guessing here), you only had 4 outputs to use. If you had only 4 outputs you couldn't select say, a 7.1 channel setup since you don't have 8 channels of output.
    Notice on the speaker set up that you cannot send any channel number to more than one locaton.
    Channel 1 and 2 = the main stereo channels.
    iTunes is stereo, not multi channel, so the L/R output of iTunes corrosponds to channel 1 and 2 on the speaker set up.
    Now, I agree it seems like you SHOULD be able to set it up like you want.... seems like an easy thing to implement, but from what I can see, either there is a bug as you've suggested, or it was not designed to operate that way in the first place.
    One other note, adding the interlan audio interface didn't give me any more outputs for some strange reason..
    Using the 410 and the internal outputs only gave me 10 outputs
    Using the USB audio device and the internal outputs only gave me 2 outputs
    but using the USB and the 410 gave me 12... go figure.
    Under no circumstances could I get my Pro-Tools Mbox to show up in the aggregrate editor, tho it does show up in the sound pref pane.

  • Illustrator CS4 Action Palette bug

    Does anyone know if the action palette bug has been addressed? I saw a thread from Nov 2008 that confirmed I am not an isolated incident. I can't get all the steps in my action to save when I reopen Illustrator. Particularly "show all layers". I am working in 10.4.11, and I don't see any Illustrator updates available to me at this time. Thanks!

    That's funny it doesn't happen here and don' get this wrong but it seems odd that you have been working with CS 4 all this time and never brought this issue up before.
    Of course you could be on windows and it could be a platform specific issue though it seems odd that all this time has passed and it is the first we are hearing about it.
    This is what my CS4 looks like after I relaunch AI.

  • CS4: PPro and Encore crash upon startup!

    I have been using CS4 for a long time with no issues, but yesterday PPro and Encore started crashing upon starting up.
    The screen for either one will load up, but in PPro the timeline pane will be ghosted and the system will just freeze if I click on anything in the PPro window, including the menu. Encore does the exact same thing as far as crashing if I click anything.
    I have not installed any new programs and I shut down as many background tasks as possible, as I have always done.
    If I reboot the computer after a crash, I get a popup window telling me that PhotoshopServer.exe has caused an exception, blah blah. I have NEVER had that before this crashing started.
    I uninstalled the entire CS4 suite and reinstalled it. The installer kept giving me errors about some components not being installed correctly, so I ran the Adobe Support Advisor and it sent me to a link that instructed me to remove the Color Profiles. I did this and the installer continued with no further issues. I then installed all patches up to 4.2.1 with no issues. BTW, I did shutdown all of my antivirus/antispyware/firerwall programs first and copied any missing color profiles back to the Windows directory, as instructed without overwriting any existing ones from the new install.
    I started the new installation for the first time after a reboot and shutting down everything in the background... instant crashes AGAIN!
    I'm running out iof ideas and I have no idea what went wrong after using this suite for so long with no issues.
    Here's my computer specs:
    Asus Rampage II Extreme mobo
    Intel Core i7-920 @ 3.0 GHz.
    3x1 GBs Kingston HyperX Tri-Channel 1800 MHz. RAM
    2 EVGA e-GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1 GB boards in SLI
    2 WD 500GB SATA hard drives in RAID 0 (boot)
    2 WD 500GB SATA hard drives in RAID 0 (storage)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated -- I'm pulling my hair out here!
    Bill

    It's probable that the Canon drivers are to blame rather than Adobe. The change in behavior may be due to another piece of software (driver, automatic update, etc) installed that now results in the Canon drivers loading into a different address space where whatever they were already wrong now has a negative consequence. Could also be related to the Canon drivers not dealing properly with ASLR (address space randomization feature in Windows) but that seems likely.

  • 5.1.2 Audio bug with AIFF files

    I've encountered a strange bug after upgrading to 5.1.2 today. I have 3 Macs with FCP (all upgraded to 5.1.2 today). Was working on a project at work on one of them today and everything worked fine. I imported an AIFF file and decreased the levels on it as part of the project.
    When I brought my project home (I use hot swap hard drives), I went to adjust the levels of that same AIFF file within my project. However, the viewer pane went half black, it did not show me any bit of the audio file and it's peaks. However, I could still adjust the levels. It just seemed to be that there was some sort of video display bug when I tried to adjust the AIFF file in the viewer.
    I looked at some other audio files (recorded through the voiceover control) and they appeared fine in the viewer. Only AIFF files gave me this bug. To try and remedy the problem I tried other AIFF files and also tried restarting the project, etc. Nothing cleared up this problem though. Anyone else experience this?
