CS5 (or 4)  Timecode in audio!

Is CS5/4  able to show timecode in audio .wavs (anywhere/anyhow) ?
Yesterdays shoot- Free run timecode specifically set to record in double system set up and now I can not find anyway to see the audio time code!
Metadata starts at 00:00:00:00 as does source window.
Tell me this not fact and there is some way to extract the info...please.
Maybe a third party application?

Good points, Tim--and I can definitely confirm that the Premiere team cares about the product. I've been contacted several times recently by team members, either in response to a post here on the forums or a feature request or a bug report. One of my feature requests got a personal reply, with a mention that a lot of PPro users had been requesting the same feature, but it was proving more difficult to implement than was originally expected. Nevertheless, there was a level of commitment intimated that assured me they were going to make it work, come hell or high water. I appreciate that--that lets me know they're listening to the most pressing usability and functionality (and stability) concerns and addressing them. Of course, not everything can happen the way we'd like, and that's just what we need to keep in mind.
It's features like the dual-system support that present one of those "chicken or egg" conundrums. Premiere is going to start popping up on more pros radars, whether they like it or not, and Adobe has to take that seriously. Do you attract potential new customers with all the sweet new features you've got, and risk losing them forever when they find out you don't have what they need, or do you alienate a gigantic sector of your user base that wants more effects and transitions, and focus your efforts on functionality that most of the user base would find yawn-inducing and decry as "not for me?" It's a critical time for Adobe, and certainly not an enviable one! I'm glad I'm not one of the product managers right now
Nevertheless, I'd imagine that for most of the current user base, Premiere does 98% of what they need--that's based on what I know I need, and what Premiere provides. But there's that nagging 2% area where any experienced editor--and typically anyone trying to use Premiere to earn a living--grumbles and says, "C'mon, already... get with the program." I guess if it worked 100%, we'd get bored easy because we wouldn't be able to spend all our time finding workarounds What would be the fun of that?

  • CS5 doesn't offer basic audio functionality (playback stops on page turn)

    I would like to place a sound file and in the exported pdf have the sound file play (via button or playback toolbar), without stopping on page turn. To me, this is a very basic function to ask for. But guess what? CS5 can't do it. Turn the page and the sound stops. Is a workaround converting the sound to a video file? Possibly, but any converted file (to avi or mp4 containers for example) gets an error message when I tried to place it. My question is, can anyone make this basic function work? If not, my second question is, where would I go to submit this issue to developers. Also, I understand it's possible to address this issue on acrobat, but this is not feasible when we're talking about hundreds of audio files in a document.

    Hi publicduck, I'm not sure if you meant you embedded swfs or if you exported from indesign to swf with an html file. But your suggestion helped, because after being unable to find any audio format that didn't stop playing on page turn (without the use of a playback controller), I tried exporting to swf instead of pdf, and for some reason, in swf, opened as an html file in firefox, I was able to click on the button to start the mp3, and turn the page, while the mp3 continued. So thanks!

  • CS5.5 Premiere → AE & RED audio disappearing

    Just talked my boss into upgrading CS5.5 (Mac) because we were having audio issues with CS5. So today I'm still getting this funky behavior when dealing with RED .R3D files in CS5.5
    I have some R3D clips edited in Premiere Pro CS5.5.  Every looks fine. Audio is synced.
    When I use AE CS5.5 and File> Import> Import Premiere Pro project…, I'm getting clips that don't have any audio. There's nothing in the waveform.
    But if I File> Import… the Premiere project as a footage item, the audio is fine. (But unfortunately, I lose my full-res 4K clips that I get with the Import>Import Premiere Pro project… method.
    There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason which clips will not have any audio and which will. It's maddening.
    And it's not clear when Import Premiere Pro project will break up layers into audio-only and video-only layers or have both audio & video in the same layer. (All my source RED footage has embedded audio tracks)

    Let's keep this conversation on the other thread that you started about this:

  • Timecode on Audio channel

    Hi,
    Sorry if I sound dumb but can I print timecode on one side of the audio channel? like SMPTE?
    For exampel one mono channel music and time code on the other channel. Any idea?
    Thanks

    Well I don't know about the midi solution. YOu can try. Only way I know you need a capture card.

  • Bridge CS5 thinks mpg files are audio-only

    CS5 Production Premium.
    But when I installed I wasn't sure this was going to be the "final home", so I decided to install as a trial with the intent to either move/reinstall later, or just plug in the serial number.
    As a "trial", I quickly discovered that none of the apps recognized MPEG-2 files correctly. Yes, I failed to note that in the readme, but once I encounterer the problem I knew what was wrong.
    Added the serial number, and as I restarted the various apps most of them noted the missing codecs and installed them for me. So now, all of the apps properly recognize .mpg files.
    Except Bridge. No matter what I do, Bridge still thinks all the .mpg files are audio only. The main list shows the thumbnail as expected, but Preview thinks it's an audio file and only plays the audio.
    This is not a critical thing, because I don't really use Bridge much for my video files. But short of reinstalling, is there some way to perhaps "nudge" Bridge into properly recognizing the .mpg?
    Brad.

