Importing HDV files (.m2t) no audio in timeline (or sound gaps in audio file) ONLY IN CS6 !

After importing HDV files, wait for conforming, and drop the files to sequence, on some files there is no audio at all or partial audio.
All files played OK in any mediaplayer.
I have no such problems in CS5 or 5.5 using the same files in the same project and sequence type. HDV 1080i/25 
I reinstall PR CS6 and I delete all ".cfa" and ".pek" files, but no success.

All right so what I just discover so far in order to resolve this non sense bug thing, I've exported the faulted sequence in EDL, track by track.
On the original sequence, I had a Prores 422 video clip name "Clip 497" that was manually sync with an audio file call "Audio 10".
At another timecode in the original timeline, I had a h264 clip name "MVI_0050" that was synced with an audio file call "Tascam_0455".
I said that when I select only an audio file in the timeline and I make reveal in the project, it links me to the correct audio file in the bin but when I make match frame or reveal in the finder, it links the audio to a video file. The
Well the EDL just confirmed that, in the timeline created by the EDL, I have to relink manually all the files (wich is a pain in...) and my mysterious audio file "Audio 10" appears with the name "MVI_0050", I can still link it to the original "Audio 10" but I don't understand HOW an audio get to be linked to a video file......
The audio file coming from the Tascam still have their original names in the timeline.
Very weird and not very cool.
Oh  and guess what, after closing Premiere and re open it, my sequence coming from the EDL where I spent 1 hours to manually relink the media....does not have sound anymore.......................

  • How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

    How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
    I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
    Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • Imported AIFF into timeline and it made my audio lower. Can't fix it! Help!

    I tried putting an aiff file into my timeline and it made the audio on my narration track lower and now my video ads a few frames every second or so to make up for some sort of time accomodation that this aiff file created for my project. I don't know where to even start to fix this problem. Help!

    just a thought to try to narrow down what's causing the issues, try converting the aiff to wav and see if that changes any of the issues your having.  Also check the kHz.  I've encounter some stange issues here and there mixing 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz in early versions of Premiere.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when importing HDV Video

    For some reason I keep getting crashes when importing HDV (720p60) video into the timeline of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  This has happened on two different machines, with similar specs.
    Per the suggested guidelines, here are the specifics:
    Version of Premiere Pro: CS6, Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC:264587))
    All updates have been installed.
    Operating System: Mac OS X 10.8.5.
    Source footage: HDV 720p60 video in .MOV container.
    Full text of error message: "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down.  We will attempt to save your current project."
    Link to full crash report: http://goo.gl/Gn8Bzn
    Crash occurs when trying to import HDV .MOV file.
    This is a consistent problem when importing .MOV files of this type.
    Complete Adobe Creative Suite is installed.  Also using Episode Pro encoding software from Telestream to prepare HDV video.  No other external video hardware or codecs installed.
    Yes, I am using the Mecury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me figure this one out.

  • Importing HDV AVI

    I had some Super 8 transferred to HDV and the telecine service sent it back in AVI files.
    I imported them to the timeline and they won't play smoothly.  I was advised to install xvid and divx and it makes no difference.
    What are my best options?

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Harm Millaard wrote:
    I doubt that the transfer of Super-8 to HDV will work in the manner you describe. HDV is .M2T format and can only be captured over firewire from tape. If you don't have tape to capture from, you have to ingest by copying the .M2T files to your hard disk. Since you mention AVI files and say they are HDV your best bet is to convert the AVI to M2T files. Maybe it is only the wrapper and renaming will do the trick, otherwise you have to find an external converter or ask your telecine service to redo their work, especially since they utter the absolute curses of every video editor 'Xvid' and 'Divx'.
    Not entirely true, m2t is not the only method of acquiring video from HDV tape. They could have done an analog component or SDI capture into an AVI file with any codec they chose. Or they could have captured via firewire into an AVI container instead of an MPEG file. Our Matrox Axio system allows us to capture HDV tapes via firewire into an AVI with Matrox Codec in premiere.

