Last ~10% of audio clips do not play

My imported music tracks will not play the last approximately 10% of the clip. At first I thought it was a result of trying to use 6-10 minute music clips, as 1-3 minute tracks never seem to fail, but found that even trimming off all but the last minute of a long clip (making a 10 minute clip into a 2 minute clip) and trying to use that resulted in it's last 10% not playing!
The waveform for each audio clip shows up in its Source Tab and is just fine. But scrubbing or playing the clip works only up to about the 90% point and then sound goes silent. This is true for the Source player or when the audio is inserted into the Timeline.
I have converted the original .m4a audio files to both mp3 and wma but always with the same result. All converted clips play fine in both QuickTime and WM Player players, so it is something within CS4 Premier Pro itself that is failing.
I have tried everything I can think of without results, and have run out of ideas.
Any suggestions, anyone?

I agree re: MP3. I seldom use it, but I fell into the trap of thinking that since I was having problems with the captured CD and WMA, that certainly Premier would handle MP3, the most ubiquitous format around, without problems.
So I was really buffaloed when even the MP3 formats failed!
I usually don't do anything in WAV because the files are so large, but that said I have a 1.5 Tb drive so don't know what in the heck I am worried about!
Thanks again.

Online video clips do not play correctly on all browsers

I am unable to play video clips at the right speed without them stalling and stuttering. For example, a typical YouTube clip will not play correctly, so the video will stutter and the sound won't play in time with the video.
This is especially frustrating when wanting to play music video clips as the song will stutter. This happens regardless of browser - Firefox, Safari or Netscape.
I have a broadband Internet connection but wonder whether I need to adjust speed settings somewhere so sound and music play correctly.
I have no problems playing songs via iTunes or watching video clips using Quicktime, it's just the embedded video clips on YouTube etc that won't play correctly.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Flash video is very CPU intensive, open activity monitor and look at your CPU usage while trying to watch a YouTube video, no doubt it is at 100%.
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about this - my 400 Mhz G3 can't handle flash video and by the look of some previous posts on the forum I'd be surprised if any can .

I've created a movie but at the end there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing. How can I select it and delete it?

Hello everyone,
This is Karie Garnier in British Columbia, Canada.
I'm new to FCPX.
I've created a 20 minute movie, but at the end of the movie, there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing.
How can a video clip be playing and making sounds, when it doesn't appear in the timeline? and ...
How can I select this invisible audio clip and delete it?

I think you could be right, that it's an old render file that's got stuck.
By the time I finished this movie my 500 GB hard drive was 99.9% full and
FCP started acting wierd, so I suspect you are right.
I have since upgraded my hard drive to one 1000 GBs but when I play the movie the
glitch remains.
Can you please tell me:
a) How can I fix the old render file so that it is no longer stuck? ... and
b) How do I take a screen shot of the timeline?

One of my audio books will not play. My music plays. And my other audio book plays. When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing. I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning.

One of my audio books will not play. My music plays. And my other audio book plays. When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing. I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning, and still does play. How do you report a problem with a mandatory apple app?

Audiobooks purchased from Audible.com. They play on iTunes on my computer. They have been playing on my iPod Classic until two days ago. I'm in the middle of two books and now one does not keep track of where I am and the other does not play. I also have other books not playing on the iPod that use to play. They all play on iTunes on my computer.

Audio cd does not play properly

I have an early 2008 macbook with a cd/dvd combo drive. My problem is audio CDs will not play or import properly. The music scratches and pops and sometimes there is no sound at all. When I try to import the audio, sometimes the files will only be 10 seconds long, but the track on the cd is 7 minutes. Also when importing a CD some of the tracks in iTunes say "Not Available" where the length of the track is listed. DVDs, on the other hand, play fine.
I'm not using burned discs. These are brand new audio CDs.

I just started having the same issue, I just got a brand new cd and when I import the cd I get skips and scratches in the music. I just updated to 10.6 today, and I don't know if it is a problem with the new operating system or with my aging machine (most likely my machine because it is a '06 MB). I know it is not the CD because I can play it on my surround sound at home with no skips. Any ideas how to fix the issue?