    I am having the same problem. Installed purchased copy of Premiere Pro. Did not do trial first.
    Any ideas or is this a bug?

  • How to set your playback in Premiere Pro CS5.5 with Tascum 144 Audio Interface?

  • How do I make sure that CS5.5 Merge clips encodes Audio at correct volume?

    Windows 7 x 64, 2 TB, 12 GB RAM,
    I am using the Premiere Pro CS5.5 Trial (full version), particularly because of the new Merge clips feature.
    The Merge clips works intuitively and easily; this is a fantastic advantage. I am creating these clips to use in Captivate 5.0.
    But, when encoded, the Audio volume has blown out so that it shatters the ear drums.
    I am not sure whether this is a PP problem, or an AME 5.5 problem.
    A second problem is this with the Merge Clips. In the Project panel, if you check the Duration of a Merge clip (in PP) it shows the original duration even although it has been altered on the Timeline.
    If I encode the video clip separately from the Audio,  I can adjust the Audio volume in Captivate, but, this:
    1) increases the overall file sizes-something I don't want for the web.
    2) the video duration and the audio duration do not match, even though they did on the Timeline. This did not happen in CS5.
    I know this is a new version, but has anyone any ideas that I might try. I have alread delayed my project waiting for CS5.5 to become available.

    Sounds like Media Encoder is actually recording the audio as a stereo file but the audio is panned to one side.
    Check that you haven't accidentally panned the audio in the mixer to one side.

  • After Effects CS5 crashes when impoting AIFF audio.

    Hi,
    AE CS5 keeps crashing me when I try to import AIFF audio.  I've tried different clips rendered from different sources, but still it's crashing.  The files are small and I have no problem processing HD video, so it's not a performance issue.  Anyone having similar problems that might lend me some advice?
    I'm running a MacPro 2 X 2.66 GHz Doal -Core Intel Xeon with 8 GB ram.
    Update:
    VERY STRANGE!  I closed that project and created a new one and presto - audio imports fine.  When I re-open the old project it still crashes when importing.  I guess that's a work-around, so problem solved (?)...

  • Timecode in audio track

    Is there a way to turn an audio track into a timecode track in FCP? I've been trying to figure this out for a while now. I shoot with an HVX and would like to have a way to jam timecode, but the HVX (like most miniDV cameras) doesn't have a timecode input.
    Thanks!

    Of course there is a third party solution. Mine:

  • Timecode inconsistency - audio out of sync ?!

    Hi all,
    I have HDV footage that was captured from a rented Sony HDV cam. We captured all the clips with Premiere Pro CS3.
    When i preview them with windows media player, all is fine. When I add them onto the timeline, i realise that a section of the audio (lets say the first 20 minutes)  keeps on repeating itself throughout the entire sequence.
    I looked at the bottom right hand corner of the screen, and i clicked on the warning icon, and it read:
    "C:\FILM SHOW.mpeg: Timecode inconsistency in MPEG srteam detected around frame 47858. Audio may be out of syn by 1319 frames"
    I need urgent help as we have returned the camera to its store and we have to finish this project as soon as possible.
    Thank You

    Sorry my bad!
    I gave the wrong link above, D'oh.  I don't reccommend striping at all.  But when I try to link to PPro Help section on the page, 'About timecode' it links to the page on striping.  Striping is like hitting your finger twice with a hammer, unneccesary.  Here's a cut and paste of the page I want to send; -
    About timecode
    Many camcorders and high‑end video decks record timecode, which marks specific frames with unique addresses. Timecode is important whenever you want to capture exactly the same frames that were identified or captured previously, as in the following tasks:
    You want to log clips before you capture them.
    You plan to capture clips using batch (automated) capture.
    You want to recapture clips because the original files became corrupted or were deleted.
    You plan to export sequences to another system by using AAF or EDL.
    You’re using a system in which you edit quickly with low‑resolution captures, and later recapture the clips at full resolution and quality for the final version.
    You plan to synchronize captured video with audio recorded separately.
    Unlike the numbers on time counters found in home VCRs, timecode is recorded onto videotape as part of the video signal. If footage lacks timecode, you can add it by copying it with a camera or deck that writes timecode. You can then log or capture the video from that device.
    For best results, timecode should run continuously from the beginning to the end of the tape; it shouldn’t restart from zero anywhere in the middle. In editing, if you log a capture In point such as 00:00:01:09 but that number occurs on the tape two or three times because of timecode restarts, Adobe Premiere Pro can’t be certain which 00:00:01:09 is the place to start its capture. It can easily capture the wrong clips from tapes with discontinuous timecode.
    To ensure unbroken timecode, you need to either shoot it continuously or stripe your tape with it before shooting.
    To ensure that you always shoot continuous timecode, record at least 5 seconds of extra video past the end of the action in any shot. If you review a clip in the camera, be sure to rewind the tape back into that 5‑second margin before recording again. Your camcorder reads the timecode from the frame on which you stop and begins recording timecode with the very next frame number when you start your next shot. Be careful; if you leave a gap between the last frame of the previous shot and the first frame of the next, the camcorder begins writing timecode at 00:00:00:00 again.
    But Jim,
    No mate, if you presume all HDV camera's do this by default, you'd be incorrect and although such a presumption here is OK - in real life with real money this erronous presumption could end up costing a production a lot of unnecessary angst and extra work.  Here's my advice, follow what Adobe advises you to do.