  • Trouble importing HDV mini DV footage from my Sony HVR Z7U into FCP 6.0.6

    Cannot import HDV mini DV footage from my HVR Z7U camcorder into Final Cut Pro
    I can Import the footage as an NTSC 720x480 signal.
    One consistent answer is to make sure that in camcorders menu settings that the IN/OUT REC - iLINK SET is set to off.
    No Luck, no communication with FCP in that mode.
    That being said when cameras ilink is on I can import 740/480 NTSC video, not HDV.
    Here’s where I’m at now
    The video was shot in 1080i 30p onmini DV.  With my Sony HVR Z7U Ican only import the video into FCP as a NTSC 720x480 signal. It looks great butnot in HDV?
    I believe I have tried most every setting in my FCP audio video settings to import the HD footage into FCP. FCPseems to only recognize the camcorder in the NTSC mode.
    Example - In  FCP  Audio /Video Settings
    Sequence Preset - HDV 108030p
    Capture Preset    - HDV
    Device Control     - HDV FireWire Basic
    Video Playback   - Only gives none or NTSC choices(I chose Apple FireWire)
    With the setting above and Sony’s  ilink off- window alert reads…
    “Device is not connected or the capture preset is not set up correctly. You may still log offline clips. This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.” The camcorder viewer reads the digital footage as 1080i 30p. So it’s not shot in DV footage.
    With the iLink on - I get the same window alert.  Unless I capture in NTSC
    For me FCP will only log and capture the footage when the Capture and Device Control Presets are set to a NTSC format and the camcorder ilink is on. Hence an NTSC 720x480 signal is imported. Not HDV?
    Come on, I know this a common problem and I must be missing something very simple. Please Help! Many thanks.

    FCP 6.0.6

    Someone mentioned using log and transfer. I use this with all my Compact Flash HD videos. I have found no info for importing HDV from mini DV in log and transfer with a (my) camcorder.

    Gary, this is the Final Cut Pro X forum.  You might try the other forum for FCP. Still, I have the Z5U Sony which is nearly identical to your camera except for the zoom as I recall.  I think we have the same menu system.  I see to recall there is a menu option that sets the output file format.  Also you can set it to record in SD as well as I recall.  I read my files in from tape to FCP X easily ... in high def.  Best wishes.

  • No audio on Timeline Premiere Elements 13 and no longer on 12 after upgrading to 13.

    On my Mac with OS X Yosemite I've worked with Premiere Elements 12 for a while and it just worked fine. Now I;ve upgraded to Elements 13 and the clips that were fine the other day have now lost there audio when I put them on the Timeline. However if I double click the clip in project assets and play it on the clip monitor everything is fine, but as soon as I send it to the timeline or storyboard the audio disappears. I'm in a spot now as I can't use 13 and neither return to Elements 12. Any ideas will be very much apprexiated.

    Ted
    Momentary detour.....
    Could we go over the path
    Just a week ago I created a movie with Elements 12 on this same Mac with OS X Yosemite and ij
    just worked fine. On second thoughts the movie was a bit too long, so I
    imported the saved project to re-edit it, only to find out that the audio
    had gone for the greater part of the clips on the timeline. I closed
    elements 13 and reopened 12 and the saved project with the same result.
    When you got to second thoughts, what did you do....
    a. rebuild the project anew in Premiere Elements 13?
    b. import the Premiere Elements 12 export in Premiere Elements 13?
    c. open the Premiere Elements 12 project in Premiere Elements 13?
    I ask since you cannot import one project file into another and you wrote "imported the saved project".
    You wrote after the file was drag from Premiere Elements 13 Project Assets to Timeline
    only to find out that the audio had gone for the greater part of the clips on the timeline.
    What was gone - the representation of the whole audio clip on the audio track or just the sound
    for the whole? Was the duration of the clip listed in Project Assets, the same as observed at
    its Timeline level?
    If you took this Premiere Elements 13 Timeline (problem audio there) to export, was there sound in the export?
    If you create a project in an earlier version, it is often possible to open it in a later version to work with the project in the later version.
    But, you cannot open the later version edited project in the earlier project again. So, I was not sure what you were describing when
    you wrote
    I closed elements 13 and reopened 12 and the saved project with the same result.
    What saved project?
    Premiere Elements 13 Audio
    Please consider deleting the Media Cache Files Folder where the program saves the automatically generated conformed audio.
    To locate that Folder, on Windows I could go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks/Media Cache to find location for the Media Cache Files Folder. Is that the
    same for Mac?
    Also, please let us know if the flawed Premiere Elements 13 Timeline audio content exports OK or contains the flaws encountered before export.
    Again, please excuse if I have included things that you were already aware of. Because of the nature of your issue, I did not want to take anything for grant.

  • Editing Audio from Timeline in Another Program

    Often, one will want to edit the Audio on the Timeline, in another application, like Adobe Audition. Premiere versions allow for this to be done easily, and with exacting control.
    Let's say that one has dozens of edited Clips on the Timeline, and they wish to edit ALL of the Audio. * Editing those individual Clips is easy, but how does one edit them all in one file, which will then replace the original Audio in the Clips?
    The best way to accomplish this is to Export, or Share the Timeline as an Audio Only file. This Export/Share will be slightly different, depending on the exact Premiere program, and even on the version of that Premiere Program. Often, the Audio-only Export/Share is from the MS AVI Export/Share screen. One would choose Export Audio, leaving Export Video unchecked. If Multiplexing does not automatically set to "None," choose that now.
    For this "round-trip" process, the Audio file format is very important. The ideal choice of Export/Share is PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit. This will yield an uncompressed Audio file, that almost every Audio editing program will easily handle, and is also the format, that one will want to Export, or Save from the Audio editor, for the second leg of our round-trip.
    Import, or Open that resultant PCM/WAV in the Audio editing program, and edit, as is needed. When done, just Export, or Save (depends on the program) that edited Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit. In some Audio editing programs, this will be listed as WAV (Uncompressed). The Sample-Rate and Bit-Depth are important, as the 48KHz and 16-bit are the ideal for any flavor of Premiere, and though Conforming will be necessary for editing, it will be easy on the program, and there will be no issues. Stay away from any compressed Audio formats/CODEC's, like MPEG/MP3. You do not want to throw away precious data at any step. That is why we use PCM/WAV for the Export/Share, and then the Export/Save from the Audio editing program.
    When done, just Import that resultant PCM/WAV into Premiere. Wait a moment for all Conforming to complete, and then drag that WAV to the Timeline, on a free Audio Track that matches your WAV's Channel-count, i.e. a 2-channel Audio Track for Stereo, or a 1-channel Audio Track for Mono (these must match in Premiere). For more detail on channel-count and Audio Tracks, see this ARTICLE.
    Now comes a personal preference for completing this round-trip. I like to leave my original Audio, just in case I change my mind. Gathering up and Trimming the original Audio can be a tedious task. As I have placed my edited WAV onto an empty Audio Track, I just go to Window>Audio Mixer, and Mute any/all Audio Tracks, containing my original Audio. It's still there, if I ever need it, but is now Muted.
    Hope that this helps,
    Hunt
    * Sometimes we want part of the Timeline's Audio, but that part spans multiple Clips. There is no need to Export/Share the entire Timeline, and then Trim it. Just set the WAB (Work Area Bar) to the part that we do want, and make sure to choose "Work Area" in the Export/Share settings dialog.
    Also, and especially when doing just a segment, covered by the WAB, I like to position the CTI (Current Time Indicator) or Playhead (CS 5.5) at the beginning of the WAB, with Snap ON. As I drag my edited WAV to the free Audio Track, it will Snap into place, right at the beginning of the WAB.

    There isn't any simply way to where you want to go.
    You can export each track separately. Switch off the audibility for all the tracks except one. Export the track. Repeat for each of the tracks in the timeline. Export the video for reference.

  • When importing a clip to adobe premiere elements 11 the sound on the video doesnt appear in the audio

    audio help

    if7yg
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on? If Mac, was your purchase the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor from the Mac App Store?
    Be that as it may, what are the properties of the video audio file that you are importing in Premiere Elements 11?
    A quick way might be for you to tell us the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video audio file (including the file extension of the file).
    When the file reaches the Expert workspace Timeline which is the case
    a. no sound, but audio file is represented on Audio 1
    b. no sound, audio file not represented on Audio 1
    c. no sound, audio file represented on Audio 1 and, when you toggle the Audio Display Style to waveform, you
    see or do not see a waveform.
    (to the left of the word Audio 1 is a speaker icon...clicking on that icon toggles the audio track display...one of the
    two choices is the waveform).
    Assuming Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for now, go to Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12 and delete the complete contents of the Media Cache Files Folder that you find there. Then open the program and determine if the audio problem persists. Look to the bottom right of the workspace to observe any "conforming" activity in progress when you import the file.
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thank you.

  • Small blips in audio in timeline

    ok this only just happened today idk why but when i place an audio file (mp3 mp4 ripped, bought doesnt matter) i get small blips in the audio most noticeable when theres only one instrument playing or one person singing, its almost like audio hiccups every second and it does it after exporting it as well. it works fine in the sample window but in the timeline its doing this.
    idk if this is related either but im wondering if fce is working right becuz ive always had to render something everytime i import it or even just move text on the screen i could still make movies fine but it would take forever due to all the rendering

    its not a beep its just a small annoying blip almost like someone is tapping something leather in the background and it messes with the audio itself it sounds like the audio is skipping every second it does that

  • Premiere Elements 11 - No audio on playback using MP4 or MOV video files

    Hello,
    I've recently started using Premiere Elements for a project I'm working on and I'm learning as I go.
    When I'm adding a video that plays audio in another program to Premiere, the audio won't play.
    I've checked the audio and audio hardware settings and they both seem fine.  The mixer is not muted and when I publish the file, there is still no audio.
    Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dale

    I am assuming that you are working with Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12. On what computer operating system are they running?
    Can you open your .avi file in the Elements Organizer 12 and playback the file there and hear audio in the playback?
    We have just helped a Premiere Elements user resolve a no sound with .avi file in another thread. Her answer was to update Premiere Elements 12 to 12.1 (See opened project Help Menu/Update.) Why is there no sound on avi files?
    The details are in the link cited in my conversions with the user Vickie.
    The full video and audio properties of the problem files are needed to evaluate situation such as you describe. In the case of the other user, she was not able to give us anything beyond .avi file. But, fortuately that 12.0 to 12.1 suggestion came to the rescue nonetheless. Bottom line is that, if the 12.0 to 12.1 Update does not resolve your issue, then we will need to go "by the book" and gather file properties, project settings, and the like to try to target the cause of your audio issue. Have you added to this project any narration clips from the program's Narration Tool?
    If you create a new project, can you hear the audio from this .avi file in it? Is the problem confined to one .avi file or to any of these .avi files that you import into new or pre-existing projects. Can you hear the audio from non .avi files?
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • I am importing a video and in iMovie the video is now white. the audio still plays and I can play the video properly outside of iMovie so any help is good?

    I am importing a video and in iMovie the video is now white. the audio still plays and I can play the video properly outside of iMovie so any help is good?

    I going to recommend again, downloading and installing some video helper applications.
    1. http://perian.org/ (this will add a number of different file types to the ones QuickTime already plays)
    2. http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac (will add more file types to what QuickTime can play)
    Either one of these might be necessary to get MPEG Streamclip to export the video. Failing that the only other thing I have found is an obscurve discussion thread on Avid.com:
    http://duc.avid.com/archive/index.php/t-277791.html
    I've figured out what the problem is on my end. The video came from Avid on a Windows machine and was encoded with Squeeze. I found out that the 2 seconds of black at the top of the video were at a different frame rate than the rest of the video. I chopped off the 2 seconds of black and started at the first frame of video, exported it with Quicktime Pro and was able successfully view the video in ProTools. Apparently Squeeze will let you create a movie file that has different frame rates within the same movie... This fixed my issue that was exactly as you describe, hopefully it might work for you.
    Lastly, you could try converting the video clip using HandBrake

  • "Type of file not supported" but previous timeline files OK

    Simply put, I have projects that I can open up and they display and edit the MTS files from my Panasonic camera fine.  yet, I cannot add any new MTS files or even import ones that are already in the timeline without it saying to me "Type of file not supported".  It obviously supports them since my project before imported and I edited them without problem.
    I just got done uninstalling and reinstalling the software.  But no help.
    How can it see and use MTS files in my timeline yet cannot recognize any of the same files in the media folder?
    I'm stuck with a useless Premiere Application.  $99 down the drain.
    Help!

    I found out the problem.
    The MTS files can't be dragged into the timefrom from the media folder.
    They can be dragged from the project folder.
    That is the simple fact.  Even though it says it does not recognize the file type in the media area, if you import a file into the media area it also appears in the project area and you can go to the project area to drop the file into the timeline.
    Go figure...
    I am editing away once again.  This is what happens when you don't use a program for a while.
    Oil well...