Trying to make a disc.img from an iMovie project get the mssage that some of the audio clips are not available. The clips still show as green bars in the project but do not play.

I successfully made a disc.img and then burned a DVD of the project but found an error in a title. Went back to the project, corrected the error, and tried to create a new disc.img but got the message that some of the audio tracks were unavailable. They still show as green bars in the project but do not play. Tried deleting and reinstalling them with no success. They do play in iTunes and in the iMovie editing pane
Thank you

If I just put the JTextArea{s} in as the Editor, then you lose the any text that doesn't fit inside whatever the initial size was. Instead, I put the JTextAreas inside a JScrollPane which works fine, except that I still have to determine the size of the JScrollPane in advance. I would like to make each Editor/JScrollPane start out with just a single line of text and expand until it reaches a certain small number of lines.

}OP, your code was too long and complicated for me to compile and run. However, aren't you forgetting the two simple methods <tt>JTextArea.setLineWrap()</tt> and <tt>JTextArea.setWrapStyleWord()</tt>? Furthermore, I absolutely see no need for you to extend SWING components for demonstration this simple -- that is, if I understand your problem correctly.

How do you allow an audio clip to keep playing after a video clip fades out at the end of an iMovie? I want the audio clip to fade out later... this used to be easy in an older version of iMovie.

I just updated to iMovie 11. I want the final music to play beyond the last video clip and fade out. How do I do this? Do I need to import a black screen?

Yes, I've done this, but I can't figure out how to get the audio to fade. I think I need to explain further. This is really a simple movie made from multiple photo stills from my son's school. There are cross fade transition betwee the stills, and some titiles that cross fade too. So there is not actual video. Thus everything shows only in the project library, where I dragged in the photo stills to import them. There is nothing in the event (or is in the clip) window in the bottom. I can't figure out how to get the volume lines to show for the audio clip in the project library as they did in the old version of iMovie so I could drag them up or down.

Premiere Pro CS3 PCM audio recognized but not playing back

Hello all,
I have an AVI file which uses the Huffyyuv codec and PCM audio. Premier Pro (PP) recognizes the audio, as I see the audip specs in the project pane.
The following are the properties of the source video:
Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 500.2 MB
Image Size: 720 x 400
Pixel Depth: 720
Frame Rate: 25.00
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:01:11:09
Average Data Rate: 7.0 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
AVI File details:
Contains 1 video track(s) and 1 audio track(s).
Interleave: 1 : 0.50
Video track 1:
Size is 487.04M bytes (average frame = 287.06K bytes)
There are 1784 keyframes.
Frame rate is 25.00 fps
Frame size is 720 x 400
Depth is 24 bits.
Compressor: 'HFYU', Huffyuv v2.1.1
Audio track 1:
Size is 13.06M bytes
Rate is 48000 samples/sec
Sample size is 16 bits
The audio will play on all media players and also on Windows Movie Maker. But on PP, it does not play in the source monitor or in the timeline.
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks in advance!

Well, the PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit should be fine.
Since it is not, something must be afoot. The first thing that I would do is check that that Clip has a CFA and PEK file n the Media Cache folder. If not, then Conforming might not have been allowed to complete, though the Source Monitor should be able to play it, as it relies on the actual source file.
Then, if it's still a no-go, I'd try a Render/Replace for that file's Audio portion.
If that still does not work, if you have Soundbooth, Audition or even the free Audacity, I'd rip the Audio to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit (yes, I know that is what it already is, but something is not working), and Import that resultant file, replacing any Audio stream from the muxed file.
Now, one quick question, and probably should have been asked first - do you get other Audio to play fine in PrPro? If not, see this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hunt

After Effets, audio clip won't play in multiple comps

Hello, I am currently working within AE CS3 and am experiencing a problem.
I edited an audio clip within AE and pre-composed those 4 Layers.
When I copy and paste a section of this audio pre-comp into a nother comp (in order to sync animations to audio only using the section of audio that is relevent to the section I'm animating) it shows up in the layers panel but is "greyed out" in the timeline and will not play.
However if I copy and paste the audio pre-comp in its entirety, it plays with out a problem.
This means that I'm having to reedit the audio pre-comp to time up with the "Main" comp
everytime I bring it into a new comp.
I know there's a solution but I've been strugeling fruitlessly to discover it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't quite follow. Unless you "chopped it up" by splitting the layers or pre-comp, there is no way to just paste sections - you always copy&paste the entire layer(s). when you do, it is no different than with any other layer - copy&paste retains the temporal alignment of the selections relative to the current time indicator (CTI). So if your time is different between comps, the pasted content will be inserted at different times, which could mean that content ends up outside the comp duration and you only see "empty" tracks. So by all means make sure to correctly sync the times of the comps.

Insert a clip into a new sequence, the clip will not play back

Macbookpro 8G ram twin 2.5 Intel, 1333 Mhz
I am an experienced editor coming over from AVID. This is my second project attempt in Premiere. First was fine. I imported clips that live on my hard drive. When I make a clip selection, mark the in and out and "insert into a new sequence, the sequence will not play back un less I render it first. I am talking about one (1) shot maybe 3 seconds long. I have done no other edits in the sequence and have added no effects but there is an effect icon on the clip in the sequence, This can't be right. It is not the way it worked for my first test project. It would take 40 hours to edit a 60 second spot… What has happened here?
Footage is 1080p 24fps. Short with a digital DSLR and Files are the same (.mov) as in the first project,

I have exactly the same problem. All of a sudden preview window is not working properly. In some projects it only plays audio with gray screen, in some it doesn't plays at all or plays audio from another projects. Sometimes preview gets frozen with the first frame in the project. I can however play video from Event Library, but without any sound. When I create new project and drag clips from Library, it plays with gray screen and again without sound. Restarting iMovie or Mac is no help. I'm using iMovie 8.0.6
Waiting for help desparatly, thank you

Audio clips suddenly not working??

I've been working on a movie for the past two days, and I have a lot of voice overs that I recorded in iMovie, I have music from iTunes I put over some clips, and I have other recordings I put in over pictures as well. it was perfect yesterday, and I came back today to finish up and suddenly none of the audio I imported is working. The audio in the videos I have is fine, but nothing else is working. The music won't play and my voiceovers are silent.
I tried deleting the music and putting it back in, and it doesn't work. It'll play the preview for me, and when I go into clip adjustments, it plays the music, but it won't play when I do playback. None of my voice overs work either. I tried recording a new one just now and it lets me record, but it is silent. Please help me fix this!! I can't even go back through and rerecord because nothing is working!

hi, i have the same audio interface as you. When i first got my mac, the same thing that happened to you occurred to me as well, i read the interface's manual and realised that Mac does not support the edirol, so i went to the edirol website and downloaded an updated driver for Mac and it worked. So you might want to try that. here's the link:

Audio Tracks will not play

Hi there,
I'm using FCP 7 for a project that was originally edited in Final Cut 6 (I had to switch to 7 because BOTH my computers at home have crashed today which use FCP6, now I'm up at my office and have to use 7 - bad day, I know).
I'm trying to do some sound edits and only one audio track is playing (tracks 3 and 4) which are the source audio from the XDCAM Footage (note, these tracks have not been soloed - if that's a word). All my other tracks are not working. When played they produce no sound, but the audio meters to the right are moving. When played in quicktime, iTunes, or Finder they do indeed still work.
Audio Output has been set to Default, though I've also tried Built-in Audio Output. I'm using headphones, but it also does not play through the computer. I've also tried speakers. All other audio on the computer is fine - my volume is up.
Sometimes I can get tracks one and two to play after re-rendering.
RT is set to Unlimited, but it also doesn't work with Safe RT.
Any insight into this issue would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Go to Sequence Settings...then the AUDIO TAB. How many tracks of audio do you have? More than 2 and STEREO?
If you right-click on the track patch area on the timeline, you can assign these tracks to audio ouputs...are they set to anything other than 1 or 2?

Midi notes or audio region do not play at the start of a bar?