  • Multicam editing without timecode and audio?

    Hello!
    I am editing a multi-cam interview with the unfortunate issue of 1. having no audio recorded from the secondary camera, and 2. the camera operators did not sync timecode or set the right time/date (DSLRs) and appear to have started/stopped rolling at different times, breaking up the interview into short clips...so I've been trying to figure out, what is the best way to go about this??  Is it possible to use the multi-cam edit without audio, and if so how do I get around it being broken into small clips that don't quite match?
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi caleb116,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The multicam editing feature in FCPX will help you work around these obstacles.  The link below explains the multicam editing workflow:
    Final Cut Pro X Help: Multicam editing workflow
    http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.1/#ver10e087fd
    Having the date, time and time zone set on your recording devices before the shoot is helpful for FCPX to create multicam clips automatically.  Normally, you can sync automatically using the audio in your clips.   However, since you don’t have that option in this case, you can just sync from the start of each clip and then enter the multicam editor and manually line up the angles.

  • Why Can't Encore CS5 Pass Thru DD5.1 Audio?

    I've created mt2s files in the free software that came with my camcorder.
    I can also edit and export with Corel Video Studio Pro X3 (approx £60) and author to AVCH or BD with the free Corel DVD Movie factory software.
    My point is all the above will maintain the original DD5.1 audio and are cheap to buy or in some cases even free!
    So why when I import the edited m2ts files (NOT with Premier but with the free Panasonic HD Writer) into the expensive Encore CS5 it will not pass the 5.1 audio?  Instead it converts to stereo when building to BD.
    Surely no encoding is required as the files are BD compliant (video and audio) and therefore no Dolby license required.

  • Premiere CS5 doesn't import AVCHD audio

    Sorry out there, but I do need some help!
    Premiere CS5 wont import the audio of AVCHD clips (1920x1080 50i) shot with a Panasonic AG-HMC151E.
    Is it possible I miss an AC3 codec? Thanx

    If the AC3 is fully Dolby-compliant, the full-paid version of PrPro will have not issue with it. I would assume that your camera WILL produce fully Dolby-compliant AC3's.
    One of the issues with some AVCHD cameras is that they allow the user to record as DD 5.1 SS (6-channel), and PrPro will Import those into a 5.1 Audio Track. The rub comes with the Export from PrPro. It requires the Minnetonka Audio SurCode DD 5.1 SS encoder plug-in (costs extra), to Export as DD 5.1 SS, but PrPro will do a mix-down to 2-channel just fine.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - if one DOES go for the SurCode plug-in, be sure to buy it from within PrPro, as they will get an Adobe discount below the price from the Minnetonka Audio site. It's only about US$50, but that counts.

  • In Premiere Pro CS5.5 AVI file imports audio only - no video.

    I've got a file (one of 3) I've been given to create a smaller file (320x480) from.
    The file is an avi file and plays (video and audio) just fine in the native Windows media player. (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) There are no issues of memory or HDisc space.
    Video:
    The file is 2:21:29 in length.
    720x480
    Data rate 1489kbps
    Total bitrate 1617kbps
    29 frames/second
    Audio:
    Bit rate 128kbps
    Channels 2 (stereo)
    Audio sample rate 48 kHz
    The file is about 1.6Gb
    This is one of 3 I recieved. The other two were of comparable specs and similar length (not exactly but one was longer, the other shorter.)
    The problem is that this particular file (the other two import perfectly), when imported, only comes in as an audio file. No video imports. The other files import as audio and video. No error message either.
    I've imported all kinds of video files in the past with different frame sizes, rates, and aspect ratios, and codecs, yet I've never had one that only imports the audio without the video.
    Suggestions?!

  • ADOBE Media Encoder CS5 doesn't recognize LPCM audio

    I have a video .m2ts with 3 audio tracks, 2 are AC3 and one is LPCM. I have created a new .m2ts file with tsMuxer with only LPCM audio track, but the audio of this file is not recognized but Adobe Media Encoder, who tells me that it has "mono" audio. Windows media player fails to recnize too, and plays no audio. Lokking at properties of the file in windows, it doesn't show any audio propertuy, like as it had no audio.
    Howeaver the audio is there, because if I open this file with PoerDVD9 it plays correctly.
    If I select one of the AC3 audio tracks instead that the one with LPCM with tsMuxer, the new file player correctly and is recgnized but AME. What's the problem???

    any solution?
    the files i'm trying to convert:
    powerDVD 9 does play audio correctly
    VLC media player does play the audio correctly
    but WMP does NOT play audio correctly and AME does not see that audio at all
    happens with:
