Encore Timeline Audio Sound Vanishes from Dynamic Link to PPro CS4

Windows XP Pro SP 3
CS4 Production Suite Premium
Premiere Pro V4.2.1
Encore V4.0.1.048
Problem: Encore Timeline Audio Sound Vanishes from Dynamic Link to PPro CS4
I have several several PPro CS 4 projects each with a couple sequences.
In Encore CS4, I make dynamic links to the sequences using
Adobe Dynamic Link | Import Premiere Pro Sequence ...
In Encore, I create the Timelines for the Sequences from the dynamic links.
In the Encore Timeline for each sequence, each Timeline initially plays the video and audio correctly.
However, should I make any minor edits in Premiere (via edit original in Encore) like changing a title's text and re-rendering the PPro sequence, the Encore Timeline plays the video fine, but there is no audio (the audio track is there, but no audio sound occurs). The Encore dynamic link is untranscoded.
The following do not make the Encore Timeline audio track audible.
Update markers from source.
Clean database button for PPro and Encore.
Deleting the media Cache and Media Cache Files folders.
Deleting the Encore Cache folder.
The only way which seems to fix the audio is to delete the Encore Timeline and generate a new Timeline from the dynamic link. Of course, this means relinking the end actions for the buttons and timelines which is a pain and defeats the purpose of using dynamic links.
I have been using dynamic links without audio problems for quite awhile without a problem. Now this problem appears in many projects. Thanks in advance.

Haven't seen a post from the OP since this one.
I cannot directly answer, but here's some info.
From a variety of users comments, and my limited experience with CS4 and significant experience wiht CS5, there were improvements in CS5.
The number one issue when users find no audio in DL situations is not waiting for conforming. Look at the progress bar and wait till done.
You are more likely to see DL audio problems using files in Premeire that are not as easy for Encore (e.g. mp3).

Help! Anyone using Dynamic Link to PPro with success?

I follow the docs precisely, open new multitrack, go to dynamic link, open Ppro sequence, and it shows video only--no waveforms. Audio does play, but now waveforms appear in the audio track. What am I missing? To do any serious editing, I need to see the waveforms! Thanks in advance.

buraihan, thank you for putting me straight on this. It is so easy to
fall into the trap that if things aren't working it must be the
installation. Then you go to a lot of trouble to reinstall and then
end up messing everything up.
Yes I had studied the relative help pdfs including the link you
quote. The fact that it tells you to open a multitrack file is so
deceiving but the last sentence:
'To edit or process the video, use Adobe Premiere Pro or After
Effects.'
does rather give the truth away.
I suppose Soundbooth is only really useful if you are adding say a
music track to an already finished video sequence rather than tidying
up your audio in the sequence itself. I'll stick to doing it in
Premiere and I suppose if wav files need a little extra from
Soundbooth you have to do it a clip at a time - suppose that's ok.
I'm pretty new to video editing (although I have very many years of
computer experience). I am doing video demos for my site
angelakane.co.uk Any workflow suggestion would be helpful although I
am learning a lot by just doing it - I'm not in the movie business. I
do want good sound though. My youngest son is a talented film maker
and he uses Final Cut, Logic and Pro Tools so I don't get much
sympathy - says Soundbooth is a waste of time!
Thanks again, especially for responding so quickly.
AngieVK,

Encore CS4 crashes from Dynamic Link

I can open Encore fine but its when I do Dynamic Link from Premiere to Encore that it crashes and asks me to report the problem. This is the first of me having this problem has we havent used the feature very much. Thanks for any help.

Though written for NLE work, most of the tips in this ARTICLE hold true for an authoring session too. Might be something useful in it.
Good luck, and hope that something helps,

Encore keeps freezing when I use dynamic link from premiere. Any thoughts?

I just got done editing my sequence in Premiere Pro CS6. I've added my chapter markers and sent to Encore via Dynamic Link. Once I choose my project name and location it begins the import. At 50% it freezes. I've tried it on multiple machines and hard drives. I've done this a million times before and have now just run into issues. Any thoughts?
I'm working on a 2010 Mac Pro and a 2013 Macbook Pro (non retina)

You'll have a much better chance asking your question in the Encore forum. There are not many Encore users who venture here. This forum is for general Creative Suite questions.

Why does all of my Encore timeline audio play except for one section?

I am authoring a bluray that contains 8 different (approx) 15 minute video files. All of the audio plays except for one of the 15 minute files, which falls 7th in the sequence. I am importing the sequence into Encore CS6 from Premiere CS6. The audio plays fine in Premiere CS6, but when imported into Encore CS6, it is completely silent, only for that one 15 minute portion. All other audio in the sequence plays fine. I have tried re-importing the sequence under a different name, no success. The video plays fine in Encore, just not the audio.
Premiere CS6
Encore CS6
Windows 7

Here's an odd note- I went through Premiere Elements 11 and turned all 8 clips into one big m2t file, whose audio played fine in Elements and Windows Media Player, and when I imported it into Encore, the audio failed in the exact same spot, even though Clip 7's Audio plays just fine when imported solo as an Asset into Encore.
I have worked around this by importing everything as individual Assets/Timelines, but now I am for some reason not able to fit as much footage onto my disc. This is all very aggravating and I am making it work for now but would like to figure out the root of this problem or determine if it is some unconquerable design flaw by Adobe.

Poor quality after timeline rendering of after effects dynamic link comp.

One of my typical workflows involves dynamic linking AE comps into Premiere- Often I can playback the timeline in Premiere without rendering and achieve great results with no dropped frames. This scenario is ideal since I need to play out sequences in premiere passing them through a Matrox MXO2 LE box to capture them on another system. However, I have noticed recently that if I need to render the Premiere sequences before playback because the dynamically linked AE comps are more complicated, I lose quite a bit of quality after rendering.I've searched around and read about different quality settings in both AE and PP and I can't seem to find any settings that affect this process. Pause and playback quality are both set to full, tried checking rendered maximum depth/quality in the sequence settings and I still can't get this right. I am perplexed since I would think that results would be better post-render.

The video preview settings were set to DV NTSC. I'm not sure why I didn't think to look at those settings. I went ahead and downloaded the Ut Video Codec Suite and things are now looking great - just like they do when I do not render the sequences. I am noticing now that my HD sequences usually are setup to use Matrox's Mpeg2 I frames only codec.
Is the lossless codec choice always the best/most efficent choice to be used for the preview codec? I assume if I was not dynamic linking I should match this codec with the codec of the files in my sequence, is this correct?

Audio sounds different from DVDSP to Build File

I have a background audio track that sounds different when I view my VIDEO_TS folder using Apple DVD Player. In my FCP file, my exported AIF, my exported AC3, and within the DVDSP simulator, the audio sounds perfectly fine.
But when I make a build and view it in Apple DVD Player, it sounds very different. I'd describe the resulting sound as having more 'contrast': the 'loud' parts are the same, but the quiet parts are moderately quieter. Any idea what's going on?

What dialogue normalisation setting did you use (in A. Pack, or Compressor) for your Dolby Digital coding to create the .AC3s? If you use the default setting of -27dB, a (correctly set-up) player will change the audio levels on playback. If you change the setting to -31dB before coding, the levels are left alone on playback.
(There is a lot of material about Dolby Digital on their web-site, if you require "further reading".)

Dynamic link problem, PPro cs5 - AE cs5, multi-cam sequence

This is odd. I'm working on a two camera interview in Production Premium CS5. Did the standard stuff - a source sequence with both cameras, did some rough editing here (syncing the two cameras, trimming the clips, etc.). Then nested the source sequence into a multi-cam edit sequence. Used the multi-cam monitor to switch back and forth between cameras, etc. All is good.
But my editor wants to make three separate videos from this interview. So the logical thing (so I thought anyway) would be to nest this muiti-cam edit squence into three separate target sequences. Then I could get the camera switching done just once, and slice-'n-dice the three target sequences to make the short-'n-sweet individual videos that make my editor happy. Did this for the first target (a single question and answer). The result looks fine in PPro, and editor approves. All that's left is adding the lower thirds.
Everything fine until I go to export to AE via dynamic link so I can add lower thirds and finish up. What PPro sends to AE isn't just my target sequence, but it also sends the multi-cam edit sequence and the source sequence as well. But.... it ignores it all and will only show me the Acam footage. Bcam doesn't show up at all. Clearly this isn't working. But now I find that I can't even break the links. So I can't even start over. Sigh...
Two questions: First, how does one export a multi-cam edit sequence via dynamic link from PPro to AE, and have it show up in AE looking like it does in PPro? In other words, what did I do wrong?
Second, how can I recover from this? Do I really have to delete my target sequence in PPro and start over (and by extension, delete the AE project also)? Is there no way to sever a dynamic link once it's made?
Bruce Watson

Um.... didn't work. Seems that AE and PPro have different ideas of what "transparency" mean. The lower thirds composition in AE has a transparent (black) background which works fine in AE (I've used this lower thirds quite a bit in AE so I know it works pretty well), but when I import it into PPro it shows as white, and is completely opaque. Lettering doesn't show up either (but the letters are white so that's not such a surprise given the background), but the motion is still there. None-the-less, either way I tried it (copy and paste, or export from AE as a PPro project, then import it in PPro and drag the AE built sequence to the timeline) didn't work.
Trying to export just the lower third comp from AE through dynamic link as a PPro project didn't work either. Failed weirdly. It popped up the right sequence creation box in PPro, so I could pick AVCHD 1080p30 as the sequence type (matching the other sequences in the project), and created the new sequence with the correct name. But the sequence was empty. It wouldn't let me drag the lower third sequence anywhere either, so I couldn't put it on a timeline.
Sigh... this isn't supposed to be this difficult. But hey, if it was easy anyone could do it, yes?

Getting Dynamic Link to work (CS4 Windows)

I've done enough Googling and searching these forums to know that Adobe Dynamic Link will work only in a suite environment, and found instructions on deactivating, uninstalling, running Clean Script, etc.
Before I do all that, maybe someone can tell me if it's even possible with what I have: the suite contains After Effects, Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and Fireworks. For whatever reason, After Effects has its own serial number. Separately, I have a box for Premiere Pro & Encore and a box for Sound Booth. So that's 3 boxes, all CS4, running on Win 7 x64.
So is Dynamic Link possible, or do I abandon all hope? I could have sworn it worked before I reformatted the drive, but maybe I was imagining things.