I am having an issue with a midi loop I have created. If I let the song play a bit until it reaches the loop, logic works just as you'd expect it and everything plays correctly. But if I stop the song, or if I set the song into cycle mode so it repeats, the very first note of the midi loop is ignored, and not played.
So for example, if I set the cursor to start at bar 9, the starting point of the loop, the first midi note is not played. But if a set the cursor at bar 8 and let it play into bar 9 and the loop, all of the notes in the loop play correctly.
I found the following description of the same problem on another forum, but it seemed to suggest that there is no fix for this, which if true, seems kinda bad for a pro application. I was wondering if anyone knew of a workaround or fix to this, because its really annoying missing the notes, or having to expand the cycle region just to get all of the notes to play. Here is the text from the other forum:
_Logic doesn't play the very start of my audio regions when I start playback_
Question: If a region starts at e.g. 1 1 1 1, and it starts playing from the same position, it seems that Logic misses the first few samples - which is especially noticeable with fast-attack transients.
Answer: Apparently Logic doesn't use some kind of pre-play buffering. The workaround is to have your entire song start e.g. one bar later, at 2 1 1 1, and let Logic play from 1 1 1 1. This workaround obviously doesn't work if you've set up a cycle - in which case Logic will miss the first samples when it starts playing as well. Next time it loops through the cycle it does play properly. There's no workaround for this - it's a serious shortcoming of the way Logic handles audio playback. With cycles, you could resort to using the Pause instead of the Play button/command: this will let you start playback from somewhere before the start of the cycle instead of starting at cycle-start (which is what Play does).

I'm having the same problem.
one workaround is to change the delay to +1/192=20 in the delay box in inspector on the given midi track...but this is a terrible thing to have to do over and over again.
PLEASE help if you know what's going on.....I ran logic on my macbook and this NEVER happened. I just bought a macbook pro 2.5 and it's apparently now an issue?
I have searched the net for fixes, and none work....logic does have a pre-play buffer, but it's range isnt large enough to buffer the instrument I'm using...which means the range is less than 1/192...come on....that's messed.
If anyone figures this out, please message me back at [email protected]

Audio on Menus not playing

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help me.
Using Encore on CS4, I created a project with three motion menus. The text was adapted from an Adobe template and the 'motion'' elements (video and audio) were created in Premiere, saved as an MPEG, imported into Encore as an asset and then alt-dragged to the menus. All of this works well. I then preview and build the motion menus with the preview buttion and everything plays well, the video and the audio (though it would be nice to have some voume control - but that's another story) are great and the menu structure (1st play menu and two subs) play fine. I then build the DVD. Firstly burned directly to DVD, the on subsequent tries as an image and as a folder. On all of them there is no audio on the menus. The timelines that the menus que are fine, the audio works but not on the menus.
In frustration I created a flash file of the same project, and the audio was great. All there. I then went and analysed the DVD folder I created earlier and DVD Shrink found the menus and even found found associated audio as LPCM2-ch but alas, even using this program to compile an .ISO nothing improved.
Any ideas?
Thanks

......... I also do not want them rushing for the remote, to mute loud Menu Audio, only to have to then turn up the Volume, when the DVD plays. I like to "ease" the user into things. I find too many commercial DVD's, where the Menu Audio Volume is about +6dB above the other Audio and hate that. It does get my attention, but in a very bad way. It also scares my Bulldogs!
Good luck,
Hunt
Oh, dear me yes.
The way I have found for menu audio - if you really must have it - is to halve the level from what you think is comfortable, and then set it to loop 20 or 30 times over - you would be surprised at hiw quickly this becomes very annoying.......and now place yourself in your customers shoes.
@ the OP.
As Jeff says, please retry with Dolby DIgital or LPCM, LPCM definitely if you are looping on a tight loop.
MPEG audio is not your friend.

Audio for flv not playing...please help

In Captivate 3 - I have imported an flv of an avatar - the avatar motions and lips are moving yet the associated audio is not playing. When I play the flv out of captivate it works fine. Anyone experience this before, or something similar? Any thoughts, tips, or suggestions. Any direction is greatly appreciated.

Hi there
When does this occur?