As far as I know, Premiere Pro must be part of a suite to have Dynamic Link... you do not describe PP in a suite
But... go to the Adobe product pages and read what is included with "just" PPro/Encore and when PPro is part of a suite

Beats Audio completely vanished from my HP Envy 6 1010ea

I recently updated my ultrabook and the beats audio control panel completely vanished!
It was working fine before the updates (of which were 'recommended by HP')...
I can still switch the beats function on and off using fn+b but when I go to open the beats audio control it says start up file not found....
Any help?

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56501-57000/sp56717.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load. Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
Regards,

Dynamic link AE PPRO CC2014

Issues w/ DL AE & PPRO CC 2014. If I just do some things in PPRO for a couple of minutes, then go back to the timeline where there is a AE DL, the timeline won't play--picture freezes audio plays. If I toggle to AE , then go back to PPRO, timeline plays OK. It's like the DL goes to sleep and when I do something in AE it wakes up and the PPRO timeline works. This also happened in CC until I check Prevent App Nap (BTW, I've checked Prevent App Nap on CC 2014 PPRO, AME & Audition), but this is not available in AE 2014. (terminal cmd for global turn off App Napp ? -- sudo defaults write -g NSAppSleepDisabled -bool true)
I've ultimately had to uninstall all CC2014 and go back to CC where everything works. Others seem to have same problem. Any useful response would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin,
Yes. If I close AE the DL segments plays OK.
Also, if I do it all in CC (both PPRO & AE) it works great. It's only when I get to CC 2014 that thefan gets hit!
Thanks,

Is there a way to get the highest audio peak to display (and hold) in PPro CS4?

I have to deliver my projects to a client with the audio mixdown at a specific level, namely, no greater than -6db. It would be great if, while playng back the sequence, the Master level would show, and hold to peak audio level reached. As we know, the peaks do indeed display, but disappear almost as fast as they appear, so it doesn't do me any good. There are two problems for this: 1. I must be blind, or something. 2. My mind doesn't work fast enough to notice where the little yellow bar appears, and then remember it at the end of the clip. HELP. Thanks, Steve.

Steve,
I do not know of any Hold feature on the meters. To my knowledge, only the red (overload) will "hold." Maybe I am about to learn something.
One could Normalize to -6db, but then I am NOT a fan of Normalizing in either PrPro, or Audition.
In Audition, the Waveform Display is more accurate than the representation I see in PrPro. There, it's pretty easy to graph the peaks and see where they fall (or "rise"). Do not know how SoundBooth displays, and if it's any more accurate, than PrPro. Now, PrPro is not bad, I just find it a bit more of an emulation, than what one has in Audition - maybe it's just my eyes... ?
Good luck and hope that someone knows of a display Hold.

Encore CS6 Dynamic Link from Pr CS6 Problem/Issue

I switched from Production Premium CS5 to CS6. I first deactivated and uninstalled my CS5 then installed CS6 on my Windows 7 machine.
The problem:
When I edit together a video in Premiere CS6 and have finished, I use Dynamic Link from within Encore CS6 to bring in that timeline. After that, I use AME to transcode that Dynamic Link asset to the DVD MPEG standard, Encore CS6 keeps poping up a notification window that says: "The transcoded DynamicLink asset _______ has changed on the server. Would you like to reimport it? Yes/No" It prompts me each time I enter Encore and any time I move from another open program back to Encore.
And I have to click No for each timeline that I have used Dynamic Link for (which is usually 5 or so).
Any ideas or help? This is incredibly annoying.
Thank you.
Jared

As an update. I am using the newest version of PluralEyes (v 2.0.5 7358) to sync the audio of the multiple camera event films I have shot. I have since created a new project in Premiere and only manually lined up clips and then Dynamically Linked that to a new Encore project and so far Encore has not promtpted me with the error/message: "The transcoded DynamicLink asset _______ has changed on the server. Would you like to reimport it? Yes/No"
Any ideas? This is very frustrating. Thank you!

Dynamic Link Premiere to Encore CS4

I'm under the impression that each time you export from Premiere to Encore you have to start a new project. Am I correct? The only way to get your Premiere edits into Encore is to be in Encore and use the procedure = File > Dynamic Link > Import from Premiere. I have completed this step an I see in my Encore Project Window a Premiere sequence, but it's not the current edits I did in Premiere. Form Premiere I do a File>Dynamic Link>Export to Encore routine. It creates a new project. I check the timeline in the new project and it is the updated edits I did in Premiere. But I can't get the updated edits into my old Encore project. How do I get my new Permiere edits into Encore project.

No, not correct. But it is a bit hard to find in help. someone added this comment on the help page below:
Director Jones: Just drag sequences from Premiere project window and drop into an existing encore project (or) Open your existing encore project and try "File->Adobe Dynamic Link->Import Premiere sequence" option.
